Star Planter

The early end of the military meeting could not be concealed from the various forces in the Federation, and everyone inquired about what happened.All kinds of information were passed between the federations, but there was a seal order from the military department, and the news of the alien parasites did not come out.Just as the Federation had different opinions on this, Lu Li and his party secretly returned to the asteroid belt and joined Wei Na who was stationed there.

"Boss." Wei Na handed over the command of the Iris to Lu Li, and asked, "How is the situation of the Federation?"

"Same as usual." Lu Li sat on the podium and entered the password with the highest authority.The light brain was running, and he said while waiting: "General Zhuang has returned to Tianshu Star and completely controlled the situation. However, the military department is unwilling to disclose the truth about the alien parasites, for fear of causing turmoil in the Federation. The true and false General Zhuang The matter will not be disclosed." Speaking of this, Lu Li teased, "When you return to the Federation, Adjutant Wei, you will find that the medical technology of the Federation has advanced by leaps and bounds in just a few days, and the seriously ill General Zhuang is recovering day by day under the care of the medical officer. They will appear alive and kicking in front of the public.”

Wei Na smiled slightly, "The military department's concerns can't be wrong."

Lu Li: "It's one thing to be afraid of the turmoil in the Federation. It's probably also a reason to bargain with the Federation government. But the position determines the attitude. We are members of the Legion, so we naturally stand on the side of the military."

While the two were talking, Lu Li had already taken control of the Iris.Everyone on the starship took their positions. Lu Li ordered to activate the wormhole launcher, and said in a deep voice, "Target starfish, let's go."

A few minutes later, the huge figure of Iris disappeared near the asteroid belt.Shortly thereafter, a sharp scream erupted from the pitch-black universe.Fatty Bai drove the starship to escape from the asteroid belt in a hurry. Behind the starship, dense green tentacles were waving in the air.Fatty Bai was thinking about it, but he couldn't figure out what was going on?His memory of the past few days is hazy, as if he opened his eyes and appeared here inexplicably, and what is even more frightening is that this place is actually the lair of some kind of dark beast he doesn't know.

Fatty Bai was scared to death, and immediately updated the extraterrestrial star map after escaping from the asteroid belt, emphatically marking this asteroid belt as highly dangerous, reminding himself to avoid it next time.Who on earth has such a big hatred against him?Fatty Bai cursed in his heart for a long time, he was sure that he had lost a piece of memory, and the only ones who could do this were high-level guides.He must find out which bastard did it, and threw him into the dark beast's lair in a frenzy.

As Fatty Bai returned to the sphere of influence of the Red Spider Star Pirates, the news that the asteroid belt 3.5 light-years away from the northwest border was occupied by an unknown dark beast quickly spread.Whether it's star robbers or explorers, they have marked this place as high-risk, and no one is willing to risk their lives to get close to the dark beast's lair.

This is exactly the "little favor" that Lu Li said in advance that he needed Fatty Bai's help. Once the asteroid belt is marked as a dark beast's lair, it will spontaneously become a forbidden area, and the secrets of green life forms don't have to worry about being passed by. Starship found.

A few hours later, after two short jumps, the Iris appeared above Zhenhaixing.

When the news spread, the entire Federation was shaken.No one would have thought that the Iris escaped the subspace storm and came back alive after such a long time.Even the most optimistic people in the Federation dare not think so, especially when Zhuang Wei was found seriously injured.

"It's just shit luck!" Kelock, the captain of the [-]nd Squadron of the [-]th Legion put his hands in his pockets, watched the Iris gradually descending, and whispered to his adjutant beside him, "I really hope this annoying guy Lu Li never comes back."

Kellock's adjutant, Sentinel Zhao Yingyuan unceremoniously exposed his words, "Actually, you are very happy that Major Lu is back alive. After hearing about the accident on the Iris some time ago, you have been insomnia for several days, Captain. You can't fool anyone at all. .”

Kelok gritted his teeth, "I'm so happy."

Zhao Yingyuan pretended to think, and emphasized his pronunciation, "It seems that the captain is really happy, and even gave up the beauty sleep that has always been important."

Kelok glared at him angrily, "Adjutant!"

Zhao Yingyuan smiled slightly, without looking sideways, and said: "Please keep smiling, the general is looking at you, captain."

Kelok showed his eight teeth subconsciously, and laughed exaggeratedly.

Li Zhengdao: "..."

Kelok's smile remained until he saw Lu Li.Across the crowd far away, Su He saw Kellock at a glance.His smile is too conspicuous, with deep eyes and high nose, sapphire blue eyes, and brilliant blond hair, it seems to have a soft light.Following his line of sight, Shen Shen's lips didn't move, and he hummed, "Little guide, are you looking at Kelock? That idiot-laughing guy?"

"..." Su He, who doesn't know Shen Shen's difficult pronunciation, stuck out his tentacles and poked Shen Shen, "Is he the flower peacock you often talk about?"

"Hmm...um." Shen Shen said nasally, "How is it? Isn't it very vivid?"

Su He nodded with a strange expression, "It does look a bit like it."

Shen Shen showed a hero's similar expression. Lu Li felt helpless, squeezed Su He's hand, and said in a low voice, "Kellock is a good person, but his personality is a bit exaggerated, and his hobbies are more special."

Su He: "Why is it special?"

Lu Li paused, as if it was difficult to describe, "...you will understand sooner or later."

Their expressions were intimate, and their movements were natural. Keloke's eyes widened in surprise, and he reacted belatedly, "Did Lu Li find a guide? When?" This question was also asked by everyone present.Many scrutinizing eyes fell on Su He, curious, friendly, probing... Su He was calm and calm, letting everyone scrutinize him.

Keloke said sourly: "It's just bad luck against the sky."

Across two layers of crowd, Lu Li walked up to Li Zhengdao in a few steps. "General." He made a military salute with his right hand on his chest, and said sincerely, "Let the general worry."

"Stinky boy." The old man scolded, but he didn't hide the smile in his eyes at all.The group of Iris came back alive, not only the old man Li was happy, but also very good news for the entire Seventh Army.No legion could bear the destruction of an ace team, especially a team like Lu Li stationed at the border.Their damage represented a gap in the entire border defense line. Who would be transferred to make up for it, and whether it could be made up was a problem that Li Zhengdao and the entire army were worried about before.

If the reserve team's ability is not enough, the deployment of the entire border defense line will be disrupted, and the corresponding pressure on the front line of Planet Kahn will also be transferred to other defense lines. This is something no team is willing to face.

The old man smiled and looked at Lu Li, Su He, and the people on the Iris, and then urged them to go to rectify and rest first.Afterwards, Lu Li still needs to apply to the military department to revoke the report of their disappearance, including verifying their identities and re-opening their permissions. When they are busy, they will have no time to rest.

Lu Li agreed, disbanded the team and let everyone move freely.He and Su He were about to leave when the old man suddenly thought of something and asked Lu Li to secretly slip a control button behind Su He's back.

"Stinky boy, this is the control button of Warehouse No. 121 of Zhenhai No. [-]. It stores the compensation materials for the Fourth Army. You can pick it up sometime. Also, the rewards issued by the military department have also reached yours. Remember to look at the account." He said earnestly: "Although it is a good thing for a guide to have money, but you brat, don't forget that it is a tradition for a sentinel to support a family, understand?"

"..." Lu Li's eyes were strange, and he almost couldn't maintain the gentle expression on his face. The corners of his mouth twitched and he nodded.

After bidding farewell to Li Zhengdao, Lu Li handed over the control button to Su He for safekeeping.Zhenhaixing No. [-] is a satellite revolving around Zhenhaixing. It was rebuilt by Li Zhengdao into a storage base for storing materials.Being able to occupy a warehouse there shows that the amount of materials is quite large.Lu Li felt warm in his heart, and smiled helplessly when he thought of Li Zhengdao's words.

Su He didn't feel much about Li Zhengdao's words. He and Lu Li were combined, and spiritually they were equivalent to one person.What's the difference between him raising Lu Li and Lu Li raising him?Besides, even if the Iris Star is his in name, without Lu Li and the Iris, he can't even come back to the Federation, and it doesn't make any sense to guard a planet.Rather than worrying about this, he cared more about what would be in the warehouse.

Lu Li patted Su He's head and said, "Generally, mechas, energy stones, and nutrients are the main ones."

"The army's main rations are also nutritional supplements?" Su He picked out the key points keenly.

Lu Li nodded and joked, "Why do you think the Iris is so poor? It's partly because of starships, and partly because it was eaten up by those guys."

The federal government has been fighting against the dark beasts for many years, and in order to maintain a sufficient supply of soldiers, it has been vigorously encouraging births.Population expansion, the destruction of wars, and the destructive exploitation of resources by the federal government have caused the ecology of thousands of resource stars and habitable stars to be completely out of balance.Now there are only a few natural planets that can be cultivated in the entire Federation, and more ecological cabins and ecological boxes are prevalent.On the one hand, the output of federal crops cannot keep up with the huge demand. On the other hand, the cost of crops produced through ecological equipment is extremely high. It is impossible for the federal government to support the entire army.Therefore, the federal army is the same as the civilians. The main rations are nutritional supplements. If they want to improve their food, they can only pay for it themselves.

Su Ho looked at Lu Li sympathetically, and thought of another question. "I remember that the history of the Federation recorded that the earth's population was only tens of millions when it was the smallest. How could it expand so quickly in just 1000 years?"

Even if a mother gives birth to one child a year, ten births is already the limit.There are still children to be raised and wars to be fought. I always feel that the number of people has grown a little bit unbelievable.He looked like an academic researcher. Lu Li laughed. Instead of explaining, he clicked on the terminal and found a picture to show him.

"The artificial womb is one of the inventions of the military. It was originally only for the liberation of pregnant female sentinels, and was later extended to the entire human society."

The photo shows something similar to the ecological fish tank that Su He has seen, with a base underneath and a transparent material on top, simulating a woman's uterus. There are detailed instructions on the side of the "fish tank". This machine provides fully automatic embryo development control services. Expectant mothers only need to combine sperm and eggs and inject them into the artificial uterus.

"..." Su He, "Is it all like this?"

"Of course not." Lu Li and Su He clasped their fingers tightly, and said, "This is just a method, and there are some women who insist on having children by themselves." The Federation has been encouraging the promotion of artificial wombs among the people for a while, after all, the Dark Beast is aggressive. Humans seem to be able to crush this advantage only in numbers.However, with the increase in population pressure in recent years, the Federation has begun to vigorously advocate natural birth and reduce births.

"The area of ​​the Federation has not expanded outwards for nearly 200 years, and the nearby star fields have been inspected and only a few planets suitable for human survival have been found. It's just that the air is suitable, and the environment is very general. The current population pressure of the Federation is huge, man-made The uterus has gradually withdrawn from the market." Lu Li patiently explained.

Su Ho's thoughts jumped, and from the planetary environment that Lu Li said, he generally thought of the vast market of formations.It's a pity that Shimen only has him alone. If there are more people, they can completely form a space environment transformation company, transforming the planet's environment while growing crops, and making money with both hands.

"The ideal is not bad." Lu Li chuckled, "We can start by transforming Iris and Karn."
