After dozens of federal soldiers joined, the ten work stations were obviously not enough. Lin Xi simply expanded production capacity again and built twenty new alien version advanced workbenches in one go. In the end, we had one workbench per person and still had room to spare.
With the workbench in place, various alien version separators and editors were also increased by dozens or hundreds. As for the refining furnace, a hundred were built in one go.
After experiencing a life-and-death battle, not only Chu Jungui but also Lin Xi seemed to have suffered from a lack of firepower phobia, and she also had an additional symptom of a lack of productivity phobia.
In order to feed these one hundred refining furnaces, it is no longer enough to rely solely on manual power drills to dig out soil and rocks. For this purpose, a large-scale excavator and stone crusher had to be built, so that the refining furnace could work continuously.
The newly added facilities require a large amount of energy, and dozens of new pulp power furnaces were built for this purpose. Fortunately, there are endless double-leaf trees on Planet 4, so there is no need to worry about energy supply.
The basic metal production capacity of one hundred refining furnaces reached tens of tons per hour. Together with the alloys obtained from dismantling tanks, Lin Xi soon built an armed version of the mobile base.
The Horizon 2 base also rose from the ground, from the original height of 2 meters to 2 meters per floor, with a total of three floors. The radius of the base is 50 meters, with multiple individual fire positions and 30 remote control towers designed around it. The improved third-generation mechanical keyboard is distributed around it, with half of it placed on the top level. Basically, no matter which direction the enemy attacks, they will face the firepower coverage of more than 10 mechanical keyboards.
Several simple houses and production bases have been moved into the center of the fortress and protected. However, the fortress has limited space and so many equipment are packed inside. It feels like the inside of a nuclear submarine in the home planet era.
After the fortress was basically completed, Lin Xi laid out three alloy wire meshes around the perimeter. Under strong fire coverage, this convenient and cheap delay trap works particularly well.
The firepower design of the entire fortress is quite versatile. No matter what comes, just blow it up. But Chu Jungui still felt uneasy, so he built three remote-controlled machine gun towers in the center of the top of the fortress.
As soon as these three machine gun towers were built, the entire fortress's target strategy became very clear, and the main target was the beast tide.
Chu Jungui had not slept for dozens of hours, constantly debugging remote-controlled turrets one after another until each one passed the test. Fortunately, although the performance of the alien version of the chip is not very good, the reliability is still quite good, and it can fully deserve the words "sturdiness and durability".
It's not that the experimental body cannot build more remote-controlled turrets, but because the communication distance of the alien version of the chip is only fifty meters, the base cannot be built larger. Now all that's left is to make all the ammunition. Dozens of remote-controlled turrets plus 20 federal prisoners, the consumption is not a small amount if they really fight.
As soon as the large-scale manufacture of ammunition began, it was discovered that there was not enough material. It won’t take long for that small herd at the beginning to be completely consumed.
Federation soldiers also have personal chips, and Roland's is more advanced. Although their chips and personal terminals are not as good as those of agents, they are no worse than those of Tang Dynasty officers. Chu Jungui did not intend to let these chips sit idle, and equipped each of them with an organic matter detector to slowly analyze various materials on this planet.
Anyway, there are thousands of items that need to be tested, and even the organic matter that has been tested still has many unknown areas that can be further explored. Lin Xi and Chu Jungui were not in a hurry and just took their time.
Here Chu Jungui was working hard to increase his firepower, and over there Lin Xi was holding a freshly baked biochip and gradually came up with new ideas.
She pulled up ten workbenches and queued up 50 biochip production tasks in one go. While waiting for the chip to be released, Lin Xi began to design a new central processing unit.
The processor is a very old design and it didn't take long to complete the blueprints. It looks like an ordinary iron cabinet, with rows of grids and slots inside, each slot corresponding to a biochip.
Lin Xi uses this ancient, simple and crude design to integrate multiple biochips to improve the overall processing speed and capabilities. As for what the processor can do, she hasn't decided yet and plans to install it on the mobile base first. With a processor controlling the operating attitude and traveling speed of the mobile base, autonomous driving can be achieved to a large extent, thereby saving valuable manpower.
At the same time, Lin Xi also saw that the remote-controlled turrets built by Chu Jungui would become automatic turrets if controlled by a processor. It's just that the performance of the biochip is really average, and the production speed is also very limited. One processor can control up to 2 automatic turrets at the same time.
The most common automatic weapon station controller in the prosperous Tang Dynasty was only the size of a fingernail and as thin as a piece of paper. The top-level controller is invisible to the naked eye, but can control hundreds or thousands of weapon stations.
But on Planet 4, there is naturally no such condition, and even if it were, it would not work here. The more sophisticated the controller, the faster it will break.
The federal soldiers were also busy in their respective positions. Several soldiers were lined up in a row by the forest in the distance and were learning how to operate biomass automatic rifles and machine guns. Horizon 2 Base is not a shadow fortress. There is no endless supply of modern weapons and ammunition here, and everything can only be obtained from local materials.
Fortunately, they are all elite lancers. Alien survival is considered basic training. They can both fight and build. It is difficult to find more qualified coolies.
With their efforts, Base No. 2 has gradually taken shape, at least a shell has been built.
With the experience and lessons learned from the previous sneak attacks, there are now at least two people on guard and sentry at all times, and there is a fixed sentry and a mobile sentry.
At this time, the colonel was serving as the mobile sentry. He held a gun and walked slowly along the perimeter of the base, not missing the slightest difference.
Rounding the corner, the colonel was suddenly shaken, and subconsciously raised his gun, aiming at the red streak in the distance.
It was a man wearing a red windbreaker, and the rose on the black mask was particularly eye-catching.
But this time Rose came alone, with only a motorcycle, no troops behind her, and no chariot mecha.
Rose drove the motorcycle and rushed to a stop nearby. Then she jumped off the motorcycle and walked directly to the colonel.
"Roland, it seems you are doing well."
The colonel subconsciously took a step back, and then he was shocked to realize the fear in his subconscious. He forced a smile and asked, "Sir, why are you here?"
"I'm here..." Midway through Rose Rose's words, her whole body was suddenly shaken, as if she had encountered a natural enemy, and she instantly retreated several meters away.
Roland was startled. When he looked back, he saw the base behind him. Not even a person could be seen. He didn't understand what Rose was afraid of.
Rose stared at the base. Just now, he had the illusion that all the turrets turned their heads and glanced at him at the same time. But now when he looked back, the turrets had all turned back, looking motionless into the distance, as if they had never done anything.
