Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 140: Destruction of the Server

If there were indeed other civilizations in the Orion Arm besides in the Solar System, Fan Chen did not know the reason why they attacked Earth. But if he wanted to guess boldly, he would speculate that the reason why the Second Era was destroyed was to gather slaves or even food sources, he would speculate, or humans are used as a source of energy by confining it in a dark place that is closed, soundproof inside objects such as barrels.

As for how to get energy, perhaps by utilizing fear, anger, despair, hate and others from human emotions. Turn all emotions into energy by using special tools.

Is possible? No one knows, and don't think logically in technology outside the Solar System.

Fan Chen sighed, he exited the Space Monitoring Room and headed for the Hospital to meet Katerina. She herself did not know why, but now, whenever she felt uneasy, she would always come to Katerina's place.

But when he arrived at the Underground Hospital, he saw that there was already Fan Xiaoyu standing there, even Yun Mingyue was there as well.

Fan Chen was stunned for a moment, only then did he step up and hug Yun Mingyue. "Mom, I'm tired, hug me."

Yun Mingyue who was sitting on the sofa, lowered her head rubbed Fan Chen's head which buried a face in his stomach. "What's the problem? Tell me about Mom."

Fan Chen rubbed his face on Yun Mingyue's stomach. "Later on, I want you to wipe my head."

Yun Mingyue smiled warmly, she was very happy when her son was still as spoiled as before. Every day, it was usually him who asked for a hug to fill the void due to losing Fan Hongwu, but now, he was the one who calmed Fan Chen down.

Fan Xiaoyu sat beside Yun Mingyue, she rubbed her brother's head gently and said, "Tonight, will Yu'er accompany Big Brother to sleep? Yu'er can hug Big Brother, just like when Big Brother had a nightmare."

Fan Chen looked up, he pondered, then nodded. "Well, sleep with Brother tonight."

He again hugged Yun Mingyue's waist as his head and back were rubbed, he enjoyed it, until he involuntarily fell asleep.

Seeing her brother asleep, Fan Xiaoyu looked at her mother. "It seems like there was an important meeting, and because of this meeting Brother became like this. Are you not curious? Should Yu'er come and ask them in the meeting room?"

Yun Mingyue shook her head and replied, "No need, wait for your brother to wake up. No matter how bad the news is, we have to accept it, and don't ask another question, we just wait for him to wake up."

Fan Xiaoyu nodded, then she looked up at Katerina who was sitting across, sipping tea slowly. "Do you know what's being talked about in the meeting room?"

Katerina looked up, shaking her head. "Although I am the Captain's secretary, but today's meeting was only Scientist Xu Chen and other scientists researching space and aerospace, I did not have access to participate in the meeting. Even the information there is restricted."

"But ..." Katerina looked up at the ceiling of the room. "Maybe this meeting is about the Red Moon."

"Red Moon ..." Yun Mingyue muttered, although he was not kind to the surface, he heard news of the Moon in the sky turning red. "Looks like, the peacetime is coming to an end."

"Peace?" Fan Xiaoyu turned his head tilted. "There was no peace after the First Disaster, the past few days, mutant beasts and zombies were more active."

Yun Mingyue pinched his daughter's cheeks and said, "That's just figurative words, when compared to the next few days, the present and the past can still be considered a time of peace."

Fan Xiaoyu nodded, understanding it. If you think so, indeed the present is a time of peace, but not for a while ahead. But he believed, he believed that there would be a time when there would be no more monsters on the face of the earth.

—NASA, Bald— Eagle Country

Many gathered scientists looked at the computer in front of their respective desks to see parameters and occasionally looked at the wide monitor on the wide wall in front of them.

"What can we get from this monitoring?"

The old man had white hair, wore a white shirt that looked neat, and although he was old, but his skin looked fresh, only a slight frown on his forehead.

He was Nelson, the new Chairman of NASA from one year before the First Disaster.

Astrologers who sit next to each other, take off the mantle they wear. "When we point it at Earth, there are some blurry points in various places, I suspect this opaque point is a series of artificial satellites to connect the whole world through the internet network. As for the Red Moon's influence, it had little effect on humans, and the military manning the surroundings had already gotten the answer. This moonlight affects mutant beasts and zombies, they are more aggressive."

"This Space Telescope also can not be fully controlled, in addition to the blurry images found, there are times when this telescope can not move and remain still in place. But we get a notification, the access we have is not enough." The Astronomical Scientist says.

Nelson was silent for a moment, he looked at the large monitor in front of him. "Can we track which countries have control over the Space Telescope?"

The young man sitting next to Nelson, tapping his finger on the keyboard quickly, he had already done so for over half an hour and to date had not come to fruition. He shook his head and said, "Not finding their server, their server is very hidden."

Nelson folded his hands in front of his chest, pondering for a moment, thinking which country had the power to launch a rocket. Suddenly, he thought of Xia Country, but he laughed and shook his head. The Bald Eagle Country alone still had difficulty flying rockets after the First Disaster, let alone the Xia State that was left behind in terms of technology.

If it was before the First Disaster, it was possible, but after the First Disaster, the atmosphere continued to change every time and was hard to guess, let alone the mutant beasts that frequently attacked.

"Make the effort, make sure to find out which country successfully launched the satellite before us ..." Nelson spoke, suddenly heard the sound of a warning alarm and a red light in the room flickered.

[Warning! The warning! The warning!]

[Detects multiple attacks, activates self-defense mode!]

[Successfully found the IP address.].

[Successfully lock all computers.].

[Starting self-destruction mode.].

[10 ... 9 ... 8 ... 7 ...]

Nelson was silent for a while, he reacted too late, and when he regained consciousness, he shouted, "Disconnect all networks!"

"Can't! Access all computers taken over!"

Nelson gritted his teeth and shouted, "Forcibly shut down the computer!"

"The power button is pressed but not in action!"

Nelson is stunned, he opens his mouth, but suddenly all the computers let out sparks due to overloading work, even the stored Supercomputers cannot bear it.

Duarr! Duarr! Duarr!

Explosions after explosions were heard as one by one the computers caught fire, all the hardware here was the best, but it could not withstand too heavy a workload. The workload that would normally have to use 300 Quantum Computers, suddenly using a Supercomputer to calculate it, was of course overloaded.

Nelson fled the room filled with fire and smoke. When he was three outside, his body trembled with mixed emotions: there was anger, anxiety, fear, and regret.

He was angry that all the data whether on the computer or the server had been destroyed. Restless and afraid because all this is his responsibility, and of course he will get a severe punishment from the President. He regretted giving orders where he wanted full access and took over the Space Telescope, so he asked his subordinates to penetrate the defend system.

Nelson took a few steps back, leaning against the wall and slumped, sitting on the floor with his eyes blank.
