The special plundering team led by Lang Ba safely left and returned to the cargo ship, while Xiao Ran continued to move towards the east of the ocean. He also received a list of the harvest of this operation through the communication channel.
With Xiao Ran as the target and target, and even taking the initiative to attack the military base, Langba and the others didn't encounter too many troubles and obstructions in their operation. Their swift actions allowed them to reap a bountiful harvest. Not only did they return with a full load of goods from the two transport helicopters, they also directly plundered two large transport aircraft parked at the hangar of the factory, and directly sent them back to the mainland with full loads.
The technicians who followed the operation team to the factory were already full of excitement when they saw the various equipment. They directly ordered the operation team members to dismantle the equipment. It didn't matter if they couldn't dismantle it slowly, they could just use the AS-s to dismantle it violently.
If the equipment is too big, they can't take it with them? It doesn't matter, they can still use the AS-s to dismantle it. Anyway, most of the large equipment only needs some key parts inside. The rest can be completely replicated in the mainland.
Yes, yes, yes, the motherboard must be carefully protected. Wah, wah, wah, all the mechanical arms must be dismantled and taken away. This kind of precision industrial machine tool is the best sample. Also, all the data and information in the factory must not be missed!
In total, two transport helicopters and two large cargo planes were stuffed to the brim. After they couldn't fit any more, the technicians were dragged away by the operatives and left reluctantly. After everyone left, the entire factory exploded and turned into a sea of fire.
In fact, the industrial strength of the mainland wasn't that bad. The heavy industry was good, and the light industry was also good. The gap wasn't that big when compared to the most advanced countries like the United States and the Soviet Union. Many precision products could also be manufactured locally. Otherwise, the mainland wouldn't have the ability to copy the heavy AS-s that only the United States had.
What really restricted the mainland from catching up with the United States and the Soviet Union was the cutting-edge technology, more precise processing capabilities, and advanced concepts. After digesting today's harvest, they might not be able to produce something like the third generation AS-s in the shortest time, but they could at least produce something better than the second generation AS-s.
As the plundering continued, they would be able to obtain what they didn't get today. This would only allow them to replenish more and more of what they lacked. As long as they had all the technology of the 3rd generation AS, they would be able to reach their goal in no time.
However, in the case of Law, even with the current local equipment, it is not impossible to manufacture the third-generation AS. Others may not be able to do it, but Law is not limited to this. If they can rely on Mithril's equipment to build the transformation fighter, then they can also use the local equipment to build the heavy-duty AS to build a new fighter that is not inferior to the M9.
However, these things will also greatly reduce Luo's workload. The local technicians can completely rely on the analysis of these devices, transform their own advanced equipment, and start the mass production of new AS. As long as technology can break through the invisible shackles, the next development will be quite fast.
In this way, Law will have more time to do other work and put his energy into more needed areas.
When Xiao Ran arrived at the predetermined coordinate, which is an ocean not far from Canada and the United States. After Xiao Ran's transformation fighter appeared, the Son of Dannu slowly rose from the bottom of the sea and opened its outer deck. After storing the transformation fighter, it quickly disappeared from the sea and began to move towards the headquarters of Mithril.
As the transformation fighter was sent into Gnacou, Xiao Ran also jumped out of the cockpit of the transformation fighter. As soon as he came out, he felt the dull atmosphere in Gnacou. Everyone who appeared in Gnacou had a heavy, blank, and numb expression on their faces.
Tessa personally appeared in Gnacou with Kalinin and Richard to welcome the arrival of Xiao Ran.
The moment she saw Xiao Ran appear in front of her, Tessa's eyes couldn't help but turn red. A few drops of tears flowed down her cheeks. Stepping on the heels of her high heels, she directly rushed to Xiao Ran and threw herself on Xiao Ran's chest. Her shoulders began to shake, and she also let out a soft cry.
Tessa's action made Xiao Ran stunned. He didn't expect that he would be treated like this as soon as he arrived. Someone even took the initiative to throw herself into his arms, making him a little embarrassed under the gaze of at least dozens of pairs of eyes. But feeling the crying girl in his arms, Xiao Ran also sighed slightly.
One hand hugged the back of Tessa, who was shorter than him by more than a head, and the other hand gently stroked Tessa's head. He didn't say a word, but looked up at Richard and Kalinin, who were at most two or three meters away from him, with a questioning look in his eyes.
In fact, Richard understood Xiao Ran's meaning, but he shook his head and pretended to be ignorant. This made Xiao Ran stunned, but he also didn't know how to comfort the girl in his arms. So, he just silently maintained his posture.
It wasn't until a few minutes later that Tessa gently pushed Xiao Ran away. She wiped her tears and forced an embarrassed smile at Xiao Ran. With red eyes, she said in a slightly hoarse and trembling voice after crying, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
"It's okay." Xiao Ran shook his head, bent down slightly, and patted Tessa's head. He said softly, "If there's anything you need me to do, just tell me, whether it's sad or happy. Don't hide it in your heart. I will do my best to help you."
"Okay." Tessa pursed her lips tightly and nodded. She looked at Xiao Ran with eyes full of attachment and pleading. At this moment, Richard finally spoke. "The situation is very bad now. This is not the place to talk. Please come with me."
Richard walked out of Gnacou and went straight to the captain's room of Dannu's Son. Xiao Ran and Tessa sat across a table from each other. Richard and Kalinin stood behind Tessa, protecting the weak girl like her left and right protectors.
After sitting down, Xiao Ran didn't stand on ceremony. He didn't want to wait for Tessa to speak. He directly asked, "How's the situation in Mithril now?"
Upon hearing Xiao Ran's question, Tessa lowered her head again and said softly, "Richard, tell Mr. Xiao Ran about the current situation."
"Okay," Richard nodded and began to tell Xiao Ran about the terrible situation in Mithril.
"The current situation is very bad for Mithril. It's a critical moment of life and death. All of our bases and headquarters were attacked by the Amalgam at the same time. The attack was very sudden. Perhaps there was a mole helping from the side. As a result, other than us, the other battle teams weren't fully prepared."
"Because Colonel Tessa listened to your suggestion, we abandoned Merida Island a long time ago and wandered the sea. That's why the enemy only occupied an abandoned base."
"Right now, our Western Pacific Squadron is the only intact squadron left. Our intelligence network all over the world should still be usable, but the rest of the squadrons have basically fallen apart. Their bases have either been destroyed or occupied. Only a small number of people have escaped the attack and scattered around the world to hide their tracks."
"We've completely lost all contact with the headquarters. The chief of operations, General Jerome Boda, the chief of intelligence, General Marl Amit, and other high-ranking personnel have all been listed as missing. We don't know the current situation in the headquarters, but the last order we received was to meet up with you at all costs."
"And in all these attacks, the forces of the Soviet Union and the United States also appeared, and there were even forces that we can't understand joining in. It was because of these American and Soviet troops and forces that we can't understand that the other bases fell in the shortest time possible without any resistance."
"The brain of Mithril, Count Mallory, is now under house arrest. Some of his supporters are also under house arrest. In order to protect the remaining supporters, we took the initiative to cut off all contact with them."
"The head of the research department in the United States, Dr. Peroz, a group of technicians, and the important factories have all been taken over and controlled by the Americans. Although Merida Island has the ability to build M9s, it can be said that Mithril no longer exists apart from us."
"At the same time, Mithril is also wanted by both the Americans and the Soviets. Just as Mister Arikos deduced, many of the Amalgamate's actions have been blamed on us. We've become the target of everyone's hatred."
"In other words, the Child of Dan Slave is now all that Mithril has." Xiao Ran nodded slightly. Mithril's current situation was not much different from what he expected. Xiao Ran was already mentally prepared for this. For him, it was more than enough to get the research department and the Child of Dan Slave.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Ran asked, "Now that you've completed the mission to meet up with me, what do you plan to do next?"
