When Jiang Chen and the others returned to the military outpost, the cooking stove was already being cleaned up.
The logistics personnel who were cleaning up saw the general had just returned and immediately went up to him to ask if he needed to light up the stove again.
But Jiang Chen declined his offer and took Sun Xiaorou to the general's barracks.
"The day before yesterday, it was pizza. Yesterday, it was spaghetti. What should we eat today?" On the way back to the room, Sun Xiaorou had a faint smile on her face. Her index finger pressed against her lower lip as she said happily.
It was a luxury for the people on the wasteland.
Jiang Chen glanced at the innocent smile and mocked in his mind.
"How about seafood fried rice?"
Although fried rice was not as good when reheated, Jiang Chen still wanted to eat rice.
"No, I still want to eat pizza." Sun Xiaorou gently hugged Jiang Chen's arm and used her innocent eyes to look at Jiang Chen. She used her usual trick.
"Okay, okay, I said don't act cute here. It won't be good if people see it." Jiang Chen wanted to pull his arm out, but she naughtily hugged him even tighter.
"Hehe, it's not a big deal." Sun Xiaorou mischievously blinked.
Very few people passed by the general's quarters, and the usual patrols were mostly done by drones, so there was no need to worry about being seen.
Just as Sun Xiaorou thought about it, she immediately made eye contact with Han Junhua, who was standing at the door.
Sun Xiaorou let go, stuck out her tongue, and jumped to the side.
Han Junhua slightly tilted her head and looked at Jiang Chen expressionlessly. "Do you need me to step aside?"
"No, it's okay." Jiang Chen awkwardly coughed. "Is something the matter?"
Since they were in the military camp, although there was no one around, it was still a public area. It would be bad for them to be intimate. As the general, he should pay more attention to this.
Han Junhua nodded and handed over the insulated lunch box in her hand.
"You just came back from Fallout Shelter 071. You should still be hungry. I asked the cook to make an extra portion. "
But Jiang Chen didn't take the lunch box. He just stared at her blankly. Standing beside him, Sun Xiao Rou's reaction was no less than Han Junhua's. She looked at Han Junhua in astonishment.
"Is there anything strange?" Han Junhua asked in confusion when she saw the two's blank expressions.
"Nothing, I just feel that …" Jiang Chen collected his thoughts and smiled apologetically. He reached out and took the lunchbox that was suspended in the air. "It doesn't seem like something you would do."
"Did I?" Although her face remained expressionless, Jiang Chen could read the confusion in her eyes.
At the same time, Jiang Chen also clearly felt that the smiling eyes next to him were a bit prickly …
After Han Junhua left, the two returned to the barracks.
Jiang Chen opened the lunch box and looked at the square-shaped rice and vegetables on the ground. A curvature appeared on his face.
This weird way of serving food was indeed Han Junhua's style.
A few strands of hair fell on her shoulders. Sun Xiaorou moved closer to Jiang Chen's face from behind, her red lips curled up with a hint of jealousy.
"Brother-in-law is really popular."
"Did I?"
"Of course." Sun Xiaorou unhappily bit Jiang Chen's ear and then continued, "Well … But if it's Sister Junhua, she wouldn't mind."
Jiang Chen's eyebrows twitched as he threw the lunchbox into the storage dimension, speechless.
[This girl is getting more and more naughty.]
If he didn't "punish" her, where would his dignity as the head of the family go?
"Hehe, brother-in-law is angry? Ya-! "
Jiang Chen suddenly stood up, and as Xiaorou screamed, he put her on his shoulder.
"Eh? Sister, brother-in-law, what are you doing? "
"Wait, wait, Xiaorou is so hungry, can you wait a bit?"
"Don't … boohoo …"
"Gulp … gulp …" (Sound of drinking water)
[Hehe, now you know fear?] [Too late!]
Looking at the pouting Xiaorou with a face full of resentment, Jiang Chen smiled wickedly.
…
The next morning, the second supply airship also arrived at Hucheng.
In addition to bringing a large amount of supplies, the airship also brought NAC's most powerful drone units – Reptile and Python.
However, according to the captain, this trip was not a peaceful one.
When they flew over the Yellow Mountain area, the airship encountered anti-air machine guns. Fortunately, they were above the clouds at that time. Although some of the bullets hit the airbag at the bottom of the airship, the bullets at the end of their flight didn't penetrate it.
"The information that we're transporting supplies through the airship is known by the survivor groups along the way. Although we're flying above the clouds, we're a large target and can be easily captured by radar. And our speed can't go fast. Once we're locked on, we'll be a live target. It's a good thing they used machine guns instead of anti-air cannons. "When the captain recalled what happened that night, his expression was still full of fear.
After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Chen came up with a solution.
"I'll send Aurora-20 to escort when we return."
With Aurora-20's ground-based attack ability, it shouldn't be a problem to take out a few anti-air machine guns. [Someone dares to target NAC's supplies? They must be tired of living.]
"That's for the best. Maybe they'll bring out anti-air cannons next time." The captain smiled bitterly.
But sending fighter escorts wasn't a long-term solution.
The special fuel used by Aurora-20 wasn't high in production, but the cost was astronomical. The cost of a flight mission was around 1000 credits per hour, and the cost of a transport mission was instantly multiplied. It was more cost-effective to purchase supplies locally.
Before the conversation ended, Jiang Chen ordered him to stay at the base for three days before leaving, and to bring back the quantum computer discovered in Fallout Shelter 071. The entire Camp 27 scientists shared three experimental quantum computers, so it wasn't hard to imagine how much the NAC lacked.
Because of this, Jiang Chen was determined to obtain the quantum computer research institute!
Whether it was for the modern world's virtual reality network or for the development of NAC, he must master the production technology of the quantum computer.
"Is there any news from the quantum computer research institute?" Jiang Chen sat in the office and asked Wang Zhaowu.
"We've posted a notice in the market outside the outpost offering a reward for information on the research institute, but we haven't received any useful information," Wang Zhaowu said regretfully.
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows.
The advisor of Federation only vaguely told him that it was within Empire's borders, but the entire east of Gang River to the west of Panyang Lake was within Empire's borders. With such a large area, where would he find the small research institute?
Just then, the alarm suddenly sounded outside the door.
Jiang Chen and Wang Zhaowu looked at each other.
The two immediately got up and walked out.
