At present, the trench for the water and electricity pipelines in the base has been completed, and its internal space is larger than some road tunnels, which can accommodate four family cars to pass side by side, so that the arrangement is to facilitate the layout and maintenance of the pipeline, but the pipeline hardware has not yet been produced, and only a few temporary cables are laid at this time.

The hardware production area was arranged in the volcanic cavern, and the construction there was being watched by Lin Yutang, who was building it into a multi-storey structure to improve the utilization of space.

Lin Jitang calculated the total amount of materials used while directing the construction, and realized that it was impossible to build all of them with steel, because of the weight of steel and the reason for quantity, otherwise according to the total amount of steel needed, even if all the scrap copper and rotten iron in Ningxian City were moved, it was not enough, and it was not enough to count the steel skeleton construction that needed the most steel in the base, so he reflected this problem to Mi Xue.

After receiving the news, Michelle began to think about other building materials, and searched for alternative materials of steel in the holographic computer, trying to find a material that is lightweight, but stronger than steel, and most importantly, can collect more than steel.

Mi Xue saw the search for building materials at night, did not find a suitable choice, and planned to synthesize a new type of material that meets the needs, so she connected to Zhang Meng and asked her opinion.

Time passed slowly in the conversation between the two, and Mi Xue, who had been discussing various technologies with Zhang Meng all night, fell asleep in the early morning and woke up at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Mi Xue hurriedly checked the communication records, dialed the unresponded communications one by one, and relaxed when she learned that there was nothing serious, thinking in a daze if there was anything left unhandled, and suddenly thought of the test of the monitoring sentry, and mobilized the holographic computer to turn out the monitoring sentinel's monitoring.

The monitoring sentry floating on the surface of the water appeared to be intact, with no signs of being attacked by ghosts, and by sending commands to it, it was tested that all of its functions were working properly, and the monitoring sentry had been in the ghost territory for more than 24 hours.

Mi Xue gave a preparation order to the personnel who had been arranged to specialize in the production of monitoring sentinels, preparing to start mass production, and informed Wang Yi of the news.

Wang Yi, who received the news, was not only happy, but also talked about the new problem, the smoke bomb that he thought of yesterday, the requirement for the smoke bomb is that the explosion smoke covers a wide area, and it can be produced in large quantities as if it did not cost money.

Mi Xue in the communication video couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "Why are there so many things?" ”

"It's called a lot of good things, maybe something good will happen soon." Wang Yi smiled and said, "It seems that it will be Chinese New Year's Eve in two days, which should be considered a good thing." ”

"Barely enough." Michelle rubbed her temples and said, "By the way, I forgot to ask you something, how many monitoring sentries will you use next time you explore the path?" ”

"I haven't counted yet, maybe two thousand."

"I'm not asking about the total amount, it's about the amount you'll need for your next pathfinder."

Wang Yi thought for a moment and said, "Then let's come with 30 first, how long will it take to produce them?" ”

"One day." Michelle thought about his pathfinding and continued, "You shouldn't be in a hurry there, right? ”

"Of course, the sooner the better, the sooner it is produced, the sooner it can be produced, the sooner it can be explored."

"Aren't you going to design that smoke grenade?" Michelle asked.

"Exploring the road while designing, don't delay either."

Michelle suggested: "I see that you still wait for the smoke bomb to be produced before going, that thing should not take long, exactly two days later, it is Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone gathers in the base." ”

Wang Yi thought that there was really no need to be too anxious, and agreed: "It's okay, then I'll collect supplies here in Ningxian City in the next two days, Sister Xue, are you okay?" You seem to be a little dizzy. ”

"It didn't take long to wake up."

"Take a break."

"You too, I'll go get something to eat first."

"Well, I'm going to look at the stars."

Wang Yi looked up at the red "stars" in the sky, I don't know if it was an illusion, he always felt that those red rays seemed to be bigger than before, speculated that they were likely to grow, and couldn't help but pray that they would not cause more trouble.

In the following time, the steel collection continued, searching the ruined city of Ningxian to provide building materials for the base, and the silent whisperers under the command of the fierce tiger were still searching the area north of the east of the city at this time, conducting a clockwise carpet search with the center of the city as the midpoint, basically transporting about 3,000 tons of steel to the base every day, and sometimes it could be delivered twice in the past, reaching 6,000 tons.

At present, there is no more than two trips a day, because the amount of steel that can be collected is decreasing, and it takes much longer than the previous time to collect enough to deliver it once, and more time is spent on the way to and from the base, resulting in a decrease in collection efficiency.

It wasn't until 9 a.m. on February 7 that the Whisperers had once again gathered enough steel to make a trip to the base and were preparing to leave, which was only the second delivery after the last call with Michelle.

Wang Yi, who is in the north of Ningxian City, is also ready to return to the base, because today is Chinese New Year's Eve, according to Huameng's tradition, today is to spend with his family, and he is waiting for the fierce tiger to get ready and set off, waiting while chatting with the fierce eagle beside him about those red rays in the sky.

At this time, the red light was the size of a watermelon in Wang Yi's eyes, and what he saw before was just a point of light.

Wang Yi initially thought it was because of their own growth, but when he got the news from the Misty Zone, he knew that they were lowering their altitude, so they looked much bigger, and he didn't know the reason for their lowering altitude for the time being, only that they continued to descend downward.

The speed of the red mang's descent was not very fast, so in the past few days, it only landed in the airspace at an altitude of more than 8,000 meters above the water.

Wang Yi didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing, and asked the fierce eagle beside him, "Do you think they will land on this water?" ”

The Fierce Eagle shook his head slightly, and said, "I can't be sure, as long as they can be lowered to a height of three thousand meters, we have the ability to remove them." ”

Wang Yi believes that they have that ability, but what he is not worried about is the number of red mangs, although they look sparse, but their coverage area is very broad, and it must be a large number when counted, but now they can only take one step at a time, and when they get the news that the fierce tiger is ready, they will start to march towards the base.

Except for the Whisperers and Puppeteers in charge of defense, everyone else inside and outside the base has stopped their original mission and has been given a vacation period that expires until 7 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Ma Yuanliang and others gathered in the large lounge on the north side of the North 1 office, which is a stone room with a flat area of nearly 500 square meters, which has been equipped with complete living facilities, in addition to the kitchen, there are simple entertainment equipment, and various ball tables.
