It took two days on the ship to do all kinds of statistics, and finally waited for the meeting to finally start.

The choice of venue was very particular, and in the small estate of Careda, such land that could not be purchased through public channels also gave the participants some psychological hints.

Pan Wen, who had nothing to do, arrived at Kareda's house early, and after being hurt by Kareda on the grounds that he didn't come to see her, he hid in the corner of the venue to see the people who might be teammates in the future.

The venue was a newly constructed free-standing building, and in the main conference hall there was a huge flat ring table, on which a total of thirty-five holographic projection lenses were exposed.

After everyone arrived, Pan Wen gradually noticed something very interesting—including him, fifteen of the sixteen people brought in by the waiters were men, and twelve of those fifteen people had brought an additional woman into the venue.

It's not strange that pirate bosses like to bring a woman around, some for their own pleasure, some for showing off. But bringing a woman at a meeting of a pirate head has to be said to be disrespectful to other people.

Pan Wen doesn't care, he never thinks that he should be a majestic pirate head, he has the strength to despise him, he has no way, he doesn't have the strength to despise him, he disdains to pretend to be 13 and despises him back, just have the opportunity to meet in the outer space and play a stone.

However, not all of the people present were as desireless as Pan Wen, and most of the pirates were still good-looking, so when the seventh pirate who entered the venue with a female companion appeared, someone exploded.

"Smack." Someone slapped the table.

"Did you guys come to the prom? Can you still bring TM's wife and children with you? ”

The man was obviously irritated, and it happened that Pan Wen also saw a pirate sitting opposite him who had not brought a woman into the arena and secretly gave him a thumbs up.

This person seems rude, but Pan Wen thinks he has a special wisdom.

People who have lived in space all their lives, especially marginalized groups such as pirates, don't actually have laws to recognize partner status. Even if Segerisken gets a statute for lovers, and the surrounding countries don't recognize it, they can only count on Segeis. As a result, the pirate and his significant other will not choose to have another child until they have chosen a place to live.

Of course, these guys who brought women into the venue didn't actually bring their children in, but the meaning is about the same, since there is no legal recognition, then the status of the female companion will not be higher than that of other people's bodyguards, why can these people bring more people in?

The guy who brought the woman in was frightened by this person's momentum, and he was about to make a fuss when his face couldn't get up and down, but he didn't know what the woman next to him said in his ear, so he couldn't help it. Two of those who were already sitting in their seats and were scolded together were in a similar situation.

Seeing this, the waiter who brought people in bypassed the big table and explained to the person who had a seizure: "Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry, it may be that our young lady didn't make it clear, although the bodyguard can't be allowed to enter the meeting, but the intimate partner is not in the restriction." ”

It's a pity that it is the majority who bring women into the venue at this time, and everyone still has to give face to the master in Kareda's territory, and finally the angry guy snorted coldly under the waiter's explanation.

Hehe, intimate partners are not in the restrictions.

The waiter's words made Pan Wenle happy, can't an intimate partner be a bodyguard? Who doesn't know that the bodyguard on Segeis is the closest to the pirate leaders, and the part-time lovers of the opposite sex bodyguards are not all over the place, and the number is not small. His explanation is not insignificant, but after all, it is Kareda's territory, and she can say whatever she wants, and no one will make it clear that she will not give her this face before the meeting collapses.

After sixteen participants and twelve women arrived, Kareda came in with two women, both of whom Pan Wen had seen, one a butler and one secretary, and perhaps one of them also worked as a guard.

Kareda was dressed very formally today, wearing a dark purple low-cut floor-length gown, with hundreds of pearl-like beads hanging on her chest, and the middle one was golden, and I don't know which planet it was.

She walked to the innermost main seat, looked around and began to speak: "There are still two gentlemen who have not returned to Hong Kong, presumably because they are not interested in things, so we will not wait." Everyone has received my message earlier, and some people may have guessed some of the situation, so without further ado, let Adele give you a brief introduction before discussing actions and distribution. ”

The secretary, dressed in an antique black tuxedo and black trousers, bowed and walked to the console next to the main seat, pressed it a few times, and waited for the hologram to generate in front of everyone and start the introduction.

What she said is basically the same as what Karuida said to Pan Wen a few days ago, but the statistics of alien insects have a wider range and are more detailed, and it should be the information that has been supplemented in the past few days.

After Pan Wen saw the more comprehensive information about the insects, he suddenly found that it was a lot more difficult.

This is a systematic group of insects, the division of labor is very clear, the insects responsible for the battle even eat with the help of other insects, and the insects responsible for collecting energy mines do no other work at all. Similar to ant colonies, but judging from the report, they can already communicate simply with their voices.

Again, the insect is not a worm, it refers to all creatures that can travel through space but have no obvious characteristics of civilization. The vast majority of the insects are like the Terrella swarm, using spores to travel through space to find suitable areas to reproduce, and because the tiny spores carry a limited amount of information, these insects form a community with one or two bugs that have evolved to a certain extent. When such swarms develop, they will become large biosphere groups consisting of several food chains, one of which is the food of the other, in order to ensure a sufficient rate of evolutionary mutation.

However, the bugs on this mineral star that Kareda has his eye on are more like ant colonies. An ant colony may sound much worse than an entire biosphere, but it is not possible in an alien insect, and if the organism itself wants to spread a colony with a rudimentary social structure in space, it must use a more advanced mode of space travel than a spores in order to retain enough information. The possibility of embryonic type is very small, it cannot develop into a form that can obtain nutrients on its own like spores, and it can only develop in the world where there is water and organic matter, and the insects that have been discovered by humans do not seem to be so picky eaters, so a more advanced way of travel than spores may be directly the larvae or something larger in the delivery room.

The former type of spore traveler adapts to the local environment from the spore stage, and except for the last specialized part, the other parts are easily integrated into the local biosphere. Bugs in advanced travel mode are most likely to choose to destroy all creatures that might compete with them for resources.

Sure enough, after the secretary finished speaking, Kareda came up and broke the news.

"In order to get to the bottom of the insect, I've lost thirty Marines in a little over a month, and that's a very dangerous bunch. In order to establish a development origin under their noses, it is estimated that at least a 400-strong Marine Corps and a certain scale of intra-atmospheric support system will need to be maintained. ”

The loss of 30 marines in more than a month, and not a single death in a day, does not seem to be very good, but if you think about it deeply, it will be completely different.

The Marines are a group of professional space warriors who use laser weapons and electromagnetic weapons on the ground, and there are no planets suitable for human modification in the MR251 galaxy, so as long as they are outside the landing ship, they must still have power armor!

Creatures, who can frequently kill marines with non-technological powers, must have specialized weapons or bugs dedicated to dealing with technological races. Besides, that group of people just went to investigate the situation, and it caused such a conflict before it reached the point of directly grabbing the bug resources, which shows that those bugs are not very friendly, at least not all the way with the Interstellar Trade Friendly Alliance.

"What do you do so much, just say how to do it, we just don't understand your curves."

The voice is still from the guy surnamed Zhou, and his patience is really ...... Of course, it is also possible to pretend.

Kareda was not angry and nodded.

"Okay, let's talk about the plan directly, whether I have any opinions or not, I'll talk about it later."

Then she talked about the plan for ten minutes.

Her plan is mainly divided into three components, the first is the orbital force, that is, the combat ships of most people, around the target D21 satellite orbit force will be divided into two groups, the heavy ship will stay in high orbit, and the light ship will move between the low orbit and the heavy ship, which will help the ground forces to do some material orbital delivery. The second part is the ground troops, people need to rest and the whole swarm will not all rest, so it is necessary to maintain a marine brigade of more than 600 people on the ground, because there are too many people must be apportioned, and the pirate leaders here will each send a team of thirty marines, and the rest will be covered by Kareda. The construction of the ground works was also carried out by Kareida. Finally, there is the mobility and transport fleet, considering that it will take a long time to initially establish a ground base and a combat-capable orbital station on the D21 satellite, if there is an accident and the material is missing, a fleet will need to return to Segeis to haul supplies.

The plan is relatively complete, and on the whole, if the size of the fleet can bluff the people who come and go with MR251, in fact, everyone is going to make soy sauce, but the marines will be a little more dangerous.

When Pan Wen listened to the plan, he also paid attention to the people at the scene, and found a very wonderful phenomenon: those guys who brought women, the women around them were always whispering to them intentionally or unintentionally, which seemed to be a good performance of feelings, but the situation of the twelve pairs was almost a little subtle, and Pan Wen felt like he was deliberately not letting these people concentrate on listening to the plan.

When Kareda finished speaking, the only female pirate head in the scene besides her spoke.

"Miss, the one next to you is Mr. Pan Wen."

She asked questions but didn't use questions, Pan Wen, who was sitting first on the right, turned his head to look, the female pirate had long fiery red hair made into a bun head, her eyes were a little sharp, and she seemed to be a little impressed, but unfortunately she couldn't remember where she had seen it.

Kareda nodded and asked, "Fiorin, what do you want to say?" ”

"Mr. Pan Wen's arguments at the hearing a few months ago have been refreshing to me, and the accident of MR241 some time ago has confirmed his statement, and I am afraid that if I stay in the target area for too long, there will be an accident on the side of Segeis, and the mobile supply will become empty talk. I think there is also a need for a backup supply scheme. ”

Hearing her words, Pan Wen lowered his head and pressed a few times on the personal computer, it turned out that she had handed him a card during the hearing!
