Sorry, My Interstellar Fleet Only Recruits Women

Week 3

Captain Li Hua stared at the interstellar sand table in front of him. The circle drawn on the sand table at this moment was from when they first arrived here.

The area has been shrunk by half.

"You're still here?"

It's time for you to rest now.

"This is the rotation system you created yourself, you can't break it." The wealthy female secretary walked over from the side.

As you can see, only one-third of the people on the bridge are at their posts.

This is a rotation system that Captain Li Hua prepared based on some tutorials provided by the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

The starship is staffed in three groups of three hundred people each, which is sufficient to ensure its normal operation, even if it is not operating at high efficiency.

The remaining two groups will take turns resting.

They will have eight hours to sleep, but in reality they have sixteen hours.

However, there are regulations stipulating that crew members must have at least eight hours of rest during necessary non-combat periods.

If you haven't been getting eight hours of sleep for an extended period, you should consult the ship's psychologist.

It is clearly stated in the teaching materials provided by the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

The morale of the crew is very important.

Especially in the vast environment of interstellar space, coupled with the enclosed environment inside a starship cabin.

Without sufficient rest, coupled with this kind of environment, some unpleasant situations are very likely to occur.

Therefore, Li Hua formulated this mandatory requirement.

The extra eight hours are for the crew's personal time.

During these eight hours, the time will be used for two meals a day, washing up once, and some daily physical exercise.

On this starship, regardless of your position, you need to complete a certain amount of training every day.

Even office workers have a minimum standard of physical activity.

Exercise is also the best way to keep soldiers in good physical condition.

There are also dedicated exercise cabins inside this starship, which offer more than ten sports in addition to basic strength training and aerobic training, including swimming, soccer, and basketball.

This is all to ensure the crew is in good condition.

To be honest, this kind of living standard is...

Among the many mercenary starships, they are among the best.

When it was launched, some people questioned it.

However, Captain Li Hua was very determined, believing that these were essential to ensuring the crew's combat effectiveness and high morale.

With this arrangement, even on days when they were on missions, their lives were still very fulfilling.

"Now is my personal time."

"There's no rule saying I can't be on the bridge during my personal time," Captain Li Hua said without looking up.

The wealthy female secretary rolled her eyes.

She began to review her work since she started the job.

She noticed that Captain Li Hua had drawn circles in several places on the interstellar war sandbox.

One of the circles was very close to where their White Dragon was located.

In their future explorations, they will inevitably discover the area within this circle.

"What does this mean?" the wealthy female secretary asked curiously.

"This area was drawn based on my experience and intuition."

If this group of space pirates is still within this star system...

They will definitely try to break through.

I won't stay here and wait to die.

When to break through becomes a very important matter.

If they try to break out too early, they will be surrounded and annihilated by the numerous fleets that are waiting in ambush.

If they break through too late, their room for maneuver will be smaller.

Therefore, the best time to break through is actually in the middle of this period.

The patience of the encircling fleet was gradually eroded.

Some people began to let their guard down, while there was still room for maneuver in the remaining unexplored areas.

I think now is the most opportune time.

"These are the areas where they are most likely to operate in the future," Captain Li Hua said very seriously.

The wealthy female secretary nodded in realization, but she still tapped Captain Li Hua on the head.

"Alright, we all know that you are very smart, Captain."

But you should still go and rest.

Of your class, you're the only one left here.

Look, those crew members felt embarrassed to leave because they saw you weren't resting.

"Don't you need to set an example for everyone?" The wealthy female secretary pointed to the crew members who hadn't gone to rest yet.

Captain Li Hua looked at those people. Although he felt he could still hold on, he considered everyone else's situation.

He tidied himself up and left the bridge.

He went to the Starship Restaurant first.

He ordered a 'dinner' for himself.

In the interstellar environment, although they still use a 24-hour system, their breakfast, lunch and dinner have become somewhat mixed up.

Most people eat dinner based on when they "get off work".

Breakfast is whatever time you wake up.

As for lunch, some people will eat, while others may skip it altogether.

It depends on each person's eating habits, since the Starship Restaurant is open 24 hours a day anyway.

Looking at the brand new recipe.

There are now many more food options to suit everyone's tastes.

This recipe was chosen by everyone.

The person in charge of the menu conducted a final survey of all the ship's crew members.

Each person can submit five of their favorite foods.

Then, considering all these factors, choose the appropriate food. The biggest priority is naturally the food that appears most frequently.

Then we need to consider other nutrients, whether they are suitable, and other factors.

It {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} may not be able to cater to every aspect, but it certainly allows everyone to enjoy a lot of good food.

Captain Li Hua is currently eating his favorite dish: a special fried rice.

The meal was very simple, without any extravagance or waste despite being the captain.

In terms of meal standards, Captain Li Hua completely copied the system used by the JF-17 Thunder Fleet.

After all, with such a good example of the JF-17 Thunder Fleet Group, everyone is naturally willing to learn from it.

After finishing his meal, Captain Li Hua did not rush to rest.

Instead, he went to the gym first to vent his emotions.

Running, weightlifting, boxing.

The whole process took an hour.

It feels really good to bathe my tired body in the flowing water.

Sure enough, there are some good things in copying the JF-17 fleet.

Although it may seem tiring, this can greatly improve one's mental state.

Sudden!

The alarm sounded.

Almost every compartment, even the individual quarters, of this T4 Gorgon-class heavy interstellar gunship was flashing with light.

This is a combat warning.

Everyone was required to arrive at their assigned combat position within five minutes.

In fact, everyone on the White Dragon had practiced this situation several times before, and it was all completely unprepared and random training.

The effect is quite good.

Right now, Captain Li Hua turned off the water and dried himself off instantly.

I got dressed in the shortest amount of time.

Then he ran toward the bridge.

As soon as he ran toward the bridge, he contacted the secretary who was on duty there.

"What's going on?"

"Your prophecy has come true!" the wealthy female secretary said solemnly.

She then continued, "In the circle you drew that is closest to us."

A starfleet patrolling the area happened to spot the space pirates attempting to escape and engaged them in battle.

The enemy did not linger in the fight but instead attempted to break through.

The direction of their breakout is exactly in our direction.

We were ordered to intercept the enemy fleet attempting to escape from our position and await reinforcements.

"annihilate these space pirates in one fell swoop!"

After listening to this passage...

Captain Li Hua had already replayed the entire process in his mind.

Captain Li Hua had actually prepared for this kind of thing long ago, and he had rehearsed all sorts of possible contingency plans in his mind countless times.

"I see.

I'm heading back to the bridge.

You just need to follow the orders of Fleet Commander Hou Sanyue.

Then, the weapons department was ordered to conduct a final check of all weapons procedures.

Make sure our heavy artillery doesn't malfunction when the battle begins.

This is our first battle, and I cannot allow any mistakes to happen!

"yes!"

Everyone on the White Dragon was now tense and excited, even those who had been resting.

They were all dressed neatly and arrived at their respective posts.

It took less than five minutes in total.

The White Dragon was put into a state of readiness for combat, having transitioned from patrol and standby status to a state of readiness for battle at any time.

On the hull of this T4 Gorgon-class heavy interstellar gunship, you can see the heavy cannons gradually turning.

They aimed at the direction from which the space pirates might have fled, based on the intelligence.

The thirty starships of the Z03 fleet also assumed battle stance.

Fleet Commander Hou Sanyue was deploying combat missions in the command channel.

Soon after, a piece of intelligence also appeared.

"warn!

A space pirate fleet of nearly fifty interstellar warships is heading towards the Z03 fleet's position and is expected to enter engagement range in ten minutes.

"Z03 Squad, relay the orders from above."

Your current position is crucial; you must hold off these space pirates for thirty minutes.

Thirty minutes from now, our reinforcements—at least 150 starships—will arrive at your position to assist you in annihilating this group of space pirates!

"Z03 squad, understood!"

A tense atmosphere began to spread within the team.

This sentiment was also present on the bridge of the Baijiao.

"Report, all weapon modules have been inspected. I can guarantee with my life that there will be absolutely no problems."

If any problems arise, I... I'll lick every single toilet in the entire White Dragon Ship with my tongue.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to have such a heavy taste."

"Hahaha, after you lick that, I'm too scared to go to the toilet again."

The high-ranking officers of the White Dragon seemed to defuse the pressure by chatting and laughing.

But actually, everyone was just trying to keep their partners from getting nervous.

They themselves were quite tense at that moment.

A girl had already bitten the straw off her drink, and there was no water left in the drink.

The wealthy female secretary's eyes were scanning every data panel, not missing a single number.

The head of the weapons department looked at each heavy artillery piece, barely suppressing his excitement; he felt as if his own heart was pounding right next to his ear.

Some people were so nervous that their palms were sweating profusely.

"Report: Our interstellar reconnaissance aircraft have spotted a fleet of interstellar ships."

Their flight path perfectly matches the escape route of the space pirate fleet described above, confirming that this is indeed the space pirate group we were tasked with rounding up, as reported in the intelligence!

The crew on the bridge reported.

"Five minutes left! Five minutes until we enter our firing range."

Captain Li Hua clenched his fist and said seriously, "Don't be nervous."

We just need to do what we're supposed to do.

Remember, without the fleet commander's orders...

We are not allowed to fire!

Everything is based on orders!

"yes!"

Soon, the starship signals of these space pirates also appeared on their interstellar radar.

More than fifty interstellar warships, exceeding the thirty interstellar warships of their small fleet.

They are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

But they did not let their guard down.

"Starship positions, prepare for defense and intercept enemy attacks as much as possible."

Other main combat interstellar warships are not allowed to fire without my orders.

Remember that our duty here is to hold off the enemy's starships, not to annihilate them.

"Don't be greedy for quick success and act rashly!" Fleet Commander Hou Sanyue's voice rang out in the command channel, reminding them once again.

"White Dragon and Blazing Flame, prepare for battle."

Once you receive my order, immediately prepare for a comprehensive barrage of fire!

The Flame, which Fleet Commander Hou Sanyue mentioned, is actually the interstellar missile ship next door.

As the only two forces in their fleet with strong long-range firepower, their status is naturally unique!

"White Dragon understands!"

"Flame received!"

Captain Li Hua, standing on his bridge, reminded everyone: "Be prepared to deal with any unforeseen circumstances at any time!"

Captain Li Hua's statement was not an indication of distrust towards Hou Sanyue.

Rather, it was because one-fifth of the more than thirty starships in the squadron had never had any combat experience, and the identities of the commanders and combat personnel on board were unknown.

More than half of these interstellar warships were registered within the past year.

Therefore, Captain Li Hua believed that any unexpected event could happen to his "friendly ships".

Therefore, we must be prepared for all possible scenarios.

This isn't about distrust, but rather a precaution!
