Is it really okay to click on the Starry Sky technology tree in Star Railway?

He threw the newspaper to Dan Heng. There was not much useful content on it. Dan Heng quickly finished reading the news inside, and his indifferent expression changed slightly.

After a while, he finally squeezed out these few words from his throat.

"Political struggle..."

"Yes, at that time, a large number of personnel in the Research Department were killed by the Silver Mane Iron Guards, and the head of the Research Department was exiled to the outside of the Snow Plains. The few city builders among them were stripped of their positions and demoted to commoners. I'm sure there were only a few who survived."

Chen Lin sighed and continued, "These orders were issued by the current Great Guardian, Cocolia Rand, on the grounds of studying taboos and attempting to overthrow the City Builders and the Beloberg regime. A group of scientific researchers rebelling? If you said it was a group of workers rebelling, I would believe it, but how could people who are already in the upper class overthrow themselves? Just think about it, it's problematic."

"They touched something they shouldn't have?"

"Yes, there aren't many things that Beloberg can provide researchers with to study, especially things that can cause fear in those in power."

"…Star core."

"If I hadn't asked Black Tower to help me look up information, it might have been difficult to connect all the clues from these books. Then the lower area was blocked. Logically speaking, when faced with a crisis, the people should unite to resist foreign enemies. I don't understand this operation." Chen Lin suddenly asked: "I remember Miss Ji Zi mentioned to me before landing that the star core has the ability to communicate, right?"

"Well, star cores have the ability to communicate, but the huge cost it brings is something no planet can bear."

"Dan Heng."

"Ah."

"Have you ever seen a situation where a star core reaches some kind of deal with the powers that be during your travels?"

"No... but now it is very likely that the situation you described will happen. The star core represents the remaining power of the star god. If it can bewitch people, ordinary people will find it difficult to resist. Phew... it turns out that being careful is the right thing to do."

Although many things are still uncertain, based on Chen Lin's series of information and data, it is speculated that the Great Guardian is very likely to know the existence of the star core.

The evidence and a series of speculations presented by Chen Lin had a conspiracy theory tone, but this was the analysis and speculation that most fitted Beloberg's current situation. Dan Heng was quite impressed by this young man in front of him, who looked and was about the same age as himself, for being able to find so much information about the local government and the star core in just one week.

It's really surprising.

If they had told Cocolia what they were up to, would they have ended up like the victims of the research department ten years ago, being hacked to death by the weapons of Beloberg?

Thinking of this, Dan Heng felt a palpitation.

Even though he and Sanyue had been hunted by the local government many times before, they were not mentally ill. If there were better ways to solve the problem, why should they fight and kill each other and live in fear all day long?

Now Dan Heng feels very safe when he sees Chen Lin. It seems that it is not difficult to understand why Xing always sticks to him. This guy is really too approachable.

It had only been a short time since he made the researchers at Clipper Palace greet each other proactively, and he also had good relations with many of the Silver Mane Guards. More importantly, the heir to the Grand Guardian would come over to chat with him behind closed doors whenever he had time, and they would chat until late at night.

Seeing Chen Lin's confident look, Dan Heng asked, "Do you have a plan?"

"Yes, but it may take a little time."

"It's okay. In the past, Sanyue and I would spend several months to solve similar problems. Some would even spend a year or two." Danheng nodded, holding his chin. "Just do it. We will cooperate. Can you tell me the general approach?"

Chen Lin turned around with a sunny and cheerful smile and said something extremely terrifying.

"If we replace this country, it will definitely allow us to take the leader of the star core. I think there are a lot of Yalilo-VI mines and the ball is big enough, so it is quite suitable as a colony planet."

Dan Heng: "?"

In an instant, Dan Heng suddenly felt that Chen Lin seemed more like a disaster than the star core...

Are you thinking about colonizing the local indigenous people before you even get to sit down? !

Thinking of the previous battle with Doommon at the Black Tower Space Station and those mysterious ships, he sighed.

This guy might actually be qualified to colonize others.

……

At noon, Pella knocked on the door of the pioneer team as usual. It was time for lunch.

As guests of Belloberg, there was naturally no such thing as guests having to pay for their own meals at his home. All their expenses were paid for by Clipper Palace.

"I am so sorry."

As he spoke, Pella bowed slightly to Chen Lin, the leader of the scientific expedition team, and said, "Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time. This morning, I received a notice from my unit to hand over some materials..."

"It's okay, it's okay. Miss Pera, what happened? I saw a large army gathered in the square earlier."

Chen Lin waved his hand and asked softly. Others also heard the noise and looked over, curious about what was going on.

As an intelligence officer of the Silver Mane Guards and a confidant who can stay by Bronya's side, the girl's status is definitely not low, and naturally one can get a lot of information from her that is difficult for ordinary people to obtain.

Pera's expression was a little tangled. Seeing this, Chen Lin said, "It doesn't matter if it's inconvenient to say it."

"It doesn't matter whether I keep it a secret or not. This is a big deal and will probably spread all over the streets soon."

Pella smiled bitterly and said, "The erosion of the Rift has exceeded the outer city area. Now an important block has been eroded. A large number of Rift monsters have appeared. The Silver Mane Iron Guards are going to rescue the trapped citizens and eliminate the Rift monsters that may break into the safe zone."

"Is it so serious? Do you want us to help?" March had been living a comfortable life recently. When she heard that the city she was visiting had encountered difficulties, her first thought was to help.

"I heard from Garrison Officer Jeppard that you are very powerful, but your mission should be to protect Mr. Chen Lin. We have all witnessed the contributions Mr. Chen Lin has made to Beloberg, and Mr. Chen Lin's safety should be put first. I believe that the Silver Mane Iron Guard will restore order in the city."

Rumbling--

Who would have thought that just as she finished speaking, flames suddenly shot up into the sky in the distance from Beloberg, and several explosions echoed throughout the city, as if the end of the world had come!

Originally, Chen Lin didn't intend to take care of this matter, but after thinking about it, he felt that he should give a little deterrent to Cocolia who was ready to make a move in the rear and always put some relationship reduction entries on his relationship entries.

He suddenly said, "Don't worry, Miss Pella. Although I am a weak researcher, I have brought along the appropriate self-defense weapons. I am sure I can efficiently clear a safe evacuation route for the trapped citizens."

Chapter 33 We will go to the front line

The sun was shining brightly, and a hint of coolness unique to Beloberg passed through the air.

Ice and snow have become the symbol of Belloberg. Whether it is food, architecture or artwork, they all have some icy style.

In the fallen commercial district, dark and terrifying cracks tore through the air. Under the dim light, countless world-shattering monsters gushed out of the cracks like springs.

"My daughter, my daughter is still in there!! I won't leave, I don't want to leave...!"

"Frank! You take this lady away first, and you, you, and you, come with me to find her child."

"Yes! Captain!"

The captain of the Iron Guard, whose chest armor was deformed and whose thighs were bleeding from several hideous wounds, immediately issued an order, holding a battle blade and leading the Iron Guards in the team, and resolutely rushed into the building full of monsters.

Soon, the sound of fierce fighting could be heard from inside the building, followed by a few screams, and then nothing else happened...

call--

Ding Ling clang——

On the spacious streets, panicked crowds were constantly being led away from the scene by the Silver Mane Iron Guards. The Iron Guards, who were covering the people's retreat, kept waving their weapons in their hands. The crisp collision sounds and heart-wrenching cries echoed throughout the streets and alleys.

The originally prosperous area has turned into a living hell in just over an hour!

The scattered snow on the bluestone floor was dyed red, and the thin ice on the side of the road was melted by the hot blood. Then the hot blood that melted the ice frost condensed into new ice in the low temperature.

It was that streak of enchanting bright red that seemed so dazzling.

A few hundred meters behind the front line, a makeshift command post stood in the center of the street. As the commander of the Silver Mane Guard, Bronya was responsible for commanding this battle.

The messengers reported the battlefield situation back and forth. Even though Bronya had extremely rich experience in combat command, she was still busy and overwhelmed in the face of such a sudden large-scale invasion of the Rift.

"Captain Archie, take your team to take over the second intersection east of Perhong Avenue. A large number of Rift Monsters are pouring out there, affecting the safe evacuation route for the people."

"Captain Dunn, take your men to replace the defense line guarded by Jayden. Their casualties are very serious. The strategic significance of the library fork is very huge. We must not lose it!"

Orders came out from Bronya's mouth one after another, and a large number of Silver Mane Guards began to be sent to the front line of the commercial district in an orderly manner.

"Report! Commander Bronya, Captain Vic and his team have all died, and the passageway between the outer city and the commercial street has been lost!"

"Battle report!! Commander Bronya, Captain Andre of Team 4 went missing while covering the evacuation of 14 civilians. The search and rescue team is short-handed!"

Fierce battles were often accompanied by reports of countless deaths from the front lines. She kept hearing about the death of her Iron Guard friends who had greeted her not long ago, and she gritted her teeth.

"Continue to transmit the battle report. The rest of you go and fetch the reserve team list."

Her subordinates hold the lives of thousands of people in their hands. No matter how much pain Bronya is in, she must not show any weakness at this moment.

Anyone can fall, except her, the front-line commander. Otherwise, once morale is damaged, casualties will increase.

Endure... must endure...

Bronya's nails dug deeply into the flesh of her palms, and her gums were bitten so hard that they bled.

After the list of reserve soldiers was brought up, Bronya regained her ability to think rationally, turned her anger into fighting spirit, and devoted herself to commanding the battle...

Outside the safe evacuation passage opened by the Iron Guards, Pella led Chen Lin and his party through the panicked crowd and ran forward with a worried look on his face.

The further they walked, the more intense the cold current in the air became, as if the rift had not only torn apart the space, but also torn apart the protection provided by "Protection".

The low temperature can easily penetrate cotton clothes and skin, reaching deep into the bone marrow.

"There are so many people! Many civilians over there are so injured that they can hardly walk!"

Mitsuki exclaimed as a trace of pity and concern flashed in her eyes.

Xing lowered her eyes, also feeling sorry: "They are homeless, will they be cold?"

"No, the Silver Mane Iron Guard will make unified arrangements for housing, food, clothing, etc. for all the people affected by the erosion of the Rift. Although it may not be possible to restore them to their original state and there is no way to compensate the people for their losses, but everyone will survive."

Speaking of this, no one present knew the post-disaster relief work better than Pera, the intelligence officer. While waving to the soldiers on guard to let them go, she was still free to clear up everyone's doubts.

The safe passages are filled with a large number of Silver Mane Iron Guard members, who are guarding any place where the rifts may extend to ensure the safety of the evacuees.

After a while, everyone had arrived in front of the command post. Chen Lin also appropriately acted out of breath, and squeezed out a lot of sweat to better fit his current persona.

Seeing this, Pella hurried over and helped Chen Lin to the road pier nearby.

"Mr. Chen, please take a rest first. I will go in and report the situation to Commander Bronya... Thank you for your help."

She thought of the weapon that Chen Lin had mentioned before. Even though she had not seen it with her own eyes, the fact that it could launch an explosive attack at an extremely fast rate of fire to strike a small range of enemies still surprised her, a semi-civilian worker.

Perhaps... this is the first time that Beloberg has welcomed guests in hundreds of years, and he needs to trouble the guests to help deal with the dangers in the city.

This is really rude to treat guests...

After sighing and getting a nod in response from Chen Lin, Pella quickly passed through layers of checkpoints and entered this temporary command post composed of wooden stakes, sandbags and tents.

Only a few minutes later, everyone saw Bronya walking out of the command post quickly. The moment she saw Chen Lin, her eyes showed extremely complicated emotions, as if she didn't want the other party to see her in such a miserable state.

"Teacher...Mr. Chen Lin! Why are you here?"

"I heard that you guys were in trouble. I figured you guys might be in urgent need of help, so I came to help you."

Chen Lin smiled faintly, "We have received such a good hospitality in Beloberg, so of course we will not just stand by and watch. My guard friends have made great achievements in combat, so you are welcome to use them."

Danheng nodded, and Sanyue at the back of the team jumped up angrily.

"Yes, we have a lot of combat experience, so it's no problem for us to defeat these monsters! Xing, don't you agree?"

"Of course!" Xing raised his head, looking as if it was a piece of cake. The windbreaker behind him fluttered slightly, and at first glance he did look quite heroic.

But before she had enough of showing off, Chen Lin pinched her face.

"Don't be so pretentious, Bronya. Look at the front lines where we still need people. Let them go and hold the line. Don't be polite to us."

Bronya took a deep breath and nodded vigorously, with a look of gratitude in her eyes.

"Parker, take a few soldiers to Captain Dunn's defense line and tell them it's my order!"

Chapter 34: Difficult? Then I'll do it!

"Teacher, the front line is too dangerous, why did you come here in person?"

"Isn't this just a way of repaying your hospitality? It doesn't matter. Although I don't have much fighting ability, we brought a lot of weapons for self-defense when we came here for inspection. Even I can have some fighting ability." Chen Lin replied with a chuckle.

Pella sat on a simple wooden stool nearby and adjusted the troop list, integrating the intelligence coming from the front lines and organizing it into a highly visual text table so that Bronya could understand it at a glance and deploy the battle more efficiently.

She has become accustomed to the way Bronya addresses Chen Lin over this period of time.

As the head of intelligence for the Silver Mane Guard and also Bronya's personal lieutenant, Pella is a confidant that Bronya can completely trust.

Recently, Bronya always takes a lot of time to learn theories of state governance and military command from Chen Lin. For example, the method of establishing a temporary command center on the front line, using the city map as a base, and deploying troops to build defensive fortifications at different points came from what Chen Lin taught her.

At first, Pera was worried that Bronya was being deceived, so she came over to supervise the situation. However, after listening to a few classes, Pera was left with only deep admiration for the knowledge of the young man in front of him.

She likes intellectuals very much. Not the crazy kind of intellectuals who ask you in a condescending manner how a certain word is written, but the kind of intellectuals who have a strong scholarly air, who discuss issues that are not condescending, and who are friendly and gentle.

Under Beloberg's extremely advanced command theory, Bronya abandoned the original large-scale defensive mode in this operation, and instead appointed dozens of small team leaders to lead dozens of people under their command, reporting to several captains above. These captains directly obeyed Bronya's general command guidelines.

This is based on the line resistance theory proposed by Chen Lin based on Beloberg's cold combat weapons. A large number of soldiers armed with cold weapons blocked the intersection like an ant colony, and only the soldiers in the front row would engage in battle. Often, when the soldiers in the front row fell, it was difficult for the medical team in the rear to provide them with medical first aid.

Therefore, dividing the large team into small groups, identifying key strategic positions and defensively advantageous terrain, and rotating combat soldiers in this way will greatly reduce combat casualties and greatly reduce the number of deaths!

These things were the knowledge that Chen Lin taught Bronya a few days ago. Unexpectedly, she not only learned quickly, but also did very well in practical application.
