Colonia Storm Tour

Chapter 122 Neutral Technology

-Curved Arm Islands·Frontline Island-

"Commander Shinononozuka, at 16:15:15 on March 12th, our troops deployed to Gegeari Island were attacked by forces known as Epsilon. The patrol forces and defense facilities responsible for the security of the southeast of the island were killed and destroyed. Moreover, many genetically mutated humans known as Berserkers appeared out of nowhere and attacked our forces. Then, a tall soldier wearing power armor led these Berserkers and archers, along with even larger power armor soldiers using some kind of cannon, to paralyze the power supply in the area by detonating oil drums and natural gas storage tanks. Then their tanks emerged from underground and began attacking our facilities, eliminating the defense forces and facilities around the Technology Center. They also sent agents to occupy and control the internal staff of the Technology Center. Our technological intelligence stored in the Technology Center was discovered and read. Subsequently, they attempted to access our overall technology database. Then, Commander Lin Haiyuan ordered the launch of tactical missiles to destroy the Technology Center and prevent further leaks. Afterwards, the tanks with fixed turrets burrowed underground and left. Our forces were unable to intercept them in time, and the Epsilon commando team also disappeared from the island."

Shinonono listened attentively to EVA's report and watched the video recorded by the combat control system. He watched carefully everything from Rahn's appearance to the natural gas power plant filled with oil drums and natural gas storage tanks. However, after the defense forces at the technology center were attacked by Tyrant Tanks and occupied by engineers and infiltrators brought by burrowing troop carriers, he turned to look at Lin Haiyuan.

"I never expected that even after so many reminders and it was written into the operational regulations, some people still left the oil drums and natural gas tanks lying around instead of storing them in the warehouse. Should I be glad that they didn't turn the entire front-line base into a wheeled base, allowing Epsilon to carry out a fire attack and blow all these people up before they regretted not storing the oil drums properly in the first place?"

Shinononozuka pressed the stop button and calmly complained about her subordinates who had unknowingly become victims of the wheeled base and were reaping what they sowed.

"The guy in charge of the wheeled base has been sent to a military court. Now you can see Rahn on the giant monitor, right? They've moved this humanoid killing machine from headquarters to this killing battlefield. Next, Yuri can create a scale to give us a surprise. Rahn is no problem, to be honest."

Lin Hai had plenty of ways to take down Rahn, from sniper squads to Black Hawk helicopters' freezing missile attacks. These were all good methods to deal with him. This guy's biggest advantage was his physical body, powered armor, and the Earth Nova orbital gun in his hand. Apart from that, his high intelligence was masked by his destructive desires. None of these would give Rahn any abnormal defensive capabilities. The real threat was Libra, who possessed a mental power so strong that it was almost impossible to control. Although her mental abilities could not be used to control people's minds, guiding projectile trajectories and generating shields and anti-gravity fields were the biggest problems.

Guiding the trajectory of projectiles can make her attacks exceptionally tricky; the shield formed by her psychic energy can help her block most attacks; the anti-gravity field can effectively overturn vehicles that approach her and isolate attacks; the anti-gravity field can also overturn bullets, shells, and bombs; if Libra's psychic power is more objective than imagined, then she may be able to generate a psychic shield like Omega Yuriko during the uprising, capable of radiating any attack, even intangible beams of light, which can be reflected back to the attacker.

"Once he faces you two, he'll be beaten to a pulp. If he and Seye clash, Rahn's purely genetically modified body is no match for the power of psionic energy. And Libra doesn't have the ability to take on two at once either. She'll be thrown to the ground with a 'ha!' and become a giant exploding dart."

Shinonono no Tsukasa didn't take Libra and Rahn's strength seriously. They weren't invincible. Killing them would only require a bit of luck. It just so happened that she kicked Lin Haiyuan and Iroha, two tough opponents, so that they could capture and kill them quickly instead of playing hide-and-seek and chasing them around. Making them engage in guerrilla warfare would be quite annoying.

"We've found an opportunity to set a trap and capture them. They're definitely not a problem. But judging from Yuri's actions, she's probably feeling uneasy seeing all the new gadgets you've come up with. She wants to investigate how many new toys we have that we haven't brought to the forefront yet, so their intelligence agents can see them."

Lin Haiyuan thought about it for a moment. In fact, their new units had already been deployed to the battlefield. Even if Epsilon invaded their technology center to see what units were being trained and used, they wouldn't be able to find the Crystal Tower and Protoss technology. Currently, the technology data in this area was still stored on Frontline Island and had not been shared with other places. Unless Epsilon invaded Frontline Island and searched extensively, they would have no way to find it.

"If they saw that we were planning to build Void Radiance Ships and Stormships, they might be so frightened that they would want to immediately launch Death Hand intercontinental ballistic missiles to wipe us out, or try to send a large force to seize the research facilities and crystal towers. However, if we have to talk about new toys... at present, only the Neutral Technology Data Core has been repaired, allowing us to build Neutral Technology Facilities."

As she spoke, Shinonono sat down on Lin Haiyuan's lap, lying in his arms in a very comfortable and pleasant position.

Besides the Allied, Soviet, Epsilon, and Foehn armory data cores, there's also a neutral technology data core that's not particularly useful. This data core stores blueprints for five types of neutral technology defense towers and other neutral technology facilities. It looks great, but most of its uses are prioritized. The technology heavy machine gun tower only has an advantage in height. The technology turret is not much different from the Allied fixed-point turret. The technology cannon position is an enhanced version of the fixed-point turret and also consumes electricity. The technology anti-air missile is a neutral version of the Patriot missile launcher. The technology anti-air position is just a large Patriot missile launcher. The technology radiation tower is really too silly as a defense tower, as its radiation range is not significant enough. The technology heavy artillery's power and range are its highlights.

The Tech Concrete Fortress and Tech Bunker need no further explanation; these types of buildings can only be fully utilized in specific battles.

Aside from the high-tech heavy machine gun turrets and high-tech heavy artillery that can fire through walls and have advantages in range and power, other technological defense towers are dispensable. Lin Haiyuan, who used the Burning Wind Rebel Army's armory in the past, considered them useless and of limited value, so he never wanted to build these neutral technological defense facilities.

As for the Tech Hospital/Field Hospital, Tech Mechanics Shop, Tech Infantry Academy, Tech Heavy Machinery Factory, Tech Military Dock, Tech Aviation Academy, and Tech Defense Bureau, the first three do not provide infantry and vehicles with the same level of combat treatment and repair as in the game. The latter five have very limited uses. They can provide additional training for infantry and additional equipment for vehicles, aircraft, and defensive facilities on their own, so why build more of these? Therefore, they will not be built directly due to their limited usefulness.

The Tech Building Maintenance Center requires a professional building maintenance and repair team to operate. The Tech Reinforcement Platform can only airdrop reinforcement units if there is a so-called rear area. The Secret Tech Lab is completely useless, as it already has the special units it wants. The Tech Supply Bunker also needs to be pre-deployed with supplies inside. The Tech Bank and Tech Ore Refinery are self-explanatory. If you think about it carefully, there aren't many neutral Tech buildings that actually have a significant role: Tech Oil Well, Tech Expansion Outpost, Tech Airport, Tech Power Plant, Tech Nuclear Power Plant, Tech Satellite Intrusion Center, and Tech Missile Silo.

Chapter 123 Not Necessarily Useless

Before the Colonia Flanking Air Base in Lin Haiyuan was destroyed, most of the neutral technology buildings had not been built because of their limited uses. However, now that the Colonia Flanking Air Base has been lost, they are unable to use the Burning Wind technology and can only start using the incomplete Pacific Front technology from Shinonono no Tsukasa. At this time, some neutral technology buildings have begun to show their usefulness again.

In the past, when they had the virtual reality arena built with virtual reality technology provided by the Colonia Flanking Air Base, the additional training provided by the Infantry Academy did not utilize the virtual arena. Soldiers wearing power armor were already equipped with all the equipment they could use. Now, the Tech Infantry Academy can do its best to provide their soldiers with additional training and equipment to compensate for the lack of realistic training brought by the absence of the virtual arena. As for vehicles, the Colonia Flanking Air Base had multiple pre-stored high-end configuration upgrades and nanomaterials that could make vehicles perform better than before. However, they no longer have the technical support of the Colonia Flanking Air Base and are using vehicles built with non-nanomaterials. Now, the Tech Heavy Machinery Factory can provide additional equipment for their vehicles, which can be put to good use to enhance their combat capabilities. Furthermore, after losing the air base on the flank of Colonia, they could no longer obtain large numbers of drones to organize air offensives, nor did they have multiple pre-stored, uneconomical, and unprofitable high-end configuration upgrade plans, nanomaterials for building, and virtual arena training. Therefore, they needed the Aeronautical Academy to provide their air force units with additional equipment and conduct intensive pilot training to enhance their air force to the best of their ability. The same applies to the Military Dock.

The Technology Defense Agency can also provide additional equipment for defensive facilities made of non-nanomaterials to enhance their combat performance. However, fixed defensive facilities are still easily destroyed by siege artillery. For example, for the machine gunner inside the machine gun bunker, it is his bunker that is reinforced with additional materials, and his Hellhound heavy machine gun is equipped with more powerful AP machine gun rounds to cause more damage.

In the past, they were still using the technology of the Burning Wind Rebels, and they also had a nano armor generator to add a nano coating to buildings to enhance their defense.

Tech hospitals and tech field hospitals can provide better treatment facilities for wounded infantry. Military medics are more about saving your life when you are wounded on the battlefield so that you can be transported to the rear for treatment. Tech repair workshops can repair damaged vehicles and warships when there is no engineer + longsword infantry armor repair combination. Tech military docks with cranes are only responsible for adding extra equipment to naval warships and do not have the ability to repair damaged ships.

Tech power plants can be used to provide electricity to villages and towns. Military bases can also use tech power plants if they need backup power facilities. Tech nuclear power plants, as buildings with extremely high power output, need no further explanation. Although there is a risk of a small-scale nuclear explosion if they are destroyed, like tech power plants, they will not be affected by the parasitic gravity of invading UFOs and will not have their power absorbed.

The specialized construction and maintenance teams required for the Tech Building Maintenance Center can be provided even without nano-construction capabilities to keep it operational. Tech Expansion Outposts can also serve as forward repair yards to repair damaged vehicles and provide construction support for construction drones, allowing them to deploy construction drones in the vicinity of the Tech Expansion Outposts.

Technological drilling can be used on a large scale as an efficient and easy-to-control drilling facility. As for offshore drilling, it is not within the scope of neutral technology. Since the three-wheeled vehicle did not consider allowing engineers to swim and occupy buildings located on the water, there is no offshore drilling. Therefore, all technological military docks are on land.

The Tech Satellite Intrusion Center is rather strange. Theoretically, it allows the commander to connect to a new global positioning satellite network to achieve the effect of displaying the entire battlefield view.

Instead of hacking into the enemy's satellite positioning system to gain battlefield visibility of the enemy/everyone, the Tech Satellite Intrusion Center may be used as a building to infiltrate the enemy's communication systems.

As for the Tech Reinforcement Platform and Tech Airport, the scheduled reinforcements from the Tech Reinforcement Platform and the paratrooper calls from the Tech Airport cannot be as free as in the game. However, the Tech Airport can indeed park fighter jets and replenish their ammunition and perform maintenance. The Tech Reinforcement Platform itself can also serve as an airborne beacon.

The ability of high-explosive tactical missile silos to launch powerful missiles to bombard a region can effectively supplement long-range firepower.

As for technological defense facilities, the Tech Concrete Bunker and Tech Concrete Fortress provide powerful defensive firepower, offering maximum protection for infantry and unleashing fierce and unrestricted firepower against enemy forces. The Tech Heavy Machine Gun can be built in areas protected by high walls to engage enemy units below at minimum range, compensating for the disadvantage of the Machine Gun Bunker's inability to fire through walls. The Tech Cannon Position provides more powerful and longer-range anti-armor firepower, although it consumes electricity. As for the Tech Anti-Air Missile and Tech Anti-Air Position, they are good choices to supplement the anti-air defense network of the Skylight Anti-Air Gun and Patriot Missile. The Tech Heavy Artillery is more practical than the Allied Giant Cannon. As for the Tech Radiation Tower, it really doesn't have any particularly good uses.

However, neutral technology buildings cannot be directly constructed, which is true for commanders who bring MCVs into battle. But that's a game setting for balance and fun. As long as the MCV, along with the relevant blueprints and modular construction materials, can still be deployed to the battlefield, Lin Haiyuan and Shinonono Tsukasa don't want things to be that simple.

After all, neutral technology buildings can be used by both allies and enemies, so the construction of any technology building requires approval from the rear to prevent commanders from building neutral technology buildings at will and giving the elusive Epsilon an opportunity to exploit them. This is controlled through data links and permissions.

"However, those neutral technology buildings only add icing on the cake and are far from being able to reverse our disadvantage when facing Epsilon."

Lin Haiyuan also reached out and put his arm around her waist, casually placing his hand on her abdomen, his expression still tightly furrowed.

"The data core repair of the Allied coalition's arsenal is progressing smoothly. Currently, the data from the Mercury satellite network used by the United States is being restored. Once completed, we can choose to deploy the Mercury satellite network to carry out laser strikes, giving us an advantage in future battles. This is because we can choose to overload the output power of the Mercury satellite network, just like when the European Union and the Pacific Front joined forces to blow up the Eiffel Tower. However, this will inevitably lead to some satellites being damaged due to overload firing."

Shinonono Tsukasa knew the effectiveness of the Mercury satellite network's single laser strike, but it was so ineffective that it could not even destroy light vehicles, only severely damage them. Only the Athena Cannon could provide more precise strike coordinates, allowing the laser strike energy to be more concentrated, so as to effectively kill units or buildings.

Chapter 124 US Military Intentions

"Besides mind beacons or mind control amplifiers, there's nothing else worth using the Mercury satellite network for overloading. The US has other things besides the Mercury satellite network. The Abrams tank is of limited use to us. It's better to wait until the Allied Forces data core has fixed the data on the European Union's arsenal before building the Paladin tank."

Lin Haiyuan knew that the Abrams tank was very useful in the game, but for them, whose main combat environment was between the islands, amphibious tanks were the most convenient for maneuverability. Even though the Abrams tank had good mobility, its inability to operate across the ocean still limited its combat capabilities. As for the Bulldog light tank? What use was such a thing? Was it just a joke on the battlefield?

"The Stryker infantry fighting vehicle is still usable, and its design is also suitable for being airdropped by transport aircraft. The Skyfire anti-aircraft tank and the Blizzard tank have overlapping roles, but they are still valuable as professional anti-aircraft units. As for the Athena cannon... I really don't know what good combat situation it would be used in. It's not like we don't have siege artillery."

Shinononozuka has repaired the data on the Pacific Front in the Allied Forces' Armory Data Core. Now, their incomplete Pacific Front has regained the Hailstorm Siege Platform. However, with the Peacemaker Artillery in hand, the Hailstorm Siege Platform is neither useful nor worth discarding. Most importantly, they can retrain the Reversal Warriors and Tomokawa Norio, or build the Garuda Power Armor. The role of the Reversal Warriors is self-evident, and the Garuda Power Armor is Tomokawa Norio's equipment. Whoever can master it will be the next Tomokawa Norio.

Since the cryogenic helicopter is a product of Jinchuan Industry and can also be built by the Allied T3 unit, it naturally saves her the trouble of repeatedly researching and developing cryogenic helicopters. It also provides more intuitive and effective research data on the weapons of the cryogenic legion soldiers. If there is nothing else to do to focus on the cryogenic legion soldiers, then the cryogenic legion soldiers with switchable attack modes will soon appear.

"The Athena Cannon is linked to the Mercury Satellite Network. The Athena Cannon can only be deployed if the Mercury Satellite Network is successful. We can deploy some Skyfire anti-aircraft tanks. As for the Warhawk helicopters, we still need to consider them. Let's put the Stormbringers aside, since they only have speed and no damage. We think the equipment of the US riot control forces is worth using. Also, there's the prototype laser rifle that Tanya has. If we can train such powerful agents to use it, or even if I use it myself, that would be great. The range of the kinetic blade is a problem."

Lin Haiyuan was not satisfied with the seemingly high-tech Warhawk helicopter, because its only armament consisted of a Nova Heavy Laser Cannon mounted on the nose and target locks mounted on the two short wings. There were no other weapons. The laser cannon's power and range were limited, and although its rate of fire was good, it was too slow to cause damage. It was not as effective as the Wolfhound or Marauder helicopters, which at least had the effective traditional combination of machine guns, cannons, missiles, and flamethrower bombs.

"The Warhawk helicopter is a bit of a gimmick, but right now we want an air support force that can last longer than the Black Hawk. Besides cryogenic helicopters and rocket pilots, the Warhawk helicopter is the only option."

Shinononozuka, like Hayashi Kaihara, was not optimistic about the firepower of the Warhawk helicopter. However, as an armed helicopter, the Warhawk helicopter still had advantages over rocket infantry and cryogenic helicopters. At the very least, the Warhawk helicopter was capable of taking down targets on its own, while the cryogenic helicopter only had the ability to freeze enemy targets into ice blocks and had no direct killing capability. The limited fuel tank capacity of the rocket jetpacks of rocket infantry also prevented them from fighting for long periods of time, and they were also too vulnerable when facing enemy air forces.

"Let's put the Warhawk helicopters on hold for now. Their armament is really hard to accept. I doubt they'll be shot down by enemy air defenses before they can destroy the enemy. And there's not much to say about the American technology. The European Union's technology is the most useful for us."

Lin Haiyuan had already deeply realized in the game that units like the Warhawk helicopter are limited in their damage output when attacking a single target without group fire. As for the target locator reducing the target's defense by 20%, that's just a game setting. In reality, it only makes it easier to find the target and attack. The same applies to the target locking provided by the Mercury satellite system terminal.

"Then I won't go into too much detail about the unique technologies of the United States and the European Union. Let's talk about the Colonia flank air base that you're concerned about. Given that we've lost the Foehn technology, it's impossible to rebuild the Colonia flank air base. We can concentrate most of our resources and strength to create the Paradox Engine, but for the crucial Sigma Tuner, we need to fully restore the European Union's data in the data core before we can rebuild the Sigma Tuner."

It's not feasible for Shinonono no Tsukasa to lead the construction of a Colonia flank air base, but rebuilding a Paradox Engine isn't an impossible dream. At least in terms of materials science, it won't face the predicament of ordinary materials not achieving the same effect as nanomaterials. However, building such a magnificent ship would still require a huge investment of resources. The European Union poured all its resources into building the Paradox Engine. Although the original design data can reduce the extra expenses caused by going astray, the cost would still be considerable. Moreover, the resources are now controlled not by them, but by Li Xiangyang. If Li Xiangyang and Kant disagree, rebuilding the Paradox Engine won't be easy; it will certainly take a long time.

Fortunately, the threat of Epsilon and the recent military operation on Gegeyari Island have made Li Xiangyang and Kang De realize the danger and insidiousness of Epsilon. The combination of wormhole teleportation and burrowing attacks gives them the ability to break through the blockade of the fleet and land forces and launch rapid and relentless attacks from their core areas and weak points. Therefore, they have stepped up their investment in the military construction of the Azure Front and recruited more soldiers from the system to join the army. As for the demi-humans in this world, although they are all quite physically fit, their physiological structure is different from that of humans, which requires many individual military equipment to be modified. Providing special military supplies for these demi-human soldiers is not a small expense. Therefore, these demi-human soldiers are usually not recruited into regular combat units. Instead, they undergo more rigorous testing to determine whether they can be recruited into special forces or pilots. Becoming a special forces soldier or pilot can better utilize their physical advantages. If they are deployed in large-scale operations, their physical advantages cannot be utilized and they may be easily sacrificed. After all, demi-humans are not a rare species in this world. They are as numerous as humans on Earth.

Chapter 125 Mass-Energy Technology

"By the way, our expeditionary fleet has already taken down the Island of the Gazing Ones with the orcs and Russians. How's the mass-energy conversion technology from the mass extraction wells and energy extraction wells coming along? If we can get our hands on it, we won't be dependent on Li Xiangyang and Kangde for resources, and we can survive independently if anything unexpected happens."

Lin Haiyuan also remembered the mass-energy extraction and conversion technology that he was most concerned about. If they wanted to reduce the resource consumption in building the Paradox Engine, then the Supreme Commander's mass-energy conversion and extraction technology was a must. Now they had a neutral technology nuclear power plant that they could build, so they didn't have to worry about not having enough energy to support the mass-energy conversion for the time being.

"Our engineers and the orcish tech buddies can only use their mass extraction wells and energy extraction wells as usual. Reverse engineering is impossible right now. Although the Alliance of Eternal Revelation did not reveal the ACU, it is still something made with nanotechnology using nano-spray guns. I highly doubt that even if we obtained mass-energy conversion technology without nanotechnology, it would be inefficient or have no effect at all due to the lack of usable materials."

As a technician, Shinononozuka clearly understands the difference between using nanotechnology and not using nanotechnology in building a facility that utilizes advanced technology.

"As expected, nanomaterials and nanotechnology are insurmountable obstacles. We have had nanomaterials and nanotechnology in the past, so it wasn't a problem. Now, let's borrow the nanotechnology of the Eternal Revelation Alliance. It will be enough to build our own mass extraction wells and energy extraction wells. After the data core of our Burning Wind Resistance Army's armory is repaired, we will use our nanomaterials technology to build mass extraction wells and energy extraction wells. The Supreme Commander's nanotechnology can continue to exist as research data and samples."

Lin Haiyuan's military equipment could not possibly be based on the Supreme Commander's Eternal Revelation Alliance, so it is only natural that the Supreme Commander's nanotechnology was abandoned for data storage.

"Hopefully we have enough time. At this point... according to the battle plan we agreed upon with the Orcs and Russians, the fleet should be ready to set off to invade Seraphim again. However, the Orcs and Russians seem to have been hurt badly in the first naval battle and are asking us to wait three days for their troops to replenish before launching an attack on the Communication Bay region of the Eternal Revelation Alliance."

Shinonono thought that since they were asking for three days to allow the army to replenish its forces, then his side would also have to replenish the warp forces of the Winter Crown Expeditionary Fleet, which had suffered some losses.

"It seems that Seye and I will be busy again. We need to send warp reinforcements to their side. If we don't have warp gates, stargates, and fleet navigation marks, we really won't have a moment's peace."

Lin Haiyuan covered his forehead with his hand and then rested his chin on her shoulder, making a weak and feeble sound.

"Don't worry, I'll let you off the hook tonight and not let you overwork yourself. That way you'll have enough energy to guide your psionic warp tomorrow. Is that alright?"

As she spoke, Shinonono got off his lap, turned around, and looked at Lin Haiyuan, who was slumped in the chair with a grin.

"If you really don't want me to work hard, can't you offer the option of sleeping together instead of doing it? If not, I'll still end up needing social security anyway."

Lin Haiyuan smiled helplessly, covered his eyes, and waved his right hand at her. He knew that not letting him work hard only meant not letting him continue his social security contributions; he would still have to pay social security as required.

"There really isn't such an option. As for the other me, it's really easy to get addicted to that kind of thing. If I don't do it once a day, I feel empty and something is missing. I don't have much motivation for research and development."

Shinononozuka shrugged at him, indicating that it was impossible not to do it.

"You need to do those kinds of things to have the motivation to research and develop. Your persona has been completely destroyed. Aren't you just a succubus in a different skin? You really should do less of this kind of thing, not only for my health, but also because those ambiguous things are easily detected by the mind. If you don't want to embarrass Seye, or for my daughter who is about to achieve mental power to notice, you should restrain yourself."

Lin Haiyuan knew that these kinds of fun and romantic things were easily detected by women with a more acute sense of smell and perception, especially when mental power amplified a person's senses...

"That's a problem, but we can just do some odor removal after each time we do this kind of thing, and the smell won't be an issue."

Shinonono Tsukasa believed that Hayashi Kaigen wouldn't reveal his true thoughts, because he knew what he should and shouldn't be thinking at any given time.

"Anyway, I don't have the right to refuse, do I? Let's not talk about that now. The EVA system just notified us that Li Xiangyang and Kang De have requested to hold a meeting on Azure Island regarding the Epsilon attack on Gegeyari Island, to discuss how to better defend against the Epsilon threat. We should take the Thousand Horse helicopter now, or we might be late."

As he spoke, Lin Haiyuan quickly got up from his office chair, stretched his limbs, and then walked towards the metal door of the command room.

"A single burrowing attack and genetic mutation have scared them? Do they think their backside and lair will soon suffer the same attack?"

Shinononozuka didn't find the detectable burrowing raids and genetic mutations scary at all. Their sensors were perfectly capable of detecting the Tyrant Tanks and burrowing troop carriers moving underground. Their attempt to launch a burrowing raid was impossible from the start; the raid would only turn into a well-known assault.

"Very likely. After all, our intelligence work can't be flawless. It's normal for them to worry about being targeted by decapitation tactics. To be honest, even I'm a little worried myself."

Lin Haiyuan knew that no secret could be kept forever; all they could do was delay the leak of information as much as possible.

"You, a psychic, are afraid of burrowing and ambushing? Those attackers would probably become your puppets the moment they got close."

Shinonono believes that in terms of mental power, only Yuri himself and Maron can rival Lin Haiyuan.

“No, I’m worried about you. Your information has already been leaked, while mine hasn’t. Facing the burrowing attack, you, like their Rahn, have no means of protection other than physical strength. If their Tyrant Tanks and Banelings attack together, you might be swallowed up before you can even react. You are absolutely worth the price they pay to assassinate you.”

Lin Haiyuan knew that this person had become Shinonono no Tsukasa, and that he was still very vulnerable when facing the earth-burrowing attack that was meant to kill him.

Chapter 126 The Meeting Room (Part 1)

"I'm not afraid of Tyrant Tanks; I can dismantle one with my bare hands. But I can't fight the Venomous Lizard with my fists and feet; I can only run away. However, with the personal plasma shield generator, I still have a way to leave the ambush area before the Venomous Lizard destroys my plasma shield."

As Shinononozuka spoke, she and Lin Haiyuan walked out of the command room. The door of the command room closed automatically, and then the two of them went to the helicopter landing pad and boarded the Senrima helicopter to Azure Island.

A little over ten minutes later, Lin Haiyuan and Shinonono Tsukasa arrived at the conference room on Azure Island, while Li Xiangyang and Kang De were already seated in their seats with their secretary ships.

(Hmm, they don't look too good. They must be worried about the burrowing attack and genetic mutation,) Lin Haiyuan said to Shinonono Tsukasa via telepathy.

(If they were timid, they would be ashen-faced or trembling with fear, but they were all quite brave), Shinonono thought to herself, Lin Haiyuan could read her thoughts.

"I was planning to do some research and development work, but they called us here for a meeting... because of the Epsilon attack on Gegeari Island, right?"

Shinononozuka didn't mince words and spoke her mind directly. In any case, there weren't many reservations between them, the transmigrators and the ship girls. Lin Haiyuan, wearing Altaïr armor, sat silently next to her.

(Looks like they already know, then there's no need to say anything more. I don't want my supporters and ship girls to become those kinds of monsters; getting their butts kicked will leave them with psychological trauma.)

"Yes, that's why I called you two here for this meeting. Is there any way to stop Epsilon from launching a burrowing attack? And what about their genetically modified weapons?"
