Reborn Before the Apocalypse: My Backing is the Nation

Chapter 173 Charge! Charge! Charge!
Jiang Yang knew that the current Giant Spirit 4 rocket could send about 100 tons of mass into the Earth-Moon transfer orbit in a single launch.

The original manned mission to Mars was based on the Tormentor IV rocket.

This rocket is a staggering 133 meters tall, equivalent to a 44-story building. When fully fueled, its total mass can reach an unprecedented 4200 tons.

From any perspective, it truly deserves the title of the king of rockets in human history.

Correspondingly, it is extremely expensive to build and its process is very precise and complex.

Even with the massive development of the space industry in the world today, we don't have many of these rockets in reserve.

The number 5200 brought all the attendees to a standstill.

Jiang Yang subconsciously looked at Chen Yusheng.

During the first apocalypse, it was under Chen Yusheng's organization that the human world accomplished the industrial miracle of manufacturing 292 Giant Spirit II rockets in five days.

now……

As if sensing his companions' questions, Chen Yusheng shook his head: "This time, I'm afraid we won't be able to replicate the miracle from last time."

The Torium IV rocket was too big and too heavy, and its precision and complexity significantly exceeded those of the original Torium II rocket.

Even if we use the same method as before, without testing and debugging, and even if the success rate is 10%, we would still need to manufacture a full 5.2 Giant God IVs to complete this transport mission.

5.2... Impossible, absolutely impossible. No matter how great our human engineering capabilities are, we could never accomplish this task.

Although he said it was impossible, Jiang Yang clearly noticed that Chen Yusheng's face was not serious, as if he had already made up his mind.

“In this life, we don’t need to carry out our mission in such a simplistic and brutal way. We have better alternatives.”

The attendees all breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be good if there were alternatives.

Jiang Yang's attention was once again focused on the expert in front of him who was explaining the Moon City plan.

"According to the plan, lunar soil will be used as the main building material for Moon City."

We will transport lunar soil brick-making equipment from Earth to the site, collect large quantities of lunar soil to manufacture bricks for building the main structure of the lunar city, radiation shielding layers, etc., which will save a lot of building materials.
Lunar soil and lunar rocks contain relatively abundant hydrates. During the brick-making process, we will separate these waters to support the subsequent use of the Moon City.

Three thorium-based molten salt nuclear fission power plants, each with a capacity of 30MW, will be built within the Moon City, serving as backups for each other. Waste heat can be used to support the base's heating system.

......"

Having roughly understood the construction plan for the future Moon City and knowing the kind of environment they would be working in, the Hibernation Team focused their attention on reviewing the list of personnel to be stationed in the Moon City.

Both the World Government and the Hibernator team clearly knew that scientists must be the primary choice for personnel in Moon City.

The primary purpose of Moon City was to provide a sanctuary for these scientists, allowing them to conduct comprehensive observations and research on the sun and Earth after the apocalypse, in order to find ways to combat it.

Of course, if it is ultimately proven that the apocalypse cannot be resisted and the choice is made to continue the flame and rebuild civilization, these scientists will also become the scientific inheritors of the "new generation" of humanity.

This means that not only do we need a large number of scientists, but we also need to cover all disciplines.

Modern science is a vast system with numerous branches. It is impossible to cover all disciplines with only 8000 people. Therefore, it is necessary to make choices and select scholars with a broad range of research interests.

To the surprise of the hibernating team once again, the researchers did not seem too enthusiastic about being selected to go to Moon City. They had a more fatalistic attitude, saying they would go if they were selected, but it didn't matter if they weren't.

People had initially thought these spots would be highly sought after. After all, being selected for Moon City meant having a chance to survive after the apocalypse.

After further investigation, Jiang Yang discovered that the reason for this situation was quite simple.

Even if they manage to escape the apocalypse in Moon City, the chosen ones will still have to shoulder arduous tasks in a hopeless situation.

Even if the Fire Seed Project is activated, we don't know how much pain and torment will exist in the process of rebuilding human civilization, or how much mental pressure will be put on us.

Compared to that... is dying cleanly and decisively in the apocalypse really that hard to accept?
If I'm chosen, then I'll work hard and give it my all for human civilization. If I'm not chosen, it means there are better candidates, so let them fight for them.

Faced with this situation, Jiang Yang sighed inwardly.

"That's good, that's good too."

At least this way, external interference will be minimized during the personnel selection process, and we can select the most suitable candidates entirely based on our standards.

Under these circumstances, the first batch of 100,000 names was submitted, which included experts and scholars from various disciplines, engineers and technical experts from various industrial sectors.

Jiang Yang and his colleagues from the Hibernation Team then began the final selection process.

Outside the hibernation base, the World Government once again issued a mobilization proclamation to all people worldwide.

This time, the world government finally decided to reveal some information about the impending apocalypse, but to conceal key details such as the timing and form of the event.

In this way, we can ensure that the situation is stable and controllable, and mobilize the power of the entire human world to the maximum extent, providing a foundation for the Lunar City Project, the Mantle Project, and the Lunar Ark Project.

"...Our scientists have discovered some signs that suggest the Reaper civilization is very likely preparing to launch another invasion against us."

To ensure the continuation of civilization and our continued existence on this blue planet, the World Government has decided to impose martial law globally, effective immediately, and simultaneously launch Project Lunar City and Project Mantle…

......"

The entire human world began to boil at this moment.

The peace and tranquility of the past were abruptly shattered at this moment. A somber and tense atmosphere enveloped the entire Earth.

Looking at his compatriots whose lives had been completely transformed under the organization of the World Government, Jiang Yang seemed to see a picture.

A lone knight stood on the earth.

No comrades, no allies, no reinforcements.

There was only one person, one horse, and the sword in their hand.

The enemy ahead was as large as a mountain, and its strength was beyond the limits of human imagination.

The knight raised his sword high, and then... charged!
No matter how weak you are, charge!
No matter how powerful the enemy is, charge!
rush!rush!rush!
