The soldier was still young and somewhat confused by the colonel's anger. However, he was quite clear about the current situation, and the colonel was his superior in the Federation, so he did not dare to resist, so he cheered up and worked hard.
At this time, an older man came over and moved the wood with the colonel, and then cut it into pieces that could be fed into the equipment.
He worked without raising his head, and suddenly said: "My name is Duke, and I am the major of the 3379th Lancer Planetary Tank Battalion. And now, I am the only one left in my battalion."
Roland said: "It's all the same. I have more survivors of my hoplite brigade than you... eleven."
Duke looked around and saw that no one was paying attention. He lowered his voice and said, "I see that you are very serious about your work. Is this necessary? I mean, what we have to deal with now is our own people."
The colonel immersed himself in his work and said, "Whether we work seriously or not, the results will not change. Do you understand?"
Duke obviously had some objections, "Are they so powerful?"
"More powerful than you think."
"Just two junior agents."
"Think about it carefully, how much did it cost to wipe out the herd when we first landed?"
Duke was startled.
Roland looked up at him and said, "I have a wife I have lived with for 15 years and four children. I don't want to die here and go back alive to see them."
Duke said: "I also have children. But we are fighting here now, can we go back?"
"There may be a turnaround in the future."
"What's the turning point?"
Roland refused to say it clearly, and just said: "Whether there is a turn for the better depends on how powerful these two little guys are."
Duke thought thoughtfully and said, "You mean..."
The colonel nodded, "Yes, in some cases surrender to Special Operations will not result in a court martial."
“We are surrendering to agents, are there more exemptions?”
The colonel smiled, just glanced at Duke's personal terminal and said nothing.
Duke nodded and continued working.
Roland and Duke were the two highest-ranking Union soldiers. They all began to work hard, and the other federal soldiers saw this, so they put away their thoughts and worked hard.
The addition of nearly twenty new troops has increased the speed of base construction several times. Lin Xi increased the number of refining furnaces and separators to ensure that the supply of basic materials could keep up with everyone's work speed.
Chu Jungui was adding code to the chip and studying the workbench of the advanced version of Alien, while quietly working behind the scenes to speed up the cracking process while the chip was running at saturation. This is indeed effective, and the cracking speed has been greatly improved. What is strange is that as the chip cracking progress increases, more and more computing power is occupied by Chu Jungui, but the chip's computing power continues to increase, and the research progress has also accelerated. .
In the blink of an eye, the mother star's day passed, and Planet No. 4 entered dusk again. The sky gradually became gloomier and the wind gradually became stronger. From time to time, lightning as thick as a bucket would fall from the sky and hit the double-leaf forest.
This is the unique storm weather of Planet 4. Not only has the double-leaf forest become a restricted area for life, but the surrounding area is also very dangerous. The entire forest underground almost turned into a huge plasma pool, constantly rolling and boiling.
Some federal soldiers subconsciously put down their work and rushed to high places, watching in awe this scene filled with the power of heaven and earth. Even in the Star Sea Era, not many people had seen a strange scene full of violent beauty like the Twin Leaf Forest.
Lin Xi looked at it, but gradually frowned.
Chu Jun came back to her and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Lin Xi pointed at the double-leaf forest with countless thunderballs floating in the distance, and said: "Look, even some special military chips may not be able to operate stably on this planet, and some sensitive equipment cannot go close to the woods. In other words, We can't make a simple chip, and if we make it, we can't use it. It'll break in a thunderstorm."
Chu Jungui smiled and said: "Isn't this a good thing? Everyone has to return to the original level and develop from scratch. Only in this way can we be on par with the Federation. If it were a planet with a normal environment, how could we be like this? Now stand here like this."
"Yes. But without a chip, I still feel very uncomfortable. I have to do everything by myself."
Suddenly there was a flash of lightning in Chu Jungui's mind, as if a very important thought flashed through his mind, but he couldn't catch it for the moment. He frowned and thought hard, trying to find an idea from the clues just now.
Normally, the workbench corresponding to each level of agent has two versions, low-end and high-end, and the equipment that can be produced is also different. At the same time, both versions of the workbench can be optimized according to the local environment of the planet and turned into an alien version of the workbench.
Low-end versions of the workbench are already capable of making entry-level chips, as well as devices that come with them. High-end workbench can manufacture processor-level chips, but the performance remains hundreds of years ago. However, on Planet 4, except for personal chips, any complex chips cannot work properly.
This is also the reason why some advanced equipment cannot be manufactured. The Alien version of the workbench, based on materials native to Planet 4, is likely to overcome this problem and produce chips that can withstand the environment.
However, Chu Jungui and Lin Xi have been fighting non-stop since they landed. Until now, they have not really gained a foothold, and Chu Jungui has not bothered to study the transitional alien version workbench. He planned to skip the primary level and directly study the alien version of the secondary workbench.
The research on the alien version of the workbench is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the material requirements are quite complex. You must have the alien version of the organic matter separator, detector and editor before you can start the research on the workbench.
The research itself will take 2 days, and this is Chu Jungui's chip. If it were Lin Xi, it would take 5 days or even longer.
Skipping an intermediate step should not be a problem and will operate normally in many cases. So why does Chu Jungui feel as if he has missed something?
The test subject thought over and over again, but couldn't find any clues, so he had no choice but to give it up and continue working.
Those federal soldiers were still immersed in the majestic scene of heaven and earth at this moment, and one by one they put down their work. Chu Jungui did not blame him. All test subjects need to rest and relax occasionally, let alone humans.
Chu Jungui looked up at the sky. The thick clouds were rolling continuously, and there was a faint light inside. It was unknown how much thunder was brewing deep in the storm layer.
"Anyway, the enemy won't attack in this weather." Chu Jungui thought, casually placing a second-generation dual-mounted mechanical keyboard on the gun mount, and then turned around to get the ammunition box.
As soon as he turned around, his ears caught an unknown sharp whistle.
