Chapter 378: Spiritual Commissar

The search results soon came out, and they were summarized by Wang Zhaowu and reported to Jiang Chen.

A search team of 30 soldiers, consisting of Raider infantry vehicles and two converted trucks, arrived in front of the bombed-out apartment building on the edge of the city centre. After two hours of careful searching, the search team still found a lot of useful information.

From the rubble of the explosion, they found the remains of about 20 sentry machine guns and 2 radar installations. The actual number will certainly be more than that, but that's all I can confirm.

In addition to this, there are some special production equipment, which seems to be used to produce and process some kind of special parts. However, due to the magnitude of the damage, searchers were unable to identify what it was used to produce. Judging from some of the mutated fruits used in the production of nutrient mixtures, there should be traces of human activity here.

Another surprise to the search was that in a buried corner, they found a half-destroyed quantum computer. Judging from the specifications, this quantum computer should be experimental. Although they didn't know if it could be repaired, they still carried it onto the truck.

The helicopters in Liuding Town did not interfere with the search of the target area by the Fish Bone Base, but only hung there from a distance and watched, and did not even send people down.

The only thing that had an impact on the search was a group of corpses that had gathered here because of the noise, and a Roshan that happened to wander here.

However, as they were preparing to retreat, the convoy was attacked by a group of unidentified militants.

The militants, who mostly used laser weapons, launched a surprise attack as the convoy was withdrawing from the rubble. However, the leader of the search team reacted quickly and immediately called for the soldiers to rely on cover to return fire.

The exchange of fire lasted about five minutes. Under the large-caliber machine-gun fire of the Raider infantry vehicles, the fire of the search squad clearly prevailed. After this gang of militants left more than a dozen corpses. Soon they scattered and fled.

When he learned that the search team had found a quantum computer from the ruins, Jiang Chen immediately met with Zhu Zheng, the leader of the team. And personally put on him a knight's medal in recognition of his contribution to the base.

After sending the flattered new knight away, Jiang Chen found Xu Lu, and through her, he found experts in the base who were good at quantum computers to inspect the damaged quantum computer.

Fortunately, according to the expert Xu Lu found, although the hard disk area of this quantum computer has been seriously damaged, the most critical part of the processor is still within the limit of repair. Even with the existing technical conditions in the shelter, it is possible to repair this quantum computer.

Heard the good news. Jiang Chen immediately ordered Xu Lu to mobilize all the resources that could be mobilized and prioritize the repair of the quantum computer. For the scientific team at Vault 27, it was so significant.

In particular, this kind of experimental-grade quantum computer is a treasure that cannot be found in the wasteland.

Although I don't know why Lin Chaoen's guy's station has this thing stored, but in any case, this treasure is now owned by Jiang Chen.

After explaining the matter clearly, Xu Lu left with the elderly quantum computer expert.

Leaning back in the boss's chair, Jiang Chen faced the empty office. Taking a deep breath, he pulled out the half-drafted reform bill.

"Ah, it's more troublesome than you thought."

Throwing the documents on the table, Jiang Chen ruffled his hair as if he were crazy.

In terms of system and law, he has almost planned. There are law talents from the fish bone base to provide reference opinions, combined with the political literacy cultivated when he was a keyboard warrior when he was in college. It took nearly three months to refine a set of rules and regulations that would apply to the wasteland society.

The only trouble is the reform of the command system.

Swept away the pile of papers. Jiang Chen picked up the tablet placed on the corner of the table.

With a swipe of his finger, a column of data appeared in front of his eyes.

"1517 soldiers. 1,000 recruits, 323 knights, huh? Have I honored so many knights? Jiang Chen muttered to himself. The finger continued to slide.

Wang Qing, the minister of logistics, counted all the ordnance information on this list.

Completely clueless.

With a sigh, Jiang Chen stood up and walked out the door

Pushing open the door of the basement, Jiang Chen saw the defeated female colonel again.

Han Junhua's face did not have any expression, like a relief of granite. You can read the outline, but you can't read any emotion.

Facing that emotionless face, Jiang Chen lost his words for a while. What made him feel powerless was not that he couldn't find an entry point to the topic, but that he couldn't find a trace of resentment on her face.

That's right, resentment.

If you don't resent, you don't feel fear. If there is no fear, then there is no such thing as compromise.

Jiang Chen suddenly regretted a little, maybe he shouldn't have chosen that meaningless approach in the first place.

In this bright but dead basement, time passes silently.

"Are you just here to see me?" Han Junhua was the first to break the silence.

"I just don't know what to say." Jiang Chen said in an uncertain tone.

Han Junhua didn't answer, just looked away, as if he had lost interest.

If she's interested in such a thing.

Suddenly, Jiang Chen seemed to understand something.

"I can more or less relate to your feelings."

"Normal people can't experience it." Han Junhua replied quickly.

"I can't experience it under normal conditions." After a pause, Jiang Chen then spoke, "Have you heard of genetic medicine?" I'm sure you've heard that anyone who has injected it can have some kind of special mutation. ”

"Is there a piece of DNA that isn't normally expressed?" Han Junhua asked.

"That's right! Hide the genetic code. Jiang Chen finally remembered the name.

"So what?" Han Junhua looked at Jiang Chen quietly.

"It's hard to have no feelings." Jiang Chen said softly.

After turning on "Wushuang", the hollowness of excising feelings from the body. Although I have only experienced it twice. But no matter how many times I think about it, I can't help but shudder.

Han Junhua looked at Jiang Chen's eyes. "It's not so much uncomfortable as it's empty."

"Because PAC doesn't exist anymore. Is that right? ”

Not out of loyalty to the PAC, nor out of duty, those things had dissipated with the end of her mission the moment she stepped down from her duties as the head of the Vault.

However, it was all of her life.

It was only now that Jiang Chen realized this.

Han Junhua didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically, "Have you heard of the Spiritual Commissar Project?" ”

Jiang Chen shook his head.

"Engrave thoughts with electricity, write creeds into the soul." Han Junhua continued.

"Electricity? Are you cyborg? Jiang Chen frowned.

"It's not. The Spiritual Commissar is aimed at the living. In the military, it is jokingly called the officer mass production program. To put it simply, it is to write things like thoughts into the brain like a program. The commanders who have passed the plan are absolutely correct in their thinking, and no matter what kind of embarrassment they face, they will not make wrong judgments because of their personal emotions, nor will they have a psychological burden because of the results of their judgments. Often, we are used to perform some shady tasks. For example, the suppression of the insurgents and the purging of the instigated. Han Junhua said softly.

Jiang Chen was stunned and couldn't help but hold his breath.

He's seen what he wants to turn into a human brain, and now he's got a picture of what he wants to turn a human brain into a computer.

"It's really," he couldn't think of a word to describe.

Evil?

No, there is nothing more evil than nuclear weapons. The moment when the war happened. All morals and bottom lines will turn into jokes. In the information age, history may not necessarily be written by the victors, but only the victors are qualified to judge history.

For him, who was born in a time of peace, it was impossible to understand the resoluteness that people faced at that time.

"Don't sympathize with me. All those who join the Psychic Commissar program are voluntary. Han Junhua said lightly.

There was no regret on her face, but her eyes gradually became a little lonely.

"Only, when the final task is done. I don't know what to do anymore. ”

Looking at the expressionless female colonel, Jiang Chen fell silent.

From the very beginning he misunderstood her persistence.

"Let's make a deal."

Han Junhua looked at Jiang Chen with an inquiring gaze.

"Feelings, right? I'm not a scientist though. But I believe that science will solve this problem. You help me realize my ambitions, and I help you get back what you are missing. How is it? Jiang Chen looked into her eyes seriously and said.

"Implant a new psychic commissar in the brain? I guess maybe not that kind of thing I need. ”

"No, it's to regain the same feelings as normal people." Jiang Chen shook his head.

Han Junhua fell into a brief silence.

"How can I trust you?"

"Even if you don't believe me, there's no better option, is there?" Jiang Chen said seriously.

"What I'm asking is, how do I trust you to do it."

"Is that hard to do?" Jiang Chen asked.

"At the time of the operation, my commander had already told me that I would be more machine-like than a cyborg. Even if the war is won and everyone has a happy ending, I can't help but get more comfort than honor. Han Junhua said softly.

"Even with the most advanced technology before the war, can't you dismiss the spiritual commissar?" Jiang Chen asked in a deep voice.

Han Junhua shook his head.

"Then you should choose me even more." Jiang Chen snapped his fingers with a smile.

Han Junhua turned his inquiring gaze to him.

"I will restore order to this wasteland, and the scientific research system will be rebuilt. Even if the technology of the 22nd century cannot solve your problems, I believe that in the distant 23rd, 24th, and even 25th centuries, your problems will be solved one day. When it's all over, I'll put you in a dormant chamber and go to the future. Looking directly into her eyes, Jiang Chen said seriously.

She closed her eyes and thought for a long time.

After a long time, she opened her eyes.

"You convinced me." (To be continued.) )
