On the way to the interstellar era, many technologies were prerequisites for interstellar navigation. For example, controllable nuclear fusion, warp drive, shield technology, high-power energy weapons, and so on.
Because of differences in ideology, there were significant differences in the emphasis of the technology tree between countries. For example, in shield technology, Pan-Asia Cooperation was undoubtedly at the forefront of the world.
And the Holy Shield System was one of the representatives.
The city defense system built in 2147, after countless updates over the decades, finally encompassed the entire Wanghai City in a protective shield. Although limited by the defects of the technology itself, the Holy Shield System could not completely withstand the bombardment of God's Cane, it still bought valuable time for the citizens to enter the fallout shelter.
In the virtual reality game where he met Lin Lin, Jiang Chen had seen that scene.
A waterfall-like beam of light poured on the dome of the city, and countless light particles danced in the sky. If one didn't think about the meaning of death behind it, the picture was indeed beautiful.
"Holy Shield System? Of course I've heard of it. Is there a problem? "Jiang Chen took a sip of the steaming black tea and looked at Lu Minghui thoughtfully.
"I believe Mr. General has noticed that the nuclear winter is coming. Soon, the entire land will be covered with ice and snow. Even the strongest and most resilient mutants will have to change their living habits and migrate underground or south. " After he finished this sentence, Lu Minghui looked at Jiang Chen. "For us humans, it is the same. This land will no longer be suitable for us to survive."
After listening to his words, Jiang Chen smiled and said half-jokingly.
"So, you plan to find us and order a space colonization ship to fly into space?"
"Of course not." Lu Minghui shook his head. "Although we believe in doomsday, we are not complete escapists. Unless forced by life, I don't think anyone is born to want to escape from their home. "
"Then what is your proposal?"
"The Holy Shield System is the key to dealing with the nuclear winter." Staring into Jiang Chen's eyes, Lu Minghui continued, "In the first three years, the Holy Shield System was designed to deal with natural disasters such as typhoons. After the economic crisis, Pan-Asia Cooperation added strategic defense functions to it. "
The words of the bishop surprised Jiang Chen.
The original design of the Holy Shield was not to shield cannons and missiles, but to shield typhoons?!
So that was how it was …
In that case, the treasure mentioned in the declaration of war that the Northern Alliance Area sent a long time ago turned out to be the Holy Shield.
"I remember it was destroyed." Jiang Chen recalled what he saw in the virtual reality as he said in a quiet voice.
"It's not destroyed. It's just overloaded! Although it was no different from being destroyed, at least it wasn't to the extent of being beyond repair. We got the design drawings from the backup server of the National Defense Research Institute in Shangjing. It shouldn't be difficult to fix it with a little time. "
Lu Minghui's words made Jiang Chen's eyes light up.
Lu Minghui noticed the look of interest on his face. He smiled and spoke with glowing eyes.
"As long as we restart the Holy Shield System, we can isolate the entire Wanghai from the wasteland. As long as the energy supply is maintained, nuclear winter is nothing! "
"If you can maintain the energy input." Jiang Chen's finger gently knocked on the table. "Have you considered the energy source?"
"Although there is no way to get helium-3, the deuterium-tritium reaction is also a good choice. Deuterium and tritium are abundant in the ocean. Even if it's not environmentally friendly, no one cares about that now, "Lu Minghui said.
Compared to the subway plan of the Hang Merchant Alliance, the Dusk Church's proposal to restart the Holy Shield was obviously more reliable. Transfer all the factories of the Sixth Street underground? Are you kidding me? Production machinery and factories were not tables that could be moved and placed anywhere.
Jiang Chen looked at the snow that was getting heavier outside the window. He retracted his gaze from the window and looked at the white mist above the teacup.
"Your proposal has convinced me, but I still have a question."
"Please."
"Shangjing also has an urban defense system similar to the Holy Shield. Why did you choose Wanghai instead of your current base, Shangjing?" Jiang Chen asked the question in his mind.
Lu Minghui was not surprised by Jiang Chen's question. He made a helpless expression and explained to him, "Shangjing was one of the political centers of Pan-Asia Cooperation before the war, and the number of fallout shelters was also the largest in Pan-Asia. This also means that when the war ended, it was far more chaotic than other places. The survivors were divided into factions, and the network of relationships was complex. "
At this point, Lu Minghui paused for a moment and sighed.
"The most important thing is that the xenophobia of the local survivor groups is far beyond our imagination. Even if we have migrated to Shangjing for several years, we still can't gain their trust. Now that the nuclear winter is approaching, survival supplies are becoming more and more scarce, and the relationship between the survivor forces has deteriorated to an unimaginable degree. "
"So you chose us." Jiang Chen smiled.
"Yes," Lu Minghui said seriously.
In the negotiation, the bishop had shown enough sincerity, but Jiang Chen was not in a hurry to give him a reply.
"The so-called covenant is an equal alliance relationship. I won't beat around the bush. We can fix the Holy Shield system ourselves. In this case, what benefits can we get from your alliance? "
"The Northern Alliance Area is also our enemy. We are willing to work with you to fight against the threat from the Northern Alliance Area. In addition, we will offer you a tribute. I believe you will be interested. "
Jiang Chen noticed that Lu Minghui used the word tribute in a very interesting way. He raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.
"Oh? What is it? "
"Stingray X-1, a small multi-purpose aerospace aircraft … a sample. I heard that you have a hobby of collecting space vehicles? If the rumor is true, I believe this' artwork 'produced in Jiuquan Launch Center will definitely satisfy you, "Lu Minghui said respectfully.
…
The covenant was successfully concluded.
For Jiang Chen, the Stingray X-1 was a pleasant surprise. However, even without that thing, Jiang Chen would consider forming an alliance with this branch of the Dusk.
According to Sun Xiaorou, this branch belonged to the Guardian Sect in the Dusk Church, which was completely different from the escapism advocated by Bo Yu. The differences in doctrine also made the relationship between the two sides not so harmonious, so during the migration, the two sides parted ways. One went down the river, and the other went to Shangjing.
Compared to the brainwashed religious lunatics led by Bo Yu, the followers of the Sect of the Tomb Keepers were much more pragmatic. Jiang Chen promised that after the restart of the Holy Shield, he would designate an autonomous zone for them in Wanghai, allowing them to retain their traditions and formulate their own laws based on the NAC Constitution.
After the covenant was concluded, the Guardian Sect of the Dusk Church in Shangjing would send a force of 5,000 people south to Wu City to support the Second Division of the NAC to fight against the threat from the Northern Alliance Area.
After the threat of the Northern Alliance Area was removed, the two sides agreed to immediately launch the "Restart the Holy Shield" plan to cope with the growing nuclear winter …
