Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"It finally worked."

Jean looked at the giant reactor behind him with a solemn expression. Each reactor contained a large amount of light and shadow substances. Each reactor had a different function. Eventually, the light and shadow substances would be converted into the necessary substances required to form the sun, and then pass through The launch pad takes off.

The sun was able to rise over this land, and Gene quietly stared at the underground reactor room. This idea was proposed more than 80 years ago, and now it has finally been realized.

The last few solar launches have been relatively successful, but all that is seen outside is white light. They stopped generating the sun after the reaction was successful.

But the sun is still uncontrollable. The heat of the reaction, the level of radiation, and the scope of the sun's irradiation are all uncontrollable. The artificial sun has been created, but it is still very early to be completely successful.

Gene has not left this basement for more than a year. He is maintaining everything in the basement because he cannot relax for a moment. These reactors are very dangerous.

Once an explosion occurs, the grassland will be directly covered by light, and everyone will turn into dust in an instant.

At present, Jean and the others have not found an effective mechanism to avoid risks, so Jean cannot leave. He stood up and continued to check the status of each reactor.

The reactor has been in danger many times. The values ​​look normal, but the actual pressure inside the reactor is too high. Many times, it was only after Jean made timely adjustments that the reactor stabilized. It is not an option to continue like this. The people above are still trying to figure it out.

At this time, the door to the basement opened, and Ellie came down with food and drink. She came over with a smile and asked.

"how's it going?"

"no problem."

Ellie pouted.

"I am talking about you."

Gene lit a cigarette and laughed, shaking his head.

"It's okay. I can hold on. I'll go up and call everyone down later. I've discovered some new problems in the past few days. We have to solve the reactor problem."

Ellie hummed and leaned into Gene's arms. The two of them sat at the table. Gene took something and started eating. Today's dish was a large plate of braised pig's trotters, as well as Gene's favorite stinky tofu, and wine. .

Meat has been successfully developed using biological proliferation technology. Although it has a certain impact on the human body, it is just as harmful to the human body as smoking. This impact is not even as harmful as smoking.

"The next step is to promote these meats on the grasslands."

Gene smiled, but Ellie frowned slightly and then said.

"Many people on the grassland don't even have enough to eat."

Jean nodded. Jean knew that the war was still going on, but there was nothing they could do now. The artificial sun had reached a very critical step. They could not go anywhere, and they could not allocate any energy to solve the conflicts in human society. .

"A lot of people died."

Gene hummed. Seeing that Ellie was a little depressed, Gene smiled.

"The future will be better. As long as the sun rises in this land, the darkness will be driven away."

Jean also knows that war is inevitable. As long as human beings develop to a certain stage, big problems will definitely occur, especially in an era of population expansion and capital explosion, war is not far away.

"It's fine."

Ellie hummed, stood up and said.

"I made this specially for you, please remember to eat it all."

Gene nodded and said.

"I'll eat even the bones."

After Ellie left, Gene took a sip of wine and fell into deep thought.

Now it's clear to Jean that if they really do nothing, this land will die, and now the only thing they can do is to hurry up and let the sun rise before humanity destroys itself.

The dark monsters hidden in this world cannot get close for the time being, but humans themselves cannot hold on much longer. The war has destroyed everything humans have built.

After a while, drunkenness set in, and Gene finished eating, and he began to continue checking.

Each reactor will be converted into parts that make up the sun, and then converted into light through the emission tower. Finally, they will be reduced and aggregated together, and violent range nuclear fusion will occur, and the sun will be born.

The whole process took more than 70 years from scratch. Such a thing is beyond the imagination of Gene and others.

After a while, others came down. Li Chu began to check the values ​​of the reactor, while Jean took out some of the situations he had manually recorded. These values ​​were manually detected, and there were indeed some discrepancies in the values.

"Damn it."

Deguna opened the circuit board under a reactor. It was completely burnt inside, and a smell came out. Everyone noticed something was wrong, and everyone started working.

Half an hour later, the burned wiring and circuit boards were repaired, and Gene breathed a sigh of relief.

"We really can't be careless at all. If we are careless, we may be able to survive, but the humans on this land will disappear directly with the white light."

Tang Rao said and Jean nodded.

"I will pay attention next time. If I find anything abnormal, I will check the equipment first."

Gu Yi looked at the values ​​and said worriedly.

"At present, we have no way to prevent dangerous accidents in the reactor. We have used many methods and found that it still doesn't work. For example, we put the reactors in independent underground rooms and separate them. But this approach will make the inspection difficult. It is extremely complicated, and when the sun is launching, if the response speed is slow somewhere, it is likely to cause a launch accident."

Li Chu smiled.

"How about I build a few robots to do the work?"

Rose said.

"Don't be ridiculous, robot. If anything goes wrong, this place will be completely ruined. Humanity may be truly extinct, physically exterminated by us."

Deguna opened the control cabin under another reactor. As expected, the situation inside was not very good, so everyone could only get busy.

"Such repeated damage is not the answer. We have to find a way to solve it."

As Witte spoke, Gene fell into deep thought. Here he also thought of many methods based on the actual situation, but these methods must be practiced before they can be known.

"We will hold a meeting on the spot to see what other methods can be used to solve the problem of circuits being overloaded and burned out."

Deguna suggested, Li Chu sorted out the problem, and soon everyone sat together and began to discuss countermeasures.

Several solutions were finally determined. They can only test them in a small reactor outside now, and then they can apply them in a real reactor after they are stable. After all, if there is a problem with these solutions, it will be over if a problem occurs here.

"The situation outside the grassland is very bad now. We must hurry up and let the sun rise as soon as possible and run stably. Only in this way can human beings continue to exist."

Li Chu said, and everyone nodded, but there was always a hint of worry on Ai Li's face.

Gene laughed.

"Don't worry, it should be possible. I've actually tried to do some things. Although some of them failed, some things have been successful."

Deguna was startled and said.

"You bastard didn't even inform us. You made a plan here in private, and you even used a real reactor to experiment."

Jean laughed. After everyone joked for a while, they left, leaving Jean alone. He looked at the reactor group quietly and could only continue to patrol.

3pm

In a small town, a battle had just ended, and a large number of people were snatching something from the corpses. They were all refugees living in the town. There were hundreds of corpses on the ground, and many of them had just died.

One of the men yelled angrily.

"It's all because of you, because of you that the war broke out."

Monica coldly took away some supplies that were enough for her to live for a few months, a big bag full, and then planned to leave. At this time, there were curses all around.

The situation is now a little more stable, but small-scale wars are still continuing. Many people have had enough and can no longer live without enough to eat every day.

The eight major families have temporarily made peace. After the destruction of one of the former major families, the situation stabilized, and then people began to trace the origin of the war.

Through some data records, the source of the war was finally found. The war was laid when Monica started to go crazy. After the original Special Investigation Bureau was destroyed, the families began to make money crazily and unscrupulously, and eventually the fragile system collapsed.

Most people believed this conclusion. The war came about step by step. Monica had no objection. She walked on this land as always and killed anyone she saw who was unhappy.

There were curses all around, and Monica sneered.

"court death."

Without any hesitation, Monica directly killed the shouting people, and then no one dared to say anything. After Monica left, some relatives of the deceased began to cry.

Everyone hates Monica because she allowed the Special Administration to be completely destroyed, and finally the war swept across the entire grassland so quickly.

The war has destroyed everything, and the territories of the eight major families have been shrinking, with only one-third of what they were at their peak.

Except for the Angus family, civil strife broke out in the other seven major families, the most serious of which was the Hillman family.

The Hillman family now only has 7 towns left. A battle for succession broke out within their family, and the foundation of the entire family was destroyed in just a few months.

With the collapse of the big family, more and more people have realized the stupidity of war, but many people can no longer eat and may starve to death at any time. In order to continue to survive, they have to take up weapons and steal weapons from others. to snatch supplies.

Many elderly people miss the era more than ten years ago. It seems like it was just yesterday, but now everything has become dilapidated.

At this time, an old man refused the food given to him by the child. He had been hungry for several days.

"You can keep it. I'm sick to begin with. It doesn't matter whether I eat or not."

The old man closed his eyes, and several people in his family stopped trying to persuade him. Many old people would choose this way to end their lives slowly, because it would be extremely painful for them to continue living.

Someone once tried to establish farmland in a small area, but before the fields could be harvested, some exiles rushed in and robbed everything, even the seeds, and ate them directly.

Many people have become more and more crazy, because they don't know when they will fall. It is impossible to get to the territory of a big family that still has stability. Many people simply don't care and just eat every day. All you need is a little entertainment when you're full and full.

No one wants to cooperate because many people have been condemned and humans will do anything to survive.

Many people are praying that the big families can clean up the mess, but it is obviously impossible. There are still hundreds of large and small families on the grassland. Many families can no longer take care of themselves, so naturally they cannot take care of outsiders. .

Monica was sitting on a big rock, eating, and some people could be vaguely seen around her.

Some people came over and begged for food. Monica threw some to them casually, and these people took the food and ran away.

Some people showed hostility, but Monica killed them without any hesitation.

Monica's physical condition was still very good and she didn't have any pain. At this time, a short and dying child crawled over not far away.

Monica took a look and saw that this child had distorted facial features and different sizes of hands and feet. He was a deformed child.

Monica threw him some food, and the child took it and ate it. After a while, the child regained his strength, and he sat next to Monica. Monica looked at the child with cold eyes.

"What, do you want to take more food?"

The child shook his head.

"Thanks."

It sounded awkward, but it shocked Monica, the first child to thank her.

"What's your name, kid?"

"Fry."

Monica asked, laughing.

"Where are your parents?"

Frye said.

"died."

Monica stood up and carried her bag. Frye did not follow him, but stayed where he was. At this time, Monica stopped.

"Fry, if you want to live, you can come with me."

Frye asked with some differences.

"May I?"

Seeing Monica nod, Fry stood up and limped over.

This was the first time Frye felt kindness after his parents died. Both parents were deformed, so Frye was a deformed person from birth. They could only do the most tiring and dirty work until the war broke out and his parents were forced to work. The battlefield has never come back since.

Frye walked quickly, he tried very hard, but just couldn't walk fast. Monica walked slowly, waiting for Frye.

Fry finally catches up, and Monica brings out some more food, but Fry refuses.

"Keep some, it's not easy to have something to eat."

Monica still put the food into Frye's hand.

"Don't worry, you won't starve if you follow me."

Frye nodded, his smile looked a little scary, but it was extremely sincere. Monica put a hand on Frye's head and said with a smile.

"My name is Monica."
