Chapter 491: Garden of Eden Initialize

Translator: _Min_Editor: Rundi

The arm is not powerful enough? Switch to a mechanical arm. Giving birth is too slow? Raise it in a nutrient chamber. Reaching consensus is impossible in a meeting? Connect everyone's thoughts together. The brain could explode? Use a chip to replace the brain.

When every part of the human could be replaced, the only thing that can represent the human was its consciousness. And when consciousness could be replicated and mass produced, only efficiency would remain in the world, and the purpose of efficiency would be survival.

And the purpose of survival is what then?

…

Lin Chaoen chose to self-destruct along with 71 backup bodies in the hibernation chambers.

Perhaps he realized something in the end. When he made a choice, he was very calm; without any longing for this world.

To his choice, Jiang Chen could only lower his gun and didn't ask him to stay.

Jiang Chen surrounded the crying Lin Lin in his arms. He didn't know how to comfort her as he whispered something in her ear before carrying her and leaving the now silent fallout shelter.

Jiang Chen instructed the First Division soldiers to take away the quantum computer and other equipment from the fallout shelter. As to the eighty hibernation chambers and the vial, after asking for Lin Lin's opinion, he left them underground.

Because Doctor Lin Minjie passed away, the fallout shelter lost its sole controller, and its functionality came to a halt. The door of the fallout shelter could no longer be closed. To prevent people disturbing his long rest, Jiang Chen gifted the last grace.

Five hundred kilograms of explosives collapsed the entire tunnel and buried the fallout shelter 3000 meters underground.

Although the civilization was never born, it was still the grave of a civilization. It deserved the last tribute.

It was supreme but was never meant to be accepted by the majority.

He was a great scientist. This was without a doubt.

Inside the Lin Fallout Shelter, the NAC obtained an experimental level quantum computer which made the scientists in Fallout Shelter 027 ecstatic. The crowded quantum computer was finally freed from working over capacity which brought a significant bottleneck to NAC's research efficiency.

The research paper on wrap paper was given to Jiang Lin as he had been keen on this area of research. If the one hundred page paper could bring him some inspiration, then it would be a great contribution to the entire NAC… no, to the entire earth's mankind.

If the Natural Selection will arrive on Earth, then humans with wrap engine would have a fighting chance. If they can't win, they could still escape.

Of course, if possible, Jiang Chen still hoped he could solve the problem.

Regardless, the modern world is his home.

…

Northwest of Shenxiang, at the intersection of Taifu River and Dianshan Lake.

In a place one kilometer away from the lake, ten trucks parked on the cracked rural roads. Slaves hauled beams of steel to the barren land under the direction of the engineer with a blueprint; they inserted the steel beam into the corresponding location.

The steels formed into a circle several kilometers in diameter with excavators working inside the circular area from the middle. They moved the chunks of soil onto the truck to the empty ground two kilometers out.

The middle of the circle was paved with concrete. A concrete circular pole stood in the middle with a diameter of five meters. The pole connected to the steel beams like a wheel bearing extended to the edge. At the same time, the bottom of the pole was installed with water outlets and a drainage pipe with graphite filter membrane. The edge of the bearing connected the water treatment plant's pipe.

It was like a giant grinding disc.

The soil moved by truck were all dumped there and mixed with fresh water transported from the automated water treatment plant a few kilometers out.

Just yesterday, the Hunter Division cleared out the Bug Vehicle nest in the water treatment plant and brought the plant under NAC control. Although the nuclear fusion battery stored inside could sustain water treatment for two years, it was still a problem to desert the water treatment plant. The construction of the Garden of Eden required a large amount of fresh water, and the fresh water will be supplied by newly built pipelines.
