Chapter 211 Gift
As soon as Li Chenglong and his three companions entered, they saw Zhao Liying and new member Lü Xin learning interstellar language from Lilith. Zhao Liying was about to greet Li Chenglong when she noticed the two little ones beside her and exclaimed in surprise, "These two...they don't seem to be from Earth."
Before Li Chenglong could speak, Lilith began, "The Hailan Star people are second-level intelligent life forms who live on Hailan Star, which is smaller than Earth. They have a custom of freezing and cultivating children for decades to hundreds of years after birth before allowing them to develop..." After the explanation from the central computer's artificial intelligence, Zhao Liying and Lü Xin understood most of it.
Li Chenglong introduced the two sides to each other, then asked El and Tris to sit down first, and took out some psionic fruits from his psionic space to treat them. However, the siblings walked up to Lilith, stretched out their hands, and immediately released green energy from their hands, which entered the main control computer.
Three minutes later, Li Chenglong was surprised to find that Lilith had changed drastically. What was once a 3D image now seemed to have a physical form, and the main control computer's menu interface was completely redesigned, appearing much more technologically advanced. El smiled and said, "What we just released was the first thing Grandma asked us to bring—an upgraded version of the Meral Asteratron Computer, developed by my grandma and dad many years ago. It can enhance your Dawn City's central computer, making its functions even more powerful."
As she spoke, Triss took out three pendants from her pocket: "Brother Li, this is also what Grandma asked me to give you. These are space pendants made with the highest space technology on our Hailan Star. They are similar to ordinary storage spaces, but larger and more stable. Ordinary space props may malfunction due to instability, causing them to disappear into the dimensional space along with their contents. This perfectly solves that problem. Each pendant has a base area of one square kilometer and a height of 50 meters."
"Is it that big?" Yunlan was shocked, because even after she reached level 9, her spiritual energy space was only 0.4 square kilometers in size, while the bottom area of this space pendant was actually 1 square kilometer.
Triss gave the three pendants to Li Chenglong and taught him how to use them. To prevent the contents from being easily leaked, the pendants were triple-encrypted, making them impossible to open unless it was a designated user. However, for added security, a highest-level access privilege was also set, which allowed anyone with that privilege to use them freely.
Having finished those two tasks, Triss smiled and said, "Alright, our mission is complete, brother and sister. We can have some fun now, yay!" They then picked up the fruit on the table and began to eat casually. As they ate, El seemed to remember something: "Oh, right, Brother Li, on the way here we encountered a few small spaceships belonging to the Dane aliens, but no one was inside, so we put them in our storage space. Do you want them? If not, I'll throw them away; they take up too much space."
Li Chenglong hurriedly said, "Yes, of course we want it, but since they've all abandoned it, can the warship still be used? We don't know how to repair it." Tris nodded, "That's true. Then let's just throw it away. We brought it here thinking it might be of some use to you, but it turns out to be just a huge piece of junk. I'll throw it out in a bit."
Zhao Liying hurriedly said, "Captain Li, let's not throw them away. Let our air force study them first. Even if they're broken, we can definitely get some information about the Dane alien warships from them." Li Chenglong thought about it and agreed, saying, "Let's keep them. Anyway, Dawn City is quite large now; it's easy to house a few small spaceships." Triss finished a Flame Fruit in two bites: "Alright, then have this lady take us to your air force. I happen to have some manuals to give them. With this manual, you'll be able to master the interstellar warship my grandmother gave you."
Li Chenglong chatted with them for a while, then left because he had a meeting scheduled at the military headquarters that day. Yun Lan, Zhao Liying, and the others, however, chatted with El and Triss for a long time like curious children. During this time, Zhao Liying took the two of them to the Dawn City Air Force by plane. El conjured an energy ball larger than a person in his right hand, and after Zhao Liying stepped inside, the energy ball could fly with them, which was very convenient.
Upon arriving at the newly built air force base, Zhao Liying first contacted the Liu sisters, Fang and Li, who had been transferred there, through the gate guards. She then contacted the newly appointed Regiment Commander Yuan Ang and Political Commissar Zou Yang of the Shuguang City Air Force. This was due to the Shuguang City Air Force's security requirements, and Li Chenglong had mandated that anyone not affiliated with the air force base must first contact the base's security forces and obtain approval from the highest-ranking air force officer before entering.
After explaining their purpose, Yuan Ang and Zou Yang were very excited and said with a smile, "The soldiers in the Air Force are very enthusiastic about learning right now. You don't even need to mention a broken spaceship; even a spare part will be a favorite among many soldiers." As they spoke, the two led El, Triss, and Zhao Liying on a tour. They saw many soldiers learning interstellar language through artificial intelligence robots, some studying spaceship knowledge in classrooms, some studying spaceship manuals together, and many more conducting simulated operation training on the β and γ type spaceships.
The two little ones looked at them for a while and said happily, "They're pretty good. Now we can entrust them to you with peace of mind." As she spoke, Triss took out five space fighters, each 40 meters long and 6 meters high, from her storage space. Many soldiers studying in the classroom heard the commotion outside and looked out. They saw five large fighters they had never seen before parked on their airfield.
El handed several thick manuals to the utterly shocked Regiment Commander Yuan Ang and Political Commissar Zou Yang: "We've entrusted the space fighters to you. Now it's up to you to see how well you can achieve. As for spare parts, you can contact City Lord Li; he has a large quantity of spare parts."
After finishing their task, the two walked easily towards the gate, spreading their wings and playing in the air. Yuan Ang looked at Zhao Liying in shock, and Zhao Liying shrugged: "These two are our alien friends, so, so you should focus on your training." After saying that, she also left in a flash. Zou Yang looked at the several thick manuals in Yuan Ang's arms: "I suggest we immediately organize the soldiers to start studying. We should split up now, with the β squad specializing in the β-type warship, the γ squad specializing in the γ-type warship, and the rest focusing on studying the newly arrived space fighters." Yuan Ang nodded: "Yes, that will make learning more efficient. Let's start implementing it immediately." As he spoke, the two immediately asked the guards to gather the men, as they were about to assign tasks.
The β-type spaceships were the three combat ships that Erica's sister Cecily gave to Li Chenglong before she left, while the γ-type ships were captured from the Kiel aliens, of which only two remain. Besides these, there are also a dozen or so armed helicopters and two J-20 fighter jets. Fortunately, only the helicopters and J-20s require fuel; the other ships require the abilities of the superhumans and crystals to operate, otherwise Li Chenglong simply couldn't afford to maintain them, and Dawn City's fuel reserves are currently quite low.
Besides these spaceships, there is also the interstellar warship that Lena gave to Li Chenglong. This warship does not belong to the Dawn City Air Force, but to Li Chenglong personally. Currently, whenever they have time, Yunlan and Zhao Liying and the others study the warship and can already take off and land skillfully and perform simple flights.
When Zhao Liying returned, she learned that there were actually no spaceships from the Dane aliens, only five space fighters that Grandma Lena had given them. However, Grandma had said beforehand that if Li Chenglong's air force did not make any progress for the time being, they would not have to give them the fighters. After their observation today, they found that the air force base in Dawn City was doing quite well, so they took out the fighters.
