After a long wait, a new wave of beasts was belated, and once again failed to erase the traces of human existence from the face of the earth.

Shadow of Doom Fortress, Kyle looked at the damage report and said with a wry smile: "It's not like I haven't been on the battlefield before, but I always feel that casualties are just numbers." Now I know that 500 people who were torn apart by the beast were very different from 500 people who were instantly vaporized by energy weapons. ”

"500 is a lot, but it's not much. If you saw our previous battles, you wouldn't say that. Anyway, the next thing you have is time to adapt. Joseph said.

William asked the adjutant, "What is the progress of the research on the new generation of transport ships? The loss of one or two transport ships at a time is too great. Also, regarding the fact that on the planet's surface, the level of intelligence will be reduced, is there any result for the Legion Research Center?"

The adjutant flipped through the records and said: "The preliminary design of the new transport ship has been completed, and the new design is equipped with a layer of special armor for anti-ion that can be shed, and the preliminary calculation will increase the survival rate of the transport ship to more than 90 percent." ”

"Preliminary calculations?" Joseph sneered, "What kind of data did they use to calculate it? These are the same guys who said they had a 100% pass rate when they first landed. ”

Herman next to him was a little embarrassed, the researchers in these research centers were all his colleagues after all.

"What about reduced intelligence?" William digressed.

"The research center said that they did not have the means to study the planet's surface in orbit, and suggested that the planetary surface research center should study it on its own. ”

Herman's face darkened suddenly. With such a great decline in intelligence, and the lack of almost all the instruments for research, what else can be studied? Philosophy, or politics, or metaphysics?

William was not angry at all, thought for a moment, and said: "I feel the need to organize another fire reconnaissance. This time it's best to go to the beast's nest and have a look. As a rule of thumb, we should approach the nest a day later, and when we do, the base should launch a wave of missile strikes. Even if there is any danger in the nest, we can retreat in time. ”

"Agreed. Joseph did not hesitate.

Kyle shrugged, "Why don't we stay inside the fortress instead of venturing outside?"

"The result of staying at home is to look at the missiles and grow their eyes. William dispelled all controversy in a single sentence.

At base 2, Lin Xi came to the research area of Le Mans and pushed the door in.

In the lab, Le Mans is taking a big bite with a research report in one hand and a sandwich in the other.

Lin Xi was stunned, Le Mans was also stunned, his mouth opened wide, and the sandwich he had just bitten fell to the ground.

Lin Xi's eyes fell on the sandwich, and he saw two slices of whole-wheat bread, tuna sauce, and a fresh green vegetable leaf. Whatever it is, it shouldn't exist at Base 2.

"I, I'll eat something. Le Mans squeezed out a twisted smile and added, "Hungry." ”

Lin Xi nodded and looked at the laboratory.

Le Mans moved, then smiled wryly and stood honestly in place.

Lin Xi's eyes fell on an experimental cabinet with the door ajar, walked over, and opened the cabinet door.

Inside the cabinet was a mess of materials, covered with a shiny machine, apparently intended to block the machine with materials.

Lin Xi pushed the materials aside, looked at the machine, and said, "Food making machine?"

"Yes. ”

"I've never seen anything like this before. ”

"This is a special edition, a limited edition of the Cosmic Pioneer series based on Forest Food, and the design has been reworked to the finished work. It should never be seen in the market. ”

"Pioneer Limited Edition, I've heard of it. You can actually modify the design of forest food, what a talent. Lin Xi glanced at Le Mans.

Le Mans was a little energetic just now, and when Lin Xi glanced at it, it was like ice water pouring down from his head in an instant, and there seemed to be a flame burning on the soles of his feet. For a moment, he subconsciously wrung his hands, bit his lip, and was so nervous that his bald head was sweating, and all the remaining hair was glued to his skull.

Lin Xi looked at him with a smile and asked, "Since you improved it on the basis of the limited edition, what's so special about it?"

"This ......"

Say. ”

"Well, I'm really tired of the constant taste of the energy rations, which are too greasy, too salty, and have a fishy smell that is not pretty. So I'm going to build my own food machine, the taste is only slightly improved, but the color, shape and taste of the ingredients will be qualitative......ly improved!

Le Mans was so excited that he opened the door of his desk, and there were fresh vegetables such as greens and carrots. This ordinary cabinet, which seemed to be just used for documents, was secretly transformed into a fresh-keeping refrigerator by him. As for these vegetables, of course, they can't be grown, but made by food machines.

After opening the refrigerator, Le Mans realized that he had done something stupid again.

Lin Xi came to him, squatted down, picked up a few vegetables and looked at them, then picked a lettuce leaf and asked, "Is it clean?"

"Absolutely clean. "Le Mans is already dead-faced, but calm.

Lin Xi put the vegetable leaves in his mouth and chewed them gently. Although the real lettuce leaves should have a fresh fragrance of plants and trees, it should be considered that this is something processed by a food machine, and the raw materials are actually organic matter, mainly meat, which is rare.

It's just that under the fine taste, there is still a faint trace of fishiness, which is a slight fly in the ointment.

However, it is quite rare to be able to achieve this kind of taste.

Lin Xi was noncommittal and asked, "How is the research going?"

Le Mans was a spirit, and instantly realized that the chance to live had come, and immediately said: "There is considerable progress!"

Lin Xi raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, yes, what kind of progress is it?"

"There is progress in both research on Le Mans crystals and the new special giant rhinoceros!"

"Take a look. ”

Le Mans immediately sent several research reports. Lin Xi read carefully. These research reports are still only in the embryonic form, not to mention the concise and beautiful format, and even the complete structure is still lacking, obviously in the draft stage, and some are not even as good as the draft, but only put forward conjectures, and some are partially verified by the data.

However, Lin Xi can already infer from these first drafts that Le Mans is most likely on the right path and has achieved phased results. Indeed, as he said, there has been considerable progress in both series of experiments, and this bald man is not bragging.

After reading it, Lin Xi closed the report and said, "Le Mans, the progress is really good." However, I would like to remind you that these studies are not only about the prosperity of the base, but also about our life and death. ”

"Yes, yes, understood. ”

"About the food machine......

"I'll destroy it at once!" said Le Mans quickly.

Lin Xi shook his head: "No need, you can build another ten and put it in the living area." There are good things that should be shared by everyone. ”

Le Mans turned from surprise to joy and nodded desperately.

Lin Xi didn't say anything more and left the laboratory. If it weren't for the good progress of research just now, the fate of the food machine might have to change.
