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

The silver-haired man looked to be at least 60 years old, with obvious signs of aging on his face.

But the whole person is still tall and straight, with bright eyes and very capable.

Judging from the current average human life expectancy in the Federation, the 60s are far from the time to rest.

However, in the environment of Hoshino Tuohuang, this age is unique.

The person was ushered in, and greeted Rong Di and Ren Zimo: "Good afternoon, both of you, I am Song Chang, the captain of 'Pure Black 1'."

Rong Di also nodded in response to the person's gaze, and led him to a seat.

Song Chang still held a silver gift box in his hand, and placed it directly on the table in the center of the viewing room: "This is a gift entrusted to me by Lord Chunyu. It is a special mineral of our pure black base, a pure and transparent mineral. Gemstones are very suitable for jewelry."

The gift is not heavy, but the meaning of goodwill is very clear.

"I didn't expect Lord Chunyu to be so polite. It's a pity that we don't have anything to offer in return." Rong Di responded.

"It's nothing. The lord has always believed that the entire Hoshino base in the eastern district should watch over and help each other so that we can tide over difficulties together." Song Chang then sat down, sitting opposite Rong Di and Ren Zimo, without much greetings, the topic turned to seriousness The situation has improved, "The lord is very much looking forward to your continuous development in the future and making more contributions to the overall war situation in the eastern region."

If the style of the members can reflect the behavior style of the master of the base, then from these few performances of Song Changjinmen, it can be seen that Chunyu Yuan's practical characteristics are much more reliable than that of the Hoshino Administration.

Rong Di followed Song Chang's topic and chatted: "How is the situation on the front line now?"

"The situation is not good." Song Chang immediately became serious, and even his body tensed up.Without hesitation, he replied to Rongdi's words, which showed that he knew the situation on the front line very well, "This time, the discovery of the extraterrestrial stage was too late, the star beast has left the initial development environment, and lost the opportunity to catch them all in one go, so now The battlefields are basically in a state of anxiety. Moreover, this time the star beasts are very cunning, their movement trajectories are irregular, and they like to act in batches. The entrapment tactics used by the military have not been able to achieve obvious results."

"Then can I understand that the base camp of these star beasts hasn't been found yet?" Rong Di asked.

"It seems that you have some understanding." Song Changmu showed appreciation, "At present, the large troops of the military department are cleaning up the escaped star beasts and looking for their lairs. The other Hoshino bases are responsible for detecting the situation of their own planets and trying to suppress the tide of star beasts. However, because the strength of the military is also very limited, there is very little support for the Hoshino base. Therefore, the current strategy is good for high-level bases, but very unfriendly to low-level bases. Yes. Since the beginning of this year, many low-level bases have suffered heavy losses due to the impact of the star beast tide, and even directly scrapped, they can only wait for the search and rescue team to rescue them."

Ren Zimo asked: "Do you know what will happen to those Hoshino bases that cannot be maintained and failed?"

Song Chang is very willing to talk about these topics: "Then it depends on whether the military department or us are going to rescue."

"Is there any difference?" Rong Di raised his eyebrows.

"Of course, the people in the military department are not so easy to talk to. If they are rescued by us, they are usually directly incorporated into our base. If it is the military department, they need to stay in the refuge camp of the military department. For a period of time, wait until the military department and the Hoshino Administration have finished wrangling, and then assign them a new place."

"If you ask for help, will you definitely leave the original planet?" Ren Zimo asked again.

Song Chang sneered: "Your base has been smashed, how can you stay where you are? Surviving in the wilderness? Then you overestimate those pioneers."

those pioneers.

The words of the silver-haired captain caught the attention of the two of them for a moment.

This is not a statement that contains itself.

Rong Di and Ren Zimo looked at each other.

Ren Zimo showed an attitude of seeking knowledge, and continued to dig into the topic he had caused: "Is there anyone who asked for help in an emergency, but finally let them return to their original place? For example, those who have not suffered serious losses, choose for help."

Song Chang frowned first: "There is indeed this possibility. If the original base can still be used, maybe they will be allowed to return to their original place. But this situation is very rare. At the end of the battle, all the pioneers are guarding their own bases If the timing of their rescue is right, there happens to be a rescue team nearby, they go in time, and the situation is under control, they may not take people away. If they don’t have the strength to stay, save the capital If they are rescued, they will not be sent back, otherwise it will be waiting for their second call for help."

"After those pioneers were rescued, did their bases stay where they were? Is there no way to recover them?"

"Of course, people don't care about it anymore. There is no air traffic control for these dead things. It is not a high-value thing for the Hoshino Administration."

"Then these failed and rescued bases will be delisted from now on? Are their Hoshino Lords and base names still retained? Where can I see the list of these bases?"

"That's gone." Song Chang shook his head, "If these bases have reached the third level, like you, even if they fail, they won't want to be remembered! But you can still find the names of these bases on the forum But the specific situation, I am afraid that only the survivors of this base can tell you clearly, and the Hoshino Administration will not deliberately record it. As for the 1st and 2nd level bases, no one will know. Receive They won’t go around talking about these people’s bases.”

Ren Zimo nodded, showing a stunned expression: "No wonder the bases in the Eastern District are so new. It seems that many new bases cannot withstand the pressure of the star beast tide and cannot develop."

Song Chang's eyes changed, but he quickly suppressed the emotions in it.

"It should be," he replied vaguely, "I don't know the situation either."

At the end, he took a sip of the water prepared by Rongdi and the others.

It's unnatural, but it's not noticeable either.

If it hadn't been guessed earlier.

While Song Chang bowed his head, Rong Di and Ren Zimo exchanged a look again.

Rong Di showed a tone of knowing nothing, and first praised Song Chang: "Lord Chunyu specially sent you here, which is of great help to us. There is no way to know many things without asking you. Although There is no star beast tide here on planet No. [-], but there is no way to guarantee that it won't be our turn."

Song Chang came back to his senses, and subconsciously glanced at the window behind Rong Di and the others.

Then, he frowned seriously: "I also read it on the way here just now. Your foundation is too weak, and those mechs don't seem to have a solid foundation. If you encounter a wave of star beasts, it will be very dangerous. Prepare well in advance. You don't even have the most basic concrete walls. I'm afraid that the first wave of star beast tide will rush to the gate of your base, and it won't last long. Judging by the development trend of your disregard, it is also an overestimation The defense of this base has been compromised, the Hoshino Administration will not give you really good things in vain."

Ren Zimo couldn't help interjecting again and asked, "When we left the Hoshino Administration, they said it was a military base with the highest refuge level. Will it be as vulnerable as you said?"

It is because it claims to have the highest level of comprehensive protection and evacuation capabilities, including dealing with various emergencies such as the impact of the star beast tide, so even the smallest base of 200 people needs to consume high points of Lord Hoshino to be exchanged.No one would not care about the points, but if you want to take the team out to open up wasteland, this point cannot be used.

They chose the largest base, which consumed even more points.

Song Chang showed a sneer after trying his best to restrain himself: "I don't need to lie to you, if you don't believe me, just try it and you will know."

"Of course I don't doubt this. After all, the situation in the Eastern District is clear at a glance. The smallest number of bases is the place where the largest star beast tide takes place. All are prosperous and all are damaged. Only by helping each other can there be a real way to survive. On this point, I It is consistent with Lord Chunyu's point of view." Rong Di smiled and continued, as if sighing, "It's just that I didn't expect that the power of the star beast tide is so great, and we haven't left any bases in the past so many years. Think about it. People also have to be careful."

These words are actually full of temptation.

But Song Chang didn't seem to be aware of Rong Di's temptation, he just lowered his head, and his attitude was very vague: "It's useless to investigate whether the old bases are good or bad. Now this group of people can survive well."

The temptation did not get a clear result, but it was considered to have an answer.

Logically speaking, the pure black base is now the leader in the Eastern District.If Song Chang had only experienced the development of pure black bases, he should be most qualified to feel indignant that those bases in the past were useless.

Being so calm, on the contrary, shows that there is a problem.

Rong Di didn't expose it, and continued to exchange pleasantries: "You seem to be a year older than us, did you come out to pioneer early?"

Song Chang hesitated for a moment, his desire to communicate changed from when he first came here, and he answered slowly after a long while: "Yes, I don't live anywhere. If you are old, you won't come out. It is estimated that the training camp You can’t pass that level.”

"It's too self-effacing of you to say that. Lord Chunyu has always said that you are sent here this time because you are the most experienced captain of the pure black base. If you hadn't left the primary galaxy back then, how could you have seen it with your own eyes? The scenery of the vast star field. For this, I envy your work. The transport ship travels around in the Eastern District, and you are already very familiar with this piece of the universe. It is enviable." Rong Di praised him again.

"You young people think too well of Xingye." Song Chang sighed softly.

"You have been out for so long, you should have accumulated enough achievement points, right? Why didn't you go back?" Rongdi asked again with concern.

Song Chang avoided Rong Di's eyes: "I get used to it when I get older, and I don't know what to do when I go to the Federation."

"Going back is a lot of restrictions, but at least it will be safer than Hoshino, without the direct threat of the star beast horde."

Song Chang smiled self-deprecatingly: "That's not necessarily the case."

It's just that he said it a little lightly, and he didn't want to talk about it.

He immediately met Rong Di's gaze, and talked about another topic: "This time, the lord also asked me to introduce to you the needs of other bases in the Eastern District. The environment of the garbage star and your geographical location, directly encounter star beasts The possibility of the tide is still relatively small. Therefore, your greater role is to take on the role of logistics support for the bases in the entire Eastern District. You have a deal with the Bone Base, and I believe you know their situation, even if it is a level 4 base , it is also difficult to maintain a high production capacity under the bombardment of the star beast tide. Without the assistance of external forces, they may not be able to persist for a long time. You still do not have your own production system. In the future, we can develop in this direction. In the long run, in the past few decades, the tide of star beasts may not really subside, at most there will only be occasional flat periods. This is the case in Hoshino East District, and a base that adapts to the environment can be better Development. Now the high-level bases in the Eastern Region are basically animal pests and wasteland planets, and the level of logistics bases such as Garbage Star, Protostar, and Mineral Star is still very low. This is also the biggest flaw in the current situation in the Eastern Region. Your current level is not enough to have direct production and advanced defense equipment, but there is no harm in laying the foundation for heavy industry in advance. If you have the ability to hold some technologies in your own hands and develop more, it is also a very good long-term investment You have a lot of people, and it would be good if you can train some spaceship pilots in advance. After all, in terms of total resources, B-level mineral stars may not be as good as yours, but the recycling of garbage is more difficult."

Rong Di didn't organize Song Chang to give Jiangshan advice, and while signaling Ren Zimo to record these suggestions, he also sent an invitation to Song Chang: "You can give us some suggestions in the past two days, after all, you must have seen a lot of bases. "

Song Chang was very interested in this topic, and he nodded his head again and again, sweeping away the vague sluggishness in front of him.

At this point in the topic, the host and guest chatted happily, with smiles on their faces, and the scene was very harmonious.

The conditions of the Yi base were not particularly good, Rong Di didn’t deliberately keep people living here, and then called Gao Peng to send them back to the transport ship, and only made an appointment the next day to introduce the Yi base to Song Chang The situation here.

Only Rong Di and Ren Zimo were left in the auditorium.

But neither of them spoke for a while.

Facing some of the information he wrote down later, Ren Zimo tried to grasp the information that Song Chang had unintentionally disclosed.

After a while, he came back to his senses and realized that Rong Di was still thinking.

Probably feeling Ren Zimo's gaze lingering on his face, Rong Di slowly regained his senses and turned to look at him.

"What are you thinking?" Ren Zimo asked.

Rong Di glanced at the recording board that Ren Zimo was still holding.There is a lot of information on it, and the key points have been specially circled.There was something strange about Song Chang just now, and he didn't miss it at all.

As always, it is very worry-free.

Rong Di smiled and said: "I was thinking just now, could it be that Chunyu Yuan sent this person to us on purpose? Does he know that we found something wrong?"

Ren Zimo was a little surprised: "It should be... a coincidence."

"Or," Rong Di said again, "I didn't think of this possibility before, how much does Chunyu Yuan know?"

"Know what?" Ren Zimo still didn't follow up completely, "You mean the problem of faults in the eastern base?"

"More than that." Rong Di sighed, "It's more than that."
