Mission Three - Triumph of Technology | Chapter Three: In the Eye of the Storm Anno 2070 Guide

The last of F.A.T.H.E.R.S.'s Warships seems to be immune to all attacks. In result, Prof. Devi arrives at our sector. First, though, we need to complete a task given by Eden Initiative - scan three locations, then deliver Rare jellyfish to Rodriguez. In return, we obtain an Offshore substation - once activated in the Ark, it will increase the effectiveness of our Offshore Wind Parks by 15%.
On the island farthest to the south-west, build up Tech infrastructure. In the Warehouse, gather as many resources as possible, activate the Offshore substation and build a few Offshore Wind Parks. To get through F.A.T.H.E.R.S.' shields, we will have to create three items in the Academy: components that will comprise an EMP Cannon - to get each component, we will need to reach a specified energy level of 200, 500 and 1000 points. There are a few possibilities to reach such high levels - we can simply build a lot of Offshore Wind Parks, Wind Parks and Coal Power Stations (for which, however, we'll we have to get Coal from another island.) The second option is to build a Nuclear Power Plant (we can get Fuel Elements from the Uranium facilities), which will generate 500 energy points on its own.
Either way, when need to reach 1000 points, we gain the possibility to build a Hydroelectric Power Plant, which of course we do. In order to build the Hydroelectric Power Plant, first we need to produce five Generators and five Control modules, which will consume a lot of our Building Modules and Tools supplies.
Once the items have been produced, create the Hydrostation blueprint in the Academy; it appears in the Warehouse. In order to build the Hydroelectric Power Plant, use LMB on the proper icon, and then LMB again on the spot where you want to put this impressive construction (the northern edge of the island.) This way we can generate 500 energy points with little costs - and we can build the EMP Cannon!
In the meantime, we are asked to scan underwater islands. Build an Underwater Warehouse on one of them and start producing Functional Food and Crude Oil (necessary in producing Carbon), as well as open a new trade route between the underwater base and our Tech base. Additionally, bring Sugar from one of the northern islands (we need to set up a base there and start growing crops), which, paired with Coffee, will make it possible to produce Energy Drinks - without them Worker Barracks won't upgrade. After creating an Electrical condenser, a Magnetic coil and an Anti-shield pulse, which will cost us 16 thousand credits, we are ready to build the EMP Cannon.
Although building the EMP Cannon won't require too much financial resources (only a thousand credits), the road to acquiring it will consume of lot of supplies, significantly emptying our pockets. Therefore remember not to hurry with the production of particular elements, and more importantly, control the credit balance. For convenience's sake, below is the list of trade routes necessary for the proper functioning of the islands:
1. Take Rice, Liquor, Durum Wheat from the south-western island to our mother base, and, if the resources on the main island aren't sufficient, Fish.
2. From Strindberg's old base to the Tech island take: Coal, Refined Oil and Iron.
3. From Strindberg's old base to our mother base take Plastics (although we're manufacturing them on our main island, it's good to have a supply - we can sell them if we have too many.)
4. From the underwater base to the Tech island take: Crude Oil and Functional Food.
5. From the new base (north-west) to the Tech island take Sugar.
6. From the eastern island to the mother base take Steel.
Note: Because there is an enemy ship scouting the northern area, try to prevent our trading ships from crossing its path. If so, control the ship yourself, avoiding the enemy unit.
The last mission objective is to load the EMP Cannon on board one of our Warships and eliminate the enemy ship. All we need to do is use the cannon (LMB) when the enemy unit comes in range - it will be paralyzed for 5 minutes, and its shields will be lowered. We're left to destroy it.
