Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 132: Preparing to Launch the Heilong Telescope

There were many citizens who looked at Fan Chen from afar, wanting to find out what was really happening to clear the land by destroying buildings, even the government to pour funds to compensate at high prices.

The required land size is 150 × 150 meters, but each building only has an area of 50 × 50 meters. The surrounding land is planted with trees and grass, as well as a sturdy guardrail.

The upper echelons were also present here, they were curious how Fan Chen built the Bank and Shop without any heavy equipment even no materials at all residing on the construction site.

Fan Chen stretched out his hand, suddenly a wide variety of materials emerged from thin air and fell on the ground.

The upper echelons only nodded their heads when they saw this, they already knew that there were all sorts of Awakened abilities, and they had even seen the Awakened One with Dimensional Abilities, but unfortunately hundreds of Awakened were given orders by General Fan to go all over China.

Thinking of all the Awakened that they were carefully guiding and giving various kinds of precious resources, they felt an inexplicable heartache.

In contrast to the upper echelons acting ordinary, the citizens standing far away were stunned when they saw the building materials emerging from thin air.

Information about the Awakened is very limited to these people, even in the military not all know because it is only the upper echelons who can know it.

Fan Chen raised his hand again, suddenly the materials from heavy steel, column iron, stone, wood, and so on disappeared slowly, then the foundation began to be built quickly until it continued to rise to a height of 15 — 20 meters.

In just a matter of seconds, the Bank and Shop had already been built, but the Shop this time was different because the glass wall was not translucent, but rather opaque so as to block what was inside.

Fan Chen deliberately did this so that no commotion would occur shortly after the Shop was built, and when this Shop was completed, 20 Robots (Basels) rushed to stand in front of the Shop carrying a full arsenal.

Ten female-looking robots (Ayana) pull into the Bank. Ayana itself is an Artificial Intelligence developed by Xiaochu to take care of the Bank, in contrast to the one in Mingyue Defense that still uses human power.

After all, in Mingyue Defense there were still few people, and there was very orderly, in contrast to the Imperial City which was lacking in foodstuffs as well as the large number of people staying.

This time, the upper echelons were unable to hide the expressions of shock on their faces. Even though they were ready, but looking at it directly, made them stunned in horror.

Manufacturing capabilities are not foreign, but many obstacles that start from the energy needed, resources, and focus are very difficult. Hundreds of tests have been conducted, but still unable to build a simple house, and each building will be destroyed in a matter of days.

Fan Chen turned around, he looked at everyone standing far away. "All of you may be confused as to what these two buildings are for, these are Banks and Shops. You can exchange your money that can be spent in the Shop, all prices are only 10% higher than the initial price before the First Disaster. It's cheaper than the price given by black entrepreneurs ..."

His voice echoed all over the place, the speakers placed at each corner were very clear with no disturbing sound.

Fan Chen explained the steps to be taken to exchange money, including the ratio obtained.

There are various reactions: happy, moved, sad, angry, hate, regret and so forth.

Glad to finally be able to eat the dishes missed so far, even though it requires paying 20% tax, it does not matter at all. After all, after the First Disaster, they worked and had a lot of money, but had no idea what to use for. Money was like worthless paper, it could even be used to make campfires, but now, they could buy things.

Touched, the pain of holding back hunger was finally over, they were finally able to recuperate.

Sadly, as new Banks and Shops are built now, had they been built longer, perhaps the beloved family would not have left them.

Angry and resentful because the businessman who originally had high status in the Imperial City, from today on, would fall and live like an ordinary folk.

Sorry, sorry for not having the money!

Xun Yanzhu looked at the not-so-good state of affairs as many tried to break through the fence. "Shut up!" He screamed loudly despite wearing a microphone.

When he saw that things were starting to improve, Xun Yanzhu again said, "Banks and Stores are not only built in this place. There will be 12 Banks and 36 Shops throughout the Imperial City!"

Fan Chen left Xun Yanzhu and entered the Bank, he had to build a Bank and Shop in another place where a replacement body was already laid there. This surrogate body was not a surrogate body that had the appearance of him, but rather the appearance of a middle-aged man who was a Basel Robot.

Keep in mind, Fan Chen had access to all the robots, he could use all the bodies without exception.

Then if he left the Substitute Robot at some point with his original appearance, it would cause an unnecessary uproar. Although twins are not strange, but are there twins 12 — 36?

...***...

—3 Days Later—

Banks and Stores have started operating on the first day, now the third day and things began to improve, there is no more panic buying like on the first day.

The farmland and plantations have been improved, although not as good as the Farms in Mingyue Defense, but still have good effects and faster and more abundant yields.

The reason why farmland and plantations were important, was not only for the food source in the Imperial City, but also to activate the abandoned food factories in the Imperial City.

If the plant is back in operation, then food is no longer a problem.

Actually Fan Chen wanted to build his own factory to save the money he had, but the area of Mingyue Defense was still too small. Incidentally, there was the Imperial City, better to let the Imperial City that was producing food from the First Disaster, then be sent to Mingyue Defense to supplement the food supply.

The Heavy Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project in the Imperial City began work and it was behind the mountain where the government headquarters were located.

All materials were provided by the Imperial City, Mingyue Defense only provided the labor of a Robot Worker directly controlled by Xiaochu.

Fan Chen built the Controlled Heavy Nuclear Fusion on his own grounds, he wanted to provide the electrical power used for the Scanning Drones flying over the Imperial City, as well as energy for all the robots. Even though the robot has an Arc Reactor on its body, it better have a Weight Controlled Nuclear Fusion for the main energy.

Controlled Heavy Nuclear Fusion is also used for Railguns to be built on the mountain, as well as for all weaponry mounted on top of the wall.

He would also rebuild the Imperial City with the Blueprint of the Main Hall and the Tracking Tower. He wanted to see the entire state of the Imperial City, and observe everyone so as to make it easier for him to deal with the group that intended to harm him.

As for the Floating Magnet Car Project, Fan Chen still had no desire to deploy this, at most he would only send a Smart Clock to the Imperial City.

...

At this moment, Fan Chen had already returned to Mingyue Defense or exited the VR Pod. He went to the Rocket Launch Monitoring Room with all Mingyue Defense executives and related personnel.

Today is an important moment for him as he will launch the Heilong Telescope in Earth's Intermediate Orbit to observe the Solar System.

A holographic device was also activated that was directly connected to Xun Yanzhu in the Imperial City who was currently conducting a meeting to see the rocket launch.

Fan Chen looked at the screen in front of him which showed a P1-A6 SN rocket preparing to launch.

He took a deep breath, after the Heilong Telescope had successfully flown, he would send thousands of robots to the Moon!
