"Good job. Can this satellite be completed by the beginning of January?"
"Beginning of January, but it's already the end of the month." Jiang Lin scratched his messy hair with a bitter smile and sighed. "I'll try my best. If Fallout Shelter 027 can quickly solve the cooling problem of the critical components, we'll be able to complete it soon."
"I'll go to Fallout Shelter 027 in a bit. I'll help you with this," Jiang Chen said.
At the beginning of January, Celestial Trade would begin the second satellite launch program. Based on the plan, the program would launch a high-power communication satellite to provide free Wi-Fi service to all of Xin in order to increase the tourism rating of Pannu Islands. Jiang Chen, of course, wouldn't be dumb enough to tell others that it was a quantum communication satellite. As for why the satellite could provide internet service below 20 ping delay, Celestial Trade wouldn't provide any explanation.
Considering Xin's diplomatic relationship with New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand, and other neighboring countries, the satellite would also provide paid Wi-Fi service to parts of these countries. As for the specific fee, Celestial Trade would send a representative to negotiate with the country's telecom operator to come up with a reasonable price.
The estimated monthly Wi-Fi usage would exceed five hundred thousand people to ensure a balance between maintenance fee and revenue.
"If you're planning to go to Fallout Shelter 027, bring this over for me." Jiang Lin seemed to have thought of something. He walked to the workbench and took a palm-sized circuit board from it.
"This is?" Jiang Chen took the circuit board from his hand and examined it for a moment, but he didn't see anything special about it.
"Good stuff. Zhao Corporation's merchant fleet traded a can of food from a scavenger when they passed through the Jinling area. " Jiang Lin laughed. "This is the first time I've seen such a complete sample of the XK92 biped mecha's power system control chip."
"You can build a mecha?" Jiang Chen was shocked.
But Jiang Lin touched his nose as he awkwardly looked away.
"Mecha … I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. But from the analysis of the power system control chip, it should be possible to improve the performance of our K1 kinetic skeleton, T-3, and T-4 power armors by a level. "
He was happy for nothing.
But it was better than nothing.
Jiang Chen rolled his eyes at Jiang Lin as he put the palm-sized chip back into the box and stuffed it into his pocket.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."
"Well, that's all. I heard that the steel airship at Camp 27 is almost ready. You can go and take a look. I saw it the last time I went to Camp 27. It was quite spectacular, "Jiang Lin said with a smile as he watched him leave.
…
When Jiang Chen arrived at Camp 27, he witnessed the glory of the airship.
It was a fortress made of steel, floating about 20 meters above the open space a hundred meters away from Camp 27. This "fortress" was tied by tough graphene cables and connected by steel scaffolding. The engineering robots and engineers worked together to complete the remaining 50% of the project under the fluttering snowflakes.
It had a total length of 100 meters and a width of more than 20 meters. It had a total of three decks. Its curved abdomen was like the belly of a seal, and its wide and wide bow was as ferocious as a shark.
The flat wings on both sides were connected to the turbine engine of the large transport helicopter to provide the forward thrust for the massive airship. And the mobile mechanical arm suspended directly below the airship provided a harbor for the transport helicopter to dock. The hundred-meter-long suspension cabin suspended by graphene could deploy up to four Tiger II tanks vertically to the ground at the same time.
The layout of the airship was an inverted concave shape. The top deck was a runway that allowed the Aurora-20 to take off and land vertically. The majority of the space inside the airship was the helium chamber that provided buoyancy. Only the middle deck and one-tenth of the internal space were available for personnel to move around. The lower deck was loaded with supplies and munitions. At the same time, there was space for a Type-50 J Model electromagnetic pulse cannon that could deal a devastating blow to long-range ground targets.
The main structure of the airship used superplastic steel intermittent armor as well as high-strength aluminum foam material. While retaining some protection against live ammunition, it minimized the net weight of the airship. Of course, the defense of the airship still relied on the nitrogen shield and laser anti-missile system, as well as the suppression of local air defense units by the ground forces.
In a practical sense, the main value of the airship was not to drop bombs on top of the enemy's head like in World War II, but to act as a "land aircraft carrier."
With a weight of less than 100 tons, it could carry 500 tons of heavy objects. There was no need to pass through dangerous areas filled with mutants and zombies. It minimized the wear and tear of the long journey inland. Without considering the firearms in the hands of the hostile humans, the airship was indeed a magical weapon in the apocalypse!
Since there were not many mutants that could fly in the sky.
Based on the chief engineer of the airship design, the current construction progress was 50% complete. It would take at most half a year to complete the construction. By then, the NAC's combat radius would expand to more than 500 kilometers, and the flag of order would be passed to further places.
Jiang Chen didn't stay too long outside of Camp 27 as he saw Xu Lu and Wang Zhaowu waiting for him at the door. After inspecting the Second Division stationed there, he followed Xu Lu to the underground Fallout Shelter 027.
Inside the research institute, Jiang Chen found Fang Weixian working with a colleague in a white lab coat around a watermelon-sized electronic device. That must be the key component of the quantum communication device. But from the frown on his face, it seemed like the problem of solving the cooling problem was not small.
Jiang Chen didn't want to disturb him. He handed the chip to the assistant in the research institute and simply rushed the development of the quantum communication device.
Jiang Chen didn't stay for long as he headed to the biotechnology research institute. He found the person in charge, Wang Fangping, and explained the purpose of his visit.
The attacker that was shot by Ayesha was currently being interrogated at the New Moon Island military base. Based on what Ivan said, the person wouldn't confess no matter what kind of torture, and any injury would heal at an unbelievable speed. Therefore, Jiang Chen thought of Wang Fangping, who was in the field of biotechnology research, and hoped to find an answer from him.
"Extremely strong recovery ability? Without the help of machinery and drugs? " When he heard Jiang Chen's description, Wang Fangping first paused before his eyebrows tightened. "There are a lot of ways to speed up recovery, sniper rifle wounds … There is a hidden genetic code called Tenacious that can achieve a similar effect."
Sun Jiao's hidden genetic code was endurance, and Jiang Chen personally witnessed the effect of that ability. Even after being shot multiple times, she could stand up from a pool of blood, but the cost was her life force. Although that was the case, Jiang Chen felt that the ability of the attacker had nothing to do with the genetic code.
Especially since there shouldn't be genetic vaccines in the modern world.
"Other than the genetic code, are there any other possibilities?" Jiang Chen asked.
"There are many other possibilities as well. Some dangerous modifications of the human body could also achieve the same effect, but such modifications usually resulted in adverse consequences. Also, mutated humans seem to fit your description, "Wang Fangping said in a half-joking tone.
