The First Evolution

After more than 10 seconds, Jason said calmly,

“It won’t be long before you see the red wasteland. Larray, follow the original plan, GO.”

After hearing this, the pilot said,

“Yes, sir!”

Then he pressed several buttons in succession and pulled down a handle. Immediately, he hatch opened and dropped a bomb.

After the bomb was dropped, there was a rumble from below, then flames rose up. Not only that, as the flames surged, it actually triggered a series of chain reactions.

Boom boom boom, boom, a series of deafening loud noises. A chain explosion occurred in this large area in an instant!

The explosions seemed to be caused by highly flammable materials such as gasoline bombs. Within a few seconds, an area of 6 square kilometers turned into a sea of raging flames. The flames reached a dozen meters high. The scene was spectacular.

Obviously, a bomb couldn’t achieve this effect.

The federal army should have dropped hundreds of special burn spider mines several times before, so there could be such a chain reaction.

The shuttle formation continued to hover over the sea of ​​​​fire. After about 20 minutes, the fire was extinguished. Some rocks even showed signs of melting, showing how high the temperature was.

After making sure that the temperature had dropped, the shuttle began to land slowly. The strong airflow from the engine blew away the ashes on the ground, revealing a bare red wasteland.

“GOGOGO!”

Officer Jason took a deep look at the people in the cabin, drew his gun, and shouted sternly

According to the previous plan, the logistics personnel had heavy tasks.

After landing, they had 8 hours to build 3 temporary strong bunkers, and they had to clear an open space of several thousand square meters.

Because the sky would turn dark after 8 hours. Those Red Barracuda Star Pirates or local ferocious creatures might assault. Therefore, the serious consequences of failing to build the bunkers might result in death, so they had to seize every second.

The tasks Fang Linyan and his team were responsible for were not easy either. He and his team had to build a communication station within 8 hours, and they also had to weld slots for external armor on the outer wall.

In this case, external armor could be added when necessary, and the standard communication station could also be transformed into a formidable firepower point.

However, this was only a secondary task. The main task was to build 2 armored bunkers at the commanding heights!

The standard frame of these bunkers was built with the latest titanium steel alloy. The thickness of the front protective ceramic armor plate was 2.7 centimeters, which had excellent protection against acid, fire, and physical attacks.

It could even withstand the bombardment of the Federation’s latest “Genocide” Tank in siege mode. It was built with the terrifying 188mm main cannon!

The bunkers would have 5 firing ports, which could accommodate 8 people for combat. At the same time, a Reaper automatic turret could be installed on the top of the bunker.

These 2 armored bunkers built on high ground could increase the survival probability of this group of people by more than 50%!

Speaking of which, Laget’s arrangement this time was finally not that bad. Although Fang Linyan didn’t possess any relevant certificate, Laget still arranged for him to be an “ordinary welder”, so Goat and Vulture worked directly as his assistants.

The pilot didn’t seem to want to stay in this damn place any longer, so he started unloading the cargo and swiftly finished his job.

There was even a small accident during loading and unloading – the stacked titanium steel alloy external armor collapsed, and there happened to be an unlucky guy next to it.

Each piece of titanium steel alloy external armor had a standard area of ​​1 square meter, a thickness of 2.7 centimeters, and a weight of more than 200 kilograms.

So the unlucky guy ended up with a broken thigh. He only stayed here for less than 10 minutes before he was sent back as a casualty.

Such an accident undoubtedly cast a shadow on the hearts of everyone. There was no doubt that this was not a good sign. Some people even began to envy the “lucky” guy whose leg was broken.

At least he would soon be able to return to the safe, warm and comfortable New Watchfort, enjoy the gentle service of the nurse, and during the period of recuperation, he would still be treated as if he was on duty and receive his salary.

Although these people who were left behind were in good health, they might turn into the feces of the swamp creatures by this time tomorrow…

In such a depressing atmosphere, Fang Linyan and his team accelerated their pace. Although they had extraordinary strength, they still acted in a very low-key manner. They did not compete for first place when working, but they just kept their performance at an average level to avoid getting reprimanded.

After working for a while, Jason was very concerned about the progress and went around to inspect from time to time.

This time, he brought a middle-aged man in his forties over to inspect the quality of the completed projects.

This middle-aged man was called Stassen. He could tell a problem with just a glance, obviously an expert.

Many problems were found along the way. Of course, Jason immediately scolded them and ordered them to be redone. Mr. Stassen was also able to point out some technical problems immediately, which enlightened everyone.

After checking on the work of Fang Linyan and his team, Stassen casually looked at the outer wall of the welded communication station. After taking a few steps, he turned back and took a closer look at a weld, and then suddenly said,

“Who did this weld?”

The remaining 3 welders immediately looked at Fang Linyan with gloating eyes. They were all typical blue-collar workers with thick arms and round waists.

Therefore, Fang Linyan, who appeared clean, silent and relatively thin, was obviously an outsider.

Everyone who had been called out by Stassen before was unlucky. One guy talked back and was immediately dragged away by Jason’s military police, hung up, and whipped 5 times.

It was a military whip made of steel wire. One whip would inflict a 2-finger wide blood mark. After the whips, this guy collapsed on the ground, half dead.

Fang Linyan was very confident in himself. Even though his previous welding was a casual operation, with his rich experience and abnormal talent of {Metal Touch}, he was definitely better than these guys.

They can pass, so how can there be mistakes in my work?

So he said,

“I did it.”

Stassen approached the weld, gently rubbed it with his hand, then nodded and said,

“I never expect to meet someone who knows cross welding here! Are you familiar with Engineer Arche?”

It turned out that where Fang Linyan had welded, diagonal cross patterns would appear on the weld, which looked very distinctive, so it was called the cross welding method.

This required special welding techniques. Even the welding materials needed to be modified to achieve the effect. It was highly difficult.

If the difficulty required for ordinary welding was 1, then the difficulty of the cross welding method was 3 or more.

This technique was learned from Engineer Ivan. Fang Linyan wanted to practice, so he used it in this task.

Fang Linyan said in a daze,

“Sorry Sir, I don’t know Engineer Arche.”

Stassen said in surprise,

“If you don’t know Arche, then where did you learn this?”

Fang Linyan said,

“Engineer Ivan taught me.”

Stassen was even more surprised,

“That bad temper Ivan taught you the cross welding method?”

Before answering, Fang Linyan looked around the surrounding environment and found that this damn place was indeed a bit spooky.

Even though it was burned by fire just a few hours ago, someone was bitten by a blood-sucking poisonous mite flying from a distance and grew an egg-sized pustule on his neck. He had fainted, suffered from coldness, and convulsed nonstop.

Judging from current progress, the outpost project has obviously fallen behind… We are all on the same boat now, so I shouldn’t hide my skill and act high profile. Maybe we can get preferential treatment if something happens.

After making up his mind, Fang Linyan shrugged and said with a smile,

“Yes, this is a long story. In fact, Engineer Ivan was the examiner who assessed. The content of the examination was to repair the ship under sail, but I did not have the relevant certificate…”

Fang Linyan recounted the ins and outs of the event. Finally, seeing Stassen’s face filled with disbelief, he took the broken gear token given to him by Engineer Ivan.

Stassen’s expression changed at the sight of the token. His disbelief expression eased a lot, then he said,

“Are you really a self-taught genius?”

Fang Linyan shrugged and said,

“Actions speak louder than words.”

Stassen laughed dumbly and said,

“You seem to be very confident in yourself.”

Fang Linyan said,

“Of course, but you have to get me an SCI first.”

Stassen snapped his fingers and said,

“No problem.”

Soon, an SCI was driven over and stopped in front of Fang Linyan.

After Fang Linyan got in, he found that it was the model he had operated before on the side of Engineer Ivan. He quickly got in, restarted it, entered the self-test program, and then waited until the personalized menu popped up.

TL: Will he unlock the hidden mission again?
