My Exclusive Dream World Adventures
Chapter 297 - Chapter 297 297 ten years

Chapter 297: 297 ten years Chapter 297: 297 ten years Chen Xu turned his head to look at Yang Jinxia, his gaze flickering slightly, as he said, “I know, no matter what I do, you will support me.”

“Mm.”

Yang Jinxia reached out with her other hand to touch his face, “If you want to be a good person, I’ll join you in doing good. If you want to be a bad guy, I’ll accompany you in killing and arson.”

Chen Xu gripped her hand tightly, looking into her eyes for a long time without speaking.

…

“The loss report is out–” Zheng She’s voice arose from the side, “A total of seven thousand robots lost, drones five hundred. And six hundred fifty-two signal relay stations.”

For the entire base, this was a significant loss. Chen Xu had arranged two lines of defense: one of two thousand robots, three kilometers away, and another of five thousand robots with even more solid fortifications.

Unexpectedly, the mysterious weapon was so powerful that it destroyed the five thousand robots several kilometers away.

With this blow, nearly one-fifth of the robots were lost.

And five hundred drones, one-third was lost.

Compared with that, the loss of over six hundred signal relay stations seemed insignificant as they could be completely repaired within a day.

However, at this time, no matter how great the loss was, Chen Xu no longer cared.

…

A few days later, the landing craft returned, bringing back a large amount of nuclear fuel and finally solving the energy depletion problem.

The original mission of the landing craft was exploration, and the plan called for continuous reinforcements, so it did not carry much nuclear fuel. Fortunately, the subsequent supply ships had sufficient fuel.

Over the past seven years, Chen Xu expanded wildly, consuming a vast amount of fuel, nearly running out.

Now, with an endless supply of fuel, he could spread out his operations without any reservations.

This could be considered the second phase; Chen Xu’s plan was to create a controllable nuclear fusion power generation device. To achieve this, he first needed to max out each pre-requisite technology. The sheer number of technologies required going back was daunting.

Roughly estimated, it would take ten years.

The underground world might have been scared stiff, as they did not send any more troops to the surface. Chen Xu did not actively attack the underground world, but this did not mean he did nothing–he once again sent out his clones into the underground world. The main mission still needed to be accomplished.

Half a year later, the clone returned safely.

The forces of the underground world, indeed, dared not lay a hand on him.

This time, the clone, having learned the underground language, brought back a large amount of intelligence about the underground world. Later on, various forces were eager to contact him, and this time he even learned the written language of the underground world, which could be considered a huge gain.

After extracting the content from the intelligent brain, Chen Xu once again sent the clone into the underground world.

Thus, two years later, Chen Xu had emptied the underground world of the secrets controlled by the major forces. It was so easy it was hard to believe.

According to the records from the “Temple,” a thousand years ago, this planet was like Earth, and humans lived on the surface. There was no cloud layer enveloping the planet, nor the intense radiation.

Until one day, a war broke out.

The cause of the war is still a mystery. It was known only that suddenly, a major country threw a nuclear bomb at another, and in just one day, nuclear war began, catching everyone off guard.

And this was just the beginning; what followed was a hundred years of war.

In this protracted war, in addition to nuclear weapons, various newly developed superweapons, weather weapons, genetic weapons, etc., were used in a race to deploy them.

The war’s environmental destruction was too severe; it worsened continuously, making the surface uninhabitable, prompting countries to dig underground holes unanimously. This was the origin of the underground world.

In the end, when small countries were almost wiped out, and only a few major countries were hanging on, barely surviving, the war finally ended because it was no longer feasible to continue fighting, and by then humans had moved underground.

In the beginning, the underground of this continent was interconnected, with subways for transportation. Until one unprecedented earthquake caused massive collapses in the underground world, countless lives were lost, and transportation was completely cut off.

The area of District Thirteen was not small, enough to accommodate millions of people. If they had worked together to reopen the passages, it might not have been impossible.

Unfortunately, due to the selfishness of some, this option was abandoned. Gradually, it evolved into what it is now.

Chen Xu also got the entrance map to the underground world of the entire continent. The closest one was five hundred kilometers away, the entrance to District Twelve.

“These people are too spineless.”

Yang Jinxia, looking at the information, couldn’t help but sigh. This was her fourth time entering the dream, Chen Xu’s tenth year in the dreamworld.

“They even voluntarily disclosed such secrets.”

Chen Xu said, “If they had any backbone, they wouldn’t have fallen into their current plight. I have to say, this food manufacturing technology is quite interesting.”

“If they hadn’t revealed it voluntarily, the clone might not have been able to find the entrance to the underground layer.”

In the underground world, there is another level below, filled with laboratories, manufacturing factories, and food cultivation areas. Corresponding to the living area above, the lower layer is the production area.

To enter the production area, you would have to go through several entrances, which are controlled by the major forces that do not allow outsiders. The clone’s mission was to gather intelligence and not to cause trouble that could jeopardize the mission.

As a result, the underground world’s forces scared themselves and even voluntarily confessed.

Most of the factories and laboratories on the lower level had been abandoned, only the cultivation area was still operational.

As the saying goes, “Food is the paramount necessity of the people.” They were able to rule District Thirteen because they controlled the cultivation area and thus the food.

Upon learning of the production areas underground, Chen Xu sent a squad of robots to pilfer, and the people of those forces, as though petrified, didn’t even dare to resist.

Just like that, Chen Xu acquired a large amount of the planet’s technological data. A considerable part had been lost since the era was so distant, many computers had failed, and the storage devices were utterly damaged.

Of course, these things were just icing on the cake. He couldn’t finish learning all the technology from the spaceship, let alone that from the underground world; at most, it could serve as a reference.

Chen Xu said, “According to our current progress, in another half year, we should be able to expand the base to the entrance of District Twelve. I wonder what the situation will be like over there.”

Yang Jinxia said, “I think we shouldn’t have too high expectations, five hundred kilometers is not a very long distance.”
