I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World (Web Novel)

chapter-1053
A faint blue holographic screen floated on Jiang Chen’s right-hand side, and Lin Lin in the screen was debugging in front of a machine.
On Jiang Chen’s left-hand side was a weird-looking machine. The reason it looked weird was that the box-design didn’t seem to consider the consumer’s perception. Other than the countless wires that connected to an arm guard, the other side of the machine was connected to two discs stacked together.
In the middle of the two discs was a hamster cage.
Lin Lin called this device, Portal No. 1.
As the name implied, it was a device used to transport things between the apocalypse and the modern world. Lin Lin designed machines with similar functions, and on a much larger scale, primarily used to help Jiang Chen transmit food and ore. But different from the previous device, this could be used to transport living things.Jiang Chen jokingly referred to it as Hamster Killer No. 1.
“Ready?”
Putting on the arm guard, Jiang Chen took a deep breath, took a last glance at the suspicious machine, and then tightened his grip.
“Okay.”
“That’s the beginning… the coordinates have been imported.” Lin Lin tapped a few buttons on the touchpad, “Countdown…3, 2, 1, 0! Power on!”
Blue arc flashed and merged into a vortex between the two discs. The instantaneous magnetic field surged and made all of Jiang Chen’s hair jump up.
“What the… is this thing really reliable?” Looking at the spherical arc growing in size, Jiang Chen grabbed his right arm and moved back a little as he protested.“No problem, no problem! The data is showing everything is fine, the channel is very stable…Though energy consumption is a bit fast, and the anti-matter that we took half a year to accumulate has almost been completely depleted, but those are all trivial things, you should concentrate on keeping the storage space open.”
The ferocious magnetic field and the secondary dimension field began interfering with the interdimensional communication chip in the watch, and the holographic screen began to appear unstable. The zealous Lin Lin furiously typed on the keyboard while not forgetting to keep Jiang Chen calm.
However, her words did not give Jiang Chen any peace of mind, but rather, it made him more uneasy. If he didn’t have unconditional trust in Lin Lin, he would have kicked the power long ago.
After forcing the thought of escaping out of his mind, Jiang Chen took a deep breath and submerged his consciousness into the storage dimension. Inside the dark and eerie spherical universe, he saw a ball of light. He then reached out and covered the ball of light sparkling with electric rays with his consciousness and pulled it into the modern world…
The deafening noise of static filled the room, then everything returned to calmness.
“Success!”
With Lin Lin cheering, the disordered magnetic field in the room disappeared instantly. When Jiang Chen opened his eyes, he saw on the cage of “Portal No. 1”, a slow-looking hamster.
All the pressure he felt disappeared and he let out a long sigh of relief. With a weary smile, he sunk into a chair.
“Yeah, finally fu*king successful.”
“Hey, can you not swear?”
Jiang Chen did not reply to Lin Lin as he took off the arm guard tied to his right arm. Then, he got up and walked to the other side of the machine.
One foot stepping onto the power switch, Jiang Chen then went and lifted the iron cage up and put it in front of himself.
Perhaps the current hurt its brain, but its black eyes stared straight at the human outside the cage. The small nostrils opened and closed, and it seemed to be traumatized. Jiang Chen thought about it, and he certainly understood its feeling. He would have been scared to death if he was in the arcs of a storm.
Jiang Chen looked at the shaking hamster in the cage, then he smiled and opened the door of the cage, patted its head.
“Lucky guy, at least a hundred predecessors died before you… Take this, your reward.
Jiang Chen handed the hamster a sunflower seed and then closed the cage.
When the little guy saw it, it immediately reacted. The two small claws grabbed the seed in a hurry and used its small mouth to quickly peel open the seed. After it ate the seed, it looked to Jiang Chen again with its benevolent eyes.
Jiang Chen could not help but smile when he looked at the fat hamster acting cute. He grabbed a handful from the bag next to him and threw them into the cage. The hamster surrounded by happiness gathered all the seeds around him.
“Hey, eat it. At least this is a good meal. There are still two sets of experiments waiting for you later.”
If the hamster understood him, maybe it would have dropped the seeds in fear.
In short, Jiang Chen was extremely happy.
Although the hamster was only 50 grams in size, after this breakthrough, transporting a human would not be so farfetched.
He took out two crystals from the storage dimension. Jiang Chen pinched the crystal in his right hand and absorbed the energy. After looking at the lines on his wrist, he tossed the crystal that turned white onto the table.
“Are you done resting? I’m ready to repeat the experiment here!” Lin Lin put her face close to the camera.
Jiang Chen eyed Lin Lin in the holographic screen.
“Why do I feel like a white lab rat?”
“Not at all!”
At this moment, the picture in the holographic screen suddenly blurred. Lin Lin, denied the accusation, moved at an extremely slow pace.
Jiang Chen slightly frowned, raised his left arm and looked at the watch, but found no issues.
Lin Lin also seemed to be aware of this strange phenomenon in the apocalypse . She had already left the table and was running to the other machine. From her frown, he seemed to notice something unusual.
Jiang Chen tried to activate the interdimensional bracelet, but what surprised him was that he didn’t manage to interdimensional travel, he was still sitting on the chair.
Just as he was shocked at this moment, the blur on the holographic screen disappeared, and the interdimensional communication resumed as normal.
Once again, he activated interdimensional travel. This time, there was not a single pause. In a blink of an eye, he had already appeared in the mansion.
He walked quickly to the backyard, passed through the side door of the institute, and under the crowd of Lin Lin sisters’ watch, he ran into Lin Lin’s new laboratory.
When he closed the door, he immediately asked Lin Lin, who was standing in front of the touchpad with a stern expression on her face.
“What happened?”
“I don’t know. Just now, the Klein particle signal suddenly received strong interference. It should not be the device’s issue… Wait, could it be…” Lin Lin’s expression suddenly changed, and she clicked on the touchpad that formed several ripples. There was sudden realization on her face when she read the data from the device’s feedback.
“What the hell is going on?” Jiang Chen frowned.
“The communication channel was crowded. When we talked, someone sent a Klein particle wave to this area. If I didn’t guess wrong, you shouldn’t be able to interdimensional travel at the time. Do you remember?”
Jiang Chen took a second to think and his expression instantly changed.
He recalled from a long time ago when he was in City K in Country F, the Kurofune used a special method that prevented him from interdimensional travel for a certain period of time. At that time, Lin Lin explained that the Harmony space colonization ship interfered through the resonance effect of the Klein particles by releasing a Klein particle wave.
This was originally a means of communication, except that the strength of the wave exceeded a certain threshold.
“Just then, that space colonization ship released Klein particle waves toward the solar system. You can understand that they used a ‘radio’ that can emit Klein particle signal and broadcast it to that area… But what is their purpose?” Lin Lin frowned.
Yeah, what is their purpose? The Kurofune was destroyed…
Suddenly, a terrifying thought came to Jiang Chen’s mind.
“The Golden Apple.”
Lin Lin looked at Jiang Chen with confusion. “Isn’t the Golden Apple in your hands?”
“I… I gifted it to someone else.” Rubbing the back of his head, Jiang Chen smiled bitterly.
Lin Lin’s eyes widened and said.
“Gifted it? How can you do that?”
“It’s… It’s a long story. Didn’t you say that it can only be used to receive signals? Anyway, the Remnants of the Void have completely lost connections. I thought that it was useless, so…” Jiang Chen scratched his cheek apologetically.
At that time, he exchanged the Golden Apple for the IAEA’s acquiescence to the development of nuclear technology in Xin and won time for the development of Future Group.
“Well, you can’t just give it away!” Lin Lin was very angry and stomping her feet.
“Can you locate the signal?” Jiang Chen interrupted Lin Lin’s words.
“I can… but the Golden Apple is just a receiver. If you can only accept the signal unilaterally, I can only track the direction of the signal source at most… Wait, how is this possible?” Lin Lin stared at the flashing green dot and the parameters next to it with an incomprehensible look.
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Chen walked over, though he couldn’t understand the graphics or numbers on the holographic screen.
“Only half a minute ago, my Klein Particle Wave Tracker detected a feedback signal.” Lin Lin looked at the screen, shocked. Muttering to herself, “how exactly did it do this? The Golden Apple? No… it’s impossible to do it with just the Golden Apple. It must be something else.”
Jiang Chen raised his hand and interrupted Lin Lin’s muttering.
“I only have one question. Can you locate it now?”
“Yes.” After adjusting her thought, Lin Lin nodded, and the finger clicked on the touchpad a few times. Then the signal light on Jiang Chen’s left wrist flashed. “I have sent the coordinates to you… This is incredible”
Clicking on the holographic screen on his watch, Jiang Chen opened the mail.
It was a map of the world; the focus was on Northern Europe. A striking red dot was marked on the map, and the marked position was –
“Finland?”
