My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

Chapter 635: Chapter 380: Jiang Cai’Er’s Vision

It was actually quite convenient for Luo Feifei to return for a visit, but she worried it would pull her out of the mysterious, metaphysical state she was in.

When it came to Cultivation, one’s state of mind was often crucial. Once broken, it could take a great deal of time to re-enter.

Luo Feifei wanted to help Li Xiang as soon as possible, so she seized every available moment for her Cultivation.

During this time, a few Divine Tier Exotic Beasts wandering through space arrived at Ceres, hoping to seize the opportunity for themselves. However, the moment they delved into the planet’s interior—especially as they passed through its internal ocean—they were annihilated by a mysterious will.

This will, of course, belonged to Luo Feifei.

Although she hadn’t completely achieved Fusion with Ceres, her Refinement progress was already over 80%. Combined with her strength at the Peak of Divine Tier, which far surpassed ordinary Divine Tiers, and her status as a Water-Ice Dual Element Extraordinary Being, she had complete mastery over Ceres’s internal oceans.

When the invading Divine Tier Exotic Beasts entered the planet’s internal oceans, the disparity in their power was at its greatest, allowing Luo Feifei to dispatch them with ease.

’I’ll leave these Divine Tier carcasses for Brother Xiang.’ Luo Feifei knew that Earth now had Stellar Mother Ships converted from the remains of Divine Tier Exotic Beasts, and it seemed they were all the masterwork of Jiang Cai’er.

Even though she and Jiang Cai’er had never gotten along, and had only met face-to-face a handful of times, she still held immense admiration for Jiang Cai’er’s technological brilliance.

Back on Earth, with Jiang Cai’er’s resources, she had, of course, long known about Luo Feifei’s return.

Luo Feifei might be at the Peak of Divine Tier and excellent at hiding her presence, but her mother was just an ordinary person. She couldn’t resist chatting, and when the topic came up, it was overheard by robotic dogs and the like.

Besides, after Luo Feifei returned, she stayed with her mother for a few days. During that time, her mother went out to buy large quantities of groceries almost daily. Based on the type and amount of food, one could easily deduce that they had a guest.

There were certain foods her mother normally never ate. She only bought them to cook specially for her returned daughter.

But since Li Xiang didn’t mention it, Jiang Cai’er played dumb and didn’t ask.

’So she’s back. Why is she still hiding... It’s not like one more makes a difference...’ Jiang Cai’er shook her head slightly. She was now the matriarch of their world, her position secure, so she wasn’t particularly bothered by such matters.

It was mainly that she was older now. This was the fifth year of the Apocalypse; she was already thirty-two and had three children. Besides, Luo Feifei had rendered great service to Earth in the past. Venturing into the outer regions all alone... who knew what hardships she had endured to make it back alive. Sometimes when Jiang Cai’er thought about it, she felt that Luo Feifei had had it rough.

As for Li Xiang’s other lovers, and those illegitimate children in France, she had naturally found out long ago with her all-seeing, all-pervasive surveillance network.

It was just that those women knew their place and never caused any trouble. Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, and Lei Xiaohui, in particular, were on quite good terms with her. When she was recovering after childbirth, the three of them—San Niu—had come and taken care of her with utmost dedication. So Jiang Cai’er had just let things be, and they had all coexisted peacefully.

’Am I really turning into a heartless Digital Life? To be so detached about these things now?’ Jiang Cai’er found herself momentarily lost in thought.

But she quickly shook her head. ’No, definitely not,’ she affirmed.

’Throughout history, there have only been cases of Digital Life evolving to develop human emotions. Who has ever heard of a human transforming into a Digital Life and completely losing their humanity?’

’It’s impossible. At most, my human emotions have just faded a little.’

Li Xiang was a hands-off leader, only participating in major strategic planning. Just as the rumors on the foreign web suggested, she was the true power behind the throne, with an endless number of tasks to manage daily. As such, Jiang Cai’er didn’t waste much energy on personal matters.

Currently, the nation’s 72 Underground Cities—plus Los Santos, Guanghan City, and Jade Rabbit City, as well as several other unmanned bases on the Moon (staffed only by robots and robotic arms)—housed a total of 288 Quantum Computer production lines. They operated twenty-four hours a day, constantly mass-producing advanced Quantum Computers.

City No. 03, serving as the main base of operations, already had numerous production lines, more than any of the other Underground Cities.

However, Quantum Computers were only one part of the equation; controllable nuclear fusion power plants and Nuclear Fuel Cells were also critically important.

This complementary energy infrastructure wasn’t just for her Quantum Computers; it was needed in many other areas as well. Therefore, Jiang Cai’er planned to build several more nuclear fusion power plants and expand the Nuclear Fuel Cell production lines.

At the same time, the conversion of several new Divine Remains-level Stellar Carriers had already begun. These were more advanced than the first, the Profound Nether, and were equipped with superior detection technology, Invisibility systems, Spiritual Shields, and weaponry.

In the area of personal armament, they had also developed a powerful Electric Pulse Gun, which was essentially a miniaturized Laser Weapon with impressive destructive power.

Laser Weapons had existed before, but they were bulky and had long charge times, usually being Land-Based or ship-mounted. Now, a handheld version had been developed, capable of effectively wounding or killing Exotic Beasts from Tier Six to Tier Fifteen.

However, this personal version was still not powerful enough to deal with Exotic Beasts above Tier Fifteen and required further upgrades.

The new Divine Remains-level Stellar Carriers, just like the Profound Nether, were naturally equipped with mobile onboard computing centers. Each of these mobile Supercomputing Centers was composed of ten thousand Quantum Computers.

Compared to the stationary Earth Calculation Centers, Jiang Cai’er much preferred these onboard versions and the high-speed Computing Satellites scattered throughout the Moon’s orbit. They offered far greater security.
