Time: August 7, 2024.
A full month has passed since Expeditionary Force and the Colony Ship team carrying Hozette-4d refugees returned to Solar System.
During this period.
Halsey also successfully designed the Dome Cities drawing that can cover the entire surface of Mars and handed it over to Wang Zhaofeng, the supervisor of Engineering Team.
Subsequently, most of Umbrella's manufacturing plants in Solar System began to mass-produce engineering pressure protective suits for use by the four million Engineering Team who were transformed from refugees.
On July 31, 2024, the construction work on the surface of Mars officially began.
At the same time, under the secret control of Artificial Intelligence led by Serena, the UNSC began a large-scale disarmament operation.
Through various military exercises and tests of physical fitness and knowledge, nearly one million UNSC soldiers were eliminated.
In addition, the UNSC cooperated with Umbrella to promote it, saying that Mars is undergoing a planetary-level transformation project and is expected to become the second home of mankind in Solar System in the near future.
Umbrella has an excellent reputation in all walks of life, and this publicity will naturally attract investment and sponsorship from all walks of life.
Although Umbrella is not short of money, building a Dome Cities the size of Mars will also tighten William's wallet, so it still needs to raise funds.
As for the refugee camp built on the Africa continent, it also ended as early as mid-July. The Expeditionary Force and Colony Ship teams placed the refugees from Hozette-4d in the refugee camp.
Subsequently, the Colony Ship team returned to each galaxy, or Spaceport on Earth.
William visited companies, enterprises and wealthy families one by one who were willing to send Colony Ship to Hozette-4d to provide help.
After all, without the help of these capitalists, the number of Hozette-4d refugees who could reach Solar System would have shrunk by more than 80%.
And because of the Terra Family Constantine's great assistance, and William's low-profile approach to various companies and wealthy families, it was easy to obtain a large amount of capital, which was used to build the giant Dome Cities on Mars.
At this point, the turmoil caused by Yuri has finally come to an end.
However, the losses suffered by mankind this time are far worse than the original Titan Giant Beast incident in all aspects.
Major cities on the earth, and colonies inside and outside Solar System, have all fallen into riots because of Psychic Shock, the clone of Yuri, causing serious economic losses.
Not to mention that Yuri also enslaved tens of millions of colonists on Hozette-4d, plunged Umbrella and the UNSC into a "civil war", and caused tens of millions of civilian and military casualties.
Therefore, it is too cheap for this old guy who wants to be a dictator to let Yuri die alive due to the geological activities of the planet.
Of course, while William was busy handling various tasks and meeting various companies and wealthy families, he also did not forget to ask Serena to instruct the agents to monitor the situation of Titan at all times.
Atlantic time: 14:14.
Location: Titan.
Although there is a "six" in this satellite of Saturn, it does not mean that it is the sixth largest satellite of Saturn? On the contrary? It is also the largest satellite of Saturn and the second largest satellite in Solar System.
What surprised the early scientific community even more was that the size of Titan was larger than Mercury, one of the eight planets.
Although it is not as good as Mercury in terms of quality, it is enough to show that Titan is different.
Is Titan a satellite that actually has an atmosphere? And the atmospheric pressure is actually greater than that of the earth, about 1.5 times that of the earth.
At the same time, there are also a large number of "liquid lakes" on Titan, which are methane and ethane in liquid state.

It can be said that Titan, as a satellite, has an environment that even planets do not necessarily have. It is naturally worthy of research by the scientific community.
It is also one of the first locations in Umbrella Project Heading Dawn to be colonized by Engineering Team.
Looking down from the low-Earth orbit of Titan will only make humans marvel at the miraculous craftsmanship of nature.
Due to the special composition of Titan's atmosphere, it shows a fascinating cyan blue color under the sunlight.
Paired with the thick 'clouds', the deep blue 'lake' and the yellow land, it will make people feel that this place should be full of life.
However, near the equator of Titan, there are only alien life such as humans and animals and plants brought by humans. There is no native life of its own, at least not yet.
Enter the atmosphere.
Passing through the clouds formed by methane and ethane and arriving near the equator, you may see the Dome Cities group, which is far larger than Sirius-4.
And outside the domed city complex? There are many ordinary colonists who are just wearing "protective clothing", either going sightseeing, or collecting soil, liquid and gas on Titan.
After all, the atmospheric pressure of Titan is 1.5, so there is no need for heavy pressure protective clothing. You only need to wear radiation-proof protective clothing.
Looking into the sky from the ground outside the city, you can see Saturn with its rings. It can be said that Titan is the colony with the most beautiful environment among Solar System.
In City No. 7.
Under the control of various virtual devices, the scene presented here is a normal sunny afternoon.
The extremely modern city streets, with pedestrians and vehicles coming and going, are far more prosperous than the colonies outside Solar System.
Umbrella Securitys wearing dark blue uniforms and equipped with Mechanical Skeleton and Pulse Rifle are also patrolling the streets to ensure the stability of Colony City.
"Boom--~!"
Just then.
In the center of the city, there was a loud noise like an explosion.
?!
This movement made pedestrians on the street stop and look towards the city center.
Some drivers who were too gossipy even parked their cars on the side of the road, got out and looked toward the city center.
Come to the central area of the city.
On the Times Square-like street in the center, a Vortex Tunnel with a diameter of thirty-four meters appeared out of thin air, emitting a faint blue light.
Some vehicles that had no time to brake rushed into the passage and disappeared from the sight of everyone around them.
When this abnormality appeared, nearby security guards rushed to the central street.
And a large number of security vehicles with black and white colors and equipped with police lights also use the on-board loudspeakers to remind:
"Everyone is asked to evacuate the city center as soon as possible and follow our security instructions to evacuate in an orderly manner to avoid stampede accidents."
Before the security arrived near the passage, several agents wearing various costumes and changing combat equipment had already arrived near the passage and started investigating.
Since the authority of agents is much higher than that of security, nearly a hundred security guards who rushed here followed the instructions of the agents and established a ring isolation line around Vortex Tunnel to prevent idle people from getting too close.
A senior agent standing dozens of meters in front of the vortex, squinting his eyes and observing, used communication to contact Serena and said:
"Agent Greg Hosen here, Dome City Seven of Titan has an abnormality, please send technical personnel for support.
