Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 162: Zombie Virus

Xavoc looked at the information in front of him, then observed the expressions of the scientists who looked addicted and excited. "According to this information, how long will it take to change and optimize our Nuclear Fusion?"

The 80-year-old scientist who had been in this field for 50 years, was so excited, he continued muttering with a happy expression. Until he heard Xavoc speak, he finally came to a realization. "With the existing site and the workforce we have today, it likely takes a week to complete the changes. But following the directives of the information we buy, we're going to waste a lot of Deuterium and Tritium just to start a fully Controlled Heavy Nuclear Fusion."

Xavoc pondered it after hearing the judgment from the Dominic Scientist, then he looked at the paper he was holding, this was proof of the physical contract and the materials exchanged for the Heavily Controlled Nuclear Fusion Technology. He watched carefully, these materials he had already given, but suddenly, as he read them again, he discovered the absence of Deuterium and Tritium on the list.

"See this." Xavoc hands over the contract to be seen by the Dominic Scientist.

Dominik's scientist picked it up and read it, then he frowned. "Deuterium and Tritium are rare elements on Earth. Both elements are isotopes of hydrogen that have different numbers of neutrons than ordinary hydrogen or protium. Although present in nature, the content of Deuterium and Tritium in water and atmosphere is so low that it is difficult to collect them en masse ..."

Dominik's scientists looked up at Xavoc and added, "However, these two elements are very important in nuclear power generation and nuclear fusion reactions that have the potential to become clean and unlimited energy sources. The Interstellar Organization provides Heavy Controlled Nuclear Fusion Technology, of course they have a lot of nuclear fusion and the labor of the two elements. But, they didn't ask us, could it be ..."

"Interstellar organizations are finding ways to get Deuterium and Tritium easier, or even have other materials replace both?!" One of the scientists in his 40s asked in a high tone and was filled with shock on his face.

"Could it be, the crystal that's in the zombie body?" One of the young scientists asked in surprise. But after he said that, he laughed awkwardly.

"Crystals?!" Dominik's scientist opened his eyes, then he looked at the list again, but found no crystals on the list. But after thinking about the many zombies out there, he finally understood, there was no need to ask for crystals if the crystals themselves were easy to find out there.

"It's possible, we don't know what these crystals are for, but there's definitely a function. We could try to use this crystal to power Nuclear Fusion."

Assistant Scientist Dominik, Ivan, who was standing at the back, a man in his 50s, wore glasses with a thin frame, slightly white blonde hair, and wore a white lab coat. When he heard about the crystal to be used for Nuclear Fusion power, he finally got into action and said, "But, this crystal is harder than a diamond, and there's no way to cut it."

Xavoc was speechless, he pondered, and finally spoke, "Interstellar Organization headquarters, has it been found?"

"The Observatory captured an object suspected of being the headquarters of the Interstellar Organization on the Moon." An astronomer came and gave a report to President Xavoc.

Xavoc view the captured and printed images. In the picture is a military base, and it doesn't look like a place for humans to live there. There was a plane parked there that he had never seen, then there was one point with a picture of a blur.

This was better, had Fan Chen not intentionally exposed the base on the Moon, all countries would not have been able to monitor the Moon at all.

Previously, Fan Chen had not allowed anyone to observe the Moon, but after the Interstellar Organization was formed, he allowed all countries to observe, so that everyone's attention was on the Moon or the Interstellar Organization, he allowed all countries to observe, so that everyone's attention was on the Moon or the Interstellar Organization, and his attention to the Earth loosened, until the development of Mingyue Defense could be calmer.

Back again, had there not been a Red Moon phenomenon that increased the strength of mutant beasts as well as zombies on Earth, Fan Chen would not have formed the Interstellar Organization and provided the technology to all the countries of the world.

Xavoc put the picture on the table and asked everyone, "What about the back of the Moon? Do we know what's in there?"

Actually there is no front or back on the Moon, but because the rotation of the Moon is always in sync with its revolution around the Earth, so it always shows one side of the same towards the Earth. As a result, everyone can only see about 59% of the Moon's surface from Earth.

Although everyone here has seen the back of the Moon through images spread across the internet, it was before the First Disaster and every time they developed rockets to build communication satellites, he said, there must have been a constraint, which before the First Disaster, was no obstacle of this kind.

Because of this obstacle, each country still has not managed to launch new rockets, as well as the difficulty of securing rocket launch areas from mutant animals.

Back again, despite knowing the other side of the Moon, but that was before the appearance of the Interstellar Organization, and after the emergence of the Interstellar Organization, there must have been a big secret in the unknown back area.

"Nobody knows, even if we can control the Space Telescope in Earth's Intermediate Orbit, but our authority is limited." The astronomer who gave the picture replied while shaking his head.

If necessary, send the Robot Basel to attack directly, and capture the core members and put them into the VR Pod to erase all his memories. This memory removal uses the same method as the mad scientist from Ohio.

Xavoc pondered for a while, then he sighed and said, "We should not be greedy, even if this Interstellar Organization is suspicious, as long as it is good for the Earth to eradicate the monsters in the world, then it's good."

The others had no comment, they all nodded their heads.

—Africsel—

Fan Chen had already been in this place for around five hours, and the development here was very rapid. No more ruins of the city, all the debris has been cleared, even the ground with an area of 10,000 square meters has been excavated with a depth of 38 meters and continues to be excavated to build the Controlled Heavy Nuclear Fusion.

The Defense Robot has been built with a length of 6.86 km, only 15.12 km left. But it will soon be completed, but it cannot be fully activated because the Controlled Heavy Nuclear Fusion has not been built.

The Heavy Controlled Nuclear Fusion technology used has been optimized and developed every time, so this technology is different from the previous one and different from that sold through the Interstellar Organization.

If it previously took two days divided into three times before being fully activated, it can now be activated immediately without having to check many times to be stable.

Fan Chen who was observing the construction, suddenly turned around when he heard the sound of footsteps. "Hows it? Is it done?"

Katerina who had just come out of the simple laboratory, nodded her head and said, "Yes, mutant beasts and zombies are from the same source. Space Worms, but unlike mutant beasts that were instantly infected by Space Worms and turned them on, the pets in the city were infested by strange flies."

When she said that, Katerina projected the fly as in general, but it had red wings and it lit up in the darkness.

"The fly lays eggs on the pet's body, and lets them hatch. The larvae are born into the body, then enter the brain to control the animal, and in the end, the larvae in it die. But when these larvae die, the blood containing the virus spreads and turns pets into zombies carrying the virus."

Fan Chen frowned. "How sure are you about this?"

"When I looked at the body, I found a different fly. When dissecting it, there are eggs and larvae. As for blowing up inside a pet, it's just speculation, but these larvae do carry the same genes as Space Worms, and humans infected with zombie viruses."

Fan Chen fell silent, he did not know if Katerina's speculation was indeed true. Then regarding the Stronghold System that warned him about the Second Disaster and Katerina's speculation just now, he guessed that this egg took 2.5 years to hatch.

"Send this fly back to Xu Chen, let him research it with Academy Song. Maybe, from this fly, we can make a zombie serum, and we don't have to worry about this virus anymore."

Katerina nodded her head, then she started packing both dead and living flies, then handed them over to Xiaochu in order to be sent back safely.
