Chapter 19 A New World Locked In, Preparing to Travel Again

The far side of the moon.

As the teleportation device flashed, Fang Heng's figure appeared inside.

Upon arriving at the bridge, Ethan was already waiting there.

"Ethan, I heard they detected a new world?"

"Yes, Commander. Just one day ago, we detected new spacetime coordinates and, after further exploration, pinpointed the exact location."

"Very good, can you confirm what world this is?"

"With our current technology, we can only confirm that the target world is a technological world; other than that, we are not very clear."

"Well done. Knowing it's a technological world is already a huge step forward. This must be technology obtained through reverse teleportation, right?"

"Yes, Commander. Through enhanced research by the clone scientists, the reverse engineering of the teleportation array is proceeding smoothly, and the related technological reserves are also increasing."

"Very good. By the way, how's the construction of the lunar base going?"

"Commander, the energy plant has been completed and the energy problem has been temporarily resolved. The materials processing base has only completed the deployment of mining equipment. The smelting equipment is still under construction. It is expected that the first integrated smelting center will be completed in about a month."

"So, the Jackal fighter jets can be repaired now?"

"Yes, Commander. After our inspection, the Jackal fighter jet will take ten days to repair. That means the first Jackal will be ready for use in just 40 days."

"Very good, what about the other areas?"

"Preliminary preparations for the dock project have been completed. The design drawings and construction site have been selected. Construction can begin at any time once the materials are ready."

As he spoke, Ethan projected the entire lunar base onto the combat platform on the bridge.

"Commander, this area contains a newly built smart factory, specifically designed to construct intelligent engineering robots to accelerate the construction of other areas."

"Is it finished?"

"Based on the current progress, we expect to officially start production in three days. Our main resources are currently focused on this, and once it is completed, production capacity can be maximized."

After listening to Ethan's story, Fang Heng nodded.

Ethan's plan is very well-organized, starting with energy infrastructure. Only by ensuring sufficient energy can the next step of the plan be carried out.

After the energy supply is sufficient, the next step is to build the tools. As the saying goes, "A skilled craftsman must first have the right tools." Relying solely on the ten construction robots that Fang Heng brought from the bio-world, it would be a long process to complete the construction of the massive lunar base.

Only by using these ten construction robots to produce more construction robots can the construction of the base be accelerated.

"How many clones do we have now?"

"Commander, as of now, the total number of clones is 1000, of which only 200 are at the lunar base, and the remaining 800 are on Earth."

As he spoke, Ethan showed the distribution map of the clones.

"Inside the lunar base, there are a total of 100 enhanced clone scientists, 50 enhanced clone soldiers, and 50 logistics personnel. This is the maximum number of people the lunar base can currently support. Any more than that, and the organic matter will not be able to meet the demand."

"On Earth, there are 10 researchers, 190 engineering and logistics personnel, and the remaining 600 are clone warriors distributed throughout your territory."

Seeing this, Fang Heng nodded in satisfaction. 1000 people may not seem like many, but these clones are all enhanced clones.

The first batch of clones were also injected with enhancement agents, becoming enhanced clones. Even though they were not good at fighting, their physical abilities were extremely strong.

"Very good. By the way, what about the defensive systems?"

"Due to resource constraints, our current defenses mainly consist of meteorites from space. Therefore, I have installed five laser cannons around the base, which is sufficient to intercept falling meteorites."

"Hmm, well done. Now, let's talk about the progress of the teleportation device?"

"Commander, through our research on the teleportation device, in addition to being able to locate and lock the type of world, we have also found a method for large-scale teleportation."

"Large-scale teleportation? Does that mean it can teleport multiple people now?"

"No, Commander. The large-scale teleportation here refers to the ability to transport inanimate matter in large quantities, up to 50 tons at a time, but it requires beacon navigation."

Fang Heng was somewhat disappointed to hear that he couldn't teleport life forms, but he quickly adjusted his mood. After all, this was just the beginning, and as more and more researchers joined, large-scale spacetime teleportation would eventually be possible.

"This is good progress. It means that when I travel to other worlds, I can obtain assistance from robot legions by establishing beacons."

"Yes, Commander."

"By the way, speaking of which, how large has the unmanned legion expanded to now?"

"1000 Wuzu robots, 100 Xiaotian mechanical dogs, 10 Xingtian giant combat mechs, and 100 Xuanya drones."

"The other Guardians, these first-generation robots, total 2000 units."

"That's quite a few. Has the beacon communication issue been resolved?"

"It has been solved. Through entanglement in the quantum realm, seamless communication can be achieved, although it consumes a lot of energy."

"It's alright, high energy consumption isn't a problem. The most important thing is to solve the problem of having it at all."

After learning about the current situation of the lunar base, Fang Heng began to prepare the things needed for this journey.

The current teleportation device still transports life forms of the same size as before, so it still uses the same standard configuration: a full-coverage exoskeleton armor and an external weapon system.

In addition, two enhanced clone warriors teleported with him.

They didn't carry many supplies, just one: a locator beacon.

If you were to start manufacturing beacons from scratch, it would be fine if you were in the modern world, as you would have the ability to manufacture some parts. However, if you were to travel back to before the millennium, the industrial base at that time would be completely inadequate for manufacturing them.

Therefore, to avoid trouble, Fang Heng brought a ready-made beacon, which could be used immediately upon arrival.

After everything was ready, Fang Heng did not immediately teleport.

Because several major events have happened on Earth in the past few days.

The first thing Fang Heng did was to launch his first functional beverage through the Xingchen Group, which sold extremely well after its effectiveness was confirmed.

Of course, because its effects are so powerful, it has also attracted the attention of the five great powers, and a large number of special personnel have appeared in the city of Stanje in the past few days.

Fang Heng also took this matter seriously. He believed that he was currently strong enough to protect himself. As long as he could hold out for a while longer, at least his own territory would be safe, let alone other places.

The second thing is that a large-scale firefight broke out somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. Ethan also tracked down the details and found out that it was a battle between the joint fleet of China and the United States and the Lizardmen.

However, no video footage of the scene was found; only a briefing on the mission was obtained.

After this incident, Fang Heng also noticed that the activities of special agents around his territory had decreased significantly, apparently because the Pacific incident had diverted the attention of the five major powers.

A month later, with the last partition installed, Fang Heng finally repaired a Jackal fighter jet.

"Ethan, the Jackal fighter jets are now repaired. How long will it take for the Raven transport plane to arrive?"

"The Raven transport plane is severely damaged and requires many parts. It will take at least 15 days to complete the repairs, and after safety inspections, it will take a total of 20 days before it can be used again."

"No problem, 20 days. If this world proves valuable, I'll stay longer. I'll notify you of the specifics via beacon then."

"Yes, Commander."

After giving his instructions, Fang Heng made his final preparations.

Soon, Fang Heng took his position again, along with two other fully armed enhanced clone warriors.

During this period, Fang Heng did not enhance himself, because of Ethan's suggestion, Fang Heng temporarily had no intention of enhancing himself.

After the enhancer was manufactured, there were theoretically no problems, but so far all experiments have been based on clones.

Despite the Umbrella Corporation's advanced cloning technology, there are still genetic differences between clones and natural humans.

Therefore, experiments on natural persons were also being conducted concurrently during this period.

However, the time frame is too short and the data collection is insufficient, so it has not yet reached the stage where it can be used safely.

Fang Heng readily followed Ethan's advice and did not rush to strengthen his character.

Anyway, since I'm wearing an exoskeleton armor which provides some enhancements, I don't need to worry too much about safety.

Soon, all preparations were complete, and Ethan arrived at the control panel, ready to start the device.

"Commander, all preparations are complete, and the teleportation will begin shortly. Please prepare accordingly."

"Let's begin, Ethan."

"Yes, Commander."

As Ethan activated the teleportation device, just like before, a dark hole appeared, swallowing Fang Heng and two other enhanced clone warriors.

After the teleportation ended, the lights in the teleportation room began to flicker before stabilizing again after a while.

"Calculation complete, detailed coordinates captured, device is charging."

"Activate the beacon scanning device and operate it continuously for 24 hours."

"Beacon scanning has started, searching..."

Seeing that all preparations were complete, Ethan left to continue his previous mission.

While Fang Heng was being transported to other worlds, things were starting to get lively on Blue Star.

First, the five major powers announced the formation of a joint fleet to patrol major sea areas around the world.

However, this is mainly led by China and the United States, since only these two countries have relatively strong naval forces.

Perhaps sensing the threat, the combined fleet was also attacked by the lizardmen, and the attacks occurred in several oceans.

The continuous attacks have heightened tensions across the entire planet.
