Scene 116 One Year's Development (Part 1)
Not long after the stability gate was completed, the trade team that went to the Eternal Holy Church also returned, and everyone looked like a savage - for those who have long been used to mechanical transportation, this super retro livestock trading team is simply a nightmare, and what makes them even more desperate is the uninhabited trade route in the absolute sense.
In other words, the trade volume this time is not large and it can barely be done. If you want to expand the scale of trade in the future, this path will definitely be impossible.
In order to solve the road problem, the trade team and the Black Skeleton Knights discussed choosing a place to build a trade stack near the western mountains. The Storm Base only needs to send supplies to the easier-to-reach trading stack, and the remaining routes are transported by the Black Skeleton Knights by the undead.
As an undead creature that does not require food and drink, low-level undead is a very excellent means of transportation. After reducing the distance of the trade team's movement, transportation becomes less difficult.
…………………………
Years have passed in the busy construction, and a year is not long or short. The Storm Base, which has lifted the bottleneck of material transportation, has exploded all its forces for construction, as if it has returned to the era of "Shenzhen Speed", and the entire southern section of Hell Valley has almost become a huge construction site!
First of all, roads with standard standards comparable to highways were built, and then the most built were laboratories and scientific research stations. Especially the new Grohill base built around King Grohill is a huge base that combines the dual tasks of clearing out operations and scientific research excavation, becoming the third large base of China in another world after the Storm Base and Truman Base.
In order to reduce the dependence on earth's materials, the Storm Base first used the abundant wind resources of Storm Angle to establish a large number of wind turbines. Of course, wind power alone will definitely not be able to meet the base's huge electricity demand, so a nuclear power plant is under intense construction. When the new nuclear power plant is put into use, the base will not have to waste a lot of transportation capacity to maintain the fuel consumption of the thermal power plant.
In addition, cement factories, quarries and a small magic crystal mine have been established one after another. Unfortunately, the magic crystal mine is a small mine that has been abandoned by the Grohier people. The base can only obtain a small amount of magic crystals by digging deep with mechanical equipment. Therefore, the greatest value of this mine is to produce a large amount of magic sand. A small part is the companion creatures that excavate magic crystals, and most of them are directly abandoned by the Grohier people around the mine.
A large-scale airport main body adjacent to Truman Base has been completed, and the airport has just been put into use and the second phase expansion project has begun without stopping.
A satellite launch base next to the airport has been basically completed, and the design and manufacturing of various types of satellites developed for other worlds has come to an end. The final targeted test is underway. I believe that satellites from the earth will fly in the orbit of other worlds at this time next year.
In order to protect this huge construction site in the south of Hell Valley, Storm Base began to build a huge defense project for the Maginot Line of Defense in another world.
The defense project created three lines of defense from north to south. The first direction was just a rough jungle of barbed wire, which did not play much role in front of high-level undeads, but it was very useful to block the sporadic low-level undeads from moving south.
The second line of defense is not so much a continuous line of defense, but a simple warning robot composed of old stock weapons, cheap reconnaissance equipment and simple AI is enough to eliminate most mid- and low-level threats.
I have to say that the environment of Hell Valley is really suitable for launching this kind of robot weapon that is not mature in AI. The rain for hundreds of years has left almost no normal creatures here, so as long as something moving appears, you can prepare for attack. At most, when encountering difficult-to-judge humanoid targets, it is artificially operated through the Internet. One of the most troublesome problems in intelligent robot weapons is one of the most difficult-to-evil and self-identification is not a problem at all.
The last line of defense is the orthodox reinforced concrete line of defense. The line of defense is centered on several diamond castles, and uses walls, tunnels, trenches and barbed wire groups to connect them into pieces. The line of defense is equipped with a large number of heavy weapons, and a front-line airport is built in the rear.
After the development of Hell Valley reached a certain level, the mission area of the exploration troops gradually moved outside Hell Valley. The base had established several scientific research stations in the area east of the eastern mountains, and used a valley in the eastern mountains to build a pass to the east.
After the sky was no longer disturbed by magic storms, the workload of the exploration troops dropped significantly, and a lot of basic work could be done by drones. All they needed to do was to go to suspicious areas where the drone had already detected for on-site exploration.
The top priority of exploration is the magic crystal mine - a magical substance that has never appeared on the earth has madly valuable and can almost trigger a new round of technological revolution!
In addition to the construction of Hell Valley, researchers at Storm Base have also achieved a lot of results in research on other worlds over the past year.
In another world, most things are not much different from those on the earth. The real discovery that the base is ecstatic is the first one and the second one is magic.
Magic has caused researchers to fall into fanaticism, but unfortunately, a year is obviously not enough to let them uncover the mystery of this "a place where science has not yet set foot in". Despite the huge investment, the results are all superficial things, which at most allow the people at the base to not know what the name is after seeing a magic.
Compared with the stagnation of magic research, the research results of magic crystals are extremely gratifying.
Since the development of super batteries, the application technology of magic crystal has exploded like mushrooms after a rain. Magic crystal is like a universal additive, which can often bring surprises to everyone in different fields.
Many times, this kind of surprise is just a surprise and does not have much practical significance. But sometimes it brings an absolute technological revolution!
For example, super batteries.
