On the spacious freight elevator, there are ten figures.

"What is this?" asked Han Junhua, pinching the small dark green crystal with his fingers.

"Metacrystals, in combination with special energy extraction devices, can be used as a substitute for the core of nuclear fusion. Staring at the speeding wall outside the elevator, Jiang Chen replied in a relaxed tone.

"It's hard to imagine how much energy such a gadget would store. Staring at the reflection on the faint blue crystal face, Han Junhua muttered to himself.

Jiang Chen glanced at her and didn't answer.

Behind him are eight soldiers wearing mechanical exoskeletons, carefully alerting them to possible dangers.

However, the expression on Jiang Chen's face looked very relaxed.

Just ten minutes ago, he reached an agreement with Han Junhua.

Originally, he thought that this inhuman chick would ask him for a lot of benefits, but it turned out that he was too worried.

Although this agreement was proposed by her, it was much more beneficial for the Fish Bone Base.

The agreement reads as follows:

First the doors of Vault 027 are permanently open, nominally surrendering to the Fishbone base. 027 Vault has pledged to maintain only the current size of the security forces, and not to expand its armaments. The Fishbone Base will also cease the invasion and maintain a safe distance from Vault 027.

The two sides will trade, with the Fishbone Base providing the energy and other supplies needed to run the Vault, and the Vault will exist as a scientific research facility to provide technical support to the Fishbone Base.

At the same time, the Fishbone Base will be responsible for building a camp on the surface directly above the Vault to accommodate the Vault's excess residents. The Vault has a high degree of autonomy over the camp, and the defense of the camp is entirely undertaken by the Fishbone Base.

In addition, Jiang Chen will send an emissary and several staff members to be stationed in the 027 Vault, responsible for liaison and communication, and registering the required materials.

At the same time, Vault 027 will also send an emissary to the Fish Bone Base. Conduct a long-term assessment of the human rights situation at the Fish Bone Base. Once enough trust has been established, Vault 027 is to be gradually incorporated into the Fishbone Base.

In fact, it doesn't matter if it's not annexed, this treaty has been announced, and 027 Vault will become a vassal of the Fishbone Base.

A vassal who keeps a safe distance from the overlord.

A slight feeling of overweight came from the soles of my feet, and the elevator was almost to the end.

"I don't understand, this agreement seems to be very bad for you?" Jiang Chen asked casually.

It's basically equivalent to completely taking refuge in the fish bone base.

The only difference from being fully occupied is that the soldiers of the Fishbone Base are not allowed to enter the Vault. But if the only exit from the shelter is controlled, it doesn't make much difference whether to enter or not.

"The original intention of the sanctuary was to preserve the fire of civilization, wait for the environmental conditions to improve, and establish a colony on the ruins. And not for the sake of returning to the surface, to establish hegemony over the heads of the unfortunate. ”

If the Fishbone Base can carry out its mission in place of Vault 027, and indeed it is more capable of completing this mission than Vault 027, then it is not impossible for Vault 027 to be merged into Fishbone Base.

Of course, only if they keep their promises. Guarantee the personal freedom and safety of the residents of the shelters.

And this trust can only be built over time.

"Your rhetoric is a bit special, that Shi Yongtian didn't say that to me. Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"It was my mistake to send him to the surface. Han Junhua admitted very calmly.

If the image of the PAC has collapsed in the minds of the survivors, it would be a bit comical to send a high-ranking PAC official as a lobbyist. But she can't be blamed either, who would have thought that this war would end like this?

The elevator was stable, Jiang Chen motioned for the soldiers to stay there, and walked to the gear-shaped door panel with Han Junhua.

Walk to the door of the shelter. Han Junhua ripped off a data cable from the door panel and plugged it into his EP.

"How's the negotiation?" Tian Feng asked a little nervously.

"It went well. Open the door. ”

Hearing Han Junhua's instructions, Tian Feng breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand to signal the staff in the control room to activate the door of the shelter.

The dust kicks up, and the gear-like door panel slowly rolls sideways, revealing the walkway behind it.

The drawbridge is pulled by a robotic arm to form a path that connects the entrance to the vault and the interior.

"It's unimaginable. There is such a space a thousand meters below the surface. ”

"Do you want to go in and have a look?" asked Han Junhua casually.

Although he was very interested in visiting, Jiang Chen still shook his head.

"No, just at the door. ”

Just kidding, if I go in, who knows if you're going to suddenly turn around and kidnap me?

"Your concerns. That's what we're concerned about. ”

"Oh, how do you say that?" Jiang Chen looked at Han Junhua with interest.

"You don't dare to come in, just like we don't dare to let you in, don't you?" Han Junhua said in a flat tone.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen was stunned, and then laughed.

The soldiers standing behind him were a little confused, they couldn't understand why the leader suddenly laughed.

The several PAC soldiers who were waiting in the shelter were also full of confusion, looking nervously at Jiang Chen who was standing beside Han Junhua.

"You're a very interesting person. Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders and grinned.

"It's a real surprise, even I think I'm a boring person. The corners of his mouth were forcibly hooked under the traction of his muscles, and Han Junhua left this sentence and walked towards the shelter.

Didn't wait long at the door.

Soon, Han Junhua walked out with two agreements that had been drafted.

With just a cursory glance, Jiang Chen signed his name on the two agreements. Each party shall hold one copy, and the agreement shall take effect on the date of signing.

Jiang Chen noticed that when he signed this "surrender document", the middle-aged man standing behind Han Junhua looked at him with suspicion and hatred in his eyes.

However, Jiang Chen didn't say anything about this, just smiled indifferently, and then put away his own contract.

Before boarding the elevator back to the surface, Jiang Chen turned to look at Han Junhua, who was sending him to the elevator.

"The representatives of the Fish Bone Base will arrive tomorrow, and the first batch of supplies will arrive the day after tomorrow, I hope you won't suddenly close the door with the subcrystal, or I might blow up this hole if I get angry. Jiang Chen said in a joking tone.

"We will keep our promises, please don't use this kind of intimidating joke to test our already fragile relationship of trust. Han Junhua said.

"Haha, don't think too much, it's just a joke. I am sure that you will keep your promises. Jiang Chen said with a smile, and at the same time boarded the elevator and pressed the start button on the control panel.

"There will be a period later. ”

"Goodbye. ”

Watching the elevator rise, Han Junhua turned around and walked towards the shelter.

On the way back to the office, she could feel the sight of her around her filled with suspicion and distrust.

This is understandable, after all, a few minutes ago, she "sold" the shelter to that person named Jiang Chen.

Sitting on that chair, facing the deserted room, she suddenly sighed.

From today, all residents of the shelter will be able to return to the surface, enjoy unlimited UV exposure, and breathe freely.

Except for her.

Choosing to use yourself as a deterrent switch is tantamount to giving up the opportunity to return to the surface.

At least until enough trust is built.

Suddenly I felt so tired

Han Junhua slowly lay on the table and took a nap after a long absence. (To be continued......)
