The earthquake lasted less than two minutes, and by the time everything had calmed down, more than half of the fortifications had collapsed.

The officers and soldiers who escaped had been waiting for Carlson, but Carlson did not come out. As soon as the earthquake stopped, these officers and soldiers swarmed up.

On the battlefield, the officer leaves the soldier and flees alone, and the soldier escapes regardless of the officer's life or death.

According to military law, regardless of whether an officer is dead or alive, his soldiers must find him, and even if it is just a corpse, they must bring it back. Leaving a superior officer on the battlefield, even if he escapes alive, is a felony, and in serious cases, he will be punished with capital punishment, and even if he has extenuating circumstances, he will be exiled.

Carlson didn't come out, he must have been inside the fortifications.

Although it is not clear why, after all, Carlson is an officer, has an Origin Converter, even if the fortifications collapse, he can escape unscathed, and it is absolutely impossible to die because of an earthquake, but the priority is not to find out the cause, but to find Carlson.

To live to see people, to die to see corpses.

However, for officers and soldiers who do not have an original energy converter, even if they have an original energy storage, they cannot be used to drive large excavation equipment.

Besides, there are no large excavations at all.

Relying only on the hands of the officers and soldiers themselves, not only is the excavation speed very slow, but also consumes a lot of Origin Energy, so it is impossible to find Carlson buried in the rubble in time.

At this time, the slag star is outside.

Carlson's report had already been received by the flagship, and, according to the usual procedure, the staff officers of the fleet command dealt with it after receiving the report.

It's just that this sub-report was not classified as a general class, but was forwarded directly to the commander of the fleet.

Obviously, this was something Carlson didn't expect.

If he had known, Carlson would have reported in more detail and would have come up with a solution. Some important points are mentioned.

Actually, it's useless.

When the commander of the fleet received this report, he did not give clear instructions, or even give orders, that is, everything went according to plan.

Apparently, the fleet commander did not take the problem mentioned by Carlson as a problem.

This cannot be blamed on the negligence of the fleet commander. Because in Nethan's view, this is not a problem at all.

It was not Nethan's idea to build a fortress-level military camp on the Slag Star, but from above, that is, an order directly issued by the Wanluo War Emperor.

Like Carlson, Nethan was puzzled by the order.

It was a barracks, not a fortress. What's more, building a barracks on a slag star is not very helpful for fleet operations.

You know, Slag Star is a planet, although not very large. But the mass is hundreds of times that of an asteroid. Getting a large warship to anchor on the Slag Star not only requires a lot of original energy, but also is very troublesome, just landing and taking off takes a lot of time. Besides, normally, capital ships do not enter the planet's atmosphere, let alone land on it, so most of the space fortresses that support the fleet are built on asteroids. If the conditions do not allow. Even cobbling together a space fortress with a warship is much better than building a fortress on a planet. Build forts on planets. It is primarily intended for the deployment of ground forces, as well as to provide support for the combat operations of ground forces in the region.

The problem was that only ten corps followed the activities of the fleet.

Obviously, there was no need to build a fortress-level barracks for ten legions.

Not to mention that here is far from the front line, and there is no enemy nearby. There are also no hostile civilizations, and there is simply no need to deploy too many legions here.

If it's just a transit station, then it's more appropriate to build a space fortress.

The solution is also very simple, put together a few large landing ships, and you can build a space fortress near Slag Star that is enough to support more than a dozen legions.

Apparently. Nethan couldn't figure it out at all.

It's just that, like Carlson, Nethan didn't think much about the order from Wanluo War Emperor, and he was not qualified to question Wanluo War Emperor's decision.

Of course, when this barracks can be built is naturally not something that Nesen cares about.

Although the order was issued by the Wanluo War Emperor, Nethan attached great importance to it, and asked the staff officers of the headquarters to give priority to the relevant information and report to him as soon as possible, but Nesen did not pay attention to the problems mentioned by Carlson at all. Quite simply, there are no enemies on the slag planet at all, and even if the outer defense deployment of the barracks is not completed, there is not much of a problem. Besides, when the large force arrives, the transport ship will bring in the heavy equipment, and then Carlson will complete the construction of the outer defensive line. Obviously, the defense of the barracks is not a problem at all, the key is to complete the construction of infrastructure in a timely manner, so that the large forces have a place to settle down when they arrive.

In this case, there is no need to adjust the construction plan and let Carlson follow the plan.

It's just that it didn't take long for the problem to become serious.

When the staff officer delivered the news he had just received, Nethan was still thinking about whether to give a new order for Carlson to concentrate on completing the construction of the barracks infrastructure so as not to delay time. The order of the Wanluo War Emperor was simple, the large army would arrive in ten days, and Nethan must build a military camp for the large army before then. Obviously, a hundred regiments could not be left on the landing ship.

"This is just happening, and we have also detected an earthquake on the outskirts of the Weeping Plains, which is so violent that all the fortifications within a radius of 100 kilometers from the epicenter have collapsed."

"All?"

The staff officer nodded and said, "The specific damage is not yet known, but similar earthquakes have occurred several times in the past few days, and the crust of the slag star is very unstable. It was only the epicenter of this earthquake near the Weeping Plains that it had such a severe impact. ”

"Contact Carlson and let him debrief." Nethan was a little impatient, because something so big had happened, and Carlsen should have taken the initiative to report to him.

"We can't get in touch with him."

"What?"

"We made inquiries and didn't get anything in return from him. In addition, his communications equipment has been turned off, and we have not been able to intercept the response signal he sends. ”

"How is that possible!?"

"Maybe it's a malfunction, maybe it's an earthquake. The specifics are still unclear. ”

"Contact the legion command immediately and send someone over. After finding Carlson, he immediately reported the damage and impact of the earthquake. ”

"Yes!"

Nethan waved his hand impatiently, the earthquake came too suddenly.

Is it just a coincidence?

Perhaps, it's just a coincidence.

Although it was a little strange, Nethan didn't think much of it. The point is, it was so coincidental that the epicenter of the earthquake was under the fortification where Carlson was, and Carlson was in the fortification at the time of the earthquake. Although the other officers and men escaped in time, no one has reported the situation to the fleet command so far. Of course, the officers and men of the engineering units at the grassroots level not only do not have the right to report to the fleet headquarters at higher levels, but also do not have the necessary means of communication.

Of course, Nethan believes that Carlson must be alive and perhaps unscathed. Perhaps, as the staff had guessed, it was only the communications equipment that was damaged in the earthquake, so Carlson was temporarily unable to report to the fleet command. It won't be long before he sends the message back.

Besides, the earthquake had just happened, and Carlson had to take some time to understand the situation.

Unbeknownst to Nethan, Carlson had already been taken prisoner.

It was not the war king of the Silicon Charm Alliance who caught Carlsen, but Yang Yi.

When Nethan asked the staff officer to give an order to the corps headquarters, Yang Yi and the others were in the mine tunnel below the fortifications, and they were evacuating at full speed.

Capturing this engineering unit commander with an S-class Origin Energy Converter in one fell swoop surprised Yang Yi.

You must know that Yang Yi is only a tenth-level soldier, even if his ability to control the original energy is far above that of the human warriors, he is not absolutely sure of controlling the original energy on Shen Chengwen's body. Prior to this, Yang Yi often practiced with Lin Feng, and he had never been able to subdue Lin Feng easily, otherwise it would not be just a hand-holding relationship.

Obviously, a Lei Ling Clan soldier with an S-class Origin Converter should not be worse than a human warrior like Shen Chengwen.

It's just that after controlling the original energy on Carlsen's body, and controlling the original energy converter through the original energy, Yang Yi understood what was going on.

This guy actually has a Silicon Charm Alliance's Origin Energy Converter!

What's more, this original energy converter has been damaged and cannot reach the maximum power, so it is far inferior to the S-class original energy converter owned by Shen Chengwen.

Obviously, this officer was not very good.

Of course, Yang Yi knew that the engineering troops of the Lei Ling clan were not combat units and rarely fought on the front line, so the commanders of the engineering troops were not necessarily powerful. This guy's Origin Converter must have been captured, maybe it was given away by someone else, and it hasn't been repaired.

With a successful blow, Yang Yi didn't dare to delay at all, and immediately withdrew along the way he came.

The earthquake that began did not occur naturally, but was the work of dozens of officers and soldiers of the special reconnaissance brigade. In order to avoid being discovered by the enemy overhead, Yang Yi asked Shen Chengwen to lead the officers and soldiers of the special reconnaissance team to destroy the crust under the fortifications completely by manpower, which caused an earthquake. The solution is not difficult, only a few load-bearing points need to be destroyed. When it loses its support, the rocks above it collapse, triggering a chain reaction that eventually causes the entire crust to move, also known as an earthquake. It's just that it must be very difficult to destroy it completely by manpower. Fortunately, the officers and men of the special investigation brigade are very strong, and the most is strength, which is equivalent to training for several hours.

When Yang Yi arrived at the rendezvous point, Shen Chengwen had already gathered the officers and soldiers of the special investigation team.

Seeing the captives brought by Yang Yi, Shen Cheng didn't ask much, and immediately went to the front to lead the way.

The commander of the engineering unit was captured alive not just to capture a prisoner, but to obtain information, primarily about the deployment in the barracks. Even if this guy doesn't know much, the information he provides is of great value, such as deducing the next move of the Thunderling Legion. According to Yang Yi's plan, after figuring out the enemy's moves, he will decide how to fight the enemy next.

The captives were captured, and the hard work of the previous hours was not in vain.

Of course, this is not a place for interrogating prisoners. (To be continued.) )
