A list of the top ten main characters: Ye Wenjie from the Three-Body Problem at the beginning.

"I'm still busy here."

"Isn't there any other way?" Su Mu asked, frowning. "The Northern Hemisphere is the center of economic, military, and scientific research. There should be machines there that can remotely operate near-Earth orbit equipment."

Those others weren't too bad, as they weren't very large. But this base is different; it's extremely large, including hangars capable of docking spaceships. If it were to crash into Shuris City, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Then now we can only..." Su Mu asked softly.

"That's right, now the only option is to send people there to deal with that base manually."

"Then, what about the battle here?" Princess Leia said impatiently. "Anyway, one more or one less of you won't make a difference. Your main objective right now is to get to the Euroha satellite orbital base immediately. That's the most important thing, otherwise we're all doomed."

After saying that, Leia immediately hung up the call.

Su Mu stared at the disconnected communicator, remaining lost in thought for a long time.

After shaking his head, he picked up the communicator and said, "Zhang Feiyan, Osley, you two come to the bridge of the 'Qin Zhan' right now."

After saying that, he walked toward the bridge.

Upon entering the bridge, one could see the staff busily preparing.

"Cough cough."

Su Mu cleared his throat and said, "Except for Captain Lin Kai, all of you can go out for a bit."

Upon hearing this, the other staff members immediately put down what they were doing and all walked out of the bridge.

Captain Lin Kai looked at Su Mu and asked, "What's wrong, sir?" Su Mu waved his hand and replied, "Don't rush, let's talk about it after Zhang Feiyan and Osley arrive."

Before long, Zhang Feiyan and Osley arrived at the bridge.

After glancing at the other three people present, Su Mu asked, "Has the situation changed in the subsequent battle?"

"What's wrong, sir?" Zhang Feiyan asked. "Has something changed in the special operations team or on the main battlefield?"

.....

Su Mu replied, "The personnel deployed by the special operations team remain unchanged. You can see that the fact that I didn't call Simon over is good proof of that."

"Then why do you say the situation has changed?" Zhang Feiyan asked, puzzled.

Su Mu looked at Zhang Feiyan and Osley and asked, "Does either of you know anything about the Euroja satellite orbital base?" Zhang Feiyan immediately replied:

"I don't know about that. All I know is that the Euroha satellite orbital base was left behind by the regular army of a major power before they withdrew from Shuris City. It was originally intended to protect Shuris City in outer space, but I've never been there."

Osley said in a deep voice, "I know this base very well. I was involved in its construction."

He then asked, "What's wrong with this base, sir?"

Chapter 234 Dangerous Things

Su Mu replied in a deep voice, "I just received intelligence that this base is in danger of crashing into Xiulis City. They have ordered me to go to the Northern Hemisphere immediately to resolve the situation."

“What?” Osley exclaimed. “That’s impossible. I was involved in the construction of this base, so I know very well that, theoretically, this base can still operate for another 50 years.”

Furthermore, the base is maintained regularly by the Yorhaktapur forces left behind by major powers, ensuring its continued operation for another 50 years. It's impossible for "550" to crash so quickly.

Su Mu looked at him and said, "I also want to know why it crashed. I only received this news not long ago, and I came to ask you. You know, with that thing's size, who knows what would happen if it crashed in Xiulis City."

"Phew." After exhaling, Osley said to Su Mu, "In that case, please take me with you on your trip to the Euroha Satellite Orbital Base, sir. I need to check on that place."

"Ah."

Su Mu nodded and said, "Of course, I'll take you with me later."

He then looked at Zhang Feiyan and said, "Academician Zhang Feiyan, do I trust you to win this battle?" Zhang Feiyan clasped her hands in front of her chest and said, "Please rest assured, sir, this battle will be absolutely no problem."

Zhang Feiyan then whispered to Su Mu, "Have you decided who you'll go with? If you take too many elite troops with you, then I might not be able to defeat the Abyss troops on the front lines."

"Our troop strength was already far less than theirs, and if our elite troops are withdrawn, I'm afraid we won't be able to replenish our fighting strength."

Su Mu replied in a deep voice, "For this operation, I will only take An Yan and Yu Qiren from my department, along with Academician Osley. The rest will be under your command. Don't let us down."

"Yes, my lord."

Osley, who had been silent until Su Mu and the others finished speaking, immediately asked, "Sir, isn't it too dangerous for you to take so few people?"

"What's wrong?" Su Mu asked curiously when he heard Osley say that. "Is there anything dangerous over there?"

"Since the Euroha satellite orbital base is in danger of crashing into Shuris City, there should be Abyss Force members remaining inside the orbital base. Isn't it a bit unsafe for just the four of us? Should we bring more people with us?"

Hearing what Osley said, Zhang Feiyan also realized what was happening and said to Su Mu, "Yes, it's too dangerous. If there are any Abyss troops over there, it's too dangerous for you with only so many people around."

"It's fine."

Su Mu advised, "This number of people is enough. Besides, I am not a weak nobleman. I can fight."

After finishing speaking, Su Mu asked Captain Lin Kai, "Captain Lin Kai, can you take us to the Euroja satellite orbital base later?" Captain Lin Kai looked at Su Mu and replied, "Of course, no problem, sir."

"In that case," Su Mu clapped his hands and said to the three people in front of him, "If you have no questions, let's get started."

"Yes." After saying that, Su Mu, Zhang Feiyan, and Osley walked out of the bridge and left the 'Qin Zhan' ship.

Captain Lin Kai smiled as he watched the three of them walk away, then said into the communicator, "Everyone come in and get back to work."

After stepping out of the 'Qin Zhan' ship, Su Mu arrived at a temporary orphanage. Watching Yu Qiren and An Yan taking care of the orphans they had found earlier and those they had discovered later, Su Mu smiled knowingly.

Chapter 235 People Under the Ruins

They arrived at the ruins and discovered a mysterious entrance not far away. At this entrance, they found several monsters.

Osley was the first to rush out. He picked up the laser gun in his hand, a new product they had developed but had not yet tried to use.

Under his scan, several monsters had already died at his hands before they could escape.

Su Mu was slightly surprised and kept praising Osley.

“It seems you have all made progress. There should only be ruins at the entrance ahead. As for whether there will be any danger, we cannot let our guard down.”

10 Su Mu walked in first, wanting to be the first to go in, but Zhang Feiyan told Su Mu to prepare properly first.

"Sir, please don't be in such a hurry. Why don't we all go ahead of you? That way, if the space here collapses in case of danger, you can still walk away."

Su Mu frowned slightly as he looked at the people present. They were all teammates who had fought side by side, so why should he have to hide behind them?

Because he was a nobleman, he was even less likely to be looked down upon.

"I don't need your equipment, just give it to me."

Su Mu carried some advanced equipment, including a gun and cannon. If he encountered monsters, he could fire them all to pieces.

Osley just kept laughing on the side, seemingly supporting Su Mu's actions but also looking helpless.

Su Mu heard the laughter, turned around, and glared at him fiercely.

"What, you still dare to laugh at me behind my back? Do you think you look handsome today?"

Osley innocently raised his hand, pointed to the monsters on the ground, and calmly continued speaking to Su Mu.

“I can tell you’re prepared for these monsters. The equipment you have should be enough to keep you safe for now. We’ve entered the ruins and we don’t know if there’s any direction where it will collapse.”

Su Mu stared intently at the ruins. Since he entered, he had noticed that the air here was not circulating and there was a foul smell of gasoline.

"I don't know why I entered this place. The air here feels so oppressive that I feel like throwing up."

Their goal today is to bring out that old general, but Su Mu knows they might not be able to find him here.

As they walked down the stairs, they soon discovered that there was a gap in the path ahead, and they had to be very careful.

Once they had all successfully reached the bottom of the ruins, Su Mu realized they might not have brought enough pills.

"By the way, I wanted to ask everyone, did you all bring enough of the pills I asked you to bring today?"

"Don't worry, Su Mu. I wouldn't dare say this to you if I didn't bring enough 553s."

Zhang Feiyan opened her backpack and showed it to Su Mu. The others also opened their backpacks to check, and finally found that they had enough things.

"That will make things better."

Having finally reached the bottom, everyone wanted to rest, but as they looked up, they saw a group of winged monsters flying overhead, occasionally breathing fire.

Su Mu immediately cursed angrily.

"Damn these monsters are here again, brothers, what are you still sitting there for? Let's blast them all to smithereens today."

After Su Mu started, the others did the same thing.

Chapter 236 No Drinking Until We're Drunk

Just as they dealt with the monsters, everyone wiped the sweat from their brows, and Su Mu, having just experienced a perilous ordeal, felt a pang of emotion.

"This place is too dangerous. Let's see if we can find anything good and then leave."

Just as they were about to leave, Su Mu's foot was accidentally grabbed. She looked down and saw a hand reaching out from the corner, tightly gripping her foot.

Su Mu narrowed his eyes, then squatted down in the ruins and opened the last stone, discovering a human face. The person's forehead was still bleeding, indicating that they had been trapped there for a long time.

"Help me."

Su Mu recognized him immediately; he seemed to be the old soldier who had gone missing before. Su Mu was somewhat familiar with his name.

"My name is Kalevlin. If you can save me, I will definitely give you a corresponding reward."

Su Mu shook his head and readily allowed his two friends to rescue him.

"Thank you both for your help."

Zhang Feiyan laughed heartily instead, feeling that Su Mu was being especially polite to her. They were all teammates fighting side by side, so there was no need for such politeness.

"Su Mu, let's go ahead and take a look. We've rescued the person for you now. Here's some food for him to eat."

Su Mu gave the bread he had brought to Karaflin.

"If you're so kind as to ask, have something to eat. I see you've been locked up here for several days. It seems you were unfortunately trapped here when this place collapsed."

After tending to the wound on his forehead, Kalevlin realized that he hadn't eaten for several days, so he picked up Su Mu's bread and wolfed it down.

After replenishing her energy, Su Mu asked her why she had come here.

“Our fleet passed through this place before, but we encountered a collapse. My teammates have all left safely. They probably thought I was dead.”

Karaflin looked somewhat regretful, but she felt a sense of kinship with Su Mu the first time she met him.

"It's okay, I'll take you back now, but you have to promise me that you'll listen to me when we get back and you won't wander around or ask your team for permission."

Kalevlin was very grateful to Su Mu for saving his life and is now very obedient to him.

"I'd like to ask what your name is."

"If you're worried, you can call me Su Mu. This place is relatively safe for the time being. I just discovered a lot of monsters outside and dealt with quite a few here. You can't let your guard down; this place is very dangerous."

Kalevlin looked up and gazed at his surroundings. The ground was littered with the corpses of many pterosaurs, all of which were mutated monsters.

His gaze fell on the weapon behind Su Mu. Seeing his interest, Su Mu explained it to him and gave him a small pistol for self-defense.

"This pistol was specially developed by our fleet. Take it for defense."

Su Mu decided to take him back and treat him well. Su Mu needed veterans like him who had experienced countless battles.

Su Mu led him out of the ruins and onto his fleet, where everyone welcomed the stranger warmly.

That night, Su Mu and Kalevlin drank until they were completely drunk, and they didn't go home until dawn.

Chapter 237 Should We Do the Arms Deal?

When Su Mu woke up, he found Karaflin chatting with his teammates outside.

As expected of a veteran who has been through countless battles, he is so familiar with his subordinates. From their conversation, Su Mu could tell that he was very interested in the weapons and equipment around them.

Yesterday he handed the newly developed weapon to Kalevlin, but the latter was able to spot the problem with just one glance.

Su Mu felt that this person was really interesting.

Zhang Feiyan even discussed with Kalaflin how to use these things, and what the size of the 553rd Fleet, where he had previously served, was.

"Speaking of my past achievements, that's all in the past. But now that I think about it, I feel like I can still fight again. With my current reputation, no matter where I go, they won't dare to mistreat me."

Su Mu nodded. Although he had nothing to refute when he heard this, Kalevlin was indeed a battle-hardened warrior. With him, the entire army would be even more powerful.

"Su Mu, you're awake. We thought you'd sleep until the afternoon, but we didn't expect you to drink so much last night. Even Kalevlin wasn't drunk by you."

When Kalevlin heard Su Mu approaching, he smiled and faced him.

"Young people are just young. You got drunk after only a little wine. I was still a bit unsatisfied when it was dawn. It's a pity that this area is like this. If it weren't for the monsters' destruction, I could have found you more fine wine."

Su Mu was both amused and exasperated, feeling a bit embarrassed by what he said, as drinking too much alcohol is bad for your health.

"Kalaflin, what are your plans next? I'd like to ask if you have any plans for the future. If you do, I'd be willing to let you stay and remain in our fleet as our commander."
