Chapter 37 Redesign.
When they got back to the command center, there was a pile of items that Aelita had bought from the list and some that she had added for herself.
-Was your deal, successful?
She asked the moment they both entered.
-It was. How are things on your end?
Andrew asked.
-I bought everything from the list and added some things I thought would be useful.
After that, we still have 422 million credits left.
This amount surprised him as even with the addition of 100 million he had saved from the last time, he thought that he might only have around 10 million left.
-Take your time to check the list, we will wait for the next 30 minutes, before detaching from the station.
The elf said and left the station.
-Let's see what did they add this time.
Andrew said and went through the list with Aelita, but it turned out that she had bought everything that he would consider useful and there was nothing more to add to that.
-Great work.
He praised her after they finished looking at the list.
-Thank you, the girl said happily.
With nothing more to buy both of them started storing the items they bought and Andrew started to consider using the basic storage modules for their storage as the items could barely fit into his chests and closet right now.
While they were moving the things, he noticed a lack of one item from the list.
-Aelita, where is the double bed?
He asked.
-I'm sure that I put it on the list.
-I didn't buy it, and instead, I got us the bedroom module with a kingsize bed.
She answered.
-Did I make a mistake?
The girl was a bit worried.
-No, you did great, It's a better option anyway so you made the right decision.
Hearing this she sighed in relief, the last thing she wanted was to fail his trust.
Seeing this, Andrew figured it out and decided to reassure her a bit.
-You don't have to worry so much, I won't kick you out for something like that.
Even if you simply overlooked the bed or forgot to buy it, there would not be any repercussions for you over such a trivial matter.
He said and his reassurance worked as her mood brightened almost immediately, after he told her that.
This was something entirely new for her, and she still forgot for most of the time that Andrew wasn't from her culture, and looked at things differently from the Cheroni and the Cherix.
Just as they finished storing their items, the merchant ship disconnected from the station and moved to the next one.
-Oh, I almost forgot.
With all the new modules, we will have to redesign the station, and that will be your job.
Andrew said, surprising the alien girl.
-Can I redesign the station as I want?
She asked, not believing what she had just heard.
-Yes, but the main outline should be the inner station, which will contain our most important modules, and the outer station which will contain everything that is connected with the materials and construction and also most of our solar power modules.
Can you do that?
He asked, seriously.
-Yes, and I wanted to propose this when the new modules arrived, but it will take a lot of time to do that with only ten construction drones that we have now.
-The solution for that is easy, order more drones if you need them, and you won't even need to ask me about it, just inform me later that you did it and that will be more than enough.
Aelita was stunned at his words, this was great proof of the trust he had for her and she swore to herself to never break it as it was the most precious thing for her.
There were no protectors among the Cherix that would give their possession that much authority, not to mention that aside from their unfortunate first meting, he never raised his voice not to mention his hand at her, which was baffling to her especially after she heard the stories from older Cherone, about the beatings and scolding they received from their protectors.
-Thank you.
But the design for the rebuilding will take some time, and the rebuilding itself will also take a few hours.
She said, after thinking about the task for a moment.
-We can wait for a few hours and in the meantime let's order the drones.
Andrew said and got to it.
He ordered 50 construction drones to be produced while His pretty companion got busy designing the best station she could with what they had and his outline in mind.
A few minutes later there were two flashes of light.
One indicated the arrival of the modules they bought and the second one made the wrecked ship disappear like it was never there.
Aelita added the modules into her design until she saw a workshop module among them and it had all the upgrades available already installed.
This made her very excited, she jumped out of her station and rushed at Andrew, hugging him tightly.
-Thank you.
She said while tears of happiness filled her eyes.
The Human figured out that she must have seen the workshop module he got for her, but he never thought, it would cause such a reaction.
-You're welcome.
He said with a smile while hugging her back.
They spent a few moments like that and Andrew had to admit that it was enjoyable to get hugged by a beauty.
He had no idea that it was her dream to have her own workshop and now he fulfilled it for her.
Aelita once again blessed the moment she decided to become his property, as it was beyond her wildest dreams, for her protector to fulfill her wish and even go above and beyond, just to make her happy.
-Ok, calm down, and let's get back to work, or we won't have a place to sleep tonight.
Andrew said, in a good mood.
-Thank you again.
She said and kissed him on the cheek, before going back to her station in a cheerful mood to continue with her work, leaving him stunned.
The design took her three hours to figure out and she had to ask Andrew about the weapons and shields placement before it was finally ready.
By that time the drones that they ordered were complete and awaiting their orders.
As soon as the design was uploaded to the drone control station the instruction to execute was given.
All 60 construction drones got to work on rebuilding the station while adding the new modules, following the blueprint to the letter.
The work took another 8 hours to complete, but when it was done, the station was a sight to behold.
Especially with all the new modules which made the station over two times as big as it was before.
The new additions consisted of 100 solar power modules, 20 drone recharge modules, 10 resource processing modules,75 Mid-sized storage modules,30 shield generator modules, 10 tier 2 shield generator modules, 4 drone control modules, 2 drone repair modules, 5 drone manufacturing modules,4 resource distribution modules,12 point defense cannon modules,4 hydroponics modules,4 Cryogenic storage module, 5 Component manufacturing module,
1 railgun module, tier 2 workshop module, 1 tier 3 pharmacy module, 1 bedroom module.
With all that the station was enormous, but it was still a far cry from the station Andrew had in the game, which was at least 20 or 30 times bigger and had much more advanced technologies added.
But He knew that with patience and a bit of luck, he would get that back and even make it better than ever before.
However, this didn't make him blind to his accomplishments, especially when he was looking at the station's hologram displayed right before him.

Looking at the list of modules he had now andrew felt proud of how far he had gotten in a short time.
His only concern was the enormous amount of solar power modules, he needed to power everything as they were the obvious targets for an attack, but that would change as soon as he got some more research done.
Aelita designed the station in a way that optimized everything and divided it into sections.
The main section was in the middle, and it comprised of the command center and all the most important modules, then there was a storage section, which was the biggest at the moment, the production section was right next to it, to make the materials distribution easier and more efficient, on the other side there was a drone section, containing all the modules that were meant for drones to operate, be produced or repaired, and the last one was the science section, comprised of the research modules, communication modules, computer cores modules, hydroponic modules, cryogenic modules, medical modules, and even her workshop module.
Between the modules in every section there were incorporated shield generators and cannons modules, with the railgun being placed in the main section as it had the highest fire power and the place was shielded better than the rest of the station.
-This is a great design, thank you.
Andrew said to Aelita, who was smiling happily.
She also was proud of her work and even moreso of all the prais she had received for it.
-This is what I should be doing.
She said modestly.
It was already late right now, and they were at it for the whole day, so Andrew decided to just let the drones collect the resources, and he also ordered the production of 5000 new drones, which he could now afford, thanks to the resupply of the plastic and the rubber parts, that he was getting low on.
After that, it was time to see if their new bedroom module was as comfortable as the bed they used till now.
