Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 164: Sending the MT-990 Spacecraft

Fan Chen looked at Su Qing who was beside him, sitting in a wheelchair. "Is there anything uncomfortable?"

It had been the fifth day since Su Qing came to her senses and no longer used the VR Pod to communicate, but only this time Fan Chen met, instead, because of the previous days he was very busy with various meetings about research that he had to go to and examine.

Although Su Qing already did not need to use the cultivation tube that locked her body, but she still had to carry an oxygen tube as a precaution and a walking stick. His lungs were not as badly damaged as before, but still had to be forcefully oxygenated every few hours. His muscles began to expand, returning to their normal state, but it took time, even though injecting the V.2 Gene Enhancement Fluid.

After all, Su Qing was unable to move the body freely, so the absorption of the V.2 Gene Enhancement Fluid took some time.

It's like a vicious circle. If you want your body to recover faster, then use Gene Enhancement Fluid, but if you want Gene Enhancement Fluid to have a faster effect, then you should exercise, and if Su Qing wants to exercise, then you should exercise, his body must be completely recovered.

Su Qing smiled faintly and replied, "No, I'm fine, I'm happy to be able to move on my own with the real body. But maybe, the sense of taste is still not recovered, I can't feel the food well."

"I know you want to use a VR Pod, but for now hold it. At least until your body is completely improved and can feel the taste well."

Su Qing opened her mouth, still wanting to speak, but seeing Fan Chen's expression, she knew that she had no chance at all. Originally, the doctor treating her had already said this, but she did not give up and asked Katerina, but unfortunately the results remained the same, so there was only one last hope, which was Fan Chen, however, everything was the same, he was not allowed to use a Replacement Robot.

Fan Chen ignored Su Qing, then walked into a separate room and looked at Admiral Su who was joined in the form of a holographic projection. "What about the selection of personnel in the Imperial City?"

Admiral Su looked at Fan Chen beside him and replied, "With the help of the technology provided by Mingyue Defense, we managed to come to the Beta Team, Special Team, Black Tiger Team and Eagle Team at the border. We intend to call them, but they have to guard the border."

"Personels in the Imperial City were only 50,000 after taking them from various places as well as providing food aid. We're gonna have an election for a whole week at the barracks you left there."

It sounds like a lot, but in fact it is very little compared to a total of 4,853,000 personnel, even though many were killed while securing the city during the First and Second Disasters, he said, there are still at least 2,539,000 personnel scattered throughout the Mainland.

Fan Chen nodded his head, then he waved his hand, creating four different screens depicting the four terrains in the Barracks.

Of the 500 personnel, not all of them directly joined the individual battles on the terrain inside the Barracks.

The screen itself is located at every corner, and everyone can watch it, but not for the personnel who are in the selection.

Private, Sergeants, Warrant Officers were the ranks that had to go through the test. As for the Junior Officers, Senior Officers, Generals, they did not need to do any tests. If they want to, they can go directly to the VR Pod for a life simulation on Mars.

Surely this advantage only belonged to the personnel from Mingyue Defense, and to those outside, it had to follow an equally complicated selection.

Fan Chen took a hard sheet in which there was a list of 500 personnel who participated in the selection. He looked at the individual battle area in the Barracks, then lowered his head to look at the list and crossed out his name.

"How could he stumble there?" Fan Chen clucked and shook his head while crossing out one of the other names.

Yun Mingyue who was sitting three meters away in front of Fan Chen from being blocked by the table, sighed and said, "This man named Heng Qingshan is no match, he should practice more. How could he face off against the enemy and run out of ammunition, but instead fill it right in front of the weapon-piercing enemy."

General Luo Ti sighed. He here is not the real body, but a projection. "I have no problem with the new personnel, but for those who have joined for two months but still like this?" He was very disappointed, then turned to look at Guardian★ Yu Wang. "How do you train them?"

Yu Wang stood up straight and replied, "I trained all the personnel with equal portions and no favoritism at all. But I won't make much excuses, it is indeed my fault, I will accept punishment!"

General Luo Ti pondered and looked at Fan Chen, then nodded. "You will go first, and for a year you will not return. You'll be alone aboard the MT-990 Space Shuttle, and 18 days later other personnel will be added."

"Although not using the real body, but living there is quite difficult. Not physically tired, but mentally, are you ready?"

Yu Wang raised his hand in salute. "Ready!"

General Luo Ti waved his hand and said, "Then you leave, you should be able to adapt through the simulation in two days, after which depart for the MT-990 Spacecraft that the Captain will send later."

The MT-990 Spacecraft is a purpose-built aircraft for large numbers of personnel, which is enough to make thousands of personnel with slightly larger dimensions than the Anti-Gravity Mothership. The craft was created shortly after the Space Factory was built, and with 50,000 Robot Workers, it could be completed much faster.

Yu Wang again saluted, and after that turned around to leave the room.

Fan Chen did not question General Luo's decision, and this was not like General Luo was punishing, but rather to save. If it was his mother who spoke first, perhaps Yu Wang would be expelled from the unit for an entire year without any flat money.

The selection of personnel continued, and the military executives from Mingyue Defense also assessed the matter of the personnel from the Imperial City.

Everyone was very experienced in their field, except for Fan Chen whose experience was still low. He was able to come here because of his theoretical knowledge and Passive Skills: The Sniper he possessed.

—3 Days Later—

Fan Chen was currently inside the MK-888N Spacecraft which went to Mars along with Fan Xiaoyu beside him. There were no Artificial Gravity Machines in this place, but they both moved freely due to the presence of magnets in the legs and floor.

But unlike the MT-990 Spacecraft that Fan Chen will release this time, it is equipped with an Artificial Gravity Machine.

Fan Xiaoyu brought his face close to the thick glass capable of space pressure, even the sea water pressure of 1,086 bar or 8 tons/square inch was still able to withstand it.

This quality of glass can be used to make submarines that dive into the depths of the Mariana Trench. But missions in the ocean are far too dangerous than outer space.

Fan Chen looked at his sister; shook his head and came over. "Yu'er, Brother is leaving, are you coming?"

Fan Xiaoyu pondered while observing the outside area through the window, then she shook her head. "No, there's nothing special out there, Yu'er's just here."

"All right." Fan Chen rubbed his sister's head, then he turned towards the back of the MK-888N Spacecraft.

The size of the MK-888N Spacecraft was not large, only slightly larger than the private jets used for flights before the First Disaster.

So it did not take long to arrive at the door made of metal with a thickness of 25 cm.

When Fan Chen was only half a meter away, the metal door opened in the opposite direction.

Fan Chen stepped past him, and after that the door behind him closed. But he did not directly meet with the dark outer space, there was still another door and this time it had a meter thick.

To open this last hatch requires a lot of verification, such as iris, five fingerprints, voice and facial recognition. The reason why is so difficult, because this place is arguably a sensitive area. If it can be opened easily before the door on the inside is closed, then the oxygen in it will be wasted.

Even though for now there are no humans who rise, but that does not mean there is no in the future.

Since this plane is so small, then there are a lot of things thrown away. If in the MT-990 Spacecraft, this part hatch will be equipped with a variety of active weapons for defense if there are intruders who force in from the outside, the, it will be equipped with personnel from Robot Basel.

"After I return, I will build Level 06 Headquarters."

With the help of assassinations from various countries in the world that use technology from Mingyue Defense, the revenue for Coin© increased rapidly, so that a wide range of development began to develop in the right direction.

Fan Chen took out a metal chain, wrapped it around his body and the other end was linked on the wall. Then he looked up at the surveillance cameras. "Xiaochu, open the hatch in front."

“Scan Substitute Robot... Identity: Captain Fan Chen.”

“Confirming identity... Detecting Replacement Robot connected with VR Pod Code No: 00-00/01... Identity: Captain Fan Chen successfully confirmed."

“Government accepted!”

The red light next to the surveillance camera turned green, then there was a sound like water vapor along with the hatch door opening. This hatch door opened not split in two, but went down to form a bridge.

Fan Chen leaped slowly away from the plane, and under the pressure of outer space, the artificial silicone skin lining the graphene skeleton underwent no change at all. This silicone skin has even better qualities than the space suit of the century.

He looked back, looking at the Spacecraft that was still speeding even though the Ion Propulsion Engine had been turned off.

Fan Chen raised his hand in the opposite direction. He took a deep breath literally, then took out the MT-990 Spacecraft from the Inventory.

The MT-990 spacecraft appears in space, having a matching black color in the surrounding darkness. If placed on Earth, this plane will be very large with dimensions of 500 × 95 meters, and a height of 65 meters. With that size, it was indeed large, but placed in space, it was extremely small compared to the surrounding objects.
