Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 048: Technology

Their group returned through a detour so as not to directly tell where the real headquarters was. Although it is slower, but it is better to remove traces of high-level zombies.

Fan Chen, Academician Song, Song Meiya and Hu Ming looked nervous after seeing the Fifth level Zombies. But for the others, they were mediocre, as if their emotions were completely dead.

Fan Chen was already not surprised by those who had no emotions, however in war, emotions could not be expected. If emotions are disturbed, only destruction will be gained.

"We've gone ten kilometers to the northeast, and we've moved away from Mingyue Defense. Now, we can go back."

Fu Shen heard the command, he turned the steering wheel and turned towards Mingyue Defense through the path already chosen by Fan Chen.

The Cougar HE travels at full speed and will always fire rocket-propelled grenades from time to time to open up faster roads, whether to destroy obstructing rocks, fallen trees or zombies.

Song Meiya hugged her own trembling body. It was a bad experience when looking at the original form of zombies hiding inside the ruins.

Fan Chen adjusted his breathing to remain calm. As a leader, it's not good to be nervous at times like these.

"Captain, we're far from the target. The Command Center had sent a short message that didn't use too many signals, saying that the zombies stayed in place."

Fan Chen sighed and wore Smart Glasses. There are message dots that must be outlined first before understanding what the message is about.

"We're really short on energy." Fan Chen massaged the nasal bones between his eyes. "Soldier shift will change starting today. Usually a day just keep watch for eight hours, maybe now sixteen hours does not include normal exercise. In addition to keeping watch as usual, I want you to join the factory unit to accelerate the construction plan of the Controlled Heavy Nuclear Fusion. Does anyone mind?"

"""Ready! Don't mind!"""

"Heavy Controlled Nuclear Fusion?!" Clearly, Academy Song was shocked by this.

Fan Chen knew the reason for Song Academics' shock, however China was 30 years behind in terms of technology from the West. But how else, China had experienced the problem of hunger, which had the largest population at that time, and the quality of food security was very low, the harvest was insufficient.

Yuan Longping, successfully developed a hybrid rice that can increase crop yield by 20%. If food security cannot be overcome, perhaps until now China is still lagging behind in terms of technology.

At the time, the government was faced with two choices: choosing society, or technology. But eventually, the government gave up on technology, and eventually all the funding was directed towards agriculture to improve food quality.

"Even if we're lagging behind in technology, but remember, we used to lead technology." Fan Chen sighed, and again said, "Then, even though we are left behind, we do not lack talent. Huawei, able to develop 5G networks, and finally sanctioned because the technology is too advanced, they sanctioned us to remain behind ..."

"But leaving aside the sanctions from outside, we have another problem. Although the government always supports young people who want to open businesses in the field of technology, but there are other obstacles, namely connection and status. Take, for example, graduate students in the lab made a discovery, but any finding would be recognized by the supervising lecturer, which buried the potential of this student, and finally, the findings, many talented students go to other countries. Not just because of the better environment, but because of the bigger pay."

Academy Song fell silent with his mouth open and could not say anything. Because he himself had experienced something similar while still a student, he discovered the genes of one of the animals, the, he regulated gene expression and developed a gene capable of holding tumors from developing and gnawing them away until they completely disappeared.

But as a result, his thesis and laboratory data were acknowledged by the lecturers, and his never-present supervisor was famous for sending the report to scientific magazines.

Academy Song suddenly frowned when he found out something. "So, I mean, where do you think there's a talent for knowing about Heavy Controlled Nuclear Fusion? It's not just a theory, but a technology that's really mature and just needs to build it?"

Fan Chen nodded and replied, "But despite having mature technology, it doesn't mean there are no mistakes."

"Yes ..." Academy Song nodded in agreement. "Must do some tests, and this is dangerous because the one tested this time is nuclear."

"Captain, we're almost there."

Song Meiya looked up, she turned her head back looking through the small window. The surroundings he saw were not much different, but he felt that this place had little danger.

"Prepare, after entering, lower me the gate. After that you guys go back to the barracks for a while to rest." Fan Chen knew that there was someone waiting for him at the gate, so he asked to come down instead of going to the center.

Not long after, Cougar HE had already arrived before the gate.

The gate opened smoothly without causing any metal rattling noise.

Cougar HE enters, then the gate closes back.

Fan Chen got off the car, he was immediately greeted by Yun Mingyue, Fan Xiaoyu and Katerina.

"Sister!" Fan Xiaoyu came hugging Fan Chen. Her tears flowed and her body trembled.

Fan Chen fell silent, then smiled and returned Fan Xiaoyu's embrace. "It's okay, I'm fine."

Academics Song and Song Meiya got out of the car.

Yun Mingyue frowned. "Uncle Song? I really didn't think we'd see each other again." He stepped up, smiled and extended his hand.

Academician Song smiled, he extended his hand and shook hands with Yun Mingyue. "Son Mingyue still looks young, still the same as twenty years ago."

Fan Xiaoyu broke away from Fan Chen's embrace, she tilted her head, looking at Song Meiya who was standing at the right back of Academy Song. He approached her, then bowed. "You must be the doctor that Brother said. Thank you for saving my brother."

"Aah!" Song Meiya flinched when suddenly someone bowed in front of her. "Ti-No, ak-I didn't help much."

Fan Chen smiled faintly, then he suddenly felt that something was pulling his body. He looked at Katerina who pulled him, removing the bulletproof vest and all her superiors.

Katerina stood in front of Fan Chen, wearing sterile gloves, touching the dry wound to check the condition of the wound. "The wound was well covered, and despite using the Healing Liquid, this was all unattainable if the seams were not neat. The blood vessels are spliced perfectly, there are no problems with the bones, and the blood flow remains flowing like there has never been a wound here. Everything's fine." He nodded many times while taking off the medical gloves.

Song Meiya heard this, she apologized to Fan Xiaoyu, then came over to Katerina. "Sorry to interrupt and suddenly, but can I study under the guidance of dr. Katerina's? I want to learn an ointment that can remove scars."

Katerina fell silent while looking at Song Meiya from top to bottom, then as she looked towards the chest, she sighed. "Sure, you can come to the hospital tomorrow. It's just me there, there's a lab of its own."

Song Meiya clenched her hands and forced herself to keep smiling as she looked at Katerina who was staring towards her chest. "Thank you."

Yun Mingyue who had already spoken briefly with Academy Song, came to Fan Chen. "Is there anything Chen'er wants to say?"

"Yes ..." Fan Chen nodded his head and said, "There are many, including General Fan. This information I got from Academy Song who came from the Imperial City. So, I don't think we need to get too in touch with the Imperial City, at least not until General Fan falls."

Yun Mingyue fell silent, then nodded her head. He extended his hand patting Fan Chen on the shoulder. "Mother wants to hug you, but this is in public, I'm afraid that Chen'er is ashamed of being seen by so many."

Fan Chen smiled, he opened his hands and took the initiative to hug his mother. "What is shame for? Even though I'm an adult, don't you always tell me I'm Mom's little baby?"

Yun Mingyue chuckled. "Yes, little baby Mom."

"By the way, there's something I want to talk about. It's about the wound on your shoulder." Yun Mingyue pinched Fan Chen's waist.

Fan Chen whimpered, cold sweat drenching his forehead. He knew after this, he might not be able to come out freely, and .. maybe he should prepare his ears, because in a moment, he would have to accept the lecture, it would probably last for hours.
