Chapter 383: The Best Arrangement
Replenishing the captives of the Crystal Falcon, the number of Doomsday Shadow has approached five thousand, and the size has returned to half of its peak. The change in strength made Chu Jungui's vision broader, and he accidentally saw the base of the crystal falcon. It's just that after thinking about it, after all, the manpower is short, Chu Jungui feels that it is better not to move this base for the time being before Agnes leaves. She won't be here long anyway, and it's not too late to wait until she leaves and the new person arrives.
And Chu Jungui instinctively felt that Agnes was not an easy person to deal with. These young generals of the Federation are quick to react, and they are always surprised. Joseph and William succeeded in rescuing Hathaway, and his successor, Gamble, became increasingly difficult to deal with from his initial series of defeats to the later devastation of the Shadow of Doom. I think the same is true of Agnes.
The girl and Li Ruobai's attitudes towards this are completely different.
The girl wanted to raise a large army, so she copied Agnes and her troops in one fell swoop, and then packaged and sold them to the Federation.
Li Ruobai felt that he had just received the ransom and done business, and the two sides were in a de facto state of truce, so it was not moral to do it at this time. According to past practice, the generals who redeemed themselves should return to the battlefield after a while, and even if they do, they must change the battlefield.
Chu Jungui didn't expect that there were so many complicated rules, but even if he didn't fight now, he still had too many things to do. The first thing is to increase the number of tanks to 500, and with this base, there is no fear of the tide of A-class beasts. Now, thanks to Agnes' attack on the beast's nest and the preparation of the second beast's nest, the number of war beasts in the entire area has been greatly reduced, and the beast tide is now almost invisible around the shadow of doom.
Then it was time to build a second ark. The Ark has fully demonstrated its irreplaceable role in previous battles, and almost a single one can withstand the enemy of a regional battlefield.
In addition to the defensive forces, Chu Jungui used almost all of his productive power during this rare free time to produce power furnaces. The power furnaces of the entire base are increasing at a rate of two per day, and after a few days, the overall energy supply of Doom Shadow has exceeded 5 million KW, and the development is still accelerating.
In the blink of an eye, the time for a second deal with the Skyware Fleet had arrived.
Chu Jungui and Li Ruobai drove a slightly modified transport ship through the storm clouds to the predetermined handover location. A high-speed frigate from Skyware is already waiting. This time, Chu Jungui delivered 4 tons of crystalline hydrogen, in exchange for 10 tons of various rare metals, and two specially designed Cambrian brains.
The Cambrian design architecture was hundreds of years behind, the materials used were everywhere, and the blueprints were so old that they were almost extinct. Even the young people in the academy who are just starting to learn mastermind design don't start with it. The SkyDomain Fleet's base-type supply ships are not at all difficult to produce.
With the rapid expansion of the production scale of Doomsday Shadow, a single Cambrian main brain has been unable to cope with the needs of the entire production area, and it is even more unable to support the research needs, so Chu Jungui ordered two enhanced Cambrian main brains. Once the two new masterminds are in place, one will be assigned to the production area and one will support the research. The girl's improvement of the Prometheus architecture has come to an end, and when it is all completed, the new generation of biological masterminds will have performance close to Cambrian, but the adaptability to the environment is far greater than that of Cambrian. Moreover, the scalability of the system should also exceed that of the Cambrian, that is, as long as there are enough biochips, the upper limit of computing power can exceed the Cambrian.
The transaction was completed quickly, and the Skyware frigate left the scene directly, without any hustle and bustle, and without superfluous communication, the only thing to do was to send a copy of the recent battle report.
After returning to the shadow of doomsday, Li Ruobai found Chu Jungui and said, "Jungui, the situation is a little wrong. ”
"What's wrong?"
"There are too many war reports. Over the past 10 days, there have been more than 20 clashes of all sizes, with destroyer-class losses on both sides. Li Ruobai looked worried.
"What does this mean?"
"Whether it's power reconnaissance or patrol search, high-speed frigates are the best choice in a conflict of limited scale, both sides are very flexible, can fight and withdraw, and there is no heartache in the loss. Negotiations in conflict resolution are also easy to handle. But destroyers are different. The cheapest high-speed frigates can be won for one or two hundred million, but destroyers start at least 2 billion, which is a qualitative difference. The loss of destroyers means that both sides are sending their main fleets with the goal of starship battles. This is already on the dividing line between a full-scale war and a local war. ”
"It's already been fought like this, isn't it a full-scale war?" Chu Jungui was a little strange.
"Of course not. Li Ruobai looked left and right to make sure that the girl was not there, and then pulled Chu Jungui aside, lowered his voice and said quickly: "I just searched for the latest news when I was trading. Until now, some on both sides have been pushing for a truce, and even more have joined the ranks because they realize that the scale of the war is at risk of getting out of control. One of the most important efforts is the engagement of Xinyi and Xiao. ”
Li Ruobai said as he quickly displayed relevant information on his personal terminal.
"Xiao, oh, I've seen ......" Chu Jungui looked at Xiao's photo and remembered this young man with a unique charm.
"You've seen it?"
"Nothing. But how does an engagement become the most important endeavour?"
Li Ruobai said: "Xiao's family and the Li family of Tianyu themselves are huge and have extensive influence. The combination of the two families will definitely designate a considerable part of the resources to the descendants of Xinyi and Xiao, thus creating a neutral family with good power. It is also a guarantee of the alliance between the two companies. Anyone who pushes for the war will become the enemy of the two major families, and it may be nothing during the war, but when the war is over, it will be found that they also have enemies of the same level in the Tang Dynasty. ”
Chu Jungui frowned slightly, "Such a big thing as ending the war is just put on the marriage of two young people? Don't you think this is a little unreasonable? Have you asked their wishes?"
Li Ruobai was a little surprised by Chu Jungui's reaction, and then said with a wry smile: "This is very common, even if it is me, most of the people will obey the family's arrangements in the future, if I don't meet the right person." Besides, what you encounter is not necessarily more suitable than the family arrangement, and if you look at the entire marriage cycle, the basic family arrangement is the best arrangement. ”
Chu Jungui shook his head, instinctively a little disgusted, he couldn't tell where this disgust came from, he just said: "Even if our choice is not so good, it is our own choice, and we will naturally take responsibility." Why do you have to arrange it?"
Li Ruobai also sighed and said, "You don't understand, some old guys like to point fingers, saying that they don't want to see young people take detours." When you encounter it later, you'll understand. ”
