My Exclusive Dream World Adventures
Chapter 270 - Chapter 270 Depart at 270

Chapter 270: Depart at 270 Chapter 270: Depart at 270 Over the following months, Chen Xu threw all his energy into the construction of the colonization kit.

This place, as a base camp, might not be the best choice, but he had no other choice, because he couldn’t fly the spacecraft and couldn’t move to another location.

Of course, for a civilization that had unlocked controllable nuclear fusion technology, where the camp was situated wasn’t a big deal; at least in the early stages, there was no need to worry about a shortage of energy.

He was alone, and progress was slow. Relying on just two remaining large engineering vehicles, it took him a full three months to complete the installation of the entire colonization kit.

“It was not easy.”

He stood inside the newly built base control center, with the control system in front of him–a system from the supply spaceship, which had been moved here to serve as the base’s control system.

“Activate,” he said, pressing the red button.

There was a buzzing sound, and the ground quivered slightly.

Then, an electronic voice rang out, “Energy device activation successful, load normal, output voltage stable, initiating various settings. All main control room functions opened, biological manufacturing room activated, mechanical manufacturing room activated, electronics manufacturing room activated, chemical manufacturing room activated…”

With a series of prompts, the base began to operate normally.

“All base equipment successfully activated, everything is normal.”

Hearing the final prompt, Chen Xu completely relaxed and said, “For the upcoming year, we will follow plan b9, with a duration of one year.”

Within the system, there were many plans to choose from, and one could even create a plan.

He didn’t bother to come up with his own and instead picked one from the many.

Although the large nuclear fusion power generator buried deep underground could provide a continuous supply of energy, the output of each manufacturing room was limited. What to produce first and what to produce later had to be carefully calculated.

For example, the biological manufacturing room could create any form of life, as it held DNA from all Earth’s organisms. But there were only ten incubators, meaning at maximum only ten species could be cultivated at a time.

The mechanical manufacturing room could customize metal parts of any shape, provided they didn’t exceed a certain volume. Again, output was limited.

And so it was with the other manufacturing rooms.

What to produce first, what could be delayed, how much of each to produce–every detail required meticulous planning. The manufacturing rooms could only produce fairly simplistic items. Something like a robot couldn’t be made directly; the parts had to be manufactured first, then assembled.

This showed the limitations of the colonization kit–true self-replication was only attainable by climbing the rungs of technological advancement. This required abundant resources and plenty of time.

Hence, a detailed plan was extremely important. It was imperative to make the most of the limited output without waste.

Of course, since every planet was different, chosen plans could also vary significantly.

This planet had thick clouds, rarely letting sunlight through, so solar power wasn’t an option, and neither was wind power. Data collected over the past few months indicated the winds were not strong here.

The power from nuclear fusion also wasn’t limitless, necessitating consideration of alternative power generation methods.

There was so much to consider. He didn’t believe his off-the-cuff ideas could measure up to the schemes in the system, which had been summarized by predecessors.

…

After the base officially began operation, Chen Xu stayed for two more months. Only after the first batch of bioengineered humans was born did he feel at ease enough to leave and go in search of Yang Jinxia and Bai Jinxuan.

These bioengineered humans were created using biotech as accelerated humans. In the previous dream, Chen Xu had already seen similar technology and was no longer surprised by it.

On this desolate planet, the most important thing, of course, was people. Such a big base couldn’t possibly be managed by him alone.

Naturally, he used all ten incubators in the biological manufacturing room to cultivate bioengineered humans.

As soon as bioengineered humans were born, they had the physique of adults and their brains were infused with the necessary knowledge. They were ready to work immediately and served as extremely convenient labor.

However, this technology was severely prohibited by law. Only someone like Chen Xu, stranded on a desolate planet and having received colonization permissions, could make an exception to use such a technique.

But these bioengineered humans, which could be produced in just two months, had significant flaws: almost no ability to learn, not very adaptable, and a bit like robots, they went about their tasks in a wooden manner. Moreover, their lifespan was generally short, averaging only five years.

There were also more advanced bioengineered humans that required longer growth periods, needing half a year. And the highest grade of bioengineered humans needed a year’s time.

Even the highest-grade bioengineered humans were quite different from normal humans. To truly revive a civilization, natural humans were needed.

Yet, the human growth cycle was far too long; at least twenty years were needed to complete basic education and enter the workforce. During the early stages, when labor was most needed, it was not even a consideration.

After the ten bioengineered humans were born, Chen Xu observed them for two days. Seeing that they quickly got the hang of their duties, he finally felt relieved. He drove a large transport vehicle loaded with various supplies, left the base, and went to look for Yang Jinxia and Bai Jinxuan.

In the blink of an eye, they had been in the dream for over a year. Throughout this year and more, he had been constantly busy, hardly ever stopping.

He worried about the two of them in such a world; people with a lower psychological tolerance could easily be driven mad.

He guessed they were probably part of the previous expedition team. His spaceship had the coordinates of the last landing ship’s descent, which were quite a distance away.

He drove a large transport vehicle, part of the colonization kit with a large loading capacity. He took plenty of items, including food, various living supplies, and weapons.

This world was not safe; aside from lifeforms like the black bird, there were wild beasts. Without the base camp, he had to be extra careful to avoid unexpected mishaps.

The transport vehicle was very sturdy; even if he encountered black birds again, he would be unharmed.

In addition, he brought a drone for reconnaissance. The landing ship had few robots and drones, and after several accidents, few remained; this one was the last. So he was especially careful with it.

He set off towards his destination, sleeping only four to five hours a day, spending the rest of his time on the road.
