Disaster Simulator, global collapse begins.

"If we really encounter Honkai Beasts, I'll have to be distracted by protecting them."

"They are not only bodyguards, but also translators, nutritionists, maids, drivers, lawyers, doctors..."

Well, actually, Chen Jie also agreed with Celia's view on ordinary people.

In addition, with so many people around, there might be Otto's informants among them, or even Otto himself in disguise.

But a few sarcastic remarks can certainly add some fun to a long flight.

PY's Book Recommendation:

Humans in a pre-collapse civilization: A one-for-thirteen exchange at the start.

Synopsis: Once, he swung his sword, a move he had earned with everything he had.

He saved her, he saved them.

He sacrificed himself.

And now, the original him has met them, who have been reborn.

This time, the story begins in the skies above Vostok-51.

The two falling meteors began their story. (Skirt~)

Chapter 48 Ordinary, Extraordinary, Sublimation, Transcendence

The plane landed.

Fortunately, the family arranged for local transportation in China.

Otherwise, with only Chen Jie and Celia as the two children, it wouldn't be easy for them to go anywhere.

I spent three days exploring this country that wasn't heavily featured in the main storyline.

"It's huge!" Celia exclaimed.

In Europe, cities are only a few hours' drive apart, and this was the first time she had encountered a situation where she needed to take a plane to travel between two different cities in the same country.

"It's just a bit desolate."

It's not much different from the 90s in reality, after all, the historical trajectory is the same, and all the major events that should have happened are the same.

At that time, China had only been open to the world for a few years, and its economy had just begun to recover, showing signs of a potential future.

However, infrastructure was not as developed at that time; roads in many small places were not yet built, and various tourist attractions had not been developed...

After learning about the current situation, Chen Jie lost interest in going out to play.

You can't expect an eight-year-old foreign child to squeeze into a tractor-made tuk-tuk with the locals and bounce around on muddy, potholed roads for two or three hours.

There has been absolutely no development; many of the future famous mountains and rivers are only accessible via narrow paths trodden by locals.

Of course, Chen Jie also dislikes the future model of over-developing and commercializing tourist attractions.

However, every gain has its loss, and the reverse is also true.

The undeveloped and undamaged ecological environment also makes fishing easier.

These are all village fish, never having seen the grand garden before. How could they resist the allure of the dazzling world, with the bait specially prepared by Chen Jie, full of technology and ruthless techniques?

"How can a child like you have such an old man's hobby?" Celia was bored to death, unable to find any enjoyment in fishing.

She could only practice her martial arts on the sidelines, swinging and thrusting in the air, but she was afraid of disturbing the fish, so she dared not make any big movements.

Chen Jie noticed the float was moving, and he began the long process of playing the fish:

"You'll understand when you get older."

People often say "a fish weighs ten pounds of strength," which is not an exaggeration, but fish are indeed much stronger in the water than they are physically heavy, and sometimes even an adult can be pulled into the water.

As a result, his fishing efficiency is not high, and sometimes he even has to cut the fishing line himself.

"What are you pretending to be so mature for, you little brat!" Celia saw that Chen Jie had been pulled off balance by the fish in the water, so she rushed forward and hugged him from behind.

"Don't say those pretentious things until you're not even up to my chest."

She planted her spear into the ground, and with a burst of strength honed through long-term training, she dragged Chen Jie, along with the fishing rod and the big fish, out of the water.

Chen Jie took a picture of the fish and then had his entourage remove the hook and throw it back.

"What are you doing?" Celia was shocked. The fish that she had worked so hard to catch, and who had almost been pulled into the water, was thrown back so easily.

"I just enjoy the process of fishing," Chen Jie said, shrugging.

"If you really want to eat fish, with the wealth of the Shaniat family, you can buy and eat any kind of fish."

Celia drew her lance, cleaned off the dirt, and shook her head with a grin.

"As expected, I still can't understand it."

……

Sitting on an airplane, eating hot pot.

While taking in the magnificent landscapes of China, Chen Jie suddenly had a brilliant idea.

With land prices cheap now, could he buy some land for development?

There's a joke about his past life: twenty years ago, two people both had 100,000 yuan. The first one started a business, and the second one bought a house.

After twenty years of hard work, those who started their own businesses earned a million, barely keeping up with inflation, while those who bought houses and rented them out did nothing, yet the house prices soared to several million.

Admittedly, an economy where those who truly work hard don't reap the rewards of passively collecting rent is definitely unhealthy, but I won't comment further here.

But unfortunately, this really made too much money.

There were so many that even Chen Jie, a guy whose patents could be sold like watermelons, was envious.

He made a decision.

Gradually relocate the Elke Laboratory to China!

He has been remotely directing the overall direction of the research institute's development.

Just as humans are born with the ability to breathe, even while eating, drinking, and relaxing, the memory palace in our minds will still rearrange and combine existing knowledge, giving rise to many new research directions and conjectures.

He only needs to share these inspirations with the others in the institute.

The remaining repetitive experiments, the waiting time, the constant trial and error... these most arduous parts of scientific research are, of course, left to our lovely subordinates.

Some unscrupulous supervisors exploit their research team members, even threatening to withhold graduation certificates based on the quality of the papers they submit...

Chen Jie is different; as a boss, he pays his employees.

So for him, doing research is really a simple thing.

Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.

The second half of that statement is that 1% inspiration is more important than 99% perspiration combined.

They've turned scientific research into a production line.

This kind of operation is typical of old-school capitalists.

He provides 1% inspiration, while his subordinates are responsible for putting in 99% of the effort.

Like ancient craftsmen, they complete all the procedures by themselves, requiring a very long period of learning.

With industrialization, each person is only responsible for a fixed step: some tighten screws, some connect wires. This greatly reduces the learning time for apprentices and increases production speed.

This is undoubtedly progress.

……

Of course, the premise of this kind of streamlined scientific research is that the head of the entire research institute has a sufficiently intelligent mind to ensure that the entire research machine continuously produces useful results.

Otherwise, it would truly become a sweatshop assembly line with little to no technical content.

Chen Jie has this confidence.

A brain of extraordinary caliber, invincible.

The simulator only categorizes creature strength and item quality into four levels.

Level 1: Ordinary, or mortal.

The corresponding strength ranges from a newborn infant to an A-rank Valkyrie.

B-rank can dismantle a tank with bare hands, A-rank can dismantle a Gundam with bare hands, yet this only qualifies as a mortal level.

Simulator, your standards are way too high.

What kind of mortal is this, from Planet Saiyan or Planet Krypton?

Even the Dimensional Key (Afterimage), a spatial item that greatly helped Chen Jie, only ended up as an ordinary quality item.

Level Two, Extraordinary.

It roughly ranges in strength from the most pathetic Herrscher to the ultimate Herrscher.

Unexpectedly, the hourglass that Honkai God casually made has become his only item of extraordinary quality.

No, and his brain right now too!

The third level is sublimation.

Honkai Gods are probably at this level; there is no other information available.

Level 4, Beyond.

Chen Jie could only speculate on this, drawing analogies... perhaps the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and the Sea of ​​Quanta?

Getting back to the main point, a brain of exceptional quality can easily lead the research in a laboratory, not to mention that it also holds the research direction for the next thirty years.

Surely you can't possibly copy the answer incorrectly just by looking at it.

……

Chapter 49 The World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament?!

Any non-mechanized assembly line requires a large number of human workers.

Scientific research is no exception.

Therefore, the factors currently hindering the development of the Elk Institute, besides the long cycle of certain biological experiments that cannot be accelerated, are the issues of personnel and land.

In Europe, both labor and land are ridiculously expensive, so expensive that even Chen Jie, who was extremely frugal, suffered from angina.

Even the landlords didn't have surplus grain, which greatly delayed the development of the entire research institute.

Chen Jie had ten thousand ideas in his mind, but the research institute's expansion couldn't keep up, and all the existing group work was already full, so there was no way to squeeze in any more.

And China is a vast, untapped blue ocean!

Other foreign capital and companies are still hesitant to enter the market.

Chen Jie, on the other hand, had a certain precognitive advantage, knowing that the people on this land were the most hardworking, the most willing to work overtime, the least likely to cause trouble, and the least likely to ask for wages and benefits!

Praise be to China!

"...Therefore, I plan to invest in a new research institute here, initially as a branch, and gradually shift the focus to China later."

"In a country where even roads can't be repaired?!" the subordinate asked in bewilderment.

It seems the prejudice is too great, so great that even imagining a halo can't change the course of thought.

It's also possible that this was an assistant sent by the family who had only been with him for a few days and hadn't been exposed to the aura for long.

"Can those farmers really make good use of those advanced instruments for scientific research?"

Many foreigners really look down on China.

“You only see its present, but I see a much longer future,” Chen Jie shook his head.

"I have high hopes for this ancient country."

“And…” His expression suddenly turned hostile.

"If you don't have the ability to build a nuclear bomb under such difficult conditions, don't mock a group of researchers who are much smarter and more capable than you!"

Although China is backward now, its people are by no means stupid.

"From now on, you will be in charge of the work here in Shenzhou. As the person in charge, use your arrogant and prejudiced eyes to take a good look at this land."

"No!"
