After a long wait, a new wave of beasts arrived belatedly, once again failing to erase traces of human existence from the earth.
In the Doomsday Shadow Fortress, Kyle looked at the damage report and said with a wry smile: "It's not that I haven't been on the battlefield before, but I always feel that the casualties are just numbers. Only now do I know that 500 people were torn to pieces by wild beasts, and 500 were killed by energy weapons. People who evaporate instantly are completely different.”
"500 is a lot, but not much. If you saw our previous battles, you wouldn't say that. Anyway, you have plenty of time to adapt." Joseph said.
William asked the adjutant: "How is the research progress of the new generation of transport ships? One or two transport ships are lost every time, which is too great a loss. In addition, regarding the fact that the intelligence level will be reduced on the surface of the planet, Legion Is there any result from the research center?”
The adjutant flipped through the records and said: "The preliminary design of the new transport ship has been completed. The new design is equipped with a layer of special anti-ion armor that can be shed. Preliminary calculations will increase the survival rate of the transport ship to more than 90%."
"Preliminary calculation?" Joseph sneered, "What data did they use to calculate it? The same guys said that the pass rate was 100% when they logged in for the first time."
Herman next to him was a little embarrassed. After all, the researchers in these research centers were his colleagues.
"What about reduced intelligence?" William changed the subject.
"The research center said that they have no way to study the planet's surface in orbit, and it is recommended that the Planetary Surface Research Center conduct its own research."
Heman's face suddenly darkened. With such a severe decline in intelligence and the lack of almost all research equipment, what else can be studied? Philosophy, politics, or metaphysics?
William was not angry at all. He thought for a moment and said, "I think it is necessary to organize another fire reconnaissance. This time it is best to go to the beast's nest and have a look. According to past experience, we should approach the beast's nest one day later. When we get close, the base should launch a wave of missile strikes. Even if there is any danger in the beast's nest, we can retreat in time."
"Agree." Joseph did not hesitate.
Kyle shrugged, "Why don't we just stay in the fortress instead of taking risks outside?"
"The result of staying at home is to look at the missiles and grow eyes." William put an end to all the controversy in one sentence.
At Base No. 2, Lin Xi came to the research area of Le Mans and pushed in the door.
In the laboratory, Le Mans was holding a research report in one hand and a sandwich in the other, taking a big bite.
Lin Xi was startled, and Le Mans was also stunned. His mouth opened wide, and the sandwich he had just bitten fell to the ground.
Lin Xi's eyes fell on the sandwich and saw two slices of whole wheat bread, tuna sauce, and a fresh green vegetable leaf. No matter what it is, it shouldn't exist in Base 2.
"I, let me eat something." Le Mans forced out a twisted smile, and then added, "I'm hungry."
Lin Xi nodded and looked at the laboratory.
Le Mans moved his body, then smiled bitterly, and stood there honestly.
Lin Xi's eyes fell on an experimental cabinet with a half-open door. She walked over and opened the cabinet door.
There were some materials piled haphazardly in the cabinet, covering a shiny machine. It seemed that they were planning to use the materials to block the machine.
Lin Xi pushed aside the materials, looked at the machine, and said, "Food making machine?"
"Yes."
"I haven't seen this design before."
"This is a special version. It is a limited edition of the Space Pioneer series based on forest food. It has been redesigned. It should have never appeared on the market."
"Pioneering limited edition, I've heard of it. You can actually modify the design of forest food. What a talent." Lin Xi glanced at Le Mans.
Le Mans was in high spirits just now, but when Lin Xi glanced at him, he was instantly like ice water pouring down from his head, and there seemed to be flames burning under his feet. For a moment, he subconsciously wrung his hands and bit his lip. He was so nervous that his bald head was sweating, and all the remaining hair was stuck to his skull.
Lin Xi looked at him with a half-smile and asked, "Since you improved it on the basis of the limited edition, what's so special about it?"
"this……"
"explain."
"It's like this. I'm really tired of the same taste of energy rations. It's too greasy, too salty, smells fishy, and it's not pretty. So I plan to build a food machine myself, which tastes just a little bit better. There will be an improvement, but the color, shape and taste of the ingredients will be qualitatively improved! For example, this vegetable leaf..."
Le Mans was excited for a moment and opened the cabinet door of the desk. It was full of fresh vegetables such as greens and carrots. This seemingly ordinary cabinet was just used to store documents, but he secretly transformed it into a fresh-keeping refrigerator. As for these vegetables, of course they cannot be grown, but are made by food machines.
After opening the refrigerator, LeMans realized that he had done something stupid again.
Lin Xi came next to him, squatted down, picked up a few vegetables and looked at them, then picked off a lettuce leaf and asked, "Is it clean?"
"Absolutely clean." Le Mans' face was ashen, but he was calm.
Lin Xi put the vegetable leaves into her mouth and chewed them gently. The vegetable leaves are crispy in texture and even have a hint of herbal fragrance! Although real lettuce leaves should have a fragrant aroma of grass and trees, it is rare to consider that this is something processed by a food machine, and the raw materials are actually organic matter, mainly meat.
However, upon closer inspection, there is still a hint of fishiness, which is a slight flaw.
However, it is quite rare to achieve this kind of taste.
Lin Xi was noncommittal and asked, "How is the research going?"
Le Mans suddenly realized that he had a chance to survive, and immediately said: "There is considerable progress!"
Lin Xi raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh, really? What kind of progress are they?"
"There is progress in both research on Le Mans crystals and the new special species of giant rhinoceros!"
"Take it and take a look."
Le Mans immediately sent several research reports over. Lin Xi read it carefully. These research reports are only prototypes. Not to mention the concise and beautiful format, even the complete structure is not yet complete. They are obviously in the draft stage, and some are not even as good as drafts. They only put forward conjectures, and some of them have been verified by data.
However, Lin Xi can already infer from these first drafts that Le Mans is most likely on the right path and has achieved initial results. Indeed, as he said, the two series of experiments have made considerable progress, and this bald man is not bragging.
After reading it, Lin Xi closed the report and said, "Le Mans, the progress is indeed good. But I still have to remind you that these studies are not only related to the prosperity of the base, but also to our life and death."
"Yes, I understand."
"About that food machine..."
"I will destroy it immediately!" Le Mans said quickly.
Lin Xi shook his head: "No need, just build another ten and put them in the living area. If there are good things, everyone should share them."
Le Mans turned from surprise to joy and nodded desperately.
Lin Xi said no more and left the laboratory. If the research progress hadn't been really good just now, the fate of the food machine might have changed.
