Chapter 78 Receiving New Models

the next day.

The members of the second carrier-based combat boat detachment gathered sleepily in the common room.

The lieutenant colonel stood at the front of the line with his hands on his hips, and shouted: "Look at you! You look like slugs! Didn't you just have fun yesterday? Entertainment, it can't affect your work and training! In order to cheer you up, everyone 50 push-ups! NOW!"

Everyone immediately started doing push-ups.

In fact, for the elite of the Space Force, 50 push-ups is a trivial matter.

Astronauts are very physically fit. After all, they have to wear spacesuits that are heavier than their own weight.

When Wang Pingan was doing push-ups, he always heard the sound of hitting the floor next to him, so he turned his head curiously.

The team is assigned according to their partners. Wang Pingan and the others are at the end of the team. As the commander, Wang Pingan is arranged on the right side, and only Angeli is left on the left side.

Every time Angeli presses down in a push-up, there will be a crashing sound.

Wang Ping'an was very curious. After careful observation, he found that the buttons on the chest of Nima Angli's military uniform were clapped on the floor.

The standard push-ups of the Space Force is that the body cannot touch the ground. When the push-up is at the lowest point, the upper arm and shoulder line must be flat and in a straight line.

When Wang Pingan pressed to this position, nothing on his body except his toes was in contact with the ground, perfectly parallel to the ground.

But when Angeli reached this level, the button hit the ground.

Angeli now wears the sports chest protectors issued by the army, and the size is abruptly reduced by several sizes. It seems that under the effect of simulated gravity, her original shape has been revealed.

This was the first time Wang Pingan had seen such a scene.After all, the time he and Angeli had spent in a place with gravity was not too long, and the total amount was less than two weeks.Push-ups are an exercise method that doesn't work well when there is no gravity.

There is another way to maintain physical fitness in a zero-gravity space, and Wang Ping'an only saw Angli doing that.

He was looking at the girl, and the lieutenant colonel scolded: "Wang Ping'an! What are you looking at! You make thirty more, and let your six sense organs be clean!"

"Yes!" Wang Pingan replied loudly, and then accelerated the speed of push-ups.

After the push-ups, everyone seemed to be more energetic, and Lieutenant Colonel Nicholas was also very satisfied: "This is decent! Give you 30 seconds to drink water, hurry up!"

The veterans had already expected push-ups, so they all came out with water bottles, and the six newcomers could only rush to the faucet next to the ecological flower bed.

After drinking enough water, the lieutenant colonel started: "Everyone knows that the instructor will arrive at our place tomorrow, so we will not start any serious training programs today.

"The main things we have to do today are, first, go to the factory to inspect and accept the combat boats that have been returned to the factory for maintenance. By the way, we also have a look at the things for the new comrades. The second is to collectively watch the battle records. Tell me about your experience! Are there any questions?"

Wang Pingan shouted decisively: "Report!"

"speak!"

"Can we decide the painting of the battleship ourselves?"

"No, it's still the same white and green color scheme. But you can decide what logo to paint on the fuselage. The psychology department believes that this will help improve the morale of the frontline troops."

Wang Pingan: "Replacing that painting can also improve morale?"

"Wang Pingan, don't be stubborn in these places. When you carry out the sneak attack mission, you will be replaced with cool pure black ones, so don't worry about this." The lieutenant colonel said seriously.

Wang Pingan felt that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, and felt that it was better not to mess around at this time.

"Okay, let's go to the factory."

**
On the way to the factory, Angeli suddenly asked Wang Ping'an in a low voice, "Did you just look at my buttons?"

"Yes, I am drawn to the sound."

"It's your fault that you made thirty more."

"How can you blame me. I said you should have an operation to extract it, it will affect your activities too much."

"No, I'm used to having this, but I'm not used to it if I cut it. You don't want your partner to become someone who can't even turn around in zero gravity, right?"

Wang Pingan shrugged.

**
The body of the second carrier-based aircraft detachment is currently being overhauled by the 331st factory.

The factory is set up in the zero-gravity area connected to the dock, so it is more convenient to transport the combat boat to the mothership.

As soon as Wang Ping'an arrived at the pier, he saw the two fast transport ships that had come together with the Short Life Brilliant Burning were leaving the port.

He shouted curiously: "Report, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, why is there no escort for the cargo ship leaving the port?"

The lieutenant colonel replied: "Because the pirates can't catch up with them. These ships can go directly to the torch string, and the pirates have no chance of intercepting them when they leave the asteroid belt."

Wang Pingan said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions.

When we arrived at Factory 331, the on-site officers greeted the second team.

"Your combat boat has been fully maintained, Comrade Nikolai Pantelevich, please accept it."

After the formalized process was completed, a group of people followed the officer into the factory.

The first thing that catches the eye is the fuselage with staves and musical note marks on the side of the fuselage. There are six white stars on the hatch of the fuselage representing the number of shots taken down.

Wang Ping'an was speechless: "Would you be able to get gold stars after beating six pirates?"

Gong Chuanguo in front turned his head back: "Of course it's impossible. What are you thinking? There are quite a few people who shot down the top 5 here, but the only one who got the gold star is the lieutenant colonel."

Angeli also asked curiously: "Then how did he get his Venus?"

"If you kill two notorious pirate leaders in one shot, you can take it." The lieutenant colonel replied in person, "I will tell you in detail what happened when I share my experience later."

Wang Ping'an and An Geli nodded together.

Parabas had doubts at this time, so he shouted: "Report!"

"speak."

"Those additional parts on the airframe don't seem to be standard parts?"

It was the guide officer who answered this question: "Yes, we will carry out some additional reinforcements according to the requirements of the front line. After all, this is a mining area, and there are large smelting plants. We can produce steel or some special steel products here. Even ablative-resistant materials can be found that can be used to defend against lasers.

"So most of the combat boats here will do some personalized customization, because it will actually increase the combat efficiency, so everyone will turn a blind eye to such things as violating military regulations."

Wang Pingan: "Ah? Then why don't we let us decide the painting?"

Lieutenant Colonel: "Of course because the paintwork doesn't actually increase combat effectiveness - except for the plain black matte paintwork. So only that paintwork is allowed."

Wang Pingan: "Will it really not affect the combat efficiency at all? I think that if it is painted red, it may make the combat boat accelerate faster!"

Both recruits and veterans laughed together.

The lieutenant colonel still had a straight face: "If you have statistical evidence, show it, and I will sign and approve you to change the paint job."

Wang Pingan pouted.

Then the group looked at the other people's airframes, and after confirming that there were no problems, the lieutenant colonel rubbed his hands and said, "Next is the part that new comrades are most concerned about. The combat boats assigned to you this time are new models. "

The six new players, including Wang Pingan, frowned.

No, Angeli didn't frown, probably because she has only joined the Space Force for half a year, and she still doesn't know what the new model means.

Wang Pingan: "Why do you give us a new model that has not been tested in all aspects? Is there no problem with reliability?"

The reliability of the old model is piled up with human life.

The newer models don't have such reliability anyway.

The on-site officer answered Wang Pingan: "The basic performance of the new model is 40% higher than that of the old model. It has a more efficient reactor, a more efficient propeller, and a newly designed main gun..."

"And worse reliability." Wang Pingan answered.

Lieutenant Colonel: "Space Army soldiers don't complain. If you really dare not fly a new model, I will fly and you fly mine. No matter what, drag out the new model."

After the voice fell, the door to the hangar where the new model was parked slowly opened.
