Just before nightfall, Sun Cheng drove into the mountains.

At this moment, the advantages of the diesel-powered pickup truck became evident. Despite the bumpy road, he successfully reached the foot of the mountain.

After turning off the engine, Sun Cheng closed the car door and got out.

Wearing a blue work uniform, he walked straight to the back of the truck, took out the key, and opened the installed rear cargo compartment, revealing eight standard deep blue plastic barrels stacked inside.

Without calling industrial robots for help, Sun Cheng directly reached out his right hand and lifted a 25L plastic barrel filled with diesel. In passing, he also picked up another barrel with his left hand.

After looking around to ensure there were no abnormalities, he walked towards the shady area of the mountain, about a hundred meters away.

The efficiency of industrial robots was extremely high. Especially since ten days ago, he had traveled to the world of "Transformers" to bring back four industrial robots from the base in Brazil, in order to quickly complete the construction of Base One at Tiger King Ridge. The progress of the construction was as if he was using cheats.

With such efficiency, the daily consumption of construction materials at the base was astronomical.

As for other construction materials, Sun Cheng directly placed an order online and arranged for several building material sales companies in Jurong County to deliver bags of high-strength cement, yellow sand, and even steel bars. At the foot of the mountain, there were also some buildings originally constructed by Hongyuan Group for quarrying and stone cutting, which were suitable for storing the materials.

However, diesel was different. Although it wasn't strictly regulated, it was still considered a sensitive material. Delivering a large amount of it to the doorstep would inevitably raise suspicion.

Therefore, Sun Cheng could only work a little harder and personally deliver the diesel three times a day, eight barrels each time, in order to meet the power consumption demands of the base construction.

Although the distance wasn't far, it was still around a hundred meters.

With over 80 kilograms in his hands, carrying two barrels of diesel oil, Sun Cheng arrived at the entrance of the cave in the shade of the mountain. He took a deep breath and placed the two barrels of diesel oil in front of the entrance, wiping the sweat from his forehead. He was already covered in a layer of oily perspiration.

Shaking his hands, Sun Cheng couldn't help but admit that high-intensity work was indeed a physical exercise.

Even though he didn't intentionally exercise, over the past half month, he had been making several trips daily to deliver building materials and oil. Carrying hundreds of kilograms back and forth every day, he could clearly feel that his physical strength had improved compared to before, and his arm strength had significantly increased.

Half a month ago, he would need to switch hands when carrying a single barrel of diesel oil and even take breaks occasionally when running a few hundred meters.

Now, with a barrel in each hand, except for the last two trips where he might need to rest, he could complete the journey without much difficulty.

After placing down the barrels and wiping his sweat, Sun Cheng quickly turned back and continued with the transportation.

After making four round trips and finally bringing all the oil, he was completely exhausted, panting heavily, and his arms were sore.

However, as soon as Sun Cheng arrived at the entrance of the cave, all the fatigue disappeared instantly.

"The ground floor of the base is almost complete. Let's go in and take a look..."

He took out a gas mask from his backpack and put it on.

Although industrial robots were highly efficient, there were some things that couldn't be solved with efficiency alone. For example, the cave was filled with various odors, some from uncured cement, some from diesel generators, and others from certain building materials. In the world of "Transformers," Sun Cheng possessed a Frenzymechanical body, a mechanical life form that naturally wouldn't be affected by these toxic gases.

However, in the real world, he is nothing more than a mere mortal with a physical body, susceptible to illness and colds, and can also be overcome by toxic gases.

Upon entering the mountain cave, after traversing a straight passage spanning several meters, a vast open space quickly comes into view.

This is a standard circular space, with a distance of 8 meters from the walls at various points in the space to the massive central pillar, covering a total area of approximately 200 square meters.

This is the main hall of the base, also known as Hall No. 1 according to Sun Cheng's plan.

The floor, ceiling, and surroundings of Hall No. 1 have been meticulously prepared by industrial robots, rendering them exceptionally flat. The cement coating on the walls has dried completely, aided by the airflow from several powerful construction blowers.

However, due to the accumulation of construction materials in the hall, it appears somewhat disorderly.

Two 2500K diesel generator sets, procured from the United States in the world of "Transformers," are diligently operating within Hall No. 1. As he enters, Sun Cheng notices an industrial robot performing maintenance on one of the diesel generator sets.

Upon seeing him, the blue light in the industrial robot's eyes flickers briefly and lingers on Sun Cheng for a moment before shifting away.

Evidently, because their intelligence level falls far short of that of Decepticon engineers, they need to conduct a verification each time they encounter Sun Cheng.

"Go and bring the oil from outside the entrance!"

Observing this, Sun Cheng decides to take a shortcut and hands over the oil, which he initially planned to bring in himself before leaving, to the industrial robot.

"Yes, master!"

After a short delay, the industrial robot promptly walks towards the cave entrance, preparing to transport the oil.

Due to the ongoing operation of the diesel generator sets, there is a piercing roar resonating within Hall No. 1. Sun Cheng furrows his brow and retrieves two earplugs from his pocket to muffle the noise, instantly reducing the volume.

Multiple cables extend from the generator and traverse from this point to the two openings in the corners of the hall, reaching into the distance.

Spending only a brief moment in the chaotic Hall No. 1, Sun Cheng quickly makes his way towards the nearest opening to the entrance.

As soon as he entered the cave, he felt the rush of air.

Walking along the same standard passageway as the entrance, after only seven or eight meters, Sun Cheng entered another hall that was even larger than the first one. However, unlike the first hall, this one was rectangular in shape, with a total area of over 800 square meters. It was intended to be the main factory area of his planned base.

In the future, as more and more industrial robots are put into production, this place will be filled with various machines for their use. These machines will be used to produce the core components of the products that Sun Cheng plans to sell in reality, in order to obtain more funds.

He temporarily named this factory area "Hall No. 2" because it was larger than the first hall. Although it was already completed, the cement on the floor and walls had not fully dried.

When Sun Cheng arrived, there were only two high-power searchlights and a few high-power construction hair dryers in Hall No. 2, all working diligently.

The blowing air created a swirling current in the spacious hall, causing his clothes to continuously flutter.

"Almost dried..."

He walked to a corner, took a look, and inspected the ground and ceiling. Sun Cheng nodded in satisfaction and said, "We can now consider laying the circuits..."
