Chapter 23 Holographic Camouflage and Sub-base Power Crisis

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

After the adjustment, Meng Xiang's body has changed a little. In addition to the improvement of all attributes, his spirit and intelligence have been improved by an additional level, each with four points. It seems that he has received a lot of exercise some time ago.

When Meng Xiang was happy to have more flexible and powerful hands and feet, he finally received news of the successful resettlement of the branch base.

A large area around there has been long been detection, and one of the most hidden places was selected among several candidate locations.

If it is too close to the Zhaoyuan gold mining area, it is easy to be exposed. In Meng Xiang's calculation, the main function of the sub-base is to leave a way out, and concealment naturally becomes 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 hidden and the area inside is very spacious, which is conducive to the development of the base buildings. It is not very far away from the mountain pass and there is a road that can connect to Zhaoyuan and Longkou. It is very ideal as a hidden base.

The most important thing is that there is only one small mountain village around the local area, with only eleven families in total. Before the generous compensation that made everyone jealous, they moved to a place twenty miles away.

Although there is also the possibility of revealing secrets, Meng Xiang can do many ways, and he cannot do the too intense methods. He can only hope that the mountain people at this time will not communicate with the outside world, and will leak secrets slowly. As long as the base grows and grows, he will not be afraid of anything.

With Meng Xiang's upgrade, the base's disguise function was also opened under Meng Xiang's command. Although the base has been unfolded and the huge metal building is lying there like a huge monster, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is just an ordinary village.

Meng Xiang couldn't figure out this kind of holographic disguise technology after working on it for a long time. He looked like he was just a steel monster, but why did he find Li Ting and others who tried it all said that they were several ordinary thatched huts. However, the cloned soldiers of the Rat Class can still recognize the base.

After testing more than a dozen miners from far and near, they confirmed that the holographic disguise function was indeed effective, and Meng Xiang felt relieved.

The sub-base was also successfully launched, and Meng Xiang's merits were raised by 10,000 points at once. The disguise function of the sub-base was also turned on at the same time. It looked like a small mountain village and did not arouse doubts from outsiders. It looked more conspicuous here than those cloned soldiers wearing military uniforms, and the others were no different from ordinary small mountain villages.

The branch base was successfully launched, and Meng Xiang first built a barracks, and four barracks were built at once.

It is not in this era that I can't understand the meaning of being too many people and having great power. Faced with a battle of more than 100,000 people and even hundreds of thousands of people, the 1,000 people brought by Meng Xiang seemed insignificant, and a feeling of powerlessness in his heart involuntarily.

Think about it for a moment, when the number reaches a certain scale in World War Two, it is absolutely terrifying. Comparing the tank wars between the Soviet Union and Germany in the future, you will know.

Compared with the crazy situation where the Japanese were all soldiers, the number of millions of troops in the late World War II, it is fake to have no sense of crisis.

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

Perhaps, it is okay to recruit soldiers from the people. But at this time, the nameless Meng Xiang did not have the aura of a turtle, and not many people came to join him.

Even if there are too many people recruited, can a half-otaku win over them? The intrigue between them is worse than the loyal cloned soldiers. The cloned soldiers obey orders and have excellent personal skills and tactics, so they can be regarded as the best soldier.

Moreover, the most important thing is that the demand for cloning soldiers is very low and there is no need to pay military salaries. If we recruit people, Meng Xiang has no money to pay now, and the base, a big money-eating company, cannot provide it.

Therefore, Meng Xiang firmly chose to develop cloning soldiers.

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

But the reality is cruel, and the facts prove that his premonition is not accurate.

Not long after, the main base’s intelligent brain told him a bad news: there was also an energy crisis in the sub-base.

"What? There is not enough electricity at the base? Why is this happening?" Meng Xiang shouted at the smart brain again.

"How come there is no electricity? Didn't the base bring its own 300,000 kilowatts? Only four barracks have been built by the base. Four barracks! How much electricity can the four barracks use?" Meng Xiang shouted angrily, and the base had not stopped.

"The main base comes from other space-time and space, with some of the characteristic functions of this space-time and space-time, and the transformation of the remaining energy of the time machine, produces an unknown mutation. The ordinary base vehicle has only 100,000 kilowatts of electricity. Although the daily consumption of the sub-base is only 50,000 kilowatts, the full power operation requires 100,000 kilowatts. Therefore, other energy must be provided first." The main base intelligent brain still answered calmly. However, what Meng Xiang did not notice was that the answers of the intelligent brain were already made by humans.

"I understand. After all, you are special. If other bases want to develop, you must first build a power station!" Meng Xiang lowered his head in frustration and said to himself. The images on the big screen next to him flashed, but the smart brain did not say anything.

When building a power station, coal and oil are needed to provide electricity. Fortunately, when Meng Xiang chose Zhaoyuan, he thought that there was a coal mine not far away from Longkou, which could provide convenience for future development.

But at this time, the mining and transportation capacity was very poor. The coal mines there could not be used, and they were close to the beach. At that time, the Japanese would blockade and there would be nothing.

Should we stop the battle or make great efforts?

This choice was placed before Meng Xiang again.

The sub-base was taken as a backroad at the beginning, and it seemed that the most suitable thing to stop. However, the disguise function that appeared after his upgrade gave him another chance.

Even if the Japanese come, they cannot occupy remote areas. Sub-bases that disguise themselves as mountain villages are not taken seriously.

Even if the main base is destroyed, the energy issue must be considered in the development of the sub-base. Without energy, you can only be left there and passively be beaten. After the Japanese occupy this place, it will be more difficult to develop secretly. It is not like this that the first step is 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, Meng Xiang's unwillingness finally made him make a decision. He did everything possible to grow and grow first. Maybe there was greater hope.

After making up his mind, Meng Xiang built a power station in the branch base and transferred two armed mining trucks from the main base. In addition, more than a dozen trucks from the World War I period were supplied first.

Fortunately, there were not many people in Longkou's coal mines at this time. Taking advantage of the cheap land prices and the seaside, Meng Xiang successfully bought a large piece of land in the Wali area and blocked it for coalfield mining. The conditions were limited, and there was too much supply, so the barracks could only send troops smoothly.

At this time, the power supply in the main base also became tense. Fortunately, more than a dozen World War I trucks were produced and more than a dozen mining trucks were replenished.

The mining farm was also power-limited, and Mengxiang didn't expect it to pay much, and it would make the money the fastest to buy and sell arms and medicines.

Now that the disguise of the base has been resolved, the only thing left is the upgrade of the base that makes Meng Xiang worry about.

As long as it is upgraded, it will be a huge change. Unfortunately, what the Intelligent Brain told him was that the science and technology center needed scientists, but it blocked him.

How can we quickly train engineers into scientists?

Meng Xiang created two more engineers, but their upgrade speed was very slow, and the slow ones disappointed Meng Xiang.
