Chu Jungui did not intend to fully cooperate with this sudden call. There are too many secrets on Planet 4. No matter how valuable they are, they were all worked out part by part by him and Lin Xi, and they have nothing to do with the 4th Fleet.
As soon as he thought, a shuttle boat parked on the berth left the berth, flew into the storm clouds, and brought Chu Jungui's plan back to the base. On the orbital base, the new response plan has been input into the master brain, which is then split into thousands of individual plans and sent to the personal terminals of the corresponding personnel.
In the blink of an eye, the entire orbital base changed its busy direction. The engineers who built the starship did not stop what they were doing and wanted to complete the current task until the entire construction came to an end. The remaining engineers put down their work and rolled out a large number of packaging boxes of basic materials from the warehouse. Two transport ships hovering not far from the base also approached and began to release the containers in the cargo hold.
Dozens of engineers began to cut a corner of the orbital station. After a while, a 100-meter square section of the orbital station was cut off. Engineers towed the container to the designated location. These containers unfolded on their own and turned into energy stations, energy storage cabins, living cabins, main computer rooms, etc.
The orbital base that divided the next piece started its engine and flew to low orbit with the two starships that had not yet been built.
Ten hours later, two Dynasty frigates appeared outside the N7703 system and flew towards Planet No. 4 at high speed.
The 4th fleet arrived faster than expected, not even giving Chu Chujungui 20 hours of preparation time. But Chu Jungui didn't care. After receiving the message, he sent the coordinates of the parking point and waited for their arrival.
The two frigates sailed into high orbit, slowed down, slowly approached the berth, and locked the starship.
The starship hatch opened, and more than a dozen soldiers flew out. The leader had three gold stars on his armor, and he was a colonel. Chu Jungui had already flown out of the office building and greeted him.
"I am Qu Ruiyi from the Logistics Headquarters of the 4th Dynasty Fleet, and this is Colonel Lin Lang from the 4th Fleet Equipment Headquarters. In accordance with the laws of war, the 4th Fleet decided to requisition military supplies from your department and specially sent us to investigate the status of your assets and supplies. , hope to cooperate.”
Qu Ruiyi's face was expressionless and his voice had no fluctuation, as if he was strictly executing military orders. Through the mask, you can see that the corners of his eyes are drooping and his eyes are cold. He is very difficult to get along with at first glance.
Chu Jungui received the identity information they sent and compared it with the reserved key. In previous transactions with the 4th Fleet, Chu Jungui specially applied for a communication base station, and the 4th Fleet also issued a special key to transmit confidential information. The message sent by the 4th Fleet must be compiled with a key to reveal the true content. This key is only for Lightyear's use and can only compile the information sent to Lightyear.
Not surprisingly, the key matching was successful, the identities of Qu Ruiyi and others were true, and the investigation instructions carried with them were also true.
After verifying his identity, Chu Jungui did not hesitate to say hello and asked directly: "Didn't the fleet recruitment order be sent out 10 days ago? Why did I only receive it today?"
Qu Ruiyi said expressionlessly: "Maybe something unexpected happened on the way."
"What a coincidence!"
Chu Jungui's words were already a bit rude, and he didn't intend to be polite. After the communication base station was established, the delay of information sent from the 4th Fleet headquarters was no more than one hour at most. Other messages were normal. Why was this most important message the slowest?
Qu Ruiyi said: "Isn't it the same if it's earlier or later? Our time is limited, let's start checking now!"
Chu Jungui didn't move and said, "It's very different if it's earlier or later."
Qu Ruiyi glanced at Chu Jungui with a cold gaze and said, "What's the difference? Do you still want to hide something?"
Chu Jungui's face darkened and he said coldly: "The conscription is not a forced conscription, nor is it confiscation. What, are you planning to act recklessly within the jurisdiction?"
Qu Ruiyi didn't get angry and just said: "We are recruiting in accordance with the law, and I am only following orders. However, I advise you not to hinder me from performing official duties, otherwise you may not be able to bear the charge."
"Crime? Do you have the right to convict now? Or do you think you can do whatever you want in military operations?"
Qu Ruiyi turned around and said to the person behind him: "Now the mission begins, start recording."
After saying that, he looked at Chu Jungui and said coldly: "Will you let us check? If not, we will leave now."
Chu Jungui drifted back and said calmly: "Of course, you can check it out, feel free to do it."
Qu Ruiyi did not move immediately, but said: "Major Chu, where is your orbital base? There also needs to be verified."
Although the orbital base where both sides are based at the moment is fully equipped, it is only a hundred meters in diameter. It is the smallest type of orbital station. It is so small that it cannot even install artificial gravity equipment. Therefore, Qu Ruiyi and others must fly in when they leave the starship. Fly away. Even if there is a warehouse on this rail station, there won't be much room for it. In addition to the two frigates of the 4th Fleet, there was only one transport starship belonging to Chu Jungui on the berth.
"There is only one orbital base." Chu Jun returned.
"Isn't it possible? Major Chu, concealing strategic materials is also a felony. We have every right to try and convict you on the spot. The maximum penalty can be life imprisonment."
Chu Jun said calmly: "If you need me to remind you of your current position, then I will be very happy. In addition, if you say that you also hold a concurrent position in the military court or military prosecutor's office, then I will also be happy to explain it to you. Let’s take a look at the relevant laws and regulations. Court and Procuratorate series do not allow part-time jobs in other departments. I think you should know this. If you do have a part-time job, congratulations. The superior who gave you this part-time job will be unlucky."
"Major Chu, whether you are a threat to me or something else, I want to see another orbital base."
"No."
Qu Ruiyi sneered, "Colonel Lin, show him the images we took last time! I want to see this base!"
In the early exchanges, someone from the 4th Fleet boarded the orbital base to receive supplies or replenish energy. The orbital base at that time was specifically used for temporary supplies and was not a base for building starships. But that base is also quite large, and it is not comparable to the small base in front of you.
Looking at the image projected by Lin Lang, Chu Jun said calmly: "This base has been destroyed."
"Destroyed? Where's the evidence?" Qu Ruiyi sneered.
"Evidence? No more."
Qu Ruiyi stared at Chu Jungui for a while and said slowly: "Major Chu, you are very good, very good!"
Qu Ruiyi waved his hand, and the people behind him dispersed, swarming around the orbital station like locusts. They turned on the scanner mounted on the armor and began to scan the equipment of the orbital station one by one.
Chu Jungui watched coldly from the side and did not stop him. It is now clear that this operation is aimed at him. Qu Ruiyi is just an executor. There is no point in arguing with him. Moreover, it is obvious that Qu Ruiyi just wants to anger Chu Jungui. Once Chu Jungui does something drastic, This move is like giving him a handle.
The investigators of the 4th Fleet marked almost everything in the orbital station, even the floor. Naturally, no matter how big or small, all kinds of equipment could not escape their clutches. The other party is obviously retaliating.
In the blink of an eye, the entire orbital station was marked, which meant that everything was requisitioned. In the laws of war, the provisions on the requisition of materials are relatively broad, and there are openings. The original intention of the legislation was to use all means to win the war, but in the hands of interested parties like Qu Ruiyi, the overly broad law became a tool for evil.
After a while, all the data was summarized in Qu Ruiyi's hands. He handed the list directly to Chu Jungui and said, "If there is no problem, just sign."
Chu Jungui just glanced at it and saw the problem.
The problem is too obvious. For a large orbital station, only 50 tons of basic metals are counted. Less than 10 pieces of hundreds of pieces of equipment are listed on the list, and the rest are converted into basic materials and priced according to the basic materials. For example, the micro-master of the orbital station is registered as a certain amount of steel, a certain amount of non-metallic inorganic materials, and a certain amount of paint.
Although this orbital station was temporarily constructed by Chu Jungui to get through the situation, it also used a lot of self-expanding parts. For example, a computer room that has been installed with a micro main computer can be turned into a standard container and towed away in a few simple steps. Such modular components can be much more expensive than pure components.
Even the floor of the orbital station is not ordinary steel, but a composite material that can be subdivided into more than ten layers, but the composition is just a little more steel. The price of such a floor is hundreds of times that of steel of equal weight. How can the materials used to make orbital stations be cheap?
However, under Qu Ruiyi's operation, the estimated value of the entire orbital station was only 110,000, and Chu Jungui's signature was required!
"Major Chu, please sign." Qu Ruiyi emphasized the word "major" in particular.
Chu Jungui smiled slightly, casually crumpled the light screen with the list into materials, and said, "I couldn't find the place to sign."
Qu Ruiyi's eyes were like daggers, and he said every word: "Major Chu Jungui, are you refusing to sign?"
Chu Jun said calmly: "It is my right to sign or not."
Next to him, Lin Lang suddenly pulled out his gun, pointed it at Chu Jungui, and shouted: "You dare to hinder us from performing our official duties?" As soon as he moved, everyone else also drew their guns, and dozens of guns were pointed at Chu Jungui.
Qu Ruiyi raised her hand and pressed down Lin Lang's gun, saying: "If Major Chu doesn't want to sign, then don't sign. Now, it's time for Major Chu to take us to your base on the planet to see it. I heard , there is a fairly large base there.”
Chu Jungui pointed to the storm clouds below and said, "To get to the surface of the planet, you have to pass through the storm clouds."
"It's okay, we can take your starship."
Chu Jungui nodded and said, "That's fine."
After a while, Qu Ruiyi and Lin Lang took dozens of subordinates and squeezed into Chu Jungui's starship. However, the starship Chu Jungui said was rated to carry 100 people, only more than 80 people were crammed into it before it could no longer be packed in. The more than 80 people were still packed like sardine cans, and in the end they were kicked hard by colleagues who were unable to board the ship. He kicked the door a few times before closing it. Qu Ruiyi and Lin Lang were treated better. They didn't have to squeeze into the cargo hold or empty fuel tank, and could sit in the cab. However, in order to count the supplies efficiently, Qu Ruiyi took as much as he could regardless of the feelings of his subordinates.
The starship finally passed through the storm clouds without any danger and flew to a mountain valley.
"We're here." Chu Jun returned.
In front of the starship, there stood a lonely safe house, which could roughly accommodate a few families. Two people were busy nearby, trying to install a door to the safe house.
