Chapter 1888: Before the war

Selena, Demi, Halle and the others gathered in Cadran City. It took half a day, leaving Jin Xiantai and the others to build a defensive position, and only a day and a half.
If human beings are still at the level of the past, perhaps this day and a half is definitely not enough, but the next day and a half is definitely enough for Jin Xiantai.
All kinds of materials are readily available. AI robots have brought many metal plates. These metal plates are made through special processes and materials. The hardness is very high. In addition, there are also some collapsed building ruins. There are few ready-made materials, so these things are easily collected and used. Combining with the construction machinery in their hands, Jin Xiantai and the others, it took about half a day to build a stable defensive position.
The entire defensive position consists of three layers, which are circular as a whole, with towers and turrets, as well as rapid-fire energy organs. Jin Xiantai is confident that with this position, he can block the coming octopus army and show their colors.
The octopus men who became captives were all shot and imprisoned on the innermost floor of the center of the position, and more than 500 Zaku mechas were sent to guard. As long as there were Zaku mechas, these guys would simply turn over. Can not afford any storms.
For these octopus men, the Zaku mecha, which is more than 20 meters high, is like a demon, and they can be frightened to swing at the first glance.
After all, they are octopus men who have personally experienced the killing of Zagu mechs. They are not the same as those who have not seen them before. Because they have seen them, they will be very honest.
Some of the prisoners were also summoned by Jin Xiantai in a small shuttle, transported a few back to the spacecraft, and performed live experiments for the scientists.
It's not that Jin Xiantai is cold-blooded and cruel. In fact, these octopus men are not only enemies to humans, but no different from mice.
Don't talk about intelligent beings. Since they have engaged in hostilities and conflicts have broken out, from a human perspective, there is nothing wrong with Jin Xiantai doing this.
More importantly, through various experiments, scientists can see what kind of life the octopus people are and what their weaknesses are...
Since they killed the human messenger and ate him raw, the octopus civilization must pay for its actions.
In Cadran City, the surviving citizens have already fled here. Considering that the octopus army is about to arrive, Jin Xiantai did not let the Zagu infantry continue to sweep the city and search for the survivors.
A little bit of time passed, except for Kim Hyun Tae, all the human members who landed and gathered here did not show how nervous they were. It seemed that only Kim Hyun Tae would have such a little worry.
No way, as a commander, the burden on his shoulders is a bit heavy, and it is destined that Jin Xiantai cannot be as relaxed as the others.
As a position, this place is certainly not as comfortable as on a spaceship, but Jin Xiantai is not picky, just like this, he found a place where he was hurry, and set up a tent as his own command post.
In the center of the tent, there is a holographic projection three-dimensional virtual strategic sand table, which can directly project and simulate the current marching situation of the octopus men, as well as the geographical location and environment of their marching route.
In other words, with this sand table, Jin Xiantai can easily grasp the opponent's marching information, as well as the detailed information of the holographic projection after the reduction.
Selena, Demi, Halle, and another officer were all around the sand table at this moment, and everyone looked at the real-time situation of the octopus army projected on the sand table seriously.
The projected three-dimensional lines construct the geographical environment of a region. It can be seen that an army of octopus men with a number of about 300,000 is passing through the bottom of a valley in the northeastern suburbs of Cadran. Advance towards the periphery of Cadran City.
Because according to the sand table, not far away, there is a line of Cadelan into an outlying building.
"They are marching very fast. It seems that it won't be long before we will fight them."
Hallie spoke first.
Immediately, Selena leaned down slightly, staring at the three-dimensional projected strategic image in front of her and said: "The key to fighting or not is not the key. What I care about is whether they have any special weapons in their hands."
Basically, Selena’s focus is the same as that of Kim Hyun Tae.
She also has these concerns in this regard.
It seems that the octopus civilization is much behind the level of science and technology mastered by humans, but who can guarantee that the octopus civilization does not have the kind of weapons and equipment that humans have never seen before.
The universe is so big, there are so many civilizations, and all are so peculiar. It's really hard to say.
Demi thoughtfully continued: "Selena is right, and Chief William also has great concerns about this aspect, so I think we can't wait passively and wait for the beating. We should take the initiative to try and try first. What is the level of weapons and equipment they have."
Although Demi is still young, after all, he has undergone special training at West Point Military Academy and has slowly begun to show some talents in military operations. For example, the suggestions she made now are very good.
Instead of waiting passively, it's really better to take the initiative and try it out.
At the same time, using this active attack, you can also test out some more intelligence information.
Right now, for Jin Xiantai and the others, there is too little information at hand. If there is enough information, they will have nothing to worry about.
Jin Xiantai, who had been silent for a long time, glanced at Demi, his face showing approval.
When Demi saw this, she was a little excited. After all, her suggestion can be recognized, which is a great encouragement for the girl.
"Demi’s proposal is good. We should not wait passively in this way. We should take the initiative to go to Stan. Whether it is to test whether the other party’s weapons and equipment can threaten our Zaku mechas, or to see if they are genuine. It is necessary to master weapons we don’t know."
"Sir, leave this to me."
Since Jin Xiantai agreed with Demi's suggestion, and he wanted to send a team to attack the octopus army, he must send a Zaku mech infantry out.
There were so many people present, and all the high-level commanders were here.
Obviously, the attackers will choose from among them.
Therefore, as an Italian military officer, whether it is out of hatred for the octopus, or revenge for his companions, the Italian named Zodiini must stand up to fight.
"Sir, please let me lead the Italian Zagu Mecha Infantry Squadron, I promise to complete this mission."
After Zodini spoke, although the others also moved, they did not speak.
Now everyone is waiting for Kim Hyun Tae's decision.
After thinking for a while, Kim Hyun-tae nodded to Zuodini.
"Okay, it's you guys. Let's set off now. While fighting, you have to take pictures of the actual situation of the battle. This is very important."
Snapped!
Standing at attention and giving a military salute, Zodini responded with a loud voice to Kim Hyun Tae: "Guaranteed to complete the task!"
Zuodini turned and left, and the atmosphere in the camp became much more relaxed.
For the time being, there are so many things revealed on the sand table, and for more detailed intelligence information, you need to contact the very side.
The defensive position has been constructed, and Zodiini has also been sent out to conduct a surprise test. For the time being, Jin Xiantai and the others really have nothing to do, but they can't let everyone just wait.
Therefore, Jin Xiantai found a narration.
"I have contacted Washington. After conquering the octopus civilization, I have reported the plan to turn these octopus people into slaves. Washington has reported that there are many capital forces seeking the right to mine the No. 1 Mineral Star. I'm very interested, but I just don't know if these octopus people can do it, and how their price is calculated, so there is no conclusion on this matter for the time being, but I guarantee that this matter is only 10%, and all of us can have it. Small benefit."
As soon as this was said, the camp, which had been somewhat deserted, suddenly became a lot hotter.
After all, this matter involved everyone's interests, and Jin Xiantai had retrieved this interest for everyone.
At first, everyone thought that venturing out of the earth and carrying out starry sky exploration missions for all manpower was just a dead salary and subsidies, but it was unexpected that Jin Xiantai opened a way for everyone to make money.
That is to conquer the discovered races of lower civilizations and turn them into slavery and sell them to the capitalists on earth.
If this thing can really happen, then everyone's money will be lost.
Therefore, these people could not help not being excited.
"Washington has to take away 50% of the proceeds, and the remaining 50% can be given to us people, and we have to pay taxes when we make money. Please don't forget about this. Otherwise, it will be deducted for a crime of not paying taxes. I can't stand it."
Kim Hyun Tae made a joke, and at the same time revealed some news.
This can be done, but Washington has to take 50% of the profit. This represents the money collected by the government. It is also equivalent to the money received. Kim Hyun-tae and the others are considered to have legal clothes. If anyone criticizes them with this matter, Washington will stand. Come out to endorse them.
Seeing the excitement of the big guy, Kim Hyun-tae smiled and continued: "Although those people don’t know how to set the price, I dare to say that no matter how it is, there will be no less than 100 credits, and you just have to think about it. The population of these octopus people can then calculate how much money we can make in this way."
One of the American officers took the conversation with a grin: "Wow! Doesn't that mean that for the sake of our wallets, we will try not to kill too many octopus people in the future."
Hearing the words, Jin Xiantai put away the smile on his face, and looked at the American officer seriously and seriously: "You must not have such thoughts, absolutely not. There are a lot of these guys, so you let go. Kill it, I don’t want you to have any accidents on the battlefield because of this ~EbookFREE.me~. I hope that everyone will return to Earth intact and back to your family."
The American military officer was just joking.
Now everyone listened to Kim Hyun-tae's words, and their expressions were stunned.
Yes, Kim Hyun-tae is right.
In terms of money and your own life safety, your own life safety must be more important.
If anyone thinks that killing an octopus will earn some less credits, and let go of some opponents who have already been killed, then there will be an unexpected situation.
In order to avoid such a situation, Jin Xiantai reminded everyone so seriously that anyone who is not an idiot can hear the good intentions of Jin Xiantai's reminder.
Selena glanced at everyone and said, "William is right. There are a lot of octopus people. Even if we eliminate half of the number in the future, the rest will be enough to make money from smashing doors. It can only be sold to humans, but it can also be sold to other alien civilizations, and you can't say that the price will be higher."
