Chapter 124 and so on

Two locomotives approached Base 2 at high speed. On the nearest unfinished satellite base, several gun towers simultaneously reoriented and aimed at the approaching locomotive. But after seeing the style of the locomotive and the rider on it, the turrets returned to their original positions and continued to point to the distant skyline.

Chu Jungui and Rose swept past the satellite base one after the other and sailed towards the main base. In the open space between the bases, two soldiers are operating a tractor, stacking standard 2 cubic meter cargo boxes together. The cargo boxes are all pre-treated war beast biomaterials, waiting for the next process.

Chu Jungui and Rose stopped outside the gate of the main base and threw the locomotive aside. Rose went to do things, and Chu Jungui passed through the gate of the base and came to the underground production space.

As soon as you enter the production space, a deafening roar of machines hits your face. The volume of a single device is not that loud, but with hundreds of various devices gathered in an enclosed underground space, the aggregate volume is quite terrifying.

Chu Jungui turned on the sound insulation function of the battle armor, walked through the production area, and came to a corner near the wall. A short man was busy in front of several devices.

"Theon?" asked Chu Jungui.

The man glanced back, didn't put down his work, and said, "It's me." ”

"How's it going, have you got any results from the lizardmon's acid analysis?"

"If it's just about the result, that's it. But the real result, no. ”

"Is there any problem?" asked Chu Jungui.

Theon raised his head and said, "Isn't the problem obvious? What results can be analyzed by just relying on these organic matter detectors? Look at this latest test report, what is written on it." Unknown Matter 8%! All the keys are hidden in these 8%. ”

"8%?" Chu Jungui frowned, "The previous test report showed that the unknown substance was only 5%. I'm afraid our previous conjecture was right, these lizardbeasts have evolved again. ”

Theon said, "Are we really dealing with a natural tide of beasts, rather than a large, advanced biological weapons factory?"

Chu Jungui smiled and said, "If it's really a biological weapon factory, then it's fine." ”

"That's right. Only those guys with bad brains will spend their blood to research biological weapons. Theon agreed.

Chu Jungui pointed to an instrument in front of him that he had never seen before, and asked, "What is this?"

"I designed a detector myself, and the performance is just like that, after all, only biochips can be used here, and we all know how bad the performance of biochips is. Hopefully, this detector will be able to reduce the unknown components to less than 1% so that it will make sense. ”

Theon stopped what he was doing, stared at Chu Jungui, and said, "So, can my laboratory be in the front row?"

Chu Jungui smiled bitterly, "Your position is high enough." ”

"But not yet. Theon didn't budge.

"You know, everybody says the same thing to me. Some of them were brought to me by Hathaway. Chu Jungui continued to smile bitterly.

Theon was furious, "It must be Ramos's bastard! Only he can do such a dirty thing! I tell you, you must not listen to him! What new form of energy does not matter at all, just pile up hundreds of pulp engines? But the results of my research have an immediate effect on improving survivability! There is nothing more reassuring than a reliable armor plate. ”

"Okay, I know, I'll think about it. Also, I'd like you to adjust the order of your research so that how to store these acids safely is the first priority. ”

"Acid bomb, I see. But that thing didn't really do much. ”

Chu Jungui ignored Theon's verbosity and hurried away. Most of these scientists are virtuous and value laboratories and equipment more than their own lives. In order to strive for more and better equipment and experimental environments, they did not hesitate to abuse and attack each other.

If Chu Jungui has the conditions, of course, he hopes to meet everyone's requirements at the same time. But the problem is that survival is the first priority now, and some projects that cannot directly improve combat effectiveness have to be put back.

Theon is the only biologist and chemist at the same time. Originally, there were three alien biologists in the Pirate Banner, but only two died in the crash.

Chu Jungui and Lin Xi attach great importance to Theon, after all, biologists are far more useful than material scientists on Planet 4, and the most useless ones are mainly in the electromagnetic direction.

Chu Jungui walked quickly to the stairs, all the way up, to the top of the base.

Hathaway was standing by a gun tower, staring into the distance. At Base 2, she's the only one who doesn't have to work, as long as her chip isn't idle.

Chu Jungui came to her and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"The last missile swarm flew from that direction. I'm wondering, how far can these living missiles go?"

Chu Jun was stunned, and then understood what she meant. Missiles need fuel, while living things need physical strength. There is no living form that can fly endlessly without resting, and even if there is, it is in space, and it cannot be these living missiles. In fact, the way the Living Missile propels is quite peculiar, and it should be quite physically demanding, much more expensive than the Turberd.

For aerial creatures, the most labor-saving is naturally anti-gravity, followed by levitation, and then wings, and the form of jet propulsion is fast, but not economical.

Chu Jungui's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "I understand, their range should be limited. ”

"Maybe the lair of the war beast isn't too far from us," said Heatherway. ”

"That's not good news. ”

"Not necessarily. They can attack us, and we can attack them as well. It would be interesting if its nest was less than 500 kilometers away from us. The little princess's eyes gleamed dangerously.

"That's too dangerous. Without a fortress, we can't win the beast tide in the wild. Chu Jungui did not agree.

"We can immediately send troops after the next beast tide is over, and go straight to their lair to see what is hidden there. ”

Chu Jungui silently deduced the whole process in his heart, still shaking his head: "There are too few of us, and there are no chariots and mechas. As long as we encounter a scattered tide of C-class beasts on the road, we can't deal with it. ”

"What then? Are we going to be beaten all the time?"

"We can wait. ”

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for the lancers of the Shadow Fortress, or wait for your separate landing base to send troops to fight us. ”

The little princess was stunned, "And then?"

"Then we'll have enough men and equipment to go and see what's inside the nest. ”
