Chapter 1109 - Chaos
"I should have added a protective force field device earlier!"
Chen Fei looked at the deep ditch below the small flying ship with regret, and had to find a temporary place to stay.
Although the loss was not great, it still took a lot of time.
Just near this huge chasm, a large pile of metal materials were taken out from the "Space Imprint" with a crackling sound, and a new "sky curtain" was built again, with a diameter of still two hundred meters.
A batch of materials had just been recycled, and the "Space Brand" happened to be able to accommodate them all. Chen Fei made ten "sky curtain" bases of the same size, leaving only one. The other nine finished products were stored in the "Space Brand" as backup to avoid being affected again.
The battle between the two behemoths, which is still fighting a routine round-by-round battle between several planets in the star system, is not worthy of long-term human attention. The same strong head-on tactical routines are repeated over and over again, and there will be basically no changes. It is difficult to see the outcome in a short period of time. This battle will at least be calculated in years, and it would not be surprising even if it lasts for a hundred years.
The mission this time is to deploy multiple sets of astronomical telescopes on the outskirts of the star system to try to search for the nest of the "Sagari" civilization and confirm Chen Fei's guess.
It's just like catching rabbits by raking grass. If you catch one, it's luck. If you don't catch one, it doesn't matter. After all, it's a low-cost chance and you won't lose money either way.
What's more, I accidentally caught a "star snakehead" that came to my door, which was a direct profit.
Adam: Louis Langdon has a text message
When Chen Fei was about to open the "Star Gate" to return to Socotra Island on the Blue Planet, the artificial intelligence AI suddenly prompted the contact information of an important person.
The "Star Gate" opens, and we move from the Xia planet to the Blue Planet.
Chen Fei and others finally returned to Socotra Island safely.
Louis Langdon: Due to the civil war in the Federation, material supply is not smooth and many factories have been forced to reduce production. The recent supply of materials has been affected. We plan to move the production line to the First Sovereign in the near future for a period of three to six months. The production capacity cannot be guaranteed. In addition, Heseman Brown's supernatural skill "Small World" has been exposed, so please prepare early.
Attached along with the text message were more than a dozen supply lists, which indicated the planned and actual supply quantities. Many projects were affected, with hundreds of materials including elemental annihilation bombs being out of stock. Others could only provide 40%-80% of the supply.
Elemental annihilation bombs and some special materials are supplied exclusively by Louis Industries. There is no other alternative on Blue Star (except for the backup production line in the "Boundary Pearl" life space, which can provide a small amount of limited production capacity). Suppliers who entrust Louis Industries to purchase many other materials on their behalf have also been affected by the internal turmoil in the Federation.
Many factories and farms were razed to the ground in the war, and even the entire family of the bosses was killed, making it impossible to resume production.
The civil strife in the Federation still shows no signs of abating, and its impact is growing. The army, which does not have an absolute advantage in equipment, is even more powerless. What's more, this is a large-scale civil strife (war) that occurs only once every two hundred years. Arms dealers have taken the opportunity to sell their goods to the public and make a fortune. Every day is like a carnival, so the army is not willing to go all out to quell the strife. In fact, they are dragging their feet in various ways, leaving some ambitious people in the Federation with the will but not the strength. They can only sigh helplessly and watch the civil strife become out of control.
What's worse is that Europe, which was originally watching the fun, seemed to be in a state of chaos as well. Large-scale riots broke out in some cities. Homeless people and black people took to the streets for strolls, shopping for free, holding bonfire parties on the streets, and initializing infrastructure... The mass activities were not only diverse, but also very enjoyable.
However, the bulk sovereigns of Europe reacted relatively promptly. They immediately sent out troops to suppress the riots and impose martial law, using tear gas and water cannons, and forcibly covering each block. They used thundering means to cut the Gordian knot before this sudden riot spread and escalated. Casualties were inevitable, some innocent and some deserved it. There was nothing that could be done about it.
Although those bad signs were forcibly suppressed in a short period of time, the atmosphere of unrest still lingers within many European sovereigns, and people's hearts are unsettled. It is like a grassland in the dry season, with flames popping up from time to time and threatening to spread like wildfire at any time.
Only in Asia, like the dynasties for thousands of years, is the current first sovereignty in charge, so it is still like the reporting routine of the News Broadcast, which is ordinary every day and remains unchanged for a hundred years. The last five minutes are always about the people of foreign sovereigns being in dire straits. The citizens of the first sovereignty have long been accustomed to it. They seem to have no way to eat unless other sovereigns cause some trouble every day.
After returning to Socotra Island on Blue Star and reading the text message and the attachment, Chen Fei immediately called his golden thigh.
"Mr. Langdon, I'm a 'rookie'!"
After a moment, the call was connected and Louis Langdon's voice came through.
"Hello, 'Rookie', have you finished reading the text message?"
The boss' voice sounded a little tired. Louis Industrial Company is a big company, and it is not easy to migrate across sovereignty. It requires not only the transfer of production lines and other materials and personnel, but also coordination between sovereignty. Who would easily let go of a big taxpayer, especially the top chaebol? If you don't handle it well, you may lose your factory and the people.
Chen Fei asked tentatively: "You seem to be in big trouble?"
Factory relocation is no small matter, and it has reached the point where he has to leave. It is obvious that this boss must have encountered a big problem that was difficult to solve and was forced to make such a choice.
Louis Langdon was silent for a full ten seconds before speaking again.
"A congressman I supported was assassinated. He was my good friend, the kind we grew up with. We have been friends for 30 years, and we were very close. But the forensic diagnosis was suicide. In the Federation, suicide can be defined in many ways. I think you can understand that this is no longer my paradise, so I want to leave as soon as possible, take away as much as I can, and leave behind what I can't take with me."
"hiss……"
Chen Fei couldn't help but gasp.
The boss wants to escape by force, and the loss of his wealth is probably incalculable. Even if he can successfully transfer his assets to the First Sovereign in the end, the most optimistic estimate is that only nine-tenths of his assets will be lost.
The current situation in the Federation can almost be described as a time of chaos. What is in chaos is not only the world, but also the human heart. It is not just jackals in power, but demons and monsters are rampant. A big piece of fat meat like Louis Industries, once it loses the protection of the political power of Congress, will immediately become the big piece of fat meat coveted by many ambitious people, who can't wait to share it.
Having lost his political partner, Mr. Landon began to try to seek various kinds of assistance and re-establish his personal connections in Congress, but the results were not satisfactory. Eighteen rebel kings came to his door one after another, all wanting to get a piece of the pie, and even want to swallow up the entire Louis Industries. It was simply the federal version of fighting the local tyrants and dividing the land, except that the "land" was put into their own pockets, and there was no idea of equalizing the rich and the poor at all.
Migrating the industry to the first sovereignty was also a helpless move for him. It was difficult to leave his hometown, and a migration would inevitably cause great damage to his vitality. What's more, in the current passive situation, it would take three to five years at the shortest, and seven to eight years at the longest, to fully recover.
"Fortunately, I had foresight! Has your elemental annihilation weapons production line been established?"
Louis Langdon suddenly laughed.
As the exclusive product of Louis Industries, the Element Annihilation Bomb has almost reaped all the benefits of monopoly and is naturally the most coveted target.
He was glad that he had sent a backup R&D team to Chen Fei in advance. Even if the main unit stopped production and was unable to supply goods, the backup team would be able to establish a new production line in time to ensure that the goods would not be completely out of stock.
Louis Langdon wanted to fully support Chen Fei in fighting against the invasion of the "Sagari" civilization, but there were some people who just couldn't get over it and insisted on dragging him down. I don't know whether they were short-sighted or had ulterior motives.
As it stands, Louis Industries is in a precarious situation.
Chen Fei said: "Yes, it is in 'Atlan', but the production capacity is limited and there is no way to expand it further."
"I didn't expect that the S-class space-based esper had this skill. Is Atlan big enough? If possible, I would also like to bring a group of people and production lines in."
"Boundary Pearl" is the core secret of Chen Fei's small circle. Even the golden thigh Louis Langdon is unaware of it and is still confused by the smokescreen of Heseman Brown who took the blame. However, he thought of using "Atlan" to repair the plank road.
A completely closed city is not easily disturbed by the outside world. Although it is not very convenient to obtain supplies, it is an excellent place to concentrate on production.
Finally I replaced the eye-catching Lenovo 21-inch monitor with a Dell 27-inch 2K screen, which is much more comfortable for my eyes. They are both IPS panels, why is there such a big difference! Lenovo has terrible light leakage, while Dell has no disadvantages except being expensive. | People say that buying groceries in a fighter jet is nonsense, but now the cross-border shopping with the Su-57 is real!
