Chapter 43: All-out development
Before arriving at the base of the farm, Xia Long once again received a greeting from his old rival Cass, which is nothing more than the coexistence of temptation and threat, and can return to New Zealand Blue Star with the scientific and technological knowledge of the Life Freedom and Dr. Mel, and deal with the Avengers together, everything is easy to discuss, otherwise it will be waiting and seeing, the 7 major city-states will deal with a flopping snobbery that has just started, and it will be wiped out in an instant!
Xia Long just smiled slightly, and didn't even bother to reply to Cass. I went back to New Zealand Star to deal with the meteorite rain together, but I was almost sold and helped count the money, and when I went back, I was really hit by a meteorite in the head, anyway, the Avengers were looking for New Zealand Bluestar.
As for Cass's threat, it doesn't mean much to Xia Long, just dealing with the damage caused by Johnny will take a lot of time, and he will have to appease the people; Besides, his base was a months' journey from New Zealand, and Cass didn't know where he was; If he wanted to rush into the army, Howard would definitely contact the rest of the city-states to get in the way.
After returning to the farm base, Bane, Li Hu, Keton and others led all the personnel in the base to give Xia Long a warm return ceremony.
These people were all influenced by Xia Long's piloted sub-ship to face dozens of high-end warships, and the results were prominent. The life born in New Blue Star worships speed in their bones, or how can there be informal regulations, so people have to build a spaceship themselves before they become adults?
Xia Long was not in the mood to accept the welcome ceremony, and the first voyage of the Mothership Life Freedom was not lightly damaged; Cass, the number one figure in New Blue Star, is worried about himself, and he may come to the E-Star Halo area one day to play hide and seek with him.
The Avengers' counterattack is a foregone conclusion, and if they really have to go to war in a few decades, if they haven't been caught by Cass and haven't been defeated by the disease, Charon will have to side with New Blue Star at that time.
After quickly ending the welcome ceremony, Xia Long talked to the important people in the base one by one. The first is Bane and Li Hu, who were originally the captains of two large warships that surrounded and suppressed them, and were later successfully captured by Xia Long.
For these two people, Xia Long has a lot of gratitude in his heart, he has not been in contact with them for a long time, and not long after he was caught, he went to New Blue Star to deal with the meteorite rain, and the two of them carried out the construction of the base very steadily. Xia Long also secretly contacted Keton on a regular basis, and the two old captains have always been very disciplined, so there was no chaos in the base, and even calmed down a few times.
Bane and Li Hu reported on the situation during the nearly 8 months since Xia Long left, the clones and robots under the two of them had nothing to worry about, and under the status of New Blue Star, Xia Long's situation improved a lot, at least this human being did not discriminate.
But human beings are not easy to do, they are emotional, they have to have relatives and friends in New Zealand, they have a lot of thoughts for a few months, and a few even regret it, fortunately, there are not many of these people, after all, in the universe, human beings have many limitations, most of them are clones and robots, and a few humans are playing important positions.
In this regard, Xia Long also had a headache: "Maybe you still don't understand the current situation, I'll ask my diplomatic spokesperson Alice to tell you about the general situation." I'm also very embarrassed about the humans you mentioned, and I don't feel at ease when I let them go back, if I reveal a little information to Cass after I go back, it will be fatal to us! ”
Bane showed a wry smile: "No way, the human emotional world is very rich and difficult to grasp. To be honest, my heart is also very entangled, there is really no pressure on you, but I have a lot of relatives in City-State 6, and the city lord Howard treats me well! ”
Bane slowly opened up his heart, and at first he was willing to be trapped by Xia Long, on the one hand, for the sake of his crew, and on the other hand, he hoped to take the opportunity to bite back and take some information to City-State 6.
But after that, he was constantly moved by Xia Long and took the initiative to send back a group of his own crew; Rescue the cosmic victims along the way; Knowing that he was being calculated by Cass, he still tried his best to resist the meteorite rain; Among the drivers who were caught, the tracker in their bodies was still treated with sincerity and was not immediately erased, which shocked the hearts of Bane and others.
"I will try my best to stabilize the situation of these people, but I can't guarantee whether they will rebel after they go back, but I, Bane, now officially swear with my life that I will not betray you Xia Long!" After Bane finished talking about himself, he made a one-knee motion.
Xia Long hurriedly stopped and said with a smile: "No need to do this, I would have taken you to my thief ship a long time ago." In addition, I haven't told you that Lord Howard is my secret ally, and when he comes back this time, he has helped a lot and sent a lot of protective armor, so you can distribute it to those who perform well in the base first! I'll let you communicate when I have a chance! ”
Hearing the news, Bane smiled happily and left, and his heart was also relieved, Xia Long and his city lord formed an alliance, and there was nothing bad about staying in Xia Long's farm base, and he resolved the knot in one fell swoop.
When Bane was far away, Li Hu, another former captain, quickly said to Xia Long: "I think our hometown on Earth should be the same place, which is very obvious from the name. If you want to become a big thing, many things are inconvenient for you to do it yourself, those who regret it now will always be a little hidden, if you don't feel at ease, just leave it to me, I will keep an eye on these people, if it is really against us, I will have a way to make them disappear, Bane is soft-hearted, but I won't! ”
Xia Long sighed and said helplessly: "Yes, some things can't be said explicitly, in the future, things like this will be left to you to deal with, remember to be hidden!" ”
Li Hu didn't seem to expect Xia Long to believe in himself so easily, and said in surprise: "You just believe in me so much, let me take on such an important responsibility with one sentence?" ”
"Because we're fellow countrymen, both from the east of the earth, I guess you must want to go back to earth. The Seven City-States haven't moved for 7 years, and now that I have the Ancestral Particles here, and Dr. Mel's technique, I have the best hope of bringing you back to Earth, aren't I? Xia Long's reply was rather relaxed.
Li Hu left without too many doubts, judging from this point alone, it is more suitable to do something that cannot be known to outsiders.
Later, Xia Long found the robot representative who built the mothership, Keton, and also explained the important tasks. The first is to prepare resources and materials, to refine the mothership, Xia Long's biggest reliance at present is the Life Freedom, and the maintenance must not be sloppy!
The second is to prepare for the computer of the Life Freedom, and upgrade the system, so that Xia Long's combat effectiveness can be improved, after all, from the current situation, the computer is still a little hard now, and he did not consider the situation and consequences before desperately implementing Dr. Meier's instructions, the use of the outer layer of the mothership to resist laser attacks, and the auxiliary thrusters were not used because they were not completely built, which was indeed a headache and almost had a big incident!
The third is to expand the population of robots, and Xia Long is now extremely lacking in organic resources and cannot create clones. The construction of the base and the collection of resources require a large number of manpower, so we have to start from the robot, so that the construction of the base can enter the stage of rapid development!
Fortunately, there are 300 robots with Keton, and they don't need much rest, and they are all quite good technicians, and the cheap place away from New Blue Star was able to build a mothership, and now the problem of developing a farm base will not be too big.
After the last, Xia Long found No. 1 to No. 4, the builders of the Life Freedom sub-ship, they are all super technical personnel, the sub-ship is much more advanced than the mother ship, the building materials of the sub-ship, the technical links and other issues, Xia Long can find specific information in Dr. Mel's data box, but if you want to operate it personally, it is absolutely impossible, and some of the most important links can only be completed by the configuration of robot No. 3 and No. 4 equipment.
For these four people, the task given by Xia Long is even more difficult, to refine a huge amount of materials and devices for backup, to ensure that after each battle, the Life Freedom can be repaired in the first time, and this aspect is mainly handed over to the clones 1 and 2.
As for No. 3 and No. 4, they need to follow Xia Long's requirements to give Howard to their high-quality protective armor and transform it to enhance their attack performance on the basis of the original protective effect, even if they increase their volume and weight.
There is a reason why today's protective armor is not equipped with any attack performance, that is, in order to strengthen the safety of users, all the problems of attack are left to the spaceship or other devices, and the maximum play of their respective advantages is emphasized.
But Xia Long's current situation is different, relying on the geographical advantage of the farm base in the E star halo area, basically on the back of E star, there are several months of normal voyage from New Blue Star, although Cass is powerful, but it will not be easy to attack it directly, and the Life Freedom is still a lot of attraction to Cass now, and Cass doesn't want to destroy it directly.
So Xia Long has to develop, any project with potential has to be developed, and the armor has offensive performance, which seems a bit of a joke now, but if something goes wrong inside his base one day, or Cass arranges a spy, it can be used.
In addition, the four people from No. 1 to No. 4 have to take time to cooperate with Keton to secretly build the main configuration of the sub-ship, Xia Long is ready to build another sub-ship of Life Freedom, although it takes a long time, but as long as there is another sub-search ship, Xia Long's combat effectiveness will increase a lot.
Of course, Xia Long is not a dead brain, it has to be scarce rather than indiscriminate, although the sub-ship with the same effect is difficult to build, but reduce the grade a little, there is 60% performance of the sub-ship, conservative estimates, it is almost the highest performance of the small warship of New Blue Star now, the effect of the Tuquan 6 series, as long as it can be quantified and produced, it is also a good combat effectiveness.
After explaining the tasks to the main members of the base one by one, Xia Long was almost tired, rubbing his head and sighing. Xia Long has not considered Toucheng Cass, so that his life may be much more comfortable, and his grandfather may get the best treatment, and then he will continue to grow agricultural products leisurely with tulips.
But this is all maybe, Xia Long is almost set up a new city-state now, to this point, there are only two results, either he develops enough to compete with New Zealand Star, or he is devoured by Cass, Cass will definitely not tolerate his own leisurely life, and will definitely find every reason to make himself disappear!
Xia Long came to the outside of the mothership, walked slowly, and looked at the farm base in the meteorite, which has changed a lot and changed for the better than before he left, and the life here is not like New Blue Star, where he is busy earning merit and performing various dangerous missions all day long.
"Okay, you Xia Long, now you are still in the mood to take a walk, I really took me your secretary, I was just your diplomatic spokesman, look at what my sister is busy with, I just distributed the protective armor that Lord Howard gave us, I am exhausted! And how should Nicole, Martin, and Wang Qi be placed in the original drivers? It's all on your territory, do you want to arrange a better place for me to live? Alice said with some grumbling and some mischievity.
Hearing the sweet voice, Xia Long smiled and said, "Let's stay on the mothership for the first time, I will let Li Hu hurry up the time to prepare." Either you can accompany me to plant some plants in the base first, my planting base was not as boring as here before; Also, it's time for Tulip to wake up, and it's hard to see if he'll be able to accept it all when he wakes up! ”
