With Rose in front and Chu Jun behind, they climbed over the ridge again and returned to Horizon 2 Base.
At this point most of the tanks were no longer burning. When their internal oxygen is used up, combustion will no longer be supported on this planet.
There were rows of corpses piled up in the open space. A dozen federal soldiers were busy dragging the corpses of their colleagues out of the tanks and placing them next to the pile of corpses.
This was the last thing done for the Union war dead.
The colonel was shocked to see the rose. He also didn't expect that a guy who had a status like a demigod in the minds of ordinary soldiers would be captured alive.
Lin Xi was also taken aback and hurried over, gun on guard.
"Is there any chariot that can drive? Give him one. I have reached an agreement with him and am ready to let him go."
Lin Xi was a little surprised, but did not question Chu Jungui's decision.
But all the chariots were damaged, and none of them could be driven. The fact that some people can still survive under the terrifying firepower shows that the quality of these tanks is quite excellent.
Hearing Chu Jungui's words, Mei Mei turned around and said, "Do you really want to let me go?"
"If we don't let you go, are you still going to fight with us? Or do you think I should kill you?"
Rose said: "If you are really ready to let me go, then give me a car, some food and water. Do you have a spare workbench here? I can make a car myself. In addition, I can use this design I want to trade this car with you."
Rose directly sent over a design drawing. Chu Jungui opened it and saw that it was a design drawing of a light all-terrain off-road vehicle. The design of the vehicle is quite outstanding, that's all. The most important thing is that the body components are made of a lightweight alloy. The performance of this lightweight alloy, named Rania 5, is better than all the formulas Chu Jungui carved.
Chu Jungui could tell at a glance that the most valuable thing about this design was actually the alloy formula. I don’t know if Rose really doesn’t know, or if she is pretending to be confused.
However, Chu Jungui was at a loss at the moment. As long as he didn't have it in his hands, he would accept any design drawing. What's more, Rania alloy ranks among the top performers in the entire federation, and its formula is priceless.
"Okay, the workbench is over there. Get whatever materials you want." Lin Xi also knew the value of Rania No. 5 alloy very well, and readily asked Rose to build her own motorcycle.
Rose is obviously also a veteran of alien survival. She is extremely skilled in operating the workbench. In a short time, a single-person four-wheel all-terrain vehicle is completed. It is powered by a set of fuel cells and has a range of about one thousand kilometers. It is comparable to what can be achieved Return to Shadow Fortress.
Chu Jungui handed a bottle of water and some food to Rose. Rose took it, looked at Chu Jungui deeply, and drove away.
It wasn't until the all-terrain vehicle disappeared on the other side of the mountain that the colonel came back to his senses and said blankly: "Let him go like this? Why don't you shoot him in the back?"
Lin Xi patted him on the shoulder and said, "If it were you, I would make up for it."
Roland did not dare to say anything more and continued working with the soldiers.
Chu Jungui gave the design drawing of Rania No. 5 alloy to Chip to see if it could be optimized. The result is not surprising, naturally it cannot.
Chu Jungui was not depressed either. The real value of the No. 5 alloy formula is that the required elements are found on most planets. Its performance mainly comes from the unique internal crystal structure, so it is very versatile. As long as most of the ingredients are found, it can be used. manufactured.
At this time, Lin Xi connected to the private channel with Chu Jungui and asked, "Why should you let him go?"
"He was seriously injured, and he had a special status, and he had provided enough ransom materials. So it doesn't matter if he is released."
Lin Xidao: "Under normal circumstances, just a formula for alloy No. 5 is enough to redeem one's life. It is impossible to get this formula even if you kill him. But if you let him go, you won't have to worry about him killing him again later." come back?"
Chu Jungui smiled and said: "It would be good if he came. It would be troublesome if the two guys you mentioned come. Rose, this guy is very powerful, very strong, but his command ability is a mess. I like it Such an opponent, that’s why we let him go.”
Lin Xi said helplessly: "I really don't know how to say hello to you. I hope we are not playing with fire."
"What to do with these soldiers?" Chu Jungui asked.
"Those who are willing to surrender will hand over the authority of their armor, and those who are not willing to surrender will take off their armor, leave only a respirator, and walk back by themselves." At this time, Lin Xi showed his decisive side.
Not to mention that Horizon 2 Base is a thousand kilometers away from the Federation Shadow Fortress. Even if it is only 100 kilometers away, without the auxiliary power of the armor, it will be a dead end to walk back.
So the surviving federal soldiers chose to surrender.
This time, the materials collected from the tanks were very rich. A total of four complete tank power packages were obtained, as well as nearly a ton of high-energy tank fuel. I got eight sets of chariot fusion energy packs. The tank gun can be obtained by disassembling all parts and reassembling it, and six sets can be obtained. Finally, there are the artillery shells. There are thousands of shells for various types of main guns. For a while, you no longer have to worry about firepower.
The wreckage of the chariot can also provide hundreds of tons of various basic metals. As long as the refining furnace is sufficient, the supply of materials will not be a problem for the time being.
The question now facing Lin Xi and Chu Jungui is whether they should continue to migrate.
If it is mainly a mobile base, the advantage is that it is flexible and can escape at any time to get rid of the federation or the beast tide. But if you don’t establish a fixed base, it will be difficult to truly develop.
This is a dilemma.
Lin Xi had no good ideas, and Chu Jungui also had a headache. Although Roland can give some suggestions, they are just suggestions. A key question is whether it is the beast tide that is difficult to deal with, or the federation.
Regarding this problem, none of the major components had a good solution. Chu Jungui was helpless and continued to crack the agent chip. The progress unexpectedly reached 5%. Then his thinking speed increased significantly, and he realized a problem that he had ignored before.
He grabbed the colonel and asked, "Why doesn't the Federation have air troops?"
Roland was startled and said to himself: "Yes! Why are there no fighter planes?"
In the 35th century, although the position of the planetary civil war machine is not as overwhelming as in the 21st century, it is still a vital part of the tactics. The Lancers have been fighting on Planet 4 for more than a month and have established a complete fortress. They receive a steady stream of supplies every day. Why are there not even a single fighter plane?
Roland hadn't realized this before. At that time, he was busy dealing with the beast tide every day and couldn't even sleep, so he couldn't think of so many things. At this moment, when Chu Jun Guiyi reminded him, he realized something was wrong.
He thought for a while and said: "I don't know the specific reason. But neither Joseph nor William ever mentioned fighter planes, and they never asked for planetary fighter reinforcements from the rear. It is impossible for them to make such an obvious mistake, so I Guess, there may be something extremely terrifying in the sky of this planet. It will not pay attention to conflicts on the ground, but flying in the air will offend it."
