Chapter 359 - 448: Gabriel Sinclair: Inhumane
[This is the first I’m hearing of a nuclear decontamination device, but nuclear wastewater is notoriously difficult to handle. It’s usually buried deep underground. However, from what I’ve seen in the documentation, it’s theoretically highly plausible.]
The speaker was a science influencer with millions of followers on a short-video platform. His comment left his fans baffled.
[What exactly does the nuclear decontamination device do? I still don’t get it.]
[To the person above, the main function of the nuclear decontamination device is basically filtration and purification, but its purification effect is incredibly powerful. No country has this technology yet, not even internationally. If the research on this device is successful, not only will our country’s power and standing improve, but more importantly, we’ll be able to experiment with many technologies that we’ve been hesitant to pursue.]
Thanks to the explanations from numerous science communicators, some people began to grasp the concept.
What’s more, many users had tuned into the Varden Meridia Laboratory’s last livestream. So, upon hearing about the nuclear decontamination device, they were surprised but also flocked to Chloe Sinclair’s social media page to congratulate her.
Meanwhile, Chloe Sinclair was busy with research and calculations for quantum communication technology and was oblivious to the online buzz. She only found out when Eight noticed her reputation value skyrocketing.
Chloe Sinclair hadn’t expected her professor to be so fast.
But when she thought about the current situation at home and abroad, it all made sense.
In this day and age, the development of a new technology is incredibly important for a country.
With a fire lit in her heart, Chloe Sinclair privately contacted Jasper Shaw.
The nuclear decontamination device was her personal technology, which she donated free of charge. The actual manufacturing, however, would need to be handled by the Shaw Group.
Naturally, Joel Quincy had no objections; in fact, he was deeply gratified by Chloe Sinclair’s selfless donation.
Chloe Sinclair could have easily kept this technology for herself, earning enough money and prestige to last an ordinary family for generations. Yet, she gave it to the country without batting an eye.
For a young person, overcoming such temptation is an incredibly difficult feat.

「A week had passed since Chloe Sinclair handed over all her work.」
Fortunately, Emberfall University’s break started early. By the time Chloe Sinclair booked her tickets, everyone else was just starting their vacation, which meant she was caught in the peak travel rush.
Chloe Sinclair booked two plane tickets: one for Gabriel Sinclair and one for herself. As for Jasper Shaw, he probably wouldn’t be returning to Kennet until just before the New Year.
Chloe Sinclair knew Jasper Shaw was swamped with work around the end of the year, so she didn’t rush him, just told him to take care of what he needed to do.
Gabriel Sinclair returned to the apartment on the fifth day of the break, his manager and assistant in tow, hauling suitcases. The luggage instantly made the already small apartment feel even more cramped.
His manager was speechless at the sight. "Gabriel Sinclair, are you really taking this much home for the New Year?"
Gabriel Sinclair, oblivious to his manager’s livid expression, nodded. "Yeah."
"You can carry six suitcases by yourself?" his manager questioned. "You have to be back on the fifth day of the New Year. You’re only home for a little over two weeks. Isn’t it exhausting just thinking about dragging six suitcases back with you?"
Normally, every aspect of Gabriel Sinclair’s life was managed for him in perfect order, leaving him with nothing to worry about.
Hearing that Gabriel Sinclair wanted to take six suitcases home, his manager wasn’t surprised in the least.
So, she decisively made the decision for him. "Once you get to Kennet, try not to go out. As for these suitcases, just leave them here."
His manager, Ms. Mayfield, had been to the Sinclair Family’s villa and knew that Gabriel Sinclair’s closets there were already stuffed full of clothes.
’Besides, he won’t be going out much anyway. What’s the point of bringing all these clothes?’
Just as Gabriel Sinclair looked like he was about to say something, Ms. Mayfield cut him off. "That’s enough. Lawson, contact security later and have all of Gabriel’s luggage shipped to the villa in the Westwood District."
