In the next few days, there was a rare calm, and Chu Jungui seized the time to complete the construction of the orbital energy station and the Bursting Wasp Scimitar.

Just as he was about to expand his production capacity again, he found a problem, the shadow of doom was fine, but the territory of Base 2 was not big enough.

The area of the Doomsday Shadow is actually similar to that of Base 2, the difference is that the former was once captured and seriously damaged, and the base rebuilt by Chu Jungui on the ruins, almost even the spatial structure was replanned, and the style of the test body was naturally used to the extreme. And the No. 2 base fell into the hands of Chu Jungui relatively intact, and all areas were relatively intact, so naturally they would not be smashed and reloaded.

This creates one of the most obvious problems, as the residential area of Base 2 is ten times the size of Doomsday Shadow, accounting for 40% of the entire base area, with the largest single area. However, if you want to ensure the residence of tens of thousands of people, you need such a large space.

In the design of the test subject, the easiest way to make space was to renovate the living area. This frees up space to solve the problem of production expansion in at least a month. However, Chu Jungui didn't expect that when he threw out this idea in a routine meeting, he was unanimously opposed by Li Ruobai and Li Xinyi.

Li Ruobai did not directly say the reason for his objection, but sent a report he had just received to Chu Jungui. Chu Jungui took the report and looked at it, and his face suddenly became happy.

At this moment, there are many engineers and scientists in the military industry under Chu Jungui's command, and the girl pulled them out and formed a separate laboratory to conduct research on weapons. Since Li Xinyi's arrival, she has reorganized the abilities and characteristics of each person and set up several new independent laboratories. The power in the hands of Le Mans was greatly diminished and dispersed. However, instead of resentment, the bald fat man was extremely happy, not only did he get rid of the complicated and trivial management affairs, but the girl also allocated him several times the original computing power. This allowed Le Mans to focus on his research and live a fulfilling and happy life.

After the reorganization of the girl, the research efficiency of the entire base has increased in a straight line, and the research work that originally took days or even ten days can now be completed in just one or two days, and several projects go hand in hand.

This report is from one of the high-energy weapons laboratories. Laboratory engineers and scientists dismantled a high-energy beam cannon from the Federation and reverse-engineered it. They were originally members of the Federation, and naturally knew the Federation's scientific and technological system well, so their research progressed rapidly. Using the principles of federated technology, combined with the materials and environment of Planet 4, they have successfully developed a new crystal that can be used to excite high-energy beams.

This crystal is still in its infancy, and the power of the high-energy beam that can be excited per unit volume is only half that of the federal standard crystal. However, its lifespan in the environment of Planet 4 far exceeds that of the Federation Crystal, more than ten times that of the latter. The Federation's beam cannon will be scrapped after firing dozens of times at full power on the planet's surface, while this crystal can be fired thousands of times.

The scientists named this crystal Alpha Crystal, and plan to divide the study into two parts. One part will continue to conduct basic research to improve the energy conversion efficiency and maximum excitation power of alpha crystallization, while the other part will turn to weaponization research and develop various supporting components in order to produce the beam cannon of Planet 4 as soon as possible.

This is a very important breakthrough, which means that Chu Jungui is about to get rid of the armed plan that relies on robbery. He continued to look behind him, and then he saw a somewhat odd request.

Scientists believe that since they have been divided into two research directions, they hope to build a new laboratory at Site 2 in order to make progress as soon as possible.

This seems reasonable, but it is unreasonable because the new laboratory will accommodate more than 90% of the scientists and engineers, and the original laboratory will only have three people left.

Chu Jungui was thinking about it, and Li Xinyi said bluntly: "The meaning of this report is that they want to move here. ”

"Why?"

"Because it's a good place to live. ”

Chu Jungui finally understood what the girl meant, thought for a while and said, "Do you think I should start paying attention to their welfare now?"

The girl shook her head: "No, it's not necessary now. But it can't be cut anymore, their living conditions are already very poor, and if they cut down on the living quarters, they will rebel. ”

"They won't. "Chu Jungui is very determined.

"How do you know they won't?"

"Their low-level authority is in my hands, and I can't resist it. ”

The girl disagreed: "There will always be people who will not care about life and death." ”

Chu Jun was stunned, then thought about it and said, "Indeed." But where there is resistance, there is repression. You can rest assured, my suppression is very efficient. ”

Li Ruobai listened to it next to him, and felt that the direction of the topic had deviated. He quickly coughed and said, "Jun Gui, people are not machines after all. If you don't make them comfortable, they may be able to endure for a while, but not for long. Even if no one resists, no one will do things for us. You don't want a research project to go a year without solving it, do you?"

Chu Jungui thought for a moment, and finally nodded, "That makes sense." So where does our space come from?"

"Well...... this," Li Ruobai was silent. The easiest way is to expand the base directly. However, in that case, the existing defense system would have to be redesigned and enlarged a little bit, and the pressure on the defense would increase exponentially. Although this time has been very calm, no one has forgotten the beast tide.

The overwhelming tide of beasts will never be forgotten by anyone who has seen it once.

After thinking for a long time, Li Ruobai's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Why don't you develop underground?"

When Chu Jungui was thinking about it, Li Ruobai had already gushed out: "There are many benefits to underground construction, first of all, we were originally going to mine, just by the way, we just explored the underground minerals. The excavated stones and dirt can be directly refined into basic metals and building materials on the spot, and we are not short of energy anyway. With the materials, you can dig and build at the same time, and you will not be threatened by live missiles on the ground. The only downside is that it's a bit too much work, but we can get all the minecarts back to dig the ground. ”

Chu Jun looked at the girl, Li Xinyi spread her hands and said, "Don't look for me, I'm not an expert in fortress defense." ”

Chu Jungui felt that there was no problem, so he nodded. Li Ruobai immediately linked to Kaitian, and then linked the main brain through Kaitian, and began to plan the expansion of the underground space.

When Base 2 began to build underground, in the far distance, an eye rose from the huge black fog, casting a cold light: "Stupid human, do you think that the underground can stop me?
