711. Scientific research projects
"Are there any other survivors here? Sergeant Hunter." Nat Reese asked from the side.
"There are no more in the area where we are active. But five days ago, we vaguely saw fire in the woods opposite." The hunter pointed in one direction and said.
"Hey! Only one person saw this. His eyesight is pretty good, but his strength is a bit weak." The Obstacle Removal King said loudly from the side.
Shen Qiaoen nodded, "I'll send someone over there to take a look. Hmm...what happened before Mingban Planet?"
The hunter replied: "Because the planet Minban has joined the separatists, and the separatists are setting up outposts nearby and installing hyperspace blockers to cut off the Kosher Channel, the 44th Special Operations Force of the Republic cooperated with the 224th Army of the Republic to launch an offensive. .However, here is a trap.”
"Trap?" Shen Qiaoen frowned.
"That's right, a trap. When we arrived, there were only three Generosity-class frigates in outer space. They were quickly defeated by us, so we launched a landing on the planet..." the hunter said.
"Then we encountered at least 400,000 robots..." Crosshair shook his head, "The separatists must have started gathering troops very early, and sent out signals near here to attract us to land, and then rushed out of the jungle to surround us. Afterwards, General Grievous led a fleet of 20 battleships to fight back..."
"...The task of our company at that time was to defend this hilly area. We set up more than 10 E-WEB blaster cannons and two AZ-7 self-propelled artillery, but these were quickly destroyed by robot fighters. "It's gone." The technician pointed to the col on the other side and said, "Over there, more than 70 of our brothers died."
"I don't know what you think, but I feel so good about killing! Hahahaha!" The Obstacle Removal King laughed.
Hunter continued: "Later we wanted to retreat, so the commander forcibly landed two Hunter-class battlecruisers into the atmosphere for cover, but it still didn't work. After the two battleships were shot down, the remaining 3 in outer space Even the warships could not withstand the attack of the Separatist fleet, one of them was destroyed, another was severely damaged and towed away by the Separatists, and the last one escaped."
Shen Qiaoen nodded and said: "In that case, you can follow our troops during this period."
They came all the way to the meeting point. When they saw the worn-out armor on the clone soldiers on Shen-Jon's side, the Wrecker King looked at them, and then at his own body, which was reinforced with the robot's armor shell. Jia Jia laughed again, "It seems like you guys are not doing so well, you're almost the same as me, haha, almost the same."
"Shut your mouth and change your clothes for me. Otherwise, if you really encounter the robot, I will treat you as an enemy and break you." A clone soldier came over and threw a relatively intact set of polymer alloy armor to him. Obstacle clearer king.
"If you dare to point your gun at random, you will definitely fall to the ground before him." The hunter said coldly.
"Want to fight? Boy." The clone soldier was immediately irritated and came over and bumped the hunter hard with his chest.
"Stop it!" Shen Qiaoen shouted angrily, "We will be teammates on the same boat from now on! If I find you engaging in internal strife again, you will be severely punished!"
The technician was relatively calm. He asked Shen Qiaoen: "General, what is the goal of our army?"
"A secret weapon called the Extractor, and a separatist general named Severance Tann." Shen Qiaoen said lightly.
"Severance Tann? I know. She was the one who fought all the way to Sarabin three months ago, right? I was still in the training camp on the planet Kamino at that time!" The Wrecker King has a very strong nerve. , and immediately forgot about the quarrel just now.
"That's right. She destroyed the defenses of the Sarabin planet in front of us and caused a blackout in the core world. This is our shame, and this shame can only be repaid with blood!" The clone soldier who had just quarreled said resolutely said.
"Hey! You told me earlier! How can I get back what I lost! I like you like this! Hahahaha!" The wrecker king laughed and walked over and hugged the soldier's shoulders. "I am CT-7751, the wrecker. King! What about you?"
The soldier slapped the wrecker king's hand away, but nodded and said, "I am AE-1149, Iron Box."
Another clone trooper came over and said to Shen Qiaoen: "General, we have searched within 100 kilometers of the surrounding area and rescued more than 200 survivors. There may be more farther away, but We have run out of time. There is intelligence that some garbage dealers have tipped off the Separatists about our arrival on the planet Akiban."
"Then let's leave as soon as possible." Shen Qiaoen nodded.
This unrecognized army hurriedly collected as much supplies as possible from the crashed battleship, and then started the hyperspace engine just as the five Generous-class communications frigates that had arrived from the Confederation of Independent Systems had just left hyperspace and arrived here. , walked away.
Another week passed, and Shen Qiaoen finally got a piece of information given to him by Casal Fogg——
The Federation of Independent Systems secretly restarted an abandoned base on the planet Aereen two months ago, and during the following period, the energy supply to the base on the planet Aereen can be said to be endless. It exceeds the energy level required by an ordinary colony or even a military base.
…
At the same time, Erin Planet Base.
"You must know this, General Cheng. Now the load of the Erin planet base has reached its limit, and it can no longer afford larger-scale experiments on the Krant planet experimental base. And most importantly, we now lack Fund investment." A female Neimoidian wearing a high hat was sitting on a small four-legged mobility robot and said while accompanying a tall and straight general to inspect the base.
Standing next to her was Lieutenant General Cheng Shitao, deputy commander of the Fourth Civilization Army.
His face was cold at the moment, and there seemed to be some more grooves on his face that had begun to show wrinkles. "This is not what your Trade Federation promised before. Moreover, Count Dooku has also ordered to fully support the research and development of the Extractor project, and now you are dragging your feet like this." La, who will be responsible for the delayed research progress?!"
"Obviously, at least this responsibility will not fall on the Dawn Planet." The female Neimoidian spread her hands and said.
"Sector Director Plure Barron, you must give me a clear explanation!" Cheng Shitao said sharply.
"Now we have a lot of money invested in a new program..." Preuer-Barron said, "the DS-1 program."
