Duan Xuyan's troops also participated in the mopping up. Cleaning up is very important. The scene must be cleaned up without leaving any clues to the federation. At the same time, everything that needs to be taken and moved must be taken away. This trip cannot be in vain.
Duan Xuyan thought it would be a hard battle and was prepared to lose half of his men, but he didn't expect that when Chu Jun came back, he won the entire base with an overwhelming advantage. This would undoubtedly add to his resume, as he was the overall commander of this covert operation.
It was a pretty flawless operation, except for the loot.
According to the regulations of the dynasty, all spoils of war in regular operations belong to the dynasty, which means that everything in the base, from supplies to prisoners, is now the property of the dynasty. This disappointed Chu Jungui, who originally planned to take away the mastermind and the scientists.
Duan Xuyan could only explain and comfort that these people and things would be returned to the Federation in the future, and they were the bargaining chips in negotiations. If Chu Jungui had taken anything, these prisoners would be watching and would report it in the future. At that time, even he, a colonel in independent service, will be in trouble.
In the end, Duan Xuyan thought of a compromise, that is, Chu Jungui could make a copy of all the data in the master brain. Anyway, this thing can be copied infinitely.
The base master brain contains some basic scientific research data. Chu Jungui doesn’t know how to use these things yet, but it is obviously very valuable, so he found a few spare master brains, copied the data, and moved Got on the spaceship.
While his subordinates were busy cleaning up the battlefield, Duan Xuyan took Chu Junhui to the top floor of the main building of the base and sat in the lounge that only supervisors and senior executives could enjoy.
Duan Xuyan searched without ceremony and found out a lot of cigars and fine wines, among which there was actually a bottle of treasure that was over 200 years old. Duan Xuyan opened it without politeness, found two cups, and poured one cup each for himself and Chu Jungui.
At Duan Xuyan's signal, Chu Jungui sat down on the sofa. There is a coffee table between the two of them, facing the entire floor-to-ceiling window. At the moment, the blazing sun is hanging high on one side, while the other half of the sky is occupied by blue gaseous planets. The atmosphere here is thin, there is no blue sky, only deep black covering the earth.
"The scenery is nice." Duan Xuyan took a sip of wine, thought about it for a while, and continued: "Wine is even better!"
Chu Jungui picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He felt nothing special.
Duan Xuyan saw Chu Jungui's appearance and said: "This wine itself is of good quality, and after hundreds of years of precipitation, it has reached another level. You can see that its body already feels like honey. The aftertaste is sweet and complex. If you taste it carefully, you can distinguish at least dozens of flavors. You just drank it blindly, take another sip and try it."
Chu Jungui picked up the wine glass and took another sip. Duan Xuyan's eyelids twitched, he shook his head repeatedly and sighed: "This wine is not common. Even I don't have a few bottles of the same grade in my collection. You drink like this." Can you... taste the taste?"
"A little bit." Chu Jungui nodded.
"How many kinds are there?" Duan Xuyan obviously didn't believe it.
Chu Jungui hesitated for a moment. He could distinguish 570 different flavors in the sip just now, which was indeed complicated. But the problem is that there are at least 200 kinds of them that the human tongue cannot distinguish. How should he answer this?
"Some." Chu Jungui answered vaguely.
Duan Xuyan only thought that Chu Jungui was bragging and did not get to the bottom of it. He poured another glass for Chu Jungui, and then said while tasting the wine: "I can't tell that there are so many good products in this place. If it weren't for the In this case, I really want to make friends with him. He is a classy guy."
Chu Jungui looked at the dozen wine bottles on the table next to him. Duan Xuyan had found these from all corners. Many wine bottles had a sense of history at first glance. Although these wines have not been opened, spectral analysis of the wine bodies shows that some of them are hundreds of years old.
Duan Xuyan slowly tasted the wine, sighed with satisfaction, and said, "It's really comfortable. Drinking this kind of wine makes you feel like you're drinking time."
Chu Jungui felt that this mixture of hundreds of chemical substances seemed to have nothing to do with time.
Duan Xuyan put down the drink and asked seriously: "What are your plans for the future?"
"I don't know." Chu Jungui did not tell the truth completely.
Duan Xuyan had obviously thought about it and said: "With your relationship with Xinyi, I won't treat you as an outsider. You are still young and have a bright future. I think you will face some new things soon." troubles. Someone will come to win you over, and someone will promise you many attractive conditions to invite you to join."
"I have no interest in joining a faction."
Duan Xuyan shook his head and said: "Neutrality itself is also a faction, just a transitional faction. There is nothing wrong with joining a certain faction. The faction itself represents the interests of a certain group of people. What you need to consider is whether you belong to Just belong to this group of people.”
Chu Jungui said nothing, quietly waiting for the next sentence.
Duan Xuyan said: "Because of your relationship with Xinyi, you have been regarded by many people as a member of the Li family in Tianyu. In this case, it is better to walk around with us more, and you can ask if you need it. What do you think? ?”
"If there is really a need, I will make a request." Chu Jun returned.
"Very good!" Duan Xuyan looked very satisfied, poured another cup for Chu Jungui, and said, "Here, drink this cup and finish."
"What about those?"
Duan Xuyan glanced at the row of old wine and said with some reluctance: "Those are trophies."
"Isn't this bottle?"
Duan Xuyan smiled and said: "Any trophy will suffer some loss, as long as it is within a reasonable range, it is acceptable. For example, if a bottle of wine is missing, it is nothing, but if the best batch of wine is missing, it is a bit unreasonable. . Regulations are regulations. No matter how strict the regulations are, there is still some room for flexibility. It just depends on how you grasp it."
Chu Jungui looked at Duan Xuyan and said, "These words don't seem to fit your identity."
Duan Xuyan laughed and said: "Why don't you treat me like you? There's no need to be so angry. When this mission is over, I'll take you to meet some friends if I have the chance. They are all good brothers in the circle."
Chu Jungui's heart moved slightly and he nodded.
Duan Xuyan drank the wine in one gulp, and then said: "It's almost time, it's time to do the final inventory. Take back some of the troops who came to help."
Lord Chu understood the idea and issued an order to have all soldiers, tanks and Arks who were not part of the special company evacuate the base and gather in the distance to wait to board the starship. Duan Xuyan's intention was obviously that he did not want him to expose the strength of the Lightyear Legion too much. Although this guy behaves like a playboy, he is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp. There must be a reason for him to do this.
What Duan Xuyan didn't know was that the troops brought by Chu Jungui were only a fraction of the size of the light years.
