Sky-cracking Rider

Chapter 923: Section 915 - Expansion Base



The ones responsible for movement, secrecy, and carrying resources were all present at once, and everyone was very pleased.

There is temporarily no need for someone to be in charge of fighting.

The thick nuclear winter clouds blocked the strikes from the Biological Space Mother Ship outside the atmosphere, and they probably won't dissipate for ten or eight years.

Unless these colossal beings directly enter the atmosphere, it will be hard to deal with Base One, which has already taken root on Emerald Star.

Even if they actually enter the atmosphere, the available constant star light source will be greatly reduced, and their combat power will drop directly to a lower level. Using one's weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths is not advisable.

Once the industrial technology tree of the Blue Star Civilization fully unfolds, quickly releasing war potential, the "Sagali" civilization may need to face a full-scale war of a magnitude no less than that of Blue Star if they want to retake Emerald Star, or be prepared to completely destroy the entire life planet.

The time temporarily staying at Base One on Emerald Star was only half an hour. Although they could stay longer, Chen Fei was more worried that the bridge content on Blue Star might reveal flaws the longer they stayed. What if Xiao Jiu suddenly refused to continue maintaining the Light-based Spell "Illusion Light Transformation"?

A large amount of supplies prepared in advance in the "Spatial Branding" was neatly stacked in the massive warehouse, weighing tens of thousands of tons, and the total volume even exceeded the maximum loading capacity of a giant battleship.

The main supplies were mainly electronic components and chemical raw materials; special resources obtained from the Abnormal Region of Giant Turtle Star, after processing, were also placed here. All were core components, and as long as the basic material supply was adequate, these supplies would be enough to build ten more such Base Ones of similar scale.

To open up Emerald Star, not only quality but also quantity is needed.

Nearly half of the total supplies stored in "Spatial Branding" were left on Emerald Star, which is not an exaggeration to describe as piling up like a mountain. With this, continuous large-scale basic industrial construction can be carried out, gradually filling every branch of the technology tree completely.

Even the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee, no one knows exactly how much supplies Chen Fei holds in his hands. However, Louis Landon, the president of the main sponsor Louis Industrial Company, and Chen Fei both had a tacit understanding. Such cooperation is not without benefits; Louis Industrial Company is also the most important resource absorption channel for Chen Fei. Many resources from the Abnormal Region, along with the gathered Emerald Star resources from this time, will be sent to Louis Industrial Company, converted into various products, and even returned to Chen Fei.

Time passed quickly.

As S-Class Superpower User Heseman Brown activated a Psi Skill, the figures of the three reappeared on the bridge of the Blue Star Giant Battleship, coincidentally overlapping with the illusion built by Xiao Jiu using Light-based Spells.

Confirming that the surrounding environment was the familiar bridge cabin, the three exchanged glances and all quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The first time stowawaying to Emerald Star, there were finally no mistakes.

"Tweet!"

Little Bird flew onto Chen Fei immediately, only half an hour apart felt like three eternities.

"'Adam,' start the Emerald Star interface."

Chen Fei ostentatiously summoned a new three-dimensional holographic projection interface.

As soon as the interface, which bears a high resemblance to "Colonizing Jade Star," appeared, Miyoshi Xuesen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Appearances can be deceiving, using truth to mask falsehood and vice versa, making it impossible to tell one from the other.

Even he had never noticed anything unusual all along.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he probably wouldn't have believed that this game interface was genuinely real-time operation, and every building, every vehicle, every mechanical being on it actually existed.

"Establish the sub-base plan; set up Base Two to Ten, and don't stop the double-track railway."

Chen Fei pointed continuously on the three-dimensional interface to confirm the location and construction parameters of the sub-bases. Each base had slightly different functions, which needed manual adjustment before official construction began.

Planning ahead by seeing three steps forward, expanding sub-bases is something that would happen sooner or later. Satellites had already been set up for remote sensing reconnaissance in advance, so now they were just waiting for Chen Fei's supplies to arrive.

The locally mined and smelted cement and steel rails were not lacking and did not need supplementary supplies from Blue Star, achieving self-sufficiency. Even though the sub-bases had not yet started construction, the two-meter-wide heavy rail double-track construction hadn't stopped, cutting through mountains and building bridges over water, extending farther and farther.

Centered on Base One, bases numbered from Two to Ten expanded in all directions, using railways to handle transportation needs among them, while road construction was minimal.

Long freight trains had multiple railguns mounted on both the front and rear sections and could summon tactical jets and troop transport warships for air-ground armed support at any time.

When near the bases, the large-caliber railguns could even be guided for bombardment from the distance.

The ten advance bases could cover 600,000 square kilometers of land, making the foundation rooted on Emerald Star even more solid.

The mechanical production lines were firing on all cylinders, with a production plan for ten million units, mainly responsible for defense and general tasks. In reality, combat tasks were minimal, but the demand for general tasks was the greatest. Without human involvement, these mechanical beings could only be relied upon to complete production and construction.

In addition to this, there was a continuous need to clean out Monsters and "Seed Nests." How could one rest easy with Monsters sleeping beside them? Without eliminating as many as possible, it's hard to rest assured.

The nuclear winter triggered by Tsar Plus only affected the surface "Seed Nests" and Monsters, but it's hard to know how many years the extraterrestrial races "Sagali" have been operating on Emerald Star, maybe ten thousand, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years. The number of "Seed Nests" spread throughout the entire planet might have proliferated like cancer cells, not just on the surface but potentially deep into the crust, and the true number is unknown, making one's scalp tingle just from thinking about it.

Relying on industrial technology, the advance bases are like "Seed Nests," with one being iron, the other flesh and blood, both capable of expansion and explosive growth, with combat mechs and Monsters mutually damaging each other. As long as weapons and ammunition are adequately supplied, combat mechs can completely gain the upper hand. As long as the core components are not severely damaged, other damages can be repaired or replaced with modular components to quickly restore combat power.

Regarding the conquest of Emerald Star, a new interface appeared again.

Massive supplies were shipped out from the warehouses and sent along the railroad to all locations.

Bases Two to Ten were each marked with progress bars to display the completion percentage.

Even without living facilities, the shortest completion time for each sub-base was estimated to take 30 days, with the longest taking 60 days. The construction of the first batch of sub-bases would be completed in two months, and this was under the condition that Chen Fei did not provide assistance.

If one could detach from Blue Star, Chen Fei could individually complete the construction of all nine advance bases in about half a month. Once reference structures were in place, the most time-consuming work would simply be replicating them for further development.

However, how could the Blue Star sovereignty possibly tolerate Chen Xiao'er swallowing the entire life planet alone? Who the hell gave you the guts, so it could only be done quietly.

A fierce operation like a fierce tiger, even Miyoshi Xuesen now had no way to continue sitting on the sidelines, sometimes unable to resist coming up with suggestions together, which led to many arguments between the two, resulting in red-faced and tense disputes.

Now, this is no longer a game, but a matter related to one's vital interests, and there is no way to tolerate Chen Xiao'er messing about with obvious non-viable hi-jinks.
