Chapter 167: After the Storm
The storm outside did not affect the inside of the shelter, and in the humble rooms, the land gave humans a sense of security that the sea could not bring.
Yamanaka Silver spread out a bag of emergency food, the contents were very simple, 2 compressed biscuits, 1 packet of vitamin drink powder, 1 self-heating curry mashed potatoes, 1 packet of bean paste, 1 energy bar, and 2 plum candy.
The pale yellow vitamin powder, and then waited for the curry mashed potatoes to heat up, and he nibbled on the compressed biscuits as he waited.
"Captain Mishima, is this a military base in China?"
Mishima thought for a moment and replied, "Maybe! ”
"Silver, believe it now!" Dainori Muto said as he ate mashed potatoes.
Yamanaka Silver was both excited and sad: "It's so cool, it's a pity that the Self-Defense Forces can't equip ......"
Mishima, who was immersed in eating, trembled slightly, and then returned to normal, in fact, his heart was not as calm as it seemed.
He served on a destroyer of the Toei Self-Defense Force, and after retiring in 2003, he joined Gangko Co., Ltd., where the Sapphire Princess was located.
Around 2000, China was still lagging behind the world at that time, but now it is completely different.
In just a few decades, it has become a world-class power, and Dongying has also experienced a period of rapid development.
It's a pity that with the signing of the Plaza Agreement, Dongying lost 20 years, the semiconductor industry was snatched away by Korea and the United States, and the electrical industry was also squeezed by the rising star Huaguo.
In recent years, the situation has become even more unoptimistic, and Huaguo's comprehensive strengthening in semiconductors has overwhelmed Dongying's only remaining semiconductor equipment and raw materials.
Moreover, the comprehensive rise of Huaguo Semiconductor has brought another effect, that is, the Huaguo electrical appliance industry is also following the upgrading, and Dongying Electric, which could have eaten some high-end product markets, has become more difficult.
Another pillar industry, automobiles, is also facing strong competition from Huaguo's electric vehicles.
Judging from the comparison of GDP in 2014, the first place is still the world's hegemon of 16.3 trillion US dollars, the second place is Huaguo's 12.3 trillion US dollars, and the third place is Dongying's 5.8 trillion US dollars.
It seems that the United States is still strong, but in fact, the economic growth of the United States last year was 0.2%, while the direct negative growth of Dongying was 2.4%.
Thanks to the rise of the four pillar industries of semiconductors, virtual worlds, terahertz communications, and high-energy batteries and electric vehicles, Huaguo's economic growth rate reached 19.7% last year.
Coupled with the rapid growth in 12 and 13 years, the scale of the economy has grown by 43% in three years, and it is estimated that it can still maintain a growth rate of more than 10% this year.
This is still the result of the desperate suppression of the United States, if it is not suppressed, it is estimated that it can become the world's largest economy around 2018.
Captain Mishima sighed bitterly in his heart, the world is changing too fast, and it is really difficult for Toei to survive in the cracks.
Today, his worldview has been greatly impacted, and the impression that the United States has always been invincible has once again been shaken.
After eating the curry potatoes in a hurry, Mishima lay on the bed, but he couldn't calm his heart throbbing for a long time.
Depressed, he put on his shirt and walked down the corridor alone without waking the others.
In the dimly lit corridor, it was the dead of night at this time, walking in the long passageway, the crackling rain clicked on the glass windows.
Through the glass window, the exoskeleton armored warrior with a flashing red indicator light is still patrolling unswervingly.
A box of cigarettes was taken out of his trouser pocket, it was a box of captains produced by Toei, and there were only two remaining fruits in it.
The flame of the lighter lit one of the cigarettes and took a hard puff, the heavy smell of tobacco mixed with a hint of tea bitterness.
Call! As the cigarette exhaled from his lungs, there was a hint of sweetness similar to tea leaves, and he quietly smoked a cigarette while looking out the window at the exoskeleton armored patrol.
As the last bit of smoke burned out, an endless loneliness surged into his heart, and Mishima was like a lonely ghost, and the whole person suddenly felt lost.
Suddenly, he made his way to the afternoon sales warehouse, wandering aimlessly along Mishima until he saw the two makeshift phone booths.
"Can I use the Internet in the phone booth?"
The salesperson who was busy counting the supplies did not raise his head and pointed to the big screen on the side: "There is an operation guide in English." ”
"Hey! Ariador! Mishima bowed slightly, then turned his head to look at the big screen carefully.
He read very carefully, more carefully than when he was admitted to university, Mishima didn't seem to want to give up any words, and he read the Chinese version.
Hey, you can go to the virtual network
When I opened the temporary phone booth, there was an iron bed inside, and a glass case was placed next to it, somewhat similar to a vending machine.
After 50 US dollars were inserted from the coin slot, a box automatically protruded from the cabinet with a pair of brainwave glasses inside.
Mishima took the brainwave glasses, walked to the bed and lay down, put the brainwave glasses on, and then his eyes went dark, and in the chaos, he entered a new world.
However, because he entered the Nanke Dream Realm as a tourist, he could only move in the designated area, and many functions were also restricted. Remember [Seven or Eight Chinese Network щщщ.78zщ.coм] in one second to read for free without pop-ups!
After lingering for more than three hours, he came to a virtual library before he knew it.
Library of Truth
Gently pushing open the door, the library was empty, as if in a stand-alone world, with rows of books displayed on the shelves.
Suddenly, Mishima stopped in front of a bookshelf.
These books are very few forbidden books in Dongying, and he even saw a Japanese version of Mao Xuan, pulled the books out of the shelves, and summoned a set of tables and chairs.
Flipping through the pages, most of the night has passed before I know it, and Mishima has not slept all night, just reading quietly.
It wasn't until the brainwave glasses automatically reminded him that he only had ten minutes left to go online that Mishima woke up from his contemplation.
After coming to his senses, he took a deep look at the red star on the cover, as if to engrave it in the depths of his heart.
Click Downline.
He opened his eyes and returned to the real world again, but he had a feeling of being reborn, and all his doubts in the past suddenly became clear.
"Maybe that's my calling." Mishima whispered to himself.
He stood up and moved his body, returned his brainwave glasses, and paid 50 US dollars for the knife, and then returned to the shelter.
In response to Muto and Yamanaka Gin's inquiry about where they went last night, Mishima shy away from the situation and said lightly that he had gone to experience the virtual world once, and then fooled the matter over.
As for the spark that was burning in his heart, Mishima had no intention of telling anyone else for the time being, there were too few like-minded people in Toying.
However, he is already planning to buy a terahertz mobile phone, which is on the high seas and can directly log in to the Chinese Internet.
Typhoon Whale finally left the waters of the Nansha Islands at noon on June 27 and headed for Qiongzhou in the north.
The crew and passengers, who had eaten several meals of emergency food, couldn't wait to return to the Sapphire Princess and go through the relevant procedures.
The Sapphire Princess whistled to greet Huayang Reef and then followed its route to Siam.
And the news that Huaguo is equipped with exoskeleton armor has also spread all over the world with the departure of the Sapphire Princess.
For a time, relevant institutions around the world received the news of exoskeleton armor.
