Chapter 39: Building the Power Plant, The Lizardmen's Attack

Time passed slowly, and soon half a month had gone by.

During the past two weeks, Fang Heng did not return to Earth, but stayed at the lunar base to learn how to pilot jackals and ravens.

Upon his return, Ethan also gave him a surprise: the Jackal fighter jet and Raven transport plane, which had been fully repaired.

However, at present, the Raven transport aircraft cannot participate in cargo transportation between the Moon and Earth, naturally for the sake of keeping a low profile.

Given the current level of technology on Earth, going to space wouldn't be difficult; it's just a matter of whether it's worth it.

Once the Raven's journey to and from the moon is discovered, the wreckage of the Retribution will certainly be found as well. At that point, the five permanent members of the UN Security Council will definitely go all out to land on the moon and explore it.

However, he had a solution to this problem, namely the biological warships he had experimented with before.

In the Terminator universe, they have already researched how to cultivate biological warships and have directly cultivated ten embryos.

Aside from three that were used for cultivation in the Terminator world, of the remaining seven, two were placed in the Resident Evil world, and the other five were brought back.

"Ethan, are the warship prototypes ready?"

"Commander, preparations are complete. Three embryos have been placed in the incubation tank, and the other two will be transported to Mars in spacecraft."

"Very good. How is the power plant construction progressing?"

"The foundation has been completed, and the main equipment is still under production. It is expected that installation can begin in 30 days."

"Yes, we still need to pay attention to the base's concealment. Once the quantum generator is completed, the solar power array on it can be gradually shut down."

"Yes, Commander."

The quantum power plant was one of the more important gains from this Terminator mission.

As anyone who has seen the movie knows, the time machine used by the main characters to travel through time consumes the entire electricity supply of Los Angeles once activated, which gives you an idea of ​​how terrifying Skynet's power consumption is.

In fact, in the Terminator universe, once Skynet gains the upper hand, the final outcome will be a world similar to The Matrix.

If we don't break through planetary technology and officially enter outer space, then the energy problem will always be the primary factor troubling intelligent civilizations.

From another perspective, energy is to intelligent machines what food is to carbon-based life—both are necessities that ensure the basic needs of life.

The quantum field generator obtained this time, also known as a quantum generator, has a full-load power of 3000 million kilowatts, which is even more powerful than the Three Gorges Dam.

Such powerful quantum generators only need to be built in two or three places to meet the current needs of the lunar base.

In fact, the core fuel used in this type of power plant is helium-3. After all, the so-called quantum power generation does not mean obtaining energy from the quantum realm, but rather quantizing the core fuel and extracting the microscopic energy of matter.

It is similar to a type of nuclear energy, except that conventional nuclear energy is based on the atomic unit, while quantum power plants involve the proton and even quark units.

Fang Heng didn't have in-depth research in this area. Anyway, he had already successfully built a quantum power plant in the Terminator world. With that successful experience, the construction of the main world would also go very smoothly under the coordination of artificial intelligence.

Meanwhile, the lizardmen also made new moves.

After their previous operations wiped out several nations, the lizardmen learned to target the weakest points first, so they dared not go near Dongda University and prepared to focus their attacks on the Black Continent.

Late at night, 100 nautical miles off the east coast of Africa, the lights of marine buoys were flashing.

However, as a dark shadow appeared on the seabed, the buoy was destroyed the next moment.

The abnormal data was immediately transmitted back to the nearby port, and the personnel on duty reported it immediately after detecting that there was a problem with the buoy.

However, this situation is not uncommon. Many things can happen at sea, such as marine life or ocean currents, and even some covert operations can cause buoys to be destroyed.

The staff on duty only need to report the matter.

Meanwhile, in the deep sea, the dark figure, after smashing the buoy, did not stop and continued to move rapidly toward the shore.

Not long after, the dark figure appeared on the shore.

"Buzz!"

With a tremendous roar, the dark shadow underwater rose rapidly, breaking through the sea surface and flying into the sky.

"Ugh!!!"

The moment the dark figure burst out of the water, a piercing alarm sounded in the central control center of the Star Group headquarters.

"What's going on?"

"This is bad. An unidentified aircraft is rapidly entering the inland area. Activate all defense systems immediately and report to superiors."

"yes!"

Soon, Fang Heng, who had already fallen asleep, was woken up. After learning the details of the situation, he rubbed his temples.

"What were these guys thinking, coming straight at us?"

"Commander, according to data analysis, it is very likely that our advanced biotechnology has aroused their vigilance."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"Based on the previously obtained lizardman anatomical data, these lizardmen are also products of biotechnology. They are afraid that we will discover the anomalies and realize that these lizardmen are just artificial creatures with other civilizations behind them."

"I see, but that's not the main reason, is it?"

"Based on data analysis, this possibility is only 50%. The other half is unknown because we cannot hack into the other party's database."

"Fine, since we don't know, let's fight. I was originally planning to develop quietly for a while, but since they've come knocking, let's officially step into the limelight. How are the Zerg forces preparing?"

"Commander, after a long period of breeding and testing, the number of Zerg is now large enough to meet the needs of this war."

"Let's release them then. It'll be a good opportunity to test who's stronger between these lizardmen and the insectoids."

"Yes, Commander."

Soon, alarms sounded throughout the area controlled by the Star Group, waking everyone who was asleep. Following system prompts, they began to evacuate in an orderly manner to nearby shelters.

Although most of these people were farm implementers, there were also a few Asians. These were all employees that Ethan had recruited from the University of Tokyo recently. They came from all walks of life, because if you want to build an advanced country, all kinds of talents are indispensable.

As for the locals, Fang Heng does not deny that he is a nationalist, so the purpose of these farm tools is already very clear.

Just as these people were leaving, streaks of shooting stars appeared in the sky.

"Dad, is that a missile?"

Among the evacuating crowd, a little boy with an Asian face asked his father a question.

Seeing the trajectory of the missile flying in the sky, the father was very excited, never expecting that he could actually see the missile flying.

However, he then became somewhat worried. He had come here because of the high salary and generous benefits, but now that war had clearly broken out, he wondered if his side would be affected.

Soon, the group arrived at the Star Group headquarters building. After passing through the identification and scanning process, they all entered the underground base through the newly opened passage.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that none of the people in this group were of African descent; they were all of Asian descent.

After settling his son and wife in, Jiang Feng had just stepped outside when he saw the robot walking towards him.

"Dr. Jiang, according to the chairman's orders, you are required to go to the laboratory."

"Okay, I'm coming right now."

After reassuring his family, Jiang Feng quickly went to the laboratory.

When he arrived at the laboratory, he saw many top researchers gathered there. At the head of the group was a young man whom Jiang Feng recognized as Mr. Fang Heng, the head of the Star Group.

"Mr. Fang."

"Yes, Jiang Feng, you're here. Have you settled things with your family?"

"Thank you, Mr. Fang. Everything has been arranged."

"Very well, now that everyone is here, I won't waste any more words. Everyone here is a core member, and you all know about the lizardmen on Earth. So the reason for this emergency evacuation is because of the lizardmen's attack."

After a pause, Fang Heng continued speaking.

"Perfect timing. This is an excellent opportunity for experimentation. Jiang Feng, you are in charge of the biological research. For this direct combat operation, I will be using the Zerg. You oversee the data collection."

"Yes, Mr. Fang."

"Everyone else, don't worry about safety. I can guarantee your safety here. Ethan, project the image."

"yes!"

Soon, a projection appeared on the scene. Everyone gasped as they looked at the projection of the moon and the base on it.

Fang Heng observed everyone's reactions and nodded in satisfaction.

Currently, all research projects on Earth are conducted in a normal environment. However, many research projects require special environments, such as vacuum, microgravity, or high-radiation environments.

The emergence of the lunar base can fully meet some special experimental needs, which is why everyone is breathing heavily.

"As you can see, the group has already established a permanent research base on the moon, which can accommodate thousands of people to live and work. The internal circulation system can greatly improve the utilization rate of resources, and the stored resources are enough for thousands of people to use for a hundred years."

Upon hearing Fang Heng's explanation, all the researchers present had bright eyes and were very excited.

"Alright, that's all for now. A more comprehensive system will be issued later and implemented after this war. For now, you can observe this war to get a feel for the specific situation of the lizardmen."

"Yes, Mr. Fang!"

"Jiang Feng, pay attention to data collection. Everyone else is no exception. Your previous research will also be used this time. Pay attention to data collection, analyze the advantages and disadvantages, and find ways to innovate."

Upon hearing Fang Heng's instructions, everyone present nodded again.
