The matter of observing Wave Point has been roughly finalized, but Hua Xiezhi still has another major task.
She needs to ask clearly: Where are we going, and what kind of trouble might we encounter under extreme circumstances? This is a very legitimate request - although you have paid us enough, we have the right to know the difficulty of the task.
It can't be a mission where you're willing to die knowingly, and you want another opportunity to observe Wave Point, right?
However, the official answer is: the mission location is kept secret - this is originally the military's style, and they are not allowed to comment.
As for what kind of trouble you encounter, it's hard to say. You can carry Buduo with two Armed Merchant Ship.
If there are battle losses, the military will provide corresponding compensation.
The military can also provide compensation for casualties, but in that case, the military needs to dispatch intelligence agents.
Because of information barriers, many groups are very repulsive to intelligence agents, so this is only a suggested option, not a hard and fast rule.
Hua Xiezhi expressed that he was very repelled by this task - we are not sure about anything, so we should be asked to take over the task?
Even if he deceives people, he would not be so insincere.
Officials contacted the military again and eventually received a new explanation.
This task only requires you to discover strange people and things and report them in time. There is no requirement to participate in the battle.
It's good to be able to participate in the battle, you can get the corresponding battle bounty, and you won't be held accountable if you retreat in time if you find that you are unable to do what you want.
For the military, this condition can be said to be quite sincere. At least it sounds like it is not cannon fodder.
However, the premise of the mission was a bit confusing, and Hua Xiezhi didn't dare to make a decision, waiting for the boss's instructions.
In the main manor, a group of consciousnesses were having a meeting.
Bentley rarely took the initiative to speak out, "It's really too much. I hate people who are playing tricks."
Paranoid said, "It doesn't matter if you go and take a look. What if you encounter a situation where you can't escape even if you can't fight?"
Weirdly, this time it was Mu Yu who came out to sing the opposite tune, "Don't pin everything on Near-Earth Jump."
"Not far from Clear Source, there is Space Ripple... Have you forgotten Space Disruptor?"
Qinghu couldn't help but add, "That's gravitational wave disturbance, and space disturbance technology... is not yet mature."
"Wait a minute," Mu Guang couldn't hold it in anymore after hearing this, "What are you talking about, is it Near-Earth Jump?"
"Quiet, quiet," Qu Jianlei couldn't help but express his position, "The question now is whether we can accept the mission or not!"
"I don't recommend taking it," Bentley was the first to object, "If you want to observe, I'll probably do more patrols."
"You can take it," Nutrient Solution also expressed his opinion, "Think about it, if we encounter an enemy, which side will it come from?"
As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent, because everyone unanimously recognized that they only had two potential enemies.
After a while, Paranoid expressed his position, "I can take it. I really want to see how Heaven and Earth Treasure's combat effectiveness is!"
"I agree to pick it up," Qinghu, who seldom speaks, also said, "If you are the person on the other side of the gap, you will have the opportunity to get to know him up close."
Mu Yu asked, "What if it's not these two possibilities?"
"Then there's no need to be afraid," Paranoid replied proudly, "Who in the entire empire has the strength to prevent us from running away?"
Qinghu You You added, "In the worst case, we will jump to the depths of space again, so just be well prepared."
Space disturbance cannot completely prevent the jump, but it will lose its orientation and even enter other spaces or Subspace levels.
But as long as you are well prepared, at least in the depths of space, you will definitely not encounter the embarrassment last time and you can easily escape.
Mu Guang didn't get the answer to Near-Earth Jump, so he was scratching his head anxiously.
But he still spoke out in support of the mainstream, "It may be related to Heaven and Earth Treasure or the situation on the other side of the breach. I support appropriate risks."
Qu Jianlei actually wants to understand these two points, and the reward is to observe Wave Point up close.
As for the opponent, it may be other forces... then just show them off and take advantage of them.
Anyway, he didn't think anyone could allow his team to be wiped out silently.
So he expressed his position, "Lao Ben, it seems that you are in the minority, so I can only side with the majority."
"It's okay, it's just that I didn't think too much," Bentley didn't take it seriously at all.
He didn't care about his own face, "Then I'll keep the protector. Just keep Silver Fir."
Lao Ben has never been a person who likes his mother-in-law. Now that the other party has decided, he will definitely not try to stop her.
Of course Silver Fir was left behind not because of insufficient manpower, but because he could react better if something happened to the boss and others.
Whether it's revenge or searching for someone, having a clone is always much more convenient.
When Paranoid heard this, he couldn't help but praise, "Lao Ben, I quite like your character."
After Hua Xiezhi received the decision, he simply told the other party: We can go, but it will take two days to prepare.
In addition, she also asked the other party to formulate all commitments into written documents, in triplicate, with each seal.
The government didn't care about this, but the military expressed dissatisfaction.
The military can sign agreements with local governments, but it never does so with social groups, let alone natural persons.
However, their dissatisfaction was in vain. The government stated that this is the strongest combat group we can coordinate.
So two days later, Qu Jianlei took the five supremes and Claire into the air on the Armed Merchant Ship provided by the Gustin Family.
In addition to Bentley, Hua Xiezhi, Zi Jiuxian and Tian Yin also remained in the fiefdom.
The merchant ship is a bit old. After all, Gustin Family has left long ago and is only used by employees, but its performance is acceptable.
Shortly after taking off, under the leadership of the city guard warship, the merchant ship came into contact with the military's warships - two company-level ships.
The warship's attitude towards Qu Jianlei and others was lukewarm. It did not show any Jingwei, but instead wanted to board Armed Merchant Ship.
Claire simply rejected the other party's request, "It has been agreed a long time ago that we will not accept the dispatch of intelligence agents."
The person on the other side was silent for about ten seconds, acquiescing to the answer, and then started to set off.
Without a jump, the three starships sailed for nearly ten days before arriving at a desolate planet.
This ball is highly similar to the planet Qu Jianlei built New Base on. If it were not too cold, it could also become Habitable Star.
The size and density are good, there's an atmosphere, and there are even some fragile creatures.
This place was originally a bridgehead for the empire's outward expansion, with several building complexes, but they were all abandoned later.
However, even now, there is still a garrison team here.
Mainly, there is a high-power relay Signal Tower on this planet, as well as some material reserves.
For ordinary interstellar travelers, this kind of place does not have much meaning, and Passenger Starship cannot pass by here.
But for the military and some forces with special needs, the existence of this stronghold is still necessary.
After Armed Merchant Ship landed, the two warships had a simple communication with Qu Jianlei.
The general idea is that there is only one functioning base on the planet. Do you all take over, or do you need the cooperation of the stationed team?
Qu Jianlei simply chose the latter. They said there was no need for intelligence agents. What was the stationed team doing here? There are nine people in the team, and you can see that when they left, they almost jumped onto the warship.
Being stationed in this place is really a test of one's nerves.
The stationed team left instructions for the use of the base. There were not many precautions. They were almost fully intelligent.
The main control system is connected to other relays and is indirectly controlled by the empire.
All data such as the strength of the defensive shield, the usage of Energy Block, guns and ammunition, and daily necessities are controlled.
So no matter what happens here, the Empire can quickly learn that there is not much room to get its hands on it.
However, the stationed team also has some private spaces to ensure that they are not observed by ubiquitous surveillance.
I have learned this lesson the hard way. It is too easy to suffer from mental illness while stationed here.
If all the residents are living under everyone's nose, the probability of tragedy will greatly increase.
In addition, there are a large number of observation instruments deployed around the planet.
In addition to satellites in orbit, there is no shortage of detectors millions of kilometers away.
In short, this is a pretty smart base, everything is good except that it doesn't have any heavy weapons.
But there is no need to have any heavy weapons. Although Energy Block's reserves are a considerable amount of wealth, they are monitored.
It only took them one day to adapt to the various equipment here.
On the fourth day, there was a passing starship looking for supplies. Judging from the painting, it should be that of a military subordinate.
However, Claire refused without hesitation, indicating that there was a supply failure here and asked the other party to go around.
She did not do this on her own initiative, but with the authorization of the military.
The other party was obviously a little surprised and asked without any hesitation what happened and where the original campers were.
Claire just said coldly, "Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask. If you have any objections, you can appeal!"
The person on the other side seemed to have reacted and asked Claire to connect to Command Center for confirmation.
Claire decisively refused again and said that if you continue to pester, you will be responsible for all the consequences! This starship was truly a military subordinate. He probably guessed that the other party was performing special military duties and turned around to leave.
In comparison, non-military starships are not so sensitive.
Another seven or eight days later, an interstellar rescue ship passed by and threatened to land. Claire had no choice but to fire a warning shot.
The rescue ship is equipped with a special communication system and can actually complain to the residents through the relay station.
Unfortunately, all operations here have been temporarily taken over by the military.
When the news reached the military, their reaction was, "The military is carrying out an overhaul project and prohibits any starships from landing."
The rescue boat was not ignorant. At least it understood that "overhaul project" was just a vague term.
Since the military had a special mission here, they had no choice but to leave in anger.
In the blink of an eye, Qu Jianlei and the others have been stationed here for more than twenty days, and everything seems to be going well.
Until the twenty-first day, a military-style battleship mysteriously appeared in space.
