In the inner circle of the Sixth Street, in the restaurant facing the street.
This was the property of the Zhao Corporation. It was rumored that the General himself had a lot of shares. Because it was located in the most prosperous area of the Sixth Street and always had access to the freshest ingredients, this hotel naturally became the darling of the upper class of the Sixth Street. Even in the distant southern survivor settlements, they could occasionally hear of this hotel's reputation.
In this era where even humans were more or less mutated, no one knew where NAC obtained pure shrimp species and established a breeding industry in the radiation-free Garden of Eden. This crystal clear river shrimp was delicious. Once it was introduced, it was immediately sought after by the upper class and even became a hot topic in the entire Sixth Street.
And now, these expensive river shrimp were placed on the table, sprinkled with chili oil, garlic, and spices. The tempting aroma could be smelled from afar. Just this dish alone was enough to highlight the extraordinary identity of the diner.
Unless it was an important member of the NAC military government system, only the capitalists of the Sixth Street or the Hang Merchant Alliance, or the leaders of chambers of commerce and merchant fleet owners from other areas could afford to dine here.
However, these people were obviously low-key and locked themselves in the private room to eat. If it was a nouveau riche from the colony or the Southern Survivors Alliance, they would definitely set up a table in the most prominent location of the restaurant, hoping that everyone in the restaurant would notice their extravagance.
"Haha, congratulations on your promotion, Captain Zheng!"
"Congratulations, congratulations! When you go to North America, you must send us some local specialties! "
"Yes, yes! I heard that the mud crab roe there is white, just like the breast of a Caucasian horse. "
"What do you mean by the breast of a Caucasian horse? Don't be so vulgar! What did the General say to us last time? He told you idiots to learn more culture, but you didn't listen! Can't you say it's like milk … burp … the same. "
"Hahaha, Captain, be the judge. Who do you think is more cultured between me and Old Qian?"
The private room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
A few burly men sat there casually, taking turns to raise their glasses to toast their superior who was sitting at the head of the table. Although there was respect in their tone, there was a hint of ridicule in it.
These clowns were none other than Jiang Chen's guards.
The original captain, Lu Fan, had been promoted to the head of the Fourth Division and was now stationed in Shangjing to guard the northern border of the NAC. The current captain of the guards was the former deputy captain Zheng Shanhe. NAC had just undergone a round of military expansion, and there were rumors of the establishment of the Fifth Division. Based on the tradition of the NAC, the commander of the Fifth Division was most likely to be from the General's Guards.
This was supposed to be something worth celebrating, but at this moment, Captain Zheng's eyebrows furrowed with a hint of melancholy.
Why?
Naturally, it was because of the North American colony!
Although the news of the expedition had not been released yet, it was no secret that NAC was preparing to send troops to North America. The entire North American colony lost contact, and all kinds of strange rumors spread in the Sixth Street.
If there were no accidents, this time, it would be the marshal's' personal expedition ', and the captain of the personal guards who accompanied the army would definitely be promoted. By that time, regardless of whether the newly organized force was called the Fifth Division or the NAC North American Division, it would definitely not be able to return with the General.
"Congratulations my ass. Which idiot is mocking me again? I'll take you to the colony." Zheng Shanhe's eyes widened, and several soldiers suddenly smiled, retracted the glasses they were about to extend, and drank by themselves.
They all knew that the Sixth Street was good. Unless they could no longer survive, no one was willing to go to the colony.
They wouldn't go if they could get promoted!
"Captain Lu can at least go home once in a while. If I go to North America, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back once in a few years." After a sip of beer, Zheng Shanhe sighed, felt the coolness passing through his throat, and grinned.
Although he complained, he didn't have any dissatisfaction.
However, when he thought of his newly married wife, he felt a wave of depression in his heart.
"Captain, don't worry." A subordinate stood up, raised his glass, and solemnly said, "You, like Captain Li and Captain Lu, will always be our captain! When you are away, the brothers will help you take care of your family. "
"That's right! We're here! "
"Whoever dares to bully sister-in-law, we'll break his legs!"
The other personal guards also stood up and offered their wine glasses to him.
After all, they were all old subordinates who had fought with the General for so many years. Although they always tried to undermine each other, the friendship between them was undeniable.
"I'll leave it to you." With a sigh, Zheng Shanhe raised his glass.
Just after a glass of beer, everyone sat down.
Just as Zheng Shanhe was about to nag, a clear reminder sounded.
The screen of the watch flickered with a faint fluorescence, and the word [Assemble] appeared on the screen.
The guards were all taken aback, looked at each other, and immediately bounced up from their chairs. Zheng Shanhe threw a check on the table, ignored the delicious food on the table, and rushed out the door without looking back.
…
"What is this?"
Standing in the backyard of the mansion, Jiang Chen looked up and down at the power armor in front of him. From a structural point of view, this power armor was very similar to the X-1 experimental model he retrieved from the underground of Shangjing, especially the Type-57 portable electromagnetic pulse cannon, which was the same as the standard X-1.
"My sisters and I made some modifications on the basis of the X-1. Lilith optimized the operational logic of the auxiliary shooting program and completed the unfinished design of Pan-Asia Cooperation. Now you can call it the N-100 Power Armor, different from the original experimental model. "Lin Lin's mouth curled up proudly as she explained to Jiang Chen.
After the T-series power armor reached the T-4, there were no follow-up development plans. Because for Jiang Chen, the two mainstream power armors currently equipped by NAC and Celestial Trade, one T-3 aviation type and the other T-4 land combat type, were already capable of most battlefields. Instead of continuing in a field without opponents, it was better to use scientific research resources in more useful places.
He didn't expect Lin Lin and her sisters to complete the follow-up design of the X-1 experimental model, which was beyond Jiang Chen's expectation.
"Why is it called N-100 instead of N-1?" Jiang Chen touched the head of the power armor, looked at the number painted on the back of the power armor, and asked, puzzled.
"Because N-1 was an early power armor installed by Pan-Asia Cooperation in the last century, developed by East Asia Heavy Industries. Later, for various reasons, the N series was abolished and replaced by the standard that has been used until now, namely the police P series and the military T series. " Lin Lin shrugged and explained in a casual tone, "In order to avoid duplication or confusion, I simply named this power armor that is unlikely to have a sequel N-100. As for what letter the X should be replaced with, I'm afraid only those who have flown for god knows how many light years will know."
"Regardless," Jiang Chen looked at Lin Lin, smiled, and said, "Thank you for doing so much for me."
It wasn't just to thank the power armor.
Since the beginning of the Garden of Eden Project, Lin Lin had helped him a lot.
To be honest, even now when he recalled the scene in Fallout Shelter 005, when he scared the little girl to the point she peed her pants, he still couldn't help but blush.
"You're welcome." Avoiding Jiang Chen's gaze, Lin Lin blushed and looked to the side. She coughed and said with a trembling voice, "I heard that North America is very dangerous … In short, you have to be careful over there."
"Mhmm."
Jiang Chen replied with a smile. He reached out to the top of Lin Lin's head and was about to rub the silver-white hair. But for some reason, as soon as his hand touched Lin Lin's hair, Lin Lin turned around and ran away with a red face.
Looking at the back of the little girl running away, Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback and awkwardly retracted his hand.
When he turned around, Sun Jiao was standing at the door of the backyard of the mansion. She looked at him with teasing eyes and whistled mischievously.
"Before you left, you flirted with another woman in front of me. Should I 'punish' you?"
"Let's talk about it when I come back … No, it's not certain who will be punished!"
[Fu * k, I almost got tricked!]
Jiang Chen glared at Sun Jiao. In the latter's "provocative" eyes, he threw the power armor into the storage dimension, turned around, and walked to the back door of the mansion.
"I don't want to persuade you …" Sun Jiao looked at Jiang Chen who walked in front of her. She gently bit her lower lip, reached out, and gently adjusted his collar. She said in a reluctant tone, "In short, if you have to go, you must be careful over there."
"I know." Jiang Chen squeezed her white hand, and the sincere expression on his face was suddenly replaced by a smirk. "Wait for me to come back to punish you."
After he said this, Jiang Chen unexpectedly reached out and slapped Sun Jiao's butt.
The great atmosphere was instantly destroyed.
In the latter's angry exclamation and the rain of punches, Jiang Chen laughed and hid in the living room. When he passed by the living room, he did not forget to wave goodbye to Yao Yao and Xiaorou.
"Goodbye, wait for me to come back. Right, this trip is quite far. Do you have any souvenirs you want? I'll bring them back for you. "
Xiaorou, who was sitting on the sofa, smiled as she watched the two play at the door.
"Just bring yourself back."
Yao Yao, who was sitting on the side, waved her hand and said in a soft voice.
"No need to bring any souvenirs, just come back safely."
"You really don't need a souvenir? Okay, I'll take care of it. " Taking a deep breath, Jiang Chen suddenly took half a step forward and kissed Sun Jiao, who was waving her fists angrily, on the lips. While Sun Jiao was stunned, Jiang Chen quickly put on his shoes and disappeared outside the door …
