Sound of Drums. Some things I don't get!

Just watched the sound of drums again on watch and a thought came to me. The master had been on earth for 18 months "tops", so how did he manage to; create a psychic mobile network, turn the TARDIS into a paradox machine, design the Valiant and become Prime Minister. I know he is a Time Lord, but he must have been VERY busy.
Also, how the hell did UNIT design and build a flying aircraft carrier in 18 months?
We should of got them working on the Olympic stadium. :p

    I thought he wasn't stuck there, just the TARDIS co-ordinates were locked to around 18 months, so I had presumed that he had went back and forward a few times within that 18 month period preparing it all (perhaps numerous masters running around like in the last Special). Or maybe he is just THAT good at multi tasking!

    Richard Feynman must be well jealous :p

    Perhaps The Master has the same psychic skills as Moila :D

    This is a good point...

    The Doctor said he fused the co-ordinates so when he took the TARDIS to the future back to Utopia or even the first time he showed Sophie the end of the universe (because he couldn't show her anything else!) it might well have took him right back to the point it initially landed on (So 18 months before the Doctor's arrival, lived a few weeks in Earth time, met his rubbish beard, took her in the Tardis, arrived back at the initial 18 month he landed on the first time!
    Then he practised his :mad: face, then realised he could still use it to his advantage :p

    The Doctor can do much in very little time, they are both great intellects so I do not see why it wouldn't be possible. Also from the moment he had the network everything went smoother as people were getting brainwashed.

    They didn't design it, The Master did that. Also some of the technology had been salvaged from Torchwood.
