In the process of building a base, or rather, a living area, Red Alert has already provided the standard answer.
First, solve the energy problem, put up a power plant, then start a mine, solve the resource problem.
Then comes the construction of barracks, heavy industry for troop production to protect the base, and if there is spare capacity, one can also build high-tech, which is the combat laboratory.
The construction work of the capital is the same.
The next morning.
As the first rays of dawn spilled across the sea, accompanied by the chirping of the Manjous and the hustle and bustle of the ship girls, everyone stood neatly in the open space, waiting for their assignments.
“Now, let's start the construction work.”
Lu Chen looked at his initial team.
30 ship girls, 300 Bri, countless Xiao Huang Ji.
All from the Azure world.
“Essex, Da Qinghua Yu, Sha Shui Yu, you take some Bri and Manjous out to sea, go to Athens and Nicaea, build mines and smelting plants there.”
Lu Chen marked a few areas on the map.
The Balkan Peninsula was originally a rich mining area, and the decision to establish the capital in Constantinople was made with this in mind.
Although it's nearly a thousand kilometers from here to Athens, the ship girls can take the sea route, and sea transport is very convenient.
“Okay.”
A ship girl wearing a tight-fitting windbreaker with purple twin tails nodded.
Taking the Bri, they set off on the waves.
The other two submarine ship girls, as soon as they jumped into the sea, disappeared without a trace, leaving only a string of bubbles on the surface.
“Yi Xian, Ning Hai, Ping Hai, you go to Golden Horn Bay, let the Bri and Manjous build the naval base first, we need a port as a foothold.”
Lu Chen looked at the three Dong Huang ship girls.
When they set out from the Azure world, the port area dismantled a naval base and packed it into shipping containers.
All they need to do is put them together.
“Yes, understood.”
Yi Xian nodded lightly, leading the two little ones also set off on the waves to the north.
“Ke Wei, Da Feng, you take some Bri and Manjous, clean up the surface, we'll need to build cities on land later.”
“The range... maybe about this big.”
Lu Chen drew a circle on the map.
“That's nearly 50,000 square kilometers! Commander, how big of a city are you going to build?!”
Ke Wei was taken aback.
From the marked range, the planned area of the capital is nearly 50 times the size of Hong Kong Island, more than three times the size of Tianjing, and if you count the surrounding agricultural areas and airports, the area will be even more exaggerated.
There is no doubt that this will be a giant metropolis.
“That's just the initial plan, we'll need to expand it later, don't get excited.”
“Besides, this is going to be our future capital, isn't it normal to be big?”
Lu Chen didn't care.
“Is that the problem with being big... the area of a small country in South America is about that size..."
Ke Wei was stunned by the man's ambition.
“Ah... as expected of the Commander.”
“As long as it's the Commander's order, no matter what, I will do it...”
Da Feng still had a sickly sweet look on her face, her hands resting on her chin, her eyes gazing at Lu Chen with a tender look.
“...”
Lu Chen wondered if Da Feng had even understood the assignment.
If most ship girls' initial favorability is 50, with some indifferent ones at 30, and more enthusiastic ones like Belfast and Yi Xian between 70-80, then...
Da Feng is literally with heart-shaped eyes, love at first sight, even getting married directly would be no problem.
“If the Commander could come and work with Da Feng, I would be even more motivated...”
The heavy cruiser ship girl looked at Lu Chen with a captivating gaze.
She also intentionally or unintentionally adjusted her clothes, pulling the collar of her kimono down a little, flaunting her figure.
“I'm a brand new aircraft carrier with specially reinforced armor, I can handle any kind of work, look at this flight deck, look at this enclosed hangar, isn't it great?”
“Are you satisfied with Da Feng's body?”
“...”
Whose flight deck is so big, so white? The carrier-based aircraft will crash into the mountain!
Lu Chen thought to himself.
Come on, only Saratoga can be the deck, okay.
“It's not just carrier-based aircraft, oh, if the Commander wants, you can use other things...”
Da Feng's voice was soft and alluring, every word seemed to stir the heart.
“??? ”
Lu Chen felt a fire burning in his heart.
Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind her:
“Put away your equipment, go to work with Ke Wei.”
Richelieu, the flagship of the Free French and also the cardinal.
She forced Da Feng to put on her clothes, wrapping her tightly.
“The Commander will build the naval base with us.”
“Please work quickly with Ke Wei, don't delay the progress.”
“You!?”
Da Feng glared at Richelieu.
“What are you up to?!”
“No, I just think work is more important, we shouldn't be distracted too much in the early stages of building the living area.”
Richelieu answered resolutely.
“We should work together and strive to make this development get on track quickly.”
“...”
The other few ship girls who were a little eager lowered their heads.
Indeed, their purpose in coming here was to assist Lu Chen in rebuilding civilization.
Compared to the flagship's vision, their own perspective was narrow.
“Um...”
Da Feng thought for a moment and accepted this explanation for now.
She took the assignment with Ke Wei.
“Commander, come and find Da Feng when you have time~~”
“As long as you want, I'll be waiting for you in the bridge anytime, absolutely, absolutely no pests will come to disturb us~~”
The other ship girls also made their arrangements.
Some were responsible for surveying the terrain, some were cooking, some were patrolling and scouting, etc.
Finally,
Everyone suddenly realized that only Richelieu was still idle.
“What about your task?”
Da Feng asked curiously.
She had just heard Richelieu say that she needed to prioritize the big picture, so she didn't continue to bother the Commander.
But she found that Richelieu didn't seem to have assigned herself any work.
“As the flagship of the fleet, I'll be the Commander's secretary ship.”
“Responsible for taking care of the Commander's meals, daily life and routine.”
Richelieu replied matter-of-factly.
“What? Do you have any objections?”
“...”
“Ha? ! ”
Da Feng and several other ship girls looked at each other for a few seconds.
“I'm fighting with you!!!”
