Chapter 410 - Monitoring Device (1/2)
10 thousand kilometers up in the sky.
A delta-winged aircraft was cruising through the air at a high velocity.
Its all-glass cockpit had a good field of vision. A clear blue sky, clouds as white as cotton, land as green as emerald, a long, silvery stream… every image that came into sight could be used as a wallpaper.
“A world with nobody is actually so beautiful.”
This wasn’t the first time that Chen Jin had said this. He truly acknowledged what some scientists have said: Human beings are indeed like cancer cells that only unceasingly take and destroy.
If there were no humans, the beauty of nature would be unfathomable.
“Master, beauty is born of sensibility, but the essence of this world is rationality. Nothing is immutable. Only by becoming stronger and grasping more truths can we protect that beauty everlasting,” said Nuwa.
“I’m aware of that.” Chen Jin nodded. “But standing in the shoes of this recovered planet, in any event, it is clear that it would never hope for human beings to live on it, to once again multiply to a population in the billions. How terrifying that would be.”
“So, what are your plans for this world, master? Should it always exist as your personal territory and be kept in this original state?”
“That’s what I figured. It must not be trampled upon a second time. Why don’t we turn it into a ‘paradise’—a paradise that only allows short visits, and no long settlements. It wouldn’t get destroyed again if it were so.”
Chen Jin had a rather selfish idea in his heart. After all, he could not bear for the beauty that he had painstakingly created to be ruined once again.
The city below was gradually drawing near.
At its center stood a tower-like landmark, a building with a height of eleven kilometers that was emitting a beam of green light upwards. At night, it was as beautiful as a lighthouse shining its dazzling gleam over a thousand miles. In fact, the building was indeed a “lighthouse” which acted as guidance under low light conditions. But it was also an anti-gravity propeller that could extend a gravity-free track to transport large amounts of materials to spaceports in the outer sphere. In addition, it was a data communication tower, similar to a cell tower, but with data transmission rates far beyond imagination. Besides, it also had the regional broadcast function which allowed the timely broadcasting of various news. Hence, this building was named the “Central Tower.”
Swiftly, the aircraft landed on a parking platform at the edge of the Central Tower.
Upon disembarking, the magnetic rail elevator stopped right in front of them. Chen Jin went in and the magnetic rail elevator sent him directly to the 100th floor of the Central Tower.
He entered an office hall that spanned an area of 300 square meters.
This was the place from which he controlled everything.
The circular console in front of him was made up of several large, transparent screens. Occasionally, a realistic stereoscopic holographic projection would emerge into the air. There was also a red leather wing chair that was designed in correspondence with each part of Chen Jin’s body. The comfort it provided for him was unparalleled.
“Whoah…” He sat comfortably in his chair.
The handle of the chair on his right automatically rose with a cup of steaming black tea on it. He could reach the cup with just a meager stretch. As his palm was feeling the pleasant warm temperature, he lifted the cup to his mouth, had a gentle sip, and the best-tasting tea ever slid down his throat.
But Chen Jin wasn’t here for tea. There was something that he had to deal with.
“Alice, Nuwa.”
“Yes, master.”
Two figures appeared on the display in front of him, the artificial intelligences Alice and Nuwa.
“How is the Ultimate Neutrino Plan going? Have you successfully manufactured the neutrino that I want?” Chen Jin asked.
“It has succeeded, master,” Alice said. “The most advanced fifth-generation neutrino has acquired success recently and has achieved mass production.”
