Since he had to stay in the base for a few days anyway, Chu Jungui planned to strengthen the transportation between the two bases and further explore the surrounding areas to find traces of Brother Dao and see where the war beasts had gone.
The exploration of surrounding warriors has been going on, but the progress is a little slow. Wilson's style is steady and conservative, which is why Chu Jungui felt comfortable letting him command the two bases.
Considering that Lightyear urgently needs to improve its production capacity, coordination between the two bases is a top priority. Chu Jungui mobilized 5 Ark vehicles to prepare to double the road connecting the two bases, and at the same time further extend several high-slope road sections. bulldoze. The current Ark has been continuously improved and has many new derivative models, such as Engineering Ark, Fortress Ark, Base Ark, etc.
Engineering Ark is equipped with a giant terrain modification component. To put it bluntly, it is a super large excavator. The new version of Engineering Ark is equipped with six large drill bits and four tunnel boring machines at the front, and four adjustable medium-sized boring machines at the rear. The vehicle body is short and round, with strong power. It also comes with a material screening module and a compression module, which can The rocks and soil excavated during the excavation are initially classified, compressed into material packages, and thrown behind.
If turned on at full power, Engineering Ark can dig 50 meters per hour into mountains or underground. If it is in a non-rock layer, the digging speed will be even faster.
As for the material screening module, it adheres to Chu Jungui's spirit of never wasting any material. Even useless waste can be made into building materials, so there is nothing that cannot be used.
The Fortress Ark is an evolved version of the original Armed Ark. It uses two frigate-class beam cannons as its main weapons and is equipped with more than 50 rapid-fire cannons and tough and thick armor. It can also accommodate a 50-man special operations team inside. Its armor is very thick and its weight is light. Even if it is surrounded by a tide of beasts, it can still carve out a bloody path and retreat to the fortress.
Base Ark is a production-enhanced version of the original Ark. It has a complete production system inside and can produce almost all materials and primary equipment needed for survival, and they are all alien versions modified according to the planetary environment. If there was such an ark when Chu Jun returned to planet No. 4, it would be a scam.
There are two types of base types, one is a production base and the other is a mobile base. The mobile base is like a mobile barracks. It can provide a comfortable 8-person dormitory, with a kitchen and bathroom, where you can take off your armor to rest, and even a small entertainment area.
Looking at the newly built mobile base Ark, Chu Jungui fell into deep thought. He felt that he needed to reconsider the psychological needs of the soldiers. He originally believed that these enjoyments were unnecessary and could be overcome, and seemed to have no other effect besides causing a waste of resources. Haven't you seen that during the Middle Ages on your home planet, even the emperor only took a few baths in his life?
Wilson has used all his autonomy to build this mobile base. It can accommodate 500 soldiers, and the limit can be 1,000, but they have to take turns sleeping.
It seems that it is time to solve the living conditions of the soldiers. Chu Jungui now has no shortage of resources. Chu Jungui turned the improvement of treatment into a research task, handed it over to the political component, and led Ark to set off.
This time he brought two engineering arks, a production base ark and a fortress ark. After much hesitation, he brought the mobile base ark.
There were 2,000 people traveling with Chu Jungui. Except for 300 who were full-time soldiers, the rest were workers and engineers. One of the two engineering arks is responsible for widening the road, and the other is for smoothing and hardening the road surface. After the slag generated during the expansion is separated from organic and inorganic materials, the organic matter is used to refine the Le Mans grains, and the inorganic matter is used to extract the basic metals. , the rest that has production capacity will be turned into building materials for hardening roads, and the remaining production capacity will be left on the roadside.
The operating capabilities of the two engineering arks are quite terrifying, advancing at a speed of one kilometer per hour, leaving a nearly 50-meter-wide road behind them.
This road is prepared for a specialized transport Ark. This new type of heavy-duty Ark is equipped with a large number of anti-gravity engines, which can reduce the ultimate weight by more than 90%. It can transport more than 5,000 tons at a time with a full load on a flat road. The speed exceeds 100 kilometers per hour, and it can even fly short distances when the load is less than 3,000 tons.
After the road surface is repaired, it only takes three hours for the heavy-loaded Ark to complete one-way transportation, and it can make three or four round trips a day. Chu Jun also planned to set up several strongholds in the middle of the road to monitor the operation of the entire road. If a war beast appears, it can be discovered immediately.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Chu Jungui had left the base more than 70 kilometers away, but it would still take about half a month to rebuild the entire road. At this time, I feel that the Ark of Engineering is somewhat lacking. If we build ten and eight sections at the same time, we can complete it within a few days.
In three days, Chu Jungui only saw the shadows of a few scattered war beasts. He did not see a large-scale beast tide at all, and there was not even any sign of beast tide activity. Chu Jungui took several chariots and searched both sides of the road for dozens of kilometers. He also found no traces of the activities of the war beasts. After a careful search, he only found a few old traces, which were almost completely eroded. Judging from the traces, it was at least two months ago.
Since there was no beast tide, Chu Jungui had no need to stay. He took two tanks and a dozen soldiers and returned to the base. The next step is to explore the surroundings. Chu Jungui’s goal is the mountainous area in the north. There is an endless forest there, which is often the direction where beasts gather and attack.
There are still three Arks in the base, all of which are original Arks that have not had time to be modified. Chu Jungui added an excavation component to one of the vehicles and set off towards the northern mountainous area.
This time the exploration was much faster. In one day, we traveled more than 200 kilometers and reached deep into the mountainous area. The three arks opened a road as they moved forward. With Chu Jungui plowing the ground, this road can last for about a month.
Going deep into the mountainous area, I finally saw more war beasts, and there were also dozens of small beasts. However, most of the beasts that appeared were the most basic beasts. The rest of the troops with obvious tactical effects, such as the Thornback Beast, were all seen. not see.
Every 10 kilometers forward, Chu Jungui would get off the car and search the surroundings carefully. Waiting until the evening of the next day, Chu Jungui opened his research notes and wrote down this paragraph:
"So far, no traces of the life, growth, and reproduction of other war beasts have been found. Can we conclude that alien beasts are the only truly naturally occurring forms?"
Chu Jungui stopped writing here and did not continue writing. The next question is, who established a complete system of war beasts from the form of alien beasts?
