Ten minutes later, Xiao Ran rubbed his red cheeks and walked into the dimly lit bridge. He sat down next to the captain's seat. Commodore Perry was resting in the bridge. He probably wouldn't be back for a few hours. Xiao Ran came here to let Commodore Perry, who could be considered an old guy, take a good rest while he took over.
Sitting in his chair, he thought back to how he had tried to kiss Xue Lilu, but she had grabbed his cheeks with both hands and chased him away. He smiled bitterly and shook his head.
After an adjutant saw Xiao Ran, he quickly ran over and saluted in front of Xiao Ran. "General."
Xiao Ran nodded and became serious. "How's the recovery of the damaged airframes and the wounded?"
"It's all done."
"How many people were sacrificed? What's the situation like?" Xiao Ran turned to look at the adjutant.
"86 people were sacrificed and 125 were injured. 14 of them were seriously injured. 324 airframes were lost. 160 can be repaired after recovery. One battleship was sunk, two high-speed assault ships were lost, and 13 battleships suffered minor damage. A total of 418 people died in the line of duty and 256 were injured."
Xiao Ran listened to the numbers reported by the adjutant. He closed his eyes and leaned against the back of the chair as he exhaled deeply. He couldn't believe that there would be such a huge loss in such a short period of time. He shook his head and remained silent for a while before he slowly said, "The treatment of the injured must be kept up. We must not have more casualties. Make a list of the sacrificed soldiers. They are all heroes of the fleet, heroes of humanity. Compensate them according to the highest degree possible."
"Yes, Sir. I'll send the list to the headquarters."
Xiao Ran rubbed his temples and asked, "How's the movement of the bugs?"
"Most of them have entered Gaul 4. Only a small number of bugs and battleships are left in the universe. There's no sign of war with us. The people on the two landing ships didn't do anything special. However, the group from the Galaxy wants to see you. "
"They want to see me?" Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows. He asked curiously, "In what name?"
The adjutant said, "As a member of the investigation team, I hope to talk to you about the investigation on the Galaxy fleet."
Xiao Ran laughed and asked, "They don't know who I am, do they?"
The adjutant shook his head. "All information related to the general is within the scope of the gag order. I have been in contact with these people all this time. That's why I'm sure they don't know who you are. "
Xiao Ran propped up his chin and pondered. After a few minutes, he nodded. "Agree to their request, but don't reply to them so quickly. Also, limit the number of people. One is the best. The location will be on this ship. I'll leave this matter to you. Anyway, the most important thing is to not let them know about me. "
"Yes, General!"
Xiao Ran nodded and said, "What's the situation with the investigation team 117?"
"Regiment 117's MANCON-class warship has been found on Gaul 4, and several other ship wreckages have also been found in the universe. We have sent people inside to collect information."
"The location of the MANCON-class warship has been found?" Xiao Ran looked at the adjutant and rubbed his chin. "I haven't used the Recycler ability yet. One reason is that I haven't found a suitable recycler, and the second reason is that I don't have enough war merit points. Low-level recyclers aren't worth much. High-level recyclers are worth a lot of war merit points. Now that I have a lot of war merit points, and it's a MANCON-class warship, who knows what I can recycle. Although what I can get depends on luck, I can still give it a try.
"I'm just worried that I can only recycle a few useless parts. That would be a huge loss. A warship costs 20,000 war merit points." Xiao Ran unconsciously looked at the war merit points he had. The 70,000 plus points gave him a lot of confidence. He clapped his hands lightly. "Let's do it. I have to see if I can get anything out of it. Also, I have the Luck ability. No matter how unlucky I am, I won't just recycle a few pieces. "
Before deciding what to do, Xiao Ran might hesitate. He might consider the gains and losses and struggle in his heart. But once he decided what to do, Xiao Ran wouldn't hesitate for a minute. Even if the 20,000 war merit points he spent turned out to be trash, he wouldn't regret it.
Xiao Ran suddenly stood up and said, "I'm going to take a look at that MANCON-class warship. Get ready."
The adjutant was stunned for a moment before he quickly said, "General. We haven't explored the situation there yet. Won't it be too dangerous to go on like this? "
"Is the danger I encounter a danger, and my life is my life?" Xiao Ran looked at the adjutant, shook his head, and said indifferently, "Those investigators who have already gone in are also risking their lives to investigate the situation inside. I have nothing to do with them. Don't say anymore, get ready immediately."
The adjutant opened his mouth, but in the end, he nodded and said, "Yes, general, I will send a landing force to go with you."
Xiao Ran nodded in agreement because he noticed that when the adjutant said this, his face was also very awkward. If Xiao Ran refused again, he believed that the adjutant would definitely use the safety issue to reject Xiao Ran's request to go to Gaule 4.
"No need to wake up Commodore Perry. If there's anything, just contact me."
After the adjutant nodded, he immediately turned around and left to get ready. Ten minutes later, Xiao Ran got on a small transport plane in a combat suit. As soon as he ejected from the warship, several fighter squads and several Jeladi combat squads followed and protected Xiao Ran's transport plane as they entered Gaule 4.
When the transport plane landed on Gaule 4, Xiao Ran saw the towering giant warship. One was a thousand-meter class super-large warship, and the other was only a meter tall human. Compared to them, Xiao Ran was as small as an ant.
Many parts of the battleship's hull were covered in rust, and moss had grown everywhere. Its tattered appearance made it hard to believe that this was the most powerful MANON-class battleship of mankind. However, from the scars on this battleship, one could tell what kind of battle this battleship had gone through to become like this, and how it had been forgotten here forever.
More than a dozen soldiers walked in front with weapons in their hands. Xiao Ran followed behind these soldiers. Behind Xiao Ran were more than a dozen soldiers guarding the surroundings to protect him. The fighter jets hovered in the sky while the transformed fighter jets and the Jelali Empire's battle capsules protected him on the ground. Xiao Ran's safety was the most important thing. Everyone was on alert for anything that might happen around them.
Nearly a hundred investigators had entered this warship. At this time, Xiao Ran did not disturb the work of these investigators. Under the protection of the soldiers, he walked through a steel door that had been opened by the previous investigators. After passing through a long passage illuminated by the soldiers, he entered a slightly more spacious place.
Along the way, Xiao Ran also saw many completely decomposed corpses. There were also rooms where he could barely make out what they used to be. From time to time, he would also meet several investigators. Xiao Ran would also stop and ask them if they had found anything.
Along the way, Xiao Ran would also pay attention to what was in every room. He completely treated himself as a real investigator, paying attention to and investigating something. But what Xiao Ran was looking for was the photos of Sherry Dew and Orchid's family left behind on this ship.
But perhaps due to bad luck, after almost two hours, Xiao Ran and the soldiers protecting him climbed all the way to the bridge but did not find what he was looking for. In the end, he ordered the investigation team to retrieve everything that could be recovered on this ship. He also contacted the adjutant on the MANF-class warship in the universe and asked him to send more personnel to cooperate.
When Xiao Ran came to the bridge of this damaged warship, he also saw a lot of skeletons here. They were still wearing the military uniforms of more than a decade ago. He even saw a general. Of course, it was a dead general. Of course, there were also more than a dozen investigators here.
At that time, the entire investigation team 117 was attacked by the Zerg. The reason was that Orchid's singing attracted the Zerg, which eventually led to a misunderstanding between the two sides. In that battle, the entire investigation team 117 suffered a devastating blow, and the survivors were less than one in ten thousand.
It was also during this battle that Grace discovered that there were actually people who could control the Zerg with their singing. While she hated the Zerg for destroying everything she had, she also began to be deeply fascinated by the power of the Zerg. Grace, who should have been burned to death in the fire, was rescued by the people of the Galaxy Fleet. She was transformed and revived again. It was from then on that a huge conspiracy shrouded the heads of the Galaxy Fleet, the 25th Fleet, and the Zerg.
It could be said that the destruction of the 117 Fleet was the starting point of the whole storyline of Transdimensional Fortress F.
When Xiao Ran stood in the bridge of the warship, he was surprised to find that he didn't know how to use the skill 'Recycler Merchant', let alone what would happen to the ship after using this skill.
"If I knew this would happen, I would've tried it on a D-class body." Xiao Ran frowned. He walked to the main control panel of the bridge, pressed his hand on it, and tried to use the skill.
"Recycler Merchant!"
