Dimensional Store System In Apocalypse - Chapter 379
For the next couple of days, all his time was mainly spent moving between the Cloning and Research Facility. The day-to-day activity within the Vermilion Empress and Shelter No: 213 also returned to normal after Satella’s zombification matters were announced as under control.
While some of them still have an issue about their personal safety, the situation was handled with care. As a matter of security, the Decrystallzation Serums became a compulsory kit on all emergency kits, making it easier for them to access the serum if an accident happened.
Meanwhile, the Research Facility seems to be ready for the next phase of its Variant Seed Crystal Virus research. To properly harness the power from these Prismatic Crystals, they invited Marvin, Victor, Adam, and Frank to help create the Wind Base Group’s own Energy Reactor.
It seems that the Research Facility has stopped doubting the ability and experience the four Engineering Department Leaders had in them. As part of Zhang Qin Feng’s original members in Wind Base Group, their understanding of what the boss truly needs is also an essential part of their development.
They would be taking the Fusion Generator EX that comes with the Vermilion Empress to illustrate how the generator would look. But this time, their focus won’t be prioritizing energy-saving and efficiency.
Performance and Stability would be the feature in this next generation of energy reactors. Although the prototype is yet to be fabricated, they already had a plan on how it would turn out.
Their proposal quickly receives approval to go ahead from Zhang Qin Feng. With all his attention is currently placed on allowing Satella, Alex, and Shaun to have their life back, this was actually the best time for them to get his approval in many things.
In the meantime, Valerian and Carol didn’t have it easy for themselves either.
With only two of them handling the entire research topic on clones and bloodline, Valerian and Carol had quite a challenging task in front of them. Because the matter with his blood is still considered confidential, all the help the two could get was in the form of Artificial Intelligence.
Except for the Engineering Department and Research Facility, the Cloning Room was the third facility to use the most power to run.
As for a reason on the astronomically high power usage is all thanks to having three Shennong AI running on 24 hours. Without the three Artificial Intelligence working day and night, it would almost be impossible to even produce the clones with Zhang Qin Feng as their base.

“The temperature in the room is running normally. Air level, light level, and preparation are ready for us to activate the ZQF-Series Clone 0001.” Valerian said as she read everything out from the hologram panel under her control.
Evidently, she’s on a recording mode right now, as their two months effort finally had the chance to open its eyes right now.
This ZQF-Cloning Series would be the most expensive cloning program in Shelter No: 213’s record. The cost of producing one ZQF-Series Clone would cost about 100 times more costly compared to Hoya or Lucian-base clones.
Naturally, there’s a reason behind the outrageous price of a single clone.
While it would still take some time to thoroughly verify all possible diseases that might occur, Valerian is confident about this generation of clones and their immunity. Furthermore, the two are optimistic to say that they’ve solved the problem with the clone’s fertility.
This series of clones would be their first step in conceiving naturally.
Of course, it is still too premature for them to discuss anything further than this.
“Vital Report! Also, the mind activity and motor response reading, please!” Valerian assumed the position of the lead researcher as she continued to record her progress inside this tempered glass’ room. It was built as a precaution of accident might happen.
“Blood pressure, brain activity, and stimulation on motor response are all strong. The specimen is all ready for activation.” Carol immediately replied. It seems that she’s been eagerly waiting for this moment too.
“Open the maturing vat!” Valerian ordered. The Shennong AI that controlled the function immediately reacted to her command and did as it was told.
The Vat holding an adult clone opened swiftly after draining away all the nutrient solution. All the outer tubes for breathing, feeding, and excrement were removed from the clone as it gently fell on the floor.
This scene is somewhat similar to how a living being hatched from an egg. It seemed like the objective in creating a new series of the clone was a success so far. But as this was Valerian and Carol’s first approach, there are more procedures to follow.
From running a few tests on the clone to checking their brain activity, they must undergo multiple examinations before marking this clone safe. After all, this was the first time Zhang Qin Feng’s genetic was used as the foundation for the clone.
“Huh… Huh…” the clone twitched and struggled as its body responded to the temperature and breathable oxygen in the atmosphere. It looked no different from a baby learning how to breathe after being born into this world.
But the entire process happened at lightning speed. In less than two minutes after the clone started to breathe, it already had enough strength to open the eyes and regurgitate the nutrient solutions that remained inside the stomach.
In the third minute, the clone with a faint resemblance of Zhang Qin Feng’s feature had started to grow awareness of its surroundings and began to gain a hint of commonsense. The clone quickly learned how to put on its cloth before playing with the electronic device left on the table.
In precisely five minutes, the clone had learned how to unlock the door to access the world outside.
“Congratulation for being born into this world. Do you know what’s your name is?” Zhang Qin Feng asked the clone the moment it stepped outside of the room. Satella, Carol, and himself were the first three people he met when he was born.
“My… My name is… Zhang…”
“Zhang… Tianci…” the clone stuttered for a moment before replying to Zhang Qin Feng.
