National development: I build a base on rock beasts

Chapter 79 Reflection After the Great War

In the living room on the first floor of the villa behind the Huoyan Beast, Duan Ming sat at the head, and the rest of the core members of the family formed a circle. They all had unconcealable sadness on their faces.

"Each group reports on the battle situation."

Feng Xing was the first to stand up, staring at the list in his hand, but did not speak for a long time. Duan Ming knew that the members of the battleship team must have suffered a lot of casualties.

No one urged them, and after Feng Xing calmed down a little, he opened his mouth and said.

"The power and kinetic energy systems of the two warships were destroyed, the weapons and ammunition of the warships were exhausted, 23 people were injured, and seven or seven people died."

Cangmian fell silent for a while, Duan Ming raised his hand, signaling Feng Xing to sit down.

"What about the pioneering base group?"

Everyone bowed their heads, and no one answered Duan Ming's question.

"I'm asking you about the development of the base group!"

When he repeated it for the second time, Duan Ming's tone was obviously slightly angry. Tang Yaqing stood up and walked to Duan Ming to sit down. She put her hand on Duan Ming's shoulder and whispered.

"The power systems of the twelve development bases are completely damaged. Wu Yong is seriously injured and is being rescued."

Duan Ming tightened his hands on his knees. The twelve pioneering bases, the twelve warriors of the Duan family, are his family wealth!
Looking up at Bai Xianglu, Bai Xianglu said without Duan Ming asking.

"All the weapons and ammunition on the Fire Rock Beast are exhausted, and the weapon control team slightly injured three people, and the injuries are controllable."

Compared with the previous two groups, this is good news.

Leaning back on the sofa, Duan Ming closed his eyes, and said softly: "Go and work, let me be alone."

After everyone looked at each other, they left the villa one after another. Tang Yaqing and Bai Xiang looked at Duan Ming worriedly.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired, just take a rest."

Hearing what Duan Ming said, the two women understood that they wanted to give Duan Ming a space to think alone, so they also turned and left the villa.

Duan Ming, who was leaning on the sofa, began to think about the sudden war in his heart.

Star beasts are not uncommon in various star fields in the universe, but such a large-scale group of star beasts is not common.

What is it that makes them stay apart and launch a surprise attack on themselves?
Thinking of this, Duan Ming thought of a person, maybe that person can answer this question for himself.

Opening the friend list, Duan Ming dialed a number.

"The other party is busy, do you need to leave a message?"

Duan Ming frowned slightly when the cold prompt tone synthesized by the system sounded. He hung up and dialed again.

Several times in a row, no one answered. Just when Duan Ming was about to give up, a request for a voice call came.

"Are you all right, boy!"

After the voice was connected, Duan Ming's heart warmed when he heard the other party's worried question.

"Professor Dugu, I'm fine."

For such a large-scale star beast group to actively raid a human base, he naturally asked the Earth Star Research Institute, and Duan Ming contacted Professor Dugu Er, who had helped him several times.

"How did you know I was under attack?"

"How do you know? The entire star field is in chaos now!"

Hearing Professor Duguer's answer, Duan Ming was taken aback. Could it be that he was not the only one who was attacked by the star beasts?

"Two hours ago, our research institute received more than a dozen reports. From the first domain to the sixth domain, a large-scale star beast group raided the development base. I wanted to contact you immediately, but The call signal has been unable to connect, I knew you should have encountered the same situation."

"Professor Dugu, what is going on?"

Dugu Er was silent for a moment.

"We don't have any clues yet, maybe it's just a coincidence that happened at the same time, or maybe..."

Dugu Er didn't continue talking about the latter words, and Duan Ming didn't press on.

"Will something like this happen again?"

This is what Duan Ming cares about now!
"Not for the time being. Although we don't know exactly how the star beasts appeared in the universe, the universe must also follow the law of energy conservation. This raid by the star beasts led to the death of a large number of star beasts. It will take time to reshape."

"I understand. If there is any news, please inform me as soon as possible, and let me prepare early."

After hanging up the voice call, Duan Ming sat on the sofa, thinking about another matter.

Although it was a sudden attack by a herd of star beasts this time, they couldn't have appeared out of thin air. The entire Seventh Domain had ground coalition forces and Fang's patrol spacecraft, so they didn't discover the situation in advance?
Someone has to be responsible for this matter, and in Duan Ming's view, the army and the party should bear the main responsibility!

With a cold face, Duan Ming dialed Captain Lin Dengwan's number. As soon as the call was connected, Lin Dengwan's extremely surprised voice came from the opposite side.

"Duan Ming? Are you still alive?"

No matter how you hear these words, you are somewhat disappointed, and Lin Dengwan obviously also noticed this.

"No, I mean, are you okay?"

"Thank you, Captain, for your concern, but should Jun and Fang explain this to my Duan family?"

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a moment, and when the voice rang again, it was already replaced by Gu Li, the principal.

"Duan Ming? I'm Senior High School Gu Li."

Duan Ming didn't speak, but was waiting for Gu Lizhong and Xiaoxiao's next words.

"What happened this time was too sudden. When we discovered the star beast group, they were already very close to your area, so we didn't have time to notify you."

Duan Ming was obviously not very satisfied with Gu Lizhong and Colonel Gu's explanation, so he still didn't talk to him.

"Knowing that you are fine, I am relieved. What is the result of the war between you and the star beasts? Are there any remaining star beasts fleeing?"

Duan Ming remained silent again, and after a long time, the voices of Gu Lizhong and the principal came over there for the third time.

"Hey! Presumably your Duan family must have suffered a lot this time. For this matter, our army will give you some compensation."

Duan Ming finally spoke up.

"I'll send you the list later."

After saying such a simple sentence, Duan Ming hung up the voice call.

Gu Lizhong and the colonel stayed there in a daze. Seeing this, Captain Lin Dengwan asked, "What did Duan Ming say?"

"He dared to speak to me in an orderly tone!"

Gu Lizhong and the principal shouted angrily at first, then frowned and said.

"However, I really didn't expect that the Duan family could survive the surprise attack of such a large group of star beasts. We still underestimated him. He must be very dissatisfied with us this time. No matter what list he sent, As long as it’s not too much, just satisfy him.”

After hanging up the call, Duan Ming stood up from the sofa and spoke to the family voice chat group.

"Each group sent me a list of irreparable weapons and construction equipment."
