Chapter 166: Red Steel
Inside the shelter.
In the dim light, the cramped room, the exhaust fan rustled and worked, and Shigetomo Mishima and others brought some clothes from the cruise ship and changed the soaked overalls.
The room was very basic, with only five bunk iron beds that could provide 10 beds, and a large iron cabinet with an empty inside.
There are also safety signs on the walls, a ticking plastic wall clock.
"Yamanaka, why can Huakoku's mobile phone be used in bad weather," asked Dainori Muto, lying on his bed.
Yamanaka Silver, who was cutting fruit, handed a few apples to everyone in the room before replying: "It's a kind of satellite communication unique to China, and it seems to be a global communication using the terahertz band." β
Muto Dainori was stunned for a moment, and directly sat up and asked, "Wouldn't it be the star communication service that the president didn't buy last time?"
"That's it."
"Bagaya Road, I must buy a terahertz mobile phone when I go back."
Yamanaka shrugged and said: "Terahertz mobile phones do not have a communication license in Dongying, you can only use them on the high seas when you buy them, and you need to go over the wall to log in to domestic websites." β
"Nani"
Yamanaka explained: "Because terahertz communication only has the Internet in China, it has a direct access to the network, and I heard that if you are in an area with a base station, you can also use brainwave glasses to access the virtual world." β
"Buy, it's a big deal, I'll go to the Internet in China."
In fact, for the crew of the perennial sea, terahertz communication is more convenient, not only the network speed is fast, but also the high seas of the world can be used.
Moreover, terahertz communication is not only available in China, but also in countries that have opened their licenses. Remember [Seven or Eight Chinese Network ΡΡΡ.78zΡ.coΠΌ] in one second to read for free without pop-ups!
The key is that terahertz communications can still be used in extreme weather.
As today, the Iridium satellite communication system cannot be used, and no one wants to bear the feeling of being dazed and helpless.
There was a sound of footsteps at the door, the iron door of the evacuation room was opened, and Mishima, who had just gone to the hallway to smoke, walked in.
"Muto, bring a few people, let's go buy some emergency food and mineral water."
"Captain Mishima, see if there are any cigarettes." Yamanaka said as he took out 50 US dollars and handed it to Mishima.
"Okay, let's go!"
In the hallway, Mishima and Dainori Muto walked towards the south side of the shelter, and the journey was very monotonous, and they were all similar evacuation rooms.
Many others followed them, walking towards the south side of the vault.
Out of the hall of the shelter was a concrete and stone road with buildings built to keep out the wind and rain, and if it weren't for some glass windows on both sides, they would have thought it was a tunnel.
Of course, the people who go to buy emergency food are foreigners, and Chinese citizens can receive emergency food and drinking water for free.
After walking for about a kilometer, Mishima and the others came to a reserve warehouse, and many people were waiting in line.
The Sapphire Princess has 634 passengers, except for 46 Chinese citizens, including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, the rest are foreign nationals, and they can only buy emergency food and drinking water.
As for the food and water on the Sapphire Princess, until the typhoon passed, except for the five remaining crew members, no one else could stay on it.
Even when food was taken down, the shelter didn't have a kitchen for them to use.
Not far away, on the counter, there is a large screen scrolling with rows of notices in Chinese and English.
There are also two phone booths on the side, which can provide international long-distance service, which are actually two small container houses with two terahertz mobile phones.
After a while, it was Mishima's turn and the others.
"What to buy," the temporary salesman asked.
"I want to buy emergency food for 10 people, how much"
"A serving of 50 can serve one meal for one person."
Mishima is thinking about the current situation, it is almost night, and it will take at least the 27th for the typhoon to pass.
"We buy 60 servings of emergency food."
"Okay, 3,000 yuan."
Mishima paid 500 US dollars, five boxes of emergency food appeared in front of them, and ten bottles of drinking water were also taken.
As for cigarettes, of course there are none.
Carrying cardboard boxes and drinking water, they followed the previous passage, ready to return to the shelter.
Hey, Muto Daino inadvertently looked out the window, and he couldn't help but be attracted by what was outside.
"Muto, what to see"
Muto put down the three cardboard boxes, pointed out the glass window, and said incredulously, "Mecha!" β
Mecha Mishima turned his head and couldn't help but stop, he blinked his eyes quickly, and rubbed his hands together.
"It's true."
Not far from the shelter, on the side near the shelter, five exoskeleton armors about 2.7 meters high walked smoothly in the storm.
The typhoon's more than a dozen winds did not affect the soldiers equipped with exoskeleton armor, and they were still patrolling.
The exoskeleton armor resembles a miniature version of the one-eyed Zagu, with a black livery and a red star on the mechanical arm, with a red code underneath the red star emblem.
However, due to the interference of the storm, Mishima and the others did not read the code clearly, but the equipment equipped with Gatling, assault rifles, grenades and other equipment on it was quite obvious.
Muto picked up his mobile phone and was about to take pictures, Mishima's eyes changed, and he hurriedly reprimanded in a low voice: "Muto don't take pictures." β
Forehead......
Muto, who reacted, suddenly looked around with a weak heart, and sure enough, there were many surveillance cameras on the passage, and the cold sweat on his forehead came down.
However, he was stunned immediately, because there were also people taking pictures not far away.
In fact, Mishima and the others didn't know that their every move was under the monitoring of the Huayang Reef base, and Zhang Wei received an order to deliberately arrange exoskeleton armored soldiers to patrol here.
The purpose is, of course, to show muscles, not only to let Western countries know, but also to let the surrounding Southeast Asia see what the torrent of red steel is.
Mishima looked at it for a while and had already observed that the flexibility and stability of these "mechas" were very good, and they could still walk smoothly in such a strong storm.
As for other things, he can't see anything, after all, weapons and equipment are such things, and no one can get the details of the other party without real swords and guns.
One kilometer of passage, Mishima and his party saw three batches of exoskeleton armored warriors passing by, each time in a group of five.
I couldn't bear it, and secretly took a few photos.
Back to the evacuation room.
"Silver, show you something good." Muto Dainori mysteriously took out his mobile phone and said.
Could it be...... Yamanaka Silver raised his eyebrows: "There are new works again"
"You know it when you see it."
Something mysteriously and secretly, Yamanaka Silver took the phone and looked at it, and then sneered: "Don't you like Zagu?"
"You see, this place."
"See clearly" Yamanaka looked carefully at the background, only to find that these "Zagu" were on the safe harbor of Huayang Reef, and the background of one of the photos was still next to the Sapphire Princess.
Yamanaka asked in disbelief: "Look at the joke, when did you PS it?"
"I don't believe you can go to the south passage later, these mechs are patrolling over there, and the captain has seen it."
The unbelieving Yamanaka Silver and two other crew members ran out.
Half an hour later, they returned to the shelter in a daze, apparently having a great impact on their hearts.
