Chapter 729 Looking for a job
The feeling of flying in the void is completely different from flying in the atmosphere. The shuttle has the ability to fly in the atmosphere and in the void. This thing was originally designed to facilitate the delivery of cargo to large ships that are not suitable for close to the planet.
That's why it's called a shuttle.
Although the operation became very sluggish, it was also a quite novel experience. Li Chengqi gently pushed the accelerator and kept looking left and right.
"Keep flying forward. Do you see the farm in front of you? Land in the open space next to the farm house. I have something to talk to the owner of here."
Although the shuttle looks a bit like a fixed-wing aircraft, its flight does not rely entirely on aerodynamics. It has a hovering function like a helicopter.
Li Chengqi slowly moved the joystick, which was completely different from the wild operation when fighting pirates. It could even be said that the next wave of pirates would not be as difficult as landing safely.
It's easy to go up to the sky, just hit the throttle and pull the nose of the aircraft. Landing smoothly is the most difficult, especially when landing in the atmosphere, gravity will be a very troublesome enemy.
The engine light of the Manta Ray gradually decreased, and it swayed slightly above the flat ground, and then slowly fell. As the landing gear unfolded, it landed smoothly on the ground.
Li Chengqi turned off the engine and breathed a sigh of relief.
I put my experience of playing AV8B in a flight simulation game to use, and finally there is no shame.
At this time, a woman ran out of the farmer's house. She must have heard the noise and came out to check.
Alyssa opened the cabin door and said to Li Chengqi:
"Wait for me, especially don't run around, otherwise the Planetary Defense Force will treat you as a suspicious target."
"I know, let's go."
Since she had a history of running away, Alyssa was not at ease and gave some more instructions.
It was really fun to operate the shuttle and play the air combat simulation. The only downside was that I couldn't see what Alyssa was doing.
Thinking about it this way, I really have the urge to pass the time by walking around the Alan Star Chain.
——So Alyssa’s instructions are very prescient.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Alyssa ran towards the farmer’s house, took off her helmet and waved:
"Fenghua, it's me."
"Alyssa?"
The originally nervous woman immediately relaxed when she saw Alyssa.
She looks like a medieval rural woman, but living in an era where starships are flying all over the sky, wearing this kind of clothes has a sense of anachronism.
"Long time no see. The last time was when you came to my wedding."
"It's not that long, it's only two years..."
"How many two years are there in a person's life? Come in quickly."
Fenghua enthusiastically invited Alyssa in, and the two walked into the living room. Fenghua quietly put down a pistol that he had just hidden, and brought tea and snacks.
"Where has Brother Fang gone?"
"I'm working in the fields. I should be back soon. You can stay here tonight and we'll have a meal together."
As she spoke, Fenghua picked up a sleeping baby from the stroller under the living room window.
"Look, this is my daughter"
"He looks really like Brother Fang."
"Nonsense, how can I look like him? He is obviously like me."
Fenghua was originally a navigator who worked under Grandpa Alyssa. Later, she fell in love with Brother Fang, the mechanic on the ship, so she left the ship to live a small life, and she was considered a retired employee.
Alyssa came when Fenghua got married two years ago, and this time...
I can't quite open my mouth.
"You came here suddenly, you definitely didn't want to reminisce about old times, right? Where is Long?"
"Here it is." Alyssa patted the box on her waist and put Long's crystal ball head inside.
"It's true as you said, it's not just to reminisce about old times."
When the conversation came to this point, Alyssa bit the bullet and told Fenghua the whole story.
"Carlos rebelled? He is an old man who followed your grandfather to conquer the world. How could he..."
"I didn't want to believe it until he put the knife to my neck."
"What are you going to do?"
"Of course I want to recapture the starship, but I need manpower now..."
He looked at Fenghua who was holding the child:
"I didn't expect that you already have a child. Forget it, just think of me as reminiscing about old times."
Alyssa came to Alan Starlink, thinking that she could find a navigator and a mechanic, but it turned out that they had children, so she couldn't take the risk with her carrying a baby on her back.
This is too beastly.
"I want to help you, but we really can't get away."
Fenghua thought for a while and suddenly thought of something: "I don't have a better candidate for the navigator, but as a mechanic, I do have someone I can recommend."
"Who?"
Just as Fenghua was about to open her mouth, she heard an excited voice coming from the door:
"Sister Fenghua! Have you seen it? There is a shuttle outside, a model I have never seen before!"
Then I heard the sound of footsteps, and a figure walked in directly.
This is a woman who is estimated to be in her twenties, with a pair of gray cat ears on her gray hair, and a similarly gray tail swinging back and forth behind her butt.
Unlike Alyssa, who lived on a starship all year round and lacked natural light, so her skin looked pale, this person's skin was a healthy wheat color, and her ear-length short hair made people think she was a boy at first glance. But as soon as you see her good figure under that greasy jacket, you will immediately change your mind, especially the shorts that wrap around her plump buttocks and fleshy thighs, which has a wild charm.
She must be very happy, her fangs were exposed when she smiled, and she blushed when she noticed there were other people in the room.
"Sister Fenghua, it turns out you have a guest, then I'll wait..."
"Don't leave yet."
Fenghua introduced Alyssa: "This is the mechanic I want to introduce to you. Her name is Fang Lanyin. She is the youngest sister of your elder brother Fang."
Fang Lanyin is a half-orc, one of the human subspecies. To put it bluntly, he is a human with the characteristics of a beast, which is different from Furui, a lycanthrope.
Compared with ordinary humans, orcs generally have some special advantages. For example, orcs with rabbit characteristics can run faster, orcs with falcon characteristics can glide short distances, etc.
"This is Alyssa, the captain of the starship I worked on before. Haven't you always wanted to be a mechanic? She can help you."
"real?"
When Fang Lanyin heard this, she immediately rushed up and held Alyssa's hand:
"There is absolutely no problem with my skills. You can give me a salary based on my work ability. I will never let you down."
"Wait, wait!"
Alyssa couldn't stand Fang Lanyin's enthusiasm and said quickly:
"It's not that I don't trust Fenghua's vision, but can she really do it?"
"Lanyin has always wanted to be a mechanic, but you also know that getting a license is not that easy."
It's natural to understand when you think about the bank's work efficiency, which is comparable to that of the Imperial Ministry of the Interior.
Most of the mechanics who work on the recycler's ship do not have a license. It should be said that if they have a license, there will be a lot of competition for whoever gets on the recycler's ship.
"It's not a question of ability, it's very dangerous."
"Lanyin doesn't want to stay in the Alan Star Territory for the rest of her life, and I believe Alyssa that you will protect the safety of your subordinates."
"..."
I don’t know where Fenghua got the confidence. Alyssa can’t even protect herself now.
