The City of Dawn radio station continued to broadcast to the outside world as usual, and some people who came and went provided ample publicity for the City of Dawn.
After arriving at the City of Dawn, people could exchange their gold and silver jewelry for various living supplies, not limited to just food.
Because after arriving there, people discovered that it seemed to be recovering from the construction of a civilized society.
Inside the temporary housing units, televisions and refrigerators would be installed.
Although the television could not be watched for the time being, it was said that the base would have electricity soon, making the refrigerators at least useful.
The city's drainage system was well-constructed, with each temporary housing unit equipped with a water heater, shower, and toilet.
When Xiao Fan's forces went out to collect supplies, these living necessities were all brought back.
People have higher aspirations, and seeing the state of the City of Dawn, they no longer wished to stay in their own small nests. People carried enough gold and silver jewelry and began heading towards the City of Dawn, forming a trend.
Starting from the third day, Xiao Fan could earn an additional income of over ten thousand gold every day, and it kept increasing.
He also received a reward from Shen Ruihui, who said that they had discovered an old gold mining area about a hundred kilometers away in the depths of the Xing'an Mountain Range, where gold miners used to live.
However, he was not so clear about whether there were still mineral resources there, and needed Xiao Fan to send engineers to check again.
Ai Yin went there and returned three days later, confirming that it was a medium-sized gold mine. If put into use, it could bring in about five thousand gold per day.
This made Xiao Fan very happy, as now everything was ready, just waiting for the base vehicle to arrive.
A week passed, and when Xiao Fan's funds had accumulated to thirty-five again, he finally received great news.
"Commander, the base vehicle is ten kilometers away from the City of Dawn."
"Wonderful, it's finally here!"
Xiao Fan immediately took people up to the city wall and began gazing towards the south.
About twenty minutes later, the base vehicle appeared in the morning sunlight.
When the base vehicle came into Xiao Fan's view, he felt his blood surging.
The Red Alert system would be nothing but a castle in the air without the base vehicle.
Now, although he had over five hundred troops, the unit types were not complete, and the limit was just a regiment. Such a force could barely protect itself in the apocalypse, but it could never accomplish anything.
The game would truly begin only after the base vehicle was deployed.
A massive thirty-meter long, ten-meter wide, and nearly four-meter tall metal monster appeared, and the earth seemed to tremble for it.
In front of the base vehicle, several Red Alert tanks were escorting it.
Meng Qiang's three squads were tasked with the escort mission, accompanied by the engineering squad that had stayed in Yanshan Town.
Of course, Xiao Fan had also sent people to greet them, and a whole company had set out to help clear the road long before. Now they had arrived together.
The arrival of the base vehicle stunned the residents of the City of Dawn who were working.
What a terrifying vehicle!
Could it be that someone had modified a train?
The soldiers told the crowd to move back, and the base vehicle went straight through the city gate of the City of Dawn.
Entering from the south gate, passing through the inner and outer city gates, it went directly into the military restricted area of the inner city.
Xiao Fan had already arrived here by car.
Engineer Ma Dun got off the base vehicle and came to report to Xiao Fan along with Squad Leader Meng Qiang.
"Ma Dun, you have successfully built the base vehicle. Please, Commander, inspect it!"
"Meng Qiang, you have successfully escorted the base vehicle back. Please, Commander, inspect it!"
"Good, good, well done, you've all worked hard. Take a rest."
"No need to rest now, Commander, please deploy the base vehicle."
At this moment, the base vehicle had been driven to the designated core area.
The core area was located in front of Xiao Fan's official residence. This area had been pre-planned, and after the base vehicle was deployed, it would become a restricted area that no outsiders were allowed to enter.
After the base vehicle was deployed, Xiao Fan would also build an inner wall to separate the various buildings.
"Deploy!"
Xiao Fan gave the order, and the computer program started up. The base vehicle, like a huge Transformer, rumbled as it unfolded.
Unlike the simple deployment in the Red Alert game, the complexity and precision here surpassed modern technological levels.
The base vehicle unfolded into a massive, magical-looking metal building.
On top was a huge metal hook that could be used for maintenance and self-repair.
A bright silver metal door opened, and Xiao Fan walked in.
Inside was a control room with computer screens all around, the core area of Red Alert.
"Hello, Commander. I'm Annie."
A woman in a military skirt was greeting him on the computer screen in front of him.
"Wow, you actually have a form."
"Yes, although I'm virtual, I have a form. Are you satisfied, Commander?"
Xiao Fan smiled and nodded. "Satisfied. Annie, what surprise do you have for me today?"
"Of course, it's the new buildings and new technologies of our Red Alert system. Although I don't need to explain much, as the Commander should know, your first task now is to build a power plant."
Xiao Fan said, "That's simple, just place and build it."
"No, no, no, that's in the game. In reality, it's not that simple. Please check your system now, Commander."
Xiao Fan opened the system in puzzlement and indeed saw a new unlocked building.
The first building was the power plant.
But when he opened it, there were three smaller options inside.
[Coal Power Plant: Cost 50,000 gold, comes with 30 workers, maintaining the power plant requires coal, workers not included in combat units.]
[Hydropower Plant: Cost 50,000 gold, comes with 20 workers, maintaining the power plant requires a river, workers not included in combat units.]
[Wind Power Plant: Cost 50,000 gold, comes with 20 workers, maintaining the power plant requires wind turbines, workers not included in combat units.]
Xiao Fan then realized that there were actually several types of power plants.
He immediately inquired with Annie, "So which one do you think I should build?"
"I suggest the Commander choose either the wind power plant or the hydropower plant. The Haoyuan River can be used for hydropower, while the Xing'an Mountain Range can accommodate wind turbines. The two have the same cost, so the Commander can choose either one."
Xiao Fan thought for a moment and decided to build the wind power plant first.
The westerly and northerly winds were howling in the mountains, and it would be a waste not to install wind turbines.
Although the Haoyuan River could also be used for a hydropower plant, it would block Xiao Ba's path.
If the wind power plant became insufficient one day, he could then study hydropower.
Although the construction cost of fifty thousand gold was not low, Xiao Fan also knew that this was a physical building, and the price was not high.
He made the selection and began construction.
