Chapter 88: Cass's ambition
(There is a problem with the network cable today, and it can only be transmitted by mobile phone)
In the Ark 3 of the New Blue Star No. 3 City-State, a person who was all surrounded by the best protective armor knelt down on one knee and said carefully: "Great master, the first master of each city-state to complete the upgrade of the ark!" According to your instructions, I have edited the battle footage of this expedition to Xia Long, and claimed to have severely damaged Xia Long's base and destroyed countless raw ore factories. ”
"This is a good thing! Cass No. 1, in the case of preconceived circumstances, we took the lead in publicizing the results, and the support of the people was biased towards the top, and we must have the advantage, Xia Long, the matter of fighting is not so simple, and we have to be able to build momentum! ”
can become the founder of the alliance of the 6 major city-states, the most authoritative figure of New Zealand Star, whether it is scheming or playing politics, Xia Long is still not Kas's opponent, don't underestimate Cass's trick to hide from the world, at least it will make many people who choose to be optimistic about Lu and snobbery, disappointed in Xia Long or continue to wait and see.
Cass wants to unify New Blue Star's mind, and ordinary people will not know about it and will not care much, but the high-ranking personnel of the city-states have already seen that the first expedition of Cass will be defeated, and those who want to secretly unite with Xia Long to contain Cass will definitely be conservative.
"Forgive me for being foolish, master, why did you only send one fleet of troops on this expedition to Xia Long? With your No. 3 city-state, plus the No. 1 city-state that you secretly control, you can send more. Cass 1 wondered.
"A fleet is just right, the first expedition, as long as it is to test Xia Long's development in E Star, understand his military productivity, military strength, you have also seen, Xia Long's electromagnetic attack defense capability is much stronger than ours, many warships have electromagnetic storm capabilities, and the power of electromagnetic cannons is at least three percent higher than ours!"
Although he did not come to the battlefield in person, Cass was like a bystander, and his analysis was very thorough, the loss of four large warships in this expedition would slowly spread sooner or later, and a fleet would be so successful, sending more would only make people feel that they were bullying more and less, which would damage Cass's prestige and question Cass's command and dispatch ability.
"Your wisdom is truly unmatched, will you send more troops on future expeditions?"
"It depends on Xia Long's development, if he collapses in this battle, he will have to reduce; The point is that the Life Freedom of Charon has a high research value, Dr. Mel is an authority on electromagnetic research, and there must be more ideas and techniques in his data box, judging from the ship of Johnny, the number one messenger of the Avengers, the electromagnetic attack has a good restraint ability, I need to get these to resist the invasion of those who were abandoned by the 3 Ark personnel back then. ”
Cass said his selfishness to the deep righteousness, so that Cass 1 was another burst of flattery, getting the Life Freedom is equivalent to getting the Protogenitorium, and getting Dr. Mel's data box is equivalent to mastering a lot of high-end technology, just known to have eye-catching barrier techniques, which can be used in small warships to produce effects such as gravitational pressure that make humans comfortable!
With all this, coupled with the fact that the life expectancy of human beings has increased a lot under the existing technology, Cass feels that he can unify New Blue Star faster in his lifetime, and he is not afraid of the Avengers who master the alien civilization, and he can even return to Earth and unify with Earth to become the overlord of interstellar aviation!
The more important internal reason is to send more troops, causing the emptiness of their own city-states, and maybe other city-states will take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Urging his own shadow, the next period of time will focus on supporting the private territory represented by Vero and Jeff under the name of City-State No. 3, and Cass will sail Ark No. 3 to the outer space of New Blue Star.
Generally looking at the New Blue Star in the starry sky, while listening to his subordinates, reporting that their ark was dispatched again, and the reaction of the high-level leaders of the city-states, Cass felt the fear of these people, and let out an unscrupulous wild laugh: "Wait, New Blue Star will be named after me sooner or later!"
In the vast universe, even if the search and rescue scope is narrowed to the vicinity of the battlefield in the rare earth mining area, the search and rescue work is still very difficult, and the range of signals sent and received by the rescue capsule is very limited.
If you want to find Wang Qi, Kevin and other victims, you have to expand the scope of search and rescue, with the help of Xia Long's unique encrypted signal, try your luck to search, from the base to the place of distress, it takes more than a day, the longer it drags on, the more difficult the rescue capsule may float to a farther and more difficult place to find.
After a month of search and rescue by Mike and Alice and others, Wang Qi and Kevin, and many of the victims were finally found, including Cass's expeditionary force, but they were all seriously injured, and the robots were okay to solve, but humans and clones were in trouble, and even the ideology could not be activated under serious injuries, so they could only enter a state of hibernation and wait for enough good treatment to wake them up.
This is also fortunate that Xia Long attaches enough importance to the people who follow him, and equips the stealth technique to the life-saving cabin, which greatly improves the chance of survival, otherwise it is very likely to be wiped out by the enemy, and there is still some bottom line in life, New Blue Star has an unwritten rule that you don't attack the life-saving cabin in battle, but who can guarantee that it will really be done?
During the search and rescue period, Xia Long's side was still busy with the maintenance of the farm base, and there was no time to publicize the victory of this battle, due to Cass's exaggerated show-off, New Blue Star had already determined that Xia Long was defeated and suffered heavy losses, and was just around the corner to be annexed by Cass.
"I'm sorry, Xia Long, I didn't expect Cass to be so despicable and shameless, obviously one of his fleets was destroyed by us, but he said that we couldn't defeat the army, I should have let Oscar spread the battle picture on our side to New Zealand Star earlier, I was too impulsive!"
Oscar had already told Xia Long about Cass's exaggerated propaganda of the expedition, and as a diplomatic spokesman, Alice should have done a good job of post-war propaganda work as soon as possible, and fought a smokeless war with Cass to win the favor of the people of New Zealand Star, but in order to search for Wang Qi and others, Alice delayed the best opportunity.
"It's nothing, facts speak louder than words, the real result of this battle, the world will know sooner or later, it doesn't matter if you do this later, life is precious, it's right that you take the initiative to do search and rescue work, it's very correct, we need such an atmosphere here!"
Cass distorted the results of the battle to show off, hoping to create invisible psychological pressure on Xia Long's side, but Xia Long is not afraid, his allies, and the cooperation between Howard City Lord is getting closer and closer, otherwise he will not send the only relative of this generation, Kelly, to himself, with Howard here, it will soon make Cass's propaganda questioned.
In the farm base, many places have only been briefly repaired, and through the surface of the meteorite, you can see the angular structure of the outer layer of the inner base, the passage for small spaceships to enter and exit, and the blocked places have been almost cleared, at least there will be no image of queuing in and out just after the war.
There are not many passages for medium-sized collection spacecraft to enter and exit, and there are not many such spaceships Xia Long, considering that there is an urgent shortage of resources and materials, it has been cleared up as a priority.
The four of Keton and No. 1 have successively repaired the two enemy ships attacking the farm base, mainly due to the damage to the electronic equipment, and now there is no problem with sailing, the original nuclear fuel and non-strategic equipment can be used, and under Xia Long's arrangement, they have also done improper things, and have completely become large transport warships, to collect and load the resources that are urgently needed at present.
As for the passage of the Mothership Life Freedom, it is still slowly repairing, and the mothership has been arranged by Xia Long to have a temporary and close work schedule, first rushing to the vicinity of the rare earth mining area, so that the victims can get basic treatment as soon as possible, and collect some sporadic rare earth ores by the way.
Of course, the most important job is to be a coolie, in the rare earth mine defense war, an enemy ship was paralyzed, and then the meteorite where the rare earth mine is located was ruthlessly destroyed and disintegrated by Fils, and the meteorite fragments damaged the enemy ship twice, and it was damaged by impact, it was difficult to repair, and it was impossible to even restore the basic navigation ability, and the task of the mother ship was to pull the enemy ship back to the farm base to dismantle it for development.
Wang Qi's injuries were very serious, he was still in a coma, and he had extensive burns all over his body, which was still under the effect of protective armor, and the Chitu warship he was driving was rubbed by the laser cannon of the enemy ship.
In the medical area inside the mothership, after Alice injected Wang Qi with hibernation potions and nutrient solutions, she said with tears in her eyes: "It's all my fault, I cursed him for the old man, and he fell into trouble in the universe again, and a lot of skin and flesh are rotten!" ”
After Nicole came to Xia Long, she has been dedicated to medicine, and she still said in a cold voice, comforting: "Now we lack organic resources here, even if we want to biosynthesize potions for the treatment of burns, it is impossible, for the time being, we can only rely on Wang Qi's own recovery ability!" ”
"Then you must always keep an eye on his condition, and you must not get worse again."
Even Tulip can see that ** Hao is interested in Alice, and naturally he will not let go of the opportunity to perform at this time, and said quite rigorously: "Don't worry, Miss Alice, I just got Xia Long's permission, and Oscar released the news, and the medical resources will definitely be sent to us as much as possible!" ”
Alice was still very worried: "However, Wang Qi is really seriously injured!" ”
"As a life scientist, I must have a basis for reassuring you, I repeatedly instructed Oscar to get some drugs from the No. 2 city-state, including stem cells, this city-state is known for its medical 'organic research', and when the time comes, it will be completely restored by using stem cell cultivation!"
The robot Kevin was also with Wang Qi, in the battle to defend the rare earth mine, in order to cover the other retreat from the breakthrough, his own warship was also damaged, but it was also a blessing and a curse, and the rescue capsule was hit by the fragments after the disintegration of the rare earth mine meteorite.
But it was also a collision, under the premise that the stealth of the rescue cabin was not scattered, it was completely far away from the battlefield, and it escaped the scanning of the enemy's anti-stealth device, and the robot was easy to repair, but after the war, Xia Long lacked almost everything, and the relevant resources were given priority to the temporary repair of the farm base.
"Kevin, in the future, you may not be able to steer a warship." Mike's voice was rarely low, influenced by Xia Long, where life is born regardless of physique, and sincere concern can be seen everywhere.
Kevin is also a robot with very good thinking ability, the original farewell speech, a long live life shocked a lot, now an arm and a leg have been scrapped, slumped on the ground, optimistic said: "It's okay, I'll stay in the docking area in the future, I can help you repair the ship at any time!" ”
At this time, Xia Long stayed alone in the captain's room, thinking about how to buy time to resume the development of the base as soon as possible, and it would definitely take several months to wait for the assistance of the No. 6 city-state to arrive, who can guarantee that during this period, Cass will not launch another expedition? Its No. 3 city-state has already developed on a considerable scale in D-star.
At this time, Li Hu sent a communication: "Xia Long, I received a communication request from New Blue Star, from Cass, do you need to talk to him?" ”
