Wasteland Conqueror Chapter 83 Base Expansion

Date Wednesday, August 12th, 2268

A couple of hours later, I woke up in between my two peacefully snoozing beauties, feeling like a million bucks.

Ahh, I could get used to this.

I thought to myself as I laid there comfortably with both of my won unconsciously latched onto my muscular body. Glancing at each of them I found Alice hugging onto my right arm and squishing her large supple breasts against it and Rei on the other resting her head on my left bicep whilst attaching the rest of herself to my left side with one of her toned but soft legs laying atop my own.

Enjoying their company and touch while I could before I inevitably needed to head off to work and further my plans as well as myself, I began going over the progress my chanical forces had made when I was engaging in carnal pleasures with my precious won and later catching so zzzs.

Let's see what the boys accomplished over the last several hours... Oh, it looks like they've been quite busy and have gotten a ton done in this relatively short period of ti.

They've cleaned the place up from top to bottom, fixed every structural issue that existed in the structure, repaired most of the equipnt and manufacturing machinery, implented the full automation upgrades like I ordered them to, fixed up the dozens of elevators spread out across the facility, and drilled down hundreds and hundreds of feet to the water table that has been contaminated by radioactive substances from fallout seeping into the ground and constructed water production and treatnt facilities to remove contaminants and handle waste on the third floor.

In addition to all that, they've turned the entirety of the second underground level from purely storage space to fully automated farms and organized them in such a way that they'll provide a constant stream of radiation free produce every day after no more than a month of growth. Carried out the installation of the defense upgrades I wanted perford on this gargantuan base of mine, replaced all windows in favor of safe virtual ones, and tore down the facility's forr tal security wall and started the framing for the base of the new concrete fortifications and laying rebar.

Plenty satisfied with how things were progressing thus far, I observed them scurry about the base hard at work for a few monts longer before I began thinking about what my workforce should focus on next since a not so small portion of them were sitting around with not a whole lot to do.

Although I'm happy with the current state of things, there are far too many robots working on tasks that don't require additional assistance, many of which are around the fortification construction, so I suppose it's ti to assign my massive workforce more jobs again. Now the question is what should they get to work on next... None of the turrets have been installed just yet, so they can work on installing those throughout the base and bolster the defenses here even more.

That's not that large of a task for the thousands of robots I have under my command, hence they'll need a few more projects to work on... My stock resources are plentiful right now but that won't remain the case for long if I don't do anything about my tal production decreasing from 1,000,000 every day to -8,000,000 due to all those new machines being repaired and converted to full automation.

aning, we're in major need of a massive increase in tal and ore processing capacity if I wish to keep my massive surplus of resources where it is, which I very much do because you never know what the future holds.

Having said that, I don't want to just have a bazillion small arc furnaces since they're not exactly fitting for this facility and its heightened ceilings. Thus, new equipnt will need to be designed and built specifically to take advantage of the increased space. And seeing how I already have the small arc furnace design in my possession, I might as well use it as a base and just adjust its dinsions and scale everything up...

Intent on using my previous design to cut down on what it would normally take to design a whole new piece of equipnt, I quickly began modifying the existing design in my head and making the necessary adjustnts wherever they were needed.

Hmm, its current count of heating elents isn't great, so the efficiency will be kind of lacking if I just send this to my robots, so let's increase the number of heating elents... There, that should do the trick.

Finished making that design in a matter of a dozen seconds, I went back to brainstorming, not yet satisfied with the number of tasks.

What else are we needing... Well, since I've just created a design to process more ore and tal, I'm going to need to increase our mining rate as well to keep everything at their current levels. I also got plans for expansion into the earth and connecting with the tro tunnels that run all across the U.S. so I guess my robots should begin increasing the number of levels underground. Now, how many levels am I going to need... There are quite a few ore veins running underground nearby, so 10 total levels underground should be sufficient for my near future requirents.

Sending off another task for my forces to handle, I was about to once again return to brainstorming, but I was interrupted by my system.

✩ | Base Expansion | Objectives: Expand the number of underground levels in the Cornerstone Stronghold to a total of 10. Rewards: Perk | Base Planner |, 10,000 Exp.

Nice another quest to farm rewards from.

Closing out of that quest, I refocused my thoughts.

We're going to need industrial fridges and freezers for the literal tons of food we'll begin harvesting in a month, so the robots can work on that too and install them on the second underground level where the food production will be done... And just to keep everything together, general food storage can go there too.

There is that armory idea I brought up yesterday as well, because of not wanting to have weapons and armor just floating around openly in the warehouses, so one for loadouts can be built on the ground floor and the main one will be on the level just below. And since that will be getting built, we're going to require sowhere to train our firing accuracy, so I'll have my chanical n dig out and construct an attached firing range.

Continuing on in that sa training vein, I'm going to have them addon to the gym on the first underground floor and construct similar training facilities to the ones I had at the Genesis Foundry, although with a higher ceiling of difficulty. Implenting that will allow to continue progressing well into the future.

Is there anything else that needs to be worked on in the short term... The Sparrows I have flying around and monitoring the general area have spotted a ton of low-level wildlife in the environnt surrounding my base, so my combat forces could work on culling that and bring so exp gains.

After they have eliminated the creatures in the surroundings, I can have my forces start installing S-3 Trapdoor Turrets in large numbers in the cleared environnt to handle any would-be intruders that enter my territory and send the Sparrows to scout further out.

As soon as I issued my forces that order, they grouped up into large squads and set off with plenty of arms, ready to slaughter most of the wasteland creatures found in my territory. Minus a few exceptions, of course, with my flying Sparrows providing locational information on the plethora of targets from up above.

Okay, that should be enough jobs for my robots when it cos to the Cornerstone Stronghold. Now what should I do regarding my population of bandits... I don't have a research facility set up yet, so I could have my robots initiate work on that, but I don't particularly want those vile things in my ho.

I guess I'm going to need to construct a research facility elsewhere... I will be expanding underground and placing most of my important facilities down there, so I could just stick it underground too... Yeah, I'll just build a research and personal workshop for myself in the earth below and away from my base, although still connected.

And since I'm going to be doing all that, I might as well link it up with bandits' current living arrangents/forr hideout and turn that place into an actual prison to hold them and whoever else I capture in my future travels. It would also be pretty easy to set up and expand upon in the future with it sitting right next to the abandoned Ironstone Mine and all, so it would make the most sense to keep it over there.

✩ | Hell On Earth | Objectives: Construct a state-of-the-art research facility, personal workshop, and prison with a minimum holding capacity of 1,000 human-sized beings and fill it up with test subjects. Rewards: Perks | Human Trials |, | Torturer |, | Prison Warden |, 10 Intelligence Points, 50 Magic Points, 50 dicine Points, 50 Repair Points, 50 Science Points, 462,000 Exp.

Hell on earth, aye, I can create that for those human scum for sure, and you know what, I think that's just the right na for the prison, too.

Done coming up with new jobs for my forces to implent and take care of, I decided it was finally ti to get my ass out of bed, so I slipped out of my lovers' hold on with Ghost and disappeared to the bathroom. After a short stop there, I grabbed a quick bite to eat in the kitchen before silently slipping out of our ho and beginning my trek to the ground floor. Speedily reaching the cargo elevator I had taken yesterday, I hopped on it and rode it down to the ground floor.

Whilst I was patiently waiting for it to arrive at my destination, I began figuring out what I wanted to do in the 7 hours I had available to play with till my sleeping beauties opened their eyes.

I got even more ti to work with than ever before, so what do I want to spend it on? I'll be working out and training as always, so that's not even sothing to consider…There is all the new automated manufacturing machinery I need to design, so I suppose I can work on that in my temporary personal workshop on the first floor.

And when I'm done making all those new designs, I know I’m more than likely going to have to pay a visit to Crystal Springs with Mary, so we can inform her parents of her safety. We haven’t discussed anything regarding that since she decided she wanted to pursue a relationship with , but I highly doubt she would be alright with letting her family sit in limbo regarding her safety and whether she’s dead or alive. So, with that being as it is, I’m going to have to make my way eastward and then southward later.

However, I have no intention of making that trip on foot because that would just end up simply being a waste of ti. I could take one of the many vehicles I have on hand, but I don’t think rocking up in one of my tracked combat vehicles would be all that great of an idea.

I guess I’ll be producing a new ans of transportation, one that can seat two and get us from A to B and back fast… Maybe a motorcycle, it has been quite a number of years since I’ve been able to operate one of those and I’m not gonna lie I kind of miss it.

If I got any ti after all that, I can look into creating a couple new weapons to add to my arsenal. Once I've completed those bunch of tasks, it should be around ti to head back upstairs.

Having co up with a decent plan for my morning, I changed my destination to the gym located on the first underground level. The mont the cargo elevator arrived at the floor, I stepped off and walked off in the direction of the gym, intent on furthering my power and reaching greater heights.
