Next to him, Kuragin stood on the ladder and looked at He Ming's movements while sitting in the cockpit.

"Very good. Am I the first pilot to sit in the SV52 cockpit?"

He Ming flexed his thumbs and made a small joke, temporarily putting aside the doubts caused by the mysterious voice.

The place where he is now is SDF-1, which is the last battleship of the Earth's United Human Forces, and it is also He Ming's only way to survive in this universe.

Therefore, He Ming didn't want to make a rash decision when the situation was unclear.

certainly.

If circumstances permit, He Ming will confirm his ownership without hesitation.

After all, this is the most cutting-edge transformable fighter!!

"Huh? Probably. However, it depends on the follow-up situation and the arrangements from Captain Grobar."

Kuragin did not finish his sentence.

He Ming had no objection to this.

If he could become a member of the United Army as long as he signed that document and was a pilot of SDF-1, that mysterious voice would have sounded in He Ming's ears.

It hasn't appeared yet, I'm afraid there are other factors that need to be completed later.

"So, now I just need to start the engine?"

"Of course. But the follow-up arrangement will depend on the situation after starting the engine."

Kuragin's answer was also expected.

Engine starts.

System self-test.

He Ming followed Kulagin's instructions and completed each test project step by step.

After some operations, the thermonuclear engine finally entered a stable operating state and successfully entered the optimal operating mode.

He Ming gestured his thumb again to Kuragin, who was standing beside the operating table.

However, this time there is something different.

Kuragin understood.

Then he responded to He Ming with a gesture of temporarily turning off the engine.

He Ming nodded.

Immediately, the roar of the engine gradually subsided until it no longer made a loud noise. Kulakin made a waiting gesture, picked up the communicator next to him, and made a call.

After a few minutes, Kuragin's expression gradually became serious.

"He Ming. The power-on test just now was pretty good. Now, let's enter the flight phase test. Are there any problems?"

"No."

He Ming's answer was very straightforward, making Kuragin nod.

"Then, let's enter the flight test phase now. Someone will pick you up later and cooperate with you in the flight test. I will watch here."

"clear!"

Amidst the roar of the take-off and landing platform, the SV52 carrying He Ming slowly ascended to the take-off channel, leaving only a back figure to greet Roy and Seryev who came in a hurry.

"Professor Kuragin. That boy?"

As old acquaintances who had gone through the Unification War together, Roy and Seryev were no strangers to Kuragin.

On the contrary, sometimes, Kurakin would communicate with elite pilots like them to find inspiration for the design of cutting-edge fighter aircraft.

"out."

Kurakin pointed to the slowly closing ceiling.

The SV52 has followed the trajectory of the take-off and landing platform and entered the take-off channel. It will probably conduct its first flight test under the arrangement of the command center.

"this……"

The news Roy received was that He Ming would cooperate with Kuragin in conducting ground startup tests.

Why did it become a flight test?

"Hahahaha! I didn't expect you, Professor, to be an impatient person too!!"

Unexpectedly, Seryev burst out laughing, causing the two of them to stare at each other.

"What? Did I say something wrong? A newbie, a rookie, actually pushed him out like this for a flight test? Even though we are in space now and don't have to worry about taking off from the ground, if we hit something,

Not to mention SV52, that guy will probably have to suffer for a while, right?"

Kurakin chuckled, without explaining, casually took out a document from the side of the console and threw it to Seryev.

That was a data report extracted from the VF-1 piloted by He Ming.

Although it is not comprehensive due to time constraints, the data reports in key places are as detailed as possible.

"Captain Seryev's concerns are legitimate. However, I can't imagine that a young man who can drive a malfunctioning VF-1 across the battlefield and even provide fire support for the Second Defense Force will be

A situation stumped by simple flight testing.”

"What?!"

In front of me is the passage light that continues to disappear downwards.

In my ears, I heard the roar of the take-off and landing platform.

He Ming sat quietly in the cockpit of SV52, silently adjusting his emotions and body, waiting for the moment of takeoff.

This is different from the previous situation of flying VF-1.

At the moment, He Ming does not need to drive the SV52 to participate in combat, nor does he need to drive the SV52 to perform any missions.

The only thing he has to do is to fly this transformable fighter plane in this space, and then understand the SV52, understand the SV52, and become a life and death partner with it.

"Cha..."

Inadvertently, a slight electric sound came from the headset.

It's communication.

He Ming lowered his gaze, raised his hand and pressed the flashing communication button.

"This is Delta 1.SV52, please answer when you receive it!"

Then, a woman's avatar appeared on the screen.

long brown hair,

serious look,

white military uniform,

Presumably, this is the Misa Hayase.

He Ming opened his mouth and responded.

"This is SV52. Delta 1, please speak!"

"SV52 flight test plan No. 1 has been approved. Takeoff channel 03. Flight route 132, time 0910. Flight time limit 60 minutes. Please reply when received!"

"Understood! Takeoff channel 03, flight route 132, time 0910, flight time limit 60 minutes."

He Ming repeated it.

"In addition, please note that at time 0945, a reconnaissance team will return. Please be sure to pay attention to the situation near the route! If necessary, the flight test must be terminated and return immediately!!"

"clear!"

In a blink of an eye, SV52 had arrived at the take-off platform, and with the assistance of the maintenance team that had been prepared, the auxiliary engine was installed.

This made He Ming feel both unexpected and expected.
Chapter completed!
