A day later, Meng Xiang crawled out of the biochemical warehouse.

After the adjustment, Meng Xiang's body has undergone some changes. In addition to the two points increase in each caste, there were additional improvements in spirit and intelligence, each with four points higher. It seems that some time ago, he got a lot of exercise.

When Meng Xiangxing's activities were more flexible and powerful, he finally received the news of the smooth placement of the sub-base.

A large area around it had already been explored, and the most secluded of several candidate sites had been chosen.

If it is too close to the Zhaoyuan gold mining area, it is easy to be exposed. In Meng Xiang's calculations, the main role of the sub-base is still to leave a way back, and concealing the surname has naturally become the primary condition.

There is a mountainous hill between Zhaoyuan and Longkou. In the eastern region, there is a place called Changsheng. There is a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, which is relatively secluded, and the area inside is also very spacious, which is conducive to the development of the base buildings. It is not very far to go out of the mountain pass, and there is a road that leads to Zhaoyuan and Longkou. Ideal as a sheltered base.

The most important thing is that there is only one small mountain village around the area, and there are only 11 families in total. Before the generous compensation that made everyone blush, the group moved to a place twenty miles away.

Although there is also the possibility of revealing secrets, how many ways can Meng Xiang have, and he can't do it if it's too drastic. I can only hope that the mountain people at this time do not have much contact with the outside world, and the leakage of secrets will be slower, and as long as the base grows and grows, they will not be afraid of anything.

With Meng Xiang's upgrade, the camouflage function of the base was also turned on under Meng Xiang's orders. Although the base has been unfolded, and the huge metal building lies there like a giant monster, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is just an ordinary village.

For this holographic camouflage technology, Meng Xiang couldn't figure it out for a long time. Obviously, he looks like a steel monster, how did Li Ting and the others who specially found him to be tempted say that they were a few ordinary thatched houses. However, the second-class clones can still recognize the base.

After testing more than a dozen miners from near and far, he was sure that this holographic camouflage function was indeed effective, and Meng Xiang was relieved.

The sub-base was also successfully launched, and Meng Xiang's merits suddenly rose by 10,000 points. The camouflage function of the sub-base was also turned on at the same time, and it looked like it was just a small mountain village, which did not arouse the suspicion of outsiders. The clones in military uniforms stood out here, and the rest were no different from ordinary mountain villages.

The sub-base was smoothly launched, and Meng Xiang was the first to build a barracks, and he built four barracks at once.

If you are not in this era, you can't understand the meaning of having more people and more power. In the face of the battle in which [***] and the devil were hundreds of thousands of people, or even hundreds of thousands, the thousand or so people brought by Meng Xiang seemed insignificant, and a sense of powerlessness involuntarily rose in his heart.

Think about the two world wars, when the numbers reached a certain size, it was absolutely terrifying. Just compare the tank battles between the USSR and Germany in the future.

Compared with the madness of the devils and all the soldiers, the number of millions of people in the late World War II, or even nearly 10 million, no sense of crisis is fake.

It is precisely because of this sense of crisis that Meng Xiang came to build a large number of troops.

Perhaps, recruiting from the population will also work. But at this time, Meng Xiang, who was unknown, did not have the spirit of Wang Ba, and not many people came to defect.

Even if there are more people recruited, a half-otaku can envelop them? The intrigue between them is not as good as the loyal clone soldiers. The clone soldier obeys orders and has excellent personal skills and tactics, so he can be considered the best soldier.

And, most crucially, the demand for clone soldiers is very low, and there is no need to pay military salaries. If it is a solicitor, now Meng Xiang has no money to pay, and the base, a big gold-swallowing household, cannot supply it.

Therefore, Meng Xiang resolutely chose to develop clones.

The continuous good news gave Meng a premonition that his good days were coming.

But the reality was cruel, and it turned out that his hunch was also inaccurate.

It didn't take long for the main base to tell him bad news: there was also an energy crisis at the sub-base.

"What? Not enough power at the sub-base? How so? Meng Xiang yelled at Zhi Brain again.

"How can there be no electricity? Isn't the base with 300,000 kilowatts? Only four barracks were built at the sub-base. Four barracks! How much electricity can you use in four barracks? Meng Xiang shouted angrily, there is no time for this base to stop.

"The main base comes from other planes, and has some of the characteristics and functions of that plane, plus the transformation of the remaining energy of the time machine, resulting in unknowable mutations. The ordinary base car has only 100,000 kilowatts of electric energy, and although the regular consumption of the sub-base is only 50,000 kilowatts, it needs 100,000 kilowatts to operate at full power. Therefore, there must be other energy sources to provide first. The main base brain still replied calmly. However, what Meng Xiang didn't notice was that Zhi Brain's answer was already somewhat humanly worded.

"I see. In the final analysis, you are special, and if other bases want to develop, they must first build power stations! Meng Xiang lowered his head in frustration and muttered to himself, the image on the big screen next to him flashed, but Zhi Brain did not say anything.

The construction of the power station requires coal and oil to provide electricity, fortunately, when Meng Xiang chose Zhaoyuan, he thought that there was a coal mine in Longkou, which was not far away, which could provide convenience for future development.

It's just that at this time, the mining and transportation capacity is very poor. The coal mines there are unusable, and they are close to the sea, and when the time comes, as soon as the devils blockade them, there will be nothing.

Is it to die down, or to vigorously develop?

This choice was placed in front of Meng Xiang again.

The sub-base was used as a back road from the beginning, and it seemed that it was the most appropriate to stop fighting. But the disguise function that appeared after his upgrade gave him another chance.

Even if I came, I wouldn't be able to occupy the remote area. Sub-bases disguised as mountain villages are not taken much seriously.

And even if the main base is destroyed, the development of the sub-base still has to consider the problem of energy, without energy, it can only be hung there and passively beaten. He said that after I occupied this place, it would be more difficult to develop secretly. If this is not the case, we should be the first to develop more and have more self-protection capabilities.

He rarely smoked the inferior cigarettes of this era, and the red cigarette butts lit up all night.

The next day, the unwillingness in Meng Xiang's heart finally made him make a decision. Do everything in your power to grow and grow first. Perhaps, there is even more hope.

After making up his mind, Meng Xiang built another power station at the sub-base and transferred two armed mining vehicles from the main base. Plus a dozen World War I-era trucks were supplied first.

Fortunately, at this time, not many people knew about the coal mine in Longkou, taking advantage of the cheap land price and the sea, so Meng Xiang successfully bought a large piece of land in the Wali area, blocked it, and used it for coal mining. The conditions are limited, and there is no supply for more, so the barracks can only send troops smoothly.

At this time, the power supply of the main base was also strained, but fortunately, more than a dozen World War I trucks were produced with more than a dozen mining trucks to replenish the power.

The mining farm was also used by power rationing, and Meng Xiang did not expect it to pay much money, or to buy and sell arms and medicines the fastest.

Now, the camouflage of the base has been resolved, and only the base upgrade is left to make Meng Xiang worry.

As soon as you upgrade, it's a huge change. It's a pity that Zhi Brain told him that the science and technology center needed scientists, but it blocked him.

How can we quickly train engineers to become scientists?

Meng Xiang made two more engineers, but their upgrades were very slow and slow, and the slowness disappointed Meng Xiang a little.
