TK043 Space Fortress and Jiangyuan high-speed destroyer docked steadily at the airport berth.
On its right side, the Jiangyang of the same type had opened its landing hatch.
Behind the two destroyers, there was also a scarred light frigate, the Gray Fish.
This battleship, which originally belonged to the Star Pirates, was the spoils of the emergency rescue mission of the two ships Jiangyuan and Jiangyang!
Although for the huge Holy Light Empire or even the Seventh Fast Anti-Fleet, such a decommissioned frigate with an outdated model has no use value, and it will cost money to send it for dismantling.
But the significance of seizing it is that by analyzing the equipment and data on this star thief warship, we can follow the clues to catch big fish, or we can find out the parties involved in this star thief.
But Wang Chen, who returned to the base with his comrades, clearly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the base.
It's like something big happened just now.
But it turned out that Wang Chen had no illusions, and he got the news in the evening.
It turned out that in addition to the two ships Jiangyuan and Jiangyang, the Seventh Fast Anti-Fleet Fleet also sent more warships to put out the fire, because many routes under the jurisdiction of TK043 were attacked by star pirates, and many merchant ships were hijacked.
In other words, the same situation happened multiple times at about the same time!
The Seventh Fast Anti-Fleet had to divert most of its forces to leave the port, causing the interior of the TK043 battle fortress to become empty.
As a result, a large-scale explosion occurred in the interstellar prison of the TK043 Battle Fortress. A group of serious criminals escaped from the prison, and a large number of guard casualties occurred!
At this point, anyone could see that the seventh anti-ship fleet had fallen into the enemy's plan to divert the enemy away from the mountain.
As for the identities and origins of these serious criminals, Wang Chen's authority level is not high, so his knowledge is very limited.
Just know that these prisoners are important.
And their escape was undoubtedly a heavy slap in the face of the seventh anti-ship fleet.
It is said that the top brass of the fleet were furious and had dispatched forces to hunt down the escaped prisoners.
It's just that the sea of stars is vast, and it is obviously not an easy task to catch people back.
It is estimated that the Imperial Army will also hold him accountable.
All in all, it was a mess.
But these things have nothing to do with Wang Chen. Regardless of the disturbances from the outside world, without receiving new tasks, he stayed in the base to train and study, and his life was very regular.
A week later, Wang Chen received his own award.
Since the establishment of the Holy Light Empire, it has always attached great importance to military merit, so within the system of the Imperial Army, status can be improved very quickly, even like riding a rocket.
The prerequisite is that you have enough military exploits to match the reward.
In the operation to rescue the Changtai, Wang Chen had two major contributions.
First, he boarded the Gray Fish, captured the Star Thief battleship, and killed a large number of enemies.
In fact, he infiltrated the Changtai merchant ship, turned the tide at a critical moment, and ensured the successful completion of the rescue operation.
His military exploits rank first among all his colleagues!
Therefore, in view of Wang Chen's achievements, the Imperial Military Department made an exceptional promotion to him after verification.
Wang Chen's military rank was directly promoted from sergeant to captain, which is equivalent to taking a big step!
Upgrade three levels in a row.
Although such a promotion is far from unprecedented, let alone unprecedented, it is still an extremely dazzling honor.
Not only that, Wang Chen also received an Iron Dragon badge.
This badge represents another identity.
Imperial Dragoon!
This is the honor that belongs to the pilot.
Wang Chen's original identity was a ranger in the Black Flag team, a free-spirited hunter.
Now go one step further.
The Imperial Dragoons are the elite among the elite pilots, and their position in the fleet is very special and extremely important.
The tasks of dragoons on the battlefield include but are not limited to sniping enemy leaders and elite pilots, boarding ships to capture flags and charging into battle, and protecting one's own commanders and warships, etc.
Wang Chen, who has become a dragoon, is no longer affiliated with the Black Flag Squadron, but directly under the General Staff of the 7th Fast Anti-Flag Fleet!
Although he will still have to fight with the fleet in the future, he will have a high degree of freedom and autonomy in the execution of tasks, and can even ask battleships and mecha squads to cooperate with his actions.
The right to speak is as high as that of the captain of a small or medium-sized battleship!
In addition, Wang Chen's salary and benefits have also been significantly increased.
Of course, all power and interests require his own life to fight for them.
In the base camp of the 7th Fast Anti-Fleet, representatives from the Imperial Military and fleet commanders held a simple yet grand promotion and reward ceremony for Wang Chen.
"Well done!"
The representative of the Imperial Military Department was a major general with gray hair on his temples. He personally hung the Iron Dragon badge on Wang Chen, then patted Wang Chen on the shoulder and said: "Young man, your name has appeared on His Majesty's Imperial Examination.
Up."
The gazes cast by the people around Wang Chen instantly became extremely hot.
Although he was promoted from sergeant to captain by helicopter, it was not an exaggeration.
The transformation of a Ranger into a Dragoon is nothing more than a change of identity. He is still a pilot fighting on the front line.
But the appearance of Wang Chen's name on the emperor's imperial records means that he has entered the attention of the highest level of the empire - his rise to fame is just around the corner!
You must know that Wang Chen is a citizen of the empire. According to the current momentum, if he makes some commendable contributions, the knighthood will be a certainty.
Stepping into the ranks of nobility from a citizen is called changing your destiny!
"I am willing to die for Your Majesty!"
Wang Chen's answer is definitely the most standardized template, the kind that is impeccable.
"very good."
The Major General of the Military Department chuckled and said, "Captain Wang Chen, there is another task that requires your cooperation."
After the promotion ceremony, the representative of the Imperial Military took Wang Chen to a conference room in the base and introduced him to several men and women with special temperaments.
"This is Professor Chen, this is Researcher Li..."
There were a total of five people on the other side, and three of them actually wore glasses for myopia - you must know that myopia correction surgery had been perfected hundreds of years ago.
Their identities are equally special, they are from Holy Light Research Institute!
The Holy Light Research Institute can bear the name of the Empire, and there is no doubt about its high level. In fact, among its original founders, there was the founder of the Empire, so its importance can be imagined.
But unlike the Empire's Supreme Academy of Sciences, the Holy Light Research Institute has always had a low reputation among the people. It has never recruited personnel from outside, and it has never appeared in any scientific awards.
So it's very mysterious.
However, Wang Chen knows that since the establishment of the Holy Light Empire, the Holy Light Research Institute has made great contributions to the empire's expansion into the boundless sea of stars. Countless scientific and technological achievements from researchers have also profoundly changed the entire human society.
It’s just that it has always been hidden behind the scenes, silently promoting the development of the world!
