Li Rang didn't tell Chu Yanran the meaning of this "value" in the end.

Chu Yanran also didn't understand her special value in the world at all.

However, when she left Buenos Aires, Chu Yanran left with hope, and she slowly realized that the value of her return to Earth is not to find the truth of all this, but to return to all these trajectories, promote the smooth development of the "Flint Project", and try to fill that part of the gap as much as possible.

……

However, after returning to the first central axis, Chu Yanran still did not sign the "final agreement", in her own words.

"I don't want to know too much...... If you really need me, give me a lab, yes, the kind where you can see the sunrise. ”

……

Fu Yihan did not force Chu Yanran, she immediately conveyed Chu Yanran's meaning to the organization.

And so in January 2077, a laboratory facing the sea with a view of the sunrise was built, and it was located in the center of the First Central Axis Observatory.

……

The new laboratory was built exactly according to Chu Yanran's intentions, but when the laboratory was actually built, Fu Yihan felt that it was not a laboratory at all, but more like a nest to enjoy life.

And Chu Yanran also bought a lot of books, and planted flowers and plants in the laboratory, if it weren't for the fact that there were a few devices in the place where he could see the sunrise, Fu Yihan really suspected that Chu Yanran was preparing to enjoy his "old age" here.

"You're in a much better environment here than that." Fu Yihan sighed.

Chu Yanran was dressed like a gardener today, and she was holding a small shovel and mixing the soil and water in the box.

Seeing this scene, Fu Yihan was surprised and said, "Where did you get so much mud?" ”

Chu Yanran said: "Ah Yu helped me bring it from my hometown, and after filtering, there will be no pollutants." ”

That's not what Fu Yihan is worried about, it's just that soilless cultivation has long been very mature now, and Chu Yanran actually likes to tinker with this kind of thing, which makes Fu Yihan a little puzzled.

But who can say what I like?

"Okay, here's the report you want, I'll put it on the table for you, you can take a look at it." With that, Fu Yihan left.

"Huh? Don't you sit? Chu Yanran glanced at the word "top secret" on the cover of the report, and was very grateful in her heart.

"No, there's a lot of work to be done for me." Fu Yihan waved his hand and left this "warm nest".

After the footsteps faded away, Chu Yanran took off her gloves, picked up the report and sat down by the window.

When I opened the bag of the report, I found not crystal plates, but a dozen paper materials and some photographs, which were rare in this era.

Chu Yanran took out all the contents of the bag and put the paper materials aside, looking at the photos first.

There are fifteen photographs, five of which are very blurry, and three are bird's-eye views.

And the subject of the photo is the same, which is Mt. Fuji in Tokyo, Japan.

It's just that Mt. Fuji in the photo is no longer as quiet and beautiful as the public thought of it in the past, it has become hideous and terrifying, magma is surging, volcanic ash is soaring into the sky, and the world has become like the end of the world.

……

Although Chu Yanran was not at the scene, from the panicked faces seen in the photos, Chu Yanran could also deeply feel the horror of the eruption of Mount Fuji.

……

December 3, 2076

Mt. Fuji, which had been dormant for nearly 400 years, erupted almost without warning.

The erupted magma spread at a speed of 185 kilometers per hour, obscuring the sky from most of Japan......

Five hours after the disaster, the 500-kilometre area around Mt. Fuji was devastated, paralyzing more than half of Japan's cities.

Subsequently, South Korea, which is adjacent to Japan, issued an early warning and carried out emergency evacuations in many cities near the Sea of Japan.

The Chinese rescue team arrived in Hokkaido, Japan, seven hours after the disaster broke out, and began to participate in the evacuation work.

In the early morning of December 5, Mt. Fuji, which had been erupting for 27 hours, finally "subsided".

But at this time, Japan was already devastated......

Japan to the east, from Ishikawa to Mie, was hit by the immediate devastation of Mt. Fuji......

Later, American experts reported that the eruption of Mt. Fuji in Japan, with an unprecedented magnitude of six, would have a catastrophic impact not only on Japan, but also on the world......

……

It's the last day of the year 2076.

Rescue teams from all over the world began to rush to the affected centers to find survivors.

On the same day, the Japanese government designated December 3, 2076 as National Disaster Day, and called on the people to work together to overcome the difficulties.

……

However...... At a time when the rest of the world was expressing sympathy and assistance for the disaster that had befallen Japan, the "warriors of the nation" who had been dormant in Japan for many years reappeared, and this time they carried out terrorist attacks against several countries that had openly stated that they would not accept Japanese refugees.

The "Warrior of the Nation" incident made Japan, which was already in danger, almost in a desperate situation.

Many countries that have previously agreed to accept some Japanese refugees have also reduced the number of people they can accept, and South Korea has made it clear that it will no longer agree to accept Japanese refugees unless the Japanese government can eradicate the "warriors of the nation".

……

Chu Yanran, who is in a "warm nest", is depressed in her heart, if she temporarily puts aside her feelings for her family and country...... At the critical juncture, the terrorist attack created by these madmen did pluck the string of "hatred" in Chu Yanran's heart.

But this is not simply a hatred of the "warriors of the nation", but a helpless hatred of mankind!

……

Putting down the photo, flipping through the paperwork, the first message that catches your eye is ......

"The eruption of Mount Fuji may be directly related to the AOA."

……

It's AOA again, and Chu Yanran can't evaluate this organization anymore.

If they are terrorist organizations, what is the purpose of their actions?

The "equalization of wealth" ten years ago was not a universal move to rob the rich and help the poor...... Instead, the AOA simply wants to destroy the existing economic system, and recklessly do so.

Now they are eyeing "superbombs" around the world.

Except for Mt. Fuji...... Will the next target be Yellowstone?

Sure enough, turning the second page, Chu Yanran saw the reaction of the US government.

They carried out emergency evacuations in Wyoming, as well as several surrounding states, and sent experts to reassess the supervolcanoes in Yellowstone to make sure they didn't erupt suddenly.

As a result, Yellowstone's supervolcanoes are still sleeping soundly, and they won't wake up for at least a few thousand years...... But if the outbreak of Mt. Fuji has anything to do with the AOA, the U.S. government will have to take precautions.

……

So was the outbreak of Mt. Fuji caused by the AOA?

The investigation report on pages 4 to 10 provides a detailed analysis of the causes of the eruption of Mt. Fuji...... However, there is still no direct proof that Mt. Fuji was "detonated" by man.

Reading between the lines, Chu Yanran can feel that they may prefer that Mount Fuji is really artificially detonated, and it is better for AOA to do it, because it is more reasonable, so that they can still believe that they still have predictability about disasters.

……

The last page of the report does not mention the eruption of Mt. Fuji again, but instead lists a list of recent figures on the progress of the Flint Project.

Chu Yanran just took a few glances and found out...... After the outbreak of Mt. Fuji, the National Security Office's recruitment activities around the world have become much easier, and the negative growth that has lasted for 11 months has finally rebounded, and it only took half a month to exceed the historical high.

See this data......

Chu Yanran suddenly felt a shudder.

"Flint Project" ......

Could it be that the outbreak of Mt. Fuji is also related to the National Security Department?

Is this a coincidence?

Chu Yanran is willing to believe that this is a coincidence...... But...... Since meeting Li Rang and Ouyang Lailai, Chu Yanran has a new understanding of the National Security Department, the mysterious organization, and the "Slice Universe" plan.

This is the time when the Mt. Fuji disaster broke out.

Chu Yanran suddenly had an extremely terrifying conjecture......

That's the AOA and the National Security Service...... Maybe they used each other from the beginning, and even they ...... It's just black and white......

Each of the AOA's actions has contributed to the NSA's programming.

It's very corny plot, but ......

Chu Yanran didn't dare to think about it anymore, she put down the material, covered her face, and after a long silence, Chu Yanran let out a sigh of relief, and attributed all these dark thoughts to self-denial of the disaster.

It's an instinctive stress response.

It is the self-rationalization of people after suffering great changes or making great mistakes.

……

Put the material away, put it back in the bag, and dissolve it in a strong rot reagent.

After dealing with all this, Chu Yanran came to the experimental bench, where the model of the sliced universe was unfolded, and the gap she tried to fill remained in a hazy uncertainty to this day.

But she couldn't wait any longer, she had to finish the whole model before all this happened became a necessity, because only then could she forget all this gloom for a while, and be able to talk about solace.

……

"Are the fireworks pretty?"

"Thirteen million people...... Scold...... It's really beautiful......

"Those are just numbers, and they are nothing compared to the disasters you and I will really face."

"It's really not worth mentioning?"

"It's really not worth mentioning."

"Hmm...... Your tone is getting colder, and sometimes I wonder if I'm talking to a robot. ”

"I'm not a robot, I have a sense of taste, I'm scared, I'm sad, but ...... Until I've done all this, I don't deserve to mention these spiritual feelings. ”

"Spirituality...... Poof, you're really good at laughing. ”

"It's not ridiculous."

"Well, the 'Flint Project' is going very well, and Mr. is very satisfied."

"That's good."

"But Sir still wants you to do one more thing for her."

"What?"

"Send the guests away."
