In the past month, the development of the apocalypse was relatively stable.
There were no signs of civil war on the streets of the Sixth Street, and the radiation index of the Inner Circle returned to normal. To prevent similar incidents from happening again, Chu Nan commanded the Sixth Street's militia to seize and confiscate the hidden tactical nuclear bombs in the Sixth Street.
Most of these tactical nuclear bombs were picked up from the ruins. Even with advanced technology, in the ever-changing battlefield, these weapons that normally wouldn't be duds were not completely reliable.
Although the World Alliance Organization collected these "dangerous goods" to a certain extent, a lot of duds still ended up in the hands of ordinary survivors. Later, with the launch of the colonization ship and the disbandment of the World Alliance Organization, the recycling project was declared bankrupt.
The duds only needed to be slightly processed to remove the nuclear components from the warhead and processed with special equipment to create a simple nuclear bomb.
Even in the ruins of a civilization that had been destroyed by nuclear bombs, nuclear weapons were still the most effective killing tool.
Needless to say, Chu Nan certainly had a knack for governing. The military police, armed with detectors, conducted a carpet search of the entire Sixth Street. It only took three days to confiscate all the private tactical nuclear bombs in the Sixth Street.
For those who voluntarily surrendered the nuclear weapons, the Sixth Street military government compensated them according to the market price. For those who disobeyed, the punishment was permanent banishment.
It was not that there were no voices of resistance, but because only a small number of people possessed nuclear weapons. And the military government that stabilized the situation immediately took a firm stance and carried out the suppression to the end. The voices of resistance didn't even form into a large scale before they all stopped.
When faced with the two options of mutual destruction and compromise, almost no one would choose the former.
On the other hand, under Jiang Chen's order, the Fishbone base established an aerospace technology department with Jiang Lin as the head responsible for the development and improvement of the spacecraft. This move also fulfilled Jiang Chen's promise to Jiang Lin to invest in his aerospace dream.
Of course, the dream couldn't be separated from reality. For now, the main mission of the aerospace technology department was not to design the warp drive that no one knew when, but to design and produce long-range missiles that could be equipped with nuclear components to counter the deterrence of Liuding town's electromagnetic cannon.
Based on what Sun Jiao said, the Fishbone base had set up five simple missile launchers in Qingpu and deployed five W-1 ballistic missiles equipped with nuclear weapons. Of course, the nuclear components were forcibly confiscated, and the W-1 ballistic missile was designed by Jiang Lin from beginning to end.
The missile's power component was powered by a small civilian rocket thruster, and the missile's shell was coated with an anti-laser scattering layer.
From a technical perspective, compared to the Disaster-32 that symbolized the pinnacle of pre-war military technology, the W-1 ballistic missile independently designed and produced by the Fishbone base had a significant gap in anti-interception and accuracy, but it was enough to balance the threat of Liuding Town.
…
After listening to Sun Jiao's report, Jiang Chen went to the community center in the base and found the head of the logistics department, Wang Qin. He retrieved 100 kinetic skeletons, 400,000 7.62mm ammo for the Reaper Rifle, and hundreds of heat sensor grenades from the warehouse and moved them to the warehouse in the backyard of the mansion.
These resources would be brought to the modern world, and it wouldn't be long before they could be put to use.
Other than these conventional war resources, Jiang Chen also ordered Wang Qin to place an order with the military factory at the Sixth Street to produce 20 anti-tank rocket launchers, and 500 heat sensor grenades.
With this batch of war resources, he was like a mobile arsenal.
Combined with the mercenary base of one hundred people in Niger, without any exaggeration, Jiang Chen already had the power to start a small-scale modern war.
After the war preparations were completed, Jiang Chen immediately went to Lin Lin's lab.
He had a lot of questions about the strange image.
…
"Yo, psycho, you're back?" Lin Lin opened the door and saw it was Jiang Chen as she spoke out of habit.
He had silver-white long hair, a pair of red-black eyes, and a strange style of white shirt and white coat. He clearly had a cute face, but his unreserved words always ruined his beauty.
Jiang Chen was used to Lin Lin's sharp tongue as he ignored her greeting and placed the mango pudding on the table.
When Lin Lin saw her favorite pudding, she subconsciously swallowed her saliva as excitement bloomed in her eyes.
Seeing Lin Lin who was satisfied with a few puddings, Jiang Chen smiled.
"I'll eat it later, I have something to ask you."
Lin Lin rubbed the pudding box in her arms, wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, and reluctantly put the pudding aside.
"What is it?"
"During the video call yesterday, did you see something strange?"
"Something strange?" Lin Lin tilted her head and looked at Jiang Chen, puzzled. "I remember you hung up in the middle, and then I went to sleep."
"I knew it."
Jiang Chen pressed on the side of the EP and the memory chip popped out.
"I didn't hang up at the time … How should I say this? It's like a TV that's switched channels, and an unrelated video is suddenly inserted on the screen. "
Lin Lin paused for a moment before she took the chip from Jiang Chen's hand.
"That's impossible. This fourth-dimensional messenger is designed based on the affinity resonance effect of the Klein particle. Logically speaking, this special wave across the fourth dimension can only be transmitted between two chips made from the same crystal … "Lin Lin muttered the unknown theory as she inserted the chip into the slot of the holographic computer.
Light blue particles floated up and instantly formed a two-dimensional image.
"The video type is two-dimensional, the image quality is 3D, the size is only 52 kb … Did it go through high voltage?" Lin Lin's finger tapped on the holographic screen a few times as she replayed the video Jiang Chen saw last night.
The holographic screen began to shake, and after the snowflakes faded, the eerie figure appeared again.
For some reason, when he looked at the person with only a silhouette, Jiang Chen felt an unnatural discomfort.
Suddenly, he realized where this feeling came from.
"The uncanny valley effect," Jiang Chen murmured to himself as he watched the hand shaking at a constant speed.
Due to the fear of death, people would instinctively dislike things that were extremely similar to humans but not human.
"The uncanny valley effect? One hundred percent human is a troublesome creature. "Lin Lin's electronic eyes slightly contracted as she began to analyze the details of the influence.
But as the analysis went deeper, Lin Lin's expression became more and more serious.
Looking at Lin Lin repeatedly replaying the meaningless video, Jiang Chen was about to ask what was the meaning of this, but Lin Lin suddenly turned off the video.
With a long sigh, Lin Lin raised her hand and wiped the sweat on her forehead. She looked at Jiang Chen with a rare serious expression.
"The analysis of the video is complete … Before I tell you the analysis result, can I ask a question?"
"Go ahead."
"The history of your world … When did it start to go wrong?"
