Garton Star System, Planet Golden Gate.
The construction of the Black Star Base was in full swing. The construction team that Han Xiao had contacted was a professional construction company. In the galactic era, the efficiency of building buildings was extremely high, and the equipment was almost completely automated. Laying the foundation, applying cement, building walls, laying cables, and other time-consuming tasks could be completed quickly. As long as the raw materials were in place, the construction team would be able to build the building according to the blueprint in a short amount of time.
More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and a steel base rose from the ground. This base was large enough to accommodate around seventy to eighty thousand people, and the terrain was simple. According to the blueprint, the base was split into a few functional areas. However, the construction had not started yet, and the base was still an empty shell.
With 4.5 million Enas, Han Xiao was no longer short on cash. He did some calculations. He wanted to build an assembly line for the military factory, set up the basic equipment for the base, and build a mainframe to control the base. He had to build all of these himself, and he mainly had to spend money on the materials.
Next, he had to solve the transportation problem. Buying spaceships was too expensive, so he was prepared to work with some galactic travel agencies and rent their spaceships for a long time. After deducting these expenses, he still had about two to three million Enas left.
The transportation problem was not urgent, and it would only be useful when the players returned. Han Xiao first started to build an assembly line. Assembling an assembly line was the prerequisite for the Army Style, and it required a lot of Advanced Knowledge and corresponding High-End Knowledge. Han Xiao had already learned most of the Advanced Knowledge, and his huge amount of funds allowed him to buy new High-End Knowledge.
He spent a few hundred thousand Enas to buy the High-End Knowledge of the Armed class, [Huge Duplex Machinery Technology]. This knowledge was one of the prerequisites for building super large machinery such as battleships. Based on the knowledge in his memory, he fused the key blueprint, [Automated Mass Assembly Plan], which was the blueprint of an assembly line. This was the core of the Army Style. As long as the raw materials were put in, the assembly line would be able to automatically mass produce, saving time and energy … but not money.
The Assembly Line was a special type of blueprint that could not be created by itself. If a player used the Assembly Line Blueprint, they would first trigger the Assembly Line Blueprint, causing it to enter an active state. Then, they would use the blueprint of another type of machine to create the Assembly Line of that machine.
The assembly process of every machine was different. For example, the assembly of the Rangers and the assembly of the Black Panther mechanical beasts were different. Therefore, the assembly lines of different machines had to be built separately, and the raw materials would change according to the composition of the target machine. This was enough to make any player's wallet feel despair. Otherwise, why would the Army Style be said to be the fastest way to burn money?
Currently, Han Xiao's main combat system was the Third Company of Workers, which focused on low cost. It was still far from the true Army Style. The main reason was that he did not have much money to burn back then, so he was extremely bored. Now that he had ample funds on hand, he could finally put the plan of building an Army Style on the agenda.
After all, the combat power of a Mechanic was directly related to money.
Han Xiao's secondary profession, [Ordnance Engineer], had the specialty [Ordnance Mass Production Experience]. It was a skill that could reduce the cost of assembly lines and increase the quality of products.
Other than building a large-scale Mech Legion, the other goal of the assembly line was to mass produce equipment that the players were willing to buy. When the time came, they would sell it on a large scale.
Then, he would open branches, and one branch would become two, two branches would become four, four branches would become eight branches, and after eight branches, they would be listed on the stock market. Then, they would be listed separately, and just the dividends would be … cough cough, that was the general idea. Just thinking about it made the Great Mechanic Han's mood feel like the sun was shining brightly on a sunny day.
The higher the grade of the machine, the more complicated the assembly line would be. Even with Han Xiao's current assembly speed using Mechanical Force, it would take him a few days to complete an assembly line. Therefore, the assembly line of the machine was very important. After thinking about it, he decided to focus on low-grade machines because his level was too much higher than the players. To him, they were 'low-grade machines', but they were suitable for players around LV 60.
As for high-quality machines, there was no need for an assembly line. Han Xiao was currently LV 116. Because he had encountered the Noriose incident after his Promotion, he did not have the time to upgrade his core machines. Building a base happened to be a long-term job, so he had plenty of time to upgrade.
Because of Anur's reward, the experience in his interface had increased to more than 300,000,000. He first raised the [Automated Mass Production and Assembly Plan] to the maximum level, greatly reducing the cost. Then, he gambled on a large number of different low-grade machines and chose suitable blueprints to build an assembly line. With his understanding of the Mechanic class and the players, he could guarantee that the machines he mass-produced would all be useful.
The assembly line was a big project. Before this, he had built a mainframe for the base and let Phillip manage the base. The first assembly line he built was the assistant robot production line. Letting Phillip, an artificial intelligence, control the assistant robot would be very useful. It would be equivalent to killing the farmers at the start of the game.
Philip followed the blueprints he had left behind and ordered more and more assistant robots to complete the layout of the different areas of the base, adding furniture, access doors, equipment, and other miscellaneous things. Han Xiao did not have to watch over them personally.
The preparation plan for Version 2.0 required everyone to stay in the base for a long time. Herlous did not have any objections. He believed that Han Xiao had a plan, and the others did not have any objections either. For example, the three Volga brothers and Sylvia could do anything with Han Xiao. Fu Ding would not leave before he completely suppressed Morning Star. Risda was very patient. He had waited for so many years, so he did not mind waiting a little longer. He also did not mind letting Han Xiao use his body.
Wilsander returned to Floating Dragon, and only Han Xiao and the others were left.
Han Xiao was very clear that Floating Dragon definitely knew about his actions in building the base, but Ames did not ask about it. This meant that Ames allowed him to strengthen the armed forces, and this trust made him feel gratified.
Because they needed to build the base, Han Xiao's core team stopped accepting jobs. Only the Sunil team was still active. The news spread very quickly in the galaxy, and the news of Han Xiao building a base was interpreted differently by many organizations. They felt that this was a signal.
Could it be that the Dragon Emperor had finally started to strengthen the armed forces under her command like the other three Beyond Grade A Supers?
All along, Han Xiao's' Floating Dragon Field Team 'had more symbolic meaning than actual meaning. This action immediately made many organizations and organizations pay close attention to it.
The construction of the base progressed step by step. Time passed, and the sun rose and set.
As time passed, all the planets where DarkStar had secretly placed the Mutation Source began to slowly awaken from their slumber.
…
"… That's how it is. In the past two days, there have been more than 2,700 riots in the world, and more than 100,000 people have been involved. This is only the situation that we have detected. The intelligence department has investigated the identities of all the rioters. The rioters are from all walks of life, and they are scattered in different cities. There were no signs before the riots, and there is no pattern to follow. Currently, most of the rioters have been detained by the law enforcement agencies of the Six Nations, and the reason is being investigated."
A Dark Net intelligence officer was reading the report. Bennett sat on the chair and frowned. He was slightly older than two years ago.
After Han Xiao left, the social environment of Blue Star had finally calmed down. The Six Nations had rested and stopped fighting, and the refugees had found a place to go.
However, in the past two days, riots had suddenly occurred in many areas of Blue Star. The number of cases was high, and it immediately attracted the attention of the Six Nations and Bennett.
"Your Excellency, we have sorted out the process of all the riots and found a common point …" The intelligence officer swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his tone was filled with fear.
"Speak," Bennett said with a deep voice.
"All the riots can be divided into three batches, and the time of each batch is almost exactly the same. This means that within a ten-second interval, riots occurred in hundreds of different locations around the world at the same time. It is as though they had agreed to it beforehand. However, we have checked the network records, and these people did not contact each other privately …"
Bennett's eyes narrowed. This situation was too abnormal!
The intelligence officer's palms were sweaty, and he continued with difficulty. "Furthermore, the locations of the riots included a few of our shelters. Many of the refugees that we have taken in also rioted."
"How are the conditions of those refugees?"
"The refugees that we have taken in have fever all over their bodies, and they are unconscious. The results of the doctor's examination showed that their brains are abnormally active, causing their organs to produce hormones that far exceed normal levels. According to the intelligence of our informants, the rioters that the Six Nations have captured are also in the same situation."
Bennett was shocked and angry at the same time. "Everyone is unconscious? Are they infected with the same infectious disease? "
"Not everyone. A small portion of the detained refugees have already woken up. They clearly remember the entire process, and their testimonies are shockingly consistent. They all said that they suddenly felt a strong sense of anger and wanted to destroy something to vent their anger. Our doctors checked the bodies of these people who have woken up, but they did not detect any abnormalities. There are no problems with their physiological indicators. Even the fever that they had when they were unconscious has disappeared, and everything has become normal. We can't find out what is going on, so we have quarantined these people. So far, there have been no riots for eighteen hours."
"Is quarantining really useful? The groups of the three large-scale riots are completely different, and there is no warning. If this is really an unknown virus that cannot be detected, I am afraid that the number of infected people …"
Thinking of this, Bennett could not help but take a deep breath. His expression was ugly. He had a strong feeling that this matter was not so simple.
"The war is over, and the world has finally ushered in peace. Why did this happen?"
Suddenly, he thought of Han Xiao and the catastrophe prophecy that Han Xiao had left behind before he left. The current situation was very similar to what Han Xiao had described!
Could it be that what Black Phantom said was true?
Clang!
Bennett stood up suddenly, knocked over the chair, put on his coat, and hurried out of the room.
