Of course, their purpose was not to produce any kind of humanoid warplane, although the expedition team now had a variety of models of humanoid mechs obtained in multiple planes, and in some simulated combat trials, certain models of humanoid mechs with vehicle-level shield generators installed were better in urban warfare simulations.

Sometimes, some skilled pilots are even able to achieve incredible transcendent feats in simulations with mechs. But for the current Space-Time Council, they still purely want to use mecha as an all-terrain adaptable construction machine.

To put it simply, the mecha production line they are preparing is essentially an interstellar era excavator! As for the excavator technology, which one is stronger? This kind of problem is not on everyone's mind at this time......

"Trying to put the jump engine on the ship so early, you really have confidence in the talent you have cultivated. Just when Damien was thinking about the gains and losses of this modification, Shen Chao suddenly appeared beside him and commented.

Shen Chao had expected that Damien would wait a while before he underwent the major surgery to transplant the engine after getting his authorization, after all, the jump engine was a completely new technology for them. Although everyone was itchy, they were not ready to use it immediately.

And such a large-scale transformation of a warship is equivalent to a thoracotomy operation on an ordinary person, and if one is not careful, the patient will die on the operating table. Brought in here, a small assembly accident can turn the Songhu, which is lying in the dock for engine transplantation, into a wrecked ship.

Although most of the maintenance personnel in the current fleet were trained by Damien himself, they had never touched such an engine before. With their level at this time, it is still too dangerous to do a warship renovation project of this scale without any transition, and it is no wonder that Damien did not dare to arrange for the Budapest to be an experimental product.

As the flagship of the fleet and the core of combat power, the Budapest carries the expectations and personal feelings of too many people. Other people don't say it, if this real yàn is done on the Budapest, it's okay if it succeeds, and if it fails, let the ship lie down, I'm afraid that Shen Chao will be the first to find Damien to fight hard.

"No, I'm not confident, I just have to. Captain! Damien replied with a little helplessness. As the general head of the fleet. Many times he had to carry responsibilities that were not his own.

He could have arranged the ship as someone else's ship or simply found a transport ship to test the waters, but he abandoned these ideas given his stern reputation among the civilian-born members of the fleet.

As for saying that he had to do it, it was about his personal ambitions. The speed at which the Space-Time Council has grown and expanded is obvious to all. Although it is a relatively slow period of development. However, the number of organizations in subordinate institutions continues to grow exponentially.

Many newcomers have no idea what their boss, Demien, is capable of. This creates some centrifugal forces within the fleet's chain of command. Now many times, the fleet is still led out by Shen Chao himself, which weakens Damien's sense of existence even more.

In order to brush out a sense of saving zài for yourself. More importantly, to eliminate the centrifugal forces within the command system, Damien is also actively preparing a series of personal missions while adjusting the command structure, preparing to consolidate his position through Guò's achievements and resources in the heterogeneous plane.

After all, the interior of the expedition is a place where record is king, and the value of each member of the expedition is defined by his record in the alien plane. But that's not to say that the more people you kill on the Otherworld, the more respected you are!

On the contrary, in the current mainstream mission, the expedition advocates the use of non-violent means to solve problems. After all, jobs like buying supplies and recruiting people from different planes rarely come across situations that require the use of force.

Of course, large-scale material and talent gathering will inevitably require the use of force. At present, the most scarce resources needed by the expedition team are in some planes with relatively high danger to develop interstellar civilizations.

To gather enough resources and technical talent in that dangerous plane, he must have a ship that can run fast. That's why he's willing to take great risks to have his ship as a real ship with a jump engine.

Damien plans to embark on a difficult cross-plane talent and resource gathering mission with the jump engine installed, as a way to prove his ability to lead expeditions and lead fleets in cross-dimensional operations.

Shen Chao and Damien observed the important installation process here, which took almost 10 hours, and changed 3 waves of technicians to operate the mecha in order to carry out delicate operations.

Unlike the replacement of the engine of a family car, the connection accuracy required for the replacement of a jump engine is too high. In the end, there was only one chance for hard access, so most of the 10 hours were spent on precise alignment of positions and preparation for access.

Eventually, after 10 hours of unremitting efforts, the jump engine was finally safely connected to the custom base, and so far, the integration has been good. This news is very exciting, but for Shen Chao, this qiē can only be regarded as the first step in the long march of thousands of miles.

Once the engine is carefully pushed into the mounting position by the mech, there is basically nothing to see. The rest of the work was fine-tuning by the technicians in the spacesuits and the system software was expected to take several weeks to access and calibrate.

After determining that the most dangerous step of the jump engine porting had passed, Damien breathed a sigh of relief. Shen Chao congratulated him and walked away. After leaving Damien, he inspected several key areas of the Lower Zero space station before returning to the 01 living quarters to rest.

The 01 living quarters on Space Station Zero are populated by the official members of the expedition. This is one of the highest security programs on the entire space station, and the reactor is on the same level as the central control room.

Shen Chao rested here for a day, and then went to a ground base of the Legendary Plane to find Sister Xue. After joining the expedition, Sister Xue accessed a large number of action materials from various planes, and after joining the expedition, Shen Chao directly gave Sister Xue A-level security permissions, so she was able to access almost all the action information of the expedition.

As the person with the highest authority in the entire security system, Shen Chao knew what information she had checked. Like all new recruits with great ambitions, Sister Xue is looking for information on the most dangerous and potentially rewarding Category A and above planes.

Sister Xue has consulted the most information on one of the high-risk 093 planes, needless to say, she has set her sights on this new exploration plane full of dangers. Shen Chao could understand her feelings, one step to the sky was the result that everyone wanted, but their exploration process in many high-tech planes had proved one point, that is, the greater the benefit, the deeper the danger.

Shen Chao led the team into several Class A planes, but only found a good entry point in the Mass Effect plane and obtained considerable benefits, and in the other planes, they either pretended to be businessmen and bought some technical achievements they needed to flash directly, or they found that the opposite side was a war zone, and they led the team back directly without doing anything.

Although he was very confident in Sister Xue's survivability, he was still ready to find out what Sister Xue had in her personal thoughts. If she insists on going to a high-risk position like the 093 plane to interview for water, Shen Chao is estimated to have to persuade her.

When he found Sister Xue at the shooting range of the base, the other party was testing the gun, this is a shooting range in the desert, several rows of shooting positions are on the slope of a hill about 800 meters above sea level, and there are a large number of various targets arranged far and near at the bottom of the mountain, the farthest is 12 kilometers away! These were designed to accommodate the expedition's intricate arsenal of weapons from all planes.

At this time, Sister Xue was adjusting the sights of her weapons at a shooting position, and there were more than a dozen weapons of different models and even different killing principles beside her. At this time, she was trying them out one by one, and it seemed that she was going to choose her own personal equipment.

"Try this particle beam rifle, it's our own new product......" Shen Chao walked over and picked up a particle beam rifle that imitated the Proxian rifle, this weapon expedition team can now manufacture in small batches and equip it with limited equipment for its own team members, and the reputation is good.

"I've already tried it, the handguard is too short to be adjusted, and I can't increase the magnification sight......" Sister Xue didn't seem surprised by his visit, and directly gave Shen Chao a bad review of the weapon recommended.

"Don't be too quick to evaluate, this is not a weapon for long-distance combat......" Shen Chao felt a little embarrassed when he heard Sister Xue give him such a merciless bad review of the standard equipment that he was very optimistic about. He is still very optimistic about this particle beam weapon.

As one of the few individual weapons developed and produced by the expedition team, this particle beam rifle is still very good in terms of lethality and average number in all aspects, especially for all kinds of shields, which is quite good and can recharge itself.

Unlike Prothean Particle Beam weapons, which fire with a visible beam, their Particle Beam Rifle fires with a very low sound and does not produce visible light. It is a great mid-range weapon for expeditions that often face unknown enemies.

"You're not here to talk to me, I can see it, say, what's the matter?" Sister Xue didn't go around in circles with Shen Chao, put down the weapon in her hand, sat on the side and directly asked Shen Chao about his intentions.

"You've read a lot of information about Plane 093, and I'm here to advise you not to rush into arranging an adventure there. Shen Chao saw that Sister Xue was no longer hiding what she said, and directly said that she couldn't let Sister Xue take risks now.

As a person with A-level clearance, Sister Xue and other teammates who also have A-level clearance can theoretically pass through any open space-time gate without notification, of course, if Shen Chao opposes it, that's another matter. (To be continued......)
