"Okay, I won't say much else. You can go through the formalities and leave."
Spade said to Su Mo.
At this time, Warifa on the side spoke, and he said to Su Mo.
"You can go directly, I will help you with the formalities."
"Thank you Lord Warifa, but Lord Warifa, that..."
Su Mo thought about it, but felt that it was a bit unethical to just leave like this.
"You don't need to say it. I know what you want to say. Although I am old-fashioned and unreasonable, I am not a fool. Of course I know that Daisy and the others are not only not at fault, but also have merit. But the black and white organization has its own principles and standards, so
He said that they still have to be given a small punishment, of course you can rest assured, it is just a small punishment, and you will reward them later."
When Warifa saw that Su Mo still wanted to have sex, he simply made it clear.
"Thank you, I'll leave first."
Su Mo understood immediately upon hearing this, and left the interrogation room without saying anything more.
Spade looked at Su Mo's leaving figure and sighed quietly.
"Why."
"What's wrong?"
Warifa looked at Spade with some surprise.
Spade said with some emotion: "It is such a pity that such a talent does not come from my E-area."
After hearing this, Warifa also fell silent.
...
On the bridge of the Black Yao, Li Ruiqi was sitting on the command chair, listening to Putmi's statistical report.
"The latest summary of casualties shows that in this incident, a total of 22,421 people were injured and 2,134 people died. According to the feedback from the people below, not many buildings collapsed inside the ship. Most of these injured and dead people were injured and died because of the failure of evacuation measures.
Do it well. Normally this can be avoided, after all, we have given enough time."
Putmi said seriously.
"I see."
Li Ruiqi sighed and replied.
"In addition, these casualties are not the majority. The real heavy losses are the abandoned personnel."
Putmi's old face twitched when he talked about this matter. He is almost scolded to death now because he was the one who issued the false delay order.
Although anyone with a brain should think about it, he shouldn't be blamed. But people are emotional animals, and those who have lost relatives are sometimes not so rational.
"What is the specific value?"
Li Ruiqi held his breath and mentally prepared himself to face the cruel reality.
"A total of 239,112 people were abandoned. Basically, it can be assumed that all of them died, with no possibility of survival. As for the transport ships and various supplies and equipment that were abandoned at the same time, there were countless more."
Putmi said with a numb scalp.
When Li Ruiqi heard this number, his heart ached and his face looked extremely ugly.
"It's terrible."
Putmi then said: "Actually, this number is quite ideal. If it had not been extended by those two hours, the number of deaths would have been at least hundreds of thousands more. And even the personnel of the military department may not be able to survive safely.
Return them all, so Mr. Li Ruiqi, you don’t have to blame yourself, you have done enough."
"I understand, has the work of comforting the deceased family members begun?"
Li Ruiqi asked with a very uncomfortable feeling in his chest.
"It has already started, but because there are too many people involved, it is estimated that it will take some time. But don't worry, absolutely everyone who sacrifices will be comforted."
Putmi said confidently.
"Okay, what about the ships?"
Li Ruiqi nodded and asked.
Speaking of ships, Putmi's expression became even more depressed, and he said in a depressed mood: "The Black Yao is in a very bad situation right now. It has three nuclear fusion power units, Unit 1 has an overload failure, and Unit 2 has been penetrated by rays.
, now only Unit 3 is still running. In addition, the energy barrier device has also been damaged, and there are countless other damage to key parts. Now the maintenance team is almost crazy."
"How long will it take to repair?"
Li Ruiqi touched his forehead and asked with a headache.
"I asked the maintenance staff, and they said it could be as fast as two or three months, or as slow as half a year. And they told us not to have high expectations. Even if we barely repair it, it won't be able to return to its peak."
Putmi explained.
"I see."
Li Ruiqi responded with a headache.
"Mr. Li Ruiqi, do you have any good suggestions? This is not going to work! It will definitely delay our original plan. In addition, we are now deviating from the navigation track, which is a bit too late."
Putmi is very anxious about the current situation.
Li Ruiqi's expression kept changing. He didn't know what Putmi was saying, but he couldn't change it for a while.
So Li Ruiqi said to Putmi.
"Putmi, look at the command room. I need to have a meeting with Auglas and the others to discuss it."
"good."
Putmi nodded and responded.
Not long after, in a hidden conference hall.
Li Ruiqi, Spade, and Augustus sat together.
Li Ruiqi gave each of them a copy of the summarized report.
When Spade and Augustus looked at the summary report, their expressions were even uglier than the death of their own father.
Until they finished reading, both of them were livid and unable to say a word.
Li Ruiqi got straight to the point and said: "Vice President Spade, Vice President Augustus, I won't say those lies. You have seen the situation now. The Black Glory was so seriously damaged that it will take a long time to repair it. And it will also take a long time."
It is impossible to completely repair it, and the navigation trajectory has deviated. It is almost impossible to go to the Gray Scorpion Galaxy as planned according to the original plan, and there is no time. Moreover, in the condition of the Black Yao, it is extremely dangerous."
"Then what do you mean? You want to retreat and return?"
Augustus' face looked extremely ugly.
"I'm just explaining the situation, and I'm discussing it with you now."
Li Ruiqi replied calmly.
Spade sighed and said, "Li Ruiqi, what choice do we have now? Just talk openly, there are no outsiders here."
"We have three options. The first is to return. This is the most conservative option and the safest option. Of course, the cost is also obvious. It is equivalent to announcing that the expedition plan has failed."
Li Ruiqi said calmly.
"This won't work."
Augustus directly rejected it.
"The second is to continue sailing, but we need to face two major risks. One is that the time exceeds the standard, and the other is that the Black Yao is in poor condition. If it is attacked again, it may sink."
Li Ruiqi continued.
After hearing this, Spade shook his head and said, "It's too risky. The third option?"
"Change your destination and find a new goal."
Li Ruiqi said solemnly.
"Aren't you joking? Do you think this is child's play? You can change the destination if you want to? And where to change, without an accurate target in the vast sea of stars, it is no better than looking for a needle in a haystack. You won't come back empty-handed by then.
?”
Augustus directly retorted that he felt Li Ruiqi's last proposal was too ridiculous.
"I understand, so I hope you will communicate with Mr. Delaire to see if there are any targets that are closer to our current location and have relatively better resources."
Li Ruiqi said.
"Don't have such illusions, it's simply impossible. If you think about it carefully, you will know that the possibility is too low, how precious each resource point is, and he is not a god, how can he know so much, and also happen to know so much?
It’s very close to us.”
Augustus waved his hands irritably, thinking it was ridiculous no matter what.
At this moment Spud said: "It's not completely impossible."
Li Ruiqi and Augustus were also stunned and looked at Spade.
"Spud, are you kidding?"
Spade's eyes flashed with strange luster and he said: "Dilaire is unlikely to provide us with a new target, but there is a group of people who may. After all, they are the local snakes here."
Li Ruiqi and Augustus reacted immediately and said in unison.
