Vol 3 Chapter 474: Pay the price!

In the rare calm of the next few days, Chu Jungui seized the time to complete the construction of the Orbital Energy Station and the Burst Hornets Scimitar.
Just when he was about to expand production capacity again, he discovered a problem. The shadow of the doomsday was fine, but the site of Base 2 was not big enough.
The shadow area of ​​the doomsday is actually similar to that of Base 2. The difference is that the former was once occupied and severely damaged. The base that Chu Jun returned to rebuilt on the ruins, almost even the spatial structure was re-planned, and naturally got the most extreme in the style of the test body. Use. The No. 2 base fell into Jun Chu's hands relatively intact, and all areas were relatively intact, so it would naturally not drop the heavy equipment.
This poses the most obvious problem. The residential area of ​​No. 2 base is ten times the size of the shadow of the end, accounting for 40% of the entire base area, which is the largest single area. But if you want to guarantee the housing of tens of thousands of people, you need such a large space.
In the concept of the experimental body, the easiest way to make room is naturally to transform the residential area. This freed up space can at least solve the problem of production expansion within one month. However, Chu Jungui did not expect that when he threw out this idea in a routine meeting, he met with unanimous opposition from Li Ruobai and Li Xinyi.
Li Ruobai did not directly state the reason for his objection, but sent a report he just received to Chu Jungui. When Chu Jungui received the report, he was immediately happy.
At this moment, there are many military engineers and scientists under Chu Jun's command. The young girl took them out and formed a separate laboratory to conduct research on weapons. Since Li Xinyi's arrival, she has reorganized each individual's abilities and characteristics, and established several new independent laboratories. The power in the hands of Le Mans was greatly weakened and dispersed. However, instead of resentment, the fat bald man was extremely happy. Not only did he free himself from the complicated and trivial management affairs, the girl also allocated several times the original computing power to him. This allows Le Mans to focus on his research and live a full and happy life.
After the reorganization of the girls, the research efficiency of the entire base has risen linearly. The research work that originally took several days or even ten days can be completed in just one or two days, and several projects go hand in hand.
This report comes from the high-energy weapons laboratory. Engineers and scientists in the laboratory dismantled a high-energy beam cannon from the Federation and conducted reverse development. They were originally members of the Federation, and they naturally knew the technology system of the Federation, so the research progressed rapidly. They used the principles of federal technology, combined with the materials and environment of Planet 4, and successfully developed a brand-new crystal that can be used to excite high-energy beams.
This kind of crystal is still in its preliminary stage, and the power of the high-energy beam that can be excited per unit volume is only half of the federal standard crystal. However, its service life in the environment of Planet 4 far exceeds that of the Federation Crystal, which is more than ten times that of the latter. The federal beam cannon fired dozens of times at full power on the surface of the planet will be scrapped, while this crystal can fire thousands of times.
Scientists named this crystal Alpha Crystal and plan to divide the study into two parts. One part continues to conduct basic research to improve the energy conversion efficiency and maximum excitation power of Alpha Crystal; the other part turns to weaponization research and develops 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 Jungui Chu is about to get rid of the armed plan of relying on robbery. He continued to look back, and then saw a somewhat weird request.
Scientists believe that since it has been divided into two research directions, in order to make progress as soon as possible, they hope to build a new laboratory in Base 2.
This request seems reasonable, but what is unreasonable is that the new laboratory will accommodate more than 90% of scientists and engineers, and only three people will stay in the original laboratory.
Chu Jun was thinking about it, and Li Xinyi said straightforwardly: "The meaning of this report is that they want to move here."
"why?"
"Because we live well here."
Chu Jungui finally understood what the girl meant, and after thinking about it, he 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 reduced. Their current living conditions are already very crude. If they reduce the residential area, they will rebel."
"They won't." Chu Jungui was very sure.
"How do you know they won't?"
"Their low-level authority is in my hands, and I cannot resist."
The girl disagreed: "There will always be someone who does not care about life or death."
Jun Chu returned to a start, then he thought about it, and said, "It's true. But wherever there is resistance, there will be suppression. Don't worry, my suppression is very efficient."
Li Ruobai was listening to him, and he felt that the topic was off the track. He hurriedly coughed and said, "Mr. Gui, people are not machines after all. If you don't let them live better, they may be able to endure it for a while, but they can't endure it for a long time. Even if no one resists, no one will try to help us. Do things. You don't want a research project to be solved after a year, do you?"
Jun Chu returned to think for a moment, and finally nodded, "It makes sense. Then where does our space come from?"
"Well..." Li Ruobai was silent. The easiest way is naturally to directly expand the base. But in that case, the existing defense system would have to be redesigned, and the area would be expanded a bit, and the pressure on defense would increase exponentially. Although this period has been very peaceful, no one has forgotten the animal tide.
Anyone at UU reading www.uukanshu.com will never forget the beast tide that came over the sky.
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Ruobai suddenly brightened his eyes and said, "Why not develop underground?"
When Chu Jun was thinking about it, Li Ruobai had already said incessantly:
Underground construction has many benefits. First of all, we are going to mine. We just happened to explore the underground minerals by the way. The excavated stones and soil can be refined directly on site. We don’t lack energy anyway. With materials, we can dig and build without being threatened by live missiles on the ground. The only drawback is that the amount of work is a bit large, but We can transfer all the minecarts back to digging."
Jun Chu returned to the girl and looked at the girl. Li Xinyi spread her hands and said, "Don't find me, I am not an expert in fortress defense."
Chu Jungui felt that there was nothing wrong, so he nodded. Li Ruobai immediately linked to Kaitian, and then linked the mastermind through Kaitian to plan the expansion of the underground space.
When the No. 2 base began to work underground, in the distant distance, an eye rose from the huge black fog, projecting a cold light: "Stupid humans, do you think the underground can stop me? Hmph! Dare to despise me so much, I must make you pay the price!"
