Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

The car slowed down, its wheels softening as they moved across the sandy terrain before smoothly entering the sea. The four wheels underneath bent ninety degrees, transforming into underwater turbines that propelled the vehicle along the seabed.

"This car is amphibious, with enough oxygen inside to support ten adults for three months," Aike explained with a hint of pride, "and in fact, these cars can also fly."

"How do they fly?" Zhang Manman asked curiously, "Do wings extend from the sides and then it accelerates to take off?"

"Heh, that's already outdated," Aike shook his head, "It's anti-gravity!"

Gravity, that is, the force of attraction.

In the vacuum of space, as long as there is matter, there is gravity, varying only in strength.

If humans want to escape gravity and reach the high skies, they must accelerate based on the principle that "forces act in pairs." By taking advantage of air currents and lifting off from the ground, they can then fly.

Anti-gravity, however, is about finding a force that repels gravity, and then inventing a device that can control this repulsion, thus freeing oneself from gravity's pull.

It can be said that if Umbrella Corporation really developed an anti-gravity device, they could even become the strongest in terms of military power, second only to Ming Lun!

Furthermore, Umbrella Corporation has no need to focus solely on genetic solutions.

However—

"Has Umbrella really developed anti-gravity?"

Su Jie sensed a thumb-sized, round stone underneath the chassis of the car, emitting an unusual magnetic field. Despite its small size, it was incredibly dense, probably weighing a ton.

If the car could indeed hover, Su Jie speculated that it was primarily because of this stone. The M|V|LE&MPYR team worked hard on this chapter.

"Of course!"

Aike almost had "Umbrella Corporation is number one" written all over his face, his proud demeanor making him seem a bit naive.

Clearly, Aike didn't know the specifics.

The car continued its journey in the ocean; about an hour later, a sea base appeared in front of Su Jie and the others.

Its dark gray metallic material was inconspicuous in the sea, with various pipes crisscrossing each other like an unfinished framework rather than a completed building.

Su Jie understood that it was not that Umbrella Corporation didn't want to turn this place into an artful castle; rather, only such a structure could withstand the tremendous pressure beneath the sea.

They lacked the technology to isolate the surrounding sea water from the structure using energy shields, barriers, arrays, and such abilities like the Sea Dragon Palaces in "Journey to the West."

"We're here!"

Aike directed the driver to enter through an entrance marked with a large Arabic numeral "1."

Hum!

After the vehicle stopped, the entrance behind the vehicle closed. The water in the pipes continued to tremble and decrease, being drained out.

Soon, white lights lit up around them, and the metal floor beneath the car continuously descended.

Umbrella Corporation's headquarters was underground!

After descending about a hundred meters, Su Jie and the others saw light.

Vast! Expansive!

The walls above and the floor beneath appeared seamlessly connected, forming a semi-cylindrical shape. Both sides were lined with rows of armed security personnel wearing sunglasses and stern expressions.

All wore the same uniform, the same hairstyle, and even their faces were identical.

Clones!

Su Jie immediately thought of this.

And—

"They almost look exactly like Albert Wesker. Umbrella Corporation's CEO, Robert Nick, really has some twisted humor," Su Jie thought to himself, hearing Aike spread his arms wide as if to embrace the world: "Welcome to Umbrella Corporation's headquarters, or, as you may also call it—Umbrella!"

Zhang Manman interrupted unapologetically, "When speaking Chinese, let's stick to calling it 'Umbrella Corporation.' Otherwise, it sounds a bit too 'try-hard.' By the way, you're not really researching the so-called T-Virus, G-Virus, are you?"

Aike lowered his arms, with his smile subtly receding, he said, "You've guessed right. We do have such intentions, but since we don't have the original virus strain, we have to research from other angles."

"Like: Lizard people."

Seeing that Zhang Manman and Su Jie were not shocked by this, Aike suddenly felt it was somewhat uninteresting and led the two of them through the corridors.

"Okay, that was a joke. How could we possibly be studying lizard people?"

"That would be inhumane!"

Aike spoke with fervent conviction, asserting, "Umbrella Corporation's mission is to protect the health and perfect evolution of mankind, safeguarding all humanity."

Zhang Manman simply laughed it off.

Those were just words, not to be taken seriously.

Three minutes later, Aike brought the two to a laboratory where the staff was researching a type of rice.

"Tai Chi rice actually frees everyone from worrying about food, but here in the West, we need to import it from the East to have it, and a large portion still consumes ordinary rice and flour-based food," Aike clenched his fist, "To progress, we in the West must create our super rice, to provide ample nutrition and energy for human evolution."

Presently, Huaxia people's average life force has reached 0.7, even starting to edge towards 0.8, while in the West and other places, the average life force is just 0.6.

The main reason is the East's restriction on the annual export of Tai Chi rice.

In reality, the amount of Tai Chi rice that Huaxia exports each year is enough for everyone in other countries to afford. However, the policy followed here is to keep the masses ignorant and manage through policy, storing most of the Tai Chi rice domestically for their own consumption; mixing ordinary rice with a small amount of Tai Chi rice, then selling it to the people here.
