No matter how many days and moons passed here, the sky always remained the same.
The dim sunlight passed through the gray-yellow radioactive dust and shed unhealthy rays down from above. The only difference was that there was now a dome that isolated Wanghai from the outside world. As long as the nuclear fusion battery exported from the modern world to the apocalypse was not interrupted, then the continuously operating Holy Shield system would continue to shield the city from zombies, mutants, X2 bacteria, and radiation dust.
As he lied on the bed, Jiang Chen took half a minute to adapt to the difference in time and space. He slowly sat up and looked out the window with a slightly complicated expression.
When he heard Lilith tell him that Lin Lin finally achieved results on the task he gave her, he immediately jumped up from his chair and rushed to the apron in Celestial City. The soldiers that followed him were on extreme alert, as they thought an emergency had happened.
In fact, nothing happened, it was just because he was too excited to hear of the news.
After he got off the aerospace plane in Coro City, Jiang Chen boarded the helicopter that was waiting for him and flew to Coconut Island. After he emptied the piled-up containers in the port, he shut himself up in the hut in the middle of the island, sent a message to Xia Shiyu and Ayesha separately as usual, and then travelled across the dimension to the apocalypse.
It was supposed to be an exciting moment.
However, when he laid on this familiar bed, the excitement and emotion in his mind were inexplicably diminished by indescribable anxiety and confusion.
A very realistic question was posed before Jiang Chen.
About the fate of the world.
Indeed, the fate of this world.
After he had inherited the legacy of Gaia civilization, the technological advantages of the apocalypse over the modern world had actually been wiped out long ago. Even if scientists in this world were ahead of the modern world in applications and scientific research thinking, this advantage was not obvious in front of the absolute disadvantage in numbers. Celestial Trade employed more than 200,000 scientific researchers in the modern world, and more than 100,000 people were engaged in the research and development of cutting-edge technology alone. In the apocalypse, the number was only two to three thousand.
If all the people around him, as well as the scientists of this world, could be immigrated to the modern world, and those advanced production lines could be taken away, then the purpose of this world to him seemed to disappear.
To put it simply, he had beat the game.
He had unlocked all the “trophies.” Even if Russia, Europe, South Asia, as well as Africa, which luckily survived the nuclear war, had more treasures worth searching for, it was no longer necessary for him.
After all, he was from that world.
It was four o’clock in the afternoon, and Sun Jiao and Xiaorou were probably still at the General’s Mansion. Naturally, Lin Lin waited for him anxiously at the Lin Institute, ready to tell him the great news. Before he went downstairs, he stopped by Yao Yao’s room.
The door was open, and the little girl sat there on her legs in the middle of a large number of electronic parts. The holographic computer was placed on her knees while she fiddled intently with something.
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but smile when he saw the serious Yao Yao, so he quietly walked in.
When the big hand was gently placed on the fluffy hair, the little girl was startled, her shoulders trembled, like a frightened little rabbit, and she almost threw the holographic computer on her lap away.
Jiang Chen immediately grabbed Yao Yao who had bounced off the ground and hurriedly said.
“Ahem, it’s me.”
“Ah, it’s Brother Jiang Chen.”
After she exclaimed in a low voice and realized that it was Jiang Chen, Yao Yao finally calmed her nerves.
The mist of excitement gradually floated in her eyes, and the thoughts overflowing in her heart flowed out with the reunion. The little girl plunged into his warm embrace and hugged her beloved person tightly. As she felt the gentle touch caress the top of her head, it took a while for her to free her blushed face from Jiang Chen’s embrace, just like a squirrel that ended its hibernation from the harsh winter.
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but feel a little guilty.
He was too occupied in the past while, from the Columbia crisis to the Xin-UA War, he was busy to the point that he did not pay attention to this world at all.
“Sister Sun Jiao and the others are still at the General’s Mansion, do you need Yao Yao to call them back?” She said softly as her big eyes with long eyelashes blinked and she peeked at Jiang Chen from the comfort of his chest.
“No, it’s almost dinner time anyway.” Jiang Chen smiled, and said gently, “Wait for them to come back tonight and then we’ll surprise them.”
“Ah, it’s already this late,” Yao Yao didn’t notice that it was already pretty late, “I’m going to prepare dinner.”
Jiang Chen stroked the fluffy hair and smiled.
“Please.”
“Mhmm! It’s on me.”
Yao Yao snuck out from Jiang Chen’s arms and put on the pair of bunny slippers while she ran out the door. Her energetic look, and the blush on her face because of happiness made Jiang Chen smile.
Suddenly, his mood got a lot better.
After he left the mansion and went through the backyard, he headed to the Lin Institute.
As he followed a sister with an unknown number into the institute, Jiang Chen got on the elevator and came to an empty circular underground test site. Lin Lin stood in the center of the test site and directing her sisters to make the final adjustments to a “door-shaped” instrument.
Lin Lin’s eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Chen appear at the entrance of the elevator. She stuffed the tablet into Lin Yi’s hand and hopped over to him as if she was asking for rewards. Her yelling could be heard even from a far distance.
“I succeeded! Finally succeeded! Inter… Interdimensional travel for living things!”
She was so excited that she accidentally bit her tongue.
“Mhmm, congratulations.”
As he stared at the door with a light blue halo, there was heartfelt joy in his eyes.
He had waited too long for this day.
Now it was finally finished.
“The Gaia civilization’s research accomplishments on neutrinos are far beyond our imagination. Using the physical properties of neutrinos, as long as the door is opened in two worlds at the same time, a stable tunnel can be formed between the two worlds!”
While Lin Lin spoke, she pointed to the door placed in the corner of the room.
“…It is very troublesome to explain in detail. In short, as long as you take that door to the modern world, put in the antimatter energy block, press the switch! The passage from this world to your world can be opened!”
Jiang Chen, who didn’t understand anything about neutrinos, was unfamiliar about the specific principles behind the two doors. However, from Lin Lin’s description of the Gaia civilization, it seemed that she was inspired by the knowledge of the Gaia civilization.
As Jiang Chen listened to Lin Lin’s explanation and while he was excited, a crazy idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
What if… two doors opened in the same world?
