After completing the preliminary reconnaissance, Shen Chao decided to adopt a plan of peaceful recruitment, recruiting the soldiers they needed without attracting as much attention as possible. He and Alice carefully returned to the atmosphere in their shuttle, ready to begin the first phase.

There were four people on their shuttle, Roy and Hargrave in a nanosuit in addition to the two of them, and the old man had regained his full mobility.

According to Hargrave's own words, he has recovered his physical condition when he was 80 years old, and if what he said is true, Shen Chao is very impressed.

Because Hargrave doesn't look like an old man at all, he has been exercising for long hours every day while he is recovering his physical functions.

With his efforts and the help of various future health medicines, he is now able to run 10 kilometers a day, which is better than the body of most young people in modern society.

If it weren't for the fact that his hair was still gray, no one would have believed that this was an old man with a physical age of nearly 90 years and an actual age of 130.

Before this departure, Dr. Neville gave the old man many physical examinations and confirmed Hargrave's physical condition, the old man's cardiopulmonary system and immune system were no worse than ordinary middle-aged people, so this time Shen Chao agreed to take him.

Back to the present, Shen Chao's return to the atmosphere is more dangerous than when they left, because if they enter at high speed, it will produce a large air friction with the atmosphere, causing their shuttle to generate a large number of heat signatures.

In order not to attract attention, they slowly enter the atmosphere. And the process of reducing the altitude at an extremely slow pace, which normally takes only 1 to 2 minutes, now takes close to 20 minutes.

The reason why they are so careful is that the information on military equipment they have just found on the military network, although the level of information technology in this world is not very developed, the military hardware is still very mature, and the air defense system is particularly powerful.

I don't know if it's because the technology tree in the military part is too positive, the world's large-scale laser weapon system is quite mature, and it's easy to hit airplanes and spaceships.

All kinds of road-based, air-based, sea-based, and space-based laser air defense weapons are readily available. Even a large-scale launch of traditional strategic nuclear weapons would be difficult to break through such a defense system.

As mentioned earlier, there have been many major wars between countries on this plane of Earth in the past few decades, the war between China and the United States, and the war between the United States and Russia...... And so on, many nuclear states have been involved in several previous wars of annihilation. Countless small countries were annexed by several large countries in those decades.

In these wars, major powers have fired a large number of nuclear weapons at the enemy, and more than 100 of them have hit their targets, whether strategic or tactical. Many of the once thriving cities on the surface are now in ruins.

However, it is precisely because of such an integrated and powerful defense system that those wars of annihilation did not immediately enter the era of "radiation" as soon as there was a nuclear war like other planes.

"Altitude 64, speed 170, no radar lock......" Alice carefully controlled the entry speed in the main driver's seat, and reported to Shen Chao in the passenger seat.

"Keep it up, we're not far away......" Shen Chao cautiously stared at the monitoring number and temperature on the multiple control panels. Radiation dose, distance...... to ensure that they are not detected by any radar system.

It took them 20 minutes to enter the atmosphere and safely reach the chosen landing site, an abandoned city. It was originally the location of Chicago.

Like the Main Plane, it was once a large city with a population of millions, and it was considered famous all over the world. But unlike the main plane, this is now a dead city.

Seventeen years ago, in a previous war, the once-thriving city was hit by a strategic nuclear warhead with a 5-million-ton yield.

That explosion was the most violent explosion in a nuclear war in this plane, and the nuclear bomb exploded at a low altitude due to interference at the end of the orbit.

The huge impact bulldozed all the buildings within 4 kilometers of the city center, it was bulldozing. Countless houses have collapsed.

Because it was during the war, it was abandoned after a short rescue and a loss of 1.2 million people, and after the war, it was assessed as difficult to rebuild, so the once great city was abandoned in this way.

Shen Chao: The reason why they are looking for this place to land is because it is the closest place to their destination among all the suitable landing spots.

The vicinity of this is 200 kilometers of no-man's land, 400 kilometers from their target city, and landing here will not be detected. Nor will it be too far from their goal.

"Alright, we're safely landed. Alice announced after landing the shuttle firmly on the ground. Her vehicle piloting skills are the best in the team, so she's usually the one in charge of driving the shuttles.

"Alright, everyone, bring their helmets. Prepare to exit the warehouse. Also, start detecting radiation levels. Shen Chao reminded everyone to wear helmets in the passenger seat, opened the detection panel, and began to detect the radiation level of the outside world.

Their shuttles and armor have high levels of radiation resistance and can adapt to almost any man-made nuclear environment. So theoretically, as long as they put on their armor, they could go straight out of the warehouse, but for safety, he still carried out a pre-exit inspection.

: "7000 millisieverts, safe." After more than ten seconds, Shen Chao looked at the number on the panel and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although only a short exposure is enough to kill an average person in a month, it is still far from the limit of their armor's protection against radiation.

Once it was safe, he opened the hatch and left the shuttle with Hargrave and Roy. Alice will stay nearby after they leave, ready to come to close support or evacuate with them.

Hargrave wears an unarmored nanosuit, and his strength and speed are not unlocked. His current physical condition is not enough to withstand that kind of tremendous pressure.

"It's so desolate, have you ever seen anything like this before?" Hargrave sighed as he left the shuttle and looked at the scene in front of him.

It's pitch black here, and he can't see his five fingers, and if he doesn't have the night vision function of the nanosuit, he can't see the scene in front of him.

But after seeing it, he thought it would be better not to see it, and they landed in a previous square, near which was a large area of ruins, and at first glance it was the remains of a building that had been washed away by the atomic explosion.

Before, he had always felt that the earth in his plane was sad enough, and he had to fight against the awakened ceph army in the case of the technological generation.

But looking at the ghost town in front of him, he could only sigh at the ability of human beings to self-destruct. There is no foreign enemy in this world, but it is still made like this by human beings themselves.

"Oh, I've seen it, I've been to the world of Fallout, it's far more desolate than here......" Shen Chao told him about his short stay in the world of Fallout.

He had seen a world far more desolate than this, and it was for the exile of his former prisoners, the ruins of which were hundreds of years old, far more dilapidated than the ghost town in front of him.

Although the earth in this plane has experienced a series of wars, only a few places have been hit by nuclear weapons, and it is far from being as tragic as the world of radiation and ruins.

"How do they deal with radiation damage?" Hargrave was surprised when he heard this, Shen Chao hadn't mentioned the two exiled worlds to him before.

Therefore, he was very curious after hearing Shen Chao say that there were still a large number of human beings who survived and returned to the surface in a completely leveled world like the Radiation World.

His nanotechnology could also help radiation sickness patients recover, but it was expensive, far from affordable for the average person, so he wanted to know what was going on in that plane.

"We'll talk about this later, now our priority is to recruit soldiers......" Shen Chao thought about it and still didn't give a detailed account of the world background of the Radiation World. Hargrave didn't ask any more, he was just curious.

With that, they each took out his folding flyboard from the shuttle. This is what they brought from the world of Mass Effect, and this kind of unpopular vehicle was used by Salon in the game's generation story.

The board is folded to the size of a small stump, but when unfolded, it has a diameter of about 1.5 meters, and can carry one crew member when unfolded.

The Mass Effect Core inside is capable of creating a small Mass Effect Weakening Field, reducing the mass of the entire airboard and the crew on it to a very low level.

Powered by plasma thrusters, it is capable of carrying a fully loaded soldier through the planet. In a standard atmosphere, the maximum "safe" flight speed of this flyboard can reach 65 times the speed of sound. The range is more than 2.2 million kilometers.

The reason why it is unpopular is that it only provides very little shield protection, and in the world of air defense technology and firepower breaking through the mass effect of Skyrim, this flyboard can only survive on the battlefield at very high speeds. And ordinary people can't control the flyboard at super high speeds......

While this is a chicken-ribbed piece of equipment in a Mass Effect world, in this low-level technology world, it's a very efficient one-man vehicle.

Back in the moment, they took out their flyboards and got into them, then set up their autopilot, and quickly left the ghost town at three times the speed of sound.

Since they were flying at low altitudes, they didn't have to worry about radar, and it only took them a few minutes to reach their destination, a heavily defended military base.

Here, Shen Chao conducted a close reconnaissance to determine the security level here, and after confirming that there was a team of soldiers here, Shen Chao let Hargrave and Roy carry out the details of the plan, and he returned to Chicago after arranging some surveillance equipment.

The rules for the implementation of the peace recruitment plan were all formulated by Hargrave, and the basic idea was to set up a fake outer space development company in this world, and suck all the soldiers into the camp the moment they were kicked out of the barracks.
