Chapter 993 The Good Stuff From the Sea
Clones certainly exist on the wasteland, but their presence is not welcomed. Especially for the clones “produced” from the fallout shelters; they served as toys. While the phenomenon changed when NAC took office, but people’s natural discrimination against these unnatural born lives could not simply be changed with a decree.
The best case scenario was to separate Lin Lin’s sisters from the survivors and have them taken care of by professional caregivers.
Sun Jiao’s proposal received unconditional support from Lin Lin.
Building a research institute behind the mansion was a compromise. They didn’t live too far away but there was no need to see them every day. Thinking from Lin Lin’s perspective, it would be odd if she saw someone who looked exactly like her every day, Jiang Chen didn’t think he could stand the idea.
In the end, Jiang Chen adopted Sun Jiao’s proposal. The next day, he went to the logistics department to see Lu Huasheng. The decision was to remove the old warehouse behind the mansion and build a new semi-enclosed research institute on the existing foundation that accommodates 2,000 people.
Immediately afterward, Jiang Chen found Wang Qing and ordered her to recruit a group of trustworthy female employees from the Fishbone base or the Sixth Street. The best candidates would be people born in fallout shelters with experience in nursing or caregiving. Jiang Chen ordered them to be on standby in Hongcheng to take home number 0002-2000 Lin Lins from Fallout Shelter T7.
Jiang Chen trusted Wang Qin’s attention to details.
He couldn’t follow every step of this task since, after a few days, he must go back to the modern world to Moscow.
After repeatedly cautioning her on the important details, Jiang Chen left the community center and headed to Jiang Lin’s Aerospace Science and Technology Institute.
When Jiang Chen arrived at the Aerospace Science and Technology Institute, Jiang Lin was out of the office. After speaking with his assistant, he learned that the chief engineer who loved to get hands-on with all projects went to participate in the manufacturing process.
“I’m going to take a look at the warehouse in a bit. This is a couple of boxes of tea as a gift for him.” Jiang Chen handed the bag to his assistant.
While these luxuries were easily accessible to Jiang Chen, it was not so easy for the survivors on the wasteland.
After all, technology was not the solution to everything, especially the luxury goods cultivated by traditional means. Even before the war, natural and pollution-free goods could not be easily purchased.
The assistant quickly took over the bag in Jiang Chen’s hand and expressed his gratitude for his boss. It was not because of the value of the goods, but because it was a gift from the general.
“Sorry for troubling you.”
Jiang Chen smiled and waved his hand and said with ease.
“No problem, it’s on the way.”
Since he didn’t need anything in life anymore, whenever he saw something interesting in the modern world that he couldn’t use, he would purchase the goods and toss them into the storage dimension. Then he would gift them in the apocalypse. While it was a small gesture for him, his subordinates often treated it as a prestigious reward.
After leaving the office, Jiang Chen walked to the warehouse behind the Aerospace Science and Technology Institute.
Different from Celestial Trade in the modern world, the Aerospace Science and Technology Institute was the research institution with the lowest security in Fishbone base. It didn’t even have a lock on the door and anyone could walk in and out… although rarely anyone visited this place.
The difference made sense. Space technology was probably the least valuable technology on this wasteland. All space technology from the 22nd century onwards was based on the development of space elevators. By the current state, it was impractical to build a space elevator on the wasteland.
Including the NAC, most people regarded this institute as a personal hobby of the general, just like the department that specializes in game development, no one really held an optimistic view on the development of space technology. If the chief designer Jiang Lin didn’t occasionally participate in the development of kinetic skeleton technology, the institute’s presence would be completely non-existent.
Jiang Chen was also aware of this issue, but he didn’t intervene.
