The addition of nearly one hundred and fifty Pirate Flag fighters made Base 2 suddenly overcrowded.

Colonel Roland is responsible for instructing the Pirate Banner Warriors on how to link to the remote-controlled gun turret, as well as how to use the various models of Alien equipment in the base.

Middleton was responsible for cleaning up the wreckage of the landing ship and recovering the equipment that could be used inside. However, the recovery effect is not ideal, and most of the equipment has lost its effectiveness after being exposed to the environment of Planet Four. These devices are too sophisticated to work here in the first place, and the additional protective layer is clearly insufficient.

In the end, there are basically dozens of devices that can barely be used, all of which are metal processing and other equipment that does not have too many high-precision chips embedded in them. Moreover, their service life has been greatly shortened, and it seems that they can only be used normally for more than ten days in a highly corrosive and high-radiation environment.

The current Base 2 simply does not have the spare time to build a fully enclosed plant similar to the home planet's environment, and these equipment can only wear out their limited lifespan dramatically.

Lin Xi and Chu Jungui had long concluded that in an extreme environment like Planet Four, the traditional scientific and technological systems of the Tang Dynasty and the Federation were almost useless, and perhaps only some freaks who took extreme routes on the community side could adapt to survive.

Here, almost all metal materials cannot withstand environmental corrosion, and it is simply unrealistic to make these materials into survival armor, and the cost will be unbearable.

Only all kinds of equipment and materials based on the raw materials of this planet are the basis for survival here.

The Shadow Fortress built by the lancers has been struggling under the onslaught of beast tides, and they have no time to think about deeper issues. In the case of a steady stream of material assistance, there is really no need to develop a series of biomass equipment with seriously backward performance.

The pirate flag had a similar idea at first, but judging from the equipment they carried, Chu Jungui smelled a hint of conspiracy.

Looking at the rapid spread of corrosion marks on one piece of equipment, Middleton's face was also very ugly. As the commander of the Pirate Flag Special Forces, how could he not see the mystery inside?

After all the equipment was collected and counted, Middleton came to Heatherway and whispered, "Miss, something is wrong. The equipment provided to us by the fleet simply cannot be used in such an environment. If we land safely, I'm afraid it will be a bit reluctant to even establish an initial base. Without sufficient follow-up supplies, we may not be able to sustain ourselves for three days. ”

Heather looked slightly calm, and said, "Who do you think did it? Lancer or Pirate Flag?"

"Originally, I thought that the information given to us by the lancers must have been misleading. But now I think that maybe the information they gave was not wrong, but the data we got was wrong. ”

"Go on. ”

"The development of the landing equipment catalog is based on planetary data. I also looked at the equipment catalog at the time, and there was not much problem on the surface. Even if we find out that something is wrong after we land, we will only think that the reason is that the information we got is wrong. But in retrospect, there was a problem with the equipment itself. ”

Heather's eyes narrowed slightly, and she nodded her chin and motioned for him to continue.

"We have too many devices that use metals, and too many devices that use advanced chips. ”

"You're saying that some devices could have had better options?"

"Yes, miss. The most typical example is the planetary research master we brought along. It's state-of-the-art, performs impeccably, and provides enhanced protection against harsh environments. However, precisely because it is so advanced and very sensitive to the environment, even a strong defense will not be able to withstand the electromagnetic storm of this planet. I've just looked at its core and it's completely melted inside. And if we bring a masterbrain with two levels of inferior performance, its core will be much smaller and less sensitive to the environment, and if we double the protection, we may be able to use it. Take the Carboniferous, for example. ”

Heather shook his head slightly and said, "It's not enough to reduce the core performance by two grades, the Carboniferous is not good at all, maybe the Ordovician is about the same." ”

"Ordovician? that's an antique from 90 years ago, right?" but Middleton realized the offense, bowed slightly, and said, "Sorry, I don't know much about technology. ”

Heather asked, "Your area of expertise should be on the battlefield." Speaking of which, what about the weapons and equipment we carry?"

Middleton thought for a moment before saying, "It's usable for the time being, but it's still not used to the environment here." There will be no problems for the first 48 hours, but after 72 hours the failure rate will increase significantly. It is expected that around ten home planet days, most weapons will be unusable. ”

Heather frowned slightly and asked, "When will the first batch of supplies arrive?"

"Ninety-six hours after we landed, it was four home planet days. ”

Heather sneered slightly, "It doesn't seem that Bu's bureau is going to die! ”

"If it's a mortal situation, we should be able to see it, and it will leave a mark afterwards," Middleton said. ”

Heather's smile grew colder and colder, and she said, "You're wrong, they didn't want me to leave alive at all. ”

Middleton was taken aback and asked, "This...... Unlikely, right?"

"I thought they wouldn't dare do that, but when I came here and watched the preparations of the two agents, I suddenly understood what those people meant. ”

After a pause, Heather said: "According to the existing equipment and base construction ideas, even if there is a follow-up material supplement, we will not be able to support it for long." Don't forget, we order supplies less often than the Lancers. Our consumption will be far greater than replenishment, and before the second replenishment, we will be swallowed by the beast tide. Look at what those two agents did, they were completely based on the materials of the planet, and developed equipment and weapons from scratch, so even if there were no supplies at all, they were able to gain a foothold here, and even we became their prisoners. ”

"Miss, even if we can't support it, I think the legion will definitely send the only strategic-class transport ship down to pick you up. ”

Heather snorted slightly, and said coldly, "What will happen after you go back? Will you go back with the defeat of the whole army? This is exactly what they want." If I have to bear such a disgrace, then what difference does it make between me living and dying?"

Middleton shook his head and said, "Miss, you're not right. You're not even 20 years old this year, and you still have great plans and endless possibilities. Which of those famous generals in the history of the Federation has never lost a war? As long as people are alive, the war will not end. ”
