Chapter 849: War Preparation
"Lota, the other person is my friend."
"Until the last moment, I prefer to use peaceful means to solve the problem. Fighting is not a good option."
"..."
The puppet maid nodded slightly to express her understanding.
At the same time, as a member of the "Out-of-control Machine", Rota is also connected to the reconnaissance system.
Following Lindsay's statement, she looked eastward and immediately spotted Alice and her entourage galloping on their horses.
Mechanical species are very sensitive to numbers such as speed and distance.
Hearing that Lindsay had no intention of taking the initiative, Rota immediately calculated and gave a result in just a few seconds:
"Lord Lindsay, I have calculated the distance of this team."
"If their speed remains unchanged, taking into account the rest along the way, it will take them 27 to 28 hours to reach directly above the base."
"According to the answers given by the computing core, we still have plenty of time."
Naturally, Lindsay would not doubt Rota’s calculation results:
"27~28 hours."
"This time is indeed enough time to complete the upgrade of the base."
"But after all, it's not time to succeed yet. Before that, we still have to make all the necessary preparations."
Lotta immediately replied:
"Please give me the task."
Lindsay thought about the situation carefully and then said:
"Although you exchange information, this base has just been completely transformed by my skills, and there must still be some unfamiliar places. In the remaining day, you should get familiar with this place and strengthen the defense. Especially those ordinary people in the security park Human beings should also take good care of them..."
Speaking of this, Ye Haiya next to him reacted.
The Silver Witch had just come from the security park and knew the changes that had taken place in that area:
"Lindsay, you can rest assured on this aspect."
"Before I left, I could detect some changes in the security park, which could even eliminate the burden on human psychology."
"..."
Upon hearing this reminder, Lindsay blinked.
He opened the building list and confirmed the specific effect of the [Humanoid Zoo] - a practical building that houses a large number of humans and improves the happiness of individual machines.
"..."
"So in addition to improving the happiness of the mechanical species."
"Even the humans living inside will be comforted to a certain extent. Is this... considered spiritual castration?"
Just when Lindsay was struggling with the functional details of this building, Ye Haiya took the initiative to speak again:
"Lindsay, do you need my help?"
"That friend of yours is an upright person. If you let her rush here like this, a very fierce conflict will break out if you disagree."
Yahya's tone was full of confidence.
She had already recovered some of her skills through guiding the servant machinery. At this moment, Lindsay has gained control of the machine clan. As Lindsay's companion, her status has naturally improved, and her skills as an organizer have also been unlocked simultaneously.
However, in the face of Ye Haiya's self-recommendation, Lindsay still shook her head and refused:
"Let's forget about this."
"If Alice really comes here, I will deal with the problem with her, and you should not interfere."
Ye Haiya thought of the previous state when Lindsay and Alice acted:
"Do you like this girl?"
Lindsay waved her hand and denied it without thinking:
"It's not her, I have someone I like."
"As for the relationship between Alice and me - I was her savior at first, but then she also gave me a lot of help. Until now, we embarked on adventures together because of the same goal. She is undoubtedly my very Important friends, but the relationship is just as pure.”
Ye Haiya patted Lindsay on the shoulder:
"You're pretty good at this."
"Even if that child is difficult to get along with in terms of personality, he is absolutely beautiful in appearance. It is difficult for ordinary people to withstand such a test."
Lindsay naturally replied: "I am a veteran cadre, I can withstand such a test!"
Yahya failed to understand the meaning of Lindsay's words.
However, this small episode did not affect the two people's subsequent preparations.
Ye Haiya returned to the safe park to take care of the anxious humans; Lindsay inspected other buildings in the base to see if there were any newly built facilities that could provide immediate help.
After walking to the [Research Room], Lindsay found a project that could come in handy. This place is like the university building in the big banyan forest, providing a lot of scientific and technological research options.
Lindsay pulled up the list and looked at it.
【High Efficiency Energy Core】
Research cost: 300 energy, 100 metal
Function: Improve the energy utilization efficiency of all buildings and units and reduce energy consumption.
[Quick Assembly Technology]
Research cost: 400 energy, 250 metal
Effect: Reduce unit production time.
【Advanced Defense Matrix】
Research cost: 500 energy, 300 metal
Function: Enhance the armor of defensive buildings and units to improve survivability.
[Weapon system optimization]
Research cost: 450 energy, 250 metal
Effect: Increases the damage output of all attacking units and increases combat effectiveness.
【Quick Repair】
Research cost: 350 energy, 200 metal
Effect: Improve the healing speed and effect of medical units, and reduce the casualty rate.
【Reconnaissance Satellite Network】
Research cost: 250 energy, 150 metal
Effect: Provides a wider field of vision and better intelligence gathering capabilities, reduces the concealment of enemy units, and links each mechanical individual.
[Automated Collection Technology]
Research cost: 200 energy, 100 metal
Effect: Increases resource collection speed and increases resource income.
[Intelligent Building System]
Research cost: 300 energy, 200 metal
Effect: Enables buildings to automatically repair and defend, reducing the reliance on units for repair work.
…
"It's really exaggerated."
"Either improve efficiency or directly improve combat effectiveness."
"And the price is more expensive than the other."
Linsey couldn't help but sigh.
The technological effect of [Out of Control Machinery] is also extremely utilitarian. He looked all the way down, and there was no option that was a waste of resources, and the effects were mostly strong.
It's just that there are no research-type mechanical species settled in yet, so the [Research Room] is completely stagnant.
Lindsay called Rota:
"Rota, transfer a few mechanical sub-bodies who are good at thinking."
The puppet maid was a little confused:
"Good at thinking? Lord Lindsay, there is only one computing core in the base?"
Lindsay explained:
"Ordinary ones will do, just let them settle in the laboratory and carry out the research and development of corresponding technologies."
After Lindsay explained the task, Rota immediately went to execute it.
Watching the puppet maid leave, and then looking at the more than 20 hours of free time. Lindsay's eyes, in this "leisure", gradually shifted to himself.
"..."
"After entering the chaotic time and space, I haven't dealt with this aspect in detail."
"Now is the right time."
"It's time to sort out my things."
