Chapter 1996 Entering the Ship
The battleship was officially named Apocalypse. Although the middle-aged man said it was a sanction against aliens, how could Xiao Ran not feel this guy's hatred for the Union? Perhaps this name also expressed the deepest thoughts in the middle-aged man's heart, which was to sanction and destroy the Union.
Xiao Ran doesn't feel anything bad about this. The name is very good and has symbolic meaning. If it were to be named Xiao Ran, it would probably be named Minerva, and then the names of the attached battleships would be No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4. Xiao Ran is also very helpless about being unable to name, hahaha.
However, a seven-hundred-meter warship, and a special warship with a master and four officers, requires extremely exaggerated personnel. In addition to the insufficient diameter, the length is about two thousand meters. It is basically an aircraft carrier-level strategic existence. Of course, this can only be placed in this world. Such a warship is actually not enough in front of a MACROSS-class Battleship like Burning Legion. Except for the length, all other aspects are thrown out of the sky.
The entire battleship is fully equipped, so at least a thousand people are needed to truly operate the battleship. After all, there is no such thing as Super AI in this world.
After Xiao Ran looked at the rough information about the entire ship, he also looked at other people who were also looking at the information about this ship, such as Patrick, such as Siegel.
As if feeling Xiao Ran's eyes, Patrick also nodded and smiled at Xiao Ran, "I didn't expect that such a battleship would be built in the end. There is indeed a need for personnel. There are too many points. I will try my best to fill up the number of people required for this ship, but you know that this is a war period after all. ZAFT needs experienced people to serve as the backbone in all aspects, and it also needs to have more manpower, so it can only be filled with more recruits in proportion."
After taking a look at Patrick, Xiao Ran nodded helplessly. "The standard configuration is 1,200 people. I'm afraid it won't be easy for the technical class and logistics team of 200 people alone. Okay, just follow your ideas. In addition, let Orb send some more people to fill various positions."
A rare sincere smile appeared on Patrick's face, and he nodded. "Those who are not very grateful, Orb was able to send people over and it really helped us a lot, although we were responsible for everything on the battleship at the beginning."
Xiao Ran shook his head and saw Patrick's plan at this time. It was clear that he wanted to fill some newcomers to take up other positions on the ship, and learn from MS Piloting in their free time.
There are a total of five virtual training rooms in this ship, which are obviously deliberately created. Normal pilots can train in a battleship using a training machine. Pilots who have their own aircraft can even simulate driving in their own aircraft. Isn't the purpose of specially configuring the training room already obvious?
"Well, let Orb's people come over within a week." Xiao Ran nodded and said, "I gave those little guys a week's rest, and then I will use another week to familiarize them with the aircraft, the battleship, your people and Orb The people of also need to be thoroughly familiar with this battleship within these two weeks. In addition, they must be equipped with separate uniforms. Whether it is the Orb uniform or the ZAFT uniform, I will send you the style. The new uniform must be configured before we set off."
Siegel said quickly from the side, "These are small problems. Thousands of uniforms can be solved in one day."
Lacus kept smiling as he watched the three of them finished speaking, and finally tilted his head and looked at Xiao Ran: "Are you going to take them for the first actual training in half a month?"
"It's just a simple training. It's appropriate to take advantage of the current situation where there are many unknown aircraft on the earth." Xiao Ran nodded, and Lacus asked, "I'm also curious about what their first actual combat training will be like. Can I join you?"
Xiao Ran smiled, "Of course, but with this battleship, the original plan may have to be changed slightly."
One week later, the battleship named Apocalypse has begun formal internal operations and testing. After being notified, Orb secretly sent 400 people to PLANT in just three days, including fifty middle and low-level Technicianss from Akatsuki Works. has the ability and qualifications to serve as a maintenance team. In fact, when Orb was sent to prepare those machines, many people from the maintenance team were sent over. Now that another group of people are sent, it really does not affect the limit of normal operation of Akatsuki Works.
Most of the remaining people are normal operations, control, marine soldiers, pilot trainees, etc. in various positions. The most miserable ones are probably the pilot trainees. Not only do they have to undergo MS training, but they also have to perform different jobs at other times. In short, these people are sent here after consultation between ZAFT and Orb. Together with the manpower provided by PLANT, they can be regarded as supplementing the normal manpower configuration required by the Apocalypse.
The situation of the Apocalypse seems to be that PLANT and Orb are helping Xiao Ran, and Xiao Ran has indeed accepted this favor, but in fact they are not helping themselves. Xiao Ran needs to layout and cultivate themselves The talents needed are to have a combat team that can at least be mastered by himself. Now Apocalypse has met his needs, and PLANT and Orb have also gotten what they want, technology, friendship and skilled combatants. To a certain extent, it can be regarded as mutual benefit.
Moreover, PLANT was very sensible and did not say a word about the job arrangement of the bridge personnel. The decision was entirely based on Xiao Ran's preference. However, in the end, Xiao Ran still gave the Apocalypse an additional adjutant. The first mate is Colonel Togodaka from Orb, who is usually in charge. The second officer is a ZAFT person who is responsible for the overall command of the bridge. He is more responsible for logistics and auxiliary work. His name is Li Yougui. When Xiao Ran saw this girl, he realized that this guy was actually the guy who killed Patrick in the normal plot, but now he has come to his side.
Originally, the relationship between SEED World, Orb and PLANT was not hostile, but at least it was indifferent. However, now that Xiao Ran has appeared in this world, although Orb and PLANT still look the same on the surface, they have established a good relationship secretly. These are all changes brought about by Xiao Ran.
All the preparatory students rested for a week. Those who came from Orb were led by the instructor team to the location of the Apocalypse early in the morning. Athrun and the others were also picked up by special personnel and sent over secretly. When these people saw the huge Apocalypse, they were all shocked.
Under the guidance of a dedicated person, he put on a new uniform that he had never seen before. The Unity Army standard uniform, all with Xiao Ran's favorite black as the main color, was taken to the huge garb in the center of the main ship. Although it kept rotating, it was not felt at all. The first thing he saw in the garb was the dark figures wearing black uniforms, all scattered neatly in different directions on the inner wall.
