Volume 1, First Pot of Gold, Chapter 706, A Glimpse of the Far Sea

Next chapter

Pushing open the door, the north wind blew snowflakes on the ground.

Jiang Chen closed the door, hung his winter suit on the wall, and walked towards the Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute.

Compared with the "small workshop" in the past, the current Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute can undoubtedly be called like that. Spacious vestibule, five-storey building. While there is still a shortage of researchers, at least there is a lot more space.

I went straight to Jiang Lin's room, and saw that he was messing with several researchers in white coats, around a two-person oil drum.

Walking forward, Jiang Chen looked at the oil drum for a moment and asked out loud.

"What is this?"

"The Messenger, a space telescope belonging to the Pan-Asian Cooperation, can observe primordial galaxies as far as 13.8 billion light-years from Earth, capturing the light at the beginning of the Big Bang. It can directly observe galaxies within 1-50 light years and take pictures of planetary geomorphology. You can also observe black holes, dark matter, and so on......" Putting aside the matter at hand, Jiang Lin explained to Jiang Chen.

"Good guy, where did you get this thing?" staring at this thing, Jiang Chen asked with interest

"The Zhao Group got it, and it is said that it was from the Taipei Space Launch Base. The space telescope was originally intended to explore extraterrestrial civilizations, but before it could be put into use, World War III broke out, so it was transported to a shelter in Taipei...... You told me to collect a piece of equipment related to aerospace, so I bought it. ”

"How much?"

"10000 credits. Jiang Lin shrugged.

10,000 credits is a lot of money for the average person, but it's nothing for NAC. If it is placed in front of the station, the cost of this space telescope will cost tens of billions of pan-Asian dollars, and now, it is worth more than 1,000 cans.

"Good value for money, you're doing a good job. Jiang Chen smiled, and then looked at this thing a few more times, "How about it, can this thing be repaired?"

"This thing isn't broken, it's just not finished yet. The survivors in Taipei sold us the design drawings and ground monitoring equipment, as long as they digested the technology, made the remaining parts, and installed them. ”

Once this space telescope is completed and launched by Ring Trade, the mystery of Planet Hunter and Gliese 581g will also be completely unveiled by Ring Trade. Only by being able to see with one's own eyes where one's enemies are, can the Earth civilization be considered to have the possibility of fighting against it.

After instructing Jiang Lin to complete the space telescope, Jiang Chen left the Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology, and on the way to the community center, he happened to bump into Wang Qing, who was looking for him.

Judging from her expression, she should have looked like she was in a hurry.

"Is there something wrong?" stopped and Jiang Chen looked at her and asked.

Wang Qing nodded.

"There was a call for help from the town of Willow Nails. ”

"Willow Nail Town?"

With the increasing economic exchanges, although the town of Liuding is still independent of the NAC-dominated order of Wanghai City, it has now become a vassal of the NAC. For no other reason, no matter how strong its air force and long-range firepower is, its roots are ultimately at sea, and many things are heavily imported from survivor bases on shore.

Think about it, what industry can a place the size of an aircraft carrier support?

More and more small and medium-sized survivor settlements are looking forward to order in the area under the NAC, and as trade with the Sixth District becomes closer, they simply apply to join the NAC's economic zone and accept the protection of the NAC junta, which can also save a lot of tariffs and military spending. These include the beer bottle company that supplies ammunition to Willow Nails, and the harbor towns that trade closely with Willow Nails......

For these small and medium-sized survivor settlements, the NAC grants them a high degree of autonomy, with the only requirement being to abide by the constitution designated by the NAC, pay taxes to the NAC in accordance with the charter, and so on.

All the younger brothers took refuge in NAC, and Liu Nail Town naturally became NAC's younger brother. Although unwilling to accept this fact, after several internal meetings in Willow Nail Town, under the leadership of the capitalists led by Tang Miya, Willow Nail Town and the NAC signed a defense alliance agreement symbolizing friendship.

The NAC is of course obliged to respond to the call for help from Willow Nail Town.

It's just that Jiang Chen didn't expect that he would come back so temporarily, and he would actually encounter this kind of incident.

"Who is the enemy?" Jiang Chen asked as he looked at Wang Qing.

"I'm not sure if it's an enemy ......," Wang Qing shook his head, "A destroyer has appeared near the Bohai aircraft carrier, and it has been hovering five kilometers away from the port of Wanghai City. Unsure of whether the other party is hostile, Liu Dingzhen has been nervous to deal with it these days. ”

Destroyer?

Jiang Chen frowned slightly.

What worries him is not the destroyer, but the new forces that appear in the waters near Wanghai City. To be able to have a destroyer, it must not be a small shrimp. Whether this destroyer was inherited from the station or built by themselves, it is enough to prove that they are not easy to deal with.

And the most incredible thing for him is that someone can sail freely on the dangerous deep sea?

Jiang Chen had heard Zhao Chenwu say that the Zhao Group had a small fleet, but basically they didn't dare to leave the shallow sea, and only dared to sail along the land. The monsters of the sea are more than a hundred times more terrifying than those on land.

In addition to the polarized and extremely mutated creatures, the strongest on land is the Mother of Deathclaws, walking on her stomach in front of the Type 50 electromagnetic cannon. In the ocean, both the upper and lower limits are unknown.

After all, the two species are not on the same order of magnitude in terms of number, density, or volume. Not to mention anything else, a mutated blue whale is almost the size of a Bohai aircraft carrier. Jiang Chen had seen the photo of the mutated blue whale, which was taken by a businessman who went to the Japanese country, and the volume of the swallowing mountains and rivers really made people unable to think of what kind of weapon to use to defeat it.

"Have you been in contact with anyone on the destroyer?"

"They tried to reach out, but the other side seemed to have a negative attitude towards the conversation. ”

I don't want to start a conversation, just wandering near the open sea?

It is obvious that the Liuding side will feel nervous, the distance between the two sides is too close, and any miscalculation may lead to misfire. When the time came, the destroyer on the opposite side hit with a cannon, and the Bohai Sea, whose engine had been broken for more than 20 years, could not even dodge.

"What do you mean by Willow Nail Town?" Jiang Chen asked.

"They want us to travel to the mutual defense pact. Wang Qing said.

Jiang Chen nodded, pondered for a moment and said.

"A battalion of troops from the First Corps was deployed on Hengsha Island, and an engineering team was sent to build forts and fortifications on Hengsha Island. ”

"Hengsha Island is outside the jurisdiction of the NAC, there are two xenomorph nests in the local area, do you want to send troops directly into it?" asked Wang Qing.

"Xenomorph lair? It just so happens that the NAC's artillery hasn't been in a military exercise for a long time. A thousand incendiary rounds washed the ground before entering the area. Jiang Chen waved his hand and ordered.

"Yes!" Wang Qing saluted and took the order. (To be continued.) )
