On July 1, Liuding requested assistance from NAC on the grounds that the Bohai Aircraft Carrier was in disrepair.
As an ally that had cooperated for many years, NAC certainly sent an engineering team to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the Bohai Aircraft Carrier. In the end, NAC's engineering team came to a conclusion that the Bohai Aircraft Carrier's hull durability had dropped to a dangerous level due to lack of proper maintenance over the years.
Only a comprehensive replacement of the aging parts could save the city located on the aircraft carrier.
What happened next was easy to explain. NAC built a shipyard at the port in front of Liuding to produce replacement parts. On the other hand, the technicians took turns boarding the Bohai Aircraft Carrier in the name of maintenance. As for what they were actually doing, only they knew.
NAC's actions made the people at the Beluga Station nervous, but they couldn't find any fault with it. Wu Yue, who was stationed at the Sixth Street, came to Jiang Chen several times, trying to find out what NAC was planning to do.
However, Jiang Chen would never reveal his true intentions to him, and every time he tried to fool him.
As for whether Liuding, the protagonist of the whole incident, was willing?
Was there a need to ask? Of course, the senior officials of Liuding welcomed it with open arms!
NAC not only helped them replace parts and refurbish the hull for free, but also promised them hundreds of thousands of credits. Where else could they find such a profitable deal?
As for whether NAC's navy development would threaten Liuding? No one thought in that direction at all.
When the disparity in strength between the two sides reached a certain level, there was no longer a question of threat.
Since NAC wiped out the mutants in Wanghai with thunderous momentum, Liuding Town never mentioned the idea of sharing the limelight with NAC. Later, Liuding was fully integrated into NAC's credit currency system, and its economy became more and more dependent on the Sixth Street. The senior officials of Liuding simply began to purchase properties in the Sixth Street and even regarded themselves as part of NAC.
In this way, NAC built a shipyard on the edge of Wanghai in the name of repairing the ship in Liuding. They trained ship engineers in the name of repairing the Bohai Aircraft Carrier and hammered a nail into the fat meat of the Beluga Station.
On the other hand, the outpost on the West Coast of North America sent a message and listed the specialties and lack of resources throughout California.
Inheriting the scientific research results of Silicon Valley before the war, the electronic industry here was extremely developed, and the technological level of drones and robots was far above that of Wu City. The main reason for all of this was due to the leading electronic chip production technology in Silicon Valley.
In addition, the popularity of power armor in North America had reached a terrifying level. Even the looters could DIY a simple power armor with a few scraps of materials. For a pre-war militia organization like the National Guard, almost every four people had a "Militia Model 02" power armor. Now, after the war, almost everyone had one or more.
Electronic chips, robot parts, and even power armors were all very promising goods. Without any hesitation, Jiang Chen listed these three products as the key import targets of this trade route across the ocean.
In addition to the advanced electronics industry.
Due to the development of animal husbandry, the canned meat from California was even sold as far as South America. Some radiation-resistant crops that could only grow on certain soils made California the granary of North America.
Under such circumstances, it was obviously meaningless to export food to California. Even if NAC's pre-war food was more delicious, the advantage would not be too great. After all, for the survivors on the wasteland, having enough to eat was the most important thing.
As long as it was not like the two-headed cows raised in the Sixth Street five years ago that tasted like wax, they would be happy to have meat to eat, and they would not be picky.
It was evident that food trade had no future in North America. However, the development of animal husbandry meant that they were quite lacking in spices and seasonings.
Crops such as mutated pepper and star anise produced in Hongcheng, various sauces processed by the Sixth Street, and mud crab yellow sauce produced in Yizhou should have a good market on the West Coast of North America.
In addition to spices and seasonings, there were also munitions. Munitions were never outdated anywhere. The rifles produced by the military factory in the Sixth Street were definitely more durable than the rifles hand-made by the survivors. Of course, Jiang Chen would not export kinetic skeletons and T3 and T4 power armors, even if California and Wanghai were thousands of miles apart.
"… In addition, when trading with the locals, remember to pay attention to things related to NASA for me. If advanced spacecraft or the wreckage of spacecraft are found, ask them to try to load them on cargo ships and transport them back together. "After Jiang Chen instructed Chu Nan about the trade, he finally reminded him again.
Although NASA in the modern world was completely crushed by Celestial Trade, NASA in this timeline was still quite powerful.
"No problem."
His boss had a special hobby of collecting spacecraft. This was no longer a secret among NAC executives. Chu Nan did not feel anything strange and simply agreed to this request on the phone.
After he hung up the phone, he stretched his back and leaned back in his chair.
After NAC got on the right track, there were very few things that required him to do personally. As a result, he couldn't remember the last time he sat in the General's Mansion to deal with government affairs.
At this time, Sun Jiao pushed open the door and walked in with a cup of coffee. When she saw Jiang Chen leaning back in his chair, a gentle smile appeared on her face. She walked behind him with light steps, pinched his shoulder, and began to massage him.
"Are you tired? Let me massage for you. "
Such a gentle action on Sun Jiao's body almost made Jiang Chen unable to react.
"Does it feel good?" Sun Jiao smiled.
To confirm that it was not a dream, Jiang Chen raised his head and met her gentle gaze. He carefully asked.
"Did you eat something strange this morning … Ahhh, it hurts … Be gentle."
The smile on her face did not change, but the murderous intent in her eyes increased. Her fingers on his shoulder sank deeper.
[That's my Sun Jiao …]
Jiang Chen thought in his mind, but the pain made him grimace. If it was an opponent like Xiaorou or Yaoyao behind him, he would have easily pushed them down. But it was Sun Jiao who stood behind him. In terms of combat ability, not many people in NAC could be her opponent.
But soon, the pressure on his shoulder loosened.
A pair of soft hands wrapped around the back of his head. Sun Jiao's hands wrapped around his shoulders, hugged his back, and rested her chin on his shoulder.
Although she had a lot to say, only two words came out of her mouth.
"Dummy."
When Jiang Chen heard the murmur in his ear, he paused for a moment before he smiled. He didn't say anything and just held her hand.
A moment of silence lingered between the two. Sun Jiao gently bit her lower lip and whispered.
"You're going back tomorrow, right?"
"Mhmm."
"… I feel like I can't bear to leave you."
Jiang Chen smiled.
"Dummy —"
"Brother-in-law ~"
Before she could finish, she was interrupted by a crisp voice outside the door. Sun Jiao quickly dodged like a rabbit and stood beside Jiang Chen.
The office door was pushed open, and Sun Xiaorou skipped in.
But as soon as she stepped into the office, she stopped and looked suspiciously at Sun Jiao and Jiang Chen.
When she saw the blush on her sister's face and her nervous expression, she read the sensational atmosphere in the air, and a sly curvature appeared on her face.
"Ah … sorry to bother you guys, please continue ~"
"Wait, it's not what you think —" Sun Jiao's face turned red as she hurriedly said.
Without giving her sister a chance to explain, Xiaorou slyly stuck out her tongue at Sun Jiao and left the room.
Sun Jiao looked at the direction of her sister's departure with a red face. She gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, and chased out the door.
Jiang Chen looked at the swinging door and shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
He looked at the cup of coffee on the table. His heart that had gradually calmed down began to ripple again.
If Xiaorou didn't interrupt, would he and Sun Jiao already be in the office …
When they were together, they always seemed to have no self-control.
Jiang Chen shook his head and threw the seductive thoughts out of his head. He picked up the documents he threw aside.
Zhang Yaping's diplomatic visit was over. If everything went smoothly, he should be on the plane back to China.
From tomorrow onwards, he would have to go back to manage the situation.
Before that, he must finish the work at hand …
