Lin Yun's father also rushed over from Earth soon. It was the first time he met Chen Lin's parents, but both sides had a very pleasant parties agreed that matters between their children should be decided by the children themselves, and they directly let the two young people decide the date of their marriage.
Chen Lin finally discussed it with Lin Yun and decided that November would be a more suitable time, so the date was set.
This news soon spread to the top leaders of the entire Origin Star, and many of them began to prepare what kind of gift to give at that time, just like the gift they gave to Chen Lin during the Chinese New Year.
Lin Feng was happy to stay in the inland environment of Dalad for a longer time, but Chen Lin didn't have the time. He hurriedly bid farewell to his fiancée, parents and future father-in-law, and returned to Anyun Base.
He stayed in Dalad for four or five days. There were new changes in Taka Continent. The key now was that he needed to come back quickly to take charge of the situation.
Chen Lin had just returned to Anyun Base when he saw his deputy rushing over. He was like seeing a savior when he saw him: "Chief, you are finally back. If you hadn't come back, I might have gone to Darad to find you!"
"What's going on?"
Chen Lin frowned slightly. He heard the news that there was a problem with the portal at Anyun Base, so he rushed back immediately. However, he still had no idea what had happened.
"It's a problem on the Misty Planet."
The deputy said to Chen Lin, "Haven't we already established a temporary base on the Misty Planet? The base was destroyed last night, and we lost at least more than 1500 engineering robots there..."
"Were there any casualties?"
"Fortunately, no."
The deputy shook his head and said, "We have never sent anyone there. After the base was built, we have been using robots to maintain it."
After saying that, he tapped his hands a few times, and Chen Lin immediately saw the live shooting scenes beginning to appear on the table.
The base that had been repaired was now in complete ruins. Those huge buildings made of heteromorphic steel collapsed suddenly. The original external area had been almost cleared, and even those places where roads were built were destroyed. Chen Lin stared at it for a few seconds and felt that those things seemed to be crushed by some huge existence.
"What attacked the base?"
"It's a very large monster."
The deputy tapped the device again, and Chen Lin soon saw the images captured by the on-site surveillance device - the ground suddenly began to tremble, and a large number of combat-type intelligent machines had entered combat status and were ready for battle.
"The radar device at that time detected a large red area, and our staff thought there was something wrong with the equipment. Later we realized that it was not the equipment that was malfunctioning, but this huge monster."
The deputy added again, and Chen Lin kept staring at the screen. He soon saw a huge "foot" suddenly stretched out from the fog in the distance. This big foot was like an elephant's foot, but bigger and rougher, and of course more oppressive.
This behemoth trampled on the vacant area in front with just one foot, and trampled all the cement paved places in the area. Then a sharp sound was heard in the video. The sound was like a shrill flute, bombarding the eardrums of the deputy and Chen Lin, forcing both of them to cover their ears.
The battle immediately began, and countless combat-type intelligent machines fired directly at the huge body in the fog. Guns and ammunition flashing with various colors flew directly into the fog, but there was no subsequent explosion effect.
"And then something really outrageous happened."
The deputy patted his eardrums and said to Chen Lin: "There are creatures in the foggy world that can generate their own electromagnetic pulses!"
hum!
The huge creature in the fog let out a shock wave with a loud bang. Chen Lin was very familiar with the sound. This was the sound of a standard electromagnetic pulse bomb explosion!
The combat intelligent machines on the ground only carried out targeted reinforcement of the foggy world, enhancing the detection and anti-corrosion related devices. As a result, the original pulse-resistant armor was almost dismantled. As a result, after a shock wave, hundreds of combat intelligent machines on the scene directly crashed. Even the equipment they used for filming was disturbed and affected. The picture suddenly became blurred, and many pictures were even incomplete.
Fortunately, most of the equipment used in the base are high-level military devices, and some of the equipment can still work under the electromagnetic pulse, which allows Chen Lin to see the subsequent images.
The huge monster raised its foot again with a bang, and the next foot landed on the outer building of the fog base. The building made of alien steel seemed as fragile as glass at this time, and collapsed under its foot. As the huge force increased, the building was finally completely destroyed.
Chen Lin paused the video, looked at his assistant and asked, "Do you know the exact size of this thing?"
"It's at least 90 meters high. We initially suspect that the weight of this creature is over tons."
Chen Lin closed his eyes and rubbed his temples. This was the first time such a situation had occurred. However, to be honest, none of the affiliated planets of the Origin Star were completely stable.
Whether it is the Blue Sea Star, the Wood Spirit Star, the Desert Star or the Misty Planet, they are actually better.
"What do we do next?"
The deputy asked Chen Lin. He had already ordered the troops to block one side of the portal. The portal to the foggy world was opened again and the temporary base was destroyed, causing some monsters to even start attacking the portal. These monsters began to stir again as the fog eroded them.
"What to do? Start over again, of course!"
Chen Lin stood up and asked his deputy, "Where did the monster go after it attacked the base?"
"Just walked away..."
"In other words, this monster is most likely just passing by?" Chen Lin stared at his deputy and said, the deputy was slightly stunned, then nodded: "You are right, some researchers have also made similar speculations, the appearance of this monster may not be lured or deliberately attacking us, but just passing by, and the location of our temporary base happens to be on its movement route."
"How much was lost this time? Have you estimated it?"
"The loss is at least 200 billion. We have deployed a large number of high-precision equipment there. Many of the intelligent machines are expensive. This electromagnetic pulse directly caused all of these things to be scrapped. We also need to send intelligent machines to bring back all the damaged items."
Chen Lin nodded slightly and pulled out a stack of documents from the drawer. He searched through them for a while and pulled out two sheets.
"The problem is not serious. It is just an unavoidable accident during the exploration of an alien planet."
He picked up the pen on the table and wrote something on the document while speaking to his deputy: "Go to the outpost and tell them that we need some more of this equipment."
He signed his name on the document and handed it to his deputy, who saw that it was a special equipment application form with Chen Lin's name clearly written in the lower right corner.
"You don't need to worry about the things at Anyun Base. If the base on the other side of the portal is destroyed, it's destroyed. At worst, we can rebuild it."
Chen Lin's tone was calm, as if the situation this time was not a big deal at all: "This time we not only need to rebuild, but also expand the scale. We need to build a real steel fortress on the Misty Planet. Next time we encounter this kind of giant creature, we can also destroy it!"
The deputy was slightly stunned, and said to Chen Lin: "Manager, all our previous investment has gone down the drain..."
"You don't need to worry too much about money. I have enough liquid funds to invest, and the association will also support it."
Chen Lin waved his hand, and his deputy immediately nodded and walked out.
Chen Lin pressed the device beside him and said, "Assistant, call all the personnel responsible for the exploration of the Misty Planet at Anyun Base. I have new work arrangements."
Twenty minutes later, all personnel related to the exploration of the Misty Planet gathered in the conference room. Chen Lin arrived late at the scene. Everyone stood up quickly, with panic on their faces.
The loss they suffered this time was not small. The tens of billions of funds invested by the Misty Planet were all wasted at once. Although their responsibility was not the greatest, after seeing Chen Lin coming, a group of people were still worried that the general manager would vent his anger on them.
"Everyone, please take a seat. Don't be so nervous."
Chen Lin smiled. "I've asked the deputy director to go to the outpost to purchase replacements for the lost intelligent machines. This time, the focus is on what kind of equipment is needed. Next time, if we encounter something like this again, at least we won't be left staring blankly like we were this time."
Everyone was somewhat relieved of their tension, and Chen Lin continued, "What the deputy wants to buy back is not only the intelligent machines, but also a large number of heavy weapons and equipment. We will then be ready to use them on the city walls or fixed points, and if we find any traces of giant creatures, we will destroy them on the spot."
"I plan to redevelop the Misty Planet later. I won't talk about the initial investment, and I won't mention the losses. This time it's not your responsibility or Anyun Base's, but my personal responsibility."
Chen Lin showed a helpless expression on his face. "At the beginning, someone did suggest to me that we should set up enough fire support points on the opposite side, at least to increase the power of the artillery fire by one level. I did not agree at that time, but I just thought that the situation should be simpler. The creatures on the Misty Planet are at most some mutated flying monsters. Conventional weapons and equipment can destroy them, not to mention the large number of electromagnetic weapons in the hands of the intelligent machines."
"But the results now prove that my thinking at that time was wrong."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They had not expected Chen Lin to suddenly do this. After a moment of stunned silence, a group of people began to talk at once to make excuses for Chen Lin. The situation was indeed a special one. No one had expected the appearance of a huge monster, and the monster's ability to carry electromagnetic pulses was completely beyond their expectations.
If Chen Lin said that it was his personal responsibility, no one would agree.
After persuading them for a long time, Chen Lin finally waved his hand and said, "In that case, let's not talk about this anymore. I will make a simple loss report and submit it to the association in a few days. We will need to make some additional details about the specific situation at that time. Please report the losses of your respective departments to me in detail."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and the matter was immediately brought to a close.
Next, Chen Lin asked everyone to start re-planning the next round of base construction plans on the spot, according to his ideas to ensure safety and practicality as much as possible. The staff in the design base department were under great pressure at this time. Chen Lin's requirements were obviously a bit too weird. After the design was completed, it looked like an ancient castle.
“Hahaha, it feels a bit like defending a city.”
Chen Lin looked at the renderings in front of him and was a little amused. The staff of several departments looked at each other, and then one of them said, "The height covered by the fog is actually beyond our imagination. Mr. Chen's design can't stop many monsters. We still need to strengthen the firepower. The original building design is already very good."
"It makes sense..."
Chen Lin pursed his lips. He was actually a layman in this area. What he had just done was purely for fun. Fortunately, Chen Lin was not a person who insisted on his own ideas. Professional matters needed to be handled by professionals. He directly agreed to the proposal to build according to the original building.
The next thing was the design of the firepower points. Chen Lin had a lot to say on this point. Finally, he pulled over a troop personnel stationed at Anyun Base. After they came over, they directly designed the firepower points according to Chen Lin’s proposal to enhance the firepower points, and turned the entire new base of the Misty Planet into a heavily armed firepower fortress.
It's an extra-large one.
"The next step is to see if the deputy director can get new weapons from the association."
Chen Lin looked a little tired as he sat on the chair. He said to everyone, "The association has developed very rapidly in the past two years, and the weapons and equipment have been updated very quickly. In fact, if the technological weapons we have now are really used, the giant creature in the fog may not be enough to fight it. Some weapons can kill it directly with just one shot."
Everyone found it unbelievable, but Chen Lin said with a smile: "This time I even asked my deputy to apply for a plasma turret. That thing is the masterpiece of the pioneers on the Blue Sea Star. We can already manufacture it perfectly, but most of the time it is used on starships. If the application is successful, we can install this thing on the Misty Planet, and we don't have to worry about the safety of the base's periphery."
"No matter what kind of monster he is, if he dares to come, we will just fire a cannon and kill him instantly!" (End of this chapter)
