Chapter 371: Hope and the Future

Days were quickly spent in peace.

Chu Jungui not only made up for the chariots lost in the last battle, but also increased the total number of chariots to 250. However, the combat effectiveness of the troops does not increase linearly, as can be seen in the battle with the Crystal Falcon. As the number of troops increases, the average combat effectiveness of single vehicles also decreases accordingly.

The main reason is actually because of an unreasonable guy like Chu Jungui.

The girl is completely in a state of workaholism and technology maniac, and in just a few days, she has completed the improvement of Prometheus and began to build a new mastermind. The new mastermind, named Candlelight, is expected to use 5,000 biochips with a hashrate index of more than 2,500, equivalent to a quarter of the Cambrian period.

Li Ruobai is also progressing well...... Overall, the sub-categories are terrible.

He completed the construction of four power furnaces, adding 1 million kilowatts of energy to the base, and also completed the design and manufacture of a new high-temperature refining furnace. The high-temperature refining furnace is mainly attached to the furnace chamber with a high-temperature package, including a more resistant ultra-high temperature furnace wall and a higher power input component, so it is not too difficult to build.

Following the predetermined process, the next step is the preparation of metallic hydrogen. Of course, the efficiency of this equipment is lower than that of the mature industrial system of the dynasty, but it can also harvest 2 tons of monocrystalline metal hydrogen per home star day. During the time it takes to produce the metallic hydrogen, the new transport ship will be rebuilt.

Chu Jungui's plan is perfect, the problem is that it is Li Ruobai who implements it.

When Chu Jungui came to the factory assigned to Li Ruobai, he saw that what came out of the newly built high-temperature refining furnace was not a crystal small metal hydrogen block, but a layer of one-meter-square material plates, which looked like a layer of metal and a layer of non-metal. Several stacks of material plates had been piled up next to the refining furnace, and several warriors were loading them onto carts.

"What is this?" Chu Jungui casually picked up a material plate. This time I can see more clearly, the material board is mainly non-metallic materials, and the texture is somewhat similar to ceramics after high-temperature refining, but the quality is much lighter, and the overall weight of one square meter of material plate is only 2 kg. One side of the material board is a thin sheet of metal, and the surface is slightly rough, but it feels pleasant to the touch, and it has the feeling of natural stone.

"This is my newly developed building wall panel, how about it, not bad?" Li Ruobai seemed to be very satisfied with his proud masterpiece, and Tao Tao continued to introduce: "Its main material is actually a crushing mixture of soil and rock here, and a little metal component is added to it, and it becomes a pretty good lightweight ceramic." And it's naturally resistant to acid etching here, eliminating the need to add another layer of composite to the surface. Of course, it would be better if you sprayed a layer of film. Not to mention sturdiness and acoustic insulation. It's not as good as survival-grade composites in terms of defense against particle killing, but it's much more powerful than regular heavy alloys. As long as the composite material is twice the thickness, it can provide particle defense with the same properties. Let's not forget, survival grade composites cost 10 times more. ”

"Besides, this layer of metal is actually a heavy alloy that has been fine-tuned, and the surface is specially treated. As long as the same surface is encountered, it will produce a natural strong adsorption force. Look!"

Li Ruobai picked up the two material plates and pasted the metal surfaces together, and the material plates immediately stuck firmly. Li Ruobai used a lot of effort to break them apart.

Chu Jungui also tried it, and the adsorption power was indeed not small. And it's not magnetic, it's just the adsorption provided by the physical properties of the surface of the material, which doesn't attenuate.

"Pretty good!" Chu Jungui finally gave an evaluation, and then asked, "Where are you going to use these things?"

"Build a house. Li Ruobai blurted out.

"Build a house?" Chu Jungui didn't remember that he had assigned this task, and there was no shortage of places to live in the fortress at present. Most of the new captives were Crystal Falcon, and they were not fully aware of their situation, so only a few surrendered. In other words, most people currently only need 0.5 square meters of living space. After the surrender, you can enjoy the spacious space of 2 square meters per person. So at the moment, there is actually no pressure on the fortress to live.

Li Ruobai stared at Chu Jungui, sighed, and said, "Jungui, you are a monster, and others are not monsters." Have you ever wondered what people are following you for?"

"Live. Chu Jungui had thought about this question a long time ago, and he had analyzed it in detail for him when Hathaway was there.

The Confederacy's semi-private legions value loyalty, and the penalties are commensurate with that. The regular legions are even more than that. At this point, the federate aristocracy had an almost religious fanaticism, so much so that many workarounds had to be made at the practical level, such as the registration of the dead of Roland and others.

If the person is registered as killed in battle, his family will not be affected, but it will be difficult for the person to return to the army.

In the near-complete enclosed environment of Planet 4, the only way to survive is to surrender. Otherwise, Chu Jungui wouldn't even have to do anything, as long as he left them on the battlefield and left them alone, no one would survive for a day.

Therefore, the people of the lancers, pirate flags, and even the warriors of the round table, from the generals to the soldiers, all sincerely fought for Chu Jungui, because they had no way to retreat for a long time.

But Li Ruobai shook his head, "I know what you said." It was fine before, but what about in the future?"

"Later?"

"After leaving here. ”

Chu Jungui frowned slightly, "It seems a bit early to discuss this now." ”

"It's not early, we can leave at any time, and so do they. ”

Chu Jungui looked at the soldiers who were constantly busy and said, "Okay, you're right, go on." ”

"In addition to surviving, there are two reasons why they follow you. ”

Chu Jungui began to listen carefully.

"For one, you're a monster. ”

Although he couldn't cry or laugh, Chu Jungui still understood what Li Ruobai meant. Chu Jungui's personal combat power is extremely strong, and he has the ability to turn the tide of the battle no matter in the face of the beast tide or the federal army. Following Chu Jungui, there is a guarantee of victory, and victory is the prerequisite for survival.

Li Ruobai stretched out a second finger, "Second, because you are an agent." ”

The identity of the agent is no longer a secret, at least not on Planet 4. However, Chu Jungui felt that this identity was of little use except for the design drawings given. As for the channels for agent exchange, in fact, there is no such thing at all. Red Hitomi's mobile base didn't know where to run for a long time.

Oh, and the chip is still somewhat useful, that's all. Moreover, the personality of this chip is somewhat annoying.

Li Ruobai disagreed with Chu Jungui's opinion, saying: "For them, your agent is not just an identity, but their hope and future. ”
