Chapter 268 Intelligence work is particularly critical, so be careful!
“Holden, the issue of resources is of paramount importance and we must ensure that there are no gaps on the front line.

The intelligence work on Savile's side is particularly critical, so be careful!"

After listening to it, Elena immediately nodded, looking serious: “Master Pioneer, I have stepped up the scientific research process, and all researchers are working overtime. We will definitely hand in the results as soon as possible.

However, I am also worried that this high-intensity research pressure will affect their state."

Holden also showed a trace of anxiety: “Master Pioneer, Elena makes sense.

Researchers are not soldiers. Although we know they are working very hard, it would be a waste of time if they make mistakes due to overwork!"

Stekar nodded slightly, a trace of helplessness appeared on his face: “I understand what you said.

It’s just that the current situation is urgent, and any mistake will affect the overall situation. We don’t have much time to slowly adjust! ”

Elena still insisted on her opinion, with a little consolation in her tone: “Master Pioneer, I know you are worried about the situation on the front line, but we also have to consider the long-term combat effectiveness of the scientific research team.

We can arrange some short breaks, even just for one day, to help them regain some energy!"

Holden also nodded: “Yes, I think Elena is right.

We can develop a shift mechanism to ensure that the scientific research progress is not affected while giving researchers a break! "

Sterkar thought for a moment and finally nodded: “Okay, let’s arrange it as you said.

Since scientific researchers are our most valuable resource, we must ensure that their work status is stable.

Elena, you should work out a reasonable shift plan as soon as possible, and make sure to take into account both progress and efficiency!"

Elena breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Yes, Master Pioneer, I will make arrangements immediately!"

Sterkar looked at Holden and smiled slightly: “Holden, the resources are all up to you. I don’t want to hear any more news about shortages!”

Holden nodded heavily: “Don’t worry, Master Pioneer, I will use all my strength to ensure the supply of resources.

I also plan to send more mining fleets to explore those star regions that have not yet been fully developed. Maybe there will be new discoveries!"

Sterkar nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, let's execute it according to this plan!"

At this moment, Tomoko's voice sounded again: "Master Pioneer, Leo's reconnaissance team has entered the border of Terra civilization, but they encountered some unexpected situations!"

Sterkar frowned and immediately asked, "What unexpected situation? Explain it clearly!"

Chieko's tone remained calm: "When approaching the target star field, Leo's reconnaissance ship suddenly encountered a patrol team. Through extremely precise tactical moves, they successfully avoided the patrol team's surveillance and continued to go deeper.

However, there seems to be a tighter defense network ahead, Leo requests further instructions! "

Sterkar pondered for a moment, his eyes calm, “Continue to sneak and try to avoid any possible conflicts.

The goal is intelligence, not war.

If they can't go any further, they can turn back immediately and don't take any risks!"

"Understood, Master Pioneer, I will convey your instructions to Leo!" Tomoko's voice disappeared immediately, and the entire conference room fell silent.

Elena and Holden looked at each other, and Holden couldn't help but say, "Master Pioneer, do you think Leo and the others can successfully complete the mission? After all, the defense system of Terra civilization has always been one of the most difficult problems!"

Sterkar smiled slightly, his tone carrying a hint of confidence: “You all know Leo’s abilities, he has led the team on countless dangerous missions, and he was able to escape unscathed every time.

Although this is not easy, I believe they will find a suitable solution!"

Elena also nodded: “Yes, Leo is indeed very good at dealing with this kind of high-risk mission.

And with Zhizi's assistance behind the scenes, at least their actions can be more precise!"

At this moment, the display screen in the conference room suddenly lit up, and Leo's figure appeared on the screen with a dim cockpit as the background.

His expression was a little nervous, but still calm: “Master Pioneer, we have successfully avoided the second line of defense, but there is a huge space station ahead with an extremely strict defense system.

We can't get closer, we must find another way to continue the mission!"

Sterkar leaned back in his chair, crossed his hands over his chest, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Leo, can we go around it? Or find a loophole in the space station to sneak in?"

Leo shook his head: “Master Pioneer, the shield of this space station has almost no loopholes, and any attempt to forcefully approach will trigger an alarm.

We are now analyzing the structure of the space station to see if there are opportunities to obtain data by other means!"

Sterkar narrowed his eyes slightly: "Tomoko, what suggestions do you have?"

Sophon's voice then sounded: "Master Pioneer, according to my analysis, the defense system of the space station is highly concentrated in the outer structure, but there are some areas inside that are not well protected.

If Leo and his team can infiltrate these areas, they may be able to successfully obtain the data!"

Leo immediately responded: "We have begun trying to approach those areas, but we still need time to analyze and plan our routes!"

Sterkar nodded gently: “Okay, Leo, be careful and don’t expose yourself.

If the situation does not allow, retreat immediately, safety is the most important!"

Leo answered firmly: "Understood, Master Pioneer, I will do my best to complete the mission!"

After the communication was interrupted, Sterkar's eyes remained fixed on the screen, as if he was still thinking about what might happen next.

Elena and Holden waited quietly, neither of them seemed willing to break the silence at this moment.

At this moment, Zhizi's voice sounded again: "Master Pioneer, there is new information about intelligence work. Xavier's team has found some clues about the scientific research data of Terra civilization, which may be helpful to Elena's research!"

Sterkar's eyes lit up instantly: "Oh? What clue?"

Sophon continued, "Savier's intelligence team discovered a hidden scientific research base in an abandoned star field, where some experimental data once conducted by the Terra civilization seemed to be stored.

These data may be of great help to our research on new energy sources!"

Elena immediately perked up: "If that's the case, then we have a new breakthrough!"

Holden also became excited: "Yes, Mr. Pioneer, this will be a huge development!"

Sterkar smiled, nodded and said, “Very good, Elena, you should start preparing immediately. Once the intelligence from Savile is confirmed to be correct, we will send a team to obtain the data.

This opportunity cannot be missed! "The comments in the live broadcast room became active again:

[Oh my god! Another scientific research base of Terra civilization has been discovered? Isn't this our chance to make a breakthrough?]

[Oh my, the designer has planned a new surprise! I must seize the opportunity this time! ]

[But don’t you think it’s a bit risky? If there’s something wrong with this base, it’ll be troublesome! ]

[Don't worry, the pioneers are never afraid of these challenges! We just have to wait and see how they handle it! ]

[Hahaha, no matter what, this dungeon is getting more and more exciting! The designer of Azure Star No. 009 is really awesome, when will the next dungeon be released? ]

[Don't worry, finish reading this first. I just want to know if Leo and the others can sneak in successfully! ]

Stekar stood up from his chair, walked to the window, and looked at the vast starry sky with deep eyes.

He knew that every next step was crucial and any neglect of any detail could lead to total failure.

But he also understands that as long as he and his team persevere, the final victory will belong to them.

"Tomoko, continue to monitor all actions and report immediately if there is any sign of trouble!" Stekar said calmly.

"Understood, Master Pioneer!" Tomoko's voice echoed in the air like a machine that never gets tired.

Sterkar stood in front of the window, looking at the starry sky in the distance. The light of the starship's engine flickered faintly in the void.

Holden walked to Sterkar and coughed lightly, seeming a little hesitant.

He finally spoke: "Master Pioneer, there is something I think I should mention. Although it has nothing to do with the current mission, I think you should know it!"

Sterkar turned around, frowning slightly: “Tell me, Holden, what’s the matter?”

Holden adjusted his collar slightly, and said with a little embarrassment: “Recently, many nobles on the planet have begun to feel dissatisfied with our current resource allocation policy. They feel that their interests have been harmed.

Especially some big miners, their mining plans were given priority by us to military supplies, resulting in a significant reduction in their personal profits! "

Sterkar stared at Holden, his brows furrowed even more tightly: "They have objections? At this juncture, they still have the mind to consider their personal interests? Are these people crazy, or am I too kind?"

Holden waved his hand quickly, trying to ease the atmosphere: “No, Mr. Pioneer, they are not completely opposed, they just want you to consider their situation.

After all, these nobles control a lot of important resources on the planet. If they waver, it may affect the entire resource supply chain!"

Sterkar sneered, his tone cold: "Wave? I don't think they have the capital to waver.

In the current state of war, everyone must make sacrifices for the survival of the planet.

Holden, tell those people that either they cooperate for our common survival, or I will clean up the mess myself!"

Holden nodded. Although he felt a little uneasy, he knew that Sterkar’s determination was unshakable: “I understand, Master Pioneer.

I will go and appease them again, but as you know, the nobles always like to play tricks, so it may take some time to completely calm their emotions!"

Stekar waved his hand: “Go ahead and do it, don’t waste too much energy on these people.

Our biggest enemy right now is the Terra civilization, not these short-sighted guys.

As long as we defeat the Terra civilization, they will naturally obey us obediently!"

Holden nodded and then left the meeting room.

As he walked, he pondered how to balance the interests of the nobles and military supplies, but he still had confidence in Stekar's decision.

Stekar returned to his chair, and Elena was still standing beside him, as if waiting for Stekar's further instructions.

Seeing that Stekar was deep in thought, she spoke softly, “Master Pioneer, although our research progress is accelerating, if we can get some breakthroughs from the scientific research data of Terra civilization, our progress will be much faster.

Savile's intelligence team has located the abandoned scientific research base. I suggest sending someone there as soon as possible!"

Sterkar nodded: “I think so too.

Elena, you choose a scientific research team, try to enter the scientific research base in a low-key manner, and obtain as much data as possible.

Remember, act with caution, the Terran civilization is not an opponent that can be easily ignored, and the abandoned bases may still have unactivated defense mechanisms!"

Elena showed a hint of nervousness: “Yes, Master Pioneer, I will personally command this operation.

We will take the safest approach and never take risks lightly!"

Sterkar looked at her with a serious expression: "You want to go in person? Elena, this mission is very risky. I don't want to lose our most important scientific research director because of a risk!"

Elena smiled slightly and said firmly: “Master Pioneer, my knowledge and experience are crucial to this mission.

If we just send out an ordinary team, we may not be able to successfully decipher the high-end technology of Terra civilization.

Don't worry, I will act cautiously and won't act rashly!"

Sterkar was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: “Okay, since you have confidence, then I trust you.

You must pay attention to safety and ensure the success of this mission!"

Elena nodded in agreement, then left the meeting room to prepare for action.

And Sterkar looked out the window again, as if he could see the storm about to break out in the starry sky.

At the same time, Tomoko's voice sounded in his ears again: "Master Pioneer, Leo's reconnaissance team has approached the target area and they are about to enter the space station!"

Sterkar murmured softly, "Leo, don't make any mistakes!"

In the distant starry sky, Leo's reconnaissance ship was slowly approaching the huge Terra civilization space station.

The space station looks like a giant armored insect, with its surface covered with energy shields and complex defense systems.

Leo operated the ship carefully, making sure not to trigger any alarms.

In the cockpit, Leo's deputy Alves whispered: "Captain, we are getting closer and closer, but the defense of this space station is so airtight that I can hardly breathe!"
