"Ah, yes!" Ling Lan frowned when she heard an anxious voice from the other end of the call.
"h.e.l.lo, I'm the JMC in charge of your launch. Sorry to keep you waiting. We are doing the final check. Mecha No. 1's weapons are fully equipped and the engine is normal. You are eligible for launch. The countdown starts now… 3,2,1, launch!"
The JMC hurriedly finished the rest of her work. She was talking to her coworkers just now because, based on past experiences, they thought that there would not be any mecha operators entering the launching port this early. This was why she was not fully prepared. She didn't expect the mecha operators at her launching port to arrive so quickly. He even contacted her personally…
The JMC heaved a sigh of relief after sending Ling Lan away. She felt fortunate that she was not scolded. She wished that this mecha operator would not complain about her work ethics after he came back from the mission.
The JMC learned her lesson and didn't dare to relax anymore. She focused on her work and made sure that the other mecha operators got launched successfully. The other JMCs beside her also stopped talking and waited patiently for their mecha operators to be in position.
They felt lucky that there were not in charge of 250 Mecha Clan.
Why was this so? Because the mecha operators of 250 Mecha Clan entered their launching port more than a minute earlier than the other mecha clans. These JMCs were not normal JMCs. They were very experienced in handling ace mecha masters but even then, they hadn't met any logisticians who were able to work as fast as those from 250 Mecha Clan. Was this mecha clan an elite of the elite clan? The JMCs were not certain about the background of 250 Mecha Clan so they started having other thoughts.
After Ling Lan left the stars.h.i.+p, she didn't choose to enter the atmosphere of the planet. Instead, she waited for her members. Soon, all the 24 ace mecha master of 250 Mecha Clan were in position. Just as Ling Lan wanted to give her order, she received a call on her optical supercomputer in the mecha.
Ling Lan was shocked. Only the members and the people at the headquarters of 250 Mecha Clan knew this internal channel. Who was calling her?
Ling Lan accepted the call curiously. She heard a familiar voice. "New member of 250 Mecha Clan, Ling Yu, wishes to join the team."
"Ling Yu?!" Ling Lan's lips twitched. Why is this person here?
"Yes. I received an order from the division headquarters. I will be temporary joining 250 Mecha Clan for this land clearing mission." The person replied to her seriously. "I believe that Regiment Commander Ling had received the notification too."
Ling Lan gritted her teeth. Yes, she did receive the notification. This notification came so suddenly and it made her furious. Was this a sign of not being trusted? Did they think that she didn't have the capabilities to lead her team on this mission so they sent in someone to help her?
Ling Lan was angry but she still saved the other party's embarra.s.sment. She replied coldly, "Since that is the case, please join the team."
"Yes, regiment commander!" He seemed angry. The new member scratched his head.
The new mecha operator quickly joined the mecha team. Although he was a new member, the current members of the mecha team were either experienced mecha operators or members of Lingtian whom she had worked with for a long time. Hence, they were able to rearrange their formation quickly. The new member joined their team smoothly.
"Let's go!" Ling Lan gave her order. The mecha team formed a triangular formation and entered the atmosphere of the planet with Ling Lan at the lead.
Once they entered the atmosphere, Ling Lan felt a strong gravity pus.h.i.+ng them down. Her optical supercomputer quickly displayed the relevant information of the planet. Ling Lan moved her fingers quickly and entered the new data into the system to calibrate the mecha so it would be able to fall at a slower rate and not get affected by the gravity.
Within one second, all the mechas managed to control their falling speed. Since there was ample time, Ling Lan didn't fully unleash her hand speed. Hence, all the other mecha operators finished their operation around the same time as her.
In the central command room of the Rising Sun fleet, the mecha clans that partic.i.p.ated in this mission were all displayed on the screens around the room. 250 Mecha Clan was on it too.
"Is that our an ace mecha clan? What impressive speed." One of the officers was surprised when he saw the mecha team.
"Yes. The other mecha clans are still at their launching port but they have already finished forming up." The other officers were alerted by this officer and started noticing this mecha team too.
"That is because they have fewer people. How many mechas do they have? 25? Oh, it's 26. Most scouting teams will have at least 50 people so they will definitely be slower." One officer expressed his opinion.
The officer who noticed 250 first was unconvinced. "They do have fewer people but how many mechas of the other clans are ready? 10? 15? No clan has 20 mechas ready yet. How is this not fast?"
The officer that was reb.u.t.ted was speechless. This was the truth. However, he was too prideful to admit he was wrong so he continued, "They have fewer people so the communicating between themselves is obviously easier. It's normal that they are faster."
"Why don't you ask another mecha clan to try it out then?" The officer that supported 250 Mecha Clan refuted. This speed was the overall speed of the entire mecha clan, including the logisticians. If it was so easy to increase one's speed, there would have been more teams out there by now.
"Stop arguing. The mecha team is already entering the atmosphere." Someone reminded the two officers that were arguing. Both of them kept quiet and turned to look at the big screen.
"Haha, that's good. Our 23rd division is the first division to enter the new planet." The officers in the central command center cheered when they noticed this fact.
"Don't be too happy. The ace mecha clan of the 1st division, G.o.d of Hunt, is entering too." Someone spotted signs of other mecha clans.
"The mecha clan from the 2nd division, Whirlwind, and the mecha clan from the 3rd division, G.o.d of War, is entering as well."
As expected of the divisions under the three great marshal. They had a 50 man team but their speed was only slightly slower than a 26 man team. The 23rd division managed to gain an upper hand due to their numbers.
"Oh right, which mecha clan was that? Once this mission ends, we must heavily reward them." Although there were not many people in this mecha team, it was a fact that the 23rd Division was the first division to enter the planet. This was an accomplishment for them.
"Its 250 Mecha Clan!" The officers were shocked when he saw the name of the mecha clan. They knew that the 250 Mecha Clan borrowed their fleet to partic.i.p.ate in the mission but they didn't pay any attention to them. They thought that the higher authorities wanted to give them an opening gambit or a warning. Unexpectedly, the 'useless' 250 Mecha Clan was a fast and highly-skilled mecha clan. Are they dreaming?
Everyone looked at the mecha team that landed safely on the surface of the planet. They were astounded.
"We were fooled by the division headquarters." A calm voice came from the entrance of the command center.
"Commander-in-chief!" All the officers stood up and greeted him. Qi Aiming walked into the central command center. He looked at the mecha team on the screen with a complicated expression. If they could get this mecha clan, the Rising Sun fleet might become the most powerful fleet in the 23rd division. Unfortunately…
He remembered the smile on his superiors face when he submitted this request. He knew that there was no hope of that happening.
Qi Aiming sighed. If he had requested for 250 Mecha Clan right from the start, he might have a chance. However, now, no fleet would be able to get 250 Mecha Clan anymore. Their general looked as though he had given up on 250 Mecha Clan but in actual fact, he had high hopes for this mecha clan. It was too late to benefit from this mecha clan.
At this moment, Ling Lan and her team had already reached the lower layer of the atmosphere of the planet.
The environment on the planet was bad. The optical supercomputer tested the temperature on the planet. It was higher than 40 degrees celsius. There was no oxygen in the air too. If she didn't see the reddish spots which looked like plants when she was coming down, she would have suspected if there were any living things on this planet.
Ling Lan carefully controlled her mecha and landed on a yellowish-brown spot which seemed studier. The moment she landed, she felt her mecha sinking into the ground.
This is not good. The ground here was not able to support the weight of a mecha. Ling Lan felt a sense of danger. She used her fastest hand speed and quickly calibrated her mecha.
The mecha stopped sinking down. She raised one of her mecha legs and took a step forward. The mecha didn't sink. The weight of the mecha had reached an acceptable range for her to walk.
"Set your mechas to floating mode. The floating level will be at 53. Set traction to 11 and granular load to 27." Ling Lan quickly shared her mecha setting to her team members.
She was confident that her team members were able to change their settings based on the situation but she didn't want them to lose their focus on their surroundings so she told them her findings.
The other members quickly changed their settings while they were in mid-air. When they landed, no one sunk. This meant that Ling Lan had found the correct settings in an instant.
After they landed safely, they noticed that the red spots they thought were plants were actually the color of the ground. On the other hand, the yellowish-brown spots which they thought was the ground were actually plants.
As expected, their logic couldn't be applied in a new environment.
Ling Lan and her team landed on an empty field. This was a good and a bad thing. It was good because this place was safer compared to a forest or a swamp. However, risk and opportunity came together. They would have less of a chance of finding a natural resource vein on this planet.
"Regiment commander, we are so unlucky. We landed on a flat field." One of the mecha operators said in a depressed tone.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
"Our main goal is to let everyone experience what it's like to go on a mission. It'll be good if we can find some natural resources. If not, it's fine too," Ling Lan replied calmly. She was not after the monetary gains. If she really wanted to equip 250 Mecha Clan, she could use the account that Little Four gave her. There were enough credits in the account to equip 10 mecha clans. It could be said that the only thing Ling Lan didn't lack was credits.
The disappointed members managed to feel better after seeing how calm their regiment commander was.
They used their search device on their mechas to scan the area. Ling Lan noticed that around 10 kilometers away, there was a thermal signal. Since they didn't have any urgent goals, Ling Lan decided to go there.
They quickly ran towards the direction. They wanted to save their energy so they didn't choose to fly.
Along the way, Ling Lan accepted Li Lanfeng's request for a private call. "Rabbit, who is Ling Yu? Is he suspicious?"
"No." Ling Lan replied, "He is from the Ling family." Ling Lan added on.
"Is General Ling Xiao worried about you? Is that why he sent Ling Yu over?" Li Lanfeng asked carefully. He detected a sense of unhappiness in Ling Lan's tone.
Ling Lan's lips twitched. As expected, her team members knew all about it. What a b.a.s.t.a.r.d her father was… he destroyed the reliable and domineering image she worked so hard to build.
"Maybe." Ling Lan squeezed the words out of her mouth. Couldn't her leopard learn to act dumb for once? Luckily, he didn't know Ling Yu's real ident.i.ty. If not, her image would really be destroyed.
d.a.m.n it. Her father really knew how to make things difficult for her!
