A series of underwater explosions rang out, destroying patches of seabed reefs into small pieces or powder.

The waterway was completely cleared.

[Please proceed to Danger Node Two, Danger Node Three: Reef removal from the waterway is complete] [Current completion progress: Excellent] [Please complete the final danger point: Homecoming Point - The Final Harbor] [In the instant the danger struck, several human scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences saw a dawn that pierced through the rainstorm during the voyage. That was the light of salvation from human civilization. Hua Xia's highest research specification 'Voyager' relic research vessel was not damaged by touching the bottom reefs. In a disaster live broadcast watched by millions, they struggled to advance towards the final homecoming point of this journey.] [Final Objective: Please build a shelter near the cliffs of Lighthouse 43 that is sufficient to withstand the hurricane] [The degree of completion will affect the future civilization trend of the East Asian coastal area] [60% Completion: All crew members of the Voyager survive] [80% Completion: The Voyager's hull damage is less than 10%, and no precious relic samples are missed] [100% Completion: Dissipate the impact of Super Hurricane 'Ewiniar']

Su Wen looked out the window at the clear blue sky.

He suddenly felt a trace of the weight of civilization.

He smiled.

He didn't feel afraid because of it.

On the contrary.

As a researcher, he deeply understood:

Science respects facts, obeys the truth, but will never succumb to fear.

He controlled his character to start searching for a harbor base that could withstand the hurricane below the promontory of Lighthouse 43.

First of all, from the perspective of water conditions (navigation conditions): dense contour lines - wide and deep water, large space, convenient for navigation and berthing are the primary tasks.

He wondered if the

[Time Travel]

game came with an analysis system.

The semi-concave natural environment under the promontory of Lighthouse 43 met this requirement.

But the natural rock structure alone could not become a shelter for dividing the waves.

It could only become a force-diverting point when the storm came.

Therefore.

He had to design an isolation layer structure to resist deep-water pressure and secondarily reinforce the harbor to accommodate the Voyager.

The conditions were shelter from wind and waves, a leeward area, and it must not be made into an overly risky open structure. It must be designed with a gate to close the structure after the ship enters.

Considering the subsequent hurricane offset point and the impact of the aftershocks, a secondary buffer design and a waterproof and drainage design were also necessary.

If it weren't for

[Modular Building]

giving him the combined building ability of MC Creative Mode.

And the combined structure was completely solid.

Su Wen alone.

Even if he immediately advanced to become a third- or even fourth-order extraordinary, he would be powerless to resist.

"Heroes can't do what science can."

Su Wen began his lonely journey to save the world.

One hour.

Two hours.

He assembled two huge alloy gates as the first barrier.

To prevent excessive storm pressure, Su Wen designed staggered tooth-like structures at the opening and closing points of the gate.

In this way, even if a super hurricane carries a storm, bringing huge instantaneous pressure, the stress will be relieved by the small multi-angle of the tooth-like unit.

So that it won't be directly broken through.

Even for the sake of pressure threshold considerations.

The first barrier designed by Su Wen will not completely drain water when facing excessive pressure, but leave movable gaps in the tooth-like structure.

To avoid the gate from being completely destroyed.

And in the case that the inflow of ocean currents and storm impacts in the alloy gaps were greatly relieved.

He then began to design the second line of defense.

Three hours.

Four hours passed.

During this time, Jiang Menghan had called him, asking if Su Wen was feeling better.

Su Wen, gazing at the clusters of buildings on the screen that were continuously assembling and linking energy pathways, felt a sense of accomplishment well up within him.

He replied simply:

"About ten more hours and it'll be done."

Subsequently, the Chief Player received a cute 'speechless kitty' emoji from Miss Jiang.

The two were just too familiar with each other.

The moment Jiang Menghan saw Su Wen's reply, she knew he was definitely alright.

So, she didn't bother him any further.

Su Wen continued with his grand construction project.

He didn't know why.

The feeling of building an entire fortress with his bare hands was truly addictive.

There was a classic saying in Civilization:

Wonders ruin nations.

But the feeling of personally building a shelter wonder for human civilization that could withstand natural disasters...

It was indeed very satisfying.

As for Schlote's trash, which was almost piled up into dozens of mechanical mountains by the coast, it could now be considered a valuable waste utilization.

The second and third lines of defense were completed.

Su Wen extravagantly used two high-performance deep-sea anti-seepage modules to create a transparent barrier.

Furthermore, to avoid problems with the energy pathways, he simultaneously adopted a structure composed of three independently configured combination circuits with one main and two backup high-efficiency energy cores.

Even if a temporary failure occurred, the overall system operation would be completely unaffected.

Finally.

Inside the harbor.

He reserved a docking point and multiple controllable opening and closing drainage outlets for the Voyager.

This would ensure that the water level remained within a controllable height range, preventing the extremely foolish phenomenon of hitting the top.

After Su Wen completed the arrangement of the three barriers of the haven and the crew rest rooms.

He also opened a secret door from the Lighthouse 43 control room to the mooring point beneath the sea cliff.

If the water level exceeded expectations too much.

They could also leave directly from the high point.

But normally speaking.

Su Wen did not recommend leaving from that lighthouse, which, although it had been reinforced, was still old, during a hurricane.

Of course.

All of this was not his final arrangement.

In order to complete the impossible task of eliminating the super typhoon in the Pacific-East Asia region.

He also left a great gift for the natural disaster 'Ewiniar'.

[Final Danger Point: Return Point - The Last Harbor, Completed] [Completion Progress: Excellent] [After the Hurricane Crisis] [The game will determine the rating based on the outcome of your final handling affecting the future timeline] [Please be patient] [Note: The Origin Era Civilization Chronicle will remember your contribution]

Su Wen, who had stayed up all night, looked at the game screen.

Finally, he was too tired and closed his eyes.

Unable to resist the sleepiness, he fell onto the bed.

And at the moment he completed the game.

The [Death Countdown] in front of him also quietly stopped recording.
