Chapter 69 "Peace" passed
Angeli immediately issued an order: "There is no air and there is an open flame. There may be a chemical leak. Prioritize cutting off the chemical pipeline. Has the drone image returned?"

"I'm back!" Wang Pingan yelled while operating the drone with the small console on his wrist, "I will control the drone to use quick-drying fireproof glue."

At the same time, the whole team took action immediately, almost no instructions from Angeli were needed.

A group of people worked hard for a long time, the fire on the fifth deck was extinguished, and the damage was repaired. Just as the group of people wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, the spacecraft once again entered an acceleration of 4 gal.

Wang Pingan and others were firmly pressed down by four times the gravity of the earth, and they were basically unable to move without a powered exoskeleton.

Fortunately, only the main engine can provide such a large acceleration, so the direction of acceleration will not change all the time.

All spaceships of the Space Force have fully considered this situation when designing. The direction of the main engine is originally set to be the direction of the "ground". People will also stand on the "floor".

Wang Pingan put the vibration sensing device on the bulkhead, so through the vibration, he could "hear" the creaking sound of the spacecraft's structure during violent maneuvering.

Angeli is also listening. For damage control personnel, "listening" to identify the state of the spacecraft skeleton is a very important ability.

The personal computer itself will analyze the status of the spacecraft based on the perceived mechanical waves, but sometimes experienced veterans can hear things that the computer cannot analyze.

Of course, Wang Ping'an is not an "old loser". He is actually no better at computers.

But you still have to listen. After all, there is no other way to know how the battle is going. You can only feel the war through the twisting and trembling of the spaceship skeleton.

Someone muttered on the radio: "I don't know what the fight is like, damn it, I don't even know the distance between the enemy and us, it's too bad luck."

Although Wang Pingan did not speak, he fully understood their feelings.

When driving a combat boat, he is the main driver. All the radar, infrared and optical sensing devices on the battleship are his eyes and ears. He can clearly know what the battlefield is like and what the enemy is like.

And at that time he was in control of the spaceship, at that time he was the master of his own destiny.

Now, staying inside the spaceship, under the protection of thick armor, at the same time, the armor and completely isolated the perception of the battlefield, I don’t know if the spaceship will be hit by the high-temperature plasma of the ion cannon in the next moment, and I will also be in the next moment. Evaporate directly at sudden high temperature.

This feeling was never felt when driving a combat boat.

At this time, Wang Ping'an deeply felt that he was not a master at all, but a screw on a huge machine called a cruiser. He could only do his duty and could not change anything.

In the main control room of the training center, Director Guo suddenly found that Diao Youming was not paying attention to the battle situation, so he asked curiously, "Don't you care about the fight?"

"With your professional evaluators scoring, I completely trust you." While speaking, Diao Youming continued to pay attention to the physical data of each trainee, including hormone secretion, sweating rate, body temperature, heartbeat, breathing...

At the same time, he kept switching the angle of view inside the helmet of the spacesuit to observe the expressions of the supplementary team members.

Colonel Guo: "So this is your purpose?"

"Yes. I'm an instructor, the head of the psychology department. I've selected the replacement soldiers in the past. The skills and tactics can be flawed. Anyway, the veterans and pirates will teach them when they get there. But the inner quality must be good."

Colonel Guo was stunned: "Are the pirates here to teach... I guess tuition is life?"

"Not necessarily. Most of the pirates are very good. After all, they don't have as good and complete training as us. But if you encounter those vicious pirates during the recruiting period, it will be fate, although I say this is not suitable."

Colonel Guo nodded and asked another question: "So there are so many recruits, which one do you like the most?"

"Wang Ping'an," Diao Youming replied immediately, "His partner is also very interesting, but lacks some refinement, but with rich combat experience, he should also become an old fritter."

After a brief pause, Diao Youming added: "Of course, if they can survive."

Colonel Guo asked solemnly: "Are the pirates becoming more and more rampant? Is it my illusion?"

"No. The asteroid belt is a huge treasure trove. 50 asteroids are distributed in the vast space between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. I don't know how many precious minerals there will be.

"In fact, I personally think that the asteroid belt is very similar to the 'West' when the United States moved westward. There is wealth and opportunity everywhere, but there is no order and gangsters are rampant.

"The west gradually got rid of barbarism by the railways. Wherever the railways extend, civilization and order will extend. Cowboys and gangsters seem to be driven by the railways and gradually die out.

"But the asteroid belt does not currently have anything like a 'railway', and the order is only maintained within the patrol range of the space force. The number of pirates is generally increasing, and there are also mercenaries from large companies. The asteroid belt will be more and more It's getting more and more lively."

Colonel Guo was speechless, and said: "It seems that order can only be promoted in the asteroid belt when the mass production of the super thrusters we prepare for the Centaur project becomes popular."

"That's what it is. 15.00% of the speed of light, man, it might take a day to get from Earth to Mars with that engine. But that's a concern of scientists, not mine."

As soon as the words fell, the two cruisers in the simulated battle decided the winner.

The cruisers of group A were hit by the plasma of the ion cannon, losing a certain amount of maneuverability, and then hit by the railgun consecutively.

Colonel Guo commented: "The damage control work of Team A is more efficient, but unfortunately the command is a bit inferior. This guy named Andou Dou is not very good. Thanks to his parents for giving him such a name."

Diao Youming interjected: "The combination of Ander and Xiaodouzi? Ender himself and Ender's shadow merge into one... At least one of his parents is a fan of science fiction, maybe both.

"I have to admit that the United States still has left a lot of good things, and the science fiction of the golden age is one of them."

At this time, an officer reported to Colonel Guo: "After the scoring is completed, should the performance ranking be displayed now?"

Colonel Guo: "Show it."

The performance scores of the 200 replacement candidates are then arranged on the main display screen.

Diao Youming took a look at the rankings of Wang Ping'an and An Geli, and he let out a sigh of relief.

Colonel Guo said: "It seems that you don't need to use your authority to give him extra points."

"What are you talking about? I don't have that plan at all." Diao Youming said in a tone that made it difficult to discern his real thoughts.

**
In this way, the six-day selection was over.

Wang Pingan and Angeli belong to the second echelon, but they will undoubtedly be added to Ceres.

But Fu Zhilong and others were mercilessly eliminated.

Lin just crossed the 100-ranked line with his low-flying results, and his partner fell out.

Now, the only thing standing between Wang Ping'an and Ceres is the psychological evaluation.
