Chapter 995 - The Intimacy Before Parting
After a few days of pondering, Lin Lin was still confused about the connection between her and Lin Yi. In her words, it seemed that there was an invisible cord between their brains. When a voice called her, if she responded, she could sense the connection with Lin Yi.
The connection was mysterious. Not only were thoughts shared, but even things that were difficult to describe, such as thinking, knowledge, and experience could be shared through this connection.
In a nutshell, it was like two servers connected in parallel. Because the digitalized human possessed computation power comparable to the quantum computer, Lin Lin would be the host. Lin Yi held the knowledge of “Mechanism of deep brain wave action and nonspecific projection system of cortical thalamus”. Although this knowledge was outside of Lin Lin’s field of research, Lin Lin could “burrow” this knowledge stored in Lin Yi, like burrowing a hard drive, via this connection.
It was hard to describe the feeling. Jiang Chen thought about it himself, if Lin Lin and her 2,000 sisters were put together, it was similar to forming a large “integrated chip supercomputer with biological kernel”.
Lin Lin did not deny this statement, but neither did she agree. She was uncertain herself if it worked the same way on 2,000 people as on one person.
After all, before the war, cloning was the taboo of science. Even if someone conducted experiments in secrecy, the state-level secret would not be accessible by everyone. There was no precedent or reference for them to consult.
Now that the institute was still in the process of construction, Lin Lin’s “sisters” didn’t have a place to stay, so they still remained inside the hibernation chambers and were looked after by professional caregivers. But before they move in, Jiang Chen did a lot of experiments.
For example, the sensing distance between the two.
Jiang Chen tried to let Lin Lin and Lin Yi stand at the two ends of the Fishbone base and attempt to sense the connection with a distance of more than ten kilometers. Lin Lin and Jiang Chen were both surprised that the connection still could exist, even if the connection was weakened by the increase in distance.
Shocked by the magical telepathy, Jiang Chen was also wondering if it is a technology created by “East Asia Heavy Industries”. After all, he did hear novel terms like “mental tree diagram” from that artificial intelligence.
Jiang Chen not for a second believed that they were a proper corporation.
Applying the logic of the modern world, Dr. Lin Minjie was just a poor scholar that owed an astronomical amount of debt. Even if a paper of his was published by the Science Ethics Committee and attracted the attention of big companies, it just doesn’t make sense for him to receive such a high budget.
Money doesn’t grow on trees, even for mega-corporations.
Jiang Chen reflected on this and thought he gave a generous amount of funding to his scientists, but he couldn’t just let them freely spend it. Every project must go through the approval process, and its detailed enough that he knows where every single dollar is spent. He just couldn’t fathom the idea of using the budget to build a fallout Shelter to work toward the glorious destination of “Supreme”. In the end, even using the cells of his daughter to clone 2,000 copies to send them to the future.
As long as the management of East Asia Heavy Industries were not stupid, there was only one possibility. Dr. Lin Minjie was just one of their pawns.
And this company couldn’t be just be a company. The ability to dig a hole inside the economic center of Pan-Asia Cooperation and leave their iron seals on countless air-defense projects in that special era demonstrated political influence and power.
However, Jiang Chen still couldn’t comprehend one thing. These officials and businesspeople all left Earth on the space colonization ship “Zhenghe”. By the time they woke up from the hibernation chambers 500 years later, they would be at a picturesque new world. What would be left on this crumbling planet to long after?
Jiang Chen shook his head and left the matter behind him.
He would have too much time on his hand to worry about a company from before the war. If he was really curious, he could ask Han Junhua.
ds I
Speaking of her, since that time on the airship, she hasn’t treated him “emotionlessly” for a long time. The “Metal Commissioner” was certainly tough, but not strong enough to withstand the “improved slavery chip” created by the slave masters of the wasteland. Though the soul is tough, it can’t stand the slavery chip from the wasteland. With a press of the bottom, he could make her feel whatever emotion he wished… Ahem.
“I have to go back tomorrow.”
Jiang Chen gently kissed Sun Jiao’s lips and collapsed beside her. He didn’t even have the strength to wipe the sweat off of his forehead
Next to her, her sister Xiaorou shrunk into a ball; her messy hair was spread freely on the bed as she was already asleep.
This girl teased him during the day, but Jiang Chen and Sun Jiao worked together to
shouting “sister”, “brother-in-law” to the point where she was losing her voice.
Because of this “punishment”, Jiang Chen was completely exhausted. Only Sun Jiao with insane body attributes and her sister with matching stats could tire him out.
“Can’t you go back just a few days later?” Sun Jiao pouted, turned over and whispered in Jiang Chen’s ear. She was just like a cat seeking for attention as she nibbled on his ear.
“I also want to stay here all the time,” Jiang Chen closed his eyes, “It’s so relaxing here.”
He was being truthful. He originally planned to be a wealthy man in the modern world, but ambition grew. Once it swelled to the point where he couldn’t control it anymore, he lost his opportunity to just be ordinary.
When he learned that a space colonization ship was on its way to his hometown, he had to do something.
“You are just sweet-talking me.” Sun Jiao was still pouting. She obviously did not believe Jiang Chen’s rhetoric.
Who would choose to live a difficult life?
She told Jiang Chen more than once that when Lin Lin invents the ability to travel to the modern world, the first thing she will do is resign as the wife of the general. She will leave this wasteland to enjoy the life of the 21st century.
She was not interested in caring about the daily lives of the survivors. If she could
neighborhood, why be a king in the slums? If it was not to help Jiang Chen and she happened to be free, she wouldn’t have collected so much burden for herself.
Whenever she thought about Jiang Chen leaving her to enjoy the life in the modern world, then tease her constantly with videos and photos, Sun Jiao gritted her teeth and took a bite of Jiang Chen shoulder before sitting on top of Jiang Chen again.
“Hey! Are you a dog… wait, what are you doing?”
“I am not full yet,” Sun Jiao’s eyes narrowed. With a smirk, she put her finger under Jiang Chen’s chin. The same “sadist” vibe used on her sister once again appeared. “Don’t move.”
“Wait, my resilience is not as strong as you, can we continue tomorrow. It’s already past 12, I need to sleep…” Looking at the smirking face approaching him, Jiang Chen didn’t know if he should laugh or cry.
The resilience buff meant that even ten Jiang Chen could not match Sun Jiao. Especially since he had already emptied his load when he was punishing Xiaorou. His legs were already shaking.
“That is not up to you.” The watery pupils turned around, and Xiaorou who woke up was looking curiously in their direction. There was not a trace of tiredness on her face.
“Xiaorou, help me pin him down.”
“Okay, sister.”
Sun Xiaorou smiled and hugged Jiang Chen from behind. She used her arms to hook onto his arms. With eyes that spoke, she looked at Jiang Chen through the reflection in the mirror.
“Brother-in-law, don’t move.”
The back of his head rested on two firm gentlenesses, even if he wanted to resist, he didn’t have the energy anymore.
He could only watch the smirking Sun Jiao move closer and closer to him…
