Monster Hunter: Farm Story Begins with Pokémon

Chapter 375: Opening a Moon Farm? (4.5k, supplemented on 5.15th day)
5 points in the early hours.

At the launch base in the center of the universe, Bai Zhen is making final preparations.

He changed into Rayquaza's armor, and rode on Rayquaza's head, with a transparent space ball like a backpack on his back.

The space inside the space ball is quite large and can hold two small Pokémon.

Through the window, you can see the very nervous Shaimi and the very excited Tailebagos inside.

Bai Zhen now carries three Pokémon with him.

Rayquaza is his 'spaceship' for traveling into space, so naturally he has to take it with him.

Xie Mi carries with him an extra-dimensional space containing air. Xie Mi can ensure the logistics and supplies, and it is also very convenient for him to bring some things back.

As for Tailebagos, Bai Zhen originally didn't want to take Tailebagos with him, after all, it would be difficult for Tailebagos to fight in space.

But during these few days of study, Bai Zhen discovered that the 360-degree crystal shield created by Taile Bagos was so airtight!
In other words, as long as Tailebagos uses energy, he can create an independent space. In this space, Bai Zhen only needs to fill it with oxygen using water-drop stone slabs, then Tailebagos and Shaimi can both survive in it.

Moreover, in its normal form, Tailebagos needs oxygen to survive, but in its star crystal state, Tailebagos can hold its breath for a long time.

After all, Tailebagos survived the ancient mantle changes. He could survive in the underground crystallization without oxygen for thousands of years, so it was very easy for him to survive in space for a few hours.

What they will face next is a super-large meteorite with a diameter of 16 kilometers. Having one more helper can ensure that the mission goes more smoothly.

After making preparations, at 5:20, Bai Zhen, with everyone's blessings, rode on Rayquaza and flew into the sky.

Bai Zhen grabbed the two horns on top of Rayquaza's head with both hands.

Rushing into the sky at an extremely fast speed, when it reached an altitude of 20 kilometers and entered the ozone layer, Bai Zhen's whole body was covered with black ghost energy.

He used the Yokai Slate to release a ghost-like attribute spray.

With the help of Bai Zhen's "booster", Rayquaza's flying speed also increased sharply.

They flew higher and higher, and soon they flew out of the planet's atmosphere.

Bai Zhen felt that there was no air around him, and even the sound stopped abruptly. Bai Zhen looked back at the planet they were on.

For those who have never been to space, the shock they feel when they see their own planet with their own eyes is beyond description.

Looking down at the entire planet from space, the planet is completely different from the Earth in his previous life. This is a completely independent universe.

Even the moon that people talk about is a completely different moon. It is called the moon only because the language of the Pokémon world is different from the language of the previous life.

Shami and Tailebagos, who entered space for the first time, looked at the blue planet in front of them and were also amazed by it.

After entering the space, Bai Zhen used energy to wrap his whole body and began to accelerate with Super Rayquaza.

In a vacuum environment, resistance is almost negligible. As he continues to accelerate, Rayquaza's speed will become faster and faster. Without resistance, there will naturally be no friction. Bai Zhen only needs to consider whether Rayquaza can withstand the instantaneous acceleration.

Moreover, Bai Zhen's body was connected to Arceus's body, and the energy of the stone slab was almost endless, so he didn't need to worry about the issue of "fuel" at all.

He accelerated with Rayquaza, and it only took ten minutes for Rayquaza and him to reach the first cosmic speed. Continuing to accelerate, it took about 30 minutes for the flying speed to reach 20 kilometers per second, far exceeding the third cosmic speed.

After the acceleration is completed, even if Rayquaza falls asleep in the universe, he can continue to fly forward at this speed.

At this time, Bai Zhen let Tailebagos come out of the space ball.

After coming out, Tailebagos immediately used his crystal shield.

A sky blue crystal shield with a diameter of about two meters covered Rayquaza's head. At this time, Bai Zhen used the Water Drop Slate to release oxygen.

This crystal shield with a diameter of about two meters was immediately filled with oxygen.

The external high and low temperatures and cosmic radiation cannot penetrate Tailebagos's crystal shield.

Shaymi was also able to get out of the space ball.

Shaymi looked at the deep space curiously.

But no matter how beautiful and mysterious the space is, you will get bored after looking at it for two or three hours.

It will take about four or five hours to reach the moon. There is little point in continuing to accelerate during this period because the moon has not yet orbited to the predetermined position.

This will fly over ahead of time, and they still have to look for the moon.

Sitting on Rayquaza's head, Shaymi and Tailebagos became bored after their initial excitement.

Xie Mi has begun to miss the ground. At least on the ground he can watch TV and play with his phone.

Shaymi was so bored that he opened his little spiritual world and took out a video game console from it.

"Want to come play?"

Bai Zhen was not surprised to see Xie Mi take out such a thing.

When they came to space, the experts at Solans suggested that they bring something that could help them relax.

There is a small corner in Xie Mi's other-dimensional space that is filled with toys.

Seeing that there were only two controllers, Bai Zhen asked Tailebagos to play with her, and he watched the two Pokémon play the game. It felt a little strange.

In the command center on the ground, Solans and others watched the real-time images transmitted back on the big screen and felt that Bai Zhen was very generous.

They had long anticipated that Bai Zhen would have a lot of time to play after going into space, but they didn't expect that he would start playing games just a few hours after being up there.

The voyage was boring, but with Shemmy, Tailebagos, and Rayquaza accompanying us, it was like taking a high-speed train overall.

At around 11 o'clock in the morning, Bai Zhen could already see the moon. At 11:32, with the help of Rayquaza, Bai Zhen landed steadily on the back of the moon.

A large number of craters can be seen on the back of the moon, and the surface of the moon is covered with powdery lunar dust. Stepping on it feels like stepping on flour.

The place Bai Zhen arrived at was the lunar base on the back of the moon.

Standing on a high ground, overlooking the entire lunar base.

This lunar base is composed of about a dozen independent square box cabins. If the solar panels for collecting energy are not counted, the length and width of the entire base are about 500×500 meters. If they are counted, the base area will increase by about three times.

Now, those parts of the buildings have been destroyed, and the large building in the center, whose purpose is unknown, has a big hole created by the meteorite.

Just one look at Bai Zhen revealed that this base was essentially ruined.

"Daigo said that this base has been abandoned for nearly 10 years. I hope the communication relay station can operate smoothly."

Bai Zhen activated the flying ability of the Rayquaza armor under light gravity, and he took Shaymi and Tailebagos to the center of the space base.

The energy here has been completely cut off, and the hatch cannot be opened automatically. Bai Zhen found the manual switch and opened the door.

The building at the center of the entire base covers an area of ​​about 10000 square meters. After entering it, Bai Zhen tried to contact the ground center, but because they were on the back of the moon, the signal could not reach the ground at all.

Helplessly, Bai Zhen could only go to the energy room of the base according to the knowledge he had learned before.

In the energy room, Bai Zhen asked Xie Mi to move out the independent [∞ Energy] generator that he had prepared earlier and connect the generator to the base's system.

After starting the generator, the lights in the entire base came on and the system began to operate normally.

Bai Zhen went to the control room again, operated the system, and let the system self-check.

Soon the base completed its self-inspection, and Bai Zhen was fully aware of the situation of the entire lunar base. The good news is that the integrity of the lunar base is still maintained at more than 60%, and many equipment can still operate normally.

The bad news is that the energy system and life support system are damaged.

Simply put, the entire base now has no energy and is unable to generate its own food, water, air, heat and other necessities for human survival. This is the most fatal thing.

The energy problem has been solved for the time being. With the [∞ Energy] generator, all equipment in the base can be started normally.

It's the life support system
As luck would have it, the meteorite hit the entire cabin directly. If we want to rebuild it, we need to launch new equipment.

With the equipment that was originally delivered, there was really no way to build these life-support equipment at the lunar base ourselves.

All those life-sustaining equipment combined would require at least ten tons of payload, and one ton might cost hundreds of millions of Alliance coins, so repairing it might cost billions of Alliance coins.

"No wonder Daigo said that if I repaired it, he would give me 500 million directly. 500 million can make the whole base run again. It's really a good deal."

Bai Zhen made a mental calculation.

According to current technology, it would probably be cheaper for the Green Ridge Space Center to reselect a site and launch new construction equipment to rebuild a new lunar base using local materials than to repair the entire lunar base.

Moreover, according to Daigo and Solance, they are indeed planning to do so.

This time, they plan to build the lunar base underground, and they have chosen a better location 1000 kilometers north of the lunar base.

And if nothing goes wrong, they will start implementing it 10 years later after they have mastered the key construction technology.

At that time, the energy system used by the new lunar base will not be photovoltaics, but [∞ energy].

Bai Zhen shook his head and stopped thinking about the future.

He continued to busy himself with his own things. He found the [Deep Space Signal Relay Station] and successfully activated the relay station. In total, it took about five or six hours from landing on the moon to completing the mission.

Everything went very smoothly.

After the deep space signal relay station was activated, Bai Zhen finally regained contact with the ground.

Send the information of the lunar base to Solance and Daigo at the ground center.

The two of them quickly gave Bai Zhen a plan to repair the lunar base together with a group of experts.

There is a small life support system equipment in Xie Mi’s small spiritual world, which can at most ensure the normal operation of a cabin.

Following the advice and guidance of the engineers, Bai Zhen connected the spare small life-support equipment to the system at the center of the base.

The damaged area is pressure blocked and the undamaged area is refilled with air and heat regulated.

Another two hours later, the undamaged central base was fully operational again.

Shaymi and Tailebagos can also live smoothly in the central base.

Seeing the images transmitted from the moon, Solans and Daigo were ecstatic. They did not expect that Bai Zhen could get the entire lunar base back into operation so easily.

Although this only means getting one of the main facilities up and running again and habitable, it is still a huge achievement.

All they need to do next is send people to the lunar base, and in about two to three years, the entire lunar base will be up and running again.

I wonder how much money Bai Zhen saved them with this move.

Daigo thanked Bai Zhen and said, "As agreed, I will reward you when you return safely."

With 500 million in revenue, Bai Zhen didn’t know how to spend it for a moment.

It is now around 11pm on November 7th.

There are about 49 hours left before Bai Zhen sets out to smash the meteorite.

Out of boredom, Bai Zhen went out to visit the lunar base.

The base center of the lunar base is divided into eight areas: the central control room, energy room, workshop, planting cabin, lunar rover garage, dining area, and rest cabin.

The meteorite destroyed the workshop and the lunar rover garage. Those two areas have now been blocked off and abandoned. Only about 10000 square meters of the 6000 square meter area are left.

As for the remaining places, Bai Zhen went to the control room and the energy room.

He visited the dining area, which was a large restaurant with a kitchen.

There are five rest cabins in total, each with four bunk beds. It can be seen that there were approximately 20 astronauts working here before.

As a farmer, Bai Zhen was most interested in the last planting cabin. He went to take a look and found that the plants grown here were not planted in the soil, but in culture dishes.

Bai Zhen took a brief tour and asked Xie Mi and Tai Le Bagos beside him: "What do you think vegetables grown in space taste like? Will they taste better? Or will the plants mutate on their own?"

"Meow?" Xie Mi stared at Bai Zhen with wide eyes.

We've already reached the moon, but we still want to open a farm here? ?
“You can’t grow it here, right?”

“This is difficult for other people, but it’s not difficult for me.”

There are many difficulties to overcome when growing crops here.

Plant growth requires light, water, oxygen, nutrients, soil, etc., and also requires solutions to problems such as weightlessness and inability to irrigate.

Most of these difficulties were nothing to him.

Water. He has the Water Drop Slate, which can generate infinite water. Now that the Water Drop Slate's capacity has been 100% developed, it will be easy for him to create an ocean on the moon.

Soil and nutrients. He has a universal tool and can make any soil reach its nutrient limit, so nutrition will definitely not be a problem.

As for oxygen, he can use electric techniques to electrolyze water to produce oxygen.

The life-support device that Xie Mi brought uses the electrolysis of water to generate oxygen.

The only things he might not be able to solve personally are light and weightlessness, but these problems can be solved with technology.

The only difficult problem that technology can solve is the provision of nutritious soil and water over a large area, and he can solve these most difficult problems himself.

When Bai Zhen thought of this, the farming blood in his body awakened.

At this point, he couldn't sit still anymore, so he said to Shemi and Taile Bagos, "Let's go and see if we can grow vegetables on the lunar soil."

"Do you really want to plant it?"

Xie Mi saw Bai Zhen walk out of the planting cabin and hurriedly followed.

"Give it a try. What if it really works? Don't you want to taste vegetables grown on the moon? If it does, I'll give it to you first."

When Xie Mi heard that he could taste the vegetables grown on the moon, he swallowed greedily.

Bai Zhen continued to seduce, "I don't know about other people, but I think if you have eaten it, you will definitely be the first Xie Mi in the world to eat space vegetables."

Xie Mi shouted, "Let's go plant some vegetables! I want to be the first to taste them after they're grown!"

Bai Zhen laughed: "Of course."

Xie Mi has a natural anti-toxic physique. Whether the vegetables grown in the lunar soil are poisonous or not, let Xie Mi taste them first to know.
