The Ninth Fleet's visit was unexpected, so Chu Jungui was not prepared for anything. However, this did not bother him, after transferring the alloy materials to the transport ship, Chu Jungui drove back to the No. 2 base, transported several tons of metallic hydrogen stored in the base to the orbit, and handed it over to the Ninth Fleet. During this time, Li Ruobai completed the work of confirming military merits.

Destroying a light escort-class patrol ship of the Federation, with a total of about 200 military merits, Li Ruobai registered the Lightyear Legion, and then allocated 150 points to the legion, and the rest was assigned to Chu Jungui's second lieutenant rank. These military exploits were enough for Chu Jungui to be promoted to captain. As for Li Ruobai himself, he didn't want any military merits.

After doing this, the starships of the Ninth Fleet took advantage of the gap between the Federation patrols to quietly fly away and return to the mobile base.

Chu Jungui camouflaged the unfinished starship, and drove the transport ship back to Base 2, ready to load the next batch of materials and power furnaces.

Back at Base 2, Chu Jun was about to go to the laboratory, but was stopped by Li Ruobai.

"Jun Gui, aren't you really going to take a look at Sister Xi?"

"Isn't she so good now? Why should she go?"

Li Ruobai's voice raised a little, "Do you think she is doing well? Now that the situation of the Ninth Fleet can be supported, it is good, and Sister Xi is in danger all the time." ”

Chu Jungui stopped, looked through the window, looked at the gloomy storm clouds, and was silent for a long time.

"Jungui, you ......" Li Ruobai didn't finish a sentence, Chu Jungui suddenly turned around and asked, "Do you think she will die?"

Without waiting for Li Ruobai to answer, Chu Jungui said to himself: "On this battlefield, anyone will be in danger now, it's just a matter of high or low coefficients. ”

Li Ruobai felt that Chu Jungui's state was a little abnormal, and hurriedly said: "In fact, there are also high and low, for example, it is quite safe to stay in the mobile base." ”

Chu Jungui asked, "Why didn't the Ninth Fleet withdraw?"

"There must be a reason, if it could have been withdrawn, it would have been withdrawn a long time ago. What is the specific reason, you have to wait for the next transaction to find a way to ask. ”

Chu Jungui shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter if you ask or not, I have a hunch that she won't leave, and she won't stay in the mobile base." ”

Li Ruobai was faintly uncomfortable, and said: "Jun Gui, Sister Xi is not an ordinary person, we don't need to worry about her." But you, don't do anything stupid......"

Chu Jungui smiled, turned around and gave Li Ruobai a hug, and said, "You don't have to worry about me, I won't do stupid things either." I just think ......"

"What do you think?"

Chu Jun returned to the surging sky and pointed and said, "I was born for such a battlefield. ”

Chu Jungui patted Li Ruobai's shoulder and walked into the laboratory.

Li Ruobai stayed where he was, looking up at the sky, and finally his blood faded, and suddenly understood something, and said angrily: "I was almost deceived by your literary fan!

Base 2 was still running in an orderly manner, with little change in rhythm, but everyone felt a faint sense of oppression. The production sequence was subtly adjusted, and 30 rapid-fire guns were first produced in half a day, placed on the second line of defense of the base, and operated by soldiers stationed day and night.

After strengthening the defenses, the production of power furnaces began on a large scale. The overall production index of Base 2 has exceeded 5,000, that is, it can produce 50 combat vehicles a day. There are also a large number of pirate flags and even lancers in this base, and they are already familiar with Chu Jungui's style. The initial mass production of power furnaces meant a harbinger of another expansion of production capacity.

Chu Jungui stayed alone in the laboratory for a while, and then took out a new planning map.

Over the next week, Base 2 will be built with the idea of maximizing capacity, and everything else, including weapons and starships, will be temporarily suspended. After the completion of this round of construction, the total power supply of the base will exceed 10 million kW, which is barely enough to supply the energy of a large city in the era of the home planet.

With sufficient energy, there is the confidence to develop the materials industry in a big way, especially metal refining, which requires a lot of energy. Chu Jungui didn't bother to look for ore veins, so he directly built several excavators, dug a ditch around the No. 2 base, and sent the soil produced by the trenching directly into the refining furnace to smelt into various metals. This refining efficiency without prior separation is not very high, and only slightly less than half of the mass is refined into various metallic and non-metallic materials. But the remaining residue is also a good building material, which is directly pressed into standard building modules for use in the construction of the base.

The ditch outside Base 2 became deeper and wider, turning into a natural barrier against the tide of the beast. During this period, there was a B-level beast tide, but it was just a supplement of organic materials for Chu Jungui.

A week has passed, and the production capacity index of Base 2 has also exceeded 10,000. Coupled with the production capacity of Doomsday Shadow, it has reached 25,000, which means that at this moment, if Chu Jun thinks about it, he can form a force of more than a thousand chariots in a week.

After frantically expanding production capacity, Chu Jungui turned to starship transformation. In this way, it will take several days to transform the starship. Chu Jungui simply built another transport ship and doubled the capacity of orbital material transportation, which barely satisfied the material delivery, and finally completed the transformation of the starship in one day.

At this time, it had been a full ten days since the last trade with the Ninth Fleet.

In the outer orbit of Planet 4, storm clouds are like a roaring sea, and huge waves are constantly surging. The newly renovated starship floats silently on the surface of the sea, like a lonely boat, and its surroundings are littered with leftover materials and dismantled equipment.

The new starship was somewhat short, stocky and chubby, with the front main guns wrapped. Two main engines from the destroyer make it unrivalled in maneuverability.

After the crew was in position, Chu Jungui flew along the storm clouds with the brand-new Sausage to the other side of the planet.

The Sausage was started by Li Ruobai, and he felt that the 100-meter-long starship should have an official name, but such random patchwork could be broken at any time, so he gave it a name even more casually.

Chu Jungui didn't care about the code name and naming and the like, if it wasn't for taking care of Li Ruobai, Chu Jungui simply wanted to use a string of more than 50 digits as the name of the ship. It can even be a little more ruthless, using a three-dimensional model as the name of the ship. The advantage of this is that you can know all the data of the starship at a glance by looking at the name of the ship. The disadvantage is that except for Chu Jungui and Li Xinyi, others may not be able to tell the difference between the two ship names at all.

Under the cover of storm clouds, the Sausage slowly moved forward, gradually moving to the other side of the planet.
