"Wait, I know you, aren't you the ghost of the Divine Citadel?" One of the Salareans asked in surprise as soon as he saw his face. He had seen Shen Chao in the news before.

After all, Shen Chao still did a lot of famous things a while ago, and for a few days, his pictures appeared in the news every day.

"Yes, sir. I'm a Castle Ghost. I'm so sorry that I had to kidnap you all here, but I don't have much choice. Allow me to explain why,

You've all been selected to assemble a large, top-secret military space station, and if it goes well, you'll be able to complete the entire project in two months, and you'll be sent home. Here is the power of attorney from the council......"

Shen Chao said as he took out the power of attorney he had struck from the Citadel Council, which was a full power of attorney signed by the Citadel Council to his requisitioners.

In the letter, the council authorized him to requisition from anywhere he needed to carry out the construction of his ***** without harming his personal safety.

The asterisk part is the blacked-out part of the text, and there are many similar blacked-out places in the whole text, and there are even blacked-out passages in the whole text.

Therefore, looking at this kind of abridged version of the text, I can't see what the specific project is. Only the signature and date on the last page of guò can be seen that this is indeed a document issued by the council, and that this is a highly confidential document.

"Where are we, and what month is Standard Time today?" One of the Salari engineers asked, alternating between looking at the text.

They were glad to know that they weren't kidnapped by pirates, but they didn't know what galaxy they were in or how far away they were from home......

"Sorry, guys, this is a top-secret plan, therefore. Throughout the duration of the project, you will not know exactly where you are in the galaxy or what time it is.

You will not be sent back immediately after the project is completed, but will be put into the hibernation pod again. It will be sent to the main sector after a certain period of time. This is for confidentiality reasons......"

Shen Chao briefly explained the basic safety regulations during the project, and in order to achieve the demonstration effect, they had formulated very strict safety regulations before.

Before the start of the project, the multi-purpose tools of all the engineers involved are carefully checked. And delete a navigation program that can be located with the starry sky, and the time is also reset to zero.

They will also follow a strict schedule throughout the subsequent operation. The works were carried out under the supervision of the soldiers. By doing so, they won't know exactly where they're doing their work when they're done and they're sent back to the Mass Effect plane.

After all, the Milky Way is so big that there are countless stars that look similar, and there are tens of thousands of giant planets in the known galaxy that look very similar to Jupiter.

These guys are trying to tell with the naked eye that this giant planet is the one in the solar system that is purely dreaming. What's more, the solar system in the Mass Effect world is very busy, and Jupiter happens to be in the main course there.

There are countless ships passing and going on Jupiter's course every day, and you can absolutely see it with the naked eye. On the main plane, they are the only starship here, so even if you kill these engineers, you can't imagine that they are in the solar system at this time.

After hearing him say this, several Salares first checked their multi-purpose tools, and sure enough, all star map navigation programs were deleted, and time was reset to zero.

See here. They exchanged heads again, discussing what to do, and Shen Chao did not stop the discussion. For these engineers, he wasn't prepared to unload the mill and kill the donkey, after all, he still needed these guys to return to the Mass Effect world alive and let the Council know that the first phase of his project was completed......

I have to say that the speed of the people in Sarari in front of them is really very fast, but in just ten seconds, these people have discussed it. and send a representative to ask questions.

"We knew it was an honor to be chosen. However, we wonder if it is possible to turn down the job? After the discussion, one of the slightly older Salarians asked on behalf of the others. There was no sense of honor on his face.

"Absolutely, the whole project can be completed by only 12 people. I have a waiver here, and if any of you sign it, I'll immediately send him back to the hibernation pod.

Once the project is complete, I'll arrange for the ship to send him and the others back to the Citadel or something. Shen Chao first gave an absolutely positive answer, he was not worried about anyone withdrawing. Thought he hadn't said the conditions yet.

"However, I strongly advise you to think carefully about this idea. Because everyone involved in the project will receive a basic service fee of 1 million Star Coins after the completion of the project, and if the project can be completed ahead of schedule, there will be additional rewards......"

Looking at the relaxed expressions of the engineers in front of him, he threw out the carrot of temptation. The price he offered was high enough, and it was by no means something that an ordinary engineer could earn in a short period of time.

Sure enough, after hearing his price, more than a dozen Salareans immediately straightened their eyes, although 1 million star coins was just a drop in the bucket for Shen Chao, who had received the shadow broker's property, it was not worth caring about.

However, in the galaxy, where the purchasing power of Star Coin is very strong, the value of this money is extremely high. Such a large sum of money is enough to buy a large house in a sub-prosperous area in a place like the Divine Castle with a high land price.

Normally, these engineers have to work hard for several years to receive such a large number of orders to get such a good pay, but now, a short-term project can get such a reward? No one can resist such a temptation.

"I'm joining, and I'm ......" A group of Salari engineers who had just wanted to shirk immediately rushed to participate in the project. None of them wanted to quit.

Compared to other powerful races, the Salares have a short lifespan, so they know how to seize opportunities, seize opportunities to work, seize opportunities to make money, and seize opportunities to enjoy......

Seeing this, Shen Chao smiled with satisfaction. The reason why he chose these Salares in the first place was because of their professional ability, the Salares had a short lifespan and would never let go of such an opportunity to make money.

For the next hour, he took the engineers to the conference room and gave them a brief overview of the entire project, the prefabricated parts that had arrived, and the tools they were able to provide.

After confirming the tools and drawings that the engineers needed, he arranged for the engineers to settle down on deck 7 and let them start working tomorrow.

The next day, the Salari engineers began their work according to the schedule they had just drawn up yesterday, and they spontaneously divided into 4 groups to work under the coordination of one of the most experienced engineers.

On the same day, they began the first step of assembly work with the small tugboat and engineering mechs they had received. Assemble the ring belt. It is worth noting that half of the prefabricated components used for the construction of the space station were used for the construction of the ring belt.

Although the structure and system of the entire space station are very complex, in general, its structure can be divided into four parts: the ring belt, the core area, the cross support channel and the mooring zone.

Due to structural and engineering requirements, they first assembled the ring section. Only after assembling it here can you start the other parts.

This is the main activity area of the space station, and the space inside is comparable to that of a medium-sized city. After the space station is completed, it will be the most densely populated and material-dense area.

When the engineers took over, it took only two days to assemble all the parts of the ring to form a ring with a diameter of 3.5 kilometers and a width of 200 meters.

The ring is 74 meters thick and more than 20 storeys high, with 12 living decks, each at least 5 meters high.

If you don't consider the floor area ratio, the living space inside the entire ring can easily accommodate millions of people. Of course, the actual living area is enough to accommodate up to 100,000 people to live and work here.

From the porthole of the Budapest, dozens of kilometers away, the newly assembled ring looks like a giant white ring. Revealing half of his body in the faint sunlight. It looks very aesthetically pleasing.

Of course, at present, this is only a superficial work, and it will take time to lay internal wiring and various pipes. Not to mention that the rest of the space station has not yet been installed.

After assembling the rings, the engineers did not go straight to laying the wires, explaining that it was the work after the final structure had been fully assembled.

After assembling the ring belt, they spent most of the day laying some seemingly useless rope lines in the empty space inside the ring belt as support lines for the later projects.

The support lines are made of the same material as the space ladder, each nearly 1 meter thick, and are laid entirely against tugboats. After being laid, these support lines form an inconspicuous cross inside the ring.

Over the course of the next week, the engineers completed the construction and assembly of the passage along the support lines, and a 40-meter-diameter pipe-like chamber appeared along the original support.

When completed, it will serve as a gateway between the ring and the core area, transporting energy. Cargo and people arrive at all corners of the entire space station.

After completing these "ancillary" parts, the engineers finally began the construction of the entire core area of the space station. The core area of the space station is located in the center of the ring belt and is a diameter of 700 meters. A giant flat cylindrical structure with a width of 200 meters.

This is the central area of the entire space station, the central control computer, the reactor, the main berthing port...... Most of the most important facilities on the space station are located here. Here are the brains and hearts of the entire space station.

This part of the assembly project took half a month, and various large components and precision equipment were installed one by one, and finally the assembly of the structural part was finally completed. (To be continued.) )
