Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 049: Training, and Projects

Fan Chen walked out of the house, sighed and leaned against the wall. Finally she was released after sitting with her legs folded in the living room, listening to her mother's babble for hours.

He is not allowed to leave freely, and must obtain permission. He also had to train under his mother's guidance with elite military training without the slightest leniency, having to improve his fighting instinct and reaction in receiving attacks.

Fan Chen did not know the training, but he felt that it would be very painful.

The door opened suddenly, Yun Mingyue walked out from inside while carrying an airsoft gun with a gel bullet. He looked over, looking at Fan Chen. "Quick warm-up, after that, try to avoid every shot. You may not wear any other protectors other than those that protect the head and ************."

Without waiting for Fan Chen's reply, Yun Mingyue waved her hand and said, "Katerina, grab the airsoft gun inside, help me train Chen'er."

Katerina who had just stepped out of the Main Hall, nodded and hurriedly picked up the airsoft gun. As it passed Fan Chen, he stuck out his tongue.

Fan Chen was stunned, and regretted buying an electric airsoft gun. Although it only costs ¥44 and uses a gel bullet, but still painful if hit by a shot.

"What are you keeping quiet here for? Move fast." Yun Mingyue opened a shot that hit Fan Chen's waist.

Fan Chen shouted and jumped up, he rubbed his painful waist. "Mother .. isn't this a waste? No man can dodge a bullet, no man can be faster than a bullet."

Yun Mingyue stared intently at Fan Chen, but soon her gaze became gentle. "Mother knows, but at least Chen'er can act faster, increasing the reaction speed. Chen'er is already wearing Smart Glasses, can read bullet trajectories, but is still hit?"

Fan Chen laughed with embarrassment. Even if there was an early warning, the reaction was indeed very slow, let alone reading the trajectory of the bullet, even the grenade waiting for the time to explode could not be avoided.

Yun Mingyue smiled affectionately, but the next second, that beautiful smile turned into a grin. He kicked Fan Chen's right waist with his left leg, then fired a shot at his own son's back.

This sudden attack left Fan Chen late in reacting and exposed to every attack. He jumped up, rubbing his back with both hands. "Mother, it hurts— Ah!"

"Quick warm-up, don't get too much drama."

Fan Chen stepped sadly. She took off her clothes, revealing her proportional-looking body muscles, but even more striking were the red marks on her waist as well as back. Then he wears an international standard helmet, and wears a shield to protect the men's main weapon.

The warm-up did not last long, Fan Chen did not feel tired because indeed his physical quality had improved.

Dor's!

Suddenly a shot came and hit the back of Fan Chen's helmet-protected head.

Fan Chen turned his head and looked at the smiling Katerina while holding the airsoft gun. He stepped over to Katerina and said, "Tunnel Boring Machine I've put down, have the related personnel started working?"

Katerina who wanted to run, suddenly stopped and changed into secretary mode. "Yes, when the Captain is inside the house, the work has already begun. It is expected to break through the cliff after two days of full operation."

Fan Chen nodded, then sighed. "We're racing with time, there's still a lot to do. Like opening an industrial area and an underground laboratory, but here, I do this kind of exercise— Ah!"

"Mother for a moment, I'm discussing the matter of developing Mingyue Defense in the future." Fan Chen asked Yun Mingyue for time, then looked back at Katerina. "After the cliff has been successfully penetrated, please clear the land there. Then please dig in the middle of the area, make a square-shaped excavation with a size of one hundred times one hundred meters, and a depth of five hundred meters."

Katerina nodded, she did not even feel strange when given the order to dig the ground 500 meters deep. "But Captain, we're going to need a lot of time, and we need the Captain to come directly to provide the strong metal as the foundation. For more details, it was better to have Wang Bin organize his plan."

Fan Chen gave a small nod, and after the conversation, the practice finally began.

—Two Days Later—

It had been eight days since the Second Disaster came, the development of Mingyue Defense had already begun to show. Artificial intelligence has begun to be created, although only in the field of factories where artificial intelligence is still the basic level. But at least it has been able to replace human power, freeing soldiers so that they work according to their expertise.

At this moment Fan Chen was at the factory that had already been moved, he looked at the production line. From metal raw material, it will be melted with hot temperature, then printed with 3D printer. Through the conveyor, separate parts will be assembled by hand robots to form other robot parts so as to add power.

Fan Chen raised next to his brows. He looked at the report along with the picture taken yesterday while he was still training. "Make sure it's completely clean with no dust and airtight."

"Airproof?" Xiao Ming who looked the same age as Fan Chen was confused. "Is not the lithography criteria dust-free? No need for airtightness?"

"No." Fan Chen shook his head and said, "Our wafer casting technique is different, and we don't use silicon sand, we use granite. We have to guarantee the purity, when the granite powder is ionized, then the air is ionized, then the result is not one hundred percent pure."

"Silicon Chip manufacturing technique should use photoresis layer on its surface, then make circuit pattern using high pressure light lithography device, then print the image and do heating, flush it with pure ion liquid, and then, remove the photoresis layer and leave another photoresis layer square-shaped that is already attached completely with a silicon wafer. It's finished! But ..."

Fan Chen looked up, looking one by one at a robot hand assembling the components for the robot hand. "This is only one layer, must be repeated again until hundreds or even thousands of steps."

"But even though our manufacture is easier, there is no problem. Etching machine, we have to make sure that the hydrogen atom beam can etch or print the image in graphene wafer."

Xiao Ming only nodded his head despite not understanding. He scratched his head and asked, "Chip Graphene 5G. I heard we made it to replace the semiconductor chip attached to the robotic arm, why should we replace it? Why not use an existing 4G Silicone Chip? After all, the existing chips could instantly create them freely with the Captain's ability."

Fan Chen shook his head. "Ordinary chip has many obstacles, especially in the field of artificial intelligence. Ordinary chips are not capable of deploying all the artificial intelligence capabilities that Xu Chen and Wang Bin have developed because the computing capabilities of 4G Silicon Chip are too slow. With the Graphene 5G chip, at least artificial intelligence can exert its capabilities, and the robotic arm can assemble rockets faster and more flexibly because of the fast network."

"But still, the 5G Graphene chip is only temporary. After the existence of 118 SkyNet Satellites, Sub-Quantum Chips, the ability to do calculations can be faster. 4G Silicone Chip can do as much computing as one petaflops [1 × 10¹⁵ (PFLOPS)]. The chips we make can reach exaflops, a thousand times faster, but if we keep developing them, it might be able to reach zetaflops, or a million times over."

Fan Chen gave a small laugh that sounded insulting. "I heard the ability of the best chips in the world today only able to mine one Bitcoin for two days. If there was a Sub-Quantum Chip, it could at least mine a thousand Bitcoins in just two hours."

Xiao Ming nodded his head. The explanation this time he could understand it, and he finally understood why Scientist Xu Chen and Engineer Wang Bin put the Graphene Chip's interests first. Indeed, in the manufacture of rockets, human power is too slow, it is better to use robots, because it can operate 24 hours.

"But our energy supply is still too small. Currently rely only on solar power and water." Fan Chen sighed. He opened another tablet, sending a message to Fu Shen to open the area opposite Mingyue Defense for use as a rocket launch site and nuclear development laboratory.

Fan Chen returned the report that Xiao Ming had submitted to him earlier. "That's it for now, now I want to see how development is behind."

Xiao Ming nodded, then he bowed facing towards Fan Chen who was coming out of the factory.

Fan Chen went to the developed territory behind the cliff. He saw dozens of excavators digging up the ground with an area of 10,000 square meters. "I don't know how long it took to dig it five hundred meters deep."

"Caterina?" Fan Chen frowned as he looked at Katerina who was wearing a white project helmet and an orange vest. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you accompany Song Meiya to do some research?"

Katerina turned around, smiling beautifully. "I didn't expect the Captain to recognize me from behind."

Fan Chen rolled his eyes lazily. Who could not recognize Katerina who always ate a tight skirt above the knees and black stockings that wrapped the legs level.

Katerina stood beside Fan Chen, she was silent while observing the project area.

Fan Chen lowered his head to the side, he sighed. "It's my feeling or it's true, the shirt you're wearing, the more it goes down. But by the way, you haven't answered that question."

Katerina lowered her head, then looked up. "Does the Captain want to button this shirt?" He laughed a little. "For Song Meiya, she went with Miss Xiaoyu to the store."

Fan Chen averted his gaze, he looked at the project area. "After the supercomputer was successfully created along with the robot arm. The development here could be deployed to supercomputers, and human labor could go to rocket launch sites. Ordinary workers can be trained to do other things."

"Iron Marks can join the Department of Materials Science."

Katerina took all of Fan Chen's words seriously.
