Chapter 881 Everyone is terrified (book a guaranteed monthly pass next month)
Rogel Supreme returned to the small attack ship, and then various military ships quickly left.
Some of the engineering ships recovered survey equipment, not only in an orderly manner, but also at an extremely fast speed.
In less than half an hour, all military ships had returned.
Not only Zhan Donglai, Gilt and others were confused, but Qu Jianlei and the others in the grotto also looked surprised.
Mu Yu frowned, "Is it a trap? The military can't be so easy to talk to."
Qing Hu also raised his eyebrows, "I'm going to take a look. There are so many outsiders here... How dare they be so shameless?"
Qu Jianlei raised his hand and put on the wooden armor on himself, "It's better for me to go, everyone be prepared for emergencies."
"You are the boss," Qinghu blocked the door and covered himself with gold armor.
"If you take the lead in everything, what do you want our teammates to do?"
"That's right," Mu Yu raised her hand and put another piece of rock armor on Qinghu, "I'm just checking the situation."
The next moment, the stone door opened, and Qinghu walked out, wearing four layers of armor: gold, wood, rock, and ice.
The warship was indifferent to the situation below, but others turned their heads and looked over.
——That’s a bit exaggerated. Are you still preparing for war?
In a hidden space in the void, an extremely weak fluctuation appeared, followed by an inaudible whisper.
"The first acquaintance... actually has his own destiny."
The military ignored the situation on the planet and hovered in space for five or six minutes before the three warships launched again.
Silently, they moved away from the star and headed towards the depths of space, just as they came.
Seeing them drifting away, Zhan Donglai couldn't bear it anymore. He looked at Qing Hu and said, "Friends, what have you done?"
The two of them had met at a banquet before, so they were not strangers. They had even toasted each other, so it was normal for them to call each other friends.
"Nothing has been done," Qinghu replied casually, "We are a little strange too..."
She was not a talkative person to begin with, but now she had doubts in her heart, and she didn't want to say more.
Seeing her indifferent look, the others were quite speechless.
Are you a little weird? Haha, the really weird people should be us, right?
After the warship disappeared from sight, Ping An's people confirmed with Zihong officials again: Can the contract be signed?
However, the officials were obviously hesitant, and some people even said so.
"The military has said that it may be a star in the Walker Nebula. Is it really appropriate for us to just ignore it and sign it?"
"What's inappropriate!" Gilt blew his beard and glared angrily.
He originally didn't want to mess up the relationship with the officials too much, but please find out, even the military left without saying a word.
He felt more and more how powerful the thigh he was holding was.
So his courage naturally grew.
"Don't say it may not be a star in the Walker Star Cluster. Even if it is, can't these resources be developed with private funds?"
The quarrel soon reached Zhan Donglai's ears.
He pondered for a moment and finally made a decision, "Everyone with the military warrant has left. Let's do whatever we need to do."
Everyone came with great fanfare, but if we don't get something done, how will we explain it when we go back?
Others tried to continue applying eye drops, "But the military takes it so seriously, we have to be cautious."
Zhan Donglai was so angry that he cursed, "I am a civil officer, and what the military thinks... is none of my business!"
This is really not because he lacks self-cultivation. The division of camps is a matter of right and wrong. He must stand on the right side!
People from the business alliance also came forward to make their presence known, "Even the wealth of the traveler is just tailings. What big thing can happen?"
Half a day later, the signing ceremony was completed and the two official starships left.
Qu Jianlei, Gilt and others stayed on the star for another three days, settling all matters before Shi Shiran returned.
In fact, the reason they stayed here for a few more days was because they were also waiting for a possible response from the military.
The military's withdrawal was too decisive and confusing - just as sudden as their appearance.
Although Qu Jianlei and others agreed that the possibility of the opponent turning around and fighting back was very small, it was always right to be lenient when expecting the enemy.
Therefore, it is better to wait. If something changes again, it is possible for our side to attack with force.
Zhan Donglai and others were there a while ago, as well as other government department officials. Qu Jianlei did not want to expose Xiaohu unless he had to.
There is no need to think too much now. The military is really going to be in trouble. At worst, after the first battle, everyone will continue to be on the run.
As a result, their return to Zihong Star would be three days later than the official time.
In the eyes of ordinary people, it is completely normal for the official signing team to come back first.
After the official procedures are completed, you must come back as soon as possible. People who are safe can deal with the corresponding matters. It doesn't matter if you come back a few days later.
But in the eyes of those who are interested, it is worth pondering. At least the military has tasted it differently.
When Imperial Storm decided to leave, it did not give a detailed explanation to the military and simply announced that the operation was cancelled.
With his status, he is enough to support this arrogance.
With the approval from the military department, the Tianhe military couldn't ask too many questions, but they were still curious and secretly observed Ping An's movements.
After confirming that the other party came back three days late, the person who thought less thought, "You are really brave enough, and you are not afraid of accidents at all."
But people with an above-average IQ will at least think, "Are these people arrogant, or are they emboldened?"
Both the military and the government have issued a hush-hush order, prohibiting further discussion of the matter, and the authority for confidential matters has been raised to the highest level.
The empire is still very good at information control.
However, among the people who followed Zhan Donglai, there were people from the mining management and transportation management departments themselves.
In these two departments, it is almost impossible to completely block the news.
The mining management department was originally in a low state because of Schreier's death. After hearing the general situation, I really didn't dare to act like a monster anymore.
No one dared to mention the keyword "supreme", but the fact that the military's three warships left in disgrace was real.
Even in the military's internal information, there are records of three warships leaving and conducting a "training exercise" in deep space.
There are powerful people behind Schreier. The reason why he didn't have a strong reaction at the beginning was just to get to know his opponent clearly.
Not everyone is as stubborn as him. In fact, people behind Schreier are somewhat critical of Schreier's behavior.
When the news came this time, no one from the mining management department proposed shares.
No one dared to jump out and embarrass the procedures that followed safely.
The transportation management department still behaves lukewarm, not mentioning dry stocks or giving up.
But when people from Ping An go to work in this department, at least no one dares to kick them out anymore, and the work efficiency is extremely high.
There is no need to explain the reactions of other parties one by one. In short, the mining of energy stone mines is progressing quite smoothly.
Schreier's death was no longer investigated by anyone, as if the whole world had forgotten him.
Qu Jianlei and others returned to Shanshui Xiaozhu. This trip to space gave them a strong sense of crisis.
Initially, everyone thought that their small team was capable and powerful enough, so they inevitably felt a little complacent.
But this time the military suddenly dispatched, they realized that the team was still too weak.
It's okay for those behemoths not to care about us, otherwise even if they move even slightly, they won't be able to compete with their size.
They were always confused about the abnormality when the military left.
Until the whole story is understood, no one will simply think that the matter is completely over.
So when they returned to Shanshui Xiaozhu, they not only remained low-key, but also maintained a high degree of vigilance.
However, after a few uneventful days, Qu Jianlei decided to assemble the computer set worth 1.6 billion again.
It's not that he feels it's really safe at this moment, but he would rather take risks and must speed up some calculations.
For example, the teleportation array must be improved and perfected as soon as possible.
If "ground-to-ship teleportation" were not used as a trump card this time, everyone would have much fewer choices.
It is possible that Xiaohu didn't tell the truth, and the attitude of everyone at that time would not have been so calm.
There is also the calculation of the super spirit gathering array, which has been interrupted for a long time and it is time to continue...
To activate large computer groups at this moment is to take risks and grab time.
Qu Jianlei had already prepared for the worst. If he encountered a powerful sudden attack, he would decisively abandon Shanshui Xiaozhu.
He will temporarily dismantle the units and transport as much as he can - with the teleportation array around, the possibility of transporting them all is not small.
He explained his ideas and won unanimous support from other team members.
The paranoid simply said, "Why don't we also set up the spirit gathering array? At worst, we will dismantle it all together..."
It is faster to dismantle the spirit gathering array than the computer group, but the "abnormal energy" such as spiritual energy is more troublesome to remove.
It can easily attract the attention of various official instruments. Once identified, the consequences cannot be underestimated.
However, Qu Jianlei nodded simply, "I support it. If you really want to run away, you will have to expose yourself a little more."
The equipment worth 1.6 billion may not be saved, and the shares in the energy stone mine will be lost, so the rest... is really not important.
As soon as these words came out, tension suddenly appeared in the quiet manor.
Hua Scorpion was a little worried about Bentley and others, "Then how long will it take for us to return to the paradise?"
Qu Jianlei replied thoughtfully, "Just wait a moment, there is no exposure there, and there is no big problem at the moment."
By noon the next day, the computer set was assembled.
When Qu Jianlei was debugging the unit, two ordinary version of the spirit gathering array were also built, as well as an ordinary version of the gas gathering array.
As soon as the formation was opened, it started a crazy mode of devouring energy blocks.
Various elemental auras began to fill the formation, and spiritual energy spurted out crazily.
Qu Jianlei, who was debugging the unit, shook his head: When the computer unit starts up again, it will burn energy blocks.
However, it's very futile.
At this moment, in the clouds about ten kilometers behind him, a vague shadow flashed and there was another soft sigh.
"It's really spiritual energy...but how should we meet? It's such a headache."
