"Weather weapon." Gerrard flicked off the ash on the cigar and continued, "2150 years ago, it was used as a climate regulator in North America to respond to natural disasters such as tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, and blizzards. After 2150, it was given a new mission. The need to fight is no longer limited to nature, but also our old enemy. "
"Old enemy?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Yes, Soviet, Pan-Asian Cooperation … All centralized empires that go against free will are our old enemy." Gerrard looked up at Jiang Chen and said calmly, "As early as twenty years ago, the weather weapon was activated, and it has not been turned off until today."
It had not been turned off until today.
Somehow, after listening to Gerrard's words, Jiang Chen suddenly had a terrifying thought when he thought about the climate difference between the West Coast and Los Santos.
If this weather weapon had been in operation since before the war, then the abnormal climate on the Pan-Asian continent was likely to be more than just a nuclear winter …
"That's all I know. I've told you everything I can." Gerrard looked at Jiang Chen.
"Thank you for your cooperation." Jiang Chen stood up, smiled, and extended his right hand to Gerrard. "In order to express my gratitude to you, I will ask someone to change you to a room with a window."
When Gerrard heard Jiang Chen's words, he was slightly taken aback.
A room with a window was naturally outside the dungeon. He didn't understand why Jiang Chen did this. He had nothing to confess, but he didn't expect that he, who had lost his value, could still receive such preferential treatment.
After leaving the dungeon, Jiang Chen fulfilled his promise and asked someone to change Gerrard into a clean room.
Not only that, Jiang Chen even changed his daily meals from two nutrient supplies to two dishes and one soup, and it was the kind that could fill one's stomach with rice. In addition to still not allowing him to communicate with other captives, he could even get out of the room for two hours a day to get some fresh air.
For obedient captives, Jiang Chen never mistreated them. He always believed that it was never torture that could pry open a person's mouth, but to give the interrogated a reason to be loyal to him.
For example, he could let him live a better life that the "UA" could never let him live.
Fortunately, on the wasteland where resources were scarce, it was too easy to corrupt a person.
A box of canned beef and two cigars could buy the loyalty of a fugitive. The soldiers on USS Obama were well-trained, and their psychological value may be slightly higher, but no matter how high it was, it was not even a drop in the bucket compared to Jiang Chen's assets in the modern world.
These material comforts were not only provided for Gerrard, but also used as an example for the other captives. Zheng Shanhe, who was attacking the cinema from the front, also caught several prisoners. Although his rank was not as high as Captain Gerrard's, his rank was not low either.
Jiang Chen believed that as long as the reward for betrayal was generous enough, even if he didn't ask anything, someone would definitely take the initiative to dig out some interesting information …
Han Yue, who was the supervisor, explained Captain Gerrard and returned to the Governor's Mansion.
He didn't have time to eat lunch, and he had spent a lot of energy in the afternoon. Although it wasn't even four o 'clock, his stomach was already growling.
So Jiang Chen didn't wait for the cafeteria to open. He directly took a self-heating lunch box from the storage dimension, then opened a can of beer and hurriedly finished this simple but enviable dinner.
After eating and drinking, Jiang Chen threw the lunch box and the empty can into the trash can. After a burp, he skillfully activated the interdimensional communication chip on his watch and called Lin Lin, who was working hard in the research institute.
The communication between the North American continent and the Pan-Asian continent was still blocked, but the Klein particle waves emitted by the interdimensional communication chip were not affected.
In the video call, Jiang Chen first briefly talked to her about the situation in North America and told her to tell Sun Jiao at dinner. Then he asked her about the weather weapon. Jiang Chen didn't expect that as soon as he said the words "West Coast Meteorological Monitoring Center", Lin Lin's expression instantly turned solemn.
"West Coast Meteorological Monitoring Center, where have I seen this name before?" Lin Lin paused, thought for a moment, and then said, "Well … it should be in my father's memo. At that time, the memo was placed together with the Garden of Eden and Fallout Shelter 005's advanced artificial intelligence project plans. If I remember correctly, the true identity of this meteorological monitoring center in the desert … should be NATO's weather weapon. "
For digitalized humans with a large number of chips implanted in their brains, memory was the only thing that was impossible to have any problems.
"I don't quite understand," Jiang Chen frowned slightly. "If this weather weapon is located on the West Coast, how does it affect the Pan-Asian continent on the other side of the Pacific Ocean?"
"It can be anywhere," Lin Lin shook her head. "I'll give a very simple example. Abstract the gas flowing near us into tightly packed balls, then no matter what I do now, I will hit a few balls. But the impact of my behavior on the entire system is not as simple as changing the motion of a few small balls, but it will eventually be reflected through the change in the motion vector of all the small balls."
"You mean … the butterfly effect?" Jiang Chen had a sudden realization.
"You can understand it this way. This is what the so-called weather weapon is all about." Lin Lin nodded approvingly at Jiang Chen's epiphany. "In a dynamic system, any small change may lead to a long-term and huge chain reaction in the entire system. The West Coast Meteorological Monitoring Center, by applying small 'variables' to the Pacific Rim monsoon, guides the power of nature itself, magnifies the variables infinitely, and eventually interferes with the global climate."
Mass and energy are always conserved, and what you get is always proportional to what you give. For the power of human beings, it was absolutely impossible to create snow out of thin air, or to drop the temperature of a city by ten or even twenty degrees in a winter, let alone summon the cold winter to freeze the entire Pan-Asian continent.
The reason why the weather weapon achieved this was not because of how amazing its energy was, but because it cleverly used technical means to transfer the blizzard that should have fallen on the North American survivors to the Pan-Asian people struggling on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
"Its core is a quantum computer," Lin Lin continued. "In the face of absolute computing power, there are naturally no secrets in front of it. It only needs to collect a small number of parameters, and it can calculate all the variables and quantities in the calculation formula according to a specific algorithm, and then interfere with the variables through special means. "
"In other words, the heavy snow in Wanghai is not completely a nuclear winter …"
"Correct." Lin Lin snapped her fingers and said, "Or in other words, we bear not only our share, but also the share that originally belonged to the other side of the Pacific Ocean."
