With the addition of Crystal Falcon's captives, the number of Doomsday Shadows has reached close to 5,000, and the scale has returned to half of its peak. The change in strength made Chu Jungui's vision wider, and he accidentally saw the base of Crystal Falcon. Just thinking about it, Chu Jungui felt that he should not touch the base until Agnes left. She won't stay here long anyway, so it won't be too late to wait until she leaves and a new person arrives.
Moreover, Chu Jungui instinctively felt that Agnes was not an easy person to deal with. These young generals of the Federation react very quickly, and they are often unexpected. Joseph and William successfully rescued Hathaway, and Gamble, who succeeded him, became increasingly difficult to deal with from the initial consecutive defeats to the subsequent heavy losses to the Shadow of Doom. The same goes for Agnes.
The attitude of the girl and Li Ruobai towards this was completely different.
The girl wanted to mobilize a large army, so she captured Agnes and her troops in one fell swoop, then packed them up and sold them to the Federation.
However, Li Ruobai felt that having just collected the ransom and done business, the two sides were in a de facto truce, and it would be unethical to take action at this time. According to past practice, a general who redeems himself should return to the battlefield after a period of time. Even if he returns, he must change the battlefield.
Chu Jungui didn't expect that there were so many complicated rules, but even if there was no war, he still had too many things to do. The first thing is to increase the number of tanks to 500. With this base number, there is no need to fear the A-level beast tide. Now thanks to Agnes breaking through the beast nest and preparing to break through the second beast nest, the number of war beasts in the entire area has been greatly reduced. Now there is basically no beast tide around the Shadow of Doom.
Then it was time to build the second ark. The Ark has fully demonstrated its irreplaceable role in previous battles, and almost one can withstand enemies on a regional battlefield.
In addition to the defense force, Chu Jungui devoted almost all of his productivity in this rare free time to producing power furnaces. The number of power furnaces in the entire base increased at a rate of two per day. After a few days, the overall energy supply of Shadow of Doom had exceeded 5 million KW, and its development was still accelerating.
In the blink of an eye, the time for the second transaction with the Tianyu Fleet has arrived.
Chu Jungui and Li Ruobai drove a slightly modified transport ship through the storm clouds to the scheduled handover location. A high-speed frigate from Tianyu is already waiting. This time Chu Jungui delivered 4 tons of crystalline hydrogen in exchange for 10 tons of various rare metals, and two specially designed Cambrian master brains.
The design structure of the Cambrian has lagged behind for hundreds of years, the materials used can be seen everywhere, and the design drawings are so old that they are almost extinct. Even the young people in the academy who are just starting to learn mastermind design will not start with it. It is not difficult at all to produce base-type supply ships for the Sky Fleet.
With the rapid expansion of the production scale of Doomsday Shadow, a single Cambrian Master Brain can no longer cope with the needs of the entire production area, let alone support research needs. Therefore, Chu Jungui ordered two enhanced Cambrian Master Brains. Once the two new master computers are in place, one will be assigned to the production area and the other will support research. The girl's improvement of the Prometheus architecture has come to an end. When it is completed, the new generation of biological mastermind will have performance close to the Cambrian, but its adaptability to the environment will far exceed the Cambrian. Moreover, the scalability of the system must also exceed the Cambrian. In other words, as long as there are enough biochips, the upper limit of computing power can exceed the Cambrian.
The transaction was completed quickly, and the Tianyu frigate left the scene directly without any greetings or unnecessary communication. The only thing it did was to send a copy of the recent battle report.
After returning to the Shadow of Doom, Li Ruobai found Chu Jungui and said, "Jun Gui, something is wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"There are too many battle reports. There have been more than 20 major and minor conflicts in the past 10 days, with both sides suffering destroyer-level losses." Li Ruobai looked worried.
"what does that mean?"
"Whether it is powerful reconnaissance or patrol search, high-speed frigates are the best choice in limited-scale conflicts. Both sides are very flexible, can fight and retreat, and will not feel sad if they lose. Negotiations when resolving conflicts are also easy to handle. But Destroyers are different. The cheapest high-speed frigate can be won for 1 or 2 billion, but destroyers all start at least 2 billion. This is a qualitative difference. The loss of destroyers means that both sides send out ships based on starship warfare. The target’s main fleet. This has already stepped on the dividing line between a full-scale war and a local war.”
"It's already been fought like this, isn't it still a full-scale war?" Chu Jungui was a little surprised.
"Of course not." Li Ruobai looked around to make sure the girl was not there, then pulled Chu Jungui aside, lowered his voice and said quickly: "I just searched for the latest news during the transaction. Until now, both parties have Some people are working hard for a ceasefire, and even more people are joining the ranks because they realize that the scale of the war is at risk of getting out of control. The most important of these efforts is Xinyi and Xiao's engagement."
Li Ruobai said while quickly displaying relevant information on his personal terminal.
"Xiao? Oh, I've seen it..." Chu Jungui looked at Xiao's photo and thought of this young man with unique charm.
"have you seen?"
"Nothing. But how come an engagement becomes the most important endeavor?"
Li Ruobai said: "The Xiao family and the Tianyu Li family are huge and have extensive influence. The combination of the two families will definitely designate a considerable part of the resources to the descendants of Xinyi and Xiao. This will create A neutral family with great power. It is also the guarantee for the alliance between the two families. Anyone who promotes the war will become the enemy of the two families. It may not be a big deal during the war. When the war is over, you will find that they also have the same level in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. enemy."
Chu Jungui frowned slightly, "A matter as big as ending the war is just focused on the marriage of two young people? Don't you think this is unreasonable? Have you asked them about their wishes?"
Li Ruobai was a little surprised by Chu Jungui's reaction, and then said with a wry smile: "This is very common. Even I will most likely obey the family's arrangements in the future, if I don't meet the right person. Besides, I have never met someone as good as Family arrangements are more appropriate. If you look at the entire marriage cycle, the basic family arrangement is the best arrangement."
Chu Jungui shook his head, feeling a little disgusted instinctively. He couldn't tell where the disgust came from, but he just said: "Even if our choice is not so good, it is our own choice, and we will naturally bear responsibility. Why Do we have to make arrangements?”
Li Ruobai also sighed and said, "What you don't understand is that some old guys like to point fingers, saying that they don't want to see young people take detours. You will understand when you meet them in the future."
