Chapter 1007 542: Puluo State's Capital (Please Vote for Monthly Tickets)

When having hot pot, Chuuni didn't eat much because he was in a very heavy mood.

Now that he heard from Li Qi that the war was over, Chuuni was hungry and he wanted to invite Li Qi to have a barbecue.

Yuezhou has many barbecue shops operating until dawn, Chuuni chose a familiar place, got a private room, dishes were served, and Chuuni took out a Spiritual Object to isolate sound.

"Bureau Chief Li, thank you for saving me." The fool finally remembered to express his gratitude.

Li Qi didn't mind: "I didn't come specifically to save you, you're not the only one concerned about this war."

Chuuni was surprised: "Bureau Chief Li, you come to Ruirong Textile Factory every day?"

Li Banfeng nodded.

Chuuni sighed: "Bureau Chief Li, do you think I am particularly foolish?"

Li Banfeng shook his head: "What you did wasn't wrong, it's just that this matter wasn't quite in line with the rules of the Outside Provinces."

Chuuni was somewhat troubled: "I really don't understand what the rules here are, given that we have such strong combat power, why are we still sent to fight whenever there's a Dark Force case?

To be honest, the combat power of the Dark Star Bureau makes me feel awkward, tactics are rigid, and lack practical experience, the fighting ability is limited,

since we can handle a war within a few minutes, why is there a need to have the Dark Star Bureau, an institution that makes people feel awkward?"

Li Banfeng said: "Because different events require different levels of methods to deal with them, this is the basic rule of the Outside Provinces,

being able to handle a war within a few minutes requires having an accurate information source, investing a lot of manpower and resources, making a meticulous combat plan, and preparing for unexpected situations within the war,

if a Domestic Silkworm pops up in the textile factory tomorrow, we also need to prepare for war, the economic base of the Outside Provinces cannot support such huge consumption."

Light Bulb smiled bitterly: "Bureau Chief Li, you also know about the textile factory's Domestic Silkworm case?"

Li Banfeng nodded: "I have read the security inspection files, this is your first case, well done, much better than Light Bulb's first case."

Light Bulb's first case was tracking Li Banfeng, and all his efforts were wasted on two sticks of spicy strips.

Chuuni lowered his head: "Actually, now that I think about it carefully, that case was very embarrassing."

"Not embarrassing, perhaps Chen Changrui's evaluation of you isn't high, but for the Outside Provinces as a whole, the completion situation of your team already meets their standards for handling such events, because you solved the problem with limited manpower and resources."

Chuuni shook his head: "I think our problem-solving ability is not even as good as unmanned drones."

"That depends on how many drones there are, Ruirong Textile Factory exhibited some physical characteristics not supposed to exist in the Outside Provinces, electromagnetic signals were severely disturbed inside the textile factory, to accurately control drones, it would require a large investment, and to ensure the drones complete tasks, there must be sufficient numbers,

facing the enemy, indiscriminate attacks can be conducted, facing hostages, targeted rescue must be undertaken, these factors mean higher investment costs, probably several orders of magnitude higher, you can't handle security issues with warfare methods, you can't use high-level methods to deal with low-level events, these are the rules of the Outside Provinces."

Chuuni was very surprised: "Bureau Chief Li, you are from Puluo State, you just arrived not long ago, yet you understand the rules so clearly."

Li Banfeng did not answer, if he had lived in Yuezhou continuously, and stayed there for twenty more years, he wouldn't see the direction of the rules clearly.

After going to Puluo State, comparing two completely different rule systems, would one see the differences between them.

Chuuni felt somewhat lost: "Under such rules, it seems I've become a problem."

Li Banfeng made a metaphor: "The Outside Provinces are like a fortress, when fighting on home ground and fully prepared, almost invincible, but if any link is not sufficiently prepared, it could cause the collapse of the whole situation,

this has resulted in the Outside Provinces being good at fighting when prepared, but not good at dealing with sudden situations, you have the capability to handle sudden situations, you also possess the ability to protect this world, this is something to be proud of."

Chuuni laughed: "When I first joined, did Bureau Chief Li also know the silly things I said?"

Li Qi nodded: "I know, the bureau knows, that's not silly talk, it's dreams and ambition."

With the food almost finished, Chuuni remembered something: "Bureau Chief Li, you just said the issue of signal transmission accuracy could be rectified by increasing the number of drones, but at Ruirong Textile Factory, the detonation of explosives was also restricted, the explosion that was akin to an earthquake just now, was it also overcome by increasing the quantity of explosives to tackle the limitation of detonation probability?"

"Probably so." Li Banfeng wasn't certain.

The explosion just now, its power was so astonishing, duration was so long, Li Banfeng even doubted it wasn't caused by explosives.

The method of controlling drones, is it really using quantity to increase tolerance? This was just Li Banfeng's inference.

No matter what method, the technology of the Outside Provinces has broken through the limitations of Ruirong Textile Factory, will they break through Puluo State's restrictions next?

If they can break through the electromagnetic and explosive restrictions in Puluo State, how should Puluo State respond?

Chuuni asked another question: "The Outside Provinces are a fortress, strong in combat capability, but poor in dealing with unexpected situations, what about Puluo State?"

He holds longing for Puluo State, genuine longing.

But this question Li Banfeng found hard to answer.

What is the situation in Puluo State?

Puluo State is a heap of scattered sand.
