The SS Seagull, which carried the hope of human civilization, sailed into the boundless cold night as blue flames sprayed out. In addition to the three hundred scientific researchers, the space elevator components designed by Future Heavy Industries for the Mars colony were also sent.
Watching the starship leave, Jiang Chen turned around and left the port of Celestial City.
In order to determine the candidates for the Flower of Memory inoculation, he had already spent a lot of time in Celestial City, and now it was time to return to the surface.
When Jiang Chen returned to the mansion on Coro Island, it was just late at night.
Seeing that the light in Xia Shiyu's study was still on, he gently pushed the door open and walked in.
After finishing a document, Xia Shiyu yawned as she leaned back in her chair and stretched her back.
Just at this moment, a pair of hands gently placed on her fragrant shoulders, almost causing her to fall off the chair in fright.
She turned her head and saw the smirking face. Xia Shiyu had a knowing look on her face as she glared at him.
"Why didn't you say you were coming in?"
"I was afraid to disturb you."
"I've already disturbed you, okay?"
Xia Shiyu closed her eyes and gradually relaxed her body. With a sweet smile on her face, she quietly enjoyed the massage of the big hands on her shoulders.
"Why aren't you sleeping so late?"
"It's because of you."
"Me?"
Jiang Chen looked at the pile of documents on the table in confusion. On the stack of documents that had been signed in the upper left corner, words such as "2020 Xin International Defense Expo" and "Planning Plan" were written on the cover.
When Jiang Chen saw this, a look of realization suddenly appeared on his face.
Speaking of which, he was the one who personally approved this.
"We invited 47 countries to participate in the exhibition. So far, 39 countries have confirmed their attendance, and 789 companies have confirmed that they will appear in the exhibition." Xia Shiyu's closed eyelashes trembled because of the comfort, and she used a lazy tone to report the progress of the work to Jiang Chen. "The venue and time have been finalized. It will be held in the Heart of the Sea on Coro Island in September."
It was the first time that Xin held an international defense exhibition. The invited countries were either members of the Earth Defense Alliance or countries with intentions to join the alliance. The purpose of this defense exhibition, in addition to strengthening military cooperation between member states, was also to find overseas buyers for Future Military, the growing arms giant.
It was the first time Future Military relented on the issue of overseas arms sales.
Apart from generating profits, selling firearms was also a way to expand their influence.
It was almost foreseeable that EMP weapons and kinetic skeletons would become the protagonists of this defense exhibition and the darlings in the eyes of purchasers from all over the world.
Of course, all the weapons sold to foreign countries were export models specially designed by Future Military. In terms of technical content and performance, they were naturally incomparable to Celestial Trade's own equipment. They were probably at the same level as those used by Madagascar mercenaries.
"Don't stay up too late," Jiang Chen whispered.
Xia Shiyu moaned comfortably as she said in a joking tone.
"I suddenly realized that you're quite good at taking care of people."
"You just realized?" Jiang Chen smiled.
"What, what are you doing?" Feeling the pair of hands that were starting to become naughty, Xia Shiyu bit her lower lip and glanced at the door with a blushing face. She whispered, "Stop it."
"If you're worried about Lilith hearing it, you can rest assured." Jiang Chen gently blew in her ear and watched the red clouds climb to the tip of her ear. He smirked, "When I went upstairs, I saw her lying on the sofa playing games."
"You, you haven't showered yet …"
"I want you to help me shower."
…
It was a quiet night.
The next day, Jiang Chen didn't wake up until noon.
After washing up, Jiang Chen ate the lunch prepared by Ayesha and came to the living room.
Lilith, who was lying on the sofa, moved her legs and moved a seat for him.
Jiang Chen sat next to Lilith, comfortably leaned on the sofa, and turned on the holographic TV for a while.
It happened that the TV was playing international news.
The Colombian government forces and FARC engaged in a firefight in the central region. Because of the loss of support from the NATO Coalition Force, the government forces retreated under the offensive of the guerrillas. They had retreated less than 20 kilometers from the capital, Bogota.
At present, NATO was trying to start a dialogue with Moro on the issue of prisoners of war, but the door was shut. Italy and Greece were considering withdrawing from the NATO Coalition Force and starting peace negotiations with FARC as independent countries in order to redeem their captured soldiers.
After all, the two countries here only symbolically sent a battalion to join in the fun and respond to their leader's call. Now that the situation was not right, the war obviously could not continue. Compared to the common interests of NATO, domestic political interests were, of course, more important.
"Are things developing as you envisioned?" Lilith, who was lying on the sofa with her legs curled up, suddenly asked.
"Not at all." Jiang Chen smiled, "But at least the general direction is not wrong."
"Is that so?" Lilith said thoughtfully.
At this time, Ayesha walked into the living room, glanced at Lilith lying on the sofa, and walked to another small sofa to sit down.
"Just now, Bernice called. The UA Department of Defense issued a document to all UA soldiers, requiring strict implementation to platoon combat units. All electronic equipment, especially communication equipment, must be strictly stored in a specific Faraday backpack during non-use hours …" Ayesha opened the holographic screen of the watch and gently pushed it in front of Jiang Chen, "Here is the original manuscript."
"She can even get her hands on this." Jiang Chen was slightly surprised. He reached out with interest and fiddled with the scroll bar on the holographic screen.
It seemed that the UA was indeed afraid of Celestial Trade's EMP strike. Otherwise, they would not use this method.
The benefits of this were obvious. There was no need to worry about Celestial Trade's EMP suddenly destroying their eyes and ears. Of course, the disadvantages were also obvious. This caused great inconvenience to real-time communication, such as the need to set a time for communication.
In addition, it was also mentioned in the report that the UA Department of Defense ordered a batch of old-fashioned communication equipment from domestic communication companies to respond to emergencies. At the same time, they spent 10 billion US Dollar to develop a more advanced, convenient, and low-cost optical transmission system, intending to solve the threat of Celestial Trade's EMP weapons at the root.
However, Jiang Chen was quite skeptical about whether the UA could really do it.
Their direction was indeed correct. There were only two measures to deal with EMP weapons in the apocalypse. One was to use optical transmission components to replace electrical transmission components as much as possible, and the other was to make key electronic parts as small as possible.
However, it was still impossible to completely resist EMP strikes, unless the entire electromagnetic field was shielded …
