In the apocalypse, a secluded factory in the northern suburbs of Wanghai was strictly guarded by NAC soldiers.
The factory was only about 20 kilometers away from the Sixth Street. It was located in the Bao Shan area, near the estuary of the Huangpu River.
In contrast to the desolate appearance, the factory was bustling with activity.
Under the supervision of NAC soldiers, NAC engineers operated the mechanical cantilever and carefully sent the energy tank containing several kilograms of deuterium and helium-3 into the slot of a giant machine covering an area of hundreds of square meters.
Technicians from the Guardian Sect in Shangjing stood with NAC researchers at the moment and looked at the scene in front of them with excitement.
It had been more than a year.
Today, their work had finally made a breakthrough.
As the energy tank was sent into the slot, the staff in the entire factory became busy.
"Energy output power is normal!"
"Turn on the switch and start charging!"
"Shield generator is activated!"
"The power system output environment is good, the temperature is normal, and it is operating steadily!"
"The shield generating device is activated! We did it! "
The sound of the stable operation of the machine was like the sound of nature.
With an excited shout, enthusiastic cheers erupted in the factory.
The engineers and researchers high-fived each other, and even the soldiers stationed on the side had a relieved expression on their faces. Everyone's faces were filled with excitement and joy. They hugged each other and celebrated this long-awaited moment.
Once the shield generating device was repaired, the other shield devices would not be a problem.
Soon, the news reached the heart of NAC – the General's Mansion at the Fishbone Base.
When he heard the good news, Jiang Chen immediately ordered people to prepare a vehicle and decided to come in person.
For NAC, the repair of the Holy Shield system was equivalent to saving the entire Wanghai from the suffering of a nuclear winter. For Celestial Trade, the complete mastery of the Holy Shield technology was equivalent to directly raising the defense of the Earth Fleet and Celestial Trade Fleet by a level! Achieving a leap from hard armor defense to an energy shield!
Not long after, under the escort of armored vehicles and tanks, a limousine stopped at the gate of the factory.
The door opened, and accompanied by a group of soldiers, Jiang Chen walked quickly to the gate. The project leader standing at the door immediately greeted him with a group of researchers and respectfully followed beside him.
Lilith jumped out of the car and walked behind him.
While walking in the direction of the factory, the person in charge of the Holy Shield system repair work explained to Jiang Chen with excitement.
"… The repair work was mainly carried out around the shield generator. During the war, NATO special forces' attacks on the Holy Shield system were mainly aimed at the shield generator. The technical difficulty we've been facing all this time is the shield generator. But now, all the troubles had been resolved. The rest of the shield generators won't be as troublesome as this one. It shouldn't be a problem to complete all the repairs before winter! "
Nodding, Jiang Chen followed him into the factory and stopped in front of the massive shield generator.
"This thing has been fixed?" Jiang Chen looked at the shield generating device that was operating steadily, then turned to the researcher behind him and asked, "Why don't I see the shield?"
Before going to Shangjing, Lin Lin gave him a miniature version of the Holy Shield System. In his memory, the Holy Shield System should be able to see a layer of pale yellow outline. The working graviton could force all nearby matter to stop or change the direction of motion, including air and dust that approached it.
"The shield is mainly concentrated above, and it doesn't have to form a closed sphere. To describe it specifically, it is now like an umbrella, protecting the top of our heads. In addition, this city-level shield generating device has a height of more than two kilometers. Of course, if you need, we can also lower it, "the researcher standing next to him immediately explained to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen nodded.
"No, I trust you."
It was easy to test the strength of the shield. He just needed to order AS Order to fire the main cannon here. But there shouldn't be a problem. After all, this was something that could defend against space-based weapons.
This could be tested later.
Once he left this place …
Just as Jiang Chen was inspecting the work under the guidance of the researcher, Lilith walked next to the shield generator and pointed her finger at the generator. A stream of data flashed through her pupils, and soon she withdrew her finger from the generator and returned to Jiang Chen's side.
Noticing her movement, Jiang Chen tilted his head slightly and asked curiously.
"What did you just do?"
"I made some optimizations to the Holy Shield System program and cleaned up some loopholes. It can probably increase the operating efficiency of the hardware by about 5%, and it will increase the difficulty of hacking to the maximum … Well, it's a version update to the original program, "Lilith said expressionlessly.
"You still have this ability?" Jiang Chen looked at Lilith in surprise.
To be able to update the version of the Holy Shield System designed before the war was, in a sense, impressive. Although it was only software, it was also designed by countless leaders of the Pan-Asia Academy of Sciences.
"Is it difficult for the world's only advanced artificial intelligence?" Lilith said solemnly.
Although it was a bit pretentious, it was indeed the truth.
Jiang Chen didn't know what the situation was like with NATO and the Soviet Union, but Pan-Asia probably only had one advanced artificial intelligence.
"Right, I have always been curious about how strong your computer technology is," Jiang Chen asked.
"As long as it is hardware that I can recognize, I can use it freely." Lilith shrugged. "For me, using electronic products is probably as easy as eating and drinking for you."
After all, she herself was a program.
Jiang Chen nodded thoughtfully, then he suddenly said.
"Then what if I ask you to hack a country's nuclear weapons system?"
"It depends on how well they do their security work." On Lilith's expressionless face, a curvature appeared. "If they launch nuclear weapons using Facebook or Twitter, I probably only need one second to make them explode on the spot."
"That's true." Jiang Chen took a moment to process the humor in Lilith's words, and he also laughed. "But then again, you actually know about Facebook and Twitter?"
Indeed, nuclear weapons were not launched using Twitter and Facebook.
Jiang Chen didn't know about the launch procedures of the UA, but for Celestial Trade itself. From the moment he pressed the nuclear button to the launch of the missile silo deployed at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, there were at least three procedures, and there was physical isolation between each procedure.
For example, in the last procedure, after two staff members sitting in front of the launch pad confirmed the order, they inserted the metal key into the lock, and must turn the key at the same time to start the launch program. Then a third person entered the final launch password through a mechanical keyboard.
A hacker from a certain country could paralyze a country's nuclear weapons with a network attack. Even the UA expert who said this sentence and the news that frequently reposted this sentence wouldn't believe it.
"I can obtain a lot of information from that game, and I can even pinpoint which player said which sentence to whom at which time." Lilith said something quite impressive with a blank expression, which made Jiang Chen speechless.
Just leaving a backdoor in Godly Land's server was enough to reach this level. What would happen if she touched Future Technology's server? The Skynet program that the UA researched for a few years couldn't achieve this level …
