The planetary night is not long compared to the day, but for humans who are accustomed to the time of the home planet's day, more than 20 hours of night is still a little longer.

Around Base 2, small clusters of light swayed, and it was the soldiers who turned on their armor's own lights and worked hard.

Lin Xi stood in the center of the base, looking at the constantly beating data on his personal terminal, and was carefully adjusting the plan. At this time, a red data appeared on the screen, and she immediately opened the communication channel and asked, "Jungui, what's wrong?"

Chu Jun replied: "It's nothing, there is a chip whose data is a little abnormal, and I am looking for the reason." ”

"Well, that's the last node. Once this is done, we can connect all the important production equipment to the network, so that we can have a real-time view of all the material production information. ”

Chu Jungui was underground at the No. 1 satellite base, dismantling a bunch of wiring, then removing the chip and replacing it with a new one. As he worked, he asked, "Why bother? I think statistics can be done by head." ”

"Not everyone is as perverted as you. Lin Xi said angrily, and then said: "Besides, now you can rely on memory to count, what about the future? When the equipment in our base increases to 1,000, 2,000, or even tens of thousands, can you still rely on memory to count? When you walk around, it will take you most of your time, right?"

"Why build tens of thousands of devices? We can build fewer, but bigger. ”

Lin Xi was speechless for a while, and then pointed out Chu Jungui's mistake, "Any large-scale equipment has a limit. In the Tang Dynasty, sometimes the whole planet is a factory, how many devices do you think there will be in such a planetary factory? 100 million, or a billion, or even more?"

Chu Jungui stopped talking, of course, at this time, he had already completed the work in hand, restarted the node chip, and connected all the equipment in the entire underground area to the network.

Lin Xi smiled as the new data began to flow. In her eyes, these are not only numbers, but also materials and strength, which are guarantees to leave here.

At that moment, a shadow crept across the light screen in her hand.

It's night, and the shadows are insignificant and fleeting. However, Lin Xi was an elite warrior herself, and the slightest strangeness could not escape her eyes. She immediately looked up and searched the air.

There was nothing unusual in the sky, but the thunder and lightning in the clouds seemed to be partially obscured by something. A vague shadow swept through the clouds and flew into the distance.

"Hurry up!" Lin Xi immediately connected the two nearby anti-air gun towers, and the huge sniper rifle raised its muzzle and aimed it at the clouds.

Chu Jungui jumped to the top floor, came to Lin Xi's side, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It looks like something flew over it. ”

Chu Jungui raised his head, his eyes kept changing color, and he switched more than ten modes in an instant, but he didn't see any messengers, winged beasts, or any other flying war beasts. There was also silence on the ground, and the lights showed that the fighters were hard at work and preparing for the next battle.

"Nothing!"

"It's flying in the clouds. Lin Xi said.

"In the ion storm cloud?" Chu Jungui was a little incredulous. The ion storm is not suitable for any living creatures, let alone living creatures, and even a piece of superalloy will eventually be split into ions by lightning if it stays in it for a long time.

But thinking about the strange ecology on this planet, Chu Jungui didn't dare to say that there must be nothing that could survive in the ion storm.

"What is it like, and in which direction is it flying?"

"I only saw a large shadow, about a few hundred meters in range, in the direction of the Shadow Fortress. ”

Chu Jungui pondered for a moment and said, "Our current firepower has no problem dealing with three or four C-level beast tides, and if we have more, it will be difficult." But according to the normal law of beast tides, we shouldn't see so many beast tides next time. Whatever that thing was, if it was going to attack the Shadow Keep, we shouldn't see it again. If it weren't for the attack on the Shadow Fortress, we wouldn't see it again. ”

"Will there be a B-class beast tide next time?"

"Possibly. We're preparing for that right now. ”

Lin Xi thought for a while and said, "But our firepower is still not enough, in case a brand new war beast appears, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to deal with it." ”

"What do you mean?"

"The Pirate Flag's landing module also has several usable fusion engines that can be turned into a powerful fusion bomb with a few modifications. ”

"Giant rhinoceros beasts are not afraid of nuclear explosions, and neither are the war beasts in the air. ”

"But the alien beasts and thorn-backed beasts are afraid! we need to clear out all the weak war beasts as soon as possible, and then concentrate our firepower on the big ones. ”

Chu Jungui nodded, "That makes sense." But we have to stay farther away, lest we blow up our own base. ”

"It's really blown up and rebuilt, and it doesn't take much time to rebuild a base now. Lin Xi said calmly, as if he was discussing an ordinary nuclear bomb.

Chu Jungui roughly calculated the transformation plan, and then said: "We can transform three miniature nuclear bombs with a yield of 2 tons." But to be honest, I don't think it's very useful. ”

"I think so, too, but something is better than nothing. I'd like to bury two of them in the route that the thing just came from, and have one for spare. ”

"Build a catapult, or just a cannon?"

"Cannon, if you don't fire this thing in the future, you can also fire other shells. ”

"The catapult is better, although the range is shorter, but at least there is no risk of exploding. We don't have that many high-quality alloys on our hands. ”

"Wouldn't it be enough to dismantle the pirate flag's survival pod?"

"Makes sense. ”

The two of you and I quickly discussed a plan. They don't think that they seem to have a tacit understanding with each other more and more.

As for those rescue pods, they were originally moved to the base, and after the power was turned on, they could be used as air-locks for rest. Lin Xi and Chu Jungui's new plan must be, and most of the pirate flag warriors have to sleep in armor again.

In the face of existential danger, a little welfare, sacrifice is also sacrifice.

At this moment, the chariot troops from the Shadow Fortress are tirelessly marching in. They had already walked this route once last time, and the terrain matching system had already stored all the terrain data, so the long-distance march would rely on autopilot for most of the time, and the burden would not be too heavy.

Inside the command car, Joseph and William sat opposite each other, staring at the holographic tactical map in front of them. All scans of the surrounding area will be displayed on this map.

At this moment, a red point of light suddenly appeared on the edge of the holographic map, flying at an astonishing high speed!
