I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World (Web Novel)

April 1st was a day with significant meaning for the lunar colony.

Lu Fan looked up at the magnificent hemispherical building outside the colony, and there was admiration in his eyes.

Power transmission to the Earth hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, in his mind, it was almost impossible to accomplish two months ago. However, at this moment, he didn’t have any doubt that this project, a project that could be described as a miracle in the history of mankind, has been completed in their hands.

The original hexagonal laser generator was wrapped in a giant hemisphere consisting of a hexagonal grid.

These hexagonal grids are made of special materials. Under different conditions, it has variable transparency.

According to the program, only one side of the hexagonal grids is transparent, and the other sides reflect all light. Lasers in different directions are constantly reflected throughout the sphere, and are eventually converged in one direction. Then, they are released at one point and directed at a specific point hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.

This is the mechanism of the entire device.

Under the precise control of the quantum computer, the direction of the beam is precisely controlled by changing the transparency of the hexagonal grid on the spherical surface. After all, this distance takes light even for a full second to travel, any error will be infinitely magnified.

The target that receives the laser is moving relative to the moon all the time, and only the quantum computer with astonishing computing power can take the helm of the project.

“Are you very surprised?” The unshaven He Biao walked to Lu Fan’s side and touched his own head that was about to bald. Then, he grinned. “After a few days, I can return to Earth and I can brag to everybody that the life and death of Earth were under my control for a moment.”

Lu Fan laughed with him. “The colonial supervisor said that there would be no problems even if it is shot on the Earth?”

“It is true,” He Biao also turned his eyes to the giant egg, grinning. “But who cares when I am bragging?”

After hearing the irresponsible speech of his boss, Lu Fan smiled and shook his head.

Suddenly, he realized a problem and frowned.

“What if… another country gives us trouble with this problem?”

He Biao laughed and patted him on the shoulder.

“Then let them give us trouble. This is a national event, something not for the ordinary us to worry about. The sky is falling and there are tall people who will be hit first, let alone those who have already gone to heaven? There are a few days left before we change shifts, if I were you, I wouldn’t be thinking about all this. You might as well think about how you should spend the money you have earned in the past six months when you go back.”

While the two chatted, in the colonial command room, Tang Weijie solemnly ordered the launch.

Within the giant egg, the hexagonal base began to form a dark purple light visible to the naked eye.

There were no specular light beams and there were no fancy effects.

Everyone waited nervously for three seconds.

Three seconds later, a green signal light illuminated, and the command room erupted with cheers and whistles. Even Tang Weijie, who has always been calm, tossed his hat in the air.

Just three seconds ago, or more precisely, exactly a little more than two seconds ago, the spectrometer next to the giant egg received a return light verifying that the laser hit the target. This beam of light that transmitted for just two seconds brought them the news of success.

Half a minute later, Tang Weijie received a call from the ground command center.

Only one sentence was sent through his phone.

“Congratulations to you; congratulations to us; this is a monumental moment.”

Jiang Chen sent his blessing to the governor of the lunar colony. Filled with excitement. he put down the phone, patted Kelvin’s shoulder, and walked out of the command room.

Passing through the corridor, through the front hall, and standing on the lawn outside the ground command center, he could still hear the cheers. Although he did not see it, he could imagine people embracing each other, high-fiving each other, and celebrating the accomplishment with each other.

Then the tensed state began to dissipate. He first smiled and soon began to laugh.

It was finally successful.

The last two months of hard work has not been in vain.

It won’t take long for the high-voltage electricity “shot” from the Moon to connect the grid across the two oceans. After seeing the ultra-low cost of lunar power generation, more and more small and medium-sized countries will abandon nuclear power and thermal power, join in his global power grid plan, and be bundled with the submarine transmission cable forever.

At this moment, Xia Shiyu walked next to him, poked his waist, and interrupted his fantasy.

“Is this it?” With a surreal tone, Xia Shiyu whispered.

Jiang Chen turned and gave Xia Shiyu a big hug. Before her exclaim, he kissed her on the lips and looked at her pretty face. He joked with a grin, “What else? Put a rainbow aurora in the sky?”

A light wave shorter than the ultraviolet wavelength cannot be observed with the naked eye. Even on the space elevator, it would be impossible to see the laser that is coming from the Moon.

Xia Shiyu blushed, and anxiously looked around. After confirming that there was no one else, she relaxed her tense body and poked the tip of Jiang Chen’s nose. “You are such a child.”

Ayesha came over and enviously looked at Xia Shiyu who was picked up by Jiang Chen, and gently pulled on Jiang Chen’s shirt.

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Chen turned his head and smiled at her.

Ayesha did not speak, but the watery sapphire-like pupils spoke for her.

“I also want a hug.”

As Jiang Chen was enjoying the company of the two beauties, the ground command center was also filled with excitement and joy.

After the excitement, Kelvin looked at the three-dimensional image on the holographic screen, and cast a look full of fascination.

The three satellites floating in the geosynchronous orbit formed an isosceles triangle; like a piece of art that combined the beauty of mathematics and physics.

The three uniquely shaped satellites formed the “prisms” that remain relatively static on all three sides to either pass the laser beam or reflect the laser beam on the receiving ring on the outer side of the space elevator.

There, light energy was converted into electrical energy, along the superconductor transmission lines installed outside the space elevator. Then the energy was transferred from the geosynchronous orbit to the ground, or up to Celestial City.

If the space elevator only allowed the world to see the broad opportunities for the starry sky and ignite people’s enthusiasm for investing in the aerospace industry, then this laser from the Moon made everyone “see” the real benefits…

Without any other products and just selling electricity, it could easily allow the lunar colony that burned hundreds of millions every month to achieve profitability.
