The visit of the Ninth Fleet was unexpected, so Chu Jungui had no preparations. However, this did not trouble him. After transferring the alloy materials to the transport ship, Chu Jungui sailed back to Base No. 2 and transferred the contents of the base to the base.
Several tons of stored metallic hydrogen were transported to orbit and handed over to the Ninth Fleet. During this period, Li Ruobai completed the work of confirming military merit.
Destroying a light-protection-class patrol ship in the Federation, the total military merit was about 200 points. Li Ruobai registered the Lightyear Legion, and then allocated 150 points to the legion, and the rest were allocated to Chu Jungui's second lieutenant rank. These military merits were enough for Chu Jun
Gui was promoted to captain. As for Li Ruobai himself, he didn't want any military merit.
After finishing these tasks, the starships of the Ninth Fleet quietly flew away during the gap between federal patrols and returned to the mobile base.
Chu Jungui disguised the unfinished starship and drove the transport ship back to Base 2 to prepare for the shipment of the next batch of materials and power furnaces.
Back at Base No. 2, Chu Jun was about to go to the laboratory when he was stopped by Li Ruobai.
"Jun Gui, are you really not going to take a look at Sister Xi?"
"Isn't she very good now? Why should she go?"
Li Ruobai's voice became louder, "Do you think she's doing well? It's good that the Ninth Fleet's situation can be sustained now. Sister Xi is in danger all the time."
Chu Jungui stopped, looked at the gloomy storm clouds through the window, and remained silent for a long time.
"Jun Gui, you..." Before Li Ruobai finished his sentence, Chu Jungui suddenly turned around and asked, "Do you think she will die?"
Without waiting for Li Ruobai to answer, Chu Jungui said to himself: "On this battlefield, everyone will be in danger now, it just depends on the level of the coefficient."
Li Ruobai felt that Chu Jungui's state was a little abnormal, and quickly said: "Actually, there are high and low levels. For example, it is quite safe to stay in the mobile base."
Chu Jungui asked: "Why doesn't the Ninth Fleet withdraw?"
"There must be a reason. If it could have been withdrawn, it would have been withdrawn long ago. I'll have to wait until the next transaction to find out what the specific reason is."
Chu Jungui shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter whether you ask or not. I have a hunch that she will not leave or stay in the mobile base."
Li Ruobai felt vaguely unhappy and said: "Jun Gui, Sister Xi is not an ordinary person. We don't need to worry about her. But you, please don't do anything stupid..."
Chu Jungui smiled, turned around and gave Li Ruobai a hug, saying: "You don't have to worry about me, I won't do stupid things either. I just think..."
"What do you think?"
Chu Jun pointed towards the surging sky and said, "I was born for battlefields like this."
Chu Jungui patted Li Ruobai on the shoulder and walked into the laboratory.
Li Ruobai stayed where he was, looking up at the sky, his blood finally faded away, and he suddenly understood something, and said angrily: "I was almost deceived by such a literary and artistic person like you! Why are you born to fight, and why don't you still have to fight for it?!"
The operation of Base No. 2 is still orderly, with almost no change in rhythm. However, everyone feels a vague sense of oppression. The production sequence has been subtly adjusted. First, it took half a day to produce 30 rapid-fire cannons and place them in the base.
The second line of defense is stationed and operated by soldiers day and night.
After strengthening the defense, they began to produce power furnaces on a large scale. The overall production index of Base 2 has exceeded 5000, which means that 50 tanks can be produced in a day. There are also a large number of Jolly Roger and even Lancer veterans in this base.
Already familiar with Chu Jungui's style. The mass production of power furnaces at the beginning was a precursor to expanding production capacity again.
Chu Jungui stayed alone in the laboratory for a while and then took out a new planning diagram.
In the next week, Base 2 will be constructed according to the idea of maximizing production capacity, and everything else, including weapons and starships, will be temporarily stopped. After this round of construction is completed, the total power supply of the base will exceed 10 million kW
, this was barely enough to supply the energy of a large city in the home star era.
With enough energy, he has the confidence to vigorously develop the materials industry, especially metal refining, which requires a lot of energy. Chu Jungui did not bother to look for ore veins, and directly built several excavators and dug a trench around Base No. 2.
The soil produced in the ditch is directly sent to the refining furnace to be smelted into various metals. This refining efficiency without prior separation is not very high. Only slightly less than half of the mass will be refined into various metal and non-metal materials. But the remaining
The residue is also a very good building material and is directly pressed into standard building modules for base construction.
The trench outside Base No. 2 was dug deeper and deeper, and became wider and wider, turning into a natural barrier to block the tide of beasts. There was a Class B beast tide during this period, but it was just to replenish organic materials for Chu Jungui.
A week later, the production capacity index of Base 2 has also exceeded 10,000. Including the production capacity of Doomsday Shadow, it has reached 25,000. In other words, if Chu Jungui thinks about it at this moment, he can build a team of more than 1,000 in a week.
Troops of chariots.
After crazy expansion of production capacity, Chu Jungui turned to the transformation of starships. In this way, it would take several days to transform the starships. Chu Jungui simply built another transport ship, doubling the orbital material transportation capacity.
The material delivery was barely enough, and the starship modification was finally completed within one day.
At this time, ten days had passed since the last transaction with the Ninth Fleet.
In the outer orbit of Planet No. 4, the storm clouds are like a roaring sea, and huge waves are constantly surging. The newly renovated starship floats quietly on the sea, like a lonely boat, and leftover materials and dismantling are scattered around it.
Removed equipment.
The new starship is somewhat stubby and chubby, and the front main guns are wrapped. The two main engines from the destroyer make it unparalleled in maneuverability.
After the crew was in place, Chu Jungui drove the brand-new Sausage along the storm clouds and flew to the other side of the planet.
The Sausage was started by Li Ruobai. He felt that the hundred-meter-long starship should have an official name, but such a haphazardly put together thing could be damaged at any time, so he gave it a more casual name.
Chu Jungui didn't care about code names and naming. If he didn't have to take care of Li Ruobai, Chu Jungui would simply want to use a string of more than 50 digits as the name of the ship. He could even be more ruthless and use a three-dimensional model as the name.
Ship name. The advantage of doing this is that you can know all the data of the starship at a glance. The disadvantage is that except for Chu Jungui and Li Xinyi, others may not be able to tell the difference between the two ship names.
What a difference.
Under the cover of the storm clouds, the Sausage moved forward slowly, gradually entering the other side of the planet.
