Oasis No. 8.

Li Ke, who was sleeping in the palace, suddenly received a communication request from the rear.

"What? Maternal sample found?!"

Hearing this, he was a little confused a second ago and instantly sobered up.

Due to the limited distance and endurance factors, the communication drone can only last up to 20 minutes in the sky over Oasis 8.

He had to make a long story as short as possible.

"Whose sample is there?"

The man in the communication channel continued.

"In the hands of the Beacon Squad. They sent a message to the nearest cell tower in the swamp by emergency means, but they were temporarily unable to be reached by the Investigation Division due to the loss of a mobile base station during the operation. ”

Researchers attach great importance to the ownership of intellectual property, which is not only an honor, but also a matter of promotion.

When assigned to a specific operation, the Investigation Division's containment planning team is required to report information to their immediate superiors, and is not allowed to report to a higher level or leak information to unrelated persons outside the project team on their own initiative.

It's the rule, and it's taboo.

There is, however, one exception.

That is, when the exploration team unexpectedly loses the channel of direct communication with the superior, with reference to the "priority preservation principle", the important information can be reported to the department at the next level that can receive the message, and then the department at the higher level will convey the message.

All actions and measures taken by the Beacon Squad are in full compliance with the rules and regulations of the Academy.

However, the trouble is that this news should have been reported to the CTO by himself, and now the researchers with a little energy are probably aware of the existence of the mutant matrix.

This will be a problem for him, who was the first to discover this credit.

Especially since the test tube is not in his hands, I'm afraid there will be a lot of researchers willing to exchange it from the hands of the Beacon team.

It's just too easy to buy off a couple of prospectors.

No prospector can resist the temptation to become a researcher by simply letting them put their names on a few papers, or simply letting them publish a few research results in their own name.

It is also easy for students who are already researchers, and the opportunities they desire to advance are as many as corporate banknotes in the major laboratories of the Research Division.

With his index finger lightly tapping on his knee, Li Ke frowned and cursed in a low voice.

"Action...... The order I gave them was to follow those people, what did they plan without permission?"

The man on the other end of the communication channel said helplessly.

"According to them, they did follow the coalition all the time and maintained a safe distance of five kilometers...... But the people of the alliance and the enterprise sneaked up on them. ”

Li Ke said angrily.

"They have drones, how can they be sneak attacked by people from alliances and enterprises"

A hesitant voice was heard in the communication channel.

"This ...... I don't know, but according to them, they repelled the attackers of the Alliance and the Enterprise during the operation, and took the opportunity to snatch the previously captured team members, and managed to escape with the trucks and parent tissue fragments they had stolen from the Alliance. ”

Li Ke closed his eyes and thought for a long time, and said slowly.

"Okay, I see."

"Then ...... this?"

"Wait until they get back."

He didn't mind buying that sample with three papers worth 10,000 points and a D-class result, which would also be counted as compensation for their casualties.

If you don't know each other.

Then give them an A-class or S-class relic to do......"

In a college without currency, scores are everything.

The assessment score (K score) determines the rating, and the reward score (G score) can be used to redeem consumer goods to improve life, purchase research equipment, invest in equipment for exploration teams, and so on.

Completing the assessment is a researcher's top priority of the year.

Regardless of whether it is a grade A or a C, only by completing this year's KPI indicators can you ensure that you can get sufficient or excess "funding" - that is, reward points in the coming year, and produce enough K points to ensure that you continue to stay in your current position.

And if you want to advance, the assessment score alone is not enough, you have to queue up until the Year of the Monkey.

To demonstrate that they are entitled to additional resources and intelligence, researchers must submit sufficient research results.

Take, for example, the largest number of D-class prospectors.

According to the rules of the college, if E- and D-level explorers want to become regulars, in addition to passing at least one professional skill assessment, they also need to designate students with C-level or above researchers.

A C-level researcher can take a maximum of three students, and no new students are allowed to be recruited until the student reaches the level of C-class researcher.

And to get from E or D to C, it will take ten or five years to get to the bottom without resources.

Although the original intention of this rule was to allow the tutor to devote his or her efforts to a limited number of students, since a tutor who had already recruited three students would hardly be a licker, most C-class researchers with ordinary backgrounds would choose their students very carefully.

If they are not accepted by their mentor, D-Class Explorers can only become D-Class Researchers through fully signed D-Class results.

When this rule was first established, it wasn't too difficult to meet this condition, and there were plenty of opportunities in the wasteland waiting for them to exploit it.

However, as more and more ruins were excavated, it was even more difficult to find a D-class technology that was not included in the academy by relying on the remaining database and map information.

It's like the only achievement that hasn't been unlocked at the end of the game, maybe it's not very rare, but it just can't be unlocked for a week.

And to be able to develop a new technology on its own and be judged as a D-class is even more difficult for an explorer with neither the resources nor the background.

Otherwise, the status of an academy researcher would have been as inflationary as the banknotes of corporations.

However, although it is difficult for researchers without roots to obtain assessment scores and research results, it is not difficult for academic powers with their own laboratories and research teams.

After more than 100 years of development, they have long figured out a set of ways to steadily produce "K scores" and results below D level.

This includes, but is not limited to, splitting a technology into an infinite number of sub-technologies that meet the D-level evaluation, or innovating N useful but less useful improvements for a recovered technology.

Not to mention, the Department for Foreign Affairs and the Department of the Interior have adapted a set of "evaluation criteria" that have nothing to do with research.

For example, a B-class researcher is currently working on the "War Mediation" project.

Even if it is not as expected, as long as the result of mediation is within the bottom line, then the level is also a C-level result.

D-class results can be produced, and E, F, and G can also be mass-produced, but a C-class achievement is still worth the efforts of B-class researchers.

After all, if he can achieve significant results that the CTO expected, he may even get a B grade!

And if he has enough experience accumulation, or has the support of family background, or a little bit of both, maybe he can go further to the A level!

At the A level, it is basically the core management of the college, and the CTO who directly serves the conclusion doctor is only the S level.

This is also the reason why the B-class researcher who witnessed Xiao Yu was reluctant to mutate the mother and couldn't let go of the work at hand.

Chu Guang didn't know the name of the B-class researcher who gave the mission to the Beacon Team, nor did he know what the guy was plotting about.

He only relied on a series of clues such as his experience as a dog planner, as well as the trajectory of the "reindeer" tracked vehicle, the "confession" of an E-class female prospector, and the intelligence about the royal family of the golden lizard collected by the battlefield atmosphere team during the journey......

First of all, a certain mid-level and high-ranking member of the academy went to Oasis 8, presumably for the purpose of instructing the high-level to mediate the war in Luoxia Province.

According to the description of the edge paddling, he heard similar rumors during his time in the Great Rift Valley, where the top of the academy expressed their displeasure with the inaction of the Great Rift Valley about the Lost Valley nuclear bomb, and the people in the Great Rift Valley said "it's my business".

Strictly speaking, according to the contract of a hundred years ago, the province of Luoxia, which served for the post-war reconstruction committee, should be within the sphere of influence of the Great Rift Valley.

It's just that after the Great Rift Valley fostered the unreliable agent of the Bugra Free State, it obviously didn't want to care about the troubles in the wasteland anymore, and became a large refuge under the holy shield in An'an, and even passively ignored the "Bone Chewing Rebellion" that happened under his nose.

If the Great Rift Valley does not intend to intervene in the situation in Luoxia Province, and the academy is unwilling to give up the Golden Lizard Kingdom, a vassal with rich grain production, then it will inevitably send a middle-level and high-level figure with the right to speak to Luoxia Province to mediate.

The C level is too low, the A level is too high to put yourself in danger, and the middle and high-level people who come can only be B-level.

Coincidentally, that's where it happened.

Xiao Yu, who was piloting the "Dragonfly" transport plane, and the little brother it collected in the air happened to glide to the edge of the swamp together after Luo Yu.

It is impossible for such a big movement to be invisible to the survivors in the swamp, and if it is a survivor settlement under the Science and Technology Committee, it will inevitably be reported to the academy in the depths of the swamp.

Once the incident is attributed to the "aftermath of the war", it is reasonable to hand it over to the "suspected B-class researcher" who went to Luoxia Province to mediate the war.

Xiao Yu's fruiting body was then seen by the B-class researcher, and a Beacon team was dispatched to retrieve it.

Chu Guang could even boldly speculate that if the pilot of the "Sabre" fighter was still alive, he would be pinched by the academy as a bargaining chip now.

After discovering that the Matrix was in the hands of the Enterprise, in order not to affect the primary task of "mediating the war", the B-class researcher chose to adopt a cautious strategy and did not launch the Golden Lizard Kingdom to intercept the Enterprise and the Alliance's team at all costs.

Of course, it is also possible that the Golden Lizard Kingdom succumbed to the Alliance's deployment of troops in Luoxia Province and rejected the suzerain's request under pressure.

Maybe that's just a coincidence.

Even Chu Guang, who had made the whole thing clear, felt a little crying and laughing.

Of course, what surprised Chu Guang even more was Lao Bai.

"You kidnapped their researcher back???"

"Ahem, it's the Prospector...... And it wasn't us who turned back, we had already left her next to the truck, and she came with her on her own initiative. ”

Looking at the stunned managers on the holographic screen, Lao Bai explained awkwardly, and even used the word "we" to pull the good brothers to share the output.

ACCORDING TO FANG CHANG, THIS MATTER IS ACTUALLY VERY SIMPLE, PURELY BECAUSE THE FAVORABILITY HAS REACHED THE JUDGMENT STANDARD, TRIGGERING THE HIDDEN BRANCH LINE OUTSIDE THE MAIN LINE - "ACADEMY EXPLORER DEFECTION EVENT"

But it's probably useless to talk to NPCs about this.

He remembers reading Raven's complaint on the forum a long time ago, and if he asked the manager directly, "Hey, how much is my favorability", the answer he got was only a poker-faced sentence "I don't have that kind of setting" or "I'm not that kind of person".

However, according to the hints of the dog planner on the forum, the hidden setting of favorability obviously exists, but the NPC itself does not know.

Fearing that the Administrators would suspect her motives for defecting to the Coalition because they did not know what was going on, they even arrested her as a prisoner or sent her to a prisoner of war camp.

Looking at the manager behind the holographic screen, Lao Bai said cautiously.

"Dear Administrator...... I don't think you need to worry too much about an abandoned E-Class Prospector, the Academy doesn't know she's still alive, and she doesn't have a reason to continue her allegiance to the Academy. And her knowledge and experience are exactly what the alliance needs. "

When he said this, he admitted that he was a little selfish.

But this is not the intention of the kid in the night ten, he is not the kind of person who follows the facial features with three views, and he has no thoughts about that aspect at all. "

If Zhao Xiao stayed, he would also intercede for that young man.

As for the reason, it's simple.

It was out of trust in him and out of yearning for the alliance in his mouth that she chose to give up her original identity and stay. He simply didn't want to live up to that trust, and he didn't want a person who longed for the alliance to be disappointed in the alliance.

It doesn't matter if he is simple-minded, the brain cells in the game are deviated by the muscles, and he doesn't have such a meticulous mind as Fang Chang, and many times he just wants to have an idea.

If Ms. Chen really did something detrimental to the Alliance, or was a spy sent by the Academy, he would not hesitate to bring her to justice.

But if she didn't do anything, she was just disposed of casually because of suspicion......... He couldn't take it.

Looking at Lao Bai on the holographic screen, Chu Guang couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Speaking of which, this was the first time he had seen such a "cautious" expression on this guy's face.

Although he has not seen the photos of Lao Bai in reality, this pure man who chooses the order in black seconds, eats chicken and must jump to P City, and faces it with a smile no matter how many times he kneels, has always been the image of "three-second real man" Tedamir in his mind.

This statement may be too abstract, and it would be much more figurative to replace it with the winter swimmer monster pigeon Ollie.

In short, this hesitant expression should not be on this face.

The corners of Chu Guang's mouth curled up into an imperceptible smile.

Only......

Let's play with him.

"You're thinking too much, an E-class prospector isn't worth my suspicions." Raising his chin slightly, Chu Guang looked down at the player in front of him, "Hold your head and chest up, I won't blame you for your selfishness, but the hesitation on your face makes me wonder if your loyalty is reliable." ”

Lao Bai hurriedly explained with a smile.

"I didn't mean that--"

"Whether there is or not," Chu Guang interrupted him and continued in an undeniable tone, "Your state is not suitable to continue to stay on the front line, I order you to leave the war zone, take the flight of Luo Yu back to the Dawning City Army Headquarters to report, and rest locally for three days, this is your punishment." ”

After a pause, Chu Guang slowed down his speech, looked at this good brother who regarded himself as an NPC, and continued in a serious tone.

"Regardless of their lineage and origin, whether they are Willantes, researchers in the swamps, wandering scavengers, even former enemies, as long as they are willing to unite under the banner of the Alliance from the bottom of their hearts, we will treat them as equals...... You are the commander of the Alliance, and others can have scruples and prejudices, but you should not doubt our course. ”

Lao Bai couldn't look him in the eye for a moment, and said ashamedly.

"Yes." Weird.

It's obviously a game, and he doesn't know why he's so deep into the play, is it because of the "talent" of the sequence? Looking at Lao Bai, who confessed his mistake, Chu Guang couldn't tease him anymore, and coughed lightly and continued.

"Don't be too burdened, you can just take a vacation and let that prospector go back with you. This is a war zone, and it wasn't supposed to be where she was supposed to be. If you have time, take her around and get to know our alliance...... There is no rush in the matter of work. ”

Boy.

It turned out that the hidden mission was triggered.

Lao Bai, who thought he had fallen out of favor, breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with his fists. "Yes!"

Three days is not a long time, so it should be considered a rotation.

Although he was reluctant to leave his brothers and return to the rear alone, he believed that with their ability, even if he didn't have himself, he could do things beautifully.

didn't know what Lao Bai was thinking at the moment, Chu Guang only thought that he understood his hard work, and hung up the communication with satisfaction.

Looking at the folded holographic screen, Chu Guang, who breathed a sigh of relief, finally didn't hold back his laughter.

"Hahahaha! Interesting!"

Looking at Chu Guang, who suddenly laughed, Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the pen holder, put his hands on his cheeks for some reason, and asked with great interest.

"It's like opening a trumpet and hanging a beautiful woman's avatar to pretend to be a senior sister chatting with a roommate?"

"Fuck off, who would do that kind of immoral thing."

Chu Guang glared at Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the edge of the pen holder, and stretched out his fingers to flick this mouthy figure into the pen holder. I can't remember if he did it. Campus life was a long time ago.

Pretending not to hear the clanging movement in the pen holder and the pitiful begging for mercy, Chu Guang leaned back comfortably in his chair.

The crash is over.

Although the troubles of the alliance are far from over, the impact of the Academy's sudden sideways kick on the situation in Luoxia Province is unknown. But that's what his existence as a manager is all about

He will lead this young alliance and show the old "fallen empires" their uncompromising bottom line and determination to fight to the end.

Chu Guang's gaze couldn't help but drift to the calendar on the corner of the table.

Maybe one day in the future, he will reveal a little bit of the inside story to the four good sons who have been caught up in the huge maelstrom of "Wasteland 0L" - such as the fact that Dawn in the game and Ah Guang on the forum are actually a person, and then admire the funny expressions on their faces.

But it's too early to tell. Even his own knowledge of the truth is only the tip of the iceberg.

The addition at the beginning of the month was put to the end of the month, but there were no pigeons.

1 second to remember:
