Some time after Dias's wedding, the A Squad sent word that the B Squadrons were to adjust their condition, stock up and inspect their equipment. The A Squad had personnel who would be testing their starships with the latest weapons.
Due to the incident at Sector S, all ten B Squadrons temporarily returned to Vanguard's stronghold at Sector K, regardless of whether they were still on a mission or not. Vanguard B Squadrons were all gathered together, which was a rare occurrence.
Beaver, Eudy and the others had been watching from the sidelines when the A Squad sent over to equip the Sixth Division with the new weapon system. The Sixth Division's engineers were also watching carefully and seriously. After all, if they were to go out on a mission and something went wrong, there was no way the A Squad could come along and repair it. They would have to rely on themselves.
Before this, the engineers and technicians of the Sixth B Squadron had developed a few types of weapons and equipment based on those special ores. But this time, the A Squadron had developed something a little more sophisticated. They had modified the negative threats brought about by the previous weapon systems and increased their attack power and defense power while also increasing their own stability by a lot.
Huimao yawned after watching for a while. He could basically understand these weapon systems by scanning them from the side, so it was boring to be called here by the Miantuan to watch the weapon installation.
Huimao stuck out his butt, stretched his back and licked his lips. Then, he decided to harass Silin at the lab.
Right now, Silin, Likrabe and Tico were producing anti-biotics together. The news from the A Squad indicated that they were about to depart again, so they had to produce the anti-biotics before they departed. After all, the experimental conditions on the starship couldn't compare to the conditions here, and there were a lot of restrictions.
Likrabe's eyelids twitched as he watched Huimao walk in openly and jump onto the lab table in front of him while holding a test tube in his hand. How the hell did this guy pass the system inspection and come in?!
This cat had truly given him too many blows. Every time he saw this bastard cat, he couldn't help but want to slap it a few times. However, Cary once told him that if this cat didn't know how to be beaten voluntarily, he might not be able to draw the gray cat even if there were ten of him. What a blow!
"I say, Lord Wheeze, are you here for an inspection?"
Huimao glanced at Likrabe lazily and yawned. "Where's Silin?"
"The captain just went to look for him." Likrabe took away the small bottles beside Huimao. "This is not a place for you to play. Be careful of the liquid, it will hurt …"
Before Likrabe could finish, Huimao curled his claws and grabbed one of the vials. He sniffed it and then handed it back to Likrabe in disdain.
Likrabe shook his head helplessly and packed up the small bottles. Just as he was about to speak, Tico, who was in the sterile isolation room, started to rush him.
Likrabe took out the things he needed from the medicine cabinet. Beside him, there were two auxiliary robots helping to sort them out. Then, he placed them in the passage and sent them in after a few layers of scanning and sterilization.
"Alright, let's go out and play. I still need to continue with my experiments." After that, Likrabe walked to a small room outside the sterile isolation room to change into his isolation suit.
Huimao did not stay in the room and left with his tail wagging.
Watching Huimao leave the laboratory, Likrabe breathed a sigh of relief. What a worrisome guy.
After Huimao came out, he was about to go to the captain's office to look for Silin. However, he ran into Xueqiu on the way and was called by Xueqiu to watch the fun.
The so-called fun was Chifeng's awkward shooting. Kari and Tang Qiuqiu were teaching Chifeng how to shoot. Chifeng's fingers were getting more and more flexible, and he was gradually accepting the way of life that belonged to humans.
In addition to shooting, there was also the piloting of fighter jets. Chifeng and Tang Qiuqiu were learning how to pilot a fighter jet. Based on the current situation, the use of fighter jets might increase a lot in the future. As the main combat personnel, how could they not know how to pilot a fighter jet? They had to be familiar with it. If they made a mistake during a chaotic battle, not only would they lose their lives, they might even kill their comrades.
Cary pulled out the fatty who was secretly laughing in the corner and tossed him a gun. This was a gun used by beginners, and it was much simpler. It was a metal bullet type, and its recoil wasn't that strong either.
After getting the "toy," Xueqiu was no longer in the mood to laugh at Chifeng. He picked up the gun with difficulty and began to practice shooting.
Five minutes later, Huimao was lying on the shelf next to him and yawned again. He tilted his head and looked for a long time before saying, "Clumsy."
The fatty's round ears twitched as he turned to look at Huimao. "How much better do you think you are than me? At least I can still pick up a gun. What about you? You can't even pick up a gun with your claws, can you? "
Huimao's ears flicked. He was obviously disdainful of this sentence. "Why would I need a gun?"
He jumped down from the shelf and walked elegantly to Xueqiu's side with his head held high. He looked at the target in the distance and moved a few steps towards it. He turned back to look at Xueqiu. "Continue shooting."
Xueqiu didn't know what it was going to do. He raised the gun with his two chubby hands and shot. Huimao's tail also flicked at a speed that was hard to see with the naked eye.
Beep —
"Ten points!" The System's voice rang out.
This was the first time Xueqiu heard the System's voice after shooting for half a day. He hadn't even touched the side of the target before.
Xueqiu's mouth opened and closed repeatedly. He scratched his butt and head. "You did this?"
Although Xueqiu wasn't good at shooting, it didn't mean that he was stupid. On the contrary, his IQ was very high. He naturally knew that he wouldn't be able to hit the target with his ability.
"Uh-huh!" Huimao sat there with a "worship me" look on his face. He was very proud.
"Amazing!" Xueqiu happily went up to ask for advice. Humans had their own methods, but beasts had their own as well. Techniques that were suitable for humans might not be suitable for them.
While Huimao and Xueqiu were discussing the shooting techniques of beasts, Silin was in Shotton's captain's office.
The lieutenant commanders were all present, so Shotton conveyed the A Squadron's message to them.
Since the incident at Sector S had come to an end, and all parties had calmed down, the A Squadron decided that the squads could move if they wanted to. However, there was a change now. The A Squadron hoped that the squads could work together and look after each other. It was too easy for a single B Squadron to get into trouble.
Two B Squadrons would form a group, and the two squads would coordinate the time and destination of the operation. They would also discuss and decide when to depart.
"Three Squadrons?"
The lieutenant commanders were puzzled. Why would three B Squadrons volunteer to work together? Someone like Falvey wouldn't expect something like this to happen.
However, when they recalled that Falvey had personally flown a plane to pick up Silin a while ago, the lieutenant commanders looked at Silin and pondered the reason behind it.
Shotton tapped the table with his finger and said, "Alright, let's not think about anything else. What I want to say right now is that three B Squadrons have a job at Sector G. Falvey is asking for my opinion. After all, we need two squads to work together right now, and we haven't even finished our vacation according to our original plan yet. So I'm asking for your opinion right now. Do you want to continue your vacation, or do you want to go according to our original plan? Or do you want to go with the Third B Squadron? "
"What is the Third B Squadron planning to do at Sector G this time?" Akaí asked.
"They're going to ship a batch of T13 ores to the Robert Family. According to the agreement, they will receive a handsome reward and a batch of robots made from the T13 ores."
"Of course we're going. We've rested for such a long time, and the people who received treatment at Sector E have returned safely. Right now, everyone's itching for a job. If it wasn't because of what happened a while ago, they would've applied for a trip outside a long time ago." Lieutenant Commander Lu Suo said.
"I agree. Our bones will rust if we rest any longer." Laro said.
Waqin agreed with their opinion.
Zaya, Chasha, and Akaí remained silent.
Shotton turned his gaze to Silin. Although Silin was silent as well, Shotton knew that it wasn't that Silin hadn't made up his mind yet, but that he was still considering something.
Sector G was the largest robot manufacturing center in the League of Stars. It was rich in a kind of ore, and it played an important role in the alloy material used to make robots. Several big families had built their manufacturing bases there.
Noticing Shotton's gaze, Silin straightened his body and asked, "How much benefit will we get?"
"Forty-six. We'll get thirty percent, the third squad seventy percent, and we'll get twenty percent for the robots. They'll get eighty percent." Shotton answered.
"So little?" Akaí was a little dissatisfied with the distribution.
"They're the ones who found the T13 mine after all. If it wasn't for the A Squadron's arrangement, they would've gone alone. They don't want anyone else to share the profits."
"That's true."
The lieutenant commanders began exchanging opinions.
In the end, they all agreed to go. It was two B Squadrons after all, so there shouldn't be any problems. Moreover, the profits they reaped from this operation were pretty good.
After the group executive meeting, Silin left Shotton's office and walked back. Silin was thinking about the situation at Sector G.
The Robert Family was known as the robot kingdom in the League of Stars, and there were people in the family who worked in the military. Although they might not be able to compete with some of the other big families in terms of power, they were superior in technology, wealth, and background. These were the reasons why they were able to establish themselves as a big family in the League of Stars.
Some people said that the Robert Family members were born to work with robots, and Mo Heng had mentioned a few things about the Robert Family back when Cillin was learning how to assemble parts from Mo Heng. Their assembly accuracy was no lower than 99.97%, and they were definitely a talented family.
While he was thinking, he heard Huimao's voice, "Silin, you're back!"
It was obvious that the guy was in a good mood.
Huimao rushed over and climbed up Silin's legs familiarly. He climbed up to his shoulder and slapped Silin's back with a smug look on his face.
"What is it now?" Silin scratched Huimao's extended chin.
"It's nothing. I just gave that white fatty some pointers, that's all." That was what Huimao said, but it was obvious that he was hinting for Silin to praise it.
"Heh yo, Lord Cat, you've started teaching your students too." Silin played along with Huimao's intentions.
"Oh, Silin. Why did Shotton look for you? Is it because there's work to be done? "
"Bingo."
"Wahaha, meow my, I really want to show off my skills now! Ahem, it's not like I have to fight. " Seeing Silin looking at it sideways, Huimao corrected himself, "It's really annoying to be cooped up in here. If the squad wasn't busy, I would've suggested that you go out for a walk."
"There's no need for that now. The whole squad is on the move, but this time it's not just us. We're working with the Third B Squadron …"
While walking back, Silin told Huimao about the operation and the robots at Sector G. This had undoubtedly piqued Huimao's interest, but Silin also reminded Huimao not to expose his cyborg body unless it was absolutely necessary. Otherwise, the Robert Family would not let him off the hook.
Everyone in the Sixth B Squadron became lively when they heard that there was a mission. Cary, who had been listless for the past few days, was now on steroids again. Taking advantage of these few days of preparation, he summoned Chi Feng, Tang Qiuqiu, and Udoze over to teach them a good lesson. He explained how to handle some emergency situations during a mission.
Before the operation, Likrabe had finally produced an anti-growth drug with Tico's help. This undoubtedly boosted the Sixth Division's confidence once more.
Chifeng held his combat uniform and couldn't bear to let go of it. He especially liked the hole on the pants. There was an elastic band there, and it made it very easy to let his tail out. He put it on and tried it on. It was much more comfortable and sturdier than the clothes he passed to him before.
He also had to choose his own weapon first. When Silin returned from Sector S, he told Kari about how his wrist was easily cut off by a sword. While Kari marveled at the strength of the enemy's weapon, he also mourned the GAL credits he had spent like water.
Every squad had a new member for this operation, and Silin's was the strangest of them all. There was a doctor, an apothecary, a couple of animals, and a non-human Chifeng.
Udoze took out the emblem he had been hanging inside. He was very happy that he could finally hang it outside openly.
The rendezvous with Falvey was at the spaceport outside the planet. The spaceplanes from the two B Squadrons flew towards the few starships parked at the spaceport.
The squad members followed their lieutenant commander and flew into the starship.
The moment they returned to the familiar starship, Huimao immediately began his long-awaited territory patrol. This time, he brought Xueqiu with him. The Miantuan and Whitey were standing on Xueqiu's head. Whitey the rabbit was munching on a carrot while observing the surrounding scenery. It didn't need to walk anyway, so it looked pretty relaxed.
Since Chifeng was still young and unfamiliar with many things, he stayed in a small room at Silin's place for now. If anything happened, Silin would be able to help him.
Xueqiu was obviously staying with Tang Qiuqiu, and the white rabbit was staying with Tico.
But these animals would gather together to play every day, and the Miantuan was growing happier and happier. In the past, he was alone, and when he was thrown out by Eudy, he could only lie in a corner and sleep all by himself. Later on, Huimao, then the white fatty Xueqiu, and now the rabbit had joined them. Their army was growing stronger and stronger!
Looking at the four animals lying there and playing a holographic flying chess game, Udoze wiped his face. They've all become spirits, they've all become spirits...
The small starships of the B Squadrons had merged with their main starships, so there were only two starships belonging to the Third B Squadron and the Sixth Division flying in space.
Inside the main control room of the Third B Squadron's main ship, Falvey sat on a chair and stared at the screen in front of him. He was as silent as ever, and the screen was displaying a two-dimensional linear star path map of Sector G, but Falvey's thoughts were not on it right now.
The reason Falvey treated Silin differently was because Nata had told him some things about Silin that day, things that even Shotton didn't know about.
Information about the two parasites and how to accurately control the decline and death of the parasite colony wasn't something that just anyone could do. Falvey had seen the specimens of the two parasites before, and he had heard the A Squadron's researcher's evaluation of the two parasites.
Artificial, modified parasites were like terrifying weapons. They didn't need strong radiation energy or firepower, and if they were allowed to reproduce on a normal planet without implanting serial death genes that allowed them to perform programmed deaths at specific times like robots, they could destroy an entire planet in a serious case.
Nata said that Silin might be the only person in Vanguard who could continue Chamounidin's Parasite Code according to its original standards. It wasn't that Falvey didn't know the value of the Parasite Code. On the contrary, he knew its importance very well, especially after Nata's words. Right now, Falvey's opinion of Silin had changed a lot, and it was because of Nata's words that Falvey volunteered to cooperate with the Sixth Division.
That day, Nata looked at a document in her hands and said, "Azrael has Godfather, but as long as Vanguard exists, there may be an existence that is not inferior to 'Godfather' in the future as well."
This "existence" was Silin.
While Falvey was thinking about Nata's evaluation of Silin, the "existence" Nata spoke of was sleeping soundly in his own bedroom.
Previously, he thought that he would have to absorb the information left behind by Chamounidin in that state of 'sleep', but this time it was because he stayed up all night with Eudy and Beaver to study the prison's defense system at Sector S, and the reason why 'Fog', 'Wushe' and 'Azrael' were able to hack into the prison's defense system and paralyze it.
For the next few days, Eudy and Beaver couldn't take it anymore. They stopped twice to replenish their energy, but Silin didn't stop even once. At that time, he only needed to close his eyes to be filled with densely packed programs and formulas. If someone were to listen to a couple of relevant numbers in Silin's ears, he would immediately substitute the numbers into those complicated formulas and calculate the results. It was a conditioned reflex at the time.
If it wasn't for Silin, there was no telling how long it would take for Eudy and Beaver to finish their research.
Right now, Silin, Eudy and Beaver were all sleeping soundly on their own beds. They hadn't even cleaned their beards yet. Huimao jumped next to Silin, scratched Silin's messy hair with his claws and sniffed it. It smelled weird. How many days has it been since I washed my hair!
Sneezing in disgust, Huimao jumped onto Chifeng's little bed, grabbed Chifeng's tail and curled his body into a ball. Then, he too began to sleep. That chameleon said that the coming days might be harder, so he needed to conserve his strength. Yep, that's how he described it.
