Zhong He's armor modification was finally completed after two more rotations of Groups A and B.
It was a little later than he expected, probably because the maintenance technician was changed once during the period - he just went to the work surface to help out, but he got infected and had to change the general in the middle, and the work handover was delayed for some time.
It is indeed very troublesome to poison the environment.
Even though Zhong He was used to seeing similar scenes, he still frowned.
As far as he knew, at this time, the isolation personnel of the fifth mobile company had increased to 25 people, accounting for 40% of the total personnel, and the progress of the operation surface was only more than half.
It is said that after discussions with Luo Zuo and Tao Xian, Ronan rearranged the groups and personnel. It is necessary to allow some quarantined personnel with mild symptoms to enter the rotation.
The increase and decrease in personnel is an extreme test of project management skills. As the leading project manager of the Fifth Mobile Company, Le Zuo is going crazy with his work.
So much so that when Zhong He went to find him, he almost didn't have time to speak and directly gave him the permission to repair the vehicle as agreed in advance.
It should be said that Ronan should be responsible for the project management of the fifth mobile company. But in wartime, everything cannot be measured by common sense. On this mobile repair station, that's LeZo's job.
The problem is that the extremely important principle of personnel rotation is stipulated by Ronan, so that the senior sergeant chief of the Kushu tribe must dance with shackles, which is quite passive.
Zhong He didn't say anything about this, and just asked casually, "What is Lieutenant Ronan doing?"
"Preparing lessons, um, maybe also preparing for meetings."
"..."
Le Zuo raised his head and waved his hand in disgust, "Go to the rest area to find him."
Zhong He didn't care about this attitude and turned to leave.
The temporarily modified double-layer armor was derived from the maintenance technician's standard equipment, and it inevitably had some bloated style. Walking inside the mobile maintenance station, it looked basically the same as everyone else passing by. Just from the appearance, it is almost impossible to tell that this is a school-level officer.
If it weren't for an entire base of "slicing instruments" buzzing around him.
Even so, the most other people would do was pay attention to him when they saw him, and they were basically in a hurry.
But Zhong He still found that when he came out of the workshop this time, there were many more idle people in the mobile repair station. Although everyone is coming and going in a hurry, their purpose is not strong, and most of them are infected.
Zhong He shook his head.
That Lieutenant Ronan was an extremely talented research person. His self-organized "quasi-paradigm" of teaching methods, simplified analysis of the physical and spiritual structure, and his attainments in ritual ancient characters were quite extraordinary.
In addition, he can calmly use the inner universe simulator to conduct modeling research, and he has made great achievements. It can be said that he is unique among young people.
However, like most promising geniuses, this person's approach is too "conservative", or to be precise, he is "self-conscious" and always wants to do things that are extra sure.
This is especially true in the arrangement of "Bufa".
At that time, when I saw him letting the long tail of the "Electric Hydralisk" pierce the armor of the maintenance station, I thought he was a very courageous person. Now,
It seems that it is a pity.
After all, he is different from desperadoes like his own.
Then again, in the eyes of most people, what Ronan did was the right way.
After all, he was still young and had plenty of time to wait for the empire's major research institutes to provide him and his people with a reasonable, balanced, and almost foolproof plan.
After that, he can rely on his academic research results to enter the Hanguang Ancestral Court or the Senate, become a trainee shaman priest or technical assistant, and make full use of his status as a "migrant" to take the path of a "minority" representative and become a "minority" representative in the Three Kingdoms. Become a member of the Empire's elite within ten to fifty years.
This is basically a clear and fast upward channel.
Zhong He had seen many similar things over the years and didn't think Ronan had done anything wrong.
In fact, it is quite remarkable that such future elites of the empire can respond to the call, join the army when the "Two Star Gate" battle comes, and work on the front line battlefield.
Even if your acting style is more conservative, you can't be too demanding.
Zhong He didn't hate this person.
But as far as project management on the job is concerned, the arrangement of this young chief officer is too stable. If his rotation principle is implemented, it will be very stable in the early stage, but not optimistic in the later stage.
Since the beginning of the world, whenever there is a large-scale war, ensuring zero infection of personnel on duty in a poisonous environment in the wild is the key point that every version of military drills tries to emphasize, but in reality, it is still too idealistic.
The frontline battlefield will teach every newcomer a bloody lesson: don’t expect to find jobs here that are thoughtful or elegant enough not to involve blood; the same goes for decision-making.
Although Zhong He asked where Ronan was, he would not deliberately look for it. His time was also very precious, and the difficulty of his task was much higher than the underground operations of the fifth mobile company. He is not free enough to teach a new leader.
However, the rest area and the storage area for individual maintenance vehicles are exactly in line...
Things often just happen.
After a few steps, I was almost crossing the rest area, when I heard someone saying hello. She wasn't calling him, but her voice matched that of the young man.
"Sergeant Bao Long, it's time for you to hand in your homework."
The person who just passed by Zhong He heard the voice and turned his head, "Lieutenant!"
Although Sergeant Bao Long stopped, Zhong He, who had already walked past, also stopped unconsciously. The syncopators surrounding him had given him away.
Ronan stopped Sergeant Bao Long and greeted Zhong He, "Is Colonel Zhong leaving?"
Of course Zhong He knew that everything that happened inside the "Soil Ranger" could not be hidden from Ronan, so he simply said "hmm".
He was not in a hurry to talk to Ronan, he just wanted to see how the young commander communicated with his subordinates.
At this time, there was Medical Officer Tao Xian beside Ronan, and there was a shining projection work area beside him. That's right up there
It is the "constellation chart" created by Ronan.
In addition, the work area is also divided into an area, which vaguely depicts something.
Zhong He's sharp eyesight saw the medical officer pointing his finger at a certain location on the "constellation map". The corresponding location inside the maintenance station was the Sergeant Bao Long who was stopped.
As for the portrait in that corner, it's unclear whether it's Bao Long or not - after all, it can't be seen through the double-layered armor.
Ronan also turned to Bao Long and said, "Have you finished filling out the questionnaire?"
"Uh, filled it out."
"Why wasn't it sent?"
"forget."
Bao Long felt a little dizzy, but he still took the time to send the questionnaire to Ronan.
Ronan did not continue to criticize, and only said, "You are the only one missing. Don't forget to go to the meeting later."
"Ah, I'm going to change a part, and I'll just come... Aren't you going to class?"
"In communication class, everyone has to speak."
While Ronan was talking to Bao Long, Zhong He walked straight forward and looked at Medical Officer Tao Xian.
Tao Xian glanced at him and did not refuse.
So Zhong He saw that in the area on the edge of the "constellation map", the very simple and rough portrait was that of Sergeant Bao Long - at least that's what the relevant information showed.
The information beside the portrait includes not only basic information such as name and age, but also the minutes of a face-to-face conversation and the questionnaire that was just sent.
In addition, in the lower left corner of the portrait, there is also a complex glyph that seems to be an ancient Chinese character for rituals.
It is completely conceivable that the relevant information is not limited to Sergeant Bao Long. I'm afraid that everyone, at least all those who have been contaminated by evil, has such a share.
Zhong He knew what kind of "communication class" Ronan was going to give, but he didn't expect that he had to make so many preparations for the class.
This is the front line. Although it is not a life-and-death battle with corpses everywhere, it is still full of dangers. Ronan still has the time to do this!
This seems to go beyond the scope of "conservative"?
Can't tell the difference? Or do you have other plans?
Ronan was still talking to Sergeant Bao Long, but it was almost chatting, and it also involved some technical issues on the job.
Zhong He couldn't figure out the context, so he turned to look at Tao Xian again, his eyes focused on the other man's chest.
The crystal array fire there was, to be honest, not particularly stable. It was swaying constantly, and there were some erratic smoke and holes in it. At first glance, it looked like some kind of totem.
But in the unstable overall situation, all totems look full of ominous omens.
Zhong He was expressionless as he was thinking. Over there, Ronan also ended the brief conversation, let Sergeant Bao Long go, turned around, faced Zhong He and said with a smile
"Colonel Zhong is leaving, and I have nothing to offer. This basic 'slicing instrument' can be considered as a small gift."
After a pause, he added, "It is best for individual maintenance vehicles to pass under the working surface. About seven hundred meters forward, there is a group of holes, which can be used as a temporary hiding spot...
In fact, I hope Principal Zhong can rest until we leave. "
"Are you leaving? Ten hours?"
"There are still four hours left for the mission."
"You can't finish it." Zhong He concluded directly.
Ronan was still laughing, "It's a little difficult, but you can't admit defeat in advance."
Zhong He wanted to tell Ronan his analysis, but years of experience told him that saying these words at this time has no meaning other than offending people.
He hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "You are too conservative in front of me. The infected will still go in."
“A sharpened sword never wastes time as a woodcutter.”
This is like a common saying, probably passed down from the history of Ronan's species, and there is a wonderful sense of confidence in it.
Zhong He still wanted to say it, but finally shut up.
Ronan and Zhong He walked together for a short distance, but neither of them spoke anymore until they arrived in front of the simple conference room in the rest area.
Tao Xian in front opened the door and walked in first.
Zhong He stopped for a moment and took a look outside the door. He felt that there should be infected people inside, and the atmosphere was quite dull and subtle.
Tao Xian entered, the fire was swaying, the light and dark on everyone's faceplates were uncertain, and the projection workspace that was always turned on added a more blurred color to the scene.
Ronan nodded to Zhong He, "I'm going to the meeting."
"Thanks for the help, looking forward to seeing you again."
"I won't give it away, take care."
Ronan walked in, Zhong He continued to walk forward, and what Ronan said was heard in the conference room: "...In the early communication, I found a few relatively homogeneous issues. In this communication class, we will discuss these first. "
The door closed and the sound was no longer so clear. Zhong He should still be able to hear it if he wanted to listen, but it was meaningless.
He shook his head again and finally left.
Soon, Zhong He drove the individual maintenance vehicle away from the belly of the soil ranger and entered the permafrost rock formation.
Far away, the "slicer" outside his body was still circling, and indeed continued to work, covering up the pheromones on his body that were involuntarily dissipated due to flaws in the cloth design.
This is obviously not controlled by Ronan, but it is running on its own according to the "quasi-paradigm" arranged in advance.
Ronan is indeed a technical genius.
Zhong He once again confirmed this evaluation.
He followed the route given by Ronan and passed through the working surface from below. He actually passed the group of holes in the middle, but he did not stop and continued moving forward.
But at the same time, he also used some tricks on the individual maintenance vehicle. The point penetration engine of this thing can only support short distances, which means that he will abandon it soon. And this is still within the detection area of "Iron-Eating Beetle" and "Electric Hydralisk". If handled properly, it can be somewhat concealed and will not cause trouble to the fifth mobile company.
As for whether the last team of dozens of people can survive, and who can go back intact, it depends on the blessings of the ancestors.
The problem is, the "ancestor" of the company commander doesn't seem to have much ability...
