Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 803: Ditty in the Escort Mission! (2/3)

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

Perhaps because they sympathized with He Ming's efforts in the previous crisis, neither the domestic nor the base island side had issued any tasks to He Ming who was staying on the Wide Area Serenity, allowing He Ming to carry out daily training and schedule according to his own habits.

Although He Ming flew the Chengying from the deck of the Wide Serenity at a fixed time every day and made several low-altitude passes to the cheers of the deck ground crew, this was already a rare leisure vacation for other pilots on duty.

In view of the attacks suffered by the Base Island and the Pillar of Heaven, both the Pillar of Heaven and the Base Island have more than doubled their previous alert range, and even mobilized more troops to join the alert mission.

In just one week, the Heavenly Pillar and even the defense system of the base island were built into a steel position like an iron barrel.

"Chengying. This is the Wide Serenity. Please reply if you get it!"

Just as He Ming was serving as a sparring partner for the Iron Man Team on the Wide Area Serenity in the southwest airspace of the base island as per the daily plan, a communication from the Wide Area Serenity prompted He Ming to send a signal to suspend training.

"This is Chengying! Please speak!"

Chengying swiftly escaped from the siege of an iron man team, and smoothly transformed from human form to fighter plane form and soared into the sky, making the surrounding iron man pilots look at him with envy.

During this week, since they asked He Ming for sparring partner on a whim, the iron man pilots of the Wide Serenity entered a painful but happy moment.

The painful thing is that He Ming has no mercy at all and kills ruthlessly, usually by killing on sight, or by killing as soon as he appears, leaving the Iron Man pilot no time to react, and the scene where appearing means death.

As these scenes continued to happen, the iron man pilots belonging to the Wide Serenity were not defeated or shattered. Instead, they fought more and more bravely. In the end, it was He Fang who was entangled and scared.

As for the happy scenes, whenever He Ming wiped them out with a grand slam, the Iron Man pilots would always rush into the combat meeting room after returning, describing the situation they encountered at that time one by one, trying to reproduce the battle situation and find their own shortcomings and He Ming's flaws.

As time went by, the growth of the iron man pilots of the Wide Serenity made the fleet commander Liu Hai's mouth slightly upturned every day.

You know, East Asia has now completed preparations for large-scale production of Iron Man and has completed the first batch of equipment replacements.

In the foreseeable future, the East Asian military will implement a replacement plan with Iron Men as the main force, with Iron Generals serving as the backbone elite of the MS forces.

At the same time, on this basis, East Asia seems to have enough capacity to provide various plans for countries joining the Solar Energy Construction Alliance and provide mass-produced iron men suitable for the national conditions of each country.

Therefore, under this premise, being able to take the lead in cultivating iron man pilots who can stand on their own in the alliance system constructed in East Asia will be the key to gaining a foothold in the future.

It is conceivable that when Liu Hai learned that his young men were so stubborn as to find He Ming and ask He Ming to help them with training, he was so happy that he smiled from ear to ear.

"Chengying. There is a temporary mission! Please go to the mission airspace immediately, coordinates 191, 165, to carry out an escort mission!"

"Coordinates 191, 165, escort mission. Confirmed! Begin turning."

After He Ming repeated it, Chengying turned around and accelerated to leave the current airspace, leaving behind a group of reluctant iron man pilots.

The mission airspace is not far from the base island.

It’s just that its location is in the opposite direction of the airspace where He Ming is.

To reach the mission airspace, He Ming must return to the base island from the southwest, then follow the flight route marked by the Wide Area Tranquility, and finally arrive at the mission airspace.

Although it sounds a bit troublesome, at Chengying's speed, it only left a contrail passing over the base island, and then it spotted the target entering the mission airspace from a distance - a large transport plane Albatross from Orb.

Its arrival surprised He Ming. As a large transport aircraft used by Orb, the Albatross, which has the ability to take off and land on the water, is not uncommon on the base island. In addition to large cargo ships, it is an important means for Orb to transport technicians and important equipment to the base island.

Therefore, the Albatross can be seen taking off and landing on the water every day in the military port of the base island.

Such an ordinary flight mission would actually require him to provide escort?
"This is Chengying! Albatross, please reply if you get it."

Just as a trace of doubt arose in his mind, He Ming had already completed the turn in Chengying, entered the airspace from the left side of the Albatross, maintained the same speed as the Albatross, and flew towards the base island together.

"This is Albatross 3. It's great to meet you, brave bird of the sky."

Albatross's reply came over the communication channel.

However, the last title surprised He Ming.

Birds flying in the sky?

"Chengying, received! Please maintain the current flight path! This machine will provide escort according to the scheduled plan! If there is any situation, please contact us on channel 03!"

"Albatross 3, received! Salute to you! Bird of the sky."

That's the title again.

He Ming blinked, as if he thought of something.

"Master, according to the recent hot topics on the Internet, the light and shadow effects displayed by the master when resolving the missile crisis seem to have caused a lot of heated discussions among the residents of the base island."

"Among them, there was a discussion about the name Sky Bird."

The smart AI cube Arduino timely explains why it is called.

"what's the situation?"

After Chengying fell behind slightly and entered the accompanying flying position, He Ming finally had some time to ask questions.

"Who suggested it?"

"It was a name proposed by a social account named Fei Niao during an argument with other Internet users. At the same time, the user uploaded a photo to prove the authority of the name he proposed."

Arduino completed the transcoding instantly and presented the so-called photo on the screen constructed by the BDI system.

When He Ming "looked", he immediately saw a "flying bird" with its wings spread out, soaring in the sky under the aurora.

"Is that why?"

"Yes! According to our inquiry on the user, the online user should be a 14-15-year-old boy named Shin Asuka. Currently, his father is working as a researcher at the development technology center led by Kira Yamato. His mother is at home taking care of Shin Asuka and his siblings."

"What? Shin Asuka?! He got mixed up with Kira Yamato?!"
