The lord of salted fish does not want to engage in construction

Under normal circumstances, the tasks that Hoshino Base will encounter can be divided into several types according to the degree of freedom to complete.

The first type is those tasks that can be issued by individuals in the free trading market, with the least restrictions. The person who issued the task may go back on his word.

The second type is the tasks issued by the Hoshino Administration and its certified institutions and enterprises, which can be freely chosen by each base.If it is really impossible to complete the connection, a corresponding bad record will be generated, but there is still room for the base to refuse, and the coercive force is also very small.

The third type is the task directly assigned by the Hoshino Administration to the Hoshino Base.The typical representative here is the upgrade task of each level of the base. The reward is clear, unlimited time, and failure is allowed. Although you must accept it, you can drag it on if you can't finish it. If you can't complete the task, there is no reward, and there is nothing else bad consequences.

The remuneration that Rongdi earned before mainly came from the first two types of tasks.

The mandatory completion of time-limited tasks that Ren Zimo mentioned is not among all known task types.

When Rong Di returned to the command room, Ren Zimo had already learned something about the situation through text messages, and his expression was very bad: "The supply ship has not even left, but there is a mandatory time-limited mission. The Hoshino Administration is too much! "

"Call and see the specific situation." Rong Di didn't say much, and sat down directly in the work area.

The Hoshino Territory examiner's reaction was also quick, and then Elaine's appearance appeared on the light screen in front of the two of them: "Good afternoon, both of you."

"I heard that you are going to bring bad news this time." This time, Rong Di was not as polite as last time, and cut directly to the subject without wanting to waste time.

There was still a polite smile on Elaine's face, but she felt a little embarrassed when she saw Rong Di's reaction.

This is not easy to answer.

"From the perspective of easy base, maybe it's a good thing." The woman with brown curly hair tightly coiled behind her head also straightened her back, put away her smile, and showed the solemnity of a middle-aged person, "But It's really not good news for the Federation."

She kicked back the accusation in a more formal way.

Coping was also tough.

Rong Di met her eyes and immediately understood what she was going to say next.

"It seems that you have some understanding." Elaine said bluntly, and her eyes were completely settled on Rong Di, "Let me introduce the latest situation that the Hoshino Administration has grasped."

"Half a year ago, signs of a new wave of star beasts began to appear in the Eastern District of Hoshino. The military headquarters and the Hoshino Base under the Hoshino Administration responded accordingly. However, the signs were not extinguished in time." Elaine also No nonsense, directly called up the map to display during the video call, "This is the map of Hoshino East District."

What appeared in the picture was a light blue three-dimensional figure that looked like a seashell from the side. Because its edges and outlines were artificially outlined, it appeared more vivid.

One side of the part shaped like two scallops faces Rongdi, and the other side faces Elaine.

This shell, outlined by countless galaxies, has its belly close to the federal infield, and then opens its mouth in the direction of the void in the constellation Boötes.

In the middle, there are many galaxies scattered.

From this picture, the entire Hoshino East District can be divided into three parts: shells, shellfish and shells in the horizontal direction.

"Do you know anything about the star beast tide?"

It is you who are asking, but actually Elaine only looked at Rongdi.

"I don't know much about it." Rongdi replied calmly, "But I have experienced it."

These words stunned the other two who were listening.

Elaine frowned, while Ren Zimo was shocked.

"It happened on the garbage planet you lived on before?" Elaine asked, "It's not recorded in your personal file."

"Since they are all planets in the East District of Hoshino, it is normal for them to be affected." Rong Di was indifferent and said it easily, "But I was young at that time, and I didn't have the opportunity to learn external information, so I'm not sure if it belongs to you or not." Which record in the data."

Elaine sullenly remained silent for a moment.

Rong Di's response disrupted her original rhythm of expression.

"Tell me about the star beast tide you want to introduce, this is what you want us to pay attention to, right?" Rong Di didn't let Elaine hang around, and gave her a step to continue expressing.

Elaine's eyes turned to Rongdi again, and the wrinkles between her brows deepened. "Since you don't understand, let me introduce it together." She pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and turned to the map she showed, "The tide of star beasts broadly refers to drastic changes in the activities of star beasts. The situation that has a substantial impact on the original operating order of our society includes not only bad influences, but also positive events such as some animal husbandry planets’ unexpected harvests. But when we talk about the Star Beast Tide in the Hoshino Administration and the Military Department At that time, it specifically refers to the sudden large-scale activities of the star beasts in the star field, and then the large-scale damage to the star field environment. And this is something we absolutely don't want to see."

"The occurrence and development of the star beast tide can be roughly divided into two stages, one is intraplanetary activities, and the other is extraplanetary activities. Usually, the first thing that appears is intraplanetary activities, and then develops to extraplanetary activities. And for For us, the situation that absolutely cannot be allowed to exist is the tide of star beasts in the stage of extraterrestrial activities."

"The reason is very simple, you should all understand. Just like us humans, as long as the star beasts can cross the shackles of a planet and carry out activities in space, their lethality is not the same as the activity in the planet. Finally I believe you have all heard of typical cases.”

Elaine opened another chart that can be superimposed and viewed.

That's a list.

"The most famous extraterrestrial beasts are the ones on this 'List of Extinct Creatures'." Elaine circled the first three names with her cursor, "The most famous ones are Zerg, and there are also cosmic bacteria and Xizu."

Rong Di listened without changing his face, and motioned Elaine to continue.

"I won't say much about the dangers of the star beast tide. You can find a more detailed introduction on the star net."

Elaine nodded, accepted the list, and typed out another picture.

After superimposing, a string of red dots appeared on the shell that originally symbolized Hoshino East District.

The most obvious settlements appear on the shell near Elaine, and there are a few open areas scattered in the middle of the shell.

"This is the situation of this star beast swarm." Elaine tapped the string of red dots, "This is where the situation is most serious now, and extraterrestrial activities have already occurred."

She marked another blue dot on the map, which appeared on the outermost edge of the shell near Rongdi: "This is the location of Planet One."

There is still a noticeable distance between the points of the two colors.

"I saw the news, said Zerg?" Rong Di asked.

"Yes, to be more precise, it is the Orthoptera Zerg." Elaine nodded affirmatively, "This time the star beast tide first occurred half a year ago, during the active stage of the planet, but it happened on multiple planets at the same time. Because The monitoring was timely, so there was no spread. But at the end of the cleanup, it was discovered that the early monitoring had slipped through the net, and it had developed to the stage of extraterrestrial activities. Orthoptera is not strong in combat among the Zerg, but it is very destructive to the environment and develops rapidly Yes. Because it was not discovered in time, the overall situation quickly became serious, which is the situation we are facing now. The red dots you see are the planets that still have abnormal star beast activities. "

Now the situation is clear.

Why did Elaine pull this information about the star beast tide before enforcing the time-limited mission.

"Easy Base is not the only base in the Eastern Region that I am in charge of. I can understand your resistance." Elaine finally got to the point, "If possible, the Hoshino Administration would not want to use the special authority to issue mandatory time-limited missions. For the base of the mission, although it is troublesome, the final harvest is usually a benefit. The achievement value of the mandatory time-limited mission is very high, and there are also generous rewards. But for the Hoshino Administration, every time a mandatory time-limited mission is issued, it is usually It means that heavy losses have already occurred or are about to occur. Therefore, I hope that the two of you can correct your mentality this time and cooperate with our work."

The line of justice has been finished, and the atmosphere of the call has also sunk.

Elaine still had that serious expression, staring at the situation at the other end of the command room, hoping to wait for some reaction from being touched.

However, she didn't see a picture that satisfied her.

When Rong Di heard half of it, his attention had already moved away from the map.

His upper body, which was originally sitting upright, leaned against the back of the chair at some point, and leaned back slightly, with both hands resting on the armrests, without any movement.

The focus of his sight fell on the empty operating table, and he couldn't see through it.

Elaine knew that he must be thinking.

It's just that the state he presented seemed to be frozen, and he didn't reveal the slightest inner signal.This seemed so calm that those who were forced to observe began to panic inexplicably.

On the other side, Ren Zimo sat upright, his eyes fixed on the displayed map, and he frowned in thought.

He didn't speak either.

"This time the mandatory task is to be completed by all the bases in the eastern region." Finally, Elaine couldn't hold back and continued to convey, "In order to avoid the uncontrollable spread of the star beast tide, all bases need to collect them within a week. The biological information of the designated star beast species on the planet where it is located, and cooperate with the Hoshino Administration to complete the area investigation. I will send you the specific information of the mission now. If you have any questions, you can ask me now."

Hearing this, Ren Zimo moved, his gaze met Elaine's, and then turned to Rongdi, asking for instructions.

"Since it is a compulsory task, we have no right to refuse." Rong Di seemed to be awakened by Ren Zimo's gaze, and looked at Elaine, "What about the punishment for not being able to complete it? Is there any?"

"Of course." Elaine nodded, "The achievement value will be deducted, and the supply opportunity will be frozen, depending on the actual completion."

Ren Zimo was dissatisfied: "Is there any punishment?"

"Forcing is understandable. I think, since this collection is for the purpose of investigation, the indicators should be supported by scientific theories, right? If there are obvious planetary differences, it may not be appropriate." Rong Di did not object, but raised Another thing, "So, I don't think you guys would mind if I post the mission request I received on Dahuang Station?"

Elaine's expression froze instantly.

"You must know the style of our base, it has always been like this." Rong Di chuckled, "No problem, right?"

"Of course...no problem." Elaine laughed dryly, ending their exchange this time.

After the call, Rong Di returned to silence again, not knowing what he was thinking.

Ren Zimo was barely relieved after confirming the mission details sent over.

At least I didn't see a very excessive request.

Turning his head, Rong Di remained in the same thinking state as when he was talking just now, and there was no movement.

Ren Zimo originally wanted to briefly report on the mission requirements, but when he looked at it, his thoughts suddenly changed.

His eyes turned from Rongdi's face to his whole body.

Rong Di is tall, even if he is sitting casually, he still has a strong sense of presence.

Now that there is no one in the easy base, because he rarely shows up, no one will despise the lord in the slightest.

But what Ren Zimo was looking at at this time was what was behind this powerful appearance.

He asked, and couldn't help but soften his tone a bit: "Just now you said that you encountered a wave of star beasts."

Rong Di raised his eyes and met Ren Zimo's gaze.

"How old was that when you were?"

Mr. Lord showed the first relaxed smile when he came back to the command room, and the corners of his eyes slightly raised: "I should have told you when I returned to the Federation? If you want to encounter the star beast tide, you can only have it before then." .”

"You may have said it, but I'm not sure now." Ren Zimo didn't become brisk.

"13 is old."

Rong Di hooked the corner of his mouth.

"I met when I was 13 years old."

The author has something to say: Ren Zimo: This map...

Elaine: Hoshino East District has a vast area, so our situation is very serious!

Rong Di: Well...

After hanging up the phone.

Ren Zimo: (suspicious) Do you agree with what she said?

Rong Di: What?

Ren Zimo: What she said just now...

Rong Di: Shells?Well, that's kind of like it.I'm hungry, little Momo, what time is dinner today?

Ren Zimo: ...
