Interplanetary Planting Master - Chapter 62
The early end of the military meeting could not be concealed from all the forces of the Federation, and for a while, everyone was inquiring about what had happened. All kinds of information are passed between the Federation, but there is a seal of the military department, and the news of the alien parasites did not come out. When the Federation had different opinions on this, Lu Li and his party secretly returned to the asteroid belt and joined Wei Na who was stationed there.
“Boss.” Wei Na handed over the command of the Iris to Lu Li, and asked, “What’s the situation in the Federation?”
“It’s the same.” After Lu Li sat on the command platform, he entered the highest authority password. The light brain worked, and while waiting, he said: “General Zhuang has returned to Tianshu and has completely taken control of the situation. However, the military department is reluctant to disclose the truth about the alien parasitic, for fear of causing turmoil in the Federation. The true and false General Zhuang’s The matter will not be disclosed.” At this point, Lu Li ridiculed, “When Adjutant Wei, you return to the Federation, you will find that Federal medical technology has been advancing rapidly in just a few days. The seriously ill General Zhuang is recovering day by day under the care of the medical officer. Will appear in front of the people alive and kicking.”
Wei Na smiled slightly, “You can’t be wrong about the military’s concerns.”
Lu Li: “I am afraid that the federal turmoil is one aspect, and it is probably also a reason to bargain with the federal government. However, our position determines our attitude. We are members of the Legion and naturally stand on the side of the military.”
With the effort between the two of them, Lu Li already took control of the Iris. A group of people on the starship took their place. Lu Li ordered the wormhole launcher to turn on, and said in a deep voice, “Target Zhenhaixing, let’s go.”
A few minutes later, the huge figure of Iris disappeared near the asteroid belt. Soon afterwards, the dark universe erupted with a sharp scream. Fatty Bai drove the starship to escape the asteroid belt in a hurry. Behind the starship, dense green tentacles were waving in the air. Fatty Bai wanted to break his head and couldn’t understand what was going on? He was confused about the memory of the past few days, as if he opened his eyes inexplicably and appeared here, and what was even more frightened was that it was actually a lair of some dark beast he didn’t know.
Fatty Bai was so frightened that he immediately updated the extraterrestrial map after escaping from the asteroid belt, emphatically marking this asteroid belt as highly dangerous, and reminding himself that he must go around here next time. Who on earth has such a big hatred with him? Fatty Bai was cursing in his heart for a long time, he was sure that he had lost a piece of memory, and those who could do this were all high-level guides. He must find out which **** did it, and he was thrown into the den of the dark beast in a frantic manner.
As Fatty White returned to the sphere of influence of the Red Spider Star Pirates group, the news that the asteroid belt 3.5 light years outside the northwest border was occupied by an unknown dark beast quickly spread. Whether it is a star thief or an explorer, they have marked this place as high-risk, and no one wants to risk their lives to approach the den of the dark beast.
This is exactly what Lu Li said in advance that Fatty Bai needed help. Once the asteroid belt is marked as a dark beast lair, it will spontaneously become a forbidden place, and the secrets of green life forms don’t have to worry about being passed by. The starship found it.
A few hours later, after two short jumps, Iris appeared over Zhenhaixing.
The news broke, and the entire Federation was shaken. No one would have thought that the Iris had escaped the subspace storm and returned alive after such a long time. Even the most optimistic people in the Federation would not dare to think so, especially when Zhuang Wei was seriously injured.
“It’s just **** luck!” The Captain of the Second Team of the 7th Legion, Kellogg, said in a low voice as he watched the falling Iris and the adjutant next to him, “I really hope that this nasty guy Lu Li will never come back.”
Kellock’s adjutant, sentinel Zhao Yingyuan unceremoniously pierced his words, “Actually, you are very happy that Major Lu is back alive, Captain. Some time ago, I heard that after the Iris accident, Captain, you suffered from insomnia for several days. .”
Kellogg gritted his teeth, “I was happy.”
Zhao Yingyuan pretended to be thinking and emphasized his pronunciation, “It seems that the captain is so happy that he even gave up the beauty sleep he has always valued.”
Kellogg glared at him angrily, “Adjutant!”
Zhao Yingyuan smiled slightly, without squinting, and said, “Please keep smiling, the general is looking at you, the captain.”
Kellogg subconsciously showed his eight teeth and laughed exaggeratedly.
Li Zhengdao: “…”
Kailuoke’s smile remained until he saw Lu Li. Across the distant crowd, Su He saw Kailuoke at a glance. His smile is too conspicuous, with deep eyes, high nose, sapphire blue eyes, and brilliant blond hair, it seems to have a soft light. Following his gaze, Shen Shen kept his lips still, humming, “Little guide, are you looking at Kylock? That idiot smiling guy?”
“…” Su He, he doesn’t know how to pronounce Shen Shen’s difficult pronunciation, he poke Shen Shen with his mental tentacles, “He is the flower peacock you often call?”
“Um… Um.” Shen Shen pulled his nose, “How? Isn’t it very vivid?”
Su He nodded with a weird expression, “It does look a bit like it.”
Shen Shen showed an expression similar to what a hero saw. Lu Li listened helplessly, squeezed Su He’s hand, and whispered in a low voice: “Kellock is a good person, but his personality is a bit exaggerated, and his hobbies are more special.”
Su He: “How special?”
Lu Li paused, it seemed difficult to describe, “…slowly you will know.”
The expressions of the two of them were intimate and their movements were natural. Kailuoke’s eyes widened in surprise, and he reacted afterwards, “Lu Li found a guide? When?” This question was also the question of everyone present. A lot of eyes fell on Su He, curious, friendly, and inquiring… Su He was calm, and let everyone look at it generously.
Kellogg said sourly: “It’s just a **** luck.”
Across two levels of people, Lu Li walked up to Li Zhengdao a few steps. “General.” He put his right hand on his chest and made a military salute, and said sincerely: “The general is worried.”
“Smelly boy.” The old man scolded, but the smile in his eyes didn’t conceal it at all. The return of Iris and his group alive not only made Old Man Li happy, but it was also very good news for the entire Seventh Army. No legion can withstand the destruction of the trump card team, especially the team stationed on the border like Lu Li. Their damage represented a lack of a hole in the entire border defense line. Who should be adjusted to make it up, and whether it can be made up was a problem that Li Zhengdao and the entire army were worried about.
In the unlikely event that the reserve team’s capabilities are not sufficient, the deployment of the entire border defense line will be disrupted, and the corresponding pressure on the Kahn planet’s front line will also be passed on to other defense lines. This is something no team is willing to face.
The old man smiled and looked at Lu Li, Su He, and the crowd of Iris, and then urged them to rectify and rest first. In the follow-up, Lu Li still needs to apply with the Military Department to revoke the report of their disappearance, including verifying the identity and re-opening the authority. When there are more busy things, there will be no time to rest.
Lu Li agreed, disbanding the team and letting everyone move freely. He and Su He were about to leave when the old man suddenly thought of something and told Lu Li to turn his back on Su He and secretly give him a control button.
“Boy, this is the control button of No. 121 warehouse in Zhenhai No. 2, which stores the supplies compensated by the Fourth Army. You can pick it up at some time. In addition, the rewards issued by the military department have also hit you. You remember to check the account.” He said earnestly, “Although it is a good thing for a guide to have money, don’t you forget that it’s a tradition for a sentry to support a family, you know?”
“…” Lu Li’s eyes were weird, the usual gentle expression on his face almost couldn’t sustain, and the corners of his mouth twitched and nodded.
Saying goodbye to Li Zhengdao, Lu Li gave the control button to Su He for safekeeping. Zhenhaixing-2 is a satellite orbiting Zhenhaixing. It was rebuilt by Li Zhengdao as a storage base for storing supplies. Being able to occupy a warehouse there indicates that the amount of this material is quite large. Lu Qizhong was warm, and smiled helplessly when he thought of Li Zhengdao’s words.
Su He didn’t feel much about Li Zhengdao’s words. He and Lu Li were combined, spiritually equivalent to a person. What is the difference between him raising Lu Li and Lu Li raising him? Besides, even if Iris is nominally his, without Lu Li and Iris, he can’t even return to the Federation, and guarding a planet has no meaning at all. He is more concerned about what will be in the warehouse than entangled with this.
Lu Li touched Su He’s head and said, “Generally, it is mainly based on mecha, energy stone, and nutrients.”
“The army’s main ration is also a nutrient?” Su He keenly picked out the key points.
Lu Li nodded and joked, “Why do you think the Iris is so poor? Part of the reason is the raising of the starship, and part of the reason is that it was eaten up by those guys.”
The Federal Government has fought against the Dark Beasts for many years and has been vigorously encouraging childbirth in order to maintain a sufficient supply of troops. The population expansion, the destruction of wars, and the destructive exploitation of resources by the federal government have led to a complete ecological imbalance between thousands of resource stars and residential stars. At present, there are only a few natural planets that can be cultivated in the entire Federation, and most of them are the prevalence of ecological cabins and ecological boxes. On the one hand, compared with the huge demand, the output of federal crops simply cannot keep up. On the other hand, the cost of crops produced through ecological equipment is extremely high, and the federal government cannot support the entire army at all. Therefore, the federal army, like the civilians, uses nutritional supplements as its main ration.
Su He looked at Lu Li sympathetically, and thought of another question. “I remember the federal history records that when the earth’s population was the smallest, it was only tens of millions. How could it expand so quickly in just one thousand years?”
Even if a mother gives birth to one a year, having ten is the limit. I have to raise children and fight. I always feel that the development of numbers is a little weird. With his academic style, Lu Li laughed, did not explain, but clicked on the terminal and found a picture for him to show.
“The artificial uterus is one of the inventions of the military. It was originally just to liberate pregnant female sentry, and then it was extended to the entire human society.”
The picture shows something similar to the ecological fish tank that Su He has seen. The bottom is the base, and the top is transparent material, simulating a female uterus. There are detailed instructions on the side of the “fish tank”. This machine provides fully automatic embryo development control services. Mothers-to-be only need to combine sperm and eggs and inject them into the artificial uterus.
“…” Su He, “Is it all like this?”
“Of course not.” Lu Li and Su He clasped their fingers tightly and said: “This is just a way, and some women always insist on having children by themselves.” For a while, the Federation encouraged the promotion of artificial wombs among the people. After all, the dark beasts are aggressive. It seems that humans can only crush this advantage in quantity. However, as population pressure has increased in recent years, the federal government has begun vigorously advocating natural birth and reducing births.
“The Federation’s area has not been expanded for nearly two hundred years. The nearby star field has only found a few planets suitable for human survival after exploration. It is just that the air is suitable, and the environment is very general. The Federation’s population pressure is huge now, and man-made The uterus has gradually withdrawn from the market.” Lu Li explained patiently.
Su He’s thoughts jumped, and from the planetary environment Lu Li said, he generally thought of the vast market of formations. It’s a pity that he is the only one in the division. If there are many people, they can form a space environment transformation company, which can transform the planetary environment while planting crops, and make money with both hands.
“The ideal is good.” Lu Li chuckled, “We can start by transforming the planet Iris and Kahn.”
