Just as Wang Tianwei had thought, these ships were all discards from the military.
Currently, the Federation's ships all utilized high-precision integrated navigation systems, and their hulls and weapon payloads were continuously evolving in the direction of mechas.
These old relics, whose materials couldn't withstand further modifications and had been stripped of their weapons and equipment, were practically streaking naked in the eyes of today's Federation citizens.
Exactly because of this, they were dug out by the organizing committee to contribute their last bit of strength to the Military Academy League!
The people from Valk and the First Military Academy both took much more time to figure out the correct way to pilot this ship. Surprisingly, Lian Sheng from Santorini picked it up just as quickly as Wang Tianwei!
This was because Lian Sheng had been deeply interested in both sea vessels and starships since he was a child. Even before graduating from elementary school, he had already studied the iterative development charts of various Federation ships.
He just hadn't expected that the knowledge others considered useless would come in handy this time. When the ship started moving exactly as he envisioned, Lian Sheng felt an indescribable sense of exhilaration!
The ocean before him stretched boundlessly, as if waiting for him and his companions to conquer it together!
In order to understand the specific condition of the entire ship, Wang Tianwei suggested going to the engine room to take a look, so Huang Yan took over her position.
Actually, in Wang Tianwei's eyes, this ship was far from needing to be scrapped.
The autopilot was already basically functional; they only needed to use their mental power to watch out for undercurrents or hidden reefs.
Of course, there was no radar, but that wasn't a problem. She had one! Install it, install it!
Upon seeing the old-fashioned fuel tank in the engine room, Wang Tianwei couldn't help but touch the gas cap with nostalgia.
Fuel, huh...
She knew the organizing committee wouldn't be kind enough to provide them with much energy!
Pouting at the little bee drone that was live-streaming, she took out the hydraulic energy accumulator she made yesterday and connected it to the energy pipeline. She then walked out of the cabin with the other part, secured one end, and threw it directly into the sea.
What a joke! Generating energy? I am a professional!
Shen Jie, the chairman of the organizing committee, couldn't help but press his fist against his lips and laugh when he saw this scene. Nothing could stump her!
Looking at her like this, she seems more like an engineer who knows a bit of everything.
Meng Chongyun also spoke with a faint smile.
The other four squads have also grown quite a bit; they all knew to check their energy supplies right away.
The teachers from the various academies nodded as they watched their students' performances. That was the way to do it.
Being at sea was not like being on land, where you could just walk if you ran out of energy. If they encountered danger and couldn't run away, they would be in big trouble...
Although Wang Tianwei's research on ships wasn't deep, she knew that at sea, the most important thing was energy, the second was directional positioning, and the third was communication equipment.
Coincidentally, she had done quite a bit of research on this after the last match, and she even had signal-concealing crystals in her spatial button!
By melting a portion of them into the ship's hull to weaken the reflected signals, she could make it impossible for the other squads to detect their presence.
Hehehe, just thinking about it was exciting!
Of course, when the match was over, she would have to collect all those signal-concealing crystals back. There was absolutely no room for waste!
Was it easy for her to get things from Planet Kashgar?
...Can anyone tell me what Sister Zebra is doing? How did a mecha master start repairing ships!?
A good mecha master needs to know how to do everything! Let the fierce competition begin, my friends!
I knew it... As soon as the junior shows up, she drives the whole Federation into intense competition. Long live the involution sect! [Exhausted smile]
Wh-what? I've studied mecha structure for so many years, and now I have to learn ship hull structure too!?
It's just hull structure for now, temporarily. Who knows what it will be in the next match...
Jian Jingyu and Zhang Lyra patrolled around the deck twice. The cabin was completely empty, with nothing that needed tidying up.
Sir Huang was steering, and Sister Zebra was modifying the ship. Seeing that he really couldn't be of any help, Jian Jingyu took out two fishing rods.
Since things are like this, let's get lunch sorted first?
...Alright.
By the time Wang Tianwei finished handling the ship, the large buckets behind her two teammates were already filled with quite a bit of seafood.
A seafood feast!?
Zhang Lyra reeled in her rod and looked at the pile of ingredients with disgust.
So fishy...
She still preferred eating meat.
It won't be fishy once it's prepared! Hahaha, I'll clean them!
Wang Tianwei happily picked up the bucket.
Being at sea was great! At sea, at least they wouldn't lack food like they did in the desert. Was there anything that made her happier than being able to eat her fill?
Let's taste it first. If it's good, we can catch some more to pack and take with us when we leave!
Sitting in the cockpit, Huang Yan expressionlessly swallowed a seasickness pill, released his mental power for early warning, and finally closed his eyes.
This swaying feeling was really not pleasant... but he had to adapt to it as quickly as possible.
He wasn't the only one experiencing seasickness. Taylor from Valk, as well as Ye Yingxuan and Leola from the First Military Academy, felt dizzy and nauseous not long after staying on their ships.
This was a physiological reaction that couldn't be relieved immediately, so they had no choice but to obediently take their medicine and return to the cabin to rest.
The good thing about being on a ship was that they finally had a place to shelter from the wind and rain, so they no longer had to pitch tents every day like before.
They also didn't need to walk to travel. The rapid night marches from the previous time had left a considerable psychological shadow on the four contestants from Santorini!
So this time, every single one of them was incredibly happy. They were also the only squad with no one suffering from seasickness!
Was it the effect of the seasickness pill, or had Huang Yan's own recovery ability grown stronger?
By the time Jian Jingyu finished cooking the seafood feast for lunch, he was no longer feeling so miserable.
However, to be on the safe side, he didn't eat with Wang Tianwei and the others, but chose to drink a nutrient solution instead.
After taking a few bites, Zhang Lyra couldn't help but be surprised. Even though she was of the Bear tribe, she had always been completely unable to tolerate the smell of fish.
But after Sister Zebra and Goldfish processed it, that fishy smell was really gone!?
Jian Jingyu noticed Little Bear's gaze and looked immensely proud of himself.
Isn't it delicious? I specifically learned this from my mom! She said you can never go wrong preparing it this way!
Chewing on a piece of squid, Wang Tianwei gave him two thumbs up, pouring out praises as if they cost nothing.
How could we live without you, Goldfish!? In the future, whenever we encounter danger, just hide in the back; I will protect you!
The viewers in the live broadcast room couldn't help but laugh at this sight.
The art of language!
Jian Jingyu is being praised so much his mouth is curling up to the sky...
@Momo, how could I live without you!? I want to eat seafood too, sister!
Isn't the person above learning and applying things a bit too fast?
As an assaulter... Jian Jingyu really seems to be enjoying this!
Chao Hao and Fu Manli's soft chuckles were caught on camera right then, and the host immediately threw out a question to liven up the atmosphere.
The teachers from Qilin also think the relationship among their students is very good, right?
Hehe... The kids have their own way of getting along.
I believe everyone also knows that the common hobby of the four people from Qilin is eating!
I heard that the reason contestants Wang Tianwei and Huang Yan chose Qilin was because they took a fancy to your cafeteria. I've always been curious if this is true?
