From the moment the Earth Unity discovered its existence, humans began to colonize this planet. At the same time, a military facility called the New Edward Flight Test Center was built on it.
In order to use this military facility built on the planet Eden to carry out a new airframe plan to replace the current VF fighter.
Project Supernova.
This is a brand new plan that the Earth Unity has high hopes for to replace the old VF11 with a new type of fighter aircraft.
certainly.
This is not a new plan specifically for a single model.
Instead, it was a test plan carried out by two test flight teams from different development companies.
In the competition between these two competing test flight teams, whoever develops a fighter jet that can stand out in the final test will become the final winner of the Earth Integration to replace the old VF11.
As a result, the YF19 test flight team from Nova Industries and the YF21 test flight team from General Galaxy began to compete fiercely at the New Edward Flight Test Center.
However.
In this fierce competition, the YF19 test flight team first welcomed at least four test pilots. However, these skilled and confident test pilots were defeated one after another in the face of the ultra-high performance of the YF19.
Come down.
Or, be sent to the hospital for rescue.
Or, just upgrade it to two levels on the spot and return the nameplate and body to the family.
This is undoubtedly extremely bad news for the YF19 test flight team.
However, General Galaxy's YF21 test flight team is not happy about this.
Although the test pilots of the YF19 test flight team suffered successive failures, were replaced, and the test progress continued to be delayed, the YF21 team, which was one step ahead, also encountered the same accident.
YF21 development director and test pilot Garut Gao Baumann suddenly had an accident during a test flight.
Although YF21 was saved thanks to Garut's efforts and did not suffer much damage overall, Garut was injured by the explosion of instruments in the cockpit - the most serious injury was the fragments blown off his right hand.
It passed through, and the rest of the area was just skin trauma.
For ordinary people, it might just be a matter of wearing a sling and hanging on the right hand for a while, but for Garut, it was life-threatening.
Just when YF21, which had devoted all its efforts, was about to compete in the Supernova Project, it encountered such an accident.
Garutt, who injured his right hand, can be said to have lost the opportunity to drive the YF21.
Therefore, in desperation, Garut could only submit the report to Colonel Milad, the master in charge of the supernova project, and began the repair work of YF21.
Fortunately, the overall structure of YF21 has been preserved relatively intact. It only needs to replace various instruments in the cockpit before repair and debugging can be carried out.
As the day for another flight test gets closer and closer, the report submitted by Garut finally received a response.
"Garut. This is the test pilot sent by the headquarters to support the YF19 team. His name is Lei Mingkai."
As soon as he walked into Milad's office, Garut saw a young pilot wearing a bomber jacket with a white cat lying on his shoulder.
Garut did not speak, but saluted Milad in response, and then looked at the young man who stood up straight.
Little did he know that when he was sizing up the pilot sent by his headquarters, the other person was also sizing him up.
Even though the Jet Lati people's bloodline has been miniaturized, they still have a figure of more than 2 meters tall standing in front of them, which indeed has an unusual pressure.
However, Lei Mingkai already knew what kind of person the person in front of him was.
Garut.
This is one of Lei Mingkai's goals for this mission.
Although the mission of the Space-Time Administration did not mention much about Garut, intuitively, Lei Mingkai vaguely felt that this might be an opportunity.
Especially when Lei Mingkai saw Garut, who was supposed to be flying the YF21 on a test flight, but was injured in his right hand, his intuition became even stronger.
Therefore, Lei Mingkai must make good use of He Meimei and use some kind of power that he does not know to create an opportunity for him to naturally become a test pilot sent by the Earth Unity to this flight test center.
"Lei Mingkai! This is the identity ID of the Earth Unity. You should be able to use it after you enter that world."
Thinking of He Meimei's explanation, Lei Mingkai gradually formed a plan in his mind.
"I don't remember that the report said that a pilot with a little white cat would be sent to support."
Garut retracted his gaze from sizing up Lei Mingkai and said in a deep voice.
This may have been a provocation.
Lei Mingkai moved his eyes slightly, glanced at Milad who was watching from the sidelines and did not express any opinions, then stepped forward and counterattacked:
"If you only rely on the standard of having a pet to judge the opponent's strength, then I think that being injured on your right hand is indeed a very commendable thing."
"What?!"
Injuring his right hand was something Garut didn't want to happen, and it was also his scar.
Unexpectedly, Lei Mingkai opened his scar as soon as he opened his mouth.
Anger suddenly rushed to Garut's forehead, but at the moment of its onset, Milad finally spoke.
"Stop! Garut."
After stopping Garut's movements, Milad moved his eyes to Lei Mingkai and introduced him:
"Second Lieutenant Lei Mingkai. This is General Galaxy. Director Garut Gao Baumann, who is responsible for the development of YF21, is also the test pilot of YF21. However, not long ago, Director Garut had an accident during a test flight.
As a result, my right hand was injured. That’s why I gave you the order to come to support.”
"Yes! Colonel Millard."
Lei Mingkai responded, then saluted Garut:
"Director Garut! I am Lei Mingkai, second lieutenant. Starting from today, I will be responsible for the test flight mission of YF21. Please give me your advice."
Garut suppressed the anger in his heart, but was reluctant to shake hands with Lei Mingkai. However, under Milad's gaze, Garut finally reached out and reconciled with Lei Mingkai.
However, the handshake time between the two parties was a little long.
"The physique of the Jet Lati is indeed as strong as rumored."
After the two parties let go of their hands, Lei Mingkai praised him with a relaxed expression.
But Garut's expression was one of astonishment.
Just now, when Garut shook hands with Lei Mingkai, he did have a small evil intention.
But he didn't expect that under Garut's gradually increasing strength, Lei Mingkai not only didn't show any pain, but actually made Garut feel a force that was almost the same as Garut's and that was competing with each other.
"Is this the power humans have?!"
The physique of the Jet Lati is famous throughout the galaxy.
After becoming giants, the Jetlati can even rely on their bodies to use the heavy weapons used to equip VF fighters.
In comparison, human beings can only be described as weak.
The sight of Remingkai in front of him made Garutt feel the urge to re-examine his situation.
Maybe, I really made a mistake.
"Colonel Milad and Second Lieutenant Lei Mingkai arrived just in time. Now the repair work of YF21 has been completed. We can start testing again."
With various thoughts in his mind, Garut reported again to Milad about the repair progress of YF21.
"Have the repairs been completed?"
Milad pondered for a moment, then looked at Lei Mingkai.
"Second Lieutenant, do you have any questions?"
Lei Mingkai responded:
"No. No problem. Colonel, I'm available to carry out my mission at any time."
"Well. Then, let's get started!"
Milad nodded, and then mentioned it casually when Garut was about to take Lei Mingkai away.
"By the way. It seems that Yang Nuowen has also found a test pilot and will report here in the near future."
Garut nodded slightly.
"I understand. However, our YF21 is the best. No matter how many pilots come from Yang Nuowen, the result will not change."
"Haha. Having this confidence is a good thing. Then, Second Lieutenant Lei Mingkai, I will leave it to you for the time being."
"clear!"
The hill-like figure walked silently ahead.
After coming out of Millard's office, Garutt has been leading the way attentively, without slowing down or turning around to introduce everything about the new Edward Flight Test Center to Remingkai.
"Did that big guy hate you?"
The white cat Zero lay motionless on Lei Mingkai's shoulder, but its voice rang in Lei Mingkai's mind.
When Garut looked at it just now, the indifferent look with a hint of contempt made White Cat Zero itch with hatred.
If it hadn't been for the fact that it couldn't reveal its identity now, the white cat Zero would have jumped up and greeted Garut with a sharp-toothed greeting.
"I guess so!"
Lei Mingkai shrugged indifferently, causing the white cat Zero lying on his shoulder to quickly change positions to stabilize his body.
"Hmph. I feel like a little human child who has been robbed of his beloved toy."
The white cat Zero glanced disdainfully at Garut's back, revealing two pointed tiger teeth.
"Quiet. We've arrived at Gnaku."
Garut in front stopped and lowered his body slightly before the checkpoint leading to Gnaku, aiming the detection probe at his pupils. At the same time, he also placed his left hand on the palmprint detector.
"I am Garut, and I am currently leading the new test pilots to carry out the test mission."
After some inspections, after the pupils, voiceprints, and palmprints were all confirmed to be correct, the Gnaku where YF21 was parked was opened in front of Lei Mingkai's eyes.
Surrounded by more than a dozen ground staff, a fighter plane that Lei Mingkai was very familiar with was quietly parked in the Gnaku. Through the links of many pipelines extending from the side, it was carefully checked over and over again by the system.
Check everywhere and try to find possible faults.
"YF21, Swift. This is my brainchild. Second Lieutenant Lei Mingkai, do you know the importance of your mission?"
Garut stopped and looked at the new fighter plane from a distance that was quietly waiting for his knight to arrive.
"Yes. I have a full understanding of the upcoming mission."
Lei Mingkai responded without hesitation.
"Well. Change your clothes, then sit on it, and let me see how far your consciousness has reached."
Without hesitation or pause, Garut raised his left hand, pointed at YF21 Swift and said.
The sound was so loud that it attracted everyone preparing for YF21.
Garut was straightforward, and Lei Mingkai was even more cheerful.
Even though everyone was watching, Lei Mingkai quickly put on the YF21 specially designed for YF21 under the guidance of Garut. It was equipped with the BDI (Brainwave Control System) system developed by Garut.
Designed driving uniforms.
Although it doesn't look much different from other driving clothes when worn, there are obvious differences in the subtle feel.
Especially after Lei Mingkai sat in the cockpit of YF21, he was waiting for the ground crew to put on the "coat" of linking with the BDI system.
"Second Lieutenant, I will take care of your cat for you temporarily."
In Garut's huge palm, there is a white cat that appears to be very well-behaved and motionless, but is actually secretly scolding constantly.
"Hey! Kai. You won't let this big guy look at me, will you?!"
Lei Mingkai was unmoved by this.
White Cat Zero grinned and struggled a few times, only to find that Garut's hand was really strong.
In desperation, in order to avoid hurting Garut, whom it regarded as a big man, the white cat Zero had no choice but to stay "behaved".
"There is no abnormality in the first and second sensory systems."
"Brainwave control system, good link!"
The staff member responsible for the monitoring system raised his head and looked at Garut.
Members involved in the YF21 development project all know that to be able to truly drive the YF21 and control the BDI (Brainwave Control System) system mounted on it, it is necessary to learn 45 hours of relevant introductory knowledge and 35 hours of brain image creation in advance.
After training, plus at least 120 hours of extremely time-consuming training such as establishing a database of brain wave activity, you can be qualified to drive YF21.
The members who were very familiar with this were all puzzled when they saw that Garut allowed the newly reported pilot to board YF21 at once.
"Let's get started!"
Garut ignored the doubts of his team members and gave the order directly.
Maybe I want to try this support pilot's ability,
Or maybe he wanted the support pilot to have a taste of the unknown.
In short, with Garut's acquiescence, the "cloak" of the BDI system was finally linked to Lei Mingkai.
"Second Lieutenant, do you know about zazen?"
Garut's voice suddenly sounded in Remingkai's ears.
Lei Mingkai did not speak, but silently muttered "I know" in his heart.
The next second, an electronically synthesized voice that restored Lei Mingkai's voice to the greatest extent suddenly sounded.
stunned,
surprise,
All appeared on the faces of the members of the YF21 development team.
In surprise, everyone's eyes also focused on Garut's face.
Likewise, they saw the surprise on Garut's face.
"continue!"
Taking a deep breath, Garut ordered.
"A bunch of self-righteous fools."
The "well-behaved" white cat Zero glanced slightly at the people around him and smiled secretly in his heart.
According to Lei Mingkai's strength, coupled with the secret assistance of the White Cat Zero, isn't this fighter easily captured?
The cockpit cover slowly closed, and Lei Mingkai was completely connected to YF21 at this moment.
"Human-machine brainwave link! Echo completed!"
Garut spoke again.
"Second Lieutenant Lei Mingkai! Can the BDI system in the brain be set up to do this?"
The corners of Lei Mingkai's mouth raised slightly, and he directly responded to Garut with practical actions.
As Lei Mingkai's brainwaves became more and more active, the three cameras installed on the YF21 nose continued to move, changing the shooting angle, and the picture was constantly distorted, but quickly adjusted to the normal magnification.
Suddenly it was generated in Lei Mingkai's mind.
At the same time, as Lei Mingkai's eyeballs move, various camera modes such as X-ray, infrared, and normal light are switched one by one.
"B·····BDI system setup completed."
As the incredible sounds came one after another, Garut's eyes slowly closed, seeming to breathe a sigh of relief.
This new pilot seems to be more capable than he imagined.
"Second Lieutenant, take off!"
"learn!"
As a result, the YF21, which lost its test pilot due to accidental damage and almost lost its qualification to compete, once again took off from the takeoff runway of the New Edward Flight Test Center.
