It's just occurred to me that that Mechanical Paradise could be where Shenzhen is ('Silicon Valley' of China). Considering Pangu Biology is north of a large mountain range (Himilayas?); west-ish of the Red River region (south-east China Red River?); and north-west of Redstone Settlement (Mount Danxia, Renhua County?); Mechanical Paradise being Shenzhen would make sense as Shenzhen is literally just south of Mount Danxia and on the coast.

It would probably be quite easy for people in this apocalyptic world to become religious, as most seem to lack proper education and have seen first-hand the powers Awakened have. It'd be easy to fall into the whole god-of-the-gaps thing, where things seem so unexplainable from their perspective that believing in one/several deities makes more sense than considering trying to find evidence to the contrary. Even with Jiang having had the benefits of a full curriculum of Old World education, it's impressive that she's still holds on to her atheism in light of the power Awakened have and presence she felt in the church. It goes in line with her character being staunchly evidence-driven.

My god, I hope not. That'd ruin the story for me.

I've been picturing it as China. The mountains in the south could be the Himilayas, the Red River is in east China, and now we have what seemed to be Russians from the North. It almost seemed guaranteed to be China. A quick search brought 'Renhua County' up for 'Redstone Park' in China, so maybe that's still an option?

For future readers, it's like those from the Life Ritual Church from Pangu Biology. Heart attacks and such.

Unlike with LoM, I haven't felt like there are high stakes involved here yet. I'm feeling like something 'big' needs to happen to shake up things.
Oof, that takes 'degrading' to a new level there.
