Chapter 1102: New Route
On July 1, the town of Liuding asked the NAC for assistance on the grounds that the aircraft carrier Bohai was in disrepair. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
As an ally that has been cooperating for many years, NAC is of course obligated to send an engineering team to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the Bohai. Eventually, NAC's engineering team came to the conclusion that the Bohai had been degraded to a dangerous level due to years of inadequate maintenance.
Only a comprehensive replacement of aging parts can save the city on the aircraft carrier.
What happened next is easy to say, and the NAC built a shipyard in front of the town of Willow Nail to produce replacement parts. On the other side, the technicians took turns to board the Bohai in the name of the maintenance site, and only they knew what they were actually doing.
The NAC's actions made the people at the Moby Dick Observatory nervous, but they couldn't fault it. Wu Yue, who was stationed in the sixth block, found Jiang Chen again and again, trying to probe his tone and see what NAC was planning to do.
However, where would Jiang Chen reveal his true intentions to him, he played Tai Chi every time to fool him.
As for whether the protagonist of the whole incident, Liu Nail Town, is willing?
Of course, the high-level leaders of Liuding Town raised their hands to welcome it!
Not only does NAC help them replace parts and refurbish the hull for free, but even gives them hundreds of thousands of credits.
As for whether the NAC development of the navy will threaten the town of Willow Nails?
When the disparity in strength between the two sides reaches a certain level, there is no question of threat or not.
Not to mention the threat, since NAC swept away the xenos in Wanghai City with a thunderous force, Liu Dingzhen has never mentioned the idea of being equal with NAC. Later, Liuding Town was fully integrated into the NAC's credit currency system, and the economy became more and more dependent on the Sixth Block, and the high-level leaders of Liuding Town simply began to buy properties in the Sixth Block, and even regarded themselves as part of the NAC.
In this way, in the name of helping Liuding Town repair ships, NAC built a shipyard on the edge of Wanghai City, trained ship engineers in the name of helping the Bohai overhaul, and knocked a nail on the fat meat in the mouth of the beluga submarine research station.
On the other hand, outposts on the west coast of North America sent messages listing the specialties and lack of resources throughout California.
Inheriting the scientific research achievements of Silicon Valley before the war, the electronics industry here is extremely developed, and the level of drone and robotics technology is far above that of Wushi. The reason for all this is mainly due to the leading technology of electronic chip production in Silicon Valley.
In addition to this, the popularity of power armor in North America has reached a rather terrifying level. Even a raider can DIY a rudimentary set of power armor out of a patchwork of materials. For example, the National Guard, a pre-war militia organization, had a "Minuteman Type 02" power armor for almost every four people, and now there are almost more than one after the war.
Electronic chips, robot accessories, and even power armor are quite promising cargo. Jiang Chen almost did not hesitate, and listed these three products as the key import objects of this trade route across the ocean.
In addition to the advanced electronics industry.
Due to the development of animal husbandry, canned meat in California was even sold as far as South America. And certain radiation-resistant crops that can only be grown on certain soils have made California the breadbasket of the whole of North America.
In such a situation, it is obviously pointless to export food to California, even if the NAC's pre-war food is tastier, but the advantage is not too great, after all, for the survivors in the wasteland, food is the first factor.
As long as it's not like the two-headed cows raised in the sixth block five years ago, the meat tastes like wax, and it's already very happy to have meat to eat, where will you be picky.
It can be seen that the grain trade has little future in North America. However, on the other hand, the development of animal husbandry means that they are quite lacking in spices and condiments.
Crops such as mutated pepper and star anise produced in Hongcheng, as well as various sauces processed in the sixth block, and mireururk crab roe sauce produced in Yizhou Island should have a good market on the west coast of North America.
In addition to spices and condiments, there are also arms. Arms don't go out of style anywhere, and the guns produced by the military factories in the Sixth Block are definitely much more durable than the hand-built rifles of the survivors. Of course, things like mechanical exoskeletons and T3 and 4 power armor Jiang Chen would not casually export out, even if California and Wanghai City were separated by 108,000 miles.
ββ¦β¦ Also, when trading with the locals, remember to keep an eye out for NASA-related things for me. If an advanced spacecraft or the wreckage of a spacecraft is found, let them load it onto a cargo ship and bring it back with trade goods as much as possible. After instructing Chu Nan about the trade, Jiang Chen gave another word of advice at the end.
Although the current NASA was crushed by the Star Ring Trade in all directions, the NASA in this timeline is still quite powerful.
"No problem. β
His boss has a special hobby of collecting spacecraft, which is no secret in the NAC leadership, and Chu Nan didn't feel anything strange, and simply agreed to this request on the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen stretched and leaned back in his boss chair.
With NAC on the right track, there are very few things that require him to do it himself. So much so that the last time he sat in the Marshal's Mansion like this to deal with government affairs, he couldn't remember it clearly.
At this time, Sun Jiao pushed open the door and walked in with coffee. When she saw Jiang Chen leaning on the chair, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but slightly purse a gentle smile, walked behind him with light steps, reached out and pinched his shoulder, and helped him massage it.
"Tired, aren't you? I'll pinch it for you. β
Such a gentle and virtuous action was placed on Sun Jiao, so that Jiang Chen almost didn't react.
"Are you comfortable?" Sun Jiao said with a smile.
In order to confirm that this was not a dream, Jiang Chen raised his head, met the gentle watery gaze, and asked cautiously.
"Did you eat something strange this morning...... Ahh......h Tap. β
The smile on his face did not change, but the murderous aura between his eyebrows soared upward, and the jade finger clasped on his shoulder sank deeply.
Sure enough, this is my Sun Jiao......
Thinking so in his heart, Jiang Chen grinned in pain. If there was an opponent of Xiao Rou or Yao Yao's level behind him, he would roll over and push her down. But at this moment, it was Sun Jiao who was standing behind him, and there were few people in the entire NAC who were her opponents.
Soon, though, the pressure on his shoulders was loosened.
A pair of soft touches wrapped around the back of his head, and Sun Jiao's hands went around his shoulders, hugged his back, and rested her chin on his shoulders
Although there was a lot to say, there were only two words left when it came time to exit.
"Stupid. β
Hearing the murmur in his ear, Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, then smiled, didn't speak, just reached out and held her little hand.
A moment of silence lingered in the room between the two, Sun Jiao bit her lower lip lightly and whispered.
"You're going back tomorrow, aren't you?"
"Hmm. β
ββ¦β¦ I always feel so reluctant to give you up. β
Jiang Chen smiled slightly.
"Stupidβ"
"Brother-in-law~"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a crisp voice outside the door. Sun Jiao quickly dodged away like a rabbit and stood next to Jiang Chen.
The office door was pushed open, and Sun Xiaorou jumped in.
However, as soon as she stepped into the office, she stopped, her eyes wandering suspiciously over Sun Jiao and Jiang Chen.
When she saw the red clouds on her sister's face and the nervous expression, she read the sensational atmosphere in the air, and the corners of her mouth suddenly hooked up a black arc.
"Ah...... Sorry to bother you, you continue~"
"Wait, it's not what you think-" Sun Jiao blushed and hurriedly said.
Without giving her sister a chance to defend herself, Xiaorou stuck out her tongue slyly at Sun Jiao and left the room.
Looking at the direction her sister left, Sun Jiao blushed, gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, and chased out of the door with a red face.
Looking at the dangling door, Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, and shook his head with some tears and laughter.
Looking at the cup of coffee on the table, his heartbeat gradually calmed down, and he couldn't help but ripple a little.
If Xiao Rou hadn't bothered him just now, would he and Sun Jiao have already started to be in the office at this time......
When the two are together, they always seem to have no self-control.
Shaking his head and throwing the beautiful thought out of his mind, Jiang Chen picked up the document from the table that he had thrown aside.
Zhang Yaping's diplomatic visit has ended, and if nothing else, he should have been sitting on the plane back to China by this time.
Starting tomorrow, he'll almost have to go back to preside over the overall situation.
Before that, he had to finish the work at hand...... (To be continued.) )
