Chapter 1934 Moon Base
?In the unforgiving environment of space, the limitations of most crescent moon magus became evident. The average time they could spend exposed to the harsh conditions was approximately half an hour, and those of higher realms could only extend this to a few hours. Beyond this timeframe, they required special suits or items to endure the freezing and pressurized conditions of space.
Foreseeing the challenging conditions of space exploration, Emery came prepared with half a dozen specialized suits designed for extended exposure. Mindful of the others, he equipped those without suits with [Space Walking] potions to ensure their safety and longevity in the harsh environment.
Their first task amidst the remnants of the Kronos Moon Base was salvaging any items or materials that could still be utilized. The group meticulously combed through the wreckage, facing the unforgiving vacuum of space. However, as they delved deeper, it became painfully apparent that the extent of the damage surpassed their initial assessments.
Witnessing the dismal state of the Kronos Moon Base, Master Borin couldn't help but frown, expressing his disdain, "What a mess! Which bastard dares to do these things!"
Klea, with a cheeky smile, playfully pointed at Emery, revealing the true culprit. Master Borin's expression shifted 180 degrees as he commented, "This is an Excellent job! I can tell that this old junk deserves to be destroyed!"
Master Borin had brought an item—a power core capable of restoring energy to the area. However, the expertise of Klea was still required to set up a protective formation. Spending an hour collaborating, they successfully erected a sufficient barrier, allowing them to commence the challenging task of rebuilding the Kronos Moon Base.
Master Borin enthusiastically started his design, meticulously listing the devices and materials required for the monumental task. The dwarf inventor presented his own special design, an advanced weaponry systems that would be suitable for Earth's defense.
Emery keenly observed that Master Borin had highlighted the need for a substantial amount of Dark Reunite, a lightweight tier 5 material. This emphasis suggested the dwarf master's intention to custom-make a significant portion of the base using high-grade materials. Furthermore, he outlined his plan to involve a dozen of his trusted crew members to contribute to the construction efforts.
As the list continued to grow, Emery couldn't help but feel a twinge of anxiety. He asked Via to create an estimated cost, and the artificial life form provided a figure surpassing 30 million spirit stones. This estimate did not even include the expenses for necessary shield barriers, and labor costs.
Seeing Emery's reactions, the dwarf reassured him, saying, "Don't worry, I have a good amount of materials kept in store. Considering you as my life savior, please, I will cover all the labor costs."
With the master blacksmith's insistence, Via reevaluated the numbers and came up with a revised estimate of 10 million, excluding the defense barrier, which could incur an additional cost of 5 to 10 million.
"I need about three to four months to complete this," the dwarf stated. For the initial payment, they agreed on providing him with 5 million to start and another 5 million the following month. With these agreements in place, they could commence the construction right away.
"Don't worry, trust me; this will become a masterpiece," the dwarf master assured them with confidence.
Before leaving the dwarf to commence his work, Emery presented another request to Master Borin. He took out the Tier 7 Dragonite metal, expressing his hope that the skilled inventor could devise something remarkable with it. Upon seeing the item and understanding Emery's needs, Master Borin let out a menacing laugh, signifying that he had the perfect idea in mind.
