The announcement from Xuanwu Base was released very quickly.
It wasn't that Li Weidong was keeping his promise; the main problem was that the highly polluted area was too close to the Oasis base.
Fang Qingdai is a high-level spatial ability user, and Li Weidong knows that she can manipulate space to infiltrate that area.
After probing several times to confirm that Fang Qingdai had not yet discovered the energy stone, Li Weidong was eager to acquire the land, even at the cost of sending the Oasis Base into the Base Alliance.
He worried that things might change if he waited too long, and that Fang Qingdai might become suspicious and return to that area to search again.
So, as soon as the announcement was issued that day, the Xuanwu Base immediately sent people to take over that area. The power grid and energy detection devices were installed, making it clear who was being targeted.
But Fang Qingdai didn't care. She quickly purified the more than 200 kilograms of energy stones and extracted them into energy liquid, which she then distributed to the people of the base!
Fang Qingdai gave all the energy stones she brought back from the front lines to Wutongmu so that it could use them for planting.
I've heard that a large patch of new energy stone buds has already sprouted. If we leave them alone and give them more time to develop, the oasis base will surely harvest more energy stones.
The current harvest is quite substantial; planting it all would yield even greater returns.
But Fang Qingdai couldn't wait any longer.
Oasis Base's entry into the Base Alliance through this opportunity has both advantages and disadvantages. The biggest disadvantage is that all three bases will take Oasis Base seriously and begin to be more vigilant.
There is even a high probability that, in order to prevent the Oasis Base from becoming too comfortable, the three parties will join forces to drag the Oasis Base down with them.
After all, that's how the Xuanwu base got involved before.
Now the Oasis Base has become the power that could potentially reap the benefits. Recently, it has even sold grain and earned a lot of resources, making it a growing threat every day. The three bases will definitely not allow the Oasis Base to remain peaceful for long.
Moreover, Fang Qingdai has already taken the energy stones from the contaminated area, and Li Weidong will soon realize that something is wrong.
When that time comes, Oasis Base will inevitably face Li Weidong's retaliation.
Fang Qingdai pondered for a moment, then immediately sought out Jing Yi, and the two went together to Elder Li's new research lab.
"Mr. Li, we urgently need to strengthen our defenses. We have already found all the materials for the solar energy concentrators, so please take care of it."
Old Li nodded: "I understand."
Fang Qingdai then continued, "As for the fighter jet R&D department you mentioned, we have already selected the personnel. They are all talents with rich experience in mechanical manufacturing. Please take this opportunity to guide them!"
Fang Qingdai didn't want to exploit a disabled elderly person, but there are too few highly educated people like her nowadays.
As a top scientist in the wasteland, he is bound to bear a heavy burden.
All Fang Qingdai could do was provide him with all the necessary materials and resources, and fully support Professor Li's various research plans.
Fortunately, some people are born to bring miracles. Old Li accepted the task without a word of complaint and said, "Our satellite development project is in its final stages. If all goes well, we can conduct a launch test at the beginning of next month."
Fang Qingdai was pleasantly surprised: "Really? That's so tall!"
What is the success rate of the launch?
Old Li's face also showed a slight smile: "The foundation laid before was very solid, and after overcoming the technical difficulties, the subsequent work went very smoothly. I participated in the satellite development at the Qinglong Base before, and based on my previous experience, the success rate should be around 70%."
Seventy percent isn't particularly high, but it's enough.
It should be noted that, apart from the Qinglong base, none of the other three bases have launched their own satellites yet.
As the second successful satellite base station construction project, Oasis Base's scientific research capabilities also give it a significant advantage.
With Elder Li in charge of the rear, the construction of the front-line defenses quickly got on track and progressed very rapidly.
The main reason is that the Oasis base is not short of manpower now. It doesn't matter that there are few people with superpowers, but there are plenty of ordinary people.
Nearly 100,000 ordinary people, apart from those who had to engage in essential agricultural work, devoted themselves to producing the power grid and other equipment needed for the defense line.
In just two weeks, the border defense line of the Oasis base was set up.
After the border defense line is established, bases and outposts need to be built to facilitate patrol members.
The subjects, who had just finished production, were immediately transferred to construction. With the help of the superpowered individuals, their construction speed was comparable to that of the Chinese construction teams in the 21st century!
With the completion of the first two outposts, the satellite base station at Oasis Base has also been fully completed, and Oasis-1 satellite is in place and ready for launch experiments!
Before the satellite launch, Fang Qingdai personally made a trip to the Qinglong Base.
They need to inform the Qinglong base before launching the satellite, since the two sides are on friendly terms. A little caution is necessary to avoid misunderstandings and damage to their relationship.
Oasis Base has never deliberately kept its satellite development a secret from Azure Dragon Base; Deputy Wang has even visited Oasis Base's satellite research and development department.
At the time, Fang Qingdai was deliberately testing the waters to see if Deputy Wang and the forces behind him would take any action to stop the Oasis Base's actions after they learned about them.
However, neither the Qinglong Base nor Deputy Wang expressed any opinion from beginning to end.
The Oasis Base sends people to the Azure Dragon Base for training, and the Azure Dragon Base is also generous in sharing its knowledge.
This demonstrates that the Azure Dragon Base is a broad-minded force that is tolerant of the progress of others.
It was precisely because the other party was so generous that Fang Qingdai made a special trip.
When the senior management of Qinglong Base learned that Fang Qingdai had personally come to inform them of the successful development of the satellite at Oasis Base and that a satellite launch experiment would be conducted soon, and that she had also invited personnel from Qinglong Base to visit, they were quite surprised.
The commander of the Azure Dragon Base looked at his row of subordinate officials and asked, "Who is liaising with the Oasis Base? Tell me in detail about the Oasis Base."
"Reporting to the base commander, the officer in charge of liaison with Oasis Base is Lieutenant Wang, but he is currently leading a military exercise in the wasteland and is not at the base!"
Wang's direct superior quickly stood up: "Let me tell you, Wang Lian has reported the situation at the Oasis Base to me."
He explained in detail the development and philosophy of the Oasis Base, focusing on wheat and rice seeds, and concluded: "The Oasis Base is completely different from the other three bases in the wasteland. Their development philosophy is more in line with ours, and their leaders are more humane and more willing to consider the needs of the humans in the wasteland."
"Not long ago, our base sent two groups of people. The first group was to assist the Oasis Base in managing and housing refugees. The Oasis Base accepted the refugees that we couldn't take in without hesitation, and they didn't ask us for any supplies, they just asked for people to help manage them."
His words drew surprise from everyone present.
The base commander also asked, "Are they capable of taking in so many people? And they're all ordinary people?"
"Yes, the Oasis Base has already developed exceptionally well by growing wheat. Now, it has independently developed a satellite, and it's likely that it will soar into the sky with the launch of the satellite!"
