What was the Research Consortium trying to do?
This was the question that Ye Chong and the rest were thinking about. S.S. Iron Scorpion was empty, as quiet as a ghost town. Inside the base, it was a mess. Things were scattered everywhere in a disorderly manner. Even the chips that were supposed to be confidential were thrown on the ground. It was obvious how panicked they were during the evacuation.
What happened here? What happened to the Research Consortium? Ye Chong was confused.
"What a waste of such a good place! It would have been a good base under normal circumstances, "Shang's voice was full of regret. Ye Chong did not reply. S.S. Iron Scorpion was a good base, but defending it now would be suicidal. Such a good base was worthless to Ye Chong.
S.S. Iron Scorpion had been under the Research Consortium's management for many years. The facilities inside were well-designed. It was obvious that much thought had been put into the design.
With 500 mech pilots, the place would become a real fortress of war. Ye Chong would not be able to take it down with his current strength.
Only then did Ye Chong realize how ridiculous his confidence was just now.
Fortunately, the Scientific Research Consortium's baffling retreat had benefited him in the end.
Ye Chong raised his voice, "Find the warehouse immediately!" A base like this would definitely have a large warehouse. That was what he needed most right now.
The only thing Ye Chong could do now was to pray that the warehouse was not empty.
"Instructor! We found the warehouse! "Xi Qing reported excitedly to Ye Chong. In this fleet, there were few people who were qualified to call Ye Chong "Instructor". Most of them were his former students like Xi Qing and Shu. These students were now the basic officers of the fleet. They were Ye Chong's most loyal supporters.
The warehouse was located inside S.S. Iron Scorpion. It was made entirely of alloy to prevent it from being hit. Even a warship cannon would not be able to penetrate the sturdy outer wall.
The heavy alloy door slid silently to both sides. It was dark inside the warehouse.
When the lights were switched on, the expectant crowd quietened down. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Inside the warehouse, the resources were piled up neatly. All the materials were categorized and stored very well. Some of them didn't even have the labels on them removed.
"This world is crazy!" Ye Chong muttered to himself. He didn't know why he said this, but he couldn't help but blurt it out.
After the initial shock, everyone came to their senses. Although everyone was ecstatic, their good discipline allowed them to remain relatively calm.
Without hesitation, Ye Chong waved his hand, "Move! Take them all away! "
After arranging the transportation plan, Ye Chong returned to Haskel. He was very satisfied with this operation. In the entire team, the only ones who felt regretful were the crew members on the 10 battleships. They had wanted to show off their skills in front of Ye Chong, but in the end, they did not even get to fire a shot. They were already a little frustrated, but they felt even more frustrated.
The Research Consortium was indeed rich! Even Ye Chong, who was not tempted by money, could not help but sigh. The mountain of resources shocked him a little.
But what happened to the Research Consortium? Based on what he knew, the Research Consortium was an organization with strong technological capabilities, but their military strength was not outstanding. But from the looks of it now, its military might might not be as weak as what the outside world had said. Ye Chong could see that the S.S. Iron Scorpion was a typical military facility.
All the signs indicated that the Research Consortium seemed to be in a state of chaos, and it did not seem like a planned retreat.
Well, what does this have to do with me? Ye Chong laughed at himself. If the Research Consortium had not fallen into chaos, the resources in the warehouse would not have fallen into his hands. Now, he should worry about his own fate.
Ye Chong's expression turned serious.
"Ye, don't look so stern, wrinkles. Wrinkles are the natural enemy of humans! By the way, Ye, you've been doing well. Hah, keep up the good work! "Shang said mysteriously," Ye, I've been compiling a database of beautiful women. How about I give you one? Hehe, there's Bing Bing's album too. "
Ye Chong was speechless as he listened to Shang's laughter.
Just then, the statistics report was delivered to Ye Chong.
Looking at the long lines of numbers, Ye Chong finally understood the bountiful harvest this time!
Energy cells were endless. For a long time, the fleet would not have to worry about energy cells in the warehouse. Another surprise for Ye Chong this time was the mech. There were 5000 D-6's! Ye Chong wondered what the S.S. Iron Scorpion was really for.
However, these 5000 D-6's were enough for Ye Chong's 2500 mech pilots to upgrade their mechs. The D-6's performance was much better than the Fighter mechs. After a short period of familiarizing himself with the mechs, Ye Chong's combat strength would increase significantly.
Other strategic resources were also uncountable. Ye Chong made up his mind this time, and ordered for the entire warehouse to be emptied. Xi Qing and Shu carried out the order thoroughly. Now, not a single piece of paper was left in the warehouse. Even the chips in the base were retrieved. However, the information inside them still needed to be sorted out.
Ye Chong's initial excitement had subsided, and his brows furrowed once more.
The problem of energy cells was solved, but the most important problem was still unsolved. How could they escape the red-tailed beasts' encirclement?
He could not think of a proper solution.
The red-tailed beasts were much faster than they were, and the red-tailed beasts on the flanks were charging forward like madmen. They were now left behind. In other words, they were already trapped in the red-tailed beasts' encirclement. The only problem was that the encirclement was not closed yet. Once it was closed, they would never have a chance to escape.
The Haskel was in a state of euphoria as well. The comms room was also bustling with discussion among the crew members. They were all guessing how many items they could bring back this time. Their work was very leisurely. Everyone was either sitting or lying down, chatting casually with a cup of hot tea in hand.
The comms room of a fleet's flagship was supposed to be a very important department. It was rare to see it so leisurely. After all, they had to relay the fleet commander's orders to every starship in the fleet. They were also responsible for the communication between the other starships and the flagship. It was a heavy responsibility. However, the well-loved and respected Sir Jay rarely used the comms room. His orders were usually relayed directly to Sir Xi Qing and Sir Shu.
"Everyone, how many items do you think we'll get this time? I heard that we've struck it rich this time! The items are piling up like a mountain. "One of the crew members said excitedly.
"Of course. Tsk tsk, the Research Consortium is really rich. I'm drooling just thinking about it!" Another crew member, who was lying on a chair, chimed in.
The leader of the comms room teased him, "Then why don't you go to the Research Consortium? Hehe. Don't worry, no one will stop you."
"Forget it." The crew member shook his head. "I still want to live. Other than Sir Jay, who else can help us survive? The Research Consortium? If they could help us survive, Iron Scorpion would not be alone. "
Everyone suddenly lost interest in chatting. They had high hopes for the Research Consortium in the beginning, but reality was cruel. The Research Consortium's inaction had caused more and more people in Gray Valley to lose faith in them.
Just then, the main comms room lit up. The alarm pierced the silence of the comms room. The crew members were stunned. They looked at each other. Suddenly, one of them realized and shouted, "It's Sir Jay!"
Everyone hurriedly got into position and connected the main communicator.
Ye Chong's image appeared on the comms. His voice was cold as the winter wind. "Orders. All captains with more than 20 years of experience, gather in the captain's room. Now!"
"Yes, sir!" The crew members quickly stood up and saluted.
Snap! Ye Chong's image disappeared from the holographic screen. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Sir Jay had issued an order through them, which caught them off guard.
"Get down to business." The leader's face was stiff. His calm demeanor was gone. Everyone returned to their posts and began to work. They had to relay Sir Jay's order to every starship as soon as possible.
Sensing the hint of anxiety in Sir Jay's voice, the crowd immediately tensed up, and their hands began to move at a rapid pace. This made them feel a little uneasy. To them, Sir Jay was the symbol of invincibility. Anything that could trouble Sir Jay would not be a small problem.
They passed on Ye Chong's orders to every starship captain as quickly as they could, with the strictest of words.
About 10 minutes later, all the captains with more than 20 years of experience had gathered in the meeting room. When they received the order, they immediately put down their work and rushed to the meeting room. The discipline in the fleet was strict. No one dared to challenge Sir Jay's authority. When they arrived, Sir Xi Qing and Sir Shu were already there.
The two captains who were familiar with them had already approached them to ask about the purpose of the meeting. However, Sir Xi Qing and Sir Shu did not know either.
Just then, Ye Chong entered the meeting room.
Everyone stood up and saluted. Ye Chong returned the salute. Ye Chong could not have thought of this. Now, almost all the rules and regulations in the fleet were established by Shang. However, the effect was obvious. Now, everything was in order, and the management was not as clueless as before.
Without further ado, he began the meeting in the most direct way possible.
"Now, we are faced with a problem that will determine our survival!" (To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, please log on to WWW .CMFU. com. More chapters. Support the author. Support legal reading!)
