Wendini Planet, Fortress of Boton.

The word Bolton is an allusion to a small town on a hill in English, and its meaning is just right for the hilly terrain where the fortress is located. Its predecessor was actually the H-1 military fortress built during the Federation's possession of the planet Wendini.

After Robin reached an agreement with the Central Computer of the Republic to establish the planet Wendini as a special district of the Republic, the Federation's original method of possession based on plundering resources has been completely abandoned. As a result, the rudimentary, single-purpose forts and garrisons were no longer sufficient for future development, and with the arrival of large numbers of freedmen, Republic immigrants, and federal refugees, the population of the planet Wendini was increasing, making the construction of cities a priority. The Fortress of Boton was born, a transitional semi-military fortress, and as the prototype of the future capital of the planet Wendini, it continued to expand the city area.

With the H-1 military fortress as the core, Bolton City will annex several nearby settlements, including the H-3 station, to create a huge megacity based on the Martian city of Wald.

The current construction progress is still far from this goal, but for now, nearly seven million people live in the area. Nearly seventy percent of them are free people who migrated from the Ultra Nebula, and the continuous flow of immigrants from the Republic has also made the Republicans account for two percent of the population, and the remaining ten percent or so are from the federal refugees in Proxima Centauri who migrated here to escape the war.

With 7 million people on the ground, the labor required for construction is already very abundant, and the continuous flow of construction equipment and supplies from the Republic makes the progress of urban construction almost every day several kilometers outward. The original H-1 military fortress has also changed its appearance, and as far as the eye can see, you can only vaguely see that the monolithic building in the center still looks like a rare fortress, and as for its surroundings, it has long been occupied by dense factories and civilian buildings. Even the blue sky of Planet Wendini has now turned as crimson as Martian City Walder under the effect of the large canopy. The planet Wendini, the glimmering star, is no longer shrouded in night, and the lights of thousands of lights in the city are gradually eroding the original mysterious blue, and gradually encroaching on the vast primeval forest, creating a steel jungle that belongs only to humans.

At this moment, standing in the central command room at the highest point of the original H-1 military fortress, Robin looked at the brightly lit city and the dark red sky above with a little loneliness.

"You seem to be a little upset?"

Perhaps noticing the vaguely lonely look on Robin's face, Cecilia stood beside him and asked with concern.

"No...... It's just a little weird......" Robin shook his head with a wry smile.

Inside, Robin yearns for nature and loves freedom. So he loved the original planet Wendini, which was full of forests and strange creatures, and he still hasn't forgotten the shock he felt when he first saw the tapir. The reason why he chose to become an infantryman was precisely because of the disgust he had in his heart for the city.

However, as a leader, he knows very well that if human beings want to develop and live on a different planet full of high levels of radiation, then cities are the best protection for human beings. Under the protection of the city canopy, humans can breathe the oxygen needed by the body without wearing any auxiliary breathing tools, and the high radiation that will cause great damage to the body will also be isolated by the canopy, and those aggressive giant alien creatures will also be completely expelled, so that ordinary civilians who do not have strong combat capabilities can live in the city with peace of mind, without worrying about being dragged out of their houses by some ferocious animal when they sleep at night.

It is human nature to modify the external environment, which is perhaps inherent in all social intelligent life. But Robin didn't like this trait, and for some reason, he always felt that human beings' total dependence on the protection of the city was actually a manifestation of evolutionary regression.

"Was it influenced by that woman? I would think of such a thing as evolution......" Letting go of the inexplicable thought in his head, Robin struggled to get the figure out of his mind.

"Robin, the meeting is about to begin."

While Robin was still bothered by his own inexplicable sadness and strange thoughts, Zolo, dressed in military uniform, walked in to inform Robin that the meeting was about to begin.

"Yes, got it." Robin shook his head vigorously to fully sober himself and walked into the main conference room, accompanied by Zolo and Cecilia.

The main conference room was expanded from the confidential conference room of the original H-1 military fortress, and after the central computer extension was placed on the "Assembly" frigate, the main engine room of the H-1 fortress as the core of the city was also converted into a data terminal, so that the current city of Bolton began to adopt electronic automation facilities on a large scale like the republic, and this important meeting arranged in the main meeting will also be carried out under the supervision of the central computer.

At this moment, when I walked into the conference room and took a seat in the main seat, an electronic touch screen immediately turned out on the desktop. Some unfamiliar input personal permissions, a series of meeting outlines and various data suddenly appeared in the three-dimensional screen, which can be consulted by Robin at any time during the meeting. The bottom column of the three-dimensional screen is blank, and this column shows the audit results of the central computer, which means that from now on, every decision in the Robin meeting needs to be reviewed and approved by the central computer before it can be officially implemented.

This pattern of having to be reviewed for every decision is quite foreign to Robin, who has become accustomed to the mode of making decisions on his own since leaving the Marseille Space Fortress for an expedition to the Ikober Ring. As it does now, every decision needs to be made under the supervision of a central computer, which undoubtedly makes Robin feel very uncomfortable. However, he also knew that after returning to the republic, this kind of central computer supervision was inevitable, so he could only forcibly hold back the awkwardness in his heart and wait for the meeting to start.

As the time of the meeting approached, the main person in charge of the affairs of Planet Wendini arrived in the conference room one after another. In the vacant seats, the remote connection mode has also been turned on, connecting the main leaders in the spaceyard and the autonomous region of the Ultra Nebula in a three-dimensional visualization to participate in such important meetings by sending instant messages.

This was the largest meeting since Robin took charge of the fleet, and many of them were old subordinates who had been with Robin for a long time, but there were also many republican officials and administrators who had just recently arrived on the planet Wendini, plus those who participated in the meeting through three-dimensional imaging, the total number of people in this meeting was close to 100. At this moment, after all the seats were seated in the conference room, a grand atmosphere suddenly shook Robin's spirits.

"I am Robin, the Executive Officer of Wendini District and the Commander of the Freedom Fleet of the Patriots, and I am currently entrusted with the overall military and political affairs of Wendini and Barnard Systems under the mandate of Central Computer. Here, on behalf of all the officers and men of the Patriotic Free Fleet, I would like to welcome all my colleagues to join us."

Since many of you had never worked with Robin before, Robin began the meeting by introducing himself and saluting all the military and political officials present.

'Huh~'

After Robin's salute, everyone present returned the salute in a standard military standing posture and shouted in unison: "It's a great honor to work with you."

After bowing slightly, Robin took his seat. After opening the meeting outline, click on the first item in the first place.
