The starship slowly landed on the take-off and landing field. Before opening the hatch, a series of prompts sounded in Chu Jungui's ears: "The external air pressure is 3 standard atmospheres. The main component of air is nitrogen, and the oxygen content is zero. It cannot be Breathe. The external temperature is currently -65 degrees and is expected to drop to -100 degrees in 3 hours. It is recommended to wear armor at all times when activities on the planet's surface, and unprotected activities are not recommended."
The playback speed of this long series of prompts is increased 30 times, so outsiders hear it as just a beep.
Chu Jungui opened the cabin door, and a blast of sand blew in his face, and the fine sand and gravel crackled on the armor. The wind force at this moment reached level 9, and according to the planetary weather forecast, today's climate is classified as 'quite mild'.
Chu Jungui braved the strong wind and walked out of the starship. Looking around, the air was filled with large clouds of sand and dust, and fist-sized stones were flying everywhere. In the open space in the distance, there were three tornadoes moving slowly.
One by one, the warriors followed Chu Jun back to the starship. With the support of the auxiliary power of the armor, modern warriors can move freely in windy weather below level 10, but their vision is not very comfortable.
Duan Xuyan and his reinforced battalion have landed first and are directing the soldiers to move equipment boxes from the transport ship and set up defensive positions.
The take-off and landing site is right next to the base. Due to strong winds, most of the buildings in the base are very low, with the tallest building only 20 meters. On the contrary, there is a circle of discs erected around the base, which is constantly swinging with the direction of the wind.
These disks are more than ten meters in diameter, with wind blades inside and covered with fine steel mesh on both sides. The strong wind roared through the disc, pushing the blades to rotate at high speed, providing power to the base.
Before landing, Chu Jungui had already read the base's information. This base is a mining base, used to refine alloy metals necessary for repairing starships. Although there are minerals on this planet, the harsh climate makes the mining cost high and cannot be used for commercial purposes. At that time, the Ninth Fleet had no other choice and secretly set up a materials base here.
The Federation has also set up an advance base on the planet, preparing to completely uproot the dynasty's base. However, the war ceased just as the base was built. Now that the war is over, it is natural that such a mining base with little economic value will no longer be retained, so we are preparing to evacuate all personnel and equipment from the base.
In the blink of an eye, the special forces company was assembled, and base officers came over to divide the defense areas and allocate campsites.
Several people came over surrounded by Duan Xuyan. Duan Xuyan greeted him from far away: "Jun Gui, these are the directors of the base. We will live with them for the next week until we pack up and leave." Until then. Come on, let’s get to know each other. This is Director Su, an old man from the Ninth Fleet. Don’t get me wrong, he is not from Xu Zannian’s group. If he were, he would still be assigned to such a useless position. place?"
Director Su said: "Everything is good here, but the environment is a bit worse. Let's go and talk about it inside the base."
Several people boarded the car, drove all the way into the main building of the base, and then headed underground. Director Su explained while leading the way: "The planet's environment is too bad. There are often storms with speeds of hundreds of kilometers per hour. The buildings in the base cannot be too high, and the experience of living in high-rise buildings is also very bad. It's like sleeping in the Middle Ages." It’s almost the same as on a sailboat. So all living facilities are placed underground, which is also safe.”
Chu Jungui followed everyone into a conference room. The conference room was extremely simple, with nothing except the necessary systems, tables and chairs, and even the walls were made of exposed building materials.
After sitting down, Director Su asked people to serve refreshments and said with a smile: "It is indeed a bit difficult here. When it was first built, there was nothing, not even enough beds. These refreshments were supplies sent after the armistice, Colonel Duan You are someone who has seen good things, so don’t take it too seriously.”
Duan Xuyan leaned back in his chair and said: "Just let these few days pass smoothly. I guess the Federation will not give up. It will have to launch one or two attacks to test our quality. After all, the actions we launched during this period They are far outnumbered, and the Federation shouldn’t be able to tolerate it like this.”
Director Su asked: "How many operations have we launched?"
"51 times."
Director Su did not expect that there would be so many raids. He was stunned for a moment and then said, "Would this anger the federation?"
"Of course! Those guys from the Fourth Fleet just want to provoke their opponents so that they can have a legitimate fight. Didn't you see that they brought the mobile base Moon Phase over?" Duan Xuyan sneered.
Director Su looked a little unnatural and said: "The combat power of the Fourth Fleet is... well-known. Even our Ninth Fleet fought so hard, how could they have the confidence to provoke?"
Duan Xuyan said: "Old Su, you are naive. To be honest, you guys fought pretty well in this battle, but no matter how good you fought, you still had to lose in the end? The truce was not because of you, that was It was Xu Bingyan’s complete victory in the Battle of the Longitudinal Line that forced the Federation to take the initiative to cease the war.”
"You can't say that. If we hadn't contained several times the federal military strength, would the vertical line have been fought so smoothly?" Manager Su was very angry.
Duan Xuyan shook his head and said seriously: "Old Su, you can't say that. Of course you can think so, but in the eyes of most people, including the federal command, they will think that these two battles are separate battles. They will be evaluated separately. If you think about it, you will know that the most you can get is an evaluation of bravery and tenacity. It would be nice to give you some military merit, but you can't say anything even if you just give me a service medal."
"This isn't fair!" Manager Su shouted.
Duan Xuyan sat still and said, "Look, you are excited again, aren't you? This is just my personal opinion. It doesn't matter if you don't agree with it. Just forget it."
Manager Su also realized his gaffe, sat down slowly, and said with a hint of helplessness: "Sorry, I am indeed a little excited. In the past few months, we have been really miserable. In the last two months, we only had enough food. Strict rationing was in place, and half of the rations were recycled organic matter. I would be disappointed if a fight like this didn't get a fair shake."
Seeing him like this, Duan Xuyan changed the topic and said, "Okay, let's not talk about these spoiling things. The base should have enough supplies now, right? If not, you can get some from us. It's good to eat and drink. Come on, pack up quickly, and we can complete the task quickly. I can’t bear to stay in this damn place for one more day."
Director Su nodded.
At this moment, Chu Jungui, who had been studying the structural diagram of the base, suddenly raised his head and asked: "Director Su, what exactly is this base about mining?"
"Huh?" Duan Xuyan instantly heard a different smell, and his sharp eyes fell on Director Su.
