There are people in charge of the construction of the orbital station, and there are also people who are responsible for managing the operation, so Chu Jungui didn't need to stay in the orbit more, so he returned to the planet's surface. Since the Federation is not going to appear for a while, he just uses this time to plan for the future.

Judging from the battle report obtained by Lin Xi, the situation of the Ninth Fleet is becoming more and more unfavorable. It's not that they didn't fight well enough, on the contrary, a group of cutting-edge captains like Lin Xi appeared in the Ninth Fleet, and they fought vigorously, and for a while they actually stalemate with the Federation Fleet, which had absolute superiority.

But on the other hand, the material and energy reserves of the Ninth Fleet are also declining rapidly, and the combat readiness materials are no longer enough to last for a month. Retreat is a matter of time, and it is impossible to really wait for the materials to bottom out, and then the withdrawal will not be able to continue.

At this time, Chu Jungui's two bases on Planet 4 began to show their importance. Now the combined production capacity index of the two bases has exceeded the 100,000 mark, which means that as long as Chu Jungui is willing, he can build thousands of garbage-level chariots in one day. If in the era when mankind had just stepped out of space, this was already the production capacity of the superpowers. Even in the 35th century, it was not low in terms of a single base.

However, Chu Jungui was still not satisfied, and was ready to continue to enlarge. Anyway, the base capacity can be increased by 25% every three days, and it can be more than doubled after 12 days.

The base with a production capacity of 200,000 is called industrial power, and now it can only be called the industrial revolution. In the planning of the test subject, only when the production capacity of one million is exceeded can it be qualified to call itself a large industry.

Chu Jungui didn't dare to underestimate Brother Dao at all, this guy himself was powerful and quite cunning, and he had absorbed the experience and wisdom of many Federation warriors, and he had a production capacity similar to a biochemical factory, which was quite difficult.

Chu Jungui did not intend to compete with it in biotechnology and quantity, and was only ready to crush the past with the power of steel and gunpowder. His bottom gas is the grain power furnace, and with energy there is everything.

A historical figure from the era of the home planet said that if he was given enough power furnace, he could smelt the home planet into steel.

Chu Jungui couldn't remember who said this, anyway, he felt that it made sense.

In addition to the expansion of production capacity, the development between the two bases has become more and more unbalanced, and all important production and scientific research forces have been transferred to the No. 2 base, and the original shadow of doom is only the function of harvesting raw materials for preliminary processing. In fact, Shadow of Doom is even better than Base 2 as a pure survival and occupation base, but now no one wants to stay there.

Chu Jungui now has to face this problem. No one wants to stay in the Shadow of Doom, even if the current residential area of Base 2 is half destroyed and only three or four people can sleep in a room, it is much better than the Shadow of Doom, after all, each dormitory has its own bathroom. In the eyes of the subject, this kind of thing has no purpose other than a waste of resources and space. But ordinary humans don't seem to think so.

Chu Jungui now has a lot of production capacity in hand, and it seems that he can consider solving this problem. He spent three minutes of precious time pondering, running through the research progress bar, and came up with a preliminary solution.

The solution is a modular dormitory, with eight people per room, and every ten rooms are allocated a shared bathroom and toilet, which is considered a unit. Each dormitory unit consumes roughly 500 capacity, and Shadow of Doom now has about 8,000 people, as well as a few hundred die-hard captives.

The captives do not have to be left alone, and the standard treatment of 0.5 square meters continues to be maintained, which helps them to change their minds as soon as possible. The remaining 8,000 people, including their current living space, will need roughly 50 units to improve their living conditions to an average of eight people per room.

Chu Jungui gritted his teeth and decided to use 5% of the production capacity to produce 10 dormitory units every day, and complete the entire improvement plan in 5 days. Although it does not meet the standards of Base 2 when completed, it is at least a huge improvement over the previous one.

As for why it was done in 5 days instead of 1 day, it was because the test subjects were carefully calculated, and the production capacity of 5000 units of 10 units could also increase in value itself, and they could also increase by 25% every three days. So if it drags on for a few days, the production capacity will grow even more.

As for human beings, according to Li Ruobai, most human beings will value hope more than the benefits they have in hand. As soon as the construction of new dormitories begins and gives them hope, people will generally be able to quiet down and wait for the day when their promises will be kept.

After solving the problem of housing, the next step is to solve the coordination between the two bases. There is now a large convoy of transports between the two bases every few days to transport supplies and personnel. For the sake of safety, hundreds of combat vehicles need to be sent to escort each time.

Although there is no shortage of energy at all, there are many people in the transportation fleet, and the time of these people is also a cost!

The improvement of production capacity is the accumulation of countless details, and the later it is, the more attention must be paid to the details. Now Chu Jungui has dedicated time and computing power to solve the efficiency problem of the transportation team.

If you want to reduce costs, improving efficiency is one way, and directly reducing costs is another. The most immediate means of reducing costs is to cut the number of escort vehicles. This was originally one of the options, but after experiencing an S-class beast tide baptism, Chu Jungui felt that safety was the most important thing, after all, if the escort force was insufficient, one attack would be enough to wipe out the entire convoy.

In Chu Jungui's view, no matter how low the probability is, as long as the consequences are unbearable after the incident, then this is an unbearable risk. What 95, 99 confidence levels, it's all, and most experts die on it.

Improving efficiency means either increasing fleet speed or increasing the volume of a single fleet.

The most important thing Chu Jungui lacked in his hands was energy and materials, so he removed these two constraints, re-ran the progress, and finally came up with the best plan: use the ark to transport.

There was a better option: transport with a larger ark.

"Isn't this just an armed transport ship flying close to the ground?" Chu Jungui looked at the final plan, speechless for a while.

After all, the Ark is still a little different from the armed transport, the Ark runs on the ground most of the time, so the volume of transport is much larger than that of the armed transport, but it is also much slower in relative terms.

After thinking about the pros and cons, Chu Jungui decided to build a super-large ark first in order to prepare for large-scale material transportation in the future.

With a total length of more than 100 meters, the new 15-meter diameter tires and 20-meter retractable suspension allow for a guaranteed passage through most terrain, so that the planned route is basically straight.

The counter-engines loaded on the Ark allow the Ark to weigh no more than 1,000 tons when fully loaded. With the addition of a few auxiliary jet engines, the Ark can even fly short distances of several kilometers.

Such a new ark would cost and take only one-fifth the time to build an armed transport, but it would carry three times as much capacity, at the cost of just three hours more travel time between the two bases.
