On the way to the interstellar age, there are many technologies that belong to the pre-technology of interstellar travel. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info such as controllable nuclear fusion, warp engines, shield technology, high-powered energy weapons, and more.

Because of the differences in the form of ideology, there are considerable differences in the emphasis of science and technology trees in various countries. For example, in terms of shield technology, pan-Asian cooperation is undoubtedly at the forefront of the world.

And the Aegis system is one of the representatives.

Built in 2147, the city's defense system was updated countless times over the decades before finally bringing the entire city of Wanghai into the protective cover. Although the Aegis system was unable to fully withstand the bombardment of the Scepter of God due to the technical limitations of the technology itself, it still bought citizens valuable time to enter the Vault.

In the virtual reality game where he met Lin Ling, Jiang Chen had seen that scene.

Waterfall-like pillars of light poured into the city's dome, and countless particles of light flew in the sky. If you don't think about the meaning behind it, it is indeed beautiful.

"Holy shield system, of course I've heard of it, is there any problem?" Jiang Chen took a sip of steaming black tea, looked at Lu Minghui and asked thoughtfully.

"I believe Mr. Marshal has noticed that nuclear winter is coming. Soon the entire land will be covered in snow and ice, and even the strongest, toughest xenos will have to change their habits and migrate underground or south. After saying this, Lu Minghui looked at Jiang Chen, "It's the same for us humans, this land will no longer be suitable for us to live." ”

After listening to his words, Jiang Chen smiled and said half-jokingly.

"So, you're going to find us and order a colony ship to fly into space?"

"Of course not. Lu Minghui shook his head, "Although we believe in apocalypticism, we are not outright escapists. Unless forced by life, I don't think anyone is born with the desire to flee their homeland. ”

"And what is your proposal?"

"The Aegis system is key to dealing with a nuclear winter. Staring at Jiang Chen's eyes, Lu Minghui continued, "In the first three years, the Aegis system was originally designed to deal with natural disasters such as typhoons. It was only after the economic crisis that the Pan-Asian Cooperation added a strategic defense function to it. ”

The bishop's words surprised Jiang Chen.

The original design intention of this holy shield was not to shield cannons and missiles, but to shield typhoons?!

I see......

In this way, the treasure mentioned in the declaration of war that the Northern Conjunction District had sent a long time ago was actually referring to the Holy Shield.

"I remember it was ruined. Recalling what he saw in the virtual reality, Jiang Chen said softly.

"It's not ruined, it's just overloaded! It's the same as being destroyed, but at least it's not bad enough to be repaired. We got the blueprints from the backup server of the National Defense Research Institute in Shangjing, and it shouldn't be difficult to fix it with a little time. ”

Lu Minghui's words made Jiang Chen's eyes light up.

Noticing the look of interest on his face, Lu Minghui smiled slightly, and continued with a blazing gaze.

"As long as the Aegis system is reactivated, we will be able to isolate the entire city of Wanghai from the wasteland. As long as the energy input is maintained, a nuclear winter is nothing at all!"

"It's if you can keep the energy input. Jiang Chen's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, "Have you considered the source of energy?"

"There's no way to get helium-3, but the deuterium-tritium reaction is also a good option. Deuterium tritium is abundant in the ocean, and even if it is not environmentally friendly, no one cares about it now. Lu Minghui said.

Compared with the subway plan of the Hangzhou Merchants' Federation, the resumption of the holy shield proposed by the Shangjing Dusk Church is obviously more reliable. Move all the factories in the sixth block underground? What are you kidding? Production machinery and workshops are not tables, the kind that can be moved and left anywhere.

Looking at the growing snow outside the window, Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze from the window and cast his gaze at the white mist rising above the teacup.

"Your offer convinced me, but I have one more question. ”

"Excuse me. ”

"Shangjing City also has a city defense system similar to the Holy Shield, why did you choose Wanghai City instead of Shangjing City, your current base?" Jiang Chen asked the doubts in his heart.

Not surprised by Jiang Chen's question, Lu Minghui made a helpless expression and explained to him: "Shangjing was one of the political centers of pan-Asian cooperation before the war, and the number of shelters was also the largest in the whole of Pan-Asia. This means that when the war is over, it will be much more chaotic than it is elsewhere. The survivors are divided into factions and have an intricate web of relationships. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Minghui paused and sighed.

"Crucially, the local survivor community is far more xenophobic than we could have imagined. Even after a few years of migrating to Shangjing, we still can't gain their trust. Now that the nuclear winter is approaching, the strain for survival materials is increasing, and the relationship between the various survivor forces has deteriorated to an unimaginable extent. ”

"That's why you chose us. Jiang Chen smiled and said.

"That's right. Lu Minghui said seriously.

During the negotiations, the bishop had shown enough sincerity, but Jiang Chen was not in a hurry to give him an answer.

"The so-called covenant is a reciprocal alliance. I'm not going to beat around the bush, we can fix the Aegis system ourselves, so what benefit can we get from the alliance with you?"

"The Northern United Nations is also our feud, and we are willing to work with you to fight the threat from the United States. In addition, we will present you with a tribute that I am sure you will be interested in. ”

Jiang Chen noticed that Lu Minghui used the word tribute very interestingly, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked with interest.

"Oh, what?"

"Electric ray X-1, small multi-purpose aerospace aircraft...... samples. If the rumors are true, I believe that this 'work of art' from the Jiuquan launch will definitely satisfy you. Lu Minghui said respectfully.

……

The Covenant was successfully concluded.

For Jiang Chen, the electric ray X-1 was a surprise. But even without that thing, Jiang Chen would consider forming an alliance with this branch of the Twilight Church.

According to Sun Xiaorou, this branch belongs to the Tomb Keeper Sect in the Twilight Church, and it is two very different extremes from the escapism advocated by Boyu. The doctrinal differences also made the relationship between the two sides not so harmonious, so the two sides parted ways when they migrated. One went down the river, and the other went to Shangjing.

Compared with the brainwashed sectarian lunatics led by Bo Yu, the followers of this Tomb Keeper Sect are also much more pragmatic. Jiang Chen promised that after the reactivation of the Holy Shield, he would demarcate an autonomous region for them in Wanghai City, allowing them to preserve their own traditions and make their own laws on the basis of the NAC Constitution.

After the conclusion of the Covenant, the Tomb Keepers Sect of the Twilight Church in Shangjing City will send 5,000 troops south to Wushi to support the 2nd NAC Division in the fight against the threat from the Northern Unified Region.

After the threat of the United Nations Zone is lifted, the two sides agreed to immediately launch the "Restart Aegis" program to deal with the intensifying nuclear winter...... (To be continued.) )
