The system handed me over to the state.

Bronya shook her head. "No, I'll keep smiling like this as long as Seele is happy."

"What an idiot!"

"Then I'll be a fool for the rest of my life and let you take care of me."

Seele fell silent... Finally, she let out a sigh, "Fine, fine, then you can continue being a fool and showing that stupid smile."

Seele left the room, and Bronya smiled and followed her out. After meeting up with Lin Yuxin outside the door, they left the dormitory area together and headed towards the laboratory area of ​​the Sea of ​​Quanta.

..........

"You've arrived, Bronya. It's been a long time. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't see you yesterday because of some things."

Bronya looked at the young woman in front of her with a puzzled expression, and then looked at Lao Yu next to her as if to ask, "Who is this?"

Old Yu smiled and extended his hand, "Let me introduce you. This is Hua Yun. You should have heard of her."

Bronya froze for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "Hua Yun?! The nation's top, strongest neurosurgeon?!"

"Nice to meet you, Dr. Bronya."

Hua Yun extended her hand to Bronya. After shaking hands with Hua Yun in a daze, Bronya asked in surprise, "Why... are you here?"

Hua Yun put her hands in the pockets of her white coat and said with a smile, "Actually, I originally wanted to see what kind of person could develop high-precision laser technology, but I didn't expect to see something that surprised me even more."

"Then, I was inexplicably pulled into a parallel world rescue organization, hmm... it's really interesting."

Hua Yun looked at Bronya and Seele with great interest. "I've read some information about mind technology, and I'm very interested in it. So I plan to stay here and study more about mind technology. After all, I'm in neuroscience, and I'm curious about anything related to the human brain."

Bronya nodded. She wasn't particularly interested in psychic technology, and her own abilities didn't require psychic powers, so she didn't pay any attention to the information.

However, the country's research on mind technology has been stagnant, since many experiments involve inhumane practices, and China will absolutely not touch or cross the line.

Now that we have Hua Yun, a neurosurgeon, we should be able to continue our research effectively.

Moreover, if Bronya remembered correctly, mental abilities didn't seem to be just simple mind control; they seemed to have some... other functions as well.

"Well then, everyone's here. Miss Tong Xi, how about you give the opening remarks?"

Tong Xi nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Well... let's talk about the reasons. First of all, Bronya, your prediction was correct. This parallel world is indeed the parallel world that Seele lived in before, and the other party's goal is also Seele."

"Our system has conducted a preliminary investigation of that world and believes it can be treated as an urgent mission. I am issuing this to you."

"However, we promise that there will be no second mission within a year. Therefore, whether or not to issue it in the form of a mission is entirely up to you."

"Whether you choose to accept it or not, I will provide you with assistance."

Bronya pondered for a moment, then asked, "What kind of help can you offer me? What rewards can I get if I complete it as a mission?"

Bronya felt it was better to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision.

"There are two forms: one is an emergency mission, and the other is not issued as a mission."

"First of all, if it is issued in the form of a mission, then this operation is equivalent to a mission that is urgent in nature but has a generous reward. I will not hide it. After the mission is completed, our system will help you stabilize the two worlds and keep them at a safe distance in the long term so that they will not encounter any danger."

"Furthermore, we will provide you with the technology to briefly travel through the Sea of ​​Quanta, allowing you to freely move back and forth between the two worlds."

"Even if it is not issued in the form of a mission, our system will still help you stabilize the distance between the two worlds and provide corresponding assistance during your operation, so that you can resolve this crisis and complete this operation more quickly."

"But the price is that there is no reward, and after the mission is completed, the two worlds will have no connection whatsoever."

"Now, make your choice, Bronya."

Chapter 118: The Apocalypse

What is the general state of the world?

Bronya didn't rush to make a decision. Instead, she focused on the situation in the world. Although that world had suffered a large-scale nuclear attack, they could still obtain the mineral resources on Earth and the resources of the corresponding planets in the universe.

The current task is to determine the general situation of the world. Once the situation is determined, they will be able to assess the difficulty of this operation and then choose the appropriate course of action.

If the cost of the operation is too high, then China will choose the second option, preferring to give up the resources of a parallel universe rather than bear the excessive cost.

If the situation is good, then choosing the first option will naturally be more beneficial than harmful.

"As for the specifics, well... I don't know how you humans see it, but in my opinion, that planet is in pretty good condition."

"First of all, nuclear radiation currently covers 90% of the world's soil, except for Antarctica and the Arctic. The remaining 10% of the land is also constantly facing the invasion of nuclear radiation, mutated organisms, and... Honkai products."

Bronya's expression froze, and she asked seriously, "Are you sure it's Honkai? Are those things Seele mentioned that were modified, and are they the Honkai as the mastermind behind it? Where is the Herrscher of Reason, and where is the other Seele?"

Tong Xi smiled slightly, "This is beyond the scope of information I can provide; you'll have to explore it yourselves."

"Continue. Although most of the continent has been affected by nuclear radiation, there are still about 100,000 survivors gathered at the North and South Poles. In addition, there is another group of survivors located in the Taixu of Shenzhou. You should know who they are, right?"

Bronya and Seele froze, Bronya whispering in surprise, "Is it the class monitor? But Seele said that the class monitor on the Void had already been..."

Bronya looked at Seele, who nodded. "Indeed... We saw with our own eyes that Squad Leader Fu Hua died in battle and that Mount Taixu fell. There's no way we could be wrong."

"Could it be... a trick of the trade? Were we seeing an incorrect scene?"

"It's also possible that it was recaptured after the country fell."

Bronya had a different idea. After all, Seele hadn't told her that Kiana and the others were dead. That meant that even though the apocalypse had happened, Kiana, Mei, and the others were still alive. Maybe this survivor camp in Mount Taixu was established by Kiana and the others.

"So... what are the specific details about the survivors?"

Old Yu inquired, and they didn't know the specifics of the survivors' situation. If things were bad... what if they were completely overrun before they even got there?

"I can't tell you too much about the specific situation of the survivors. First of all, the survivor settlements on both the North and South Poles are in good condition. After all, they are separated from the mainland by a vast ocean, so their living conditions and the situation of the people are slightly better than before."

"However... among these survivors, most are from Europe and America. The survivors from China are mainly gathered in Taixu Mountain, and some are barely surviving in the ruins."

"If you want to carry out rescues, you don't need to worry about the people in the Arctic and Antarctic. Just focus on rescuing the survivors in China."

Lao Yu and Ji Chengtian exchanged a glance. Should they only rescue the survivors in Shenzhou, or... rescue all the survivors?

"What are the states of anti-entropy, destiny, and the World Serpent?"

Bronya suddenly remembered that although Anti-Entropy and Destiny had suffered heavy losses in this apocalypse, it was still unknown whether they had been destroyed. The exact state of World Serpent was also unclear. So Bronya was very curious about what state these three organizations would be in after the apocalypse.

"It's not good. Einstein and Dr. Tesla of Anti-Entropy, under the protection of the Alliance Leader Welt, escaped into Shenzhou with the last Herrscher of Reason core, but they were intercepted halfway. The Herrscher core was taken away, and Schicksal was wiped out. Apart from a small group of Undying Blade members led by Rita, the surviving Valkyries have basically all been transformed into mechanical Valkyries."

"As for the World Serpent... I don't know."

"do not know?"

Bronya was quite surprised. How could the system and the others not know about the World Serpent's situation?!

Tong Xi nodded, a hint of helplessness in her eyes. "The situation with the World Serpents is very strange. We have no way of finding their location. It must be their advanced Quantum Sea technology that saved them. Maybe they are hiding somewhere in the Quantum Sea now."

"Is that so? Is it related to the Pure Land of Past Lives?"

Bronya thought it was unlikely. Perhaps the snake in this world was plotting something. It would be better to investigate carefully after entering that parallel world.

Next, Tong Xi told everyone about the other aspects of that parallel world, while Lao Yu sighed and pondered countermeasures, such as what size team was needed for the evacuation, what level of protection was required, and what to do after bringing the survivors from that world over.

These are all things that need to be planned.

However, Tong Xi also told them about a problem: Honkai. For unknown reasons, the areas on the mainland that are heavily contaminated by nuclear radiation are facing a high intensity of Honkai energy accumulation, and any area could give birth to a Herrscher.

However, no more Herrschers were born, and no one knew what the Honkai Will was thinking. So, excluding the threat of Herrschers for the time being, what they had to face was high-intensity nuclear radiation and Honkai energy. The people of Shenzhou had never experienced Honkai, and even Honkai energy was completely unknown to them.

Therefore, at Ji Chengtian's suggestion, it is hoped that Bronya can publish a manual, specifically preparing some information and related data about Honkai energy, so that the warriors who go out to carry out missions can have a basic understanding and find emergency measures in case of special circumstances.

Bronya naturally agreed, and the next step was preparation. The specific situation was clear: they needed to assemble an army in a short period of time specifically for this special operation, and all sorts of protective equipment and other supplies needed to be carefully researched and developed.

Bronya began modifying her and Seele's combat suits. This time, they would be facing high-intensity nuclear radiation and Honkai energy erosion. The combat suits needed to be modified to allow them to resist radiation and Honkai erosion intact.

Moreover, after modification, this technology can also be used on the protective clothing of ordinary soldiers.

However, just as Bronya was about to take action, Lao Yu suddenly visited Bronya's studio. She looked at Lao Yu with some confusion, "Sir, is there something you need?"

"Um... it's like this, our engineering department recently developed a small, single-person powered armor for military use. Would you like to take a look and offer some feedback?"

Chapter 119: Type 3 Power Armor

"The latest...powered armor?"

Bronya tilted her head in confusion. As for the power armor, she should be able to offer some help. After all, she also planned to properly modify Little Bunny for this mission and catch up on the research she hadn't completed in the faction war.

"Yes, that's right. Before this operation was finalized, we had already developed a small, single-person mech using the Titan mech technology you provided. It's somewhat similar to powered armor, and the mech is currently powered by high-energy batteries."

"We tried using a nuclear fusion reactor, but it is still difficult to scale up the reactor to the size required for armor, so we are using high-energy batteries as a substitute for now."

"Take a look, here is the detailed information."

Old Yu handed the tablet to Bronya. Bronya took the tablet and looked at the relevant information on it. She was slightly surprised. This mech was somewhat similar to the power armor in StarCraft 2, but compared to the UED's CMC series power armor, this mech was larger and looked a bit bulky.

It's like... a muscular fitness instructor and a fat person of similar size.

Can I complain about its appearance?

Bronya looked up and asked tentatively. Old Yu shrugged and said, "Sure, I was hoping you could help me with the design anyway."

Bronya nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "It's too ugly."

"Forehead...."

"It's really ugly. Isn't the design of the CMC Power Armor series in the Civilization Pack better? Although it's the older version, there's a CG cutout from StarCraft 2 right there for us. Couldn't we just make some modifications to its performance and appearance?"

"Or do you insist on creating a style that reflects the unique characteristics of our land? Are you going to make the power armor resemble the armor of ancient warriors?"

Bronya sighed softly. "Sir, you don't really think that, do you?"

Seeing the hesitant look in Lao Yu's eyes, Bronya looked surprised. She knew that the game mod called Corona did indeed design an exoskeleton based on the armor style of ancient China, but... it was an exoskeleton, not a powered armor.

Although they are similar, they are fundamentally different and therefore cannot be confused in terms of appearance design.

"Okay, so do you have any suggestions?"

Old Yu decisively abandoned his somewhat unrealistic ideas and instead asked Bronya for her thoughts. After reviewing the various parameters, Bronya asked, "This armor seems to have quite a few functions, sir. You wouldn't be thinking of making a versatile power armor that can be used by both the military and civilians, would you?"

"To be precise, it's a powered armor used by the military, disaster relief, and police. However, I also think that under normal circumstances, having too many functions would make the mecha more bloated."

Bronya nodded. "It's better to separate them. Military equipment is military equipment, disaster relief is disaster relief, and police equipment is police equipment. We should distinguish between them. Military equipment focuses on combat effectiveness, speed, protection, storage of military equipment, life support devices, and protection against harsh environments."

"In disaster relief and rescue operations, the storage of military equipment is reduced, and the emphasis is placed on life support devices, harsh environments, and general protection capabilities. The storage of military equipment is modified into multi-functional equipment storage."

"Police equipment is essentially a weakened version of military equipment. The functionality of life support devices can be reduced to emphasize speed and protection. After all, we don't know what kind of deadly weapons criminals might be hiding."
