Chapter 292 (1/2)
The emergency state of the base was lifted an hour later, but Yang Mu and other mecha teams received double patrol tasks. Yang Mu gradually realized that there might be some big man in the current situation.
This idea was also confirmed in the routine patrol of the 13th team. When he saw the small Starfleet moored in the outer space of the base, Yang Mu understood that it was because someone came here.
Yang Mu didn't think much, just continued to do his own work, carefully inspected the surrounding.
In the command room of the base, however, a farce of fighting for military merits is being staged at the moment.
After waiting for a long time, Qiu Zhong received the commander Shen que who came to inspect secretly. Along the way, Qiu Chong always grasped the topic. At Shen Que's insistence, he gave up taking the other party to take a rest first. Instead, he began to patrol around the whole base to check the equipment of each place.
Then, in the command room, Qiu Chong introduced the data of his base to Shen que. At this time, Youte, who had been following him, suddenly opened his mouth in the gap of words.
”Lord Qiu, the ore reserves of base 6 have reached the standard in this quarter? Is it far beyond expectation? ”
A sudden word, but suddenly let the enemy who had been controlling the situation suddenly stagnated, and there was a trace of bad look in his eyes, but he immediately laughed and wanted to quickly skip the problem.
”Yes, with the joint efforts of the whole base, the amount and content of various resources extracted this quarter have reached the standard.”
”Not only that, we have also strengthened the defense system. After testing, the strength of the energy shield of the whole base will be increased by 10%, which is enough to withstand more than two rounds of attacks from large attack ships and guns.” Qiu Zhong talked incessantly, but Yu te, who was standing behind, did not want to miss the good opportunity and said again.
”Lord Qiu, if I am not wrong, the reason why this base can reach such a high level is because you use more star crystals?”
Yote said to the other side, pointing out the key, and did not hide the desire in his eyes.
Qiu Chong's face was stagnant again, and his eyes were even colder. At the moment, the air in the whole command room was freezing.
”Cough.”
At this time, Shen que, who had been standing on the throne, opened his mouth, and his tone was very unhappy.
”Yote, I allow you to follow me here, not to see you come here to find fault.”
Hearing Shen Que's words, Youte stood aside in a hurry and respectfully, and said, ”general, I definitely don't mean that.”
”Then shut your mouth!” Shen que suddenly rebuked the other party.
The whole command room was one of the stagnant personnel and looked over one after another.
But Shen que stopped after saying this, and turned to look at the enemy beside him.
”Qiu Chong, don't cover up with these things. I already know about the star crystal. You can tell me about the Star Crystal directly?”
Obviously, Shen que, as the direct commander of this star field, has seen things very thoroughly. He has already understood the small tricks of Qiu Zhong and Youte, but they haven't mentioned them all the time. It's also because Shen que doesn't want to get involved in such simple things.
But now, ute even broke his face to say all this. The contradiction of the matter has already occurred, which is not what Shen que wants to see. Moreover, Shen que, as a superior officer, can't just stand by and watch the two senior officers fight for such a thing.
In this case, it is better to make this matter clear now.
”Don't worry, I won't take sides with any of you, but you should also tell the truth.”
At the moment, Qiu Zhong heard that Shen que still wanted to take care of this matter, but he was his Shangguan after all. A trace of gloom flashed on Qiu Zhong's face, but he said slowly at once.
”Report to general, the star crystal was discovered by accident during a patrol exploration mission two months ago.”
”As you know, there are no resource stars in the area under the jurisdiction of our base 6. Most of them are asteroids. It is very troublesome and heavy to complete the assigned task of resource extraction every year. ”
”The Star Crystal discovered this time is our top priority. It was also included in the mining plan at the first time. However, there was a short period of time for us to change our defense. Just a few days ago, we just resumed mining. As a result, we met with a small team of machine armour from other countries. After our fighters fought hard, they finally subdued each other. But at this time, they were among the No.5 base However, the mecha team suddenly appeared from nowhere, and wanted to come to pick up the credit Qiu Zhong said so, or with his eyes to show you te and others.
”Commander Qiu, you can't say that. But our team leader told me the truth. It was clearly that your team was in a passive situation. Our people showed up in time, which defeated them and solved your crisis.”Ute started to fight back at the first time, and listed the attacks of his own team to support his statement.
”Besides, Mr. Qiu, you have to think about it. If we hadn't intercepted the mecha team on the way, if the other party knew the specific location of the star crystal, it would have been a worse situation.”
You te didn't want to end it like this, instead, he continued to embellish it. At this time, Qiu Chong's face was full of gloom, but he turned his head and looked at Shen que. He obviously wanted Shen que to make a decision.
Shen que looked at the argument between the two men, but turned to ask, ”how much is the reserve of crystal in this star?”
However, Qiu Zhong shook his head awkwardly: ”there is no way to find out for the time being, but now a small part has been mined, and three tons of purified ore have been obtained.
” three tons?! ” When ute heard this, he was shocked.
You should know that because of its rarity, the reserve of this star crystal will exceed five tons at most in the place where it is discovered. But now, the other party said that only a small part of the crystal was mined, there was already a full three tons.
This made ute more determined to fight.
Shen que, who heard all this, also raised his eyebrows. Some of them couldn't believe it, but at this time, Qiu Chong continued: ”one ton of high-quality and high integrity can be directly used in the Starship engine, and the rest can be ground into powder and used for other purposes.
After hearing that the proportion of high-quality crystal is so much, Shen que looks serious.
Although there are often some shocking discoveries in the SONET region, this discovery is no less than any discovery. Such a large number of star crystals will obviously bring great benefits, and will be of better help to the next operation.
But Shen que didn't show all this on his face. He just lowered his head and pondered for a moment. He had the answer in his heart. Then he said, ”I've got it clear. I'll report your military exploits in person. You te, don't you want some star crystal to support the defense? I'll approve it here. Qiu Zhong, what do you think?”
Hearing Shen Que's words, Qiu Chong's face was pleased, and he quickly nodded his head. However, it suddenly occurred to you that you te, who was standing beside him, got some results different from his expectation. At the moment, his face was full of unwilling expression.
”General...”
”I know that you have made contributions. Naturally, I will think about it carefully and promise you that the star crystal will be given to you. What else do you have to say?”
As soon as Shen Que's words were said, people immediately understood that Shen que was pulling a partial frame, and obviously he was leaning towards Qiu Zhong. At this time, Qiu Zhong became active and quickly came up to you and said to you, ”Lord Youte, don't worry, we will give you enough star crystals to strengthen it The shield. ”
At the moment, ute's face was full of discontent, but now there was no way to say anything more. Besides, the general had already agreed to some of his requirements. Although his purpose of coming this time had not been achieved, there were still some advantages.
Thinking of this, Youte still felt a little discontented, saluted Shen que, and then went out directly.
