Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 1493 Dawn Base (Congratulations to the cute master Qiu Feng)

Qu Jianlei did not react at all to the alliance's intensified offensive on the other side.

This information has been known for a long time, and the empire should have received the news long ago.

Xiao Hu was trying to find a solution to the locust carcasses. Qu Jianlei was quite interested. "Are they the ones I planned?"

The big-headed butterfly turned around, "Hmm, the most unlikely kind... a gathering array!"

Before leaving, Qu Jianlei planned multiple energy conversion directions for the lake.

Artificial intelligence is somewhat lacking in independent innovation, and he is used to setting the general direction first.

However, Qu Jianlei was not optimistic about using the corpses of locusts as energy for the Qi gathering array.

The energy content of locust corpses is indeed not low, but it is still not as pure as energy blocks, and it is also difficult to convert them.

The only advantage we have in this regard is our proficiency in the Qi Gathering Array and the Spirit Gathering Array.

In the process of calculating these two formations, a lot of experience has been accumulated.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Hu actually figured out a plan, but because he was not there, it was inconvenient to test it.

This guy is a person who strives for perfection. He never sits idle. He has now improved more than 300 plans.

There were many experiments to be done, and Qu Jianlei happened to have plans to go back to rest, so the regimental-level ship approached the channel again.

He did not inform the military about the matters in the Heim star field, but only reported some newly learned information.

In addition, he asked the military for a desolate planet for testing.

When the military heard the news, they were extremely happy. They were not afraid that Digital Phantom would make demands, but they were afraid that the other party would not make any demands.

They can infiltrate the enemy and gather information, and rescue more than 200 soldiers at the same time. Is there anyone more useful than them?
The military didn't even ask what they wanted to test. Instead, they asked directly how big a planet would be and what the parameter requirements were.
You can specify any location, and we can arrange it for you in the core circle!

The inner circle... Of course I won't go there, there are too many powerful people there.

Qu Jianlei was not worried about not being able to settle the matter, his main concern was that he didn't want to be disturbed.

So his requirement is that it doesn’t matter where the planet is, as long as it is about the same size as an ordinary habitable planet.

It is better to be a little remote, and the environment can be a little extreme - mainly to facilitate the versatility of the test project.

Another point is... the military can help with vigilance, but they are not allowed to investigate. Is this okay?
Of course, no problem! The military just wanted to confirm one thing - it should be the Empire's planet, not the Alliance's, right?
It must be the Empire's! Testing here in the Alliance, let alone whether there are ready-made planets, would also be easy to be exposed, right?

The military then reacted: Are you... planning to return home?

I need to go back and rest for a while! The fourth boss responded that our activities in the alliance have consumed a lot of energy.

This time, the regimental-level ship and experimental platform No. 2 left together.

When they arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Passage, the military sent a message immediately.

The planet is ready. There are three options in total. You can raise more questions if you are not satisfied.

Once the military gets serious, their efficiency is truly unmatched.

Without exception, although the three planets are desolate, they are all located in the inner circle of the star field.

Qu Jianlei chose a planet in the Thorn Star Region - mainly because there are enough universities and many rare materials here.

The Thorn Star Region is very developed, but this planet is indeed quite remote.

Without the coordinates, it would take nearly two months to fly there from Blessing Star.

When the regimental-level ships and experimental platform arrived at the planet, the garrison on the planet had just been withdrawn.

It turns out that this is a military base. They moved here directly when they knew that Digital Phantom was going to be used.

There aren't many troops stationed here, just a battalion-level unit, but this is a military training ground with a lot of basic equipment.

In addition to office areas, shooting ranges, dormitories, hospitals, canteens, and maintenance workshops, there are also training facilities such as tunnels.

The size and gravity of the planet are similar to those of an ordinary habitable planet, and it also has an atmosphere.

However, there is not much sunshine here and the climate is cold, with temperatures ranging from minus 80 to minus 40 degrees Celsius all year round.

After arriving at the planet, everyone first conducted a thorough inspection to make sure there were no monitoring instruments.

The garrison left behind a lot of electronic equipment, such as smart access control systems, and there was no need to dismantle them.

It takes a very long time to detect devices with ulterior motives from these electronic devices.

Qu Jianlei even released more than a hundred robots to assist in the inspection of the small lake.

They spent two days doing the initial screening, and after making sure there were no major problems, they began to build the spirit gathering array and the teleportation array.

The military left a defensive formation, but Qu Jianlei and his team set up a new defensive formation.

At the same time, they also set up two Qi gathering arrays with the intention of confusing the audience.

This time, they really planned to make this place their permanent base.

To this end, they have deployed tens of thousands of satellites to monitor various situations.

Except for the lack of super heavy anti-aircraft firepower, this is basically a complete base.

Qu Jianlei even named this base "Dawn", which shows that he really wants to stay here for a long time.

Two more days later, they had completed most of the arrangements.

Xiao Hu was still checking the equipment, while Dugan, the fourth master, Yuanyuan, Tianyin and Claire had already been teleported back to Yanyu Terrace.

Two days later, the teleportation array lit up, and it was Jia Shuiqing, Mu Guang, Zi Jiuxian and Xiang Xue who rushed over.

They knew the team had a new base and couldn't help but come over to take a look.

A day later, even Xiao Moshan and Xiao Qin came over.

At the same time, they brought a piece of news, it seems that Paranoia... is about to reach the time for a breakthrough.

Qu Jianlei nodded and said, "Before he goes into seclusion, let me know so I can tell his fortune."

Jing Yuexin rolled her eyes at him and thought, he had just done divination not long ago, why was he going to do it again?

But reaching the Nascent Soul stage is a huge undertaking, and if one is not careful one will die. She can’t stop him by force, right?

Jia Shuiqing had been studying locusts, and was slightly surprised when he heard this. "It seems... Qing Hu is also approaching!"

"Indeed," Mu Guang nodded after hearing this, "Looking at her condition, I feel like I don't have enough experience."

"Then let's do some divination," Qu Jianlei said stiffly. He didn't even dare to look at Jing Yuexin's expression.

"Anyway... it's impossible for us to be in seclusion on the same day, right?"

"Ahem," Jing Yuexin coughed lightly, "Boss, be careful with your words."

Qu Jianlei's face darkened, and he snorted angrily, "Forget it... eh?"

Xiao Hu actually found some inappropriate equipment, which contained a passive signal transmitter.

However, this launcher is located in the equipment around the shooting range, and it is not known whether it was intentionally omitted.

Within half a day, three more were found, two of which were still around the shooting range and one was in the warehouse.

The problem near the shooting range isn't too big, but the one about the warehouse...it's hard not to have some thoughts.

"Forget it," Qu Jianlei sighed. They gave up such a big base, so why would they care about such a small matter?
"Destroy it."

As a result, less than half a day after the four launchers were destroyed, the military sent a communication request.

Together, the military's signal receiver received the signals sent by the four transmitters before they were destroyed.

I really don’t know how many signal generators of this kind there are. I can’t even keep track of them all.

It was only after the control system summarized the data and found that it was within a key area that a weighted reminder was added.

The military immediately investigated after discovering it, and now they have even identified the suspect.

This is a soldier in a technical position. Recently something happened at home, which caused him to be negligent in his work.

The military’s attitude is very clear. You just need to make your request on how to deal with the matter.

Sentencing and implicate superiors are all fine, and even the death penalty is fine, but you know... it has to be carried out by the military.

The other party's attitude made Hua Xiezi, who was in charge of the connection, speechless, so he went to ask the boss.

Qu Jianlei shook his head. "Forget it. Tell them that if it happens again, we will stop cooperating with the military."

Is it important to be a scapegoat? There is no need to pursue the matter. The key is to learn from it.

Ten days later, a military transport ship arrived and issued a landing request ten million kilometers away.

This is the military’s apology, 5 billion energy blocks!
Flower Scorpion said that he did not mean that, but just hoped it would not happen again.

The other party responded: If our landing will cause inconvenience, please come and pick it up.

Qu Jianlei and his gang are soft-hearted and do not respond to tough measures. Finally, Jing Yuexin made the final decision - just accept it.

Bentley approached the transport ship alone in a small ship.

The military originally wanted to use this opportunity to get closer, but when they saw that the other party brought large-scale space equipment to receive the goods, they had to give up.

However, they still provided some interrogation materials, and the careless person solemnly apologized to Digital Phantom in the image.

The fact that even this is prepared proves that the military is indeed sincere in solving the problem.

At the same time, Qu Jianlei had already begun testing the locust version of the Qi Gathering Array.

The test was conducted in a closed underground stone chamber, and the formation was mainly built by robots.

Although Qu Jianlei has already confirmed that the corpses of the locusts should not cause any consequences, this is the empire, so it is always better to be careful.

This test lasted for almost three months before the locust version of the Qi gathering array was basically formed.

Forming is only a preliminary step to achieving the goal. Like previous calculations, the basic version of the equipment has an alarmingly low energy conversion rate.

With this conversion rate, the Empire cannot even make a profit from fighting the alien races, and will still suffer heavy losses due to the handling of toxic substances.

But at least we have a research direction, right? The next step is to reduce costs.

At this moment, Jing Yuexin also wanted to go back to Yanyu Terrace. "The following deduction is so troublesome, can we hand it over to the military?"

If you want to perfect this formation, you need to spend a lot of money and energy. It's not a little bit, so you have to hand it over.

Anyway, it’s impossible for the military to take their things for free.

"The conversion rate is too low. We can't afford to lose face," Qu Jianlei shook his head. "It will take at least half a year to perfect it."

He thought so, but plans could not keep up with changes. Three months later, Paranoid and Mu Yu arrived at the Dawn Base.

(First update, congratulations to Master Meng for "Autumn wind and falling leaves".)
