C485 Construction Base
The two of them slowly descended from the sky and landed on the beach of the island.
"This place... "How desolate." The helmet automatically returned to Zhou Yi's head. Zhou Yi put his hand on his forehead and looked around.
The terrain did not have high and low elevation, and the jungle was sparse. There were not even many seabirds in sight. Although it was called an island, in reality, it was just a "bulge in the water" formed by stone and sand.
There were really too many of such islands in the sea. Some of them were relatively small, so they were likely to be present today. The next time they came, they would already be silent.
The island was relatively large, several thousand square meters in size. It was quite a distance above the sea level. If this was a main channel, then it would be good to transform it into a port to supply the ships.
"Be content with the large area, the wide and sturdy foundation under the water, and the fact that it's not eye-catching, it's not easy to satisfy your requirements. Even with the anti-entropy resources, I still spent a lot of effort to find this place."
Ming Yu also slowly took off his helmet, walking slowly towards the front, and said: "Besides, you are going to build a mechanized base, and most of the area is underwater. Why do you need so many flowers and plants?"
"That's true." Zhou Yi smiled as he took out the high-tech factory that had shrunk into a box.
The two of them came here to establish a secret base for Zhou Yi's third step. With this base as the foundation, they could develop in all aspects and didn't have to worry about the problem of lacking of strength.
Soon, Zhou Yi opened up a high-tech factory in the center of the island.
As Ming Yu said, this island was a bit more barren and flat, which was beneficial to the development of high-tech factories. Otherwise, if it was an island filled with dense jungle, Zhou Yi really wouldn't want to destroy that kind of natural vegetation.
One after another, robots walked out of the high-tech factory.
"Investigate the island and draw up a map!" Zhou Yi gave his first order.
These robots were obviously not mechanical life forms, but the artificial intelligence they were carrying was already quite high, so they could understand most of Zhou Yi's commands. Thus, the moment Zhou Yi gave the order, the robots began moving.
"Yes, if there's no problem, let's begin the next step."
There was still a problem to be dealt with before construction could begin.
First of all, the island was worthless. It was certain that no matter which country's military reconnaissance satellite it was, it would not waste time or resources on detecting the place.
However, there were too many satellites in the sky. For example, some geological reconnaissance satellites, meteorological satellites, and so on, would take pictures of many places on Earth. It was hard to say whether or not this island would be photographed again. It was true that this island was insignificant, and no one had the leisure to go over the satellite maps, but what if? No matter how low the probability was, it was still possible.
In order to avoid such low-probability incidents, Zhou Yi took another approach.
"Sizzle sizzle."
One after another, drones with a length of about 2.2 meters, shaped like a mini version of the F22, flew out of the factory and quickly flew towards the surroundings of the island.
When it reached the designated position, the belly of the drone instantly opened up. A black shadow suddenly dropped down, and with a "peng" sound, it stabbed into the slope.
As for the drone that flew past, before the black shadow could penetrate the soil, it had already flown out for over a hundred meters and disappeared into the distance.
This scene was not only happening here, the other nine drones were flying in an orderly manner around the island, at the designated target location, they would activate the belly bulkhead, instantly dropping the equipment.
The 10 already set up projector equipment immediately began projecting towards the sky, in the blink of an eye enveloping the entire island. Even if there was a satellite passing by, if it was just visible light, there was no need to be afraid anymore. The technology of the future would overwhelm that of the present.
After the concealment, the robots began their work. Soon, the entire beach was filled with all kinds of supplies and equipment. Under the implementation of the designed procedures, some of the robots drove engineering vehicles and digging equipment, while others began to move building materials. With the arm strength of these robots, even 10 tons of building materials could be moved easily, which was a hundred times more convenient than humans.
"How's the seabed survey going?"
Zhou Yi held his tablet in his hand as he stared at the screen.
His current position was less than ten meters from the seaside. Rows and rows of splashes continuously rose up onto the beach, then quickly retreated. Several cables and fibre-optic cables were connected from the large equipment on the shore. After that, they were connected to the bottom of the sea along the beach. This was how the submersible robots transmitted the data back in real time.
With this island as the center, it was roughly a hundred meters outwards, and the depth of the sea was at most fifty meters. And 100 meters out, the depth swiftly rose. After just 500 meters, the ocean reached a depth of over 300 meters. If he headed out again, he would be able to swiftly reach a depth of over 1,000m.
The island surrounding the seabed environment is good, there is no rush of water, and it is not in the seismic zone, suitable for large-scale underwater engineering.2
There was no need to worry about the entire construction of the base. With the support of more than 200 robots, the moment the construction began, the speed would be astonishingly fast.
The shortest distance, the shortest steps, the most effective construction plan, plus the incomparably advanced equipment and building materials, Zhou Yi and Ming Yu sat from the morning till the afternoon, and then they heard the large shield machine starting the excavation in the distance.
"Hm, it's a bit faster than I thought." Ming Yu said with a faint smile as he held a big bag of potato chips in his hand.
"Of course," Zhou Yi raised the barbecue in his hand. "Now you should completely trust me, right?"
"I believed it when you played that game." Ming Yu said, "After the construction scale is set, we should be able to start the fourth step of the plan."
"Yes, actually I have already prepared the fourth step of the plan. However, our Pc version has just come online, so I want to ferment for a while to attract some bad intentions, so that I can get rid of them and pave the way for the fourth step."
Zhou Yi answered calmly.
"It's better to pay attention. There are some guys whose background is not so simple. It's better not to be too extreme."
"I understand." Zhou Yi sighed, "The business is getting bigger and bigger. From Lee Family alone, even if we have Lee Tai and Lee Zhao, I'm afraid we won't be able to drag it on for long. We still have to solve the problem from the root."
Zhou Yi stood up and expressionlessly looked at the island under his feet, "Strength, only strength is the only guarantee, this is the starting point of my strength protection. Once I build up this place, I will produce my mechanized army and high-tech weapons, not to mention Martial King, I won't even fear the Martial Emperor. Let's see who submitted first! "
