Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 134: Planning for the Moon

Fan Xiaoyu held his breath while leaving the MK-888 aircraft, this was a normal reaction as there was no oxygen in this place.

Fan Chen looked at Fan Xiaoyu's bluish expression under the lamp behind the artificial silicone skin. He chuckled, grabbed his sister's shoulder and said, "Yu'er darling, there's no need to hold our breath, our real bodies aren't here. After all this body does not absorb oxygen, but carbon dioxide and convert it into oxygen."

Fan Xiaoyu was stunned, she forgot about it. "Yu'er forgot."

Yun Mingyue looked at the descending steps, then he jumped as high as possible to ascertain whether it would come off in space.

Yun Mingyue darted and jumped to a height of 18.75 meters from the surface, 6.25 times higher than when jumping on Earth.

Fan Xiaoyu looked at her mother who jumped with admiration in her eyes, she wanted to do the same, but her hands were held back. He looked at his brother with pleading eyes. "Sir ..."

"All right." Fan Chen let go of Fan Xiaoyu's hand and let it go.

Fan Xiaoyu laughed happily and jumped following mom, then landed slowly at a speed of 1.62 m/s², and according to the formula t\=√(2h/g) which means it took 3.7 seconds to return to the surface.

The meaning of 1.62 m/s² itself is the initial gravity speed, the, and the speed will continue to increase by 1.62 meters every second until it finally reaches a speed large enough to surpass the gravitational pull of the moon and escape its attraction. If Fan Xiaoyu did not use a rope to tie her waist, perhaps she would leave the Moon.

Fan Chen tied his waist with a rope made of graphene, a 500-meter-long rope, then he went down the stairs following Xu Chen and Wang Bin.

"How's it?"

Xu Chen pointed to an area 200 — 275 meters away from the MK-888 and said, "The area there is an area that we marked while monitoring a few days ago, the place is considered good, but still have to go through further research to ensure that this place is strategic, especially we have to use sunlight for energy sources ..."

Fan Chen nodded, he understood the intent of Xu Chen's words. The Moon cannot be built in a Controlled Heavy Nuclear Fusion because its gravity is not the same as that on Earth, making it difficult to burn and pick up its hot steam.

Wang Bin held the tablet and doodled it using a special pen, then he waved the pen so that a hologram screen appeared in front of him. "We can only utilize Energy Crystals to create electrical power, but not using the usual method of extracting hydrogen from it, but direct energy. Therefore, we have to create a special tool that converts Energy Crystals into electrical energy."

Fan Chen frowned, he was thinking about whether this method was possible. "Can it be realized?"

Xu Chen shook his head and replied, "For the time being yet, but we have already confirmed that the Energy Crystals do indeed contain large amounts of energy. Perhaps, it can provide power for the 15,000 km/h Ion Pushing Machine for a full year for Level 20 Energy Crystals."

Fan Chen was stunned when he heard this. Please note that 15,000 km/h takes 820 kiloWatts per hour, this is a mature technology, when the initial creation of Ion Driving Machine, Ion, it needed 2 kiloWatts for every minute or 120 kW/h, but back then the speed was still Mach 1.

If you still use the initial technology to reach a speed of 15,000 km/h, it requires a power of 1,453 kW/h.

Again using the technology 820 kW/h to 15,000 km/h, then for one year requires 7,183,200 kiloWatt, indeed nothing compared to the Controlled Heavy Nuclear Fusion which is able to produce power of 80,000,000 kiloWatt, is not much, but keep in mind that the place here is not Earth, but rather the Moon, and the Energy Crystals are not hard to come by.

Moreover, Fan Chen had such advantages as being able to use the Stronghold System even if it was not in the original body, so he could carry the Energy Crystals constantly.

If he did not have this advantage, then he would have to go back and forth between the Earth and the Moon.

"Then for now we build a Solar Power Plant, and after the Energy Crystal processing technology has been successfully penetrated, we will replace it."

Xu Chen and Wang Bin nodded their heads, then they stood beside Fan Chen as they went to the marked area.

When it had arrived, Fan Chen took out a building that had already been made from the beginning of the Earth.

The building is a dome-shaped building made entirely of glass, which is able to withstand rocket-propelled grenade attacks, even missiles with a force of 10 tons of TNT.

The skeleton is made of titanium and graphene, has a diameter of 50 meters and a height of 25 meters, at the top of the outside there is a solar panel, which is, then in it there is air circulation and heating devices such as artificial sun so that it can form small rain in it.

Fan Chen nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the strong structure of the building in front of him.

Then he built a Warehouse next to the Moon Base using the Warehouse Blueprint.

"Xiaochu, are you connected to us?"

Xiaochu appeared in everyone's field of vision in his adult form. “Because Master can connect, of course Xiaochu can.”

Fan Chen nodded briefly, then he pointed at an area that was quite far away from this place. "I'm going to take out the 500 Robot Workers I brought, I want you to build a Space Station there. But before that, mine all the precious materials and build the Space Factory, then we should be able to send a spaceship to Mars."

After saying that, Fan Chen took out 500 Worker Robots, and at that very moment the Worker Robots were controlled by Xiaochu to go to the project site as well as the Warehouse.

Xiaochu looked at the Warehouse, then Fan Chen and said, "As long as there is this Warehouse, Xiaochu can send robots continuously from Earth, and vice versa. Nor will we be short on material resources, and there is no need to use MK-888 aircraft to transport the mines."

"Sister, what is this?" Fan Xiaoyu came over while pointing at the Moon Base.

"This place is for crop cultivation, we will try to plant on the Moon, whether this place can be used or not."

"Why?" Fan Xiaoyu tilted her head.

Fan Chen rubbed Fan Xiaoyu's head and replied, "If only, had the Earth been uninhabitable anymore due to too many mutant beasts and powerful zombies, it would have required humans to leave the Earth, then we have to go to the Moon or Mars, and we have to make sure whether the plants can grow here or not."

"But, let's hope it doesn't happen, because every day 79 SkyNet Satellites work to kill mutant beasts and zombies."

Fan Xiaoyu finally understood, before he had wondered why he should create a plantation area on the Moon in the time they came here using the Substitute Robot. But after hearing the answer, he had to admit that the mutant beasts were getting stronger by the day, and the area where humans lived continued to narrow.

—The Next Day, Bumi—

Fan Chen had already arrived at Xu Chen Laboratory and looked at the fast-moving data on the holographic screen. These data are data obtained from the lunar soil studied.

"The month has no organic content ..." Xu Chen shook his head. "It's hard to plant there, but with Captain's ability, it should be possible."

"Land on the Moon is different from that on Earth because it is mediated by the presence of oxygen molecules, moisture, atmospheric winds, and a series of contributing biological processes. But the Moon's soil was created by basaltic and anorthositic rocks caused by meteoric impacts and bombardment by charged interstellar atomic particles over many years."

Xu Chen handed the report in physical form to Fan Chen.

Fan Chen received a written report, he read the information obtained: "The type of land is different, but the land taken yesterday is indeed unusable. But in further areas there is soil that can nourish the seedlings, but unfortunately the plant will have small leaves, small roots and red leaves because of the high salt and metal content."

Fan Chen pondered about it, then he looked at the image of the Moon on the screen taken from the SkyNet Satellite. "Then, leave the Moon as it is, there is no need to build plantations there, just use it as a mining area."

Xu Chen strongly agreed with this plan, although it was not impossible to use the Moon's soil to grow crops, but the manpower needed for research was too large, better directed elsewhere.
