Two weeks later, they finally got a very important opportunity.
The Blue Star people's team is making adjustments, so one of the most important strongholds along the way will now be moved due to strategic considerations.
This gave Lu Yuan and his team a very important opportunity. Taking advantage of this brief window, they only needed to pass through this stronghold and then they could go directly to the seaside to deploy their next mission.
However, the Earthlings didn't give them much time—only one day—as they needed to move a lot of important equipment over.
The observation radius of this base is as long as 20 kilometers, so they have to travel 40 kilometers in one day and move a lot of heavy equipment there, which requires a huge cost.
Qiao Lin and the others stared at the massive piece of equipment weighing tens of tons in front of them, their faces pale and gloomy.
"If we don't bring this equipment, will it be unusable?"
Lu Yuan looked at the enormous thing in front of him, and his face showed a look of shock.
"Yes, we have to bring it. To avoid being detected by the Earthlings' warships, we absolutely must have this, because it can block all Earthling signals. That way, we won't be detected by the Earthlings!"
The person looked at this and said, "Big machine."
"What if we shrink this machine a bit and modify it a little, would that solve the problem?"
The other party shook his head with a wry smile: "It won't work. This machine is very important to us. It has already undergone a period of testing, and we can only shrink it to this size. If it were any smaller, we might need to use more materials, and you know that we are currently facing a severe shortage of resources in our camp."
Lu Yuan understood that the other party was unable to detect the device because they lacked the resources. If they had the resources, they could have further refined the device.
"Alright, give me this thing and I'll think of something. We still have two days to set off, don't we?"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Qiao Lin and the others all showed a hint of shock on their faces.
"Brother Lin, are you crazy? This thing is extremely valuable. Without it, none of us can reach the front lines!"
"Yes, Brother Lin, don't be ridiculous. This thing is very important to us. Without it, we're basically dancing under their noses!"
"We only have this one piece of equipment. If we lose it, we really won't be able to leave the city anymore. This is our only means of survival!"
Upon hearing everyone's words, Lu Yuan immediately showed a hint of frustration.
He originally intended to take this thing back to the dimensional space and ask Qiao Ya for help, but when they heard that he was going to take this thing away, they immediately got angry.
Lu Yuan sighed helplessly: "Alright, if none of you are willing, then forget it. Let's get ready. This thing is heavy, but it shouldn't be a problem to take it with us!"
So Lu Yuan and the others began the final inspection; there were many things they needed to test.
The first step is to check and arrange all the items. This time, the departure will be fast and the journey will take a long time. They will be away for half a month, so they must bring everything they need, whether it's food, supplies, drinks, or oxygen. Otherwise, if a problem occurs on the way, no one will be able to return safely.
Secondly, without equipment, they cannot capture the enemy's large ships; without defense, they cannot go to sea; and without equipment, they cannot transport the goods from the large ships. Therefore, equipment is very important.
And the last one is this anti-tracking device.
Without this, their whereabouts would be exposed to the Earthlings, so they must wear it at all times.
Furthermore, they need sufficient power to power the equipment, and they have a patented charging vehicle that is exposed to the sun during the day to charge.
At night, he would use the electricity stored in the car to power the device.
After everything was ready, everyone prepared to wait for night to fall.
They are unable to move during the day, so they can only do so at night.
However, on the way there, they kept advising them to constantly receive signals. If something really happened to the Earthlings, they would have to control their actions and not be exposed outside the underground city during the day.
Once exposed to this place, it's practically the same as being dead.
So everything was so unfavorable for them; if one link went wrong, everyone would die along with them.
So everyone waited quietly for night to fall. Finally, after the sun set, the earth was plunged into darkness, but the temperature in the desert was still very high at night.
They have to wait about half an hour to an hour before they can leave.
Moreover, because they were carrying a lot of stuff, they had to drive very slowly to take care of the vehicle. This meant they had to cherish every minute and second, as exceeding their time budget could lead to trouble.
And so, with meticulous calculation of every minute and second, at 8:01:15, the convoy set off instantly, a vast and impressive procession of cars driving out of the gate.
A heavy piece of equipment, weighing tens of tons, was then pulled out, its silvery-white body gleaming in the darkness.
Lu Yuan sat in one of the vehicles, looking at the huge plumes of dust being swirled up on both sides of the car, and felt a sense of worry.
He didn't know what kind of encounters he would face on this mission; he only hoped to return safely.
Everyone shared the same thought as Lu Yuan; they didn't ask for much.
They just wanted to come back safely and get what they needed.
The car continued moving forward, maintaining a speed of about 15 to 20 miles per hour.
Because the equipment was so big, every now and then the people in the convoy would check the vehicle. If the tires were underinflated or there were other problems, they would have to stop the vehicle.
Moreover, this device cannot be subjected to excessive vibrations, as such vibrations could potentially damage its components.
Lu Yuan felt that it would be good if this thing could last until the destination, and he secretly wondered if he should make some preparations.
