Chapter 7: The Galactic Garrison
"Jiang You, what's wrong with you." Qi Tian eagerly connected to Jiang You, but Jiang You ignored him, still operating the mecha and continuing to run forward.
……
"Jiang Wen, search carefully, if that long worm comes again today, if we are not prepared, it will really become their meal." In the wilderness more than a hundred kilometers away from Jiang You, two mecha with different appearances also appeared, and it was the one on the left who spoke.
"Uncle Ming, our last supplies are almost unsupportable." Jiang Wen said embarrassedly.
"That's why we have to be even more prepared, this time the dimensional void is so sudden, and the crack is bigger than before, we have to at least support it until the crack closes." Zhang Ming said solemnly.
"There's no specific time for the crack to close, and we don't know how long we'll have to stay here." Jiang Wen shook his head.
"Yes, it used to take only two or three months for the crack to close, but now more than two months have passed, and the crack has no sign of closing." Zhang Ming frowned and looked at the static wind tunnel in the distance, it turned out to be the so-called dimensional void.
"But you are also content, the dimensional void brings not only a crisis, but also more resources, you will not only have actual combat progress here, but also get some rare treasures, the so-called wealth and danger in the pursuit of this is probably the truth." Zhang Ming said bitterly.
Although Jiang Wen has some young people's irritability, he is usually quite modest and studious, and he is more able to endure hardships, otherwise he would not choose to come to guard this desolate snake star, Zhang Ming still has some praise for the young man in his early twenties.
"But this is obviously just an asteroid at the edge of the galaxy, and the Galaxy Alliance has given up on developing it, so why send people to garrison here." Jiang Wen asked the doubts that had been buried in his heart.
"Xiaowen, look at things often don't be so utilitarian, it's true that the Galaxy Alliance has given up on development, but it is not that it has given up on this planet, even if this planet is deserted, there are still a certain number of aborigines, although the Galaxy Alliance has provided immigration convenience for these aborigines, but some of them are still unwilling to leave for various reasons."
"So the Galaxy Alliance established a survival base here, allowing the local people to move into it, and due to the dimensional void and the special local climate, the Galaxy Alliance sent Xi and the Federation and the Hubble Federation to regularly send troops to conduct surveys, which is also a kind of protection for the local people." Zhang Ming looked at Jiang Wenyu and said earnestly, and the atmosphere became heavy unconsciously.
Jiang Wen thought thoughtfully: "Is this the treatment on all such backward planets?" ”
"No, only planets with scientific research value will send troops and scientific research teams, but most of the rest of the planets will have some resources to help, and this is not something we should worry about." Zhang Ming shook his head and looked at the rolling yellow sand in the distance.
"Relief? There can be as many as possible, resources are limited, but the backward planets don't know how many, and how many can be like the snake star, isn't this a kind of utilitarianism? Jiang Wen shook his head and said a word.
The people of the Snake Star have been protected by the Galaxy Alliance, but Lingchuan Star does not, relying only on the relief of the Galaxy Alliance, such a dangerous mining area can only rely on a few eliminated "black skins", the law is unknown, and human life is careless, this is the true face of many backward planets.
Zhang Ming was choked by these words, and he couldn't say anything, he just shook his head and sighed, he didn't know what the Galaxy Alliance was doing, but he was powerless to change it, and he didn't want to guide Jiang Wen with such a thought, but who would have thought that Jiang Wen would say it himself.
"By the way, Uncle Ming, you just said that the Hubble Federation also has troops here?" Jiang Wen may have also noticed that the atmosphere at this time was a little heavy, so he opened his mouth to change the topic.
"That's right, the Snake Star is not the territory of the Xihe Federation, but exists as the common property of the Galaxy Alliance, the Xihe Federation and the Hubble Federation have only obtained the right to scientific research and survey, but the base of the Hubble Federation is at the other end of the dimensional void, and they have no survival base there, it is a pure scientific research center." Zhang Ming said slowly, but there seemed to be something different in his words.
"Why is that?" Jiang Wen wondered.
"Because the mind ......"
"Thoughts?"
"That's right, the Hubble Federation puts its own interests first, and believes that it is extremely wasteful to set aside excess energy and resources to feed a group of refugees, while Xi and the Federation are different in putting the highest interests of the people first, doing the greatest resources to relieve the aborigines, and assigning jobs to them in the base, although this has led to a sharp increase in the consumption of garrison funds, but also attracted a lot of fresh blood to join the federal army." Zhang Ming explained slowly.
"I see." Jiang Wen sighed and said, whether Xi and the Federation's approach was correct, he didn't know what to say.
After Zhang Ming finished speaking, he fell into silence, this kind of ideological discord has been deeply rooted between the two sides, although they both belong to the Galaxy Alliance, but the friction between the Hubble Federation and the Xihe Federation is increasing day by day, and the undercurrent within the Federation has long been surging, it is estimated that it will not be long before the war will come as promised.
"Dididi" The detector on Jiang Wen's mecha suddenly sounded.
Zhang Ming's face changed: "Is it that group of long worms?" ”
"It doesn't seem to be, only a single moving object has been detected, and it is moving due west at a speed of 100 km/h." Jiang Wen looked at the pop-up information box and said to Zhang Ming.
Zhang Ming breathed a sigh of relief: "Then it's not a sandworm, the sandworm is a swarm demonic beast, and their average speed is far from reaching this point, that direction should be the mecha of the subbase......"
Zhang Ming's tone paused and then said slowly: "Even if it's a mecha, it's too fast, our mecha can only accelerate to 80 km/h at the earliest, this Hubble won't be buying any agile mecha, but what can the agile mecha be for fighting sandworms, I don't know what they think." Zhang Ming shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Let's go, it's time to go back, it seems that there is nothing abnormal around, there should be nothing wrong." Zhang Ming turned his head and said to Jiang Wen.
"Hmm." Jiang Wen turned around and walked in the direction of the base with Zhang Ming.
……
"Jiang You! Stop it! Qi Tian found that Jiang You's mental power had not only improved, but also his fit with the mecha was slowly improving, and he had no way to directly cut off the authority at this time, but Jiang You was delirious at this time, and it was not easy to stop.
Directly ahead, it is about to enter the strike range of the sub-base, and if you rush over like this, you may be directly regarded as an intruder, and the nature is completely different from panicking. Jiang You is estimated to be beaten into a sieve.
At this time, the subbase is inside.
"Luoer, look closer, if you don't stop those bed bugs this time, we will have to be exploited by Xi and those imbeciles, and you should also go to bury them at that time." Frange said to a middle-aged man with a tired look that in front of them was a huge three-dimensional sand table, but there was not a trace of fluctuation on the sand table at this time.
"Got it." The middle-aged man, known as Lore, replied impatiently.
"Haha, that's good, I'll go see the slave girl that Boroch brought back from the black market, and if it's appropriate, I'll give you some soup to drink." Frang smiled wickedly and patted Lore on the shoulder.
"I will definitely complete the task seriously." As soon as Lore heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he licked his lips and reassured, he also knew about the slave girl, even if it was placed in the black market, it was considered a high-end product, and it was said that he was still a Xihe person, if he could try it, tsk, the taste was really wonderful, after all, it was difficult to taste the slightest bit of meat for months on this planet where birds don't.
Lore looked at the sand table that was not moving, and sleepiness hit his eyelids.
The "bang" directly frightened Lore from his chair, and a bone fell to the ground, and the sound came from the periphery of the base, and it felt like the entire base shook violently.
It won't be that group of bugs, I didn't find out that I wouldn't be with the funeral this time, but there was no reaction on this sand table, fine sweat oozed from Luoer's forehead, and in a hurry, he pressed the alarm first, and soon the rapid alarm sounded throughout the base.
"Lore is such an idiot...... "Frang was called back by the siren before he could reach the capsule, and he ran out and got into a mech, when a second impact sounded.
Frange in the mecha directly broadcast Lore's spiritual source, and scolded: "What's the matter? Wait for the whole base to be buried for you. As soon as Lore was frightened by this alarm, he immediately withered, and there was a fire in his heart, and he vented it to Lore in one go.
"Wait, this is not a bug, if it was a bug, the self-defense system would have been activated a long time ago." Lore said cautiously, and directly calmed down Frange.
"What's that?" Frange asked.
"It looks like a Xihe mecha." Lawne said tentatively.
"Xi and mecha? I knew that I wouldn't have set the lock range of the self-defense system only to sandworms, and now that this has happened, it's a lot of money to repair it. Frange was particularly distressed.
"It's not to prevent accidental injury...... "Before Lore finished speaking, the third impact sound sounded again, and then the entire base shook directly, and then the outer wall collapsed with a "peng"! Then, a fourth crash sounded, the sound of the inner wall being struck, and then the automatic hardening of the inner wall was activated.
"These Xi and monkeys are really looking for trouble." Frang took a sip, but his hands moved rapidly, and then a pair of wings spread out behind the mech he was piloting.
Yes, it's a pair of wings, the light blue mecha spits out the desert camouflage paint, but this pair of wings is particularly eye-catching, and the moment it unfolds, it covers the sky and the sun, and the bent joints drive the wings of the mecha to slowly fanf, and the mecha rises from the ground like this, and a big B is written on its chest, which is the lower-level angel of the Hubble Federation Bible Baibo Mecha Group - the Archangel Mecha.
