"What will your shelter look like?" How big will it be when it is built, and how many people can be accommodated? Councillor Asari immediately asked, and from Shen Chao's words, she heard a lot of confidence.

Combined with the success of Shen Chao's previous series of tasks, she is still willing to believe in Shen Chao's ability to do things. So she wanted to hear about the specific plan.

"The whole project will be more complicated, including a large military space station, a large fuel space station, a large hibernation facility and several underground urban ......."

"As a prototype, the final estimated capacity of the shelter is 100,000 people after the entire project is completed. However, the entire design is modular, so the capacity can be multiplied if needed. ”

Shen Chao told the main items in his plan one by one, and called up a few design drawings, there was no need to hide this, because he would soon purchase a large number of weapons and equipment and other materials, and it would not work without a name.

The reason why he did not directly use the Shadow Broker's resources to carry out the project directly was because some of these facilities were too technically demanding, and the Shadow Broker's resources were not enough to build some of the important facilities he requested.

"How do you deal with confidentiality?" Protheus has failed......" Councillor Asari mentioned the Protheus matter, and only one person in the entire hibernation facility has survived until now.

Now that the Reapers' hibernation facilities are 3,000 meters underground, and there are many indoctrination agents, where is the safe hiding place in the galaxy?

"The Protheans don't have our time to prepare, they start their hibernation plans in desperation, they don't have enough time to make all kinds of safety preparations,

And the direct cause of the leak in their hibernation facility was that some of the indoctrinated agents gave the location of the vault to the Reapers, and then they were discovered.

If they had enough time to prepare, maybe the one million Protheus would have lived to this reincarnation. Unlike them, we have time to prepare for safety. Avoid this qiē from happening..."

Shen Chao introduced the principles of the infrastructure construction period, and in order to safely borrow the manpower in this world to build various action bases for himself on the main plane, he formulated a set of principles.

To put it simply. First of all, the engineering staff will implement the principle of streamlining, and the number of engineers used in each phase of the project will be controlled within 20 to reduce the uncertainty caused by the number of people.

Second, they will carry out secret transportation to transport the engineers to the "unknown" sector. Along the way, the navigation modules on these multi-purpose tools were removed, and then when they arrived at their destination, the engineers were asked to arrange the construction without knowing their location at all.

"Okay. I have no objection in principle, Major, but I still need to inform the Council of your request, and I cannot guarantee that others will agree. ”

After listening to Shen Chao's introduction, Councillor Asari felt quite reliable, so he thought about it and agreed, anyway, Shen Chao's plan didn't ask her for any resources or financial support, since he was willing to try. She had nothing to object to.

There are so many ghosts in the council, and there is no shortage of him like this. Moreover, if you think about it further, no matter whether Shen Chao's plan succeeds or fails in the end, their race can learn from it. Why not.

"Thank you, Madam Councillor. I'll find a way to convince the other councillors. Shen Chao bowed slightly when he heard this, and showed a hint of a smile.

Through Guò Shadow Agent's intelligence network, he already has a lot of scandals or secrets in his hands, and he has dealt with the female Congressman Asari in front of him, who has no scandals, and the other parliamentarians will be much easier.

After convincing Congressman Asari, Shen Chao spent another day "persuading" several other lawmakers via video conference. After receiving permission from the council to move freely, he was finally able to safely begin his most important construction project.

Now, it's probably the only ghost in the galaxy that doesn't need to obey council restrictions at all, and on the day he got his free permission, he found a reason to fool the Federation.

He said that he was going on a new secret mission, and because of the precedent, he also got permission from Hackett to act.

After receiving permission from the Star Federation, he returned to the Budapest and immediately gave the order to his co-captain to set sail, and under his order, the Budapest quickly entered the repeater and jumped, leaving Arcturus quickly.

If the plan is to be qiē shun lì, then he will not be back here for a long time. After completing the first repeater jump, Shen Chao relinquished his command, and then went through the space-time door of the guò cargo warehouse and returned to the base to check the progress of the second base.

Although he was not there these days, the others were not idle, except for Custer, Roy, and Demien, who were responsible for holding Budapest with a team of soldiers, and everyone else was busy with new projects in the second base.

Under Shen Chao's previous arrangement, the second base is undergoing its third large-scale upgrade since its completion. The entire project was handed over to Hargrave to command, and the old man had commanded many large-scale projects, so he was naturally responsible for the upgrade and scheduling this time.

Although they will soon have an extraterrestrial main base, as an important fulcrum on the ground, the second base still needs to be preserved, so it needs to be completely upgraded in order to adapt to the next stage of development.

All kinds of materials and equipment they brought with them were used for this project, excavators, power generation equipment. Engineering Mecha ...... Various equipment originally designed to develop uninhabited planets with harsh environments was used in the upgrade program of the second base.

The first is the energy source to improve, and as mentioned earlier, they have brought a batch of mobile vehicle-mounted fusion reactors that generate far more electricity than any of their previous power generation equipment.

So as soon as they were transported back to the main plane, the equipment was put into use. One of their interstellar mining vehicles was the first to be put into service.

This armored vehicle-sized device sucks seawater directly into the sea through a guò conduit and then converts it into pure fresh water through a filter built into guò.

Subsequently, the on-board electrolysis device will separate the pure water into oxygen and light elements, and the oxygen will be discharged, and the hydrogen will be slowly converted into liquid hydrogen, which will be stored in high-pressure thermos flasks.

Then, all it takes is a person or a machine to bring these thermos, which look a bit like large bazookas, to the fuel compartment of the movable vehicle-mounted reactors, and then insert the corresponding grooves to complete the task.

Once you have completed the above steps, you just need to turn on the reactor and let the VI on board the device take over. Management VI is responsible for controlling the hydrogen fuel injection, ignition and a complete set of procedures.

For operation and maintenance personnel, this is a completely foolish operation, without any difficulties and uncontrollable dangers. As a result, they were able to easily increase their power generation capacity by tens of thousands of times that of the original base's power generation equipment.

Only these two pieces of equipment are needed to ensure the continuous generation of electricity, providing clean and stable power to the new superconducting power grid in the entire base. It can also support a large number of new devices.

These days, when Shen Chao is not there, they are able to use the electricity generated by these devices to stabilize the two space-time doors in the cargo hold of the Budapest. The purpose is to allow people to go back and forth between the base and the Budapest, rotating their work.

After returning to the second base, Shen Chao first found Hargrave, who was supporting the project, and learned about the progress of the project. The ongoing upgrades within the base are mainly civil engineering and defense systems.

They expanded the area again to ensure that the newly designated area could accommodate 2,000 people. This is what they need to decide for the next stage of recruitment, but the newly built residential area is not a villa with a good view of the sea.

The newly built building with a capacity of 2,000 people is a large barracks, located close to the real yàn building and the airport, built according to Starlink standards, and can quickly reach the airport and the originally demarcated training area.

After learning about the construction progress here, Shen Chao returned to the Budapest and went to the conference room on the 3rd deck to find Custer, he had been in Operation Arcturus for the past few days, and the important preparations for the next stage in the Mass Effect world were all done by Custer.

"Any "interesting" news? Shen Chao asked as soon as he came in, and found himself a sofa to sit on, Karst was just like when he left a few days ago, not far away dealing with the dense information window in front of him.

Shen Chao asked if anyone was trying to investigate them through the intelligence network of the shadow agent, after all, his appearance was a bit eye-catching during this time.

"There are several, but they are all known forces, and there are no unexpected investigations. Custer replied weakly, looking back. By this he meant that there was no sign of the Reaper's agents investigating them for the time being.

He has been staring at this information window for more than ten days, and everyone else can go back to the base for vacation through the space-time door of the guò warehouse, and he has to work every day, so he doesn't look in good spirits.

"Very well, so how are our supplies prepared?" How soon will it take to start building the space station? Shen Chao asked the important part.

After completing this material preparation, they will soon return to the main plane and build various new bases, a whole bunch of space stations. Entered a period of rapid development of the riot explosion base.

Therefore, the materials prepared this time are extremely critical, and if the preparation is slower than the progress, they will stay here for a long time.

"The initial materials have been basically in place, and the materials for the second and third phases are still in preparation. Here's the list, see for yourself. Custer said and sent an electronic document to Shen Chao's universal tool.

Shen Chao took a look at it after receiving the number, and according to the information on the list, their initial supplies had arrived at the target base and could be picked up at any time. A lot of supplies are being raised in the later stage.

There are many types of materials on the list, from light weapons and equipment to vehicles, to engineering construction equipment and various daily necessities. (To be continued.) )
