The starship that came was really going to stay for a long time.
The satellite hovered in the sky for most of the day, and they roughly selected a foothold based on the terrain.
Fortunately, the location chosen by the opponent happened to have a hidden shelter for Qu Jianlei's team.
But this is not surprising. There are only so many places on a planet that are convenient for observation.
If Qu Jianlei can choose, the opponent can also choose. In the space age, these are the most basic survival skills.
Xiaohu had to shut down most of the equipment at the shelter - it was impossible to shut down completely, and the right way was to observe closely.
The starship released the engineering vehicle, surveyed the geological structure, and selected a location with a relatively stable structure.
Then they found a sheltered place and released the Transformers-like van.
Immediately afterwards, forty or fifty people moved in, and the energy consumed by the starship dropped sharply.
Except for the relatively low temperature, everything else here is relatively livable, and the operating cost of cargo is much lower than that of a starship.
It can be seen from this that the cost control ability of this group of people has reached the average level - at least they act in a relatively orderly manner.
In comparison, Qu Jianlei's team pursues efficiency more, and it can be said that they don't take this small amount of money seriously.
"Oops," Xiao Moshan muttered to Xiao Qin, "It looks like at least a semi-permanent stopping point will be built."
The meaning of these actions can be basically understood by the Supreme Being present, but he knows that his partner lacks experience in interstellar navigation.
Hua Xingzi was thinking about another point, "Why are there so many people on this armed merchant ship?"
Even for a large merchant ship, plus the crew of two attack ships, twenty or thirty people are enough.
But there are already more than 40 crew members who have come out, and there are obviously people on the starship. Is this a cargo ship or a passenger ship?
Half a day later, those temporary cabins were in normal operation, and seven or eight people got off the starship.
These people selected a rock layer and began to cast spells directly - there were at least three earth attribute A-level people inside.
I have to admit that it is much more convenient for awakened people to use magic to build living facilities than machines.
Normally, it's a question of whether someone can be hired to take action. In space, it's a question of how the awakened person can recover.
If the group of people in front of them use awakened people like this, it can only be said that they have enough high-level awakened people.
Otherwise, it is more cost-effective to use machinery. It is better to consume energy blocks than to consume the inner breath of the awakened person.
After all, not just any team can carry the Qi Gathering Array with them.
However, this also needs to be viewed dialectically. The machinery has suffered wear and tear, and maintenance is a big problem - replenishment in space is really inconvenient.
All in all, for a team that dares to operate like this in space, the proportion of awakened people is absolutely terrifying.
Mu Yu couldn't help but said, "Can you invade their system?"
Unknowingly, everyone has become accustomed to the existence of Xiaohu, but no one knows what the name of this artificial intelligence is.
"Let's take another look," Qu Jianlei replied in a deep voice, "If you don't touch the other party's bottom, what if there is something weird on the cargo ship?"
They are absolutely not afraid of ordinary forces, but what if they encounter a pervert?
Let’s not talk about anything else. If you encounter an artificial intelligence of the same level as the Anti-Smuggling Department, no matter how powerful the opponent’s computing power is, Xiaohu may be exposed.
It depends on the other party's approach. It is not only organized but also structured, so it is better to be on the safe side.
He was accustomed to it, and when he wandered around the world, he was careful not to make any big mistakes.
"Tsk," Mu Yu smacked her lips when she heard the words, but did not continue to speak.
On the contrary, Jia Shuiqing heard what she meant and said in a deep voice, "Actually, it doesn't matter if we leave now."
She knew that everyone was still worried and hoped that she could stabilize her situation as much as possible.
After all, the boss has made it clear that her path to Yuanying is more formal than Jing Yuexin's.
In the coming period, she will definitely be the team's number one combatant.
However, Jia Shuiqing is also used to being proud. She has firmly remembered everyone's care and concern, but she does not need anyone to take extra care of her.
Her realm is indeed still a little unstable, but that doesn't matter, she can just make up for it slowly later.
Anyway, as long as she deliberately controls it, it is impossible for outsiders to detect her aura fluctuations.
At this moment, Qu Jianlei spoke up, "But it's not easy for us to find a suitable base, and we need a reason to give up!"
In fact, everyone is not very willing, but the other party really plans to stay.
Two days later, several A-levels stopped digging the cave. It seemed that the framework of the semi-permanent residence had been built.
Then the people in the cargo compartment began to enter the cave, operating various equipment, obviously cleaning up the interior.
Another day later, more than ten people walked out of the starship, four of whom were obviously of higher status.
Jia Shuiqing couldn't sit still, "I'm going to investigate, and I feel that these four may be the highest."
Paranoid also stood up, "I'll cover you, there may be a Supreme on the starship!"
He has metallic properties, which can greatly help Crispy's water properties, and his stealth skills are not bad either.
And after they leave, the remaining six supremes can still form the Five Elements Battle Formation.
Qing Hu can definitely take the position of Paranoid, and the boss can take on Jia Shuiqing's water attribute, and he can also be guarded by Bentley.
After such an analysis, everyone discovered that the supreme leader in the team had been able to form two powerful attack groups.
However, Qu Jianlei suggested, "Let's wait a little longer until dark."
There is also a difference between day and night on this desolate planet, which is not particularly obvious, but for covert operations, it is better to be in the dark than in the morning.
However, before it got dark, the other party sent a small ship and headed straight for the central hall where they were hiding.
"How could it be exposed?" Qu Jianlei and the others were a little confused. Everyone was already careful enough.
It turns out that what the other party discovered was not them, but the place where the body of the alien creature was placed.
Initially, for safety reasons, this location was more than a hundred kilometers away from the base, but now it seems that it was the right thing to do.
But this fact still surprised everyone, "Just a little bit of abnormal energy, and it was actually discovered?"
Qu Jianlei and Zi Jiuxian exchanged a look, "The other party's satellite... I'm afraid it's not simple."
The attack ship hovered around the place where the body was placed for about ten minutes, then landed and sent out a robot to take samples.
There is no doubt that there are crew members on the ship, but instead of getting off the ship, they send robots to take samples.
It can be seen that they are also highly vigilant about unknown situations.
The sampling took more than an hour. The other party sent a spacecraft to return the samples, and then the attack aircraft began to patrol the surrounding area.
However, the concealment ability of Qu Jianlei's team is not in vain.
After searching for more than two hours, the attack ship even found a location that seemed to have some problems and launched an attack!
With such an obvious suspicion point, it is impossible for Qu Jianlei to be selected as the central base. The attack site is more than 300 kilometers away from the base.
But when the team members saw this, their faces sank - this is really not a good thing!
For space explorers, no matter how cautious they are on a strange planet, fire testing is of course allowed.
Qu Jianlei once visited a pioneering planet. It was common for pioneering groups to find suspicions and test fire.
However, there is a premise. This kind of random temptation must be faced with non-human beings - such as alien beasts.
But now on this planet, there are obviously no indigenous creatures - not even an ecosystem, so there can be no weird creatures hiding.
Then the attack ships can only target hidden humans.
Even in space, strange humans may be more dangerous, but even if you encounter space thieves, you should give a warning first, right?
The direct fire test without warning is enough to show the ruthlessness of these people.
How could people like Qu Jianlei get used to this?
The paranoid snorted coldly, "I'm so stupid... so crazy, none of us can do such a thing!"
No one in the team is a good person, and they don't care about ordinary people's lives, but no one will open fire without asking questions.
Bentley also said, "If there are old grudges, it would be better to kill them all!"
However, at this moment, Qu Jianlei smacked his teeth and said, "Another starship has arrived."
After the arrival of the armed merchant ship, Xiaohu once again reduced the frequency of use of the detector for safety reasons.
Because of this caution and the violent atmosphere, the other party never discovered them.
Only when the new starship was four million kilometers away from the starship did a message come back.
When Mrs. Jia heard the news, she frowned and said unhappily, "Is this really exciting?"
After the old lady advanced, she was still very polite to her family, but this did not mean that she was easy to talk to.
Qu Jianlei sighed softly, "Let's make preparations for relocation. If the other party can bring a second starship, who knows how many more?"
From the time the first starship appeared to the second one, it took four full days, and there was no time to jump back and forth to transmit information.
In other words, the opponent's two starships locked onto this planet in advance and chose to use it as a base.
So, since there are two starships, will there be a third starship that knows about it?
According to common sense, it is normal for a force with such two starships to have a third and fourth starship.
The most critical thing is that these two ships cannot contain all the manpower and combat power of this force.
Any force that allows all its members to go into space must at least leave a headquarters for coordination and communication, right?
Moreover, what is to be built here is a transfer station or even an observation station. Is it necessary for all the people to come and build it?
So how come those from the opposing force who know about this planet are limited to these two starships?
What Qu Jianlei can think of, others can also figure out if they think about it.
"There are still some supplies in other shelters," the paranoid said, "just leave them to these guys?"
If it hadn't been for the fire test just now, some supplies would have been lost, but after this happened, he couldn't think clearly.
"Then just wait for two more days," Qu Jianlei said in a deep voice, "If the third starship does not arrive, we will take action!"
