[Nation-building + State-backed support + Apocalypse]
When the apocalyptic disasters struck, Lin Ye watched his parents and his beloved die one after another. Alone and tormented by grief, he died with regrets.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself reborn on the day of the college entrance exam, one year before the apocalypse, and had activated the Apocalypse Ark System:
[To prepare for the apocalypse one year from now, the System will provide plans for building an ark capable of sheltering the entire nation. As long as you can rally the country and get more people involved in building the ark, you will earn mobilization points to unlock technology and speed up construction.]
Lin Ye knew that to make this long-held wish come true, he first had to attract the nation's attention. So he began laying his plans.
He willingly agreed to be interviewed outside the exam hall and made a prediction:
“On June 12 at 1:37 p.m., a magnitude 8.5 earthquake will strike Hailu Country.”
He also wrote in his exam essay:
“At exactly 9:00 p.m. on June 12, a meteorite will fall in southern Long Country.”
To his surprise, the entire internet dismissed it all as a rumor spread to gain fame.
But then
At 1:37 p.m. on June 12, an earthquake struck across the ocean, just as predicted.
At 9:00 that night, a meteorite streaked across the skies of southern Long Country.
The entire internet fell silent, and the Disaster Response Bureau was shaken to its core.
“I was reborn. The apocalypse will arrive in a year.”
Lin Ye came clean about who he was and revealed his plan to build an ark for the apocalypse.
After looking over the blueprints he submitted, the leaders of Long Country made their decision on the spot:
“Appoint Lin Ye as chief engineer. The ark must be completed before the apocalypse arrives.”
From then on, the East's legendary infrastructure powerhouse was fully awakened.
A year later, when the apocalypse struck, the desperate Western nations looked up in shock and saw a steel behemoth blotting out the sky, rising from the ground in Long Country.
