Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 757 - 730: Project

Chen Shouyi felt a bit terrified.

This half-plane was unstable, with space ripples appearing now and then.

Obviously, this kind of mini-universe, compared to a real universe, was as fragile as a newborn baby.

He had a thought.

A powerful will extended endlessly, and an overwhelmingly strong aura erupted.

The asteroid cracked with countless thick fissures, spreading rapidly like a web. Some smaller meteors shattered without resistance, even the space vibrated violently, making one worry that this plane might not withstand the pressure and suddenly collapse.

Soon, Chen Shouyi’s will gradually merged into every corner of this world, having a faint connection with this plane.

"Sure enough, the Divine Country is built on this foundation."

"From leaving an imprint to controlling a world," he paused his actions, the space’s turbulence slowly calmed, and he pondered, "Even though it’s just a mini-universe, as long as no power can break this world, it can suppress all enemy gods who enter."

"Divine Country!"

He whispered softly, dismissing the idea of visiting a Divine Country.

In terms of survival, Barbarian God is obviously much stronger than evil beings like the Destiny Thief. At least a Barbarian God with powerful divine power standing in a Divine Country gave Chen Shouyi no thoughts of fighting.

He didn’t stay here long and left this half-plane.

He looked into the depths of outer space, where it was dark and cold. Occasionally, there were flashes of light like fleeting sparks. Undoubtedly, each light represented a half-plane or Divine Country’s demise.

He felt a slight chill in his heart as he watched.

The turmoil here undoubtedly related to the war of "two terrifying existences."

The will of Tamu was mobilizing power, balancing in a way he couldn’t understand.

Its effect would likely be catastrophic for both Tam World and Earth.

He watched for a while, then looked away, turning to leave without any lingering feelings.

...

Sunday, on the street.

"Why do you seem so preoccupied?" Zhang Xiaoyue asked.

"Do I?" Chen Shouyi turned his head and said.

She was wearing a white T-shirt and a gray-and-white checkered skirt, with an unembellished face that could be both angry and cheerful, looking youthful and charming.

To be honest, Zhang Xiaoyue wasn’t stunningly beautiful.

Not to mention the alluring and sacred aura of the Goddess of Fertility, even the God of Conspiracy, who now appeared in female form, was far superior. Those were beauties not attainable by mortals.

But there’s a kind of love called first love, and a kind of beauty called the beauty in the eyes of a lover.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoyue, in Chen Shouyi’s eyes, was more beautiful than the God of Conspiracy and a little bit more beautiful than the Goddess of Fertility.

"Frowning all the time makes you look ugly!" Zhang Xiaoyue glanced at him, her eyes moist and teased.

Truly speaking nonsense with her eyes open.

Chen Shouyi thought sarcastically.

Were the young ladies, middle-aged women, and elderly women frequently glancing at him all blind?

Or did they have a problem with their aesthetic sense?

"Smiling all day makes you look silly," Chen Shouyi took her hand and laughed.

Zhang Xiaoyue held his hand tightly, feeling sweet inside, she suddenly remembered something: "Oh, I haven’t told you yet, I’ve rented a place outside, but I haven’t stayed there yet. I’m planning to move in a few days."

"Where is it?" Chen Shouyi blurted out.

"I’ll take you there now," Zhang Xiaoyue’s heart couldn’t help but beat fast.

The place was right next to the school, mostly rented by students, and the room was just a single space, looking a bit small.

"I haven’t tidied it up yet, so it’s a bit messy," Zhang Xiaoyue took out her key, opened the door, smoothed her bangs in disguise, forcing herself to stay calm.

"It’s nice," Chen Shouyi said casually, closing the door with his hand, his body slowly approaching.

Zhang Xiaoyue’s face turned red like a cloth, her breathing started to quicken, like a poor little white bunny watching a tiger approach, she pretended to be fierce and snorted:

"What are you looking at? Is there a flower on my face?"

...

When Chen Shouyi was riding his bike back.

There was a melancholy on his face.

Although Zhang Xiaoyue was very conservative in this aspect, without any thoughts in this regard, dawdling and satisfied, but keep going on like this is not a solution.

What if we get married in the future?

Still dawdle?

Then how to have kids?

And without kids, naturally, there won’t be grandchildren.

His excellent genes shouldn’t be cut off at his generation, should they?

Although his control over his own cells had reached a meticulous level and he was confident, even if that... there shouldn’t be any invasion, but everything had its risks, and if something went wrong, it’d be too late to regret.

"Should I try it out in the Virtual Memory World?" he thought secretly.

He glanced at the status panel.

The energy value had accumulated to 64 points, just 17 points away from optimizing and entering self-refinement at 81 points, at most just a month and a half.

He hesitated to waste such precious energy value here.

"Forget it, no need to hurry," Chen Shouyi thought to himself.

......

In the Jingjin area.

Steel, metallurgy, aerospace, electronics, nuclear industry...

This was the largest industrial belt of the Great Xia Country, with the most categories, and it was also the largest heavy industry belt in the world, without exception.

War is the best catalyst for technology. As far as heavy industry is concerned, these five years of arduous war not only did not degrade the heavy industry of the Great Xia Country, but there were earth-shaking changes in both quality and quantity.

Of course, this is partly due to the "assistance" of technology from various countries.

In just one short month, countless research institutes from everywhere collectively relocated here.

On the vast networks of roads, long lines of heavy transport trucks flowed endlessly, dust filled the air, and on both sides were rows of giant factories like giants.

Such a situation had not stopped for a single day since last month.

Even the vacant lands beside the industrial area saw more plants being constructed tirelessly day and night, and new factories were put into use every day.

Many foreign personnel from Xuri, Korea, the European Union, Lucy Country, or the Holy Alliance Country were carefully inspecting the construction.

Undoubtedly, this was the most grand and shocking engineering project mankind had ever undertaken.

Compared to it, the Manhattan Project was just trivial, unworthy of mention.

There was no financial limit.

Resources and power were supplied indefinitely.

Everything gave way to the project.

The number of people involved at the project’s initial stage alone was as high as 20 million, with 3.5 million being scientific researchers, and the number would probably multiply in the later stages.

In fact, this was just one part of the entire enormous project—although the largest and most essential part—aside from this, the European Union and Lucy Country also had their respective allocated tasks.

Under the threat of human survival, humanity was unleashing tremendous power.
