B6 Hangar.

The main entrance area was covered with a bright red carpet.

Two rows of elite soldiers stood in neat mechanical armor, solemn and silent.

Augulas, Sperd, and Li Ruiqi stood side by side.

Behind them were the core members of the GT department, including Xiulis, and the legion commanders of the First, Second, and Third Legions, all present. This reception lineup was undoubtedly heavyweight.

Basically, all the senior members on the Black Obsidian were present.

The scene was silent, waiting quietly for the opening of the docking corridor.

Just then, a burst of rapid footsteps came, and Su Mo ran over, panting.

Wang Hai and the others glanced askance at Su Mo.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Su Mo looked embarrassed and quickly found a place to stand.

No one present said anything to him; they seemed to be used to it.

Su Mo looked around, a little puzzled by the welcoming scene. Who was coming that was so important? Probably a big shot.

At this moment, there was a click.

The docking corridor opened.

Vice-Chairman Iserin walked in, accompanied by a few smart-looking officers.

"Salute!"

The leader of the honor guard shouted loudly.

Shua!

The two rows of officers saluted in a neat and uniform manner.

Augulas and the other two greeted Iserin with smiling faces.

Su Mo was also slightly surprised to see Iserin. He didn't expect the Federation to send another vice-chairman to take over.

It seemed that these two half-resource stars were more important than he had imagined.

"Vice-Chairman Iserin, we've finally been looking forward to your arrival. Thank you for the hard journey."

Augulas smiled and embraced Iserin.

"The ones who've truly worked hard are you. You've risked your lives out there to find invaluable resources for the Federation."

Iserin responded with a smile.

"Finding resources is difficult, but guarding them is even more difficult. The next heavy burden still needs you to shoulder."

Li Ruiqi said with emotion.

"Don't worry about that. This old bone of mine can still hold on. And after you leave, I will build the first transfer supply city here. At the same time, I will establish a space defense base here. If anyone with bad eyes comes to make trouble, they will definitely get what's coming to them.”

Iserin was still so strong.

"Haha, then we can rest assured."

Augulas and the others responded with a smile.

Su Mo was surprised to hear this. The Federation was planning to deploy a strategic transfer base here.

But when he thought about it carefully, it seemed feasible.

On the one hand, it could protect the resources here, and on the other hand, it could act as a springboard for subsequent Federation fleets to go further.

If Su Mo was right, Iserin must have brought relevant technologies and personnel with her.

This should be a strategic policy that was drawn up before departure. As for the resources and materials needed for construction, they could be obtained locally.

At this time, Iserin's eyes fell on Wenluosi, who greeted her with slightly red eyes.

"Lord Iserin."

Iserin smiled, reached out and hugged Wenluosi, and said kindly, "Wenluosi, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work. This is what I should do."

Wenluosi shook her head.

"Good child."

Iserin nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Wang Hai, Xiulis, and others greeted Iserin one after another.

"Greetings, Lord Iserin."

"Hello, it's been a few years since I've seen you. I can feel that you've all grown a lot."

Iserin replied very amiably.

Seeing this, Su Mo bit the bullet and greeted, "Greetings, Lord Iserin."

Then Iserin's eyes fell on Su Mo, whose face was unfamiliar. She paused slightly, then showed a bright smile.

"You must be Su Mo."

"Yes!"

Su Mo responded awkwardly.

"You are indeed a talented person, so young. I've heard Chairman Long Ming praise you a lot. Today, I finally met the real person."

Iserin praised Su Mo without stinginess.

"Lord Iserin, you're right to praise him. Su Mo is very excellent."

Li Ruiqi echoed with a smile.

"Indeed, there's a promising future! By the way, Li Ruiqi, Augulas, there's something I want to ask you."

After praising Su Mo, Iserin asked with a serious expression.

"What is it? Please tell us."

Augulas and the others were a little puzzled.

"How much resources did the Black Obsidian load this time?"

Iserin was not polite and asked directly. It wasn't that Iserin didn't have enough self-restraint, but this was something she had wanted to ask for a long time.

"A lot, it's already at full capacity."

Li Ruiqi explained to her.

Hearing this, Iserin lowered her voice and said to Li Ruiqi and the others, "We've known each other for so many years, so I won't beat around the bush. The Federation's current situation is not very good, and resources are still in short supply. And I'm stationed here, and I probably won't be able to go back for a few years. I hope that after you return, you can appropriately take care of Area O, so that I can reduce some worries. I know it's not appropriate to say this here, but I thought about it and still wanted to take this opportunity to say it."

Iserin's voice was very low, and normal people could not hear it.

But unfortunately, Su Mo's ears were sharp and he could hear clearly.

After hearing this, he didn't feel anything. On the contrary, he felt that this Vice-Chairman Iserin was quite good. At least she said what she meant.

Augulas and the others looked at each other and replied in a low voice.

"Don't worry, we know what to do."

"That's good."

Seeing them agree, Iserin's tense face relaxed.

"It's not very appropriate to chat here, Lord Iserin. We've prepared a reception banquet for you. How about we eat and chat?"

Li Ruiqi suggested very naturally.

"Okay, by the way, you can tell me about the specific situation here."

Iserin nodded in response.

.....

In the banquet hall, after Iserin and Augulas took their seats at the head table.

Su Mo and the others also followed and took their seats. Delicious dishes were brought up one after another.

While eating, Li Ruiqi asked Iserin.

"I heard that the internal area has been very chaotic this year, is that true?"

"It's more chaotic than you can imagine. Those imperial civilizations are more barbaric and aggressive than the other. They've caused a lot of trouble outside. In fact, the Federation had considered opening up in advance, but it was delayed by their interference."

Speaking of this, Iserin's face was a little gloomy.

"We'll take care of them later."

Augulas said in a deep voice.

"Actually, the most troublesome thing is not those empires."

Iserin said after pondering for a while.

"Then what's the most troublesome thing?"

Sperd asked in confusion.

"The most troublesome thing is the dregs that broke away from those empires, that is, the people they themselves are wanted for, and some people with ulterior motives. This group of people formed dark organizations and space pirates of different sizes, building a huge underground dark world. They are even more lawless."

Iserin said with a frown.
