Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 037: Calling the Workforce

Fan Chen looked at the changes of Mingyue Defense with a satisfied expression. Now he can set the direction of his future development well and call on significant workers for faster progress.

[System Instructions: Successfully upgrade the Refuge to Level 04]

[Gift: Graphene Battery Science, Graphene Chip Technology Method, and Tunnel Boring Machine]

Fan Chen closed his eyes as various kinds of related information started to enter his mind.

This method of knowledge is not like the one on the market about graphene batteries, all this information is very valuable, even a piece of information that comes out will result in turmoil.

"Battery making is pretty easy, but the power supply to charge it is huge. Can't use solar panels, must be with nuclear fusion with unlimited energy."

Fan Chen himself did not expect the capacity of this battery to be so large. The small battery used for mobile phones, can hold 3,000,000 mAh. If the manufacture is completely perfect and do parallel connection, then the storage capacity will increase.

With this battery, Fan Chen could do many things. Then with the graphene chip manufacturing method, he could make chips that support 6G, and this could be used to create an army of future robots. But, there must be quantum computers processing data simultaneously, and artificial intelligence capable of receiving commands from humans, then controlling many robots simultaneously.

Fan Chen opened his eyes slowly. He nodded, although this information came all of a sudden, but did not make him change what to call, because from the beginning he wanted to come to this part first.

The battery with a large capacity, with this can create an energy gun capable of firing plasma with a temperature of 4000 — 9000 Celsius and able to shoot with a distance of more than 15 kilometers. But who can use it?

A distance of a few hundred meters is already very difficult, if the shooter is not able to withstand the repulsion of the weapon, then the bullet can miss very far from the target.

Fan Chen shook his head and chuckled at the thought of it too far, whereas he himself had yet to build a factory.

Fan Chen turned his head back when he heard the sound of the car, he saw the Mercedez-Benz S-Class speeding on the metal road. When the car stopped, she saw her mother and sister who were looking at her worriedly.

"Their skin looks smoother, and they are more beautiful, like the Goddess coming out of the painting."

Fan Chen followed the direction the two were walking in until the two of them climbed up the wall.

Yun Mingyue stood in front of Fan Chen, touching his face, looking left and right, looking at his mouth, his eyes. "You okay?"

Fan Chen did not refuse as his head was held and played back and forth, he knew their worries, although it was too much when examining them.

Fan Chen extended his hand to touch Fan Xiaoyu's cheek. "Your face is smoother than usual, and you're getting prettier."

Yun Mingyue turned her head to look at Fan Xiaoyu, and she finally regained her senses. He touched his own face, and found that indeed his face also grew smoother and firmer like young before. Although, before drinking the Evolution Fluid there were no wrinkles on his face, but still he felt that there was a difference.

Fan Xiaoyu held Fan Chen's hand and smiled. "Sister, Big Brother made a change of this magnitude. Is it okay, brother?"

Fan Chen smiled warmly upon seeing Fan Xiaoyu's worries, and somehow the childhood memory of “Fan Chen” suddenly came. "You held my hand, and spoke in a smooth and spoiled voice. Is there something Yu'er wants?"

Fan Xiaoyu chuckled slightly, continuing to rub her cheeks in Fan Xiaoyu's hands. "Katerina said that if Big Brother has the Evolution Fluid Version 2.0, Yu'er wants it."

Fan Chen was stunned, but did not blame Katerina. He himself was indeed planning to give the Evolution Fluid Version 2.0 to Yun Mingyue and Fan Xiaoyu. "You just wake up, get used to it a few days in advance. Maybe three or five days later, I'll give it to you." He pinched Fan Xiaoyu's nose.

Fan Xiaoyu took a step back, but was restrained by Fan Chen.

Fan Chen pulled Fan Xiaoyu and embraced her. "Stay practicing, even though the Evolution Fluid has been absorbed completely, but practice can help in getting used to it." He pinched Fan Xiaoyu's cheeks, then looked at Yun Mingyue and laughed. "Mother, where we've been like this, we have to develop it. I plan to clear the land behind the cliff, and build a research site underground."

Yun Mingyue looked at the development of the Refuge that had come this far in just 11 days, this was simply amazing. If she sees common interests, she wants this place to be very safe, but as a mother, she doesn't want this place to be more developed.

Why would this place develop if his beloved son was exhausted and sick? Yun Mingyue preferred this place to have nothing.

"Look!" Fan Chen spread out his hands and said, "I'm fine, I'm healthy, there's no sign of fatigue."

Yun Mingyue was silent for a moment seeing the firmness of her son, she knew she could not convince him anymore. "Well, by the way, what do you want to eat? Let Mother do the cooking, though not as delicious as Yin Mei's cooking, but Mom's ability isn't that bad."

"Yu'er wants roast duck!" Fan Xiaoyu raised his hands as high as possible while jumping up and down.

Fan Chen rubbed Fan Xiaoyu's head, then looked at Yun Mingyue. "Anything, all of Mom's cooking is delicious, but, it's been a long time since I tasted Mom's roasted duck."

"All right." Yun Mingyue smiled, then she turned around with her son and daughter following behind.

—The Next Day—

Fan Chen was in the Supervisory Room with Katerina standing behind him. This place was already considered as his favorite place when he wanted to relax, here he could observe everything, which was the best place.

"Ming Xuan's identification point had already changed color, he already had a sense of ownership towards Mingyue Defense."

Katerina who was standing at the back, did not care much, and asked, "Captain, has the Captain already decided who he wants to call?"

Fan Chen felt Katerina's hand massaging his shoulder. He did not resist, still observing the screen in front of him, looking at the Black-Red dots that disappeared one by one.

"Yes ..." Fan Chen nodded his head. "But I'm sorry, maybe I haven't been able to give you a partner. So, wait until the Refuge rises to Level 05."

Katerina smiled and said without stopping massaging Fan Chen's shoulders, "No problem, doesn't that mean I can be with the Captain? We can always be together."

Fan Chen rolled his eyes and said nothing more. He closed his eyes, leaning against the chair while operating the Stronghold System.

Fan Chen opened his eyes again, then looked up, he saw Katerina who was lowered until their faces almost touched. "When did you see me like that? Is there no intention to stay away?"

Katerina smiled, she rubbed Fan Chen's cheeks, then she stepped back. Then he looked up, looking at the big screen in front of him. "Captain, did the Captain keep seven calls?"

"Yes, I feel like I've had enough for now. We will develop Graphene Battery, Basic Worker can be labor to assemble it after training. But once quantum computers are built and industrial robots are complete, Basic Workers are no longer needed in the industrial field, they can be diverted elsewhere."

Hearing that, Katerina looked at the screen where everyone had already started to step into Mingyue Defense. "Captain, the Captain explained to the General about our arrival. But can it still be now? If only one or two might be acceptable, but now it was almost a hundred, it was too much. Even if we send all the troops to rescue the Survivors, it is still impossible to save that much."

Fan Chen was stunned, he forgot about this. He massaged his forehead, thinking about what steps to take.

He sighed and said, "For now let it go. Now ask the troops to clear the rubble area, we can build a small base there and it can be used to summon manpower."

"Good, Captain." Katerina took the intercom to relay Fan Chen's orders.
