Chapter 2949 Failure
Inside the base's cabin, Wayne's team was cooperating in the preliminary sorting of a batch of newly delivered ore.
Wayne said, "Boss Fang, maybe I'm timid. I always have a bad feeling. Although we have a good relationship with the military, if the parliament is unwilling to continue cooperating with us..."
"It's okay, I know what's going on."
Fang Heng didn't care about the Federation's attitude at all.
If the Federation is willing to cooperate, he can naturally save a lot of effort, give the Federation some benefits, and everyone will win.
save time and energy.
If the other party is too greedy...
He has at least a hundred ways to ensure that the Federation does not get any contribution at all.
Fang Heng said as he looked at the game prompts.
Because the sandy ground of the entire world has been affected by long-term corrosive wind and frost, it is difficult to gain ground, so the movement speed of the Lickers on the sand has been greatly affected. Currently, the exploration of the entire world is still less than 5%.
There should be more mining areas in this world.
So the next step is to find a way to improve the efficiency of ore mining.
Repairing the road?
Fang Heng touched his chin.
Let's take it step by step.
"You guys continue, I'll go take a look outside."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Fang Heng left the safe zone defense barrier again.
The fierce sandstorms scraped at people's bodies like blades, and ordinary people simply could not leave the defense barrier without wearing protective clothing.
But Fang Heng is different.
The wind and sand could not damage Fang Heng's surface skin at all.
Not far away, the scientific researchers on the ship saw Fang Heng through the glass barrier and looked at him strangely.
Li Zhixuan couldn't help but raise her head and looked at Fang Heng a few more times, as if thinking about something.
Not long ago, she got in touch with Su Guantong.
Su Guantong did not reveal much about Fang Heng's identity, but Su Guantong repeatedly reminded her that in an emergency, she could ask Fang Heng for help.
So what is Fang Heng going to do?
Under the curious gazes of a group of researchers, Fang Heng slowly opened his hands, and the Book of Elements appeared in front of him.
"Earth Barrier!"
"Boom! Boom boom boom!!!"
Under the infusion of mental power, the surrounding sand quickly gathered and rose from the ground, blocking the temporary base like a towering rock wall.
Does this work too?
Ordinary magical rock and soil barriers are at most two meters high. How could Fang Heng's rock and soil layer be more than ten meters high and two or three meters thick?
It was the first time for the engineers and researchers on the ship to see this terrifying spell-control effect, and they couldn't help but show a look of horror in their eyes.
Fang Heng frowned slightly.
No.
The texture of the sand itself is extremely loose, and coupled with the continuous erosion by wind and sand, the outer layer of sand in the barrier is being rapidly corroded and lost by the wind and sand.
Unless he continuously expended his mental energy to re-condense the sand barrier outside, it would not be able to last for too long.
Fang Heng loosened his hands and stopped the continuous infusion of mental energy.
The more than two-meter-thick sand and soil layer became thinner at a speed visible to the naked eye under the continuous erosion of wind and sand, until it collapsed completely ten minutes later.
Pity.
The researchers inside the base all showed disappointment when they saw this.
A researcher stepped forward and said, "Dr. Li, we have conducted research on sand and have made some discoveries. Come and take a look."
"okay."
Outside the ship, Fang Heng shrugged.
There is no other way. We can only rely on the teleportation barrier and anti-gravity system as a temporary base.
Hopefully the Federation can find a way to change the terrain to help the Lickers transport supplies quickly.
As for now...
It can only be transported slowly by a group of lickers.
……
The sandstorm continued until night time and showed no sign of stopping.
Colette frowned, anxious.
Twelve hours have passed since the federal ship returned to transport supplies, and it has not returned yet.
What is the situation?
Are you in trouble?
Li Zhixuan, the head of the research department, has come to see him several times.
A feeling of unease is spreading throughout the safe zone.
Unfortunately, due to the influence of sandstorms in the local world, the communication between the temporary base and the ship headquarters has been intermittent.
"Sir! There's news!"
The researcher's eyes lit up and he reported. Then he looked down and saw the message sent from headquarters. The smile on his face immediately disappeared visibly.
Colette immediately came up and asked, "What did headquarters say?"
Inside the temporary main control hall, several researchers and soldiers all looked towards the researcher who was shouting.
"Headquarters said..." The researcher showed a sad face, "The ship encountered a malfunction after returning to the headquarters. It is currently being repaired. We need to stay here for a while."
The ship is broken down?
They can't go back?
Upon hearing this news, everyone's heart sank.
Colette frowned, keenly aware of something strange, and turned back to look at Vian in the crowd.
After the ship experienced the hive destruction war, it was sent back to headquarters for repair and maintenance. It did not experience any combat during the subsequent period, and even did not need to be inspected after returning. How could the problem be suddenly discovered?
unusual.
Did the expert group do it on purpose?
Vian noticed Colette's gaze, his expression indifferent, and he laughed in his heart.
indeed.
That’s what their expert group recommended.
So what if you figured it out?!
"How long do we have to wait?" Collette asked.
"Communications have just been interrupted again. Headquarters has not specified the waiting time, but let us be prepared. This maintenance may take some time. To ensure safety, we need to wait until the ship has been fully inspected and confirmed to be free of problems before we can be picked up."
The researcher paused, his face slightly pale, his lips trembling, "In addition, headquarters recommends that we immediately complete the initial upgrade of the clan jump system in the temporary base to avoid possible dangers in extreme situations."
A researcher nearby couldn't stand it anymore and started shouting, "What do you mean? The headquarters won't be here anytime soon? Are we abandoned here?"
"Shut up!"
Colette glared at him, feeling more and more uneasy. She asked, "What's the current status of the warp system construction? Also, what's the current status of our temporary base?"
Li Zhixuan walked out from the crowd of researchers and said, "The temporary base currently has 78% remaining energy, which is good. According to the current status, we estimate that our remaining energy can last for 52 hours. The main brain jump system has been urgently repaired two hours ago. We can now contact the clan network and perform some of the most basic material jumps. Deputy Captain Colette, you should have some reserve clan contribution points on you."
"Well, I have clan contribution points, enough for us to exchange for defense barrier energy and food."
Colette looked around at everyone and continued, "Now that things have come to this, let's just stay quiet and wait for rescue. I'll stay here, what are you afraid of?"
As everyone listened, their tense mood finally relaxed a little.
At least there is no shortage of energy and food, and there is no threat to life at the moment. (End of this chapter)
