Zhong He's armor modification was finally completed after two more rotations between Groups A and B.
It was a little later than he expected, probably because the maintenance technician was changed once during the period - he just went to the work surface to help out, but he got infected and had to change the general in the middle, and the work handover was delayed for some time.
Toxins polluting the environment are indeed very troublesome.
Even though Zhong He was used to seeing similar scenes, he still frowned.
As far as he knew, at this time, the isolation personnel of the fifth mobile company had increased to 25 people, accounting for 40% of the total personnel, and the progress of the operation surface was only more than half.
It is said that after Ronan discussed with Le Zuo and Tao Xian, they rearranged the groups and personnel. Some quarantined personnel with mild symptoms were allowed to enter the rotation.
The increase and decrease in personnel is an extreme test of project management skills. As the leading project manager of the Fifth Mobile Company, Le Zuo is going crazy with his work.
So much so that when Zhong He went to find him, he barely had time to speak and directly gave him the permission to repair the vehicle as agreed in advance.
It should be said that Ronan should be responsible for the project management of the fifth mobile company. But in wartime, everything cannot be judged by common sense. In this mobile maintenance station, this is Le Zuo's job.
The problem is that the extremely important principle of personnel rotation is stipulated by Ronan, so that the senior sergeant chief of the Kushu tribe must dance with shackles, which is quite passive.
Zhong He didn't say anything about this, and just asked casually, "What is Lieutenant Ronan doing?"
"Preparing lessons, um, maybe also preparing for meetings."
"..."
Le Zuo raised his head and waved his hand in disgust, "Go to the rest area to find him."
Zhong He didn't care about this attitude and turned to leave.
The temporarily modified double-layer armor is derived from the standard equipment of the maintenance technician. It inevitably has a bloated style. Walking inside the mobile maintenance station, it looks basically the same as other people passing by. From the appearance alone, it is almost indistinguishable.
This is a school-level officer.
If it weren't for the "slicing instrument" buzzing around him with an entire base.
Even so, the most other people would do was pay attention to him when they looked at him, and they basically walked around in a hurry.
But Zhong He still found that when he came out of the workshop this time, there were many more idle people in the mobile repair station. Although everyone came and went in a hurry, their purpose was not strong, and most of them were infected.
Zhong He shook his head.
That Lieutenant Ronan was an extremely talented research person. His self-organized "quasi-paradigm" of teaching methods, his simplified analysis of physical and spiritual structures, and his attainments in ritual ancient characters were quite extraordinary.
In addition, he is able to calmly use the inner universe simulator to conduct modeling research, and he has made great achievements. It can be said that he is unique among young people.
However, like most promising geniuses, this person's approach is too "conservative", to be precise, he is "self-conscious" and always wants to do things that are extra sure.
This is especially true in the arrangement of "Bufa".
At that time, when I saw him letting the long tail of the "Electric Hydralisk" pierce the armor of the maintenance station, I thought he was a very courageous person. Now, It seems to be a bit of a pity.
After all, he is different from desperadoes like his own.
Then again, in the eyes of most people, what Ronan did was the right way.
After all, he is still young and has plenty of time to wait for the empire's major research institutes to come up with a reasonably balanced and almost foolproof plan for him and his people.
After that, he can rely on his academic research results to enter the Hanguang Ancestral Court or the Senate, become a trainee shaman priest or technical assistant, and make full use of his status as a "migrant" to take the path of a "minority" representative and become a "minority" representative in the Three Kingdoms.
Become a member of the imperial elite within ten to fifty years.
This is basically a clear and fast upward channel.
Zhong He has seen many similar things over the years and doesn't think Ronan did anything wrong.
In fact, it is quite remarkable that such future elites of the empire can respond to the call, join the army when the "Two Star Gate" battle comes, and work on the front line battlefield.
Even if your acting style is more conservative, you should not be too demanding.
Zhong He didn't hate this person.
But as far as project management on the job is concerned, the arrangement of this young chief officer is too stable. If his rotation principle is implemented, it will be very stable in the early stage, but not optimistic in the later stage.
Since the dawn of time, whenever there is a large-scale war, ensuring zero infection of personnel on duty in a poisonous environment in the wild is the key point that every version of military drills tries to emphasize, but in reality, it is still too idealistic.
The front-line battlefield will tell every newcomer a bloody lesson: don’t expect to find jobs here that are thoughtful or elegant enough to avoid bloodshed; the same goes for decision-making.
Although Zhong He asked where Ronan was, he would not deliberately look for it. His time was also very precious, and the difficulty of his task was much higher than that of the fifth mobile company's underground operations. He was not free enough yet.
The extent to which a newcomer can teach and teach.
However, the rest area and the storage area for individual maintenance vehicles are exactly in line...
Things often happen by coincidence.
After a few steps, I was almost crossing the rest area, when I heard someone calling me. It wasn't him, but the voice matched that of the young man.
"Sergeant Bao Long, it's time for you to hand in your homework."
The person who just passed by Zhong He heard the voice and turned his head, "Lieutenant!"
Although Sergeant Bao Long stopped, Zhong He, who had already walked past, did not stop unconsciously. The slicing instruments surrounding him had revealed his identity.
Ronan stopped Sergeant Bao Long and then greeted Zhong He, "Colonel Zhong is leaving?"
Of course Zhong He knew that everything that happened inside the "Soil Ranger" could not be hidden from Ronan, so he simply said "hmm".
He was not in a hurry to talk to Ronan, he just wanted to see how the young commander communicated with his subordinates.
At this time, there was Medical Officer Tao Xian next to Ronan, and there was a shining projection work area next to him. Above that was
It is the "constellation chart" created by Ronan.
In addition, the work area is also divided into an area, which is vaguely like a portrait.
Zhong He's sharp eyesight saw the medical officer pointing his finger at a certain location on the "constellation map". The corresponding location inside the maintenance station was none other than Sergeant Bao Long who was stopped.
As for the portrait in that corner, it's not clear whether it's Bao Long or not - after all, it can't be seen through the double layer of armor.
Ronan also turned to Bao Long and said, "Have you finished filling out the questionnaire?"
"Uh, filled it out."
"Why wasn't it sent?"
"forget."
Bao Long felt a little dizzy, but he still took the time to send the questionnaire to Ronan.
Ronan did not continue to criticize, and only said, "You are the only one missing. Don't forget to go to the meeting later."
"Ah, I'm going to change a part, and I'll just come... Aren't you going to class?"
"In communication class, you have to speak."
When Ronan and Bao Long were talking, Zhong He walked straight forward and looked at Medical Officer Tao Xian.
Tao Xian glanced at him and did not refuse.
So Zhong He saw that the very simple and rough portrait in the area on the edge of the "Constellation Chart" was none other than Sergeant Bao Long - at least that's what the relevant information showed.
The information beside the portrait includes not only basic information such as name and age, but also the minutes of a face-to-face conversation and the questionnaire that was just sent.
In addition, in the lower left corner of the portrait, there is also a complex glyph that seems to be an ancient Chinese character for rituals.
It is completely conceivable that the relevant information is not limited to Sergeant Bao Long. I am afraid that everyone, at least all those who have been contaminated by the evil poison, have such a copy.
Zhong He knew what kind of "communication course" Ronan was going to give, but he didn't expect that he had to make so many preparatory preparations for the course.
This is the front line. Although it is not a life-and-death battle with corpses everywhere, it is still full of dangers. Ronan still has the time to do this!
This seems to go beyond the scope of "conservative"?
Can't tell the priorities? Or do you have other plans?
Ronan was still talking to Sergeant Bao Long, but it was almost chatting, and it also involved some technical issues on the job.
Zhong He couldn't figure out the context, so he turned to look at Tao Xian again, his eyes focused on the other man's chest.
The crystal array fire there is not very stable to be honest, it is swaying constantly, and there are some erratic smoke and holes in it. At first glance, it looks like some kind of totem.
But in the unstable overall situation, every totem seems to be full of ominous omens.
Zhong He was expressionless as he was thinking. Over there, Ronan also ended the brief conversation, let Sergeant Bao Long go, turned around, faced Zhong He and said with a smile
"Colonel Zhong is about to leave, and I have nothing to offer. This basic 'slicing instrument' can be considered as a small gift."
After a pause, he added, "It is best for the individual maintenance vehicle to pass under the working surface. About seven hundred meters forward, there is a group of holes, which can be used as a temporary hiding spot... Actually, I hope Principal Zhong can rest until we leave."
"Are you leaving? Ten hours?"
"There are still four hours left for the mission."
"You can't finish it." Zhong He concluded directly.
Ronan was still laughing, "It's a little difficult, but you can't admit defeat in advance."
Zhong He wanted to tell Ronan his analysis, but years of experience told him that saying these words at this time has no meaning other than offending people.
He hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "You are too conservative in front of me. The infected will still go in."
“A sharpened sword never wastes time as a woodcutter.”
This is like a common saying, probably passed down from the history of Ronan's species, and there is a wonderful sense of confidence in it.
Zhong He still wanted to say it, but finally shut up.
Ronan and Zhong He walked together for a short distance, but neither of them spoke anymore until they arrived in front of the simple conference room in the rest area.
Tao Xian in front opened the door and walked in first.
Zhong He stopped for a moment and took a look outside the door. He felt that there should be infected people inside, and the atmosphere was quite dull and subtle.
Tao Xian entered, the fire was swaying, the light and dark on everyone's faceplates were uncertain, and the projection workspace that was always turned on added a more blurred color to this scene.
Ronan nodded to Zhong He, "I'm going to a meeting."
"Thanks for the help, looking forward to seeing you again."
"I won't give it away, take care."
Ronan walked in, Zhong He continued to walk forward, and what Ronan said was heard in the conference room: "...In the early communication, I found a few relatively homogeneous issues. In this communication class, we will discuss these first.
"
When the door is closed, the sound is no longer so clear. Zhong He should still be able to hear it if he wants to listen, but it is meaningless.
He shook his head again and finally left.
Soon, Zhong He drove the individual maintenance vehicle away from the belly of the soil ranger and entered the permafrost rock formation.
Far away, the "slicer" outside his body was still circling, and indeed continued to work, blocking the pheromones on his body that were involuntarily dissipated due to flaws in the cloth design.
This is obviously not controlled by Ronan, but it is running on its own according to the "quasi-paradigm" arranged in advance.
Ronan is indeed a technical genius.
Zhong He once again confirmed this evaluation.
He followed the route given by Ronan and passed through the working surface from below. He actually passed the group of holes in the middle, but he did not stop and continued moving forward.
But at the same time, he also used some tricks on the individual maintenance vehicle. The point penetration engine of this thing can only support short distances, which means that he will abandon it soon. And here, there are still "Iron-eating Beetles" and "
Within the detection area of "Electric Hydralisk". If handled properly, it can be somewhat concealed and will not cause trouble to the fifth mobile company.
As for whether the last team of dozens of people can survive, and who can go back intact, it depends on the blessings of the ancestors.
The problem is, the "ancestor" of the company commander doesn't seem to have much ability...
