Vol 3 Chapter 721: Under the shadow

It took Chu Jungui three full days to complete the supply of raw food. Not all companies are as slow as Lightyear’s own Scone Industrial Foods. There are always people who want to seize every possible opportunity.
Frequent movements of 1 light-year aroused some people's curiosity, but they all wondered what it is to purchase 200,000 tons of raw food every month. After being diluted in proportion, this is 1 million tons of high-energy food!
Chu Jungui returned to the surface of the planet to supervise the new base that had taken shape. Around the base, there are thousands of small construction vehicles of all kinds busy, black and white working beasts are carrying various equipment and materials, and some working beasts are even building the base!
The entire base is like being covered by locusts, and there are jumping working beasts everywhere. Yes, since the 5th batch, the working beast can jump. As for stacking together, connecting to each other to form strange shapes, it has become a routine operation.
But there are not only working beasts in the base. Many equipment and construction machinery are desperately adding to themselves to prevent the working beast from becoming the only protagonist.
For example, the metal blocks sprayed from the furnace are sprayed farther and farther, and the more sprayed, the more accurate they are. The blocks are neatly stacked together, and there is no need for the stacking and sorting of the working beasts. Then the two transport vehicles roughly pushed away the working beasts they wanted to load and unload, and cooperated with each other. As soon as the left side hit the right side pocket, the pile of metal ingots were loaded away and transported back to the warehouse.
Looking at the noisy base, Chu Jun returned to the factory with a sense of sight. The base is only 40% in state, and it can already produce 10,000 tons of standard alloys per day. About 150,000 tons of raw alloys can produce all the structural parts of a destroyer. The remaining material needs to be returned to the furnace and forged again.
In other words, the base that has not yet been fully completed gives Lightyear the basic ability to roll out a destroyer every 15 days.
On the orbital station, the production docks have been expanded from 2 to 4, and plans to continue to expand to 6, 8...
In an instant, three months passed.
The interstellar situation is becoming increasingly tense. The dynasty and federal media have long started a new round of mutual accusations. In the vast border star field hundreds of light-years away, frictions, large and small, are happening all the time and become The fuse for the next round of friction.
At the end of the original longitudinal battle, in the Takeo 3 galaxy, both sides deployed heavy troops, constantly gathering fleets and planetary marines, and the smell of war became more and more intense.
In the N77 star field, the preparations for the 4th Fleet are nearing completion, and the fleet's huge war machine has begun to roar.
In the command room of the mobile base, Su Jian habitually stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows thinking. There was unconcealable fatigue on his face, and obviously he hadn't rested much during this period of time.
Although the size and strength of the 4th Fleet is the bottom of the dynasty fleet, it is still a huge war machine. There are 4 mobile bases, 8 capital ships, thousands of starships of various levels, as many as 20 planetary bases and hundreds of asteroid bases. The data generated every day is massive. If you want to mobilize, you must start the machine part by part and cooperate with each other to make this machine run.
Although it is back to the star map, the entire star map has been engraved in Su Jian's mind. The densely packed symbols are automatically transformed into bases and starships, constantly fighting and evolving into different endings.
The Federation is still the advantage, but the advantage is not obvious. The total combat power is about 1.3 times that of the 4th Fleet. This advantage is not too much, but not too much, so that the 4th Fleet cannot act rashly, but it is not completely hopeless. In the war game, Su Jian tried many times to take the initiative and won 4 times out of 10 times.
While thinking, a major general walked into the command room and said solemnly: "General, are you looking for me?"
Su Jian turned around and looked up and down the major general with a sharp gaze. The major general is solid and swarthy, as strong as iron, and has a firm look on his face.
Su Jian said slowly: "General Wei, you were transferred from the Seventh Fleet. It's been more than ten years, right?"
"11 years and 7 months, General."
"Well, the time is not short. You were very young in the major generals, but 12 years have passed. Now you can only say that you are quite satisfactory. A 50-year-old major general is not a good resume."
"Military rank and position are not my purpose of joining the army."
"Haha, ranks and positions are just means, not goals, but they can't be done without. I heard that your record in the Seventh Fleet is very good, but you have offended a lot of people before you are transferred to our 4th Fleet. If Shuai Lu is still there If you do, I’m afraid you will just retire like this."
The major general's face changed slightly, obviously he didn't really care about this in his heart.
Su Jian raised his head and looked into the eyes of the major general, his gaze suddenly turned sharp, and said: "It's been 12 years, will you still fight?"
The major general's body immediately collapsed straight, his eyes breathed fire, and he said, "I don't know, General! In the past 10 years, I won't even have the opportunity to command wargames."
"Okay, let's have a game." With a wave of Su Jianshou, the star map immediately switched to war game deduction mode, and both sides led a fleet to start fighting.
The deduction was quickly over, and both sides were inextricably killed, and both suffered heavy losses. Su Jian lifted the barriers between the two sides and said with satisfaction: "It seems that he has not put down his ability to fight. Now there is a very difficult task, dare you dare to take it?"
"As long as I can go to the battlefield, what tasks I dare not take?"
"Yes, I will give you a small-scale mobile fleet. Your main task is to test the defenses of the Federation and find out their weaknesses. In the course of combat, I allow you to use all means to strengthen your own strength, and wait until the war At the official start, you have to cooperate with the fleet on the flanks. Your combat area is here, you will have no supplies, you can only rely on yourself, and there is likely to be a main force of the Federation hidden here. Find it!"
Su Jian drew a region on the star map, and the N7703 galaxy was also in it.
The major general stared at the star map for a long time and asked, "What about the main force of the Federation?"
"Find a way to hold it, at least delay it, don't let it appear on the side of the main force of the fleet, understand?"
The major general looked solemn and nodded slowly.
Su Jian seemed to ease, and said: "You may face 3 times, 5 times, or even more enemies. This is an almost impossible task. But if there is anyone in our 4th Fleet who can accomplish this. For the task, there is only you, General Wei!"
The major general did not have any rhetoric, but made a military salute.
"This is the mobile fleet I prepared for you, and General Liu Miao will cooperate with you."
The list given by Su Jian included one heavy cruiser, one light cruiser and five destroyers. The number is really small, but they are all new starships, and the heavy cruiser is the latest model that only entered service three years ago. Obviously, this mission is not to die, and Su Jian has high hopes for him.
"Don't let any enemy appear in that direction, do you understand?" Su Jian finally urged.
The major general gave another military salute and left the command room to receive the fleet. He had just walked out of the command area, and a white-skinned general came next to him, shouting: "General Wei!"
Wei Dong stopped and recognized Liu Miao, the general who was going to cooperate with him. Liu Miao put on Wei Dong's shoulder affectionately, and said, "Is it all right now? Go, find a place to sit and discuss the next action plan. General Su has given us a problem this time!"
Wei Dong frowned slightly, but did not refuse. Unlike him, Liu Miao was just 40 this year. Whether in the Lu Shuai era or the Su Jian era, he was in a good mood. In the following tasks, cooperation between both parties is also crucial.
Under the shadow of war, the front line is becoming increasingly busy and busy. Everyone is working hard. Every detail in preparation for war may affect the success or failure of future wars. But in the rear, some people's world is full of sunshine.
Kun walked into the office building under the sun again. People kept saluting and greeted him along the way. Many beautiful female staff bowed specifically and deeply.
Outside the window is actually overcast with clouds, but Kun just comes with sunshine. He is impeccable regardless of his appearance, body shape, ability and family background. And it can be seen that he is in a very good mood.
Kun walked into the office, threw himself into the sofa as usual, and opened the securities channel.
Kun hasn't realized that the first thing he watched a few months ago was the political and military channels.
1 light-year's stock price fell slightly by 2%, which gave Kun's mood a small shadow. Fortunately, it has risen by 6% in 1 light-year in the past month. It is still a small profit this month.
Seeing the obvious slowdown in stock price movements, Kun suddenly felt a little dissatisfied. This was not the case in the first few months. At that time, the stock price went up like a magnificent and vigorous ~EbookFREE.me~ How could it be like a chicken this month? And all kinds of news continued for 1 light-year at the beginning. I haven't seen one for half a month. After the Starship Factory was put in, there was no movement. Where did the Star Pirates go? They were destroyed?
Kun has an impulse to hate iron but not steel, and even wants to command the Star Pirates a light-year old by himself. But Kun still has dignity, his dignity cannot be bought by 2 billion!
Suddenly, Kun's mood was not so beautiful, and even the advertisement for the limited edition speed car lost its appeal: I have bought all of these cars, so why can't we hurry up and release two new models?
N7703 galaxy, planet 4, Chu Jungui was patrolling a newly built starship with two clusters of black mist. The wise men and Kaitian who have turned into the black fog can discover the smallest flaws and defects, and it is up to the return of Chu Jun to decide which ones need to be adjusted, and which ones can be kept without moving.
Each starship will be improved. Although there are not many changes, it is true that one is better than one. After the inspection is over, engineers will be stationed to carry out the final debugging of all equipment, and then the crew that has been prepared in advance will board the ship for routine training and operations.
After returning to the orbital base, Chu Jun returned was a bit tired. He hadn't closed his eyes for 20 days. The structure of humans is different from that of the fog.
Chu Jungui sighed, relieved his fatigue, and asked, "How many ships is this?"
Kaitian replied: "The eighth ship, this batch will be completed with four subsequent ships. Then we can fully carry out the new project."
"Yeah." Chu Jungui nodded, his gaze fell to the end of the base. There is a brand new station area there, and in the dock berth, a behemoth has just taken shape.
