The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 412: Isn't This Rice Fragrant?

The Ecological Environment Transformation Technology encompassed various smaller technologies and was a large-scale technology. Most civilizations couldn't achieve this level of mastery, and only civilizations like the Qiluo Civilization, which had almost become the pinnacle of humanity, could do so.

Initially, Yun Ru had thoroughly researched this technology, which left Su Chen frustrated for a few days. After all, this kind of technology was almost unnecessary on Earth.

Unexpectedly, it had arrived on Yan Yun Star so quickly, where it was most needed.

Under the full efforts of the Red Alert Base's transformation, a transformation of earth-shaking proportions occurred within a radius of five hundred kilometers around the base.

Every Yan Yun Star resident here could clearly see with their naked eyes that the surrounding environment was changing for the better.

The air became fresher, the ground was no longer black, and most importantly, a multitude of flowers, plants, and trees appearedsome of which they didn't even recognize.

And they were right not to recognize them. Many of these plants were genetic strains taken from the refuge left behind by Yun Ru from the Qiluo Civilization and had been bred anew.

Some of the more worldly-wise Yan Yun Star residents exclaimed that they had never seen such powerful technology before. How did the Red Alert Base possess such advanced technology?

Miller didn't pay attention to the changes in the surroundings; he just wanted to have enough to eat every day.

Seemingly a trifling wish, but in reality, many people on Yan Yun Star still couldn't get enough to eat, and a large portion of the population was hovering around the subsistence line.

"I don't need to do manual labor anymore? I can go and farm?"

When Miller received this news, he was somewhat dazed. In just a few days, they could already start farming?

If it weren't for a Red Alert Soldier notifying him, he wouldn't have believed it.

He was a villager who knew nothing except farming.

During the first round of assignments, he could only choose manual labor, but once the ground had been transformed, villagers like him who could farm were put to use.

When they were brought to the already cultivated fields, they were all dumbfounded.

Out of habit, a villager squatted down, picked up a handful of soil, and tasted it. His eyes immediately lit up. "Such fertile soil! If we plant here, the yield will increase by at least fifty percent!"

As a farmer of decades, his words were definitely not an exaggeration.

Others tried it too, and their conclusions were very similar. This soil was a dream come true for people like them.

According to Yan Yun Star's usual norms, rice would take at least two or three months to mature after being planted. But how could Su Chen wait for so long?

Thus, these people witnessed another miraclewithin just a few days, these rice plants underwent the entire process from sprouting to maturity. They stared in disbelief.

Even when the rice was ripe and ready for harvest, they still stood there stunned.

"Is my eyesight failing me? Did the rice mature this quickly?"

"I know, it must be that this base has a new technology that promotes rice growth. But can we eat this kind of rice?"

Whenever something new appeared, it would be met with skepticism. This was like the genetically modified crops that had sparked controversy on Earth until shortly before the apocalypse.

For someone hungry, never mind genetically modified rice, even if you gave them the worst food, they would eat it!

The people of Yan Yun Star were the same; they couldn't believe that rice that matured so quickly could be eaten.

To address this, the Red Alert Soldiers did just one thingmake all their food from this rice. If someone didn't want to eat it, tough luck!

At first, some people refused to eat, but the sensation of hunger in their stomachs persisted. In the end, everyone couldn't resist and started eating the rice.

The Red Alert Soldiers chuckled slightly. Isn't this rice fragrant?

With the food problem completely resolved, the largest obstacle to Red Alert Base's development no longer existed. The next step was to continue spreading the Red Alert Base and rapidly increasing their strength before the Ghost Clan discovered them.

Soon, Su Chen realized that everyone else was busy, but he had nothing to do.

Even his maids, Tanya and Ju Ling, were out on business.

Bored, Su Chen could only open the map and see if there was anything interesting on it.

Due to Yan Yun Star's vast size, monitoring every location would require a significant number of spy satellites. A preliminary estimate suggested that he'd need at least a few hundred.

Su Chen couldn't afford to waste energy on that for the time being, so he thought of another way to illuminate the map.

The old methods were still effective. One was to drop paratroopers to move around and light up the map, and the other was to release reconnaissance aircraft!

Relatively speaking, reconnaissance aircraft were more practical, but paratroopers might stumble upon crucial intelligence sometimes. Both methods were quite practical.

"Prepare fifty groups of paratroopers to land in a radius of ten thousand kilometers centered around the base."

Instantly, fifty groups of paratroopers appeared in the air, descending leisurely to the ground.

For those with good luck, there was nothing around. For those with bad luck, they encountered Ghost Clan squads directly and engaged in battle on the spot.

The members of the paratrooper squads generally had Fourth Order Peak strength, and the Captains were only at the Fifth Order Peak. When they encountered Ghost Clan squads, they were no match.

Su Chen wouldn't just stand by and watch his subordinates get killed. He temporarily elevated the strength of all the squads in battle by one stage, immediately initiating a counterattack.

The Ghost Clan members were dumbfounded. They never expected enemies to descend from the sky.

"Commander, we've found something." a paratrooper Captain reported.

Paratroopers belonged to a special type of troop, and they had the permission to directly report to Su Chen.

Su Chen immediately opened the location where this paratrooper Captain was. He enlarged the image and saw... a group of Ghost Clan members.

"Is this a Ghost Clan stronghold?" Su Chen rubbed his chin. He had a feeling he had stumbled upon something big.

The map showed that this place wasn't covered by black dots. Like other areas, there were many yellow and light dots. Su Chen had thought this was a Humans village, but it turned out to be a Ghost Clan stronghold.

With the strength of a paratrooper squad, taking down a Ghost Clan stronghold wasn't impossible, unless Su Chen was willing to spend energy to instantly boost the squad's strength to Eighth Order Peak.

But after careful consideration, the cost-effectiveness wasn't there; the potential of the paratroopers was too low.

So, there was only one waysend in an air fleet for a direct bombing assault!

By the way, he wanted to see if there was anyone inside the Ghost Clan stronghold who knew where the Ghost Clan headquarters was. If he could destroy the Ghost Clan headquarters, most of his resistance on Yan Yun Star would disappear.

As Su Chen was contemplating these matters, on the other side, the fleet led by the Human Emperor was running into trouble from the very beginning. (To be continued)
