Returning to hometown to farm: The apocalypse system arrived ten years earlier?

Chapter 373 The Second City on the Moon: Jade Rabbit City (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)
On the moon, a new underground city was built, located more than 1,200 kilometers away from Guanghan City, and was called "Jade Rabbit City".

Jade Rabbit City is also designed to accommodate 2000 million people.

During the construction of Guanghan City, including the construction of the Helium-3 controlled nuclear fusion reactor, the decoration of residential and commercial areas, the construction and operation of the underground farm, and the immigration scene of the space carrier landing at the lunar surface port, Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui specially arranged a team to record the entire process of the city's creation from scratch. After all, this is the first time in human history that a city has been built on a large scale on the moon, and it is a super-city with a population of 2000 million.

Now, Guanghan City is almost completed, and all the videos, photos, and interview clips are undergoing post-production processing, editing, adding background music, subtitles, etc. At the same time, some scenes of the start of construction of Yutu City have also been filmed as behind-the-scenes footage of this epic blockbuster that marks the beginning of human interstellar migration.

The high-definition documentary, which lasts for more than two hours, was also released on the official websites of City 03, Los Santos, and Moonlight City after obtaining permission from Li Xiang and Jiang Cai'er.

Without needing to be prominently featured or deliberately promoted, it stirred up a huge wave of interest, drawing unprecedented attention from major dungeons around the world. More and more people clicked to watch, and in just 24 hours, the number of viewers exceeded four billion.

North America: "What the hell? They already have over 2000 million people on the moon? And they're planning to add another 2000 million? Are we that far behind?"

"Indeed! Times have changed. We used to be the world's police! The beacon of humanity! But that glory is gone!"

British Empire: "..."

In Los Santos, several core members of the Brotherhood of Rust were drinking and watching a documentary at a bar, marveling at the black soil cultivation system of the lunar underground farm: "We're still using alien fur to keep warm, and they've even improved lunar soil into fertile land! Luckily we came here. Los Santos is a major city under Li Shen's control. Maybe we can apply and immigrate to the moon."

They were fortunate to have joined Los Santos. Although their forces had been broken up and absorbed, life was better than before. At least, they had alcohol to drink!
In the South Asian subcontinent, in an underground slum, someone downloaded a video and shared it with their people. Looking at the unbelievable scenes on the screen, and then looking back at their own conditions—like a doghouse, with makeshift tents, some even without tents—everyone fell silent.

Someone murmured, “If only we had had the chance to immigrate to Los Santos back then. We were originally the third caste. Those Dalits who immigrated to Los Santos were even lower and poorer than us. They couldn’t compare to us at all. But I heard that after they were taken away by Li Shen, they lived a more comfortable life in Los Santos than the high castes here. They not only had enough to eat and wear, but also had a fair opportunity to learn breathing techniques. Some of them even had the chance to go to the moon.”

In Southeast Asia, the Thai underground city elites who had been supported by Kanna repeatedly studied the helium-3 nuclear fusion reactor in the documentary about the Moon City. After failing to replicate it, they lamented: "In the same era of disaster, they have already lit up eight lunar reactors and will build more in the future. They even obtain helium-3 directly from lunar soil, while we are in short supply of diesel generators."

"Not only are diesel generators in short supply, but energy is also scarce. Oil reserves are almost depleted, and weapons stocks are almost empty as well."

"Contact City 03 and see if we can exchange population for some weapons and energy."

"It is said that they only want young, beautiful women who are suitable for childbearing, because the area favors sons over daughters, resulting in a gender imbalance and many men not being able to find wives."

"My God, it's the complete opposite on our side; too many men have died in battle."

"Contact them immediately and get a replacement!"

Some of the Japanese dungeons are also considering whether they can trade women for weapons and energy. After all, Japan has a male-to-female ratio, and men in Country C have always been very interested in their country's young girls.

When the news spread, some eligible women in these underground cities were extremely excited, revealing endless longing and anticipation. Many people rushed to sign up, and some even privately used various connections.

Ordinary residents were particularly interested in one of the details of daily life: "Los Santos and Moon City both have hot spring bathhouses! They use the remains of high-level Skyhawks for heating, while we have to limit the supply of hot water."

"I haven't taken a shower in more than half a year."

"I haven't showered in a year. In this dark and cold era, taking a bath is too much of a luxury."

In Munich, Europe, scientists calculated the parameters of the Narwhal by extracting frames from a documentary and exclaimed in amazement: "My God, this is more than just a generation behind. Their advanced technology is at least seven or eight generations ahead of ours."

A Berlin scholar summarized on a dark web forum: "They have covered in thirty years what humanity took three hundred years to achieve in space travel, and now they are rewriting the history of interstellar civilization in three years."

The Parisian art scene is abuzz with the combination of holographic dance drama and rabbit-shaped mecha: "We engraved Picasso's paintings on tin cans, and they used mecha to perform 'The Dance of the Rainbow Skirt'."

Domestically, 72 underground city clusters are celebrating this achievement, after all, the lunar immigrants to Guanghan City were recruited from across the country. Now, the construction of the second city, "Yutu City," has begun, and the opportunity to obtain "lunar residency" is once again before everyone.

International media outlets widely reported on the news of Guanghan City and Yutu City, with many experts commenting and remarking: "Country C has achieved a leap to interstellar civilization. While the world is still struggling to cope with the invasion of alien beasts, Country C has achieved a breakthrough across the entire chain of [divine-level combat escort + space carrier transportation + lunar energy development + ecological closed-loop construction], transforming post-apocalyptic survival into a journey to the stars. They are the true beacon of humanity, the hope of the people of Earth!"

International opinion was in an uproar, with underground cities from various countries jointly petitioning for a portion of the 2000 million immigrants to Jade Rabbit City to be allocated to foreigners. They didn't want to be left behind and wanted to ride on Country C's coattails to learn advanced technology and experience.

This joint petition eventually landed on the desks of Li Xiang and Jiang Cai'er.

After discussion, the two decided to allocate one-tenth of the quota, or 200 million people, to foreigners.

However, only highly skilled individuals, such as those who have achieved outstanding results in academia or those who are exceptional individuals of level five or above, are eligible to apply. Once approved, they can bring their families with them for immigration.

Jade Rabbit City will provide different amounts of settlement allowances based on their past achievements and level of talent.

This talent level is divided into five tiers: A, B, C, D, and E. Even the lowest-level talent, E, can enjoy a three-bedroom apartment and a resettlement allowance of 600,000 heat coins.

Children's education will naturally not be a problem. Jade Rabbit City will build supporting primary, middle and high schools and universities, and the teaching staff will be transferred from Country C.

Even the breathing technique teachers in elementary schools are all level five or higher superhumans. In middle schools and universities, there are often saint-level superhumans giving lectures. In fact, Li Shen holds two or three lectures a year.

You couldn't even get someone like that in other places.

A dramatic scene unfolded during the application process: some talented individuals brought as many as forty or fifty family members with them!
Naturally, a thorough review was necessary, and it was eventually discovered that they were all legitimate family members.

For example, one of the sixth-level superhumans actually had eight wives, more than twenty children, plus the families of his eight wives. Wow, such a large and impressive family! It stunned the Chinese people.

Because of the collapse of the post-apocalyptic order, polygamy has emerged. Of course, it doesn't exist in China yet. After all, there are more men than women in China; the only problem is that some men can't find wives.

However, in many foreign countries, polygamy has a long-standing tradition, and it has become even more prevalent after the end of the world.

After review, some were indeed married long ago, but others were simply taking advantage of loopholes and hastily getting married. Those who engaged in such "fraud" were naturally disqualified.

Then, Li Xiang and Jiang Cai'er quickly added a clause: "Each family is limited to a maximum of ten people!"

Even so, some single talents are highly sought after at this time.

……

Li Xiang entrusted all these matters to Jiang Cai'er because Jiang Cai'er was more capable in government affairs than he was.

Now that he is a God-King, and with the few God-King level beasts in the deep underground universe refusing to appear, Li Xiang is practically invincible. He swept across the country, subduing all the untamed Saint-level beasts within its borders. The country was now peaceful.

As they passed through the ancestral Qinling Mountains, Li Xiang had a sudden thought and burrowed deep underground, where an old man in imperial robes came out to greet him.

"Senior, how have you been?" "I dare not accept the title of senior. I did not expect that you have reached the God King Realm in such a short time. Congratulations." The old man in the imperial robe looked at Li Xiang in surprise for several times. When they first met, Li Xiang was just a minor extraordinary person. Now, his aura was far superior to his.

"No matter how high your cultivation level is, I am still a junior." Li Xiang smiled modestly and chatted with the old man in the imperial robes. After all, the old man in the imperial robes had a long lifespan and was a dragon spirit from the Zhou Dynasty.

These earth spirits were once incredibly powerful, but they were injured in battles with earth spirits from other countries. Although they killed the earth spirits from those countries, they themselves suffered considerable damage. Later, their foundations were destroyed by an evil feng shui sorcerer from a foreign land. Most importantly, their lifespans are nearing their end. A god-level being only has a lifespan of a few thousand years. Without breaking through to the God-King realm, they will inevitably dissipate sooner or later.

Moreover, their strength and condition are related to the fortune of the nation and country they embody. When the country is in turmoil and weak, their strength also declines.

Li Xiang pondered that he should pay attention to this aspect in the future, and he must not let chaos arise under his rule, but rather make the region stronger and stronger.

Once Jade Rabbit City is completed, he plans to build several more underground cities on the moon.

However, when it comes to interstellar migration, Mars is the most suitable planet within the solar system.

Of the eight planets in our solar system, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are terrestrial planets, primarily composed of rocks, metals, and soil, with high density and a solid state. In contrast, the Jovian planets—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune—are mainly composed of gases and ice, with lower density, larger volume, and a gaseous state.

Gas-based matter is naturally unsuitable for interstellar migration.

Li Xiang bid farewell to the old man in the imperial robes, and after sweeping through the country several times to make sure no Saint-level beings had escaped, he flashed off to sweep abroad.

Of course, he also took this opportunity to visit Chiba Yukio and her daughter, as well as Eileen.

The twin magatama longed to go to the moon, but if they went, Chiba Yukio would be left to fend for herself alone, so she chose to stay in Japan.

Eileen, on the other hand, didn't want to travel around. Her ancestral home was here, her parents' graves were here, and her children were still young.

"I want to seize the opportunity to have a few more children. I can't go back on my promise to have ten kids." Eileen hugged Li Xiang's neck, her passion burning.

Cousin Shen Wenqian: "Could you not do it in front of me?"

……

There were too many alien beasts in the space. Li Xiang only imprisoned or killed Saint-level beasts, which only solved about one-sixth of them. He replenished the number of spirit beasts from 360 to 280, with 80 slots remaining for higher-level alien beasts in the future.

He killed all the Saint-level opponents he encountered after that. To be honest, he no longer held Saint-level opponents in high regard; he wouldn't have done so if it weren't for the safety of Earth.

Thanks to Li Xiang's rampage, many Saint-level alien beasts went into hiding and dared not attack human dungeons easily anymore. The pressure on major dungeons around the world was greatly reduced. Although they were still fraught with danger, they were no longer on the verge of being breached and slaughtered as easily as before.

But the biggest hidden danger is still those few deep underground.

Li Xiang didn't waste too much time on these countless small karami. He collected enough achievement points and increased his speed again. After spending more than 10 billion achievement points, his speed had increased to 600 kilometers per second, about two-thousandths of the speed of light.

Having reached a new level, the hundred grains of star sand he had previously condensed, each weighing a thousand tons, seemed too light. He combined those hundred grains into ten grains of star sand each weighing ten thousand tons. Then, he went into space, found a meteorite belt, and spent more than ten days condensing a thousand grains of star sand each weighing ten thousand tons.

Each one is the size of a soybean, round and shiny, and each has a different color, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple... displaying more than ten kinds of metallic luster, circulating around the body at high speed, truly dazzling and radiant.

……

On Earth, the population of Jade Rabbit City is being recruited and verified, while on the Moon, Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui have arrived in Jade Rabbit City together to oversee the construction of this new lunar city.

The city lord of Jade Rabbit City is Lei Xiaohui, while the city lord of Guanghan City is Zhao Xueqing.

Originally, Lei Xiaohui was supposed to be in charge of the work by herself, but Zhao Xueqing was worried that it would be too much for her to handle alone, so she came to help.

In any case, the two cities are not far apart, and you can get there quickly whether you fly by yourself, pilot the Xuan Niao-3 fighter jet, or take the underground maglev train.

In the future, these two cities will definitely need to look out for and help each other.

When sisters are of one mind, their strength can break metal. With Zhao Xueqing's emotional intelligence, no matter how busy she is, she will always make time to come and help.

In addition to subway stations, there is Tianhe Airport (the docking port for space carriers), large land-based and space-based radar stations, a lunar version of the Beidou navigation system, the Qianfan constellation, and the Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue.

"Qianfan Constellation" is a giant low-Earth orbit satellite internet constellation, an enhanced version of the Starlink network.

The "Thousand-Hand Guanyin" is an extended version of the "hands" and "eyes" that are spread throughout the moon and the space near the moon, all for Jiang Cai'er's lunar AI clone. They are densely packed, with a "beacon," "camera," or other monitoring and signal-collecting device approximately every 100 kilometers.

With these "hands" and "eyes," Jiang Cai'er was able to maximize her own advantages.

As the ruler of the moon, Li Xiang will be able to protect the moon and the airspace 300 kilometers above it. From now on, this planet will be his domain, so naturally he will be armed to the teeth.

In addition, there is a lunar space station, serving as an outpost and the first line of defense, orbiting at an altitude of 200 kilometers. This space station is also an aerospace carrier, named Narwhale-2, an improved version of the original Narwhale.

Since research has now begun on how to transform the remains of divine-level alien beasts into giant space carriers, the Cloud Whale version can only be used as a "transport aircraft", "space station" or "training ship".

In terms of weaponry, there are mainly three types: high-powered missiles, laser defense weapons, and high-energy ion cannons.

Missiles go without saying; they're a traditional strength of Country C.

Laser weapons existed before, but after darkness fell and the moon was shrouded in black fog, they were greatly interfered with and almost unusable. But now, the black fog on the lunar surface has been pushed back more than 300 kilometers, and a large number of "Silent Hunter-35" and "Spirit Shield-20" laser defense weapons have been deployed on the moon.

These two laser defense systems are of different power levels. One has a low power, ranging from 300 kilowatts to 5000 kilowatts, and is suitable for killing creatures below the eighth rank. It can select different power levels according to different targets to save energy as much as possible and achieve sustained combat. The other has a high power, ranging from 5000 kilowatts to 3 trillion watts (30000 terawatts), and is adjustable. It is suitable for killing creatures from the eighth to the eighteenth rank, and can even effectively kill or eliminate creatures above the saint rank.

The land-based version of the high-energy particle cannon can kill Saint-level creatures.

Compared to traditional artillery shells and missiles, the main advantage of these weapons is their speed. Whether it's lasers or high-energy particles, the speed at which they are emitted is not much different from the speed of light. High-energy particles may only reach 20 kilometers per second, which is much slower than the speed of light. However, even a beast at the God-King level cannot reach this speed.

In space, lasers travel at the same speed as light. Once these high-tech weapons are locked on, they are virtually impossible to escape from below 300 kilometers in areas free of black fog.

The robot dog has also been improved into an "eight-legged robot spider" that can adapt to all terrains.
