[Fire at the Ministry of Geology?
But aren't they still inside?]
But the crew only hesitated for two seconds before they executed the order.
For the Fishbone knights, the leader's order was absolute.
"Target locked."
"Fire."
The gunner pressed the switch.
Buzz-!
The 10kg bomb penetrated the dome of the three-story building. The broken cement blocks peeled off like an avalanche and fell to the hollow basement, exposing the deep pit under the cement.
Rocks rained down, penetrating the spider web and smashing into the giant spider's back. Although the deflected bomb unfortunately embedded in the wall of the B12 floor and didn't directly hit the giant spider, the collapsed cement still crushed the spider web and crushed the giant spider to the lowest floor.
"Screech!"
A painful wail came from the other side of the hallway. The spider kicked its eight sturdy legs and tried to get up.
"Are you crazy, if this building collapses, we'll all —" Sun Jiao screamed.
Jiang Chen continued to order, "Continue firing."
Boom-!
The explosion of dust covered the other side of the hallway. Jiang Chen protected Yao Yao. Almost at the same time, the rolling dust crossed the hallway and poured into the data center. The flying rocks scraped the power armors of the two soldiers at the door.
There was no sign of life on the other side. Obviously, the spider was dead.
Sun Jiao shook off the dust on the rifle and stared at Jiang Chen.
"You almost buried us."
"I didn't." Jiang Chen innocently shrugged.
Yao Yao curled up behind Jiang Chen as she peeked out her trembling head.
"It's okay now." Jiang Chen rubbed Yao Yao's head and said casually.
"Woo —" But the little loli covered her head and squatted down.
"Idiot, your hands are full of dust," Sun Jiao complained in the private channel.
Jiang Chen awkwardly retracted his hand.
[This girl is getting more and more naughty. I'll teach you a lesson when I get back.]
Jiang Chen stared at Sun Jiao.
Although through the armor masks, neither of them could see each other's expressions.
…
He ordered the soldiers to extract samples from the giant spider and some spider eggs left on the wall before he ordered a retreat.
Although more than half of the buildings on the surface had collapsed, fortunately, the collapsed cement blocks did not all fall into the underground layer and bury everyone alive.
The spiral staircase had obviously been destroyed, so Sun Jiao carried Yao Yao. The four power armors emitted a blue light as they slowly ascended.
Although it did not alarm the zombies, the four iron lumps still attracted the attention of the thrower. These mutated zombies had very keen vision when they looked up. They were practically natural-born anti-air soldiers. The Thrower that was closer to the ruins threw the Companion Larva at Sun Jiao.
When Jiang Chen saw this scene, the tactical rifle on his waist was instantly pulled out. With his right hand holding the barrel upside down, he swung it at the incoming zombie like a baseball bat.
With a muffled bang, the rifle's butt sent the baby zombie flying back.
The group of zombies exploded in an instant.
"Fu * k, this thing's explosive power is this strong." Jiang Chen was shocked.
"Thank you." Holding the shivering Yao Yao, Sun Jiao playfully gave Jiang Chen a flirtatious look that he couldn't see.
"Thank me when we get back." Jiang Chen was holding the rifle as he aimed at the Thrower that was baring its teeth.
Bang!
A sniper bullet flew over and snapped its neck like lightning. It took down the head before Jiang Chen could do so.
Continuous gunshots came from afar. The Throwers that could only pose a threat to the five of them all had their necks snapped.
Jiang Chen paused for a moment before he gave a thumbs up to the distance.
The four power armors went straight through the ruins. After climbing up 300 meters, they boarded the helicopter that was descending. After they settled down, the helicopter flew to the building one thousand meters away.
After Zhao Gang boarded the helicopter, the pilot closed the door and began to fly back.
They flew out of the radiation zone. Jiang Chen opened his helmet and let out a long breath.
"Did you bring the USB?"
"Mhmm!" Yao Yao nodded seriously.
"Can you transfer the data to my EP now?"
"No problem."
The back of the armor cracked open as Jiang Chen crawled out from the power armor. He attached the nylon to the armor as he extended his left arm and handed the EP to Yao Yao.
Little Loli took out the holographic computer and imported the data from the USB. Then she connected the holographic computer to Jiang Chen's EP.
At this moment, Jiang Chen realized it was unnecessary. If he knew Yao Yao brought the holographic computer, he would have just used it to look at the video. In order to pursue stability, the screen of the EP was not only small, but it also didn't have a holographic function. It was inconvenient to use it to view the world map.
No wonder it was the economic center of PAC. The information from the Wanghai Geological Bureau was very comprehensive. It not only included the global mineral resource map that Jiang Chen wanted, but it also included the discovered deposits on the Moon and Mars.
He used the holographic computer to bring up the image and found the location of Pannu Islands in this world.
He filtered out the earthquake information and miscellaneous parameters that he didn't understand. Jiang Chen directly checked the map of the mineral veins.
When he saw the dense red dots, Jiang Chen's face was instantly filled with joy.
[Just as I expected, how could there be no mineral deposits in the vast ocean region of Pannu Islands?]
To the east of Ange Island, near New Guinea, was a rich mining area in the Pacific Rim of Earthquakes. In the 200 thousand square kilometers of deep ocean extending northeast, there were a total of 17 rich rare earth deposits scattered all over the place. The estimated rare earth reserves were 9.8 million tons, which was 1.5 times the amount of rare earth deposits discovered near Nanniao Island in 2012.
Other than rare earth resources, the reserves of iron, aluminum, manganese, copper, and gold were also shockingly high.
It couldn't be described as a simple treasure anymore. It could be called a windfall.
Jiang Chen wanted to run back right now and ask Yang Yuan to prepare for the mining as soon as possible so he could solve the rare earth problem that gave him a headache.
Deep-sea mining was a technical challenge for all countries in the 21st century, but it wasn't a big problem for Jiang Chen. He believed that with the 22nd century scientists in Fallout Shelter 027, there was no way they couldn't solve this small problem.
Of course, it was impossible for him to go back now.
If he really teleported back to the modern world at this altitude, he would have to freefall the next time he came back.
…
When he returned to the Fishbone base, Jiang Chen almost calmed down from the excitement.
The deep sea mining technology wasn't developed yet. Even if he went back now, it wouldn't be of much use.
After he parked the T-4 power armor in the armory, Jiang Chen went to find Wang Qin.
He handed the samples collected from the giant spider and spider eggs to her and ordered her to send it to Camp 27 as soon as possible for the researchers there to test.
After he finished, Jiang Chen stood in front of the community center for a moment with an evil smile on his face.
[Lin Chaoen, you dare to trick me? You really think I can't spare the time to deal with you?]
