"Given the current situation, I believe we can make some changes to the first plan based on the Infinite Alliance’s orbital construction plan."

"What changes?" Jian Xuwei asked. At the moment, all the orbital construction was her responsibility, with the engineer team from the Silver Star concentrating nearly all train and Iron Guard Brigade resources into construction projects. With Viola’s supercomputing power for calculations, it’s safe to say Jian Xuwei had leveraged resources to the utmost.

"First, we increase the preset distance for drone construction at night from 5 kilometers to 20 kilometers, or even longer. This is an aggressive plan."

"Impossible."

Jian Xuwei immediately responded, "The primary issue is the communication range of the drones, and the operation of drones and orbital laying machines must be protected by our main superpower users overnight. Otherwise, in just 20 minutes, the energy-devouring worms could consume our construction drones completely. Moreover, the scarlet is not affected by the Dark Mark, and the larger the movement, the greater the possible risk. This is a quixotic idea."

"Don’t be in a hurry, Captain Jian." Sean said unhurriedly, "As I mentioned, this is an aggressive plan. The preset orbit can greatly increase our daytime speed. You have a saying in Dragon Country, ’cross the sea under camouflage,’ it’s the same principle. Regarding the issues you mentioned, they are not unsolvable. For instance, we can increase the personnel protecting the construction crew, expand the protection range, and progress along with the construction team. Our train’s main force hasn’t moved, so perhaps it won’t trigger a massive surge."

Jian Xuwei furrowed her brows, "You’re suggesting a suicide squad?"

Sean shrugged, "Aggressive plans inevitably come with sacrifice and risk. But if proved feasible, we can forge a path at all costs, and then the main force can transfer rapidly. Efficiency and success rates will vastly increase, right?"

After he spoke, he looked at Jian Xuwei, "Of course, since we’re proposing such a plan, our Utopia would first contribute our strength. I convened the core team 30 minutes ago to discuss it. Look."

Sean took out a notebook, "Here’s the list."

"What a joke, of course special missions should be conducted by our special forces!" Hearing this, General Zeng Weiguo interrupted, "I think this method is good. Monsters are focused on the main force. We’ll have a small team handle construction. What matters most now is the track issue for transferring these millions of people. Otherwise, we’d be out already."

"I think it’s great too!"

"Exactly, covertly building the track, then surging forward. Our train is so long, no monster can stop it!"

"..."

The crowd was discussing fervently when a voice interrupted.

"Wait."

General Li Sheng raised his concern, "Everyone, don’t oversimplify matters. Remember, we’re not dealing with monsters. We can’t judge the enemy with a ’monster’ mindset. Our enemies are the Tower People, a high-dimensional civilization, and an intelligent species. Although there are civilizational differences, treating the enemy as fools is the greatest taboo. Conversely, the situation tilts enemy-strong, us-weak. What do we rely on? If our strategic intent is exposed or building the track at night triggers tides, isn’t that digging our own grave? Who can guarantee that night monsters will only attack the construction team and won’t rally en masse and overwhelm us overnight with several times the daytime force?"

His words silenced the frequency immediately.

At this point, Chen Sixuan spoke, "Actually, we considered this plan before, but as you all remember from Colorado, how terrifying the scarlet is after nightfall. For that reason, we don’t dare to take such risks. Ever since Apocalypse Day, avoiding nighttime actions has been the consensus, so..."

"Exactly, it’s not about a suicide squad. The real fear is lighting the powder keg at night and getting gnawed by monsters while everyone’s asleep," Lei Zhen from the Common Alliance interjected.

Meanwhile, over at the Sky Dome Train, Jiang Yun approached Chen Sixuan and said,

"Sean, judging by your tone, you must have a safer plan."

"Indeed."

Sean shrugged, looking at a teammate wearing smart glasses by his side, "My assistant Marcus, formerly a doctoral student in engineering at Ouqiao Polytechnic, said something interesting. Perhaps we don’t need to view this crisis from a battlefield perspective. If viewed from an engineering angle, it would be entirely different."

"What do you mean?" General Li Sheng inquired.

Sean gestured slightly, indicating the man beside him with auburn curly hair, whose smart glasses continuously streamed data. The man lifted his head and said coldly,

"Our progress is hindered not by ammo or firepower but by track construction. Our orbital construction inefficiency is due to a lack of large-scale industrial capacity for track steel production. Our construction drones and engineering equipment are all used for urgent material fabrication. Since we need to pause, why not pause a bit longer and use this time on the plain to..."

"Construct a miniature orbital steel plant?"
