My different world is game mode.

Chapter 849: War Preparation

"Lotta, the other party is my friend."

"Until the last moment, I would rather solve the problem peacefully. Fighting is not a good option."

"..."

The puppet maid nodded slightly to show her understanding.

At the same time, as a member of the [Out of Control Machine], Rota is also connected to the reconnaissance system.

Following Lindsay's instructions, she looked to the east and immediately spotted Alice and her group galloping on their horses.

Mechanical species are very sensitive to numbers such as speed and distance.

Hearing that Lindsay had no intention of taking the initiative to attack, Rota immediately calculated and gave a result in just a few seconds:

"Lord Lindsay, I calculated the distance this team has traveled."

"If they keep the same speed, taking into account the rest during the journey, it will take them 27 to 28 hours to reach the top of the base."

"According to the answer given by the computing core, we still have plenty of time."

Lindsay naturally did not doubt Rota's calculations:

"27-28 hours."

"This time is indeed enough to complete the base upgrade."

"But after all, we haven't reached the point of success yet. Before that, we still have to make all necessary preparations."

Rota immediately replied:

"Please give me your orders."

Lindsay thought about the current situation carefully before saying:

"Although you have exchanged information, this base has just been completely transformed by my skills, so there must be some unfamiliar places. In the remaining day, you should get familiar with this place and strengthen the defense. Especially those ordinary humans in the security park, you must also take good care of them..."

At this point, Ye Haiya next to him reacted.

The Silver Witch had just come from the Security Park and was aware of the changes that had taken place in that area:

"Lindsay, you can rest assured about this."

"Before I left, I could sense some changes in the security park, even removing the psychological burden on humans."

"..."

Lindsay blinked at the reminder.

He opened the building list and confirmed the specific effect of the [Humanoid Zoo] - a practical building that can accommodate a large number of humans and improve the happiness of mechanical individuals.

"..."

"So in addition to improving the happiness of mechanical species."

"Even the humans living inside will be appeased to a certain extent. Is this... considered mental castration?"

Just as Lindsay was struggling with the functional details of this building, Ye Haiya took the initiative to speak:

"Lindsay, do you need my help?"

"Your friend is a decent person. If you let her come over like this, a very fierce conflict will break out if there is any disagreement."

Ye Haiya's tone was full of confidence.

She had already recovered some of her skills by guiding the servant machines. Now that Lindsay had gained control of the mechanical race, her status as Lindsay's companion naturally improved, and her skills as an organizer were also unlocked.

However, facing Ye Haiya's self-recommendation, Lindsay still shook his head and refused:

"Let's forget about this."

"If Alice really comes over, I will deal with the problem with her, and you should stay out of it."

Ye Haiya thought of the state of Lindsay and Alice when they were in action before:

"Do you like this girl?"

Lindsay waved her hand and denied it without thinking:

"Not her, I have someone I like."

“As for the relationship between Alice and me - I was her savior at first, but she also helped me a lot afterwards. Until now, we have embarked on adventures together for the same goal. She is undoubtedly a very important friend of mine, but the relationship is just as pure.”

Ye Haiya patted Lindsay on the shoulder:

"You are quite clear about this."

"Even if that child is difficult to get along with in terms of personality, she is definitely a beauty in appearance. It would be difficult for ordinary people to withstand such a test."

Lindsay naturally replied: "I am an old cadre, I can withstand such a test!"

Yahya failed to understand the meaning of Lindsay's words.

However, this little episode did not affect their subsequent preparations.

Ye Haiya returned to the safe park to take care of those anxious humans; Lindsay inspected other buildings in the base to see if there were any newly built facilities that could provide immediate help.

After walking to the [Research Room], Lindsay indeed found a project that could be used. This place is like a university building in a banyan forest, providing a lot of scientific and technological research options.

Lindsay opened the list and took a look.

……

"It's really exaggerated."

"Either improve efficiency or directly improve combat effectiveness."

“And the prices are getting more expensive.”

Lindsay couldn't help but sigh.

The technological effects of [Out of Control Machinery] were also extremely utilitarian. He looked through them all and found that none of them was a waste of resources, and most of the effects were strong.

However, there are currently no research-type mechanical species moving in, so the [Laboratory] is completely stagnant.

Lindsay called Lotta:

"Rota, call over a few mechanical sub-beings who are good at thinking."

The puppet maid was a little confused:

"Good at thinking? Master Lindsay, there is only one computing core in the base?"

Lindsay explained:

"Ordinary ones will do. We just need to let them settle in the laboratory to carry out the research and development of relevant technologies."

After Lindsay explained the mission, Rota immediately went to carry it out.

Watching the puppet maid leave, and then looking at the more than 20 hours of free time left, Lindsay's gaze gradually shifted to herself during this "leisure time".

"..."

"After entering the chaotic space-time, I haven't dealt with this aspect in detail."

“Now is the right opportunity.”

"It's time to sort out my things."
