As soon as he entered the restaurant, the captain took the lead in greeting him and said with a smile: "I am Liu Yutian, the captain of this high-speed frigate. It's been a pleasure to meet both. ”

Li Ruobai stretched out his hand to shake the captain, smiled enthusiastically, and said, "Li Ruobai, currently only an intermediate spaceship pilot. This Xiao Shan is a good friend of mine, he is a very good person, but he is not good at socializing, so forgive me. ”

"Where, come, let's sit first, time is pressing. ”

After taking a seat, Li Ruobai looked at the table full of dishes, couldn't help sighing, and said, "This is life." ”

Liu Yutian said with a smile: "I just like to eat, so the chefs on the ship are all privately recruited by me." It's cheaper for a few of them. ”

The officers laughed.

Li Ruobai also said: "If my former boss could do this, I wouldn't have run to such a poor country." ”

Liu Yutian said: "Oh, is it desolate down there?"

"It's not desolate, but it's much worse than desolation! Seeing the storm clouds, think about it, what equipment can work in that environment? Only pure machinery! It's like going back to primitive society. There is life on the planet, but this is a planet that breathes chlorine, and all living things are not blood, but pure acid. If we want to find something to eat, we have to resynthesize organic matter ourselves. You must remember the taste of the paste, right?"

Many officers' faces changed, and they said repeatedly: "I can't forget, I can't forget!"

Sheng Tang joined the army, and no matter what position, he had to undergo recruit camp training for three months. During recruit training, the staple food most of the time is nutritional paste. Nutritional paste is a thing that can be synthesized with any organic matter and has super high calories, and the taste is indescribable, it is simply unforgettable.

As soon as they heard that Li Ruobai could only nibble on the nutrient paste on the planet below, everyone remembered the sad past, and suddenly became a lot more enthusiastic, and Liu Yutian frequently persuaded the dishes. Li Ruobai is no longer reserved, and lets go of eating.

Chu Jungui was unhurried beside him, looking sven, but in fact, he didn't stop all the time, and he didn't eat less than Li Ruobai. In consciousness, several components are discussing Chu Jungui's question: "Is it really important to eat well?"

"Of course! A good car with good oil, anyone who eats nutritional paste will go crazy. "The political component is leading the way.

"Still have cars that run on gas?" questioned the art component.

"It's a metaphor! Don't take it so seriously!" Politics was dissatisfied.

"Your analogy is inappropriate. ”

"Aren't you also a lot of retro ones?"

Chu Jungui directly turned off the two components.

At this time, after a round of eating and drinking, Liu Yutian said: "Why don't I ask the chef to cook a few more dishes and bring them back to you?"

Li Ruobai sighed with satisfaction and said, "No need, the load is very precious." ”

"That's right. Liu Yutian nodded and said, "The main cargo of this supply is a Cambrian-level military mastermind. To be honest, such an old mastermind is really hard to find, and it was finally dismantled on a transport ship that has been in service for more than 200 years. The remaining half a ton of rare metal is much easier, and there is one in the warehouse. It's wartime, and the price of monocrystalline metal hydrogen has risen, and the current price is 70 million one tonne. You brought two tons, and after deducting the payment, there is still about 20 million left. What to do with this money, is it credited to the account or converted into other supplies?"

"Let's put it on the books first. In addition, what are the needs of the fleet recently?" asked Li Ruobai.

Liu Yutian thought for a while and said: "The situation is quite stable at present, but the tentative actions of both sides are increasing, and there have been more than a dozen large and small conflicts this month. ”

Li Ruobai was stunned for a moment and asked: "Is the conflict still intensifying?

Liu Yutian smiled bitterly, "I'm also worried." Our Tang Dynasty and the Federation have had constant conflicts in the past few decades, but there has never been a full-scale war. Every time a conflict reaches a certain level, it will stop on its own. But this time it's different, it's already a real fire. ”

An officer next to him chimed in: "Indeed, I have never seen such a dense conflict. But these are not something that we little people can control, and we can just fight when the time comes, are we still afraid of those federal guys? By the way, I heard that there are also a lot of federal troops on planet 4, how are they fighting?"

Chu Jungui hesitated for a moment, did not answer, but looked at Li Ruobai.

Li Ruobai said: "The planet is so big, how can it be so easy to encounter? In fact, our range of activity is less than 200 kilometers, and we have encountered a small force of the Federation once, and we have easily killed it." ”

The two sides chatted for a while before the table dispersed.

Li Ruobai deliberately made friends, and by the time he left, he had already called many officers below Liu Yutian brothers.

After agreeing on the next handover time and place, the two returned to the transport ship and returned to the planet's surface.

"See, just a meal, we have a good relationship. ”

Chu Jun returned: "I don't see any meaning. ”

"Why is it meaningless?" Li Ruobai asked rhetorically.

Chu Jungui thought for a while and said, "The relationship you mentioned, I think it still depends on the resources we have, right? If we don't have resources, what's the use of having more relationships? If we don't have monocrystalline metal hydrogen in our hands, no matter how good your relationship with them is, they won't come, right?"

Li Ruobai was a little surprised, and said: "You can figure it out! Indeed, for ordinary people, just eating and drinking is useless. ”

"Then why spend time on this?"

Li Ruo glanced at Chu Jun in vain, "Are you an ordinary person?"

"Yes. ”

Li Ruobai was suddenly blocked, and said helplessly: "Forget it, I can't tell you clearly." Don't forget, we're making a deal with the Skyware Fleet, and it's one person who executes the deal, the same people we just met. They don't have a lot of resources and they don't have the resources, but they can make this deal a mess. ”

"Is this okay?" Chu Jungui frowned.

"Why not? There are so many ways! Besides, even if they can't stop the transaction, they can drag it out, can you stand it?"

Chu Jun returned: "So bold?"

"You don't need to be guts, a little inadvertent mistake is enough. For example, a mechanical failure, or a sudden deviation in navigation, come back in the evening for a few days. What can you do with them? Don't you allow the ship to break?"

The political component disagreed, "They are passive workers, do they want a future?"

Chu Jungui felt reasonable, so he retold it as it was.

Li Ruobai snorted, "They have no future in the first place, so do they care about this?"

Chu Jungui pondered, but with the astonishing high-speed thinking of the test subject, he couldn't figure it out, and for the first time, the test subject felt that the human heart was too complicated, and it was still easy to fight. He decided to trouble the federal base as soon as he landed and catch another batch of prisoners back.

The transport ship pierced through the storm clouds and turned into a steady flight, landing on the ground and flying towards the shadow of Doom.
