Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 064: Again Heavy Nuclear Fusion Controlled

Fan Chen joined hands with Katerina tracing the forest that was not too dense, the forest that had nothing to observe, but it did not matter because from the beginning there was no hope for the forest after the Second Disaster.

But as the two of them continued to go deeper into the forest, it turned out that there were wild fruits growing bushy.

"Akeby?" Fan Chen raised next to his brows when he saw the fruit on it.

Akebi is a fruit with vines like passion fruit, has the same taste, but the shape is like a banana, and sometimes there are purple or yellow.

Fan Chen looked up, he raised his hand trying to reach him, but it turned out to be too high. "Do you want to try it?" He looked at Katerina.

Katerina returned Fan Chen's eyes. "If I could." He nodded small.

Fan Chen crouched down, then patted his own shoulders. "Good get over here."

Katerina was startled and took a few steps back with a trembling body. "Ka-Captain, although I like to tease the Captain, touches the Captain's body, but this is very disrespectful. We were Captain's call, we were like tools, inappropriate for me to go up there."

Fan Chen rolled his eyes. "You're still discussing manners and inappropriate after forcibly removing my pants during the examination?"

Katerina was silent for a while at the place where she stood, but a few seconds later she stepped behind Fan Chen. He hesitated, but still trying his best, he touched Fan Chen's head while raising his legs. "Sorry, Captain."

Fan Chen felt Katerina's thighs touching her cheeks, it felt soft and contained, but it did not make her look fat, but rather it was perfectly suited to her high posture. "Sorry, I touched your thigh." He stood carefully so as not to make Katerina fall.

"Hi!~" Katerina was aghast when her thighs were touched, this was like when her waist was embraced.

"What's wrong?" Fan Chen glanced upwards, trying to look at Katerina, but was unable because there was a hand holding her head.

"Nothing, there was a spider, but now it's gone!"

"Ah? Fine." Fan Chen knew there were no spiders there, but he did not ask any further. She was just waiting below, waiting for Katerina to pluck Akebi from her tree.

Katerina bowed her body, trying to stare at Fan Chen. "Captain, is there a basket?"

Fan Chen raised his hand to hand over a sizable plastic basket. Then he followed the instructions from Katerina to go elsewhere, picking more wild fruits.

“Master, you guys go in too far, better hurry back.”

Fan Chen heard the warning from Xiaochu, he did not ask if there was any trouble ahead, but he would rather go back than look for unnecessary trouble. There is a time when to go forward and when to step back, and it is not good to always take risks that may endanger lives.

Fan Chen returned to their temporary stopping place outside the forest while thinking about what to do ahead of him other than looking for a Survivor and completing all the projects.

Being too focused on his own thoughts, Fan Chen did not realize that he had come out of the forest, and knowing that he was already outside, he saw all the soldiers standing guard staring at him.

"Oh? Captain is very close to the Chief Medical." Yu Fengsan, the Sniper said with a smile.

They themselves seemed to awaken something when they saw Fan Chen and Katerina who were close, this was like something that made them happy. Perhaps, they felt closer to Fan Chen, no longer limited to Master-Servants (Tools), but associates.

Fan Chen tilted his head in confusion, until he felt something soft on his cheek, only then did he realize that Katerina was still sitting on his shoulder and had not been lowered.

"Ah?! I forgot to put you down." Fan Chen crouched down, letting Katerina down from his shoulders.

Then she stood up again, looking at Katerina as usual without any red hue on her face. "You ..." He paused for a moment and added, "It's okay."

Fan Chen took one piece, then he went to SLRV Commander to wear the Exoskeleton. Although this place can be sure to be safe, but he did not feel comfortable after ever being shot, so with the Exoskeleton, he can be completely sure.

"Xiaochu, when did they arrive? Then is there any movement in the city?"

“It took an hour for them to arrive, and for movement within the city, it was detected there was activity inside the mansion in the middle of the city.”

"Activity? Black Eagle group or ordinary survivors?"

If there are humans who are still alive there, it must be very chaotic because of lack of food, and maybe killing each other for a bite of rice, the worst would be cannibals to fill the stomach.

“According to the signal issued, they are the Black Eagle Group. Currently continue to send signals outside to communicate with other headquarters: “Please send help, we can not last too long here, and there is a strange movement in the west” area, the, it was a message they sent every ten minutes once.”

Fan Chen gave a small nod, but for now he did not want to discuss about the Black Eagle Group, because while in the forest earlier, there was suddenly an inspiration coming into his brain.

"Xiaochu, can you project Xu Chen's image for real? I want to talk to him about Graphene Materials."

“Xiaochu can do it, but Master, Xiaochu wants to make a request. Xiaochu storage amounted to 25,000 Terabytes, but the energy required was too great to operate it, especially if it reconstructed the data of 7,000 Terabytes SN-1987A.”

“If it continues like this, we will run out of energy and Xiaochu will die.” Xiaochu appeared in front of Fan Chen with a sad expression.

Fan Chen lowered his head by rubbing his chin. "So our problem now is not just energy, but storage. Looks like, we should make Light Storage."

On Earth-2, Fan Chen had seen the news that one of the superpowers had successfully developed the Light Storage. But even though there is the word “Cahaya” there, it does not mean directly using light, but rhinestone, and when making it requires changing the arrangement of atoms in it.

Then, photons are fired into the diamond, these particles of light are stored inside the diamond. As for how to read it, it is only necessary to shoot a small power laser. Delivery processing and reading of its data up to 100Gb/s.

Flashdisk with Light Storage in it, or diamond measuring 3mm capable of storing 3TB data. But unfortunately at that time the price was too expensive because it could not be mass produced.

"If we suspend the Rocket Launch Site project and use all the robotic power for the Controlled Heavy Nuclear Fusion, how long will it take to complete it?"

“We can finish it with two weeks time, tapai if we use a thousand existing robots, we can finish it within four days.”

Fan Chen nodded and pondered back on the plan to be taken. He weighed in on which project should come first, for the new Main Project managed to dig 300 meters of soil, and to complete the excavation it still took at least two weeks.

"Well, the heavy equipment robots left in the Main Project, and the robots that could help complete the Controlled Heavy Nuclear Fusion, use them all."

Xiaochu smiled, he saluted, then disappeared.

After a few seconds, Xu Chen appeared in front of Fan Chen.

"Captain, it looks like you're aware of something about Graphene Material." Xu Chen smiled faintly.

"Yes, you should already know that graphene or graphite is the thinnest material in the world, has the size of one atom, and the arrangement of atoms is hexagonal. Although this material is very thin, the bond between the atoms is very, very strong, stronger than Galvanized Steel. Graphene is able to withstand a pressure of 130 Gigapascals, and Galvanized Steel is only 600 Megapascals."

Xu Chen smiled faintly looking at the excited Fan Chen. "So, the Captain wants to operate graphene not only in the field of electronic technology, but also in other fields? Like construction and military."

"Yes ..." Fan Chen gave a small nod and said, "Like replacing the Galvanized Steel material with Graphene Material in the manufacture of sling ropes to transport the elevator on the Main Project. After all, the space we want to build is 500 meters underground."

Xu Chen pondered for a while before replying, "This can be done, we can allow Wang Bin and Ma Laoli to make it with this material. But there's still one problem, Heavy Controlled Nuclear Fusion. To get quality graphite and mass produce it, we need a large amount of energy. With just one tool at hand, it takes a lot of time to process."

Fan Chen sighed with inexplicable emotions. Everything he wanted to develop, always going back to the original problem, Heavy Controlled Nuclear Fusion! From this, he finally understood why the World Scientist on Earth-2 put so much forward about this project, and said that infinite energy is the future.

With boundless energy, human life would be extremely prosperous, resources could be diverted to other places. In fact, it is said, if the Controlled Heavy Nuclear Fusion is really able to be developed perfectly, it can overcome poverty around the world.
