It was a busy scene in the base.
Up until now, excluding the women in the "shelter," the base's population was close to 150 people. These people would be the future backbone of the Fishbone base. Once the wall of the newly developed area was completed and two apartment buildings were built, they could begin to consider the recruitment of outsiders.
Lu Huasheng was still in charge of the construction. Needless to say, the former Huajian real estate designer was indeed skilled. Jiang Chen gave him the opportunity to show off his skills, and he did produce results as he planned out the base well.
This kind of diligent and honest person was suitable to be entrusted with this kind of construction task that could not tolerate the slightest bit of carelessness. Jiang Chen had a good eye for people, and Lu Huasheng didn't disappoint him. Every day, he personally led the construction team to the construction site and built the wall of the newly developed area with 120% efficiency.
People like Cheng Weiguo, who had a strong sense of mission and loyalty, were assigned to a military position by Jiang Chen as the head of the militia, responsible for the defense and training of the soldiers.
As for Zhou Guoping, who was smooth and good at flattering, he was naturally assigned to the Sixth Street. One reason was because he had done intelligence gathering before, and the other was because he didn't see eye to eye with Chu Nan. Although it wasn't Zhou Guoping's fault, he did have sex with Chu Nan's "goddess."
And he did it in front of him many times.
Due to the internal harmony factor, it was a good choice to place them far away from each other.
Jiang Chen walked past the community center and went straight to a metal building. It was a temporary hangar mainly used to store the recovered helicopter.
…
Inside the hangar, Jiang Chen found Chu Nan who was repairing the helicopter.
Although the virtual reality training chamber in the base was equipped with general weapon training courses, it could also install general technology learning software copied from the city library. But a military transport like the Type-51 transport helicopter was classified as a secret before the war, so it was naturally impossible for it to appear in the equipment used to train the militia.
In other words, the only person in the base who could repair and use the helicopter was Chu Nan.
"How's the situation?" Jiang Chen walked beside him and asked nonchalantly.
"Terrible." Chu Nan didn't look back. He raised his arm to wipe his sweat and continued to fiddle with the messy wires.
"Did you fix it?" Jiang Chen glanced at the helicopter with a sci-fi design and touched the ring-shaped wing. He didn't see where the helicopter's rotor was, but from a visual perspective, the helicopter's suspension power should be provided by this ring.
The fuselage was shaped like a shuttle with an open hatch at the back. The words "-51" and the PAC symbol were almost completely worn out. The steel frame of the helicopter was dented, and the bulletproof glass was completely shattered. It did look a bit pitiful. Jiang Chen even wondered if this thing would ever fly again.
"I should be able to fix it. The damage to the outer shell was not a big deal. They could just replace it with steel. The key was the electronic components inside the plane. Damn it … the entire engine control system is fried. Can you believe it? At the edge of the city center, we actually encountered a monster that could shoot an EMP from its mouth. " Chu Nan cursed as he pulled out a palm-sized box from the side of the fuselage. He connected the wire to the computer on the side and typed in a few parameters.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen's expression turned strange. Because he seemed to have encountered a monster that could use EMP some time ago.
"Is it rare to see mutants that can use an EMP?"
Chu Nan turned around and looked at Jiang Chen in surprise.
"Is it rare to see mutants that can use an EMP?"
Jiang Chen paused for a moment.
Speaking of which, although he knew that Chu Nan had ended up in this area due to a failed mission, he had never asked him about the details of the mission.
"The mission was to eliminate the extreme mutant creatures and then recover the crystals. We sent out two helicopters and a team of 12 power armor soldiers. When we arrived at the destination, I hovered the helicopter above the yellow-green floating object as ordered. Then, our captain called for artillery support. "
"The artillery exposed the body, the paratroopers jumped out, killed, and recovered the crystals. This is all a routine. It's not my first time on a mission. "
"It was a beautiful strike. The electromagnetic pulse cannon fired from Liuding town directly hit the building. The concrete blocks collapsed like an avalanche. But just when we thought it was over and only needed to recover the crystals, we could return. "Chu Nan paused, smiled mysteriously, and then continued.
"The meat red cannon that was half a building tall fired a red beam into the sky. It didn't hit anything, but the two helicopters were instantly paralyzed."
"Then the monster seemed to have exploded. The paratroopers must have succeeded. But who knows? "Chu Nan shrugged as he stuffed a processor into the fuselage.
"Liuding town didn't send anyone to save you?"
"Impossible." Chu Nan curled his lips. "To Liuding town, pilots can be mass-produced. The only valuable thing is this metal lump. But the crash site is too far from the port. I almost flew half the city. "
Jiang Chen fell into silence.
At this time, he suddenly recalled the artificial intelligence's description of the bugs that invaded the underground fallout shelter.
[Hehe, don't even mention the fact that you can't block it. Even if it misses, your iron body will still turn into an iron coffin …]
"Klein particle?" Jiang Chen murmured to himself.
"What is that?" Chu Nan was confused.
"Nothing." He would ask Lin Lin about the Klein particle later. Jiang Chen chose to avoid the topic. "Also, after the helicopter is repaired, see if you can make some improvements on this thing."
"Improvements?"
"Mhmm. For example, add a .50 caliber machine gun on the side and weld a cannon on top. "Different from Liuding town, the Fishbone base was on land and didn't have the need for long-range combat. Modifying the helicopter into an aerial gunship would be more suitable for the Fishbone base's combat needs.
"Do you think the helicopter is a truck? If you want to weld a machine gun on top, you can just poke it? "Chu Nan couldn't help but ridicule.
"Is there a problem?" Jiang Chen paused for a moment as he frowned.
"There is a big problem." Chu Nan shook his head as he pulled the wire from the computer. He picked up the screwdriver again as he fiddled with the parts inside the helicopter. "Balance is a big problem. Random modifications could cause the helicopter to be unable to fly, or it could flip when it reaches a certain height."
"Then we won't just 'random modifications'." Jiang Chen laughed as he patted Chu Nan's shoulder. "I'll leave the troublesome part to you, the expert. I need you to add some weapons on the helicopter. The more powerful the better. "
Chu Nan facepalmed as he heard such an amateur request. He let out a helpless sigh.
"I'll try my best. Weld a machine gun on the side of the helicopter and design a new fire control system … As for the cannon, it should be fine to install it at the back door. Just arrange for a gunner to manually operate it. But with this modification, the transport helicopter would become a military helicopter. "
Jiang Chen only smiled at Chu Nan's ridicule.
"That's what I wanted."
