A few days later, in the captain's room of the mothership, Li Hu reported the situation: "Xia Long, according to the fake news you released about the computer upgrade system of the Life Freedom, as well as the fake momentum of building sub-ships in batches, sure enough, there are some people with different intentions who secretly sent a communication to New Blue Star, I have recorded all these people, what are you going to do?" ”

Xia Long smiled helplessly and asked: "For the sake of profit, there are always people who take risks, among these people, are there humans, clones, and robots?" And what about their secrecy? ”

"Humans are the majority, there are a few clones, but there are also a few robots, presumably secretly in contact with their original owners; As for secrecy, I have also counted it, most of them were easily discovered by me, and there are a few that I took some effort to figure out! ”

"In this case, you give me the list, and I'll be broadcast at the base later, and you will notify me when you catch these people with treacherous intentions, but those guys who hide well must be kept, and continue to send ambiguous messages to New Zealand Star in the future, confusing Cass, and making him nerve-wracking!" Xia Long is ready to carry out counter-espionage work to the end.

An hour later, Xia Long's voice resounded throughout the farm base: "Recently, some people have taken advantage of the computer to upgrade the system, secretly contacted Cass, revealed a lot of information in the base, these people have now all been caught, during this F2 race, I will send them back to New Zealand Star, I solemnly remind all the personnel in the base, those who have not yet firmly established their positions, this is the last chance, if similar personnel are found again, they will be severely punished!" ”

Then in some screens in the base, all the crimes of these people with bad intentions secretly contacting Cass were played, and the content of the communication was recorded by the computer and displayed on the screen, so far most of the hidden dangers in the base have been cleared, and the few people who let Xia Long deliberately let go were shocked into a cold sweat, at least for a period of time in the future, they will not dare to easily engage in espionage work!

In the mothership cockyard, Tulip, Alice, No. 1 to No. 4, Keton, Bane, Li Hu, Nicole, Martin, Wang Qi, these people are all Xia Long's cronies, or representatives of all parties in the base, gathered together to discuss the development of the farm base.

Keton first reported: "The nuclear ore brought back by the mothership, we now have the equipment that meets the requirements, and it is expected that it can be refined into nuclear fuel in 1 month, plus the part mined by the base, we will have 10 kilograms of nuclear fuel in 3 months!" The production line of the robot is estimated to be put into production in 3 months, but there is a big gap between the configuration and those of us who build the mothership! ”

Xia Long said: "It's hard work, being able to produce self-sufficiency is a lot of progress, and refining these nuclear fuels to ensure the stable development of the base is not a problem; When the time comes, the robot will only be in production, and it can be slowly improved after configuration! ”

Alice changed her previous naughtiness and said seriously: "I roughly calculated before, once the various material reserves in the base are in a state of war, they will only be enough for us to barely last half a year, or even less. ”

"I also know this, but now we also have a lot of advantages, the place where the base is located is very hidden, Cass can't easily find us, and the nearby meteorite group is also a natural barrier, if you really want to fight, the Howard City Lord of City-State No. 6 will also tell in advance, and contain Cass! Now the task is development, and all projects that can be developed must be vigorously developed! Xia Long's tone was very resolute.

No. 1 said: "We are building a few new sub-ships, before the F2 race, there is no problem in building a 50% performance, we will try our best to be consistent in appearance, those obscure parts, also built a lot, if Ketonken pulls out some robots to help, it will be able to assemble into 10 medium-sized gathering ships in a few days." ”

Keton quickly responded: "This is reassuring, although we didn't meet before, but we were all working for Dr. Mel, and now we follow Xia Long, and we have nothing to say, anyway, our robot's energy is much stronger than your clones, hehe!" ”

Seeing that the people around him were very cooperative, Xia Long was extremely relieved, turned his head to look at Nicole and said, "How is the metal devouring bacteria you cultivated?" "After coming to Xia Long, Nicole's condition has stabilized and she has grown a lot of hair.

"There are some, I have tested with a lot of bacteria on the earth, and I really found that there are a few that can properly destroy metal phagoagocytic bacteria, and those who survive will have a certain resistance." Nicole's personality is still relatively cold, and she can never forget her brother Nate's sacrifice to save herself.

"Then Keton, you have a little new mission, find a way to improve our hydrogen-powered missiles, so that they can carry metal devouring bacteria, and release these bacteria after hitting the target, our weapons can't be too single, we have to improve and increase them all the time!"

After Xia Long finished speaking, he looked at Martin and Wang Qi and said, "You two have been staying by No. 1's side recently, you should have learned a lot, right?" ”

Robot Martin responded: "As you wish, I have indeed gained a lot, multi-functional combat platform, I can complete 75% of it alone, and the rest will have to be helped by No. 1, and I have now begun to develop the operating system of the combat platform." ”

Wang Qi continued: "Brother Long, I am also very motivated, although it is still a bit far away for me to build a spaceship, but there is no problem in simply repairing the collection spaceship, earth circle people, absolute shadow, and peregrine falcon series warships in the base, and I have been using a lot of sleep time recently, and I have been following No. 4 to steal learning!" Thanks, number 4! ”

Xia Long is quite optimistic about Martin and Wang Qi, and when he comes to him, the two of them have a better development, and said with a smile: "Yes, I am a little ashamed to see you so motivated, we have to work together, Dolly and David can make up their minds to build their own homes, we can work together, we can also build a better one, if there is any difficulty, just find No. 1 them." ”

Hearing that he had a new mission, No. 2 frowned and muttered: "Xia Long, I hate that you have added tasks to me again, the construction and maintenance of sub-ships, the addition of attack equipment to protective armor, the refining of some special materials, and the multi-functional combat platform, we are a little too busy." ”

Hearing No. 2's small complaints, No. 3 and No. 4's emotions didn't seem to be right, and they looked at Xia Long in surprise, even if it was a robot, it couldn't arrange such a tight task, right?

Xia Long didn't expect No. 2 to suddenly become so individual, and he didn't know that Lu Dao responded like this for a while, although No. 1 was very familiar with him, but he explained so many things, and now he feels that it is really a bit excessive.

The tulip is still beautiful under Alice's dress, and if you don't look carefully at the damage to the humanoid appearance, you can't see anything abnormal, so she helped solve the siege in time: "Don't scare Xia Long, Xia Long has been approved by the old master, Dr. Mel, and you just told me before that you like the feeling with Xia Long now." ”

Clone No. 2 also realized that he was so many people, and it was a little inappropriate to dismantle Xia Long's platform, so he hurriedly said: "Don't be surprised, I'm like this now, I think this is my character My mantra, after all, but I really don't have any complaints in my heart." ”

Nicole, Bain, Li Hu, and Wang Qi nearby all breathed a sigh of relief, and the problem of disagreements within their own people was big, especially since the farm base was still in its infancy.

Xia Long put a stone on the ground in his heart, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Actually, I think that no matter whether it is a human being, a clone or a robot, you should not bury your character, don't make us have no life here, if you have a complaint, it is more like life, if you have any opinions in the future, just put it forward, as long as it is suitable for our current development situation, it can be improved!" ”

After saying this, many people fell into deep thought, especially those who used to stay in New Blue Star, there is competition between the major city-states, and the competition between ordinary people is even more serious, Alice shoots down a fragment of a ship, and the ships compete for it; Alice's shipwreck, with no one in the vicinity to save her, and the fact that she drifted for months in a rescue pod is a typical example.

Compared with New Blue Star, Xia Long's side is much more relaxed, treating former enemies well, Alice became a diplomatic spokesman, Nicole was treated very well, Wang Qi and Martin followed the Super Skill Technician No. 1 to learn secretly, and Xia Long did not shy away from concealing it.

The crew of Bane and Li Hu, even if they secretly contacted Cass to leak information, Xia Long's handling was only sent during the F2 race, and there was no intention of harm.

The matter was almost explained, everyone left, and Tulip also kindly reminded everyone to pay attention to rest and not focus on completing the task. For the tulips, Xia Long is very grateful, during this period of time, the greening work in the base has been completed by this humanoid robot, which makes the base full of life.

No. 2 was left alone by Xia Long, and his personality became more and more distinct, and he actually said a little timidly: "Xia Long, if you simply leave me, there will definitely be nothing good, I hate this." ”

Xia Long patted No. 2 on the shoulder and smiled: "That's the case, seeing how hard you have been working lately, I just happened to have some white radishes ripe, you take them back to stew soup and drink it, it's very replenishing!" ”

"Don't laugh like that, it makes me feel bad, there is no free radish soup, you can just say anything about it, right?"

Xia Long's smile disappeared immediately, and he said seriously: "It's really refreshing, there are really some technical problems that need your help, I got some inspiration from Dr. Mel's data box, and I'm going to let the subship add some auxiliary thrusters, but you can add nitrogen oxide to the fuel tank (if you've played running and are interested in racing, you should know the role of the road), which will make the subship speed up a lot, right?" ”

"In principle, it is reasonable, but the sub-ship is equipped with a high-efficiency nuclear battery, and all the power units inside are integrated with super thermal conductive materials, and there is no need for any improvement in speed. Hearing that it was a problem in improving the subship, No. 2 also became serious.

Xia Long said in a teaching tone: "It's a little narrow-minded for you to think like this, No. 2, from the time I took over the sub-ship to now, it has been 1 and a half years, during this period, the sub-ship has not been improved, in such a highly developed era of science and technology, it is easy to be caught up by the enemy if the current technology is not innovative, especially now that the situation is unstable, we and Cass will go to war at any time, the Avengers said that it will be revenge after 50 years, but who can guarantee that it will not be advanced?" ”

"Xia Long, you said this to remind me, although I and No. 1 have obtained a lot of advanced techniques from Dr. Mel, but we have been guarding his family business and not developing, it is indeed very unsafe, don't worry, I will find a way, the oxygen produced by the decomposition of liquid nitrogen oxide at high temperature improves fuel efficiency, and plays a cooling role, which is really helpful for speed improvement, although the technique is a little backward, but I believe that I will integrate into the sub-ship very well!" Number 2 nodded.

"I'm not too relieved, I'll be 3 minutes late in this F2 race, the second half of the track is a separate increase in difficulty, I have to win the championship, the auxiliary thrusters I said can not consider the deformation problem first, as long as it can be used in the state of the spaceship!" Thinking of the agreement reached with Cass that as long as he won the championship, he would be able to reunite with his grandfather, Xia Long was a little excited.

"I think I'm still trying to find a way to improve the ship, you can keep these radishes first, boil the soup well, and I'll come over to drink it when the time comes." After saying that, No. 2 said goodbye, for the few of them who have built a sub-ship, they all have some obsessive-compulsive disorder in their subconscious, hoping that whether it is a spaceship or other things, they are all superb!
