The journey back was not as dull as it had been when they had set off, and on the plane, the soldiers who had been like stuffy cans when they had left a week earlier were now able to let go of their talk.

They talked excitedly about what they had seen and what they had bought, food, clothing, furniture, weapons, luxury goods...... They buy a lot of miscellaneous things.

Some soldiers are obsessed with special food, so they buy a lot of food, some buy a lot of furniture to settle in the second base, and many more buy a lot of weapons they like.

Their different choices fully prove that even a seemingly one-person group like the soldiers is actually different for each individual.

Their ideas, dreams and tastes are very different, and once the heavy psychological burden is removed, they are not much different from ordinary people emotionally.

On the way back, Shen Chao also chatted with the previous separated soldiers, these guys were much more interesting than when they left, looking at the smiles on their faces, Shen Chao knew that he had succeeded.

This holiday made the soldiers realize that they themselves are now free people, and also made some of them deeply aware of the other side of the peaceful façade of the outside society.

Eventually, they will realize that joining the expedition is the best option for them. The reason why Shen Chao spent so much time to help them experience this kind of life was for this.

Let the soldiers understand who they are, they are no longer soldiers who serve indefinitely, but a free man. This is very important because there is no place for slaves in their future organizational structure, and everyone must be a free man.

Because only free people will continue to improve themselves for their dreams, and can adapt to all kinds of great changes in their rapid development in the future.

Back on the island, they waited at the airport for another hour until all the planes from different places landed and everyone returned.

Like Shen Chao's team of soldiers, the other teams of soldiers are also having a lot of fun these days, and they all brought back a lot of "trophies".

At the airport, all the soldiers lined up as if they were leaving. Wait for Shen Chao to fulfill the last part of his promise. Shen Chao didn't waste everyone's time, and read out the lines that had been prepared a long time ago.

"Soldiers, you all enjoyed your vacation. I've fulfilled my promise. Now is the time for you to choose.

Next, each of you is staying and joining my expedition. Or leave. It's your choice to find your own new life. No one can decide for you.

If anyone decides to leave, we will give him an interest-free loan and help him get the necessary skills training. so that you can successfully live in the outside world.

If you still have doubts, ask your neighbors if one of their friends lives out of the world right now. You can refer to her example. ”

Shen Chao said that the neighbors he was talking about here were several replicants who lived in the same area as them, and he gave the example of Zola, the female replicant they brought from the world of Blade Runner.

With the help of Shen Chao's agents. The female replicant found her new life after leaving Base 2 and is now living in Hawaii as a nurse at a local hospital. He is in the process of obtaining his medical license.

The intelligence and physique of the replicant, coupled with her own efforts, allowed her to master a large amount of new knowledge in only a short period of time, and she was doing quite well.

The female replicant was very trustworthy, never told any of her new friends about her true origins, and she had a fairly close relationship with several other replicants in Base 2.

Shen Chao came up with this successful case very convincingly, and several of the soldiers had seen her "accidentally" when they were still on vacation, so they knew that Shen Chao was telling the truth.

"You have one night to think about it, disband......" Shen Chao ended his speech. He didn't need to say anything more.

The soldiers were a very close-knit group, and one night was enough time for them to exchange their experiences and make rational choices.

The next day, when they assembled again at the airport, the soldiers had already made their choices. When Shen Chao asked about their choice, none of the soldiers stood up and left, and they all chose to stay.

Shen Chao knew that in fact, the soldiers had gathered together for several heated discussions all day yesterday. Among them, there are more than a dozen soldiers who really want to move to live outside.

But as Todd told Shen Chao before, these soldiers who grew up together are like brothers. No one will leave the rest of the soldiers alone.

Therefore, after a fierce integration of opinions and statements, in the end, the minority obeyed the majority, and all the soldiers decided to stay.

Among them, more than a dozen soldiers who had left the team to visit alone played an important role, and their stories of the journey made many soldiers who wavered in their opinions decide to stay in the expedition.

"Welcome to your official joining, soldiers, from today onwards, you will be a member of the expedition......" Shen Chao said as he opened the universal tool and changed the term of Class B permissions for all soldiers to indefinitely.

Previously, the soldiers had been granted access to the island's security system for a period of one month, but now three weeks have passed, and if the soldier decides to leave, he will soon lose his security privileges on the island.

After the soldiers officially joined the expedition, Shen Chao announced the new system they had prepared long ago. The so-called new system is about the welfare and vacation-related arrangements for all expedition members.

Due to the increase in numbers, the expedition could no longer think of what to do as before, and they needed some basic systems in order to keep everyone in the best possible physical and mental condition.

The new system is a series of daily training and vacation arrangements. The training part refers to the original expedition team, and the arrangement is very floating, and the soldiers can freely arrange their own daily training.

The reason for this is that the situation they have to deal with is not the same every time, and the training required to deal with the dangers of different worlds is also different.

In addition to training, all that remains is the arrangement of vacations, and the six squads of soldiers will implement a rotation system, and each team will have a week's vacation every month during non-mission periods.

During the holidays, they are free to leave the island and go out on vacation to enjoy life. This arrangement ensures that at least 4 squads are available on the island at all times.

Of course, the soldiers had just taken a week's leave, so a new cycle of leave would begin in a month's time. Shen Chao's arrangement made the soldiers very satisfied.

They had all tasted the sweetness of a free life, it was impossible to prevent them from leaving the island, and a week's vacation a month was acceptable to all soldiers.

After arranging these, Shen Chao let them disband and freely arrange their lives for the next day. He wasn't worried at all that these guys would be lazy because of this.

Physical and tactical training has long been part of the instinct of these soldiers, and even if they don't have any orders from anyone, they will arrange their own training to maintain their fitness level.

And now, after the previous booster injections, their physical fitness has improved significantly, and it only takes a few more months to reach the limit level of human beings.

As Shen Chao expected, after he announced his disbandment, the soldiers went to train in groups. In the evening, Shen Chao gathered them together and entered the conference room.

Now it's time for them to know the next stage of the plan, because the soldiers have not officially joined the expedition before, so Shen Chao has not talked about the next stage of the crossing plan.

The new phase of the plan has been greatly revised, because the increase in tolerance has given them more choices. There are many goals that they couldn't achieve before, but they have a basis for accomplishing them in the short term.

Now the number of combat and support personnel of the expedition has exceeded 100. With a small amount of preparation, they can return to the world of Mass Effect and bring back all the loot.

Especially the battleship, with these soldiers, Shen Chao will be able to bring back his battleship in the Mass Effect World, and then there will be no force in the main plane that can challenge their existence.

Shen Chao spent nearly an hour in the conference room telling the soldiers about the plan for the next stage, and the reason why it took so much time was because there were so many tasks and objectives in the next stage.

Not only the Mass Effect plane, but also several planes with advanced aerospace technology that need to be visited, so Shen Chao needs to explain the cause and effect in detail.

In general, one of the most important objectives of all the missions is to bring the battleship back and arrange the construction plan of the extraterrestrial base. If you are a good person, the long-established plan for a lunar base will soon be ready to start.

After the meeting, the soldiers' faces were relatively heavy, because in their opinion, the plan formulated by Shen Chao was too complicated and too wide, and many tactical goals were difficult to achieve.

However, the next day, they all changed their minds, because Shen Chao distributed the Chinese version of the nano suit to each of them and let them all try it out. These nanosuits do not have an armored version, nor do they have a tactical module with integrated sonar goggles.

The reason why there is no armored version is because Hargrave said that this is only a real technology, and at least it will have to be tested in actual combat before it can be added to other nanosuits.

Therefore, the soldiers' nanosuits were only replaced with fission batteries, which increased the power by a hundred times, and added a primary shield generator.

In this way, the tactics of the soldiers can be greatly strengthened, and these already outstanding soldiers become unstoppable. At least this level of equipment can be quite easy to face the main plane army.

After trying out the nano suit, the soldiers no longer doubt Shen Chao's plan, with this powerful equipment, the combat effectiveness of each of them can be multiplied, and many tactical problems will no longer exist.
