Chapter 377: Lunar Exploration Plan
Chapter 377: Lunar Exploration Plan
After Yun Ru's modifications, the Hyperspace Teleportation Device's teleportation capability reached a new height, soaring from the original ten thousand units to one hundred thousand units!
In other words, if it were to teleport individuals, it could transport one hundred thousand people to the Moon. This was good news for Su Chen.
Su Chen knew that the Moon was home to many minerals that didn't exist on Earth. If he could establish a base there, it would be another energy point source.
Even if the Red Alert base didn't use it, Human scientists could research new weapon equipment based on the Moon's unique minerals.
One hundred thousand units was a significant number. Su Chen decided to allocate ten thousand slots to the Human Emperor for them to choose suitable candidates. Of course, the minimum requirement to go to the Moon was being a fifth-tier Transcendent.
Human experiments had proven that only fifth-tier Transcendents could survive for a period of time in an oxygen-free environment.
Fifth-tier Transcendents could use their own energy to temporarily dispense with the need for breathing, but they couldn't sustain it for long.
On the other hand, eighth-order experts could survive in a vacuum environment solely on energy for up to a month. With a supply of energy, their survival time could be even longer.
Although every Human Emperor wanted to go to the Moon, there were many things to attend to on Earth. They discussed the matter and finally decided that Emperor Kong, Eastern Emperor, White Emperor, and Emperor Yu would go to the Moon, while the others would remain on Earth.
While the Human Emperor selection was decided, selecting nearly ten thousand other individuals wasn't easy. After all, who wouldn't want to go to the Moon?
With no other option, the Human Emperor came up with a solution: random selection.
As long as the individual was a fifth-tier Transcendent, they were all eligible to sign up. In the end, 9,996 people were randomly selected to participate in this grand operation.
Due to the sheer magnitude of this operation, it was dubbed the Lunar Exploration Plan and garnered attention from all of Humanity.
No, not just HumanityMutants and Mutant Beasts were also paying attention to this event.
"Fortunately, we surrendered to Humans back then. I didn't expect that Humans could actually land on the Moon," the Sinister Emperor sighed.
Back then, it was the most vehemently opposed Mutant Emperor against surrendering to Humans. If it weren't for the Mirror King disguised as Number One Spy being the first to surrender, it would probably still be resisting in a corner.
Now that it saw Humans were already planning to land on the Moon, the Sinister Emperor realized that their surrender had been the right choice.
If Humans could achieve landing on the Moon, what else couldn't they do?
Not only the Moon landing, but the recent extraterrestrial events also astonished it. After all, it had always stayed on Earth and had no concept of other celestial bodies.
Not just the Sinister Emperor, other intelligent Mutants felt relief after learning about this. Humans were truly fearsome.
Mutant Beasts didn't have strong feelings about it. After all, the number of Mutant Beasts possessing intelligence comparable to Humans was few, and most acted on instinct.
Originally, according to Su Chen's plan, the first Moon landing should have been more ceremonious. Unfortunately, he wasn't using rockets to reach the Moon; he was using the Hyperspace Teleportation Device. It was just a blink of an eye, and there was no need for a live broadcast.
"Miscalculation. It seems that when we have the chance, we should have Yun Ru develop rockets. Only then will it have a sense of ceremony," Su Chen silently thought.
At this moment, on an open space, ninety thousand Red Alert units were standing neatly on the ground, while not far away, was a team of ten thousand led by the Human Emperor.
Because Su Chen had promised to establish a base on the Moon and would be in charge of it, the Human Emperor's group consisted entirely of people. They didn't bring any large equipment.
This was the first time these people had seen the Red Alert troops up close, and they were quite curious.
Everyone knew that Humans had defeated the Mutants and Mutant Beasts. The Red Alert base's contributions were significant. What they cared about even more was the seemingly indomitable will that the Red Alert Soldiers exuded from their steel-like bodies.
"Sovereign Su, all personnel are assembled!" Emperor Kong stepped forward, his voice echoing across the area.
"Alright." Su Chen nodded and looked at everyone. He said, "What's going to happen next may be quite astonishing for you. Everyone, use energy to envelop your bodies."
As soon as he finished speaking, including the Red Alert Soldiers, everyone extended their internal energy, covering their entire bodies.
Snap!
Along with Su Chen snapping his fingers, in the blink of an eye, everyone at the scene disappeared.
In their eyes, they felt a momentary blur, and suddenly found themselves in another location. They experienced a sensation of weightlessness, and some individuals noticed that they could slightly exert force and rise up.
"Where is... the Moon!" Emperor Kong exclaimed in shock.
Everyone looked around. There was no blue sky and white clouds above them, only gray sand and craters. In the distance, there was boundless darkness. All these were secondary; they gazed upwards and saw a sight they had never seen in their lives.
"Is this Earth? I never thought our planet would be so beautiful," someone murmured.
Indeed, from their position, they could clearly see a azure blue planet, stunningly beautiful.
"Yun Ru, activate the gravity device." Su Chen's words interrupted their reverie of admiring Earth's scenery.
Yun Ru casually took out a huge device, placed it on the ground, and tinkered with it. People realized that they were walking on the ground, feeling exactly like on Earth, within a hundred kilometers radius.
"Sovereign Su, what is this thing? How did it suddenly make the Moon's gravity the same as Earth's?" Emperor Kong keenly perceived that this item was extraordinary.
"This is the gravity device we've just developed. Originally, the Moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's, making it inconvenient for Humans to move freely on it. However, with this device, within a hundred-kilometer radius, it feels the same as on Earth." Su Chen explained.
By the way, they could communicate in a vacuum, transmitting sound directly through energy fluctuations. Those who could achieve this level of communication were at least fifth-tier Transcendents.
Of course, when fifth-tier Transcendents spoke, it was usually intermittent, lacking the fluency of Su Chen and his group.
The gravity device was meant to increase gravity, whereas an anti-gravity device was meant to decrease gravity. Given the current needs of the Moon, the gravity device was sufficient.
Afterward, Su Chen led his Red Alert troops away from this area, while the Human Emperor led their group to explore the area freely.
Su Chen left to avoid letting them witness the process of building the base. If anyone suddenly saw buildings springing up one after another, they would undoubtedly be startled.
"MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle), deploy!" After a long time, Su Chen once again shouted out these words.
