After arranging the asteroid capture plan and the space elevator, Jiang Chen returned to the apocalypse. He only spent a little time with Sun Jiao before he was pulled into the laboratory by Lin Lin.
"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry? "Jiang Chen couldn't help but ask as he watched Lin Lin excitedly pull him into the laboratory.
"Don't worry so much, just follow me!"
Lin Lin closed the door, let go of Jiang Chen's hand, took two steps to a machine, and removed the dust-proof cloth covering it.
"Jiang Chen ~ Guess what this is?" With her small chest puffed out, Lin Lin proudly showed Jiang Chen the machine that was about the height of a person.
Jiang Chen stared blankly at the strange-looking machine and couldn't react for a while.
The cylindrical body, Jiang Chen carefully searched his memory and couldn't find a matching shape in his memory.
"What … is this thing?"
"An enhanced version of the magnetic confinement device. Compared with the previous prototype, this enhanced version of the magnetic confinement device can store up to 1g of antimatter." Lin Lin patted the iron lump and said proudly.
"In other words … if this thing explodes, it's equivalent to three strategic nuclear bombs?" Jiang Chen glanced at the machine and his eyebrows twitched.
"Yes, the explosive yield is equivalent to three nuclear bombs." Lin Lin corrected Jiang Chen's statement and then said, "In terms of power, it's comparable to ten nuclear bombs exploding at the same time!"
F * ck, this is enough to blow up a small planet into smithereens!
As if she saw through Jiang Chen's thoughts, Lin Lin coughed, pointed her finger on the shell of the machine, and added, "Of course, now there is only 0.01 mg of antimatter inside. It is not easy to collect antimatter in the atmospheric environment. If you have a way to help me build a laboratory in outer space … "
"You know, that's impossible." Jiang Chen sighed.
The wreckage of the war had covered the earth's outer space, almost forming a planetary ring composed of space garbage. It wasn't that he didn't consider launching satellites in the apocalypse, but limited by environmental factors, it was almost impossible to achieve.
Lin Lin also sighed and shrugged.
"Then we can only take it slow."
"Right, how is the progress of the research on living creatures?" Although antimatter was a prerequisite for carrying living creatures, Jiang Chen was more concerned about this issue than antimatter.
"If it's just microorganisms or bugs, there's no problem, but there's a slight problem with the device when it comes to small animals like hamsters. It would be troublesome to explain. Perhaps there was a lack of energy? Maybe the 'door' is too narrow? "Lin Lin muttered to herself and fell into deep thought.
Seeing that Lin Lin had nothing else to talk to him about, he left the lab.
…
After lunch, the snow outside the house lessened a little.
He put on winter clothes and boots, left the mansion alone, and headed to the community center. When the patrolling sentries saw him, they all automatically saluted him. From their pupils, Jiang Chen could clearly feel the respect from the bottom of their hearts.
Stepping into the command center, Han Junhua was standing in front of the command desk, looking at the holographic map, thinking about something.
After noticing that Jiang Chen came in, she retracted her thoughts from the map and looked at Jiang Chen.
"You came?"
Jiang Chen walked next to Han Junhua and asked nonchalantly.
"What's new?"
The laser pointer in her hand pointed to the location of Wu City on the holographic map, and Han Junhua said in a deep voice.
"Our pilots found that their armed forces have been mobilized abnormally when investigating the Northern Alliance Area. The vanguard force is expected to reach 2,000 people, and the follow-up force may be more than 10,000 people equipped with a large number of pre-war equipment. Although it's difficult to understand, they seem to plan to take Wu City in winter. "
Although even the Aurora-20 was at an extreme disadvantage in the face of pre-war air defense weapons, it was still possible to maintain a safe distance for reconnaissance. If it was just the pre-war rifles and individual armors, it was not a big deal. The T-series power armor that was further developed after the war may not be weaker than the P-series before the war, but tanks like the Wanderer were a bit of a headache.
In order to destroy a Wanderer tank of the Crimson Chamber of Commerce, Zhao Chenwu was forced to use the anti-ship Disaster-32 cruise missile. Based on the description of the Aurora-20, the Northern Alliance Area had a large number of Wanderers.
If the armored units of both sides encountered each other, it would be a tough battle.
Looking at the red dots and arrows on the map, Jiang Chen fell into deep thought.
"Junhua, you used to be the commander of the PAC Mechanized Brigade. For dealing with the Wanderer tank … do you have any good suggestions?"
Han Junhua rubbed her chin and said expressionlessly.
"The Wanderer tank mainly relies on the superconducting armor of the Meissner effect, which can completely nullify metal warheads. It is known as the nemesis of electromagnetic pulse cannons. But even with insulated warheads, it is difficult to penetrate the 140mm Type A steel armor. And EMP, laser, microwave, etc., are basically ineffective against tanks produced after 2200, so it can be ignored. "
"So … there is no weakness at all?" Jiang Chen smiled bitterly.
Han Junhua shook her head.
"There is no weapon without weakness, even the strongest PAC main battle tank. First of all, endurance was its weakness. Maintaining the Meissner armor required a large amount of electricity, and the 112-ton weight itself was also a big problem. Even with the dual-core fusion core as the power source, it was difficult for this tank to maintain combat for a long time. Tactically, avoid direct contact as much as possible, and strategically cut off supplies … In addition, continuous attacks with incendiary bombs are also effective against this tank. "
"How is our force deployment in Wu City?" Jiang Chen continued to ask.
"Wang Zhaowu has already led the Second Division to Hongcheng and sent an advance team of about two thousand people into Wu City to contact the local survivors. As the former PAC industrial center, Wu City still has a lot of robot factories. The local survivors modified many civilian robots into combat robots with considerable combat power. If possible, we can use crystals to recruit the local survivors to fight for us, "Han Junhua said.
"If we can recruit them, that would be the best." Jiang Chen nodded. A problem that could be solved with "money" was never a problem. NAC, with the resources of the entire modern world, didn't need to worry about supplies.
He suddenly noticed the distance between Hanzhong and Wu City. Jiang Chen's eyebrows furrowed as he pondered.
"But the distance of 750 kilometers … How do they plan to get here?"
He heard that the mutants in the north were different from those in the south. Creatures like Death Claws would usually hibernate in winter, but most of the mutants in the north didn't have a hibernation period. If they wanted to go from Hanzhong to Wu City, just the mutants along the way would be enough to make them suffer.
Jiang Chen shook his head and put the problem aside for the time being. But just as he was about to discuss the deployment of forces with Han Junhua, there was a knock on the door. After receiving permission, Wang Qin pushed the door open and reported.
"Kong Qian from the Hang Merchant Alliance is here to see you."
