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.
While salvaging usable materials from the wreckage, the team faced another critical challenge—extracting data that Kronos had accumulated about Earth over hundreds of years. Unfortunately, upon inspecting the damaged devices, it became apparent that not only were they broken, but someone had also tampered with and erased the stored data.
"That dammed Kronos!!" Klea expressed her annoyance.
Captain Terrador suggested that Emery should make a report to magus alliance and directly request the data from Kronos, but Emery understood the complexities involved. Even if the Kronos agreed, they would likely erase any information that important enough to help Earth magus or might pose any threat to their factions. Amidst this frustration, Via offered to attempt data restoration, but the artificial being needed a few days to complete the task.
"Thanks, give it your best," Emery acknowledged.
With the moon's landscape fully surveyed, Master Borin initiated the work of designing and planning the base. He turned to Emery, asking, "Tell me what kind of base do you need?"
As Emery detailed his expectations for the base, he envisioned a medium-sized facility capable of accommodating 100 personnel. The primary focus was on a high-grade defense system, sturdy enough to withstand an assault led by a grand magus. Additionally, Emery emphasized the need for an advanced radar system to ensure early detection of any potential threats approaching the planet or to detect any high level activity down on Earth.

In the midst of the design phase, Master Borin, drawing on his extensive experience, proposed a more comprehensive plan. Given the circumstances of Earth being the lower realm and having much limitation, he suggested creating a larger base. This expanded vision included facilities for training, development modules for crafting or repairing equipment, and an expansion possibility when they might obtained a permit for their own teleportation gate.
Emery turned to Klea and a concern lingered about the potential consequences if they were to lose the duel, such an expensive base might fall into the hands of their opponents. However, Emery declared that defeat was not an option. Fueled by determination, Klea gives her support and agreed to adopt the more ambitious design.
"That's great to hear!" Master Borin exclaimed, his enthusiasm undiminished, ready to embark on the journey of bringing their collective vision to life.
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.
