These initial supplies include 8,400 brand-new security aircraft packed into boxes, 5,000 brand-new drones, 11,000 sets of Starlink standard infantry equipment, nearly 100,000 tons of military food, and 200 containers of daily necessities.

It sounds like a lot, but this is only a small part of the materials they have planned for this time, and their plan this time involves their development in multiple worlds in the future, which is the most important foundation for future development.

Therefore, the amount of materials that need to be prepared in the plan is very huge. Take, for example, munitions. Their total military material requirements originally included 200,000 humanoid security aircraft and 100,000 drones.

68,000 Starlink-standard primary infantry equipment, 400 Arcadia shuttles, 1,000 single starfighters, and 600 hammerhead chariots. In addition, there is a large amount of logistics support equipment and ammunition materials.

With this equipment and various logistical supplies, they were able to quickly wipe out the mutants from all over the world and assemble a sizable ground force in the world of I Am Legendary.

According to the establishment of the Star Alliance, after all these weapons and equipment are in place, they can equip up to 6 standard infantry divisions and 220 aircraft columns.

Such an armed force is enough to sweep away the vast majority of the low-tech world with overwhelming superiority. Once the construction is completed, the wishes of several of the previous teammates will be fulfilled in an instant. Therefore, everyone is very concerned about the progress of the implementation of this plan.

"Looks like we can go straight to pick it up, what do you say, man?" Shen Chao asked after reading the list of the first batch of supplies, their task at this stage was actually close to completion.

As long as they wait until all the supplies are in place, they can leave the Mass Effect world and go to other worlds to recruit troops and explode fleets.

"You're the captain, you decide. However I strongly recommend that we leave here early, I really need a vacation. Custer gestured to the panel in front of him that kept popping up the information window.

He's tired of sitting here all day playing the role of a shadow agent. There were no holidays at all for this job, and the workload was so heavy that he really didn't want to continue to rotate.

Shen Chao only expressed a slight sympathy for his plight when he saw Custer looking so pitiful. He then returned to the CIC, cancelled his original route to Omega and quickly arranged a new one.

According to this route, their latest destination is scheduled for a newly discovered galaxy called the Robert Abyss. It has only been a few years since this galaxy appeared on the Milky Way star map market.

The official exploration ship completed the initial exploration of the galaxy a few years ago. and opened a repeater that goes directly to this galaxy.

But. The results of the exploration are not encouraging, and the Robert's Abyss and the nearest star systems near it are "waste" galaxies with few resources and no habitable planets.

And because of the remote location. It's also very far from the main repeater routes, so few ships will enter the system and leave after a fruitless exploration.

Even the interstellar pirates disdained to base their raids here because the long range was not conducive to looting. So, from the point of view of mainstream development in the Milky Way, this is a very unsuitable galaxy for development.

But it is precisely because of the desolation that this system is an ideal place to conduct covert operations. No one needs it, no one cares about it, and that just means the protection of nature.

The previous Shadow Broker saw this, so he set up a secret storage base in the system. The base is a space station of no small size. It sits in the orbit of a desolate planet that looks somewhat like Mars.

This space station is one of the many material storage bases under the Shadow Brokers, and has previously served as a warehouse for valuable items, such as batches of refined Element Zero, artworks, and ...... and so on valuable items.

Because it was designed as a "vault" with a high degree of secrecy, the contractor of the project was "humanely destroyed" after completing the entire project. Shen Chao: They don't need people from other forces to find here for the time being.

Today, there are only two very reliable Shadow Brokers' senior informants who patrol the stockpiles and manage the stockpiles from time to time.

Peacetime. The operation and maintenance of the entire space station is basically carried out by the highly intelligent VI and various activated engineering and security machines. It's a completely unmanned space station.

After 6 repeater jumps, they finally found it, and the structure of the station looked similar to the Cerberus station that left Normandy at the beginning of F2, but on a slightly smaller scale.

After finding this place, Shen Chao first asked the Budapest to cruise at a low speed outside the range of the space station's defensive weapons, and then sent a long, multi-layered encrypted security code according to the scheduled boarding procedure.

After waiting for the VI on the space station to confirm the password and send back the confirmation code, Shen Chao asked the distribution group to quickly send the second set of passwords. A few seconds later, the second set of passwords was also examined.

Only then did Shen Chao feel at ease to let the Budapest approach the space station, and finally docked at the main berth, the safety protocols of this space station are very different from the mainstream civilian and military space stations.

A regular space station only has one set of security codes, which can be safely docked as long as they are entered correctly and approved by the space station, but here, the first set of security codes is just a stepping stone.

If you don't send the second correct password after getting the first set of confirmation messages, and stupidly drive the boat over to dock, then your good luck will come to an end.

The station's management VI activates all weapon systems on the entire station, and when the opponent is in range, it uses the powerful firepower of its 16 large close-in defense guns to turn the opponent into a pile of space junk.

Although the weapon system on this space station poses a limited threat to an advanced capital warship like the Budapest, Shen Chao has no idea of trying its firepower.

After docking, Shen Chao immediately sent a whole team of soldiers to disembark and search the entire space station first, and only after confirming that there was no one else did he let the whole team disembark.

Through the connection of the mooring passage, the whole group entered the space station, and unlike other space stations they had been to before, the interior space here was very empty, with only a few aircraft patrolling and loitering.

Guided by Station VI, they quickly found several cargo holds on the station and took some time to inspect their cargo.

At this time, the space was full of two warehouses, with a large number of weapons and equipment, building materials and engineering equipment, as well as other supplies they needed.

There is nothing to say about weapons and equipment, and it is not the first time that Shen Chao and them have expanded their arsenal. If you see a lot, you won't be surprised or shocked by the rows of weapons and the dense security planes.

But the building materials and engineering equipment are worth their research, because in addition to various weapons and equipment, there are also a large number of prefabricated parts for the space station.

Not those large space stations, but some components of space stations that are not designed to be on a small scale. These things can play a key role in their next stage of dimensional development. It may even be more useful than several planned large space stations.

For example, the cylindrical cabins with a diameter of 5 meters in front of you are the basic prefabricated components of the space station that have not yet been born, and are an important part of the space station.

More than half of the prefabricated components in the entire warehouse are exactly the same size and style. The other prefabs are of different sizes and shapes.

The length of these cylindrical prefabricated modules is about 20 meters, and the interior space is still very impressive, excluding the half-meter-thick cabin. It is much more spacious than the ISS on the main plane, and it also has an artificial gravity field.

All cabins are designed to be completely modular, with each of these cabins having its own power and life support systems.

It can also be connected to other systems when connected to other cabins or functional chambers, and these systems can be connected to strengthen the capabilities of the entire system.

The modular design allows the modules to be freely combined, somewhat like the ISS on the main plane, but with far more functional modules to choose from, and there won't be as many obtrusive solar panels as they are built.

Back to Arcturus, just when Shen Chao and the others received various strategic materials, the negotiations on Arcturus also came to an end.

Under the common fear of the Reapers, on the one hand, the governments of various countries have accelerated various discussions in Arcturus, and on the other hand, they have begun to prepare for the public disclosure of Javik.

The symbolism of a living Protédem is too heavy, whether it is political or military, at this stage, the Star Federation is still blocking the news according to the requirements of the council, but they can't block the news forever.

After several more days of intense discussions, the leaders' summit finally made the decision to announce the Reaper threat, followed by a few more days for the governments to prepare government agencies and deploy troops.

Finally, 12 days after Javik woke up, and Shen Chao and the others had just transported the first batch of strategic materials back to the main plane, the council representatives held a press conference in the colony of Arcturus.

Speaker of the Executive Council of the Star Alliance, Commander-in-Chief of the Fleet. Captain of the Touareg Chief, Member of the Assari Councillor, Supreme Administrator of Salare......

The launch was attended by the supreme leaders and military leaders of several of the most powerful races in the galaxy. Military and political leaders of other ethnic groups also attended this epoch-making press conference via remote meetings or plenipotentiary representatives.

The press conference was presided over by Hackett, which was decided after a long discussion by the bigwigs in the previous meeting, on the grounds that Hackett was the commander of the Battle of Citadel.

He is recognizable, his position is high enough, and more importantly, people of all races in the galaxy see him as reminiscent of the first victory over the Reapers during the Battle of the Citadel.

At the press conference, Hackett calmly explained the Reaper's threat to the thousands of media outlets who attended, showing off their previous intel and the latest evidence: a Protse. (To be continued.) )
