Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 154: Artificial Gravity Machine

— Monday, 03 May 2027—

Today is the third month of the Second Disaster and two weeks after the launch of Earth Technology Improvement. This project is to improve all technologies around the world by working with each country on behalf of the Interstellar Organization!

The Interstellar Organization is an undercover organization led by Xiaochu, using a humanoid robot that lacks a human body because it has four hands and three eyes with one of them on the forehead.

This robot will come to every country using aircraft that use Magnet Levitation and Anti-Gravity systems. Xiaochu will deliver technologies such as Holographic Projection, Magnet Levitation, and Ion Propulsion Machines.

As for other technologies such as Anti-Gravity, Laser, Plasma, Ion Shooter, Graphene, Chip, Evolution Liquid, Gene Enhancement Liquid, Brain Wave Reader, Metal Alloy. The technology was not all given, and keep in mind, all the technology provided has a back door, so when the country given the technology intends to attack Mingyue Defense, then Xiaochu only need to self-destruct.

Fear of being attacked but why give technology? Mingyue Defense was unable to clear all the mutant beasts and zombies that existed throughout the world, and only with the help of all the countries had just completed the Second Disaster.

Then to rule the world easier, Fan Chen used the Interstellar Organization to build Warehouses and Shops around the world, he started to turn the currencies of the whole world into Coins.

He himself did not know to what extent the Warehouse and Shop had, even he could build it on the Moon. Thus, he thought that Warehouses and Shops could be built throughout the Inner Solar System, but still had to do real proof.

The warehouse now has a door 50 meters wide and has a height of 39 meters, so that the manufacture of the Spacecraft can be done on Earth and directly sent to the Moon without using P1-A6 Rockets.

Returning again into world domination, Fan Chen guessed that the mission to be carried out for the improvement of Mingyue Defense would have to completely eliminate the threat of alien beings on Earth, and with the help of all the countries around the world, the mission will be completed more easily.

The materials needed to level up can also be provided by the state on the exchange of certain technologies, and all materials are herded in tons!

Due to the abundant materials and all the money exchanged, the Underground City had expanded, no longer covering an area of 2.54 square kilometers, but rather 19.62 square kilometers. Then the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) project began to be done with a circumference of 31.4 kilometers 250 under the city of Guangzhou.

—Underground City, Mingyue Defense, Dalingshan— Village

Fan Chen was inside the Xiaochu Factory which had already expanded up to three times from the original, and now had dozens of underground basement floors that each had a size of 100 × 100 meters.

Now he was on the 13th floor which was at 390 meters from the Underground City, or 890 meters from the surface.

He looked at the stage made of pure metal with a size of 10 × 10 × 0.5 meters, and on the left-right side had a control panel that had a size like a closet.

"Is Artificial Gravity Technology fully testable?" Fan Chen turned his head to the left staring at Xiaochu beside him.

Xiaochu nodded his head and replied, "Xiaochu has already done thousands of simulations with the appropriate data, and everything is in good shape. Xiaochu has 100% confidence for the success of Artificial Gravity Technology."

Fan Chen nodded, he waved, bringing up the virtual screen in front of him. "Not turned on completely but already takes 25,000 Watts? It's bigger than the Ion-Pushing Machine already in operation."

"Yes, turning on the Artificial Gravity Machine will cost 500,000 Watts, but after a few minutes of power on, the power needed will be stable. It's the same as when the Super Quantum Computer first started."

Super Quantum Computers is Xiaochu's new home that has the capability of 100 times the previous Quantum Computers, and the size of these Super Quantum Computers is no joke, no longer the size of a closet, bigger than the world's largest mining truck.

Belaz 75710 Dump Truck has dimensions of 20.6 meters long, 9.87 meters wide, and 8.16 meters high which is almost equivalent to a 3-story house. But the Super Quantum Computer is 22 meters long, 11.3 meters wide, and 9.14 meters high, which is placed on the 15th Floor of the Xiaochu Factory.

Fan Chen looked at the virtual screen in front of him, observing all the components inside the metal stage. "Gravity made could have attraction twice that of Earth? It's very interesting."

"Xiaochu, activate." Fan Chen waved his hand, removing the virtual screen from his sight.

Xiaochu immediately acted quickly, he operated the control panel remotely.

"The Artificial Gravity Machine will light up in 10 seconds..."

"The received power began to increase. 100,000 Watts ... 280,000 watts..."

An increasingly loud humming sound came from inside the machine; a thin blue light appeared on the surface of the machine with fine lines forming irregular squares and circles, but filled with sc-fi style.

But the humming noise lasted only a short while, because after being fully active, there was no longer a humming sound.

"The Artificial Gravity Machine is fully activated. Power usage starts to stabilize and decrease. 400,000 Watts ... 348,000 Watts ... 280,000 Watts ... 250,000 watts."

Fan Chen looked at the Artificial Gravity Machine in front of him and asked, "Does the test already begin?"

"Of course, the Master can throw heavy objects there. Gravity here is adjusted to the gravity of the moon which has a gravitational acceleration of 1.62 m/s²."

Fan Chen looked up, he saw a wooden table that was tied up in chains and hung several meters above the chains. "Try moving the table up there."

Xiaochu nodded, he controlled the robot arm to grab the tied table, then let go of it to swing.

The table was falling swinging, but unlike the usual swinging, it was moving very slowly, as if the table was swinging in the water.

"Raise slowly to twice the gravity of the earth or the acceleration of gravity 19.62 m/s²." Fan Chen wanted to ascertain whether the Artificial Gravity Machine did indeed work according to the simulated data.

Xiaochu nodded, he operated the Artificial Gravity Machine according to Fan Chen's wishes. The engine began to consume a large amount of power and the swinging table began to move quickly and had a tighter downward pull, but even though the engine consumed more power, the engine did not make a sound.

If there are no light indicators and no hanging tables, it may be assumed that the gravity in the Artificial Gravity Machine is not increased.

The new table swung again, moving faster than before and the chains binding it rattled due to the stronger gravitational pull than before.

Fan Chen nodded, then he asked Xiaochu to do another test, like weighing an apple with normal gravity where he was standing now, then weighing on top of the Artificial Gravity Machine.

Take an apple weighing 500 grams when weighed, then turn into 83.35 grams or 16.67% of its original weight.

"What about the data we tested yesterday on the Moon? What fits?" Fan Chen's attention was still on the scales above the Artificial Gravity Machine.

Xiaochu searched for the appropriate data and answered it in an instant, "The data tested on the Moon and in the Artificial Gravity Machine has a match of 99.98%. The weight of an apple on the Moon is 83.33 grams and in the Artificial Gravity Machine is 83.35 grams."

Fan Chen nodded his head and said, "360VAC and 500,000 Watts. The Controlled Heavy Nuclear Fusion Site on the Moon is complete, try transporting the Artificial Gravity Machine to it and make it in a large area, buried deep inside the fusion site. First, activate the Artificial Gravity Machine with backup power, then activate the Nuclear Fusion."

"If the Artificial Gravity Machine is functioning stably according to the gravity of the earth, then the Heavy Controlled Nuclear Fusion with a power of 80,000,000 kWh can only operate it for 36.5 years."

Fan Chen rubbed his chin, he himself did not expect it would take a lot of power for a machine with dimensions of 10 × 10. He did not know if this power was stable no matter what its size, or the power offset any increase in size of the engine.

But he knew it didn't take long to reduce power. With all the scientists researching and with the help of Xiaochu's calculations continuing to simulate, there would certainly be no problem. In fact, the Spacecraft could have left Earth's atmosphere without the help of the P1-A6 rocket.
