That’s right, other than Deng Bo, they didn’t see a single other crew member on the entire warship.
Deng Bo smiled and said, “Call me team leader. You don’t have to call me senior. From this moment onwards, we are a whole. I will be your team leader but also your friend. From now on, we are all brothers. Alright, find a seat and let’s get ready to take off. I am the only one from Tang Sect, but I still have you guys, right?”
Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt that this team leader was very open-minded!
At this moment, he carefully observed the situation inside the warship. The rear cabin of the warship was closed, and there was a door in the passage. It was closed for now, and since they were new here, they naturally couldn’t open it.
There were a total of 12 seats in the front cabin. Deng Bo took the responsibility to sit in the rear-middle. This seat was slightly higher than the rest and was probably the main control seat of the entire warship. He would be sitting there to control the entire warship and observe the other seats.
The other 11 seats were all around him. They formed a group and every seat was facing a porthole.
The warship was undoubtedly a novelty to them as they were completely unaware of how to operate a warship. However, since Deng Bo asked them to sit anywhere, everyone quickly found a seat.
Just after sitting down, metal belts shot out and attached them firmly on the seat. A layer of light rose from the seats and enveloped them. The metal that was originally transparent and allowed them to see the outside world suddenly dimmed and they could still see the outside, but large amounts of data and images appeared. For a moment, everyone was dazzled.
This warship’s metal walls were truly multi-functional! Not only could they see the outside, but they were also screens? How advanced.
At this moment, they were just like Ding Zhuohan, when he was piloting a space fighter for the first time, all filled with curiosity towards everything happening inside the warship.
“Let’s get ready to take off. This is my favorite moment.” Deng Bo’s excited voice resounded. Then, the warship began to hum.
Lan Xuanyu tried his best to turn his head and looked in Deng Bo’s direction. He saw that there was also a light shield covering Deng Bo’s main control seat, but the difference was that there was a helmet on his head that covered his head. There was also something that looked like a crystal ball under his palms.
The next moment, the warship suddenly moved. Without any warning, an extremely strong pushing sensation came over them. With a “whoosh”, the warship leaped forward. Then, everyone felt their internal organs churning, and their vision turned blank. This was because the warship had abruptly turned upwards in a nearly 90-degree manner and leaped up. Following that, a sonic boom resounded in their ears.
Everything happened so quickly that all of them felt as though they were pressed against the seats, unable to move at all. The adrenaline in their body was released, causing their face to turn red. The scenery before them changed rapidly.
The window seemed to have become slightly red from the high-speed friction; the strong impact was simply too explosive.
Lan Xuanyu had the clearest feeling because he was the least nervous out of everyone.
He realized that this space warship’s way of flying was completely different from the civilian spacecraft they were on previously. Compared to the speed of this spacecraft, the civilian spacecraft was simply too comfortable.
This space warship’s flying method was rather similar to a space fighter. But due to its large size, it was actually more comfortable than a space fighter. However, because it wasn’t within his control, there was still some fear in him.
Lan Xuanyu now understood why he had to learn how to pilot a space fighter in the Space Command Department. This warship was basically like a magnified space fighter. Learning how to pilot a space fighter was obviously very helpful in piloting a warship.
Through his observation of Deng Bo, he vaguely understood that piloting this warship should be done through brainwaves and connecting oneself to the system. In terms of speed and flight, it was similar to a warship, but mainly due to its size, it shouldn’t be as agile as a space fighter.
This was indeed a very good journey! Just this moment alone was very important for them to accumulate experience.
Lan Xuanyu was already looking forward to the final exam. This felt pretty good.
Although the warship’s flying speed was fast and was not as comfortable as a civilian spacecraft, it was clearly much better than a civilian spacecraft in terms of its limit. Other things aside, when passing through the atmosphere, it was not as intense as a civilian spacecraft. It merely trembled for a moment and charged out of the Mother Planet’s atmosphere like a wild horse, straight into space.
As they flew into space, everything around them began to change. The strong pushing sensation disappeared and was replaced by a very strange feeling. The gravity obviously decreased and although it didn’t allow people to float, the impact of the warship’s flight on the human body had decreased substantially. The quantity of oxygen in the air had increased, but the life energy that came from the Mother Planet had decreased. Everything was changing silently.
Deng Bo’s helmet rose, and the protective cover on his seat faded away. The team leader of this operation stood up and stretched. “Next, it will be a long journey. But don’t worry, our warship is flying much faster than civilian spaceships. We will reach our destination in about five days.”
As he spoke, the safety belts and protective shields on Lan Xuanyu’s team were activated, allowing them to regain their freedom of movement.
A silver light flickered in his hand as Deng Bo took out a set of silver spacesuits and threw them to them.
“Change your clothes, my teammates. We need to hide our identities during the operation, so all of you can’t wear your Shrek Academy uniforms anymore. Change into spacesuits. En, there are still other clothes left for you to wear inside in the cabins at the back. Take turns to change,” Deng Bo said with a smile.
Lan Xuanyu and his teammates looked at each other and couldn’t help but complain in their hearts. We’re already in space and you’re only thinking of changing our clothes now? Is this appropriate? Space suits give one the ability to resist impacts, so they should be changed before taking off!
However, Deng Bo clearly had no intention of explaining his actions. It was as though everything was normal.
Lan Xuanyu’s group of seven went to the back to change their clothes. Needless to say, their clothes were quite fitting and had elasticity, which was very compatible with their figures.
When they were all dressed and returned to the front cabin, they looked at each other and a strange feeling arose in their hearts. From now on, they were part of a warship’s crew ! This kind of first time felt extremely wonderful.
Lan Xuanyu asked Deng Bo, “Team leader, what do you need us to do now? Also, what is the purpose of our operation this time?”
Deng Bo said, “We’re going to a place to rescue a few people this time, they are people from Tang Sect. We’ll talk about the details when we get there. We’ll act according to the situation and decide what to do. What you guys need to do now is to learn how to pilot this warship. Come, Lan Xuanyu, you’re first. Sit in the main control seat and do as I say.”
‘We can learn how to pilot a warship? Straight up doing it ? No need to train in a simulator first?’
Although Lan Xuanyu’s heart was filled with questions, he still walked over excitedly and sat down.
