The unveiling of the Mars colony thrilled everyone. The United Nations' newly established UNSC Mayflower television channel broadcast its construction around the clock.
Harry's system task finally showed a completion notice:
[Task issued: Unity] [Task: Establish an extraterrestrial colony developed by colonists of 50 different nationalities.] [Unity in name means nothing. We need to stand together in action.] [Task complete.] [Reward: New World Protocol.] [Once we have calculated the resources and equipment needed to establish a planetary colony, our brave pioneers will set out to explore. We believe they will build a new home on a distant planet.]
It was a complete set of colonial operating procedures, including designs and technical support for Colony Ships on a much larger scale.
Harry believed he could have developed such a systematic process himself, even without the system—but now he had saved that time.
Construction of the Mars colony was in full swing. The small Nuclear Fusion Reactor aboard the ship made things much easier.
But relying too heavily on Earth's resources was a bad habit for a colony. The accompanying Osborn Group engineers immediately oversaw the Construction Robots as they began building a Nuclear Fusion Power Station at the planned site.
The Nuclear Fusion Reactor would sit underground, with the plant rising slightly above the surface. The station could generate enough electricity for every subsequent operation. In theory, it could serve the colony until it became a Martian city of a hundred thousand people.
Through a wireless grid, Fusion Power was distributed wherever equipment or facilities needed it. This technology replaced a wired power grid; maintaining a few key nodes was enough to keep electricity flowing.
The only problem was that wireless power transmission was still in its infancy, and losses were high.
But Fusion Power was plentiful, and the
