After the simulated battle is over, return to Luna 2's spaceship.
Wang Ping'an was playing cards with Angeli, Zhai Dengshan and Prabas when he suddenly heard someone in the group next to him say in a strange voice: "You don't even know, this Diao Youming belongs to the former Principal Wan of the Space Flight Academy.
He was a protégé and later transferred to the psychology department."
Wang Ping'an and others turned to look in that direction. Only Prabas looked confused: "Who is Principal Wan?"
Zhai Dengshan: "The principal of our Space Flight Academy in that era, and he personally served as the instructor of the detachment that caused harm to them."
"Yes, he is the tutor of our class." Wang Ping'an replied. Because before going to college, he taught in classes, so many people called the detachment class in private.
Another voice came from the other side: "No wonder that guy has violated disciplines so many times and hasn't been kicked out yet. Now he is under special care."
"Yes, when you get to the asteroid belt, you will be gilded, and you will participate in a few non-dangerous missions to gain military exploits. When you come back, you might as well go directly to the Torch Fleet."
Angele looked sideways at Wang Ping'an: "You are very calm. I thought you would be unable to hold back and take action at this time. I see in your resume that you have had "frictions with brother troops" several times."
Wang Ping'an shook his head: "According to my previous habit, I must have made it clear to them in the past, but it is different now. I don't want to be kicked off because of a fight."
"You're right," Zhai Dengshan agreed, "Such an obvious gossip must have been deliberately made for us to hear. Maybe it was just to lure you over and make you move here."
Zhai Shanshan's partner said: "It seems to be Fu Zhilong's group. They may be wiped out, and now they are trying to drag Senior Wang down."
Wang Ping'an continued to play his cards calmly: "Ignore them and continue playing our game."
Angele: "You are so self-controlled, you don't look like a manic person."
"My mania only appears when others touch my bottom line. Do you think I am someone who will get angry after saying such black shit?"
"I just found out today that you are not." Angeli smiled and patted Wang Ping'an on the shoulder, "That's right, I have slightly improved my judgment on your inner age."
"Thank you very much." Wang Ping'an shrugged.
At this time, Abdul, who was standing next to him, came over and said, "Actually, we all now know that you are a Diao person, but your personality is a bit bad."
Zhai Dengshan: "The word "diao man" is good. On the one hand, it can describe his diao, and on the other hand, it can describe his bad personality, pun intended, so there is no need to say the 'bad character' after you."
Abdul deliberately said in an accent that was very good at selling mutton kebabs: "Oh, can Chinese be like this? It's really amazing."
Wang Ping'an: "The mutton skewers in Wulumuqi are very delicious~ Would you like some?"
Zhai Dengshan: "Have you finished reading all the ancient sketches?"
"It's a long road, and there's nothing I can do about it."
Prabhas: "Speaking of which, does someone have to be the commander of the cruiser tomorrow? How will this commander be selected?"
Wang Pingan shrugged: "Don't ask me, I don't know."
"Perhaps everyone will vote?" Zhai Shanshan said, "After so many days of training, we should theoretically have a 'King of Soldiers' recognized by everyone. Let's let two recognized kings of soldiers compete on the same stage tomorrow?"
"That makes sense. But what about the military rank?" Wang Ping'an looked at Zhai Shanshan seriously, "Are you willing to accept the command of a lieutenant?"
"Damn it, why don't you just silently assume that you are the King of Soldiers? You only have four points, and there are a few here who have five points!"
Wang Ping'an was shocked - or pretended to be shocked: "You actually don't recognize me? This surprises me so much!"
Angele shook her head repeatedly: "I can't tell whether he is narcissistic or something else. I feel that you are somewhat seriously ill."
"And you are my antidote."
"Stop teasing me with this!"
"You can't blame me. You made such a solemn declaration in front of my parents, the girl who came to me on a blind date, and her mother as soon as we met. No wonder I always use this to bury you."
Angeli sighed: "Okay, blame me."
Wang Ping'an did not continue to tease him, but changed the topic to the original direction: "Maybe tomorrow, Diao Youming will come up with some new tricks. Look at how much work he has done in the past few days."
"Tomorrow is a showdown between cruisers. He can't do much, right?" Zhai Shanshan said.

"Today, everyone's combat position will be selected randomly." Diao Youming told 200 candidates on the podium in the briefing room of the Battleship Simulation Training Center.
Wang Pingan and others exchanged glances.
Diao Youming continued: "You may be shocked, but even if I don't explain, you should be able to realize the purpose of this arrangement. After so many days, everyone has made their own judgments about the level of the supplementary team, and you probably all know
Who is more suitable for which position?
"However, Space Force astronauts must be generalists, commanders must also be familiar with damage control operations, and damage control team leaders must also know how to command warship operations. This is the high requirement of the Space Force, and this high requirement has helped us save the day from danger many times.
Already.
"Next, let's start... Wang Ping'an, what's your problem?"
Diao Youming seemed to have become accustomed to Wang Ping'an's questions, and there was no anger in his tone.
Wang Ping'an: "The lottery means that the partners will be separated?"
"Yes, everyone has to work with unfamiliar people. Does anyone else have questions?"
This time no one asked questions.
"Okay, let's start the random drawing."
**
The battleship simulation center is different from the previous training center that conducted simulated battleship battles.
The Battleship Simulation Center actually has a simulation device that replicates the internal structure of the Torch Cruiser 1:1. One device can accommodate a hundred people, which is exactly the number of people required for a Torch Cruiser.
Two such simulation devices can simulate the battle of wits and courage between two cruisers. The remaining systems are similar to the simulation of combat boats.
Wang Ping'an was in the damage control team, wearing a bulky power armor specially designed for the damage control team, helping Angeli with the last step of getting dressed.
"Get dressed, Damage Control Captain." He said reluctantly.
"Thank you, member of the Wang Hao team." Angeli said, her voice full of novelty, "Usually you are the one who tells me what to do, now it's my turn!"
Wang Ping'an sighed: "Hey, my luck... Damage control is very boring. You can't even see the battle situation outside. You can only stay in the cabin to perform your tasks. Moreover, the engineering department and damage control department have the highest loss rate on the battleship."
The second-highest department.”
The top department is of course the carrier-based combat craft department.
A new-faced lieutenant who was drawn into a group next to him complained: "You still think you are unlucky in the draw, and you are complaining when you are with your partner! Please worry about those of us who are far apart from our closest comrades. My partner even
I was drawn into Group B, and now my roommates are at war."
Wang Ping'an: "Actually, I don't understand. Now that the partners are separated like this, what if one partner is eliminated and the other is selected after the scoring?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the bell rang for the start of the exercise.
The next moment, the entire space was filled with the sound of engines running, sounding just like inside a real battleship.
Wang Pingan quickly closed his helmet visor.
The voice of the Commander who was also drawn by lot came from the earphones: "Well, I, I am your Commander An Doudou, I... this is my first time doing this, don't be surprised. Let's start the drill now, please put on your helmet.
, will begin to evacuate the air inside the ship in one minute."
Just like when driving a combat boat, in order to avoid secondary damage after the air tightness of the battleship is destroyed, the spacecraft is close to a vacuum during the battle, and everyone must rely on space suits to survive.
Within a minute, the life support system began to remove air from the entire damage control station.
Wang Ping'an followed the instructions and fixed himself to the bulkhead, waiting for the battle to begin.
He waited like this for several minutes.
Angele couldn't hold back at first and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"
"Ah, haven't you ever conducted a simulated battle at the cruiser level?"
Angele shook her head: "I have only conducted damage control drills and so on."
"It seems that the French space flight school is not very good." After expressing his disdain for the French school, Wang Ping'an explained, "The beginning of a cruiser battle is usually the enemy hunting stage. At this time, the damage control is mainly responsible for floating in the cabin.
"
Suddenly, the cruiser began to accelerate, and the acceleration of 4 g hit everyone against the bulkhead.
But the violent acceleration quickly stopped, and then the attitude control engine caused the hull to rotate.
Wang Pingan explained: "This is when the cruiser confirms the other party and starts irradiating the laser. In order to avoid being continuously irradiated to one point, the cruiser will slowly roll like this."
Angele: "When will we have work to do?"
"Don't worry, we should probably have work after the overall temperature of the hull rises to a certain limit. Specifically, after the hull can fry eggs, we will have work."
Angele suddenly said: "What kind of work? Cooking an omelette dinner?"
Wang Ping'an was happy: "Oh, what I said just now is in my style!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the alarm rang, along with the computer's notification: "There is a fire on the fifth deck!"
