Codeigniter: How to explain to the framework that the class should be loaded automatically?

Question

CodeIgniter

Good afternoon.
It so happened that I needed to write something in Codeigniter 3. I think it’s clear that the base CI_Controller doesn’t have half of the necessary functionality, so I decided to make my Base_Controller in the Base_Controller.php file

class Base_Controller extends CI_Controller 
{
}

As a result, wherever I put this file, autoloader does not pick it up when I do:

defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Welcome extends Base_Controller 
{
  public function index()
  {
    $this->load->view('welcome_message');
  }
}

How to make the framework still see this class? I really don't want to do include every time.
Thanks in advance.
