This research station, manufactured to the highest international standards, seems superior to all other countries' research stations, even just from the outside. The spending achievable with wealth is boundless.
Whilst the United States has ample research funding, it is incomparable to that of a tycoon company like Andre's. Building a research station entirely to the highest international standards would be an imprudent expenditure by any measure.
Things that could be accomplished with ten thousand US dollars, they chose to spend a hundred thousand dollars on in order to enhance performance by less than 10%. From a cost-performance perspective, this is wholly impractical. Even the United States wouldn't be willing to purchase equipment this way. However, Andre's did just that. Chen Yang, who highly values the Antarctic underground ruins, decisively granted unrestricted funds to the project, enough to acquire the best living facilities and research equipment.
