After reviewing the detailed data of the drone, Lorraine opened a map of their continent.
The entire continent resembles a low-cut boot with the toe pointing south. They are currently located at the very top of the toe, and the nearest landmass to the fleet is a super-large island with an area of over 70000 square kilometers.
This island, like this continent, belongs to the Red Earth Federation. The land under the Federation's jurisdiction is red in color due to its vast reserves of high-grade open-pit iron ore. Hence, the Federation is named the Red Earth Federation.
The federation is extremely rich in mineral resources, possessing at least 70 types of minerals, making it the world's largest exporter of mineral resources.
The federation also has two rivers that are over 2400 kilometers long, with a drainage area of more than 150 million square kilometers. However, due to climate issues, the total amount of surface freshwater on this continent is relatively small and unevenly distributed.
In general, this continent is rich in mineral resources, sparsely populated, and its mineral deposits are mainly distributed in the eastern, southeastern, and southwestern coastal areas. There are no large-scale mineral deposits in the central region where mineral resources are concentrated.
After a refueling run with a partner aircraft, fighter jets taking off from Red Peak Island can travel between the central region of the Red Earth Federation and Red Peak Island.
When the amphibious battle group docks near the southern bay of the Red Earth Federation, the Grey Falcon UAVs launched from the amphibious assault ship are even able to carry out reconnaissance missions over the central region for at least 4 hours.
In this way, the unmanned combat group that goes to the central region to carry out reconnaissance missions can call for air support at any time.
However, to frequently conduct long-range air support, they need to provide the aircraft with sufficient fuel.
After some deliberation, Lorraine decided that after replenishing the shipyard with sufficient armed forces, he would head to the oil drilling platform in the northwest to investigate.
After organizing these general plans, Lorraine, surrounded by Ouyang Nian, Bai Jin, and Lin Shu, excitedly opened the kill reward interface.
[Defeat a Level 5 Overlord]
[Slay the Level 5 Overlord Lava Form]
[Kill Rewards: Level 1-5 Database, 3 Level 3 Weapon Selection Packs, 5 Level 3 Equipment Selection Packs, 18 Level 5 Weapon Selection Packs, 26 Level 5 Equipment Selection Packs, 225 Material Selection Packs, 20000 Units of High-Energy Explosives.]
[Slay 485 silicon-based creatures]
[Reissued kill reward: Complete guide to individual electromagnetic weapons, complete guide to general technologies for 20-400mm electromagnetic guns, and high-energy laser defensive coating.]
[Special Reward: Anti-Gravity Unit *1]
When the special reward appeared, the four of them fell silent.
After an unknown amount of time, Ouyang Nian finally spoke.
"Besides nuclear power, I don't know of any other energy source that can meet his enormous energy consumption needs when he's working."
Lorraine shrugged.
"Let's first check what technologies are in the database, starting with Level 5 energy technologies."
Lorraine manipulated the controls on the control panel, separating the various technologies in the database and compiling them into individual volumes. He then projected the weapon technology, energy technology, agricultural technology, and industrial technology onto the control panel screen.
During the fleet's return voyage, the four people in the cockpit were completely immersed in a sea of technology.
When the fleet docked at the pier, it was almost noon. After a quick bite to eat, Ouyang Nian and Lin Shu turned their attention back to the new technologies, while Luo Lin and Bai Jin returned to the base's command center to communicate with Yao Guang.
It wasn't until 8 p.m. that Lorraine and Platinum left the base's command center. Immediately afterward, the unmanned combat boats that had just been repaired and modified sailed out of the waterway below the mountain and headed straight for the entrances to the straits on the east and west sides.
Subsequently, a large number of robots emerged from the underground passage and began to modify and upgrade the existing equipment according to the technology provided by Lorraine.
Inside the underground base, more unmanned units and production facilities are being deactivated by Yaoguang.
Overnight, the entire base was thriving. Arriving at the dry dock, Yao Guang delivered all the materials needed for the modification of the Sea Knight to a nearby warehouse.
Before the Sea Knight and the flagship sailed into the dock, Lorraine checked the Sea Knight's modification plan one last time. After confirming that everything was correct, the modification officially began.
The refit of the Sea Knight is expected to take 108 hours.
"It seems the flagship's overall performance has improved significantly after the upgrade!"
After a sigh, Lorraine returned to the command center with the portable terminal and the three women, and began to use the newly acquired technology to enhance their own forces.
Just as the group was discussing the subsequent modification plan, Lorraine noticed that the flagship was consuming fuel at an abnormal rate. After inspection, Lorraine discovered that the gas turbine and diesel engine currently equipped on the flagship were insufficient to allow the nanobots to operate at full power.
"Tsk!"
Lorraine shook his head helplessly, then asked Yao Guang how to obtain a small nuclear fission reactor or its raw materials.
According to the information in my database, none of the countries surrounding the Red Earth Federation have nuclear-powered ships, but the Red Earth Federation does possess mineral resources that include raw materials for manufacturing nuclear fission reactors.
The nuclear reactor located at the deepest part of the base is currently shut down, but it is expected to be restarted within seven days after the modification project is completed.
After pondering for a moment, Lorraine asked Yao Guang about the ongoing renovation project.
Ongoing renovation projects include: a large-scale water purification plant, an industrial machine shop, a 3D printing plant, a smelting plant, and a chemical plant.
The following renovation projects have not yet started: a robotics factory, an aircraft factory, a weapons factory, and a shipyard.
[Projects currently in the planning stage: Canopy system, ecological cultivation chamber, smart satellite factory, small-scale mass delivery track.]
Once the canopy system is completed, the island will be able to meet the living needs of 4 people and keep them away from the existing dangers.
[Smart torpedoes have been deployed at the four strait entrances on both the east and west sides, and lighter, more energy-efficient catamaran patrol boats are expected to be put into service in five days.]
Are you aware of the extent of the damage on Lania Island?
Lania Island has a land area of 7.2 square kilometers and a population of 52. 40% of the island is designated as national parks or nature reserves.
The central, southeastern, and northern parts of the island are primarily engaged in livestock farming, particularly cattle and sheep, while the northwestern part is dominated by manufacturing and is also the island's largest population center.
Based on the situation on Red Peak Island, it is estimated that there are approximately 70 zombies of various types on the island.
Listening to Yang Guang's report, Lorraine suddenly interjected.
Do you know what deep-dive mode is?
