When he pushed open the door, the north wind blew snowflakes all over the ground.
Jiang Chen closed the door, hung his winter suit on the wall, and walked into the Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute.
Compared to the previous "small workshop", the current Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute was undoubtedly more presentable. A spacious lobby, a five-story building. Although there was still a shortage of researchers, at least the space was much larger.
He went straight to Jiang Lin's laboratory and saw that he was working with a few researchers in white coats around an oil drum that was as tall as two people.
Jiang Chen stepped forward and examined the oil barrel for a moment before he asked.
"This is?"
"It's called 'Messenger', a space telescope belonging to the Pan-Asia Cooperation. It can observe the original galaxy 13.8 billion light years from Earth and capture the light at the beginning of the Big Bang. It can directly observe galaxies within 1-50 light years and capture the landscape of the planet. It can also observe black holes, dark matter, and so on … "Jiang Lin put aside the matter at hand and explained to Jiang Chen.
"Oh my, where did you get this thing?" Jiang Chen stared at the thing and asked with interest.
"The Zhao Corporation got it. I heard it was from the Taipei Space Launch Center. This space telescope was originally used to explore extraterrestrial civilization, but before it was put into use, the Third World War broke out, so this thing was transported to the fallout shelter in Taipei … You asked me to collect all space-related equipment, so I bought it. "
"How much?"
"10000 Alliance Credits." Jiang Lin shrugged.
10000 credits was a large sum of money for ordinary people, but it was nothing for NAC. If it was before the war, the cost of this space telescope would be at least ten billion Pan-Asia dollars, but now, it was only worth a thousand cans of food.
"Good quality and cheap, you did a good job." Jiang Chen smiled and then examined the thing a few more times. "How is it, can this thing be repaired?"
"This thing wasn't broken, it just wasn't completed. The survivors in Taipei sold the blueprints and ground monitoring equipment to us. We just need to digest the technology, build the remaining parts, and then install it. "
Once this space telescope was completed and launched by Celestial Trade, the mystery of Natural Selection and Gliese 581g would also be completely unveiled by Celestial Trade. Only by seeing where their enemies were with their own eyes could the Earth civilization be considered to have the possibility of fighting them.
After ordering Jiang Lin to complete the space telescope as soon as possible, Jiang Chen left the Aerospace Science and Technology Institute. On the way to the community center, he happened to bump into Wang Qin who was looking for him.
Judging from her expression, she seemed to be in a hurry.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Chen stopped and looked at her.
Wang Qing nodded.
"A distress signal came from Liuding Town."
"Liuding Town?"
With the increasingly close economic exchanges, although Liuding Town was still independent of the NAC-led order in Wanghai, it had now become a vassal of NAC. There was no other reason. Regardless of how strong their air force and long-range firepower were, their foundation was still at sea. Many things were heavily dependent on imports from the survivor bases on land.
It made sense. What kind of industry could a place the size of an aircraft carrier support?
More and more small and medium-sized survivor settlements longed for the order in the area under NAC's rule. With the increasingly close trade with the Sixth Street, they simply took the initiative to join the economic zone of NAC and accept the protection of the NAC military government. For this reason, they could also save a lot of tariffs and military expenses. These included the beer bottle company that supplied ammunition to Liuding Town, as well as the harbor town that had close trade with Liuding Town …
For these small and medium-sized survivor settlements, NAC gave them a high degree of autonomy. The only requirement was to abide by the NAC-designated constitution and pay taxes to NAC in accordance with the charter.
All the subordinates joined NAC, and Liuding Town naturally became NAC's subordinate. Although they were unwilling to accept this fact, after several internal meetings in Liuding Town, under the leadership of the capitalists led by Tang Miya, Liuding Town and NAC signed a defense alliance agreement symbolizing friendship.
Of course, NAC was obligated to respond to Liuding Town's distress signal.
But what he didn't expect was that he would encounter something like this when he came back at the last minute.
"The enemy is?" Jiang Chen looked at Wang Qin and asked.
"I'm not sure if it's the enemy …" Wang Qin shook her head. "A destroyer appeared near the Bohai aircraft carrier and has been hovering five kilometers away from the port of Wanghai. Because we are not sure if the other party is hostile, Liuding Town has been nervously dealing with it these days. "
Destroyer?
Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
What worried him was not the destroyer, but the new force that appeared in the waters near Wanghai. If they could own a destroyer, they must not be weak. Whether this destroyer was inherited from before the war or built by themselves, it was enough to prove that they were not easy to deal with.
And what surprised him the most was that someone could sail freely in the dangerous deep sea.
Jiang Chen heard from Zhao Chenwu that the Zhao Corporation had a small fleet, but they did not dare to leave the shallow sea and only sailed on land. The monsters in the sea were more than a hundred times more terrifying than those on land.
Apart from the polarized extreme mutant creatures, the strongest on land was the Mother of Death Claw, and it could only crawl in front of the Type-50 electromagnetic pulse cannon. In the ocean, whether it was the upper or lower limit, they were all unknown.
After all, the number, density, and size of the two species were not on the same order of magnitude. Not to mention anything else, a mutated blue whale was almost the size of a Bohai aircraft carrier. Jiang Chen had seen photos of the mutant blue whale taken by Nippon merchants. The enormous size made it difficult to think of what kind of weapon could be used to defeat it.
"Has Liuding Town contacted the people on the destroyer?"
"They have tried to contact them, but the other party seems to have a negative attitude towards dialogue."
Unwilling to start a dialogue, just hovering near the distant sea.
It was obvious that Liuding Town would feel nervous. The two sides were too close, and any misjudgment could lead to a misfire. If the destroyer fired, the Bohai aircraft carrier with a broken engine for more than 20 years wouldn't be able to hide.
"What does Liuding Town mean?" Jiang Chen asked.
"They want us to sign a mutual defense agreement," Wang Qin said.
Jiang Chen nodded and said after a moment of silence.
"Deploy a battalion of troops from the First Division to Hengsha Island and send an engineering team to build forts and fortifications on Hengsha Island. Leave this to Cheng Weiguo. He knows what to do."
"Hengsha Island is outside the jurisdiction of NAC. There are two mutant nests there. Do we send troops directly?" Wang Qin asked.
"Mutant nests? Perfect, NAC's artillery hasn't conducted military exercises for a long time. Clean the ground with a thousand incendiary bombs before entering the area. "Jiang Chen waved his hand and ordered.
"Yes!" Wang Qing saluted and left after receiving the order.
