Silicon Invasion

Unfortunately, although humanity was prepared, it seemed that the damage inflicted on the silicon-based beasts last time was far greater than humanity had imagined.

Until the mining team carefully and cautiously returned to base safely, they were not attacked at all.

Damn it, if I had known this would happen, we might as well have carried more ore.

In the conference room, a large group of officers and staff had barely closed their eyes since the team set off, seeking to provide the fastest possible command support in the event of an attack.

Relax, relax, no one could have predicted things would turn out this way. In any case, it's better to be safe than sorry.

As the main force carrying the ore, Warrior 7 was mostly equipped with dual long-range fire support systems for this mission. Even the cadets were equipped with single long-range fire support systems. In addition, they carried more than two ammunition loads, which significantly reduced their carrying capacity.

After a rough estimate, the ore brought back by this unprecedented super-luxurious team was only about 70% to 80% of what a thousand-person team would have brought back in the past.

Indeed, but has the reason for the silicon-based beasts' attack last time been analyzed?

Not yet. Nearly half of the things brought back have been checked, and no abnormalities have been found.

That won't do. The higher-ups require us to find the reason. Otherwise, if we send out this kind of team for every ore transport, the cost will be too high. Moreover, it's not just our base, but other bases are also worried about whether the silicon-based beasts on their side will go crazy.

This has only happened once in so many years. Is it really necessary to be so concerned?

Of course, it's necessary. Precisely because it only happens once in such a long time, the concealment and randomness are too high, making it easier to cause damage.

That's right.

Then let's wait for the laboratory results to come out. If there are indeed some different things in those ores, then we can easily complete the task. Otherwise, hehe, I guess you'll all be losing some hair.

Losing a little hair is nothing compared to the warriors losing their lives.

Indeed...

Luo Rui was unaware of the discussions between the base's higher-ups and staff. Due to the information asymmetry, he couldn't think too much. He only knew that after this collective mission, he could finally rest for a while.

To be honest, although his physical endurance was superhuman, it was really uncomfortable to be cramped in the cockpit for such a long time, sometimes for two or three days at a stretch. He just wanted to do some stretching exercises now.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed. During this time, Luo Rui basically maintained a frequency of two days of guard duty at Maikan, one day of rest, and a collective mining mission followed by two days of rest. Life was quite fulfilling.

There's nothing to elaborate on regarding the guard duty, but as for the mining missions, after the attack, three consecutive mining missions passed without any abnormalities. However, just as people's vigilance had relaxed slightly, the silicon-based beasts actually came again.

Unfortunately, this time their numbers were even less than last time, while the number of mechs on the human side had increased by 50%, not to mention their almost fully loaded weapon systems, plus the long-range fire support from the base. In one encounter, the silicon-based beasts were beaten to a pulp.

A great victory!

Although this victory was somewhat irrelevant to Luo Rui, it was crucial for the other cadets. If the death of a classmate was a nightmare, then this victory helped them shatter the nightmare. In the face of the power of the group, the silicon-based beasts were vulnerable, and Maikan was not as dangerous as they had imagined.

When Luo Rui and the others left Lake Can Base, there were only three days left of the summer vacation. Luo Rui hurriedly said goodbye to Niu Wei and the others and hurried home.

Walking out of Fengzhou City Airport, Luo Rui's legs were still a little shaky. You know, his legs hadn't even shaken when he had been in the cockpit for four or five days straight. The reason for this was because the BD1891 incident had left too much of a shadow on him.

Although his three attributes now far exceeded those of ordinary people, they were still useless at an altitude of 10,000 meters. If something happened to the plane, he would still be as helpless as before.

Originally, after the BD1891 incident, he had decided to resolutely not take planes, at least not civilian airliners, but time made him realize how ridiculous his so-called resolution was.

Three days. If he took the train, even if he took the high-speed rail all the way, trying to minimize transit stations, it would still take at least a day and a half to get to Fengzhou City, without considering money. Then, taking a bus to Dongmu would take another hour, and then getting back to school would take almost another day. Wouldn't his trip home be pointless?

Therefore, in order to spend more time at home, he still risked taking a plane, but he was so frightened along the way that the flight attendant thought he had a serious illness.

After learning that Luo Rui was just afraid of flying, the flight attendant smiled and provided him with attentive service. Of course, these were just normal first-class services.

However, when Luo Rui excitedly returned home, his parents didn't give him a good look and even sarcastically mocked him. Fortunately, after a few hours of venting, Luo Rui finally felt a little bit of the warmth of home.

Are these our lovely junior sisters?

At the playground fence, the four members of the original Room 406 were watching the freshmen military training.

With Luo Rui's EQ, he probably wouldn't have thought of gathering at the original dormitory. From the fact that he was dragging a suitcase while the three sitting in a row weren't, you can tell that this was just a pure coincidence.

The ratio of male to female students in the mech pilot major is quite unbalanced. Fortunately, this is not the case in other majors, but the three brothers in the dormitory, who had just entered university from high school last year, were a little restrained because they were unfamiliar with the environment. By the time they adapted, the girls they liked were already taken.

Therefore, this year, they planned to strike early.

When Luo Rui passed by the playground on his way back to school, he saw the three brothers in the dormitory holding onto the playground fence with lecherous expressions.

Looking at the freshmen in military training, he felt a little dazed. He had grown another year older. If he didn't have the attribute table, he should have been one of them, right? Of course, with his previous level, he would never have been able to get into Beishan Academy.

Suddenly, Luo Rui realized something. He didn't seem to have participated in the university freshman military training.

He had missed such an important experience?

Damn it, no wonder he always felt that his university life was missing something.

It turned out he was missing military training!

Forget it, what's missed is missed...

Luo Rui shook his head, released the suitcase, and also grabbed the railing to look at the playground.

Watching the freshmen military training, this experience is not necessary, but since he ran into it, he might as well check it off the list and enrich his life experience.

There are many people who enrich their life experiences. If it weren't for the fact that the three brothers in the dormitory were taking up a lot of space just now, it would have been a little difficult for him to enrich his experience.

The growth of attributes is all-round. Luo Rui felt that his vision was already difficult to describe and summarize with the existing measurement standards.

Simply put, he could stand at a random position on the outer edge of the playground, and as long as there were no obstructions, he could see the faces of the people on the playground. That's how awesome he was.

Huh? Luan Hui?
