Things were indeed as Chen Xin expected, they advanced all the way to the three towns, and both the inspection and defense became tighter.

The first checkpoint was set up at the highway toll station in the past, although Yanguo had already canceled the toll of ordinary national and provincial roads, but these toll stations built back then were not all demolished, and now they just came in handy.

Compared with the checkpoint in Xianning, the inspection here is obviously much more rigorous, and the people who came up to inspect were not ordinary inspectors, but police, and even Chen Xin unexpectedly saw a police dog wrapped in a thick padded jacket.

This is the only living animal Chen Xin has seen in the past six months, except for bread worms, fish and mice.

Although he doesn't usually like pets such as cats and dogs, when he saw this police dog, Chen Xin suddenly had the urge to pet the dog.

However, the police dog is a police dog in the end, and there is no behavior such as being coquettish and cute, as soon as he got into Chen Xin's car, he began to sniff around, searching for any suspicious dangerous objects or contraband.

However, Chen Xin's car was very clean, and the only problem may be the pistol on Zhang Chengguang's body.

But the sign of the space bureau is really easy to use, although the police who got on the car to inspect it were very rigorous, but after knowing that they were from the space agency, they still behaved very politely, and even took the initiative to ask them if they needed help.

Chen Xin and Zhang Chengguang had already discussed it before, so naturally they politely refused the police's help.

After they finished inspecting the vehicle, Chen Xin drove the car and continued to the three towns.

In fact, in terms of administrative division, they have entered the scope of the three towns, but they are still in the outer suburbs of the three towns, and have not entered the urban area.

As the only mega city in the central region of Yanguo, the three towns are also the central cities in the central region of Yanguo, and the geographical area under its jurisdiction is naturally very vast.

In fact, even the name Three Towns comes from the fact that the central part of the city is made up of three important towns.

These three important towns themselves are the geographical divisions formed by the division of the Yangtze River and the Han River, and they have always been three cities in the past, until after the establishment of the Yan Kingdom, the administrative divisions of the three cities were gathered together with the development of the times, and they became today's three towns.

Because of the developed water and land transportation, the city has been known as the "thoroughfare of nine provinces" since ancient times, is one of the four gatherings in the world, and is also the most important water, land and air transportation hub in the central region of Yanguo.

At the same time, the three towns are also the headquarters of the joint logistics support force of the Yanguo Army, the core city of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the strategic fulcrum of the rise of the central region, and the pilot area of comprehensive innovation and reform.

It can be said that it is precisely because of the presence of such a city as Three Towns in the central region that the Yan Kingdom can still maintain the country's ability to control the central region after the apocalyptic disaster, and ensure the material supply and logistics support of the central provinces and cities.

And all this undoubtedly makes the three towns different from other cities in the region.

Compared to Chen Xin's city, the roads on the Three Towns side are obviously much busier, you can see vehicles flashing by from time to time on the streets, and the snow on the roads has also been cleared to a certain extent, plus the checkpoints set up along the way, if it weren't for the dark sky and a ruined city on the ground and craters that appear from time to time, Chen Xin really thought that this was just the Three Towns in winter.

But it is clear that both the stricter inspections and the pitch-black city prove that this is post-apocalyptic.

However, the atmosphere on the Three Towns side is obviously different, or the city is more vibrant and vibrant.

Although Chen Xin's city is also trying to recover from the disaster, the atmosphere in the city is closer to a feeling of struggling to survive in the last days.

However, the three towns are different, and although the ruins and snow you see from the suburbs approaching the city, the closer you get to the city, the more you can feel the vitality of the city.

Buildings that are clearly under construction, cars passing on the roads, and even the lights on the side of the road are all signs that the city is being reborn.

Perhaps this is the difference between a big city and a small city, after all, this is the most important city in the central region of the Yan Kingdom, and it is not unusual that it has begun to be rebuilt.

Just looking at the buildings under construction on the side of the road, Chen Xin's expression was a little strange.

Zhang Yao noticed the change in him and asked curiously, "What's wrong?" Is there anything wrong with this? ”

"No, I just think it's a little early to start rebuilding the city now?" Chen Xin raised his finger and pointed to the ruins of a building outside the car window that was obviously collapsed by meteorites, and said to Zhang Yao: "You came down from the sky, you should know very well that there are still a lot of meteorite debris in the sky, and now start to rebuild the city, what if there are still stones falling?" ”

Hearing Chen Xin say this, Zhang Yao remembered the impacts he had experienced when he came down from space in the return capsule, and he couldn't help but bow his head slightly in agreement.

However, although he agrees with Chen Xin's opinion, from another aspect, he is not unable to understand why the three towns are starting to rebuild after the disaster now: "But it is not difficult to understand that the post-disaster reconstruction should start now, after all, the meteorite falling is a matter of probability, and it is impossible to leave the post-disaster reconstruction work alone because there is a certain degree of danger, right?"

It may be a little risky to start post-disaster reconstruction now, but compared with the overall progress delay, delaying the production of various materials, this risk can still be bearable, after all, most of the meteorite debris that can fall now are small pieces of meteorite debris, many of which are burned out before they land, and the volume that can fall is not large. ”

Zhang Yao's words made Chen Xin a little speechless, but he had to admit that Zhang Yao was right.

People have the probability of choking to death when they eat and drink, but I haven't seen anyone who doesn't eat or drink water for this reason, and now this apocalyptic environment can resume production as soon as possible, which is a good thing for both the country and the ordinary people.

After all, the disaster caused by the previous meteorite impact had caused quite serious damage to the original industrial system, and the chemical factories around Chen Xin's city were basically destroyed, and the entire city only had a small amount of industrial production capacity preserved in the underground factory area.

This is true for a city, and even more so for a country, which retains some of its industrial production capacity and restores some of its production underground, but this is obviously not enough to meet the needs of the whole country.

It's like the previous incident with the oxygen concentrator in the official shelter, if it was put before the disaster, how could there be such a thing as insufficient equipment?

With the industrial production capacity before the Yanguo disaster, in the case of intervention at the national level, not to mention meeting domestic demand, there is even spare power to export to foreign countries to receive foreign trade orders.

Therefore, the resumption of production should also be the first thing that the top management of Yanguo needs to consider now.

As for the possible losses, it is clear that a trade-off must be made at this time.

While Chen Xin was thinking about this problem, they had gradually entered the urban area of the Three Towns, and there were fewer cars to see on the road here, and it seemed that large trucks were still not allowed to enter the city as before the disaster.

On the other hand, although the city is also cleaning up the rubble, there are not as many construction sites outside the city.

It seems that the Three Towns have cleaned up the suburbs first, restored industrial production first, and then considered the reconstruction of the inner city.

Entering the city from the outskirts of the city, Chen Xin and his team encountered a new checkpoint, this time the inspection was more detailed, and even the entire car needed to be scanned by a scanner.

And under this meticulous scanning, Chen Xin's car was inevitably stopped.

"Hello comrade, we need to check your car, there is a place on your car that can't be scanned, can you open it for us to see?" After the people at the checkpoint got into the car, they asked Chen Xin directly.

Chen Xin understood what the other party was talking about as soon as he heard it, but he was a little hesitant whether to open it for the other party to see, because what the other party was talking about was the power source of the car, that is, the place where the three isotope temperature difference batteries were installed.

Because isotope temperature difference batteries generate heat energy through the radiation released by isotope decay, for safety reasons, both the three batteries themselves and the mounting slots where the batteries are installed are metal lead.

This not only insulates the radiation, but also blocks the scanner's work.

However, seeing Chen Xin's hesitation, the people at the checkpoint were obviously nervous, thinking that there was something unsightly on Chen Xinche's new car.

Not only the inspectors who got into the car, but also the staff members of the checkpoint on the side walked out with guns and fell down the barricades at the checkpoint, obviously to prevent possible emergencies.

This made Zhang Chengguang on the side nervous, and hurriedly looked at Chen Xin and asked him if he needed their help, after all, if they showed their identities, they could help Chen Xin cover up the past in the name of the Space Bureau.

Chen Xin motioned for the three of them to be calm, and at the same time said to the inspectors: "This comrade, we belong to the Space Agency, and there are some things on this car that are confidential to the Space Bureau. ”

Hearing Chen Xin say this, and the clothes on the three astronauts next to him were indeed printed with the words Yanguo Aerospace, the inspectors agreed to Chen Xin's request after discussing it.

Seeing this, Chen Xin took two inspectors to the cab and opened a cover plate of the connecting part between the cab and the living compartment, revealing the three batteries installed inside.

"What you can't sweep out should be this part, this part of the structure is lead, and the three installed on it are isotope temperature difference batteries, which are used for power generation, because there is a certain amount of radiation, so they will be sealed with lead." Chen Xin motioned for the two inspectors to look at it, and then closed the cover again.

After the inspectors looked at it, they didn't find any problems, so they didn't say anything more, and they all agreed to keep it secret under Chen Xin's advice, and then got out of the car.

It's just that when the inspectors got out of the car, the three astronauts looked at Chen Xin with a strange look.

Zhang Chengguang couldn't help but ask Chen Xin: "Chen Xin, who are you?" Isotope temperature difference batteries are not something that ordinary people can get! ”
