Chapter 990 Treasure Buried Deep in the Lake

In the middle of Poyang Lake, several boats painted with NAC symbols were parked quietly on the lake. Soldiers wearing exoskeletons stood on the side of the ship, holding rifles and carefully monitoring the underwater situation.

In this wasteland, places with water are always more dangerous than places without water. There may be a mire crab hidden behind every water plant. These alien species are covered in heavy armor, even if the Deathclaw encounters them, they will not benefit.

Wearing jet black power armor, Jiang Chen stood on the bow of the ship and glanced at the bottomless lake.

The clear lake surface is slowly rippled with discipline ripples. If it weren't for solid intelligence, no one would be able to believe that there are such amazing secrets buried under the lake water.

With two thousand scientists from all walks of life in research fields, this "treasure" is really important to Jiang Chen.

After a while, a knight came up behind him and bowed his head respectfully.

"The observers have scanned with life detection devices and there are no traces of mud crab activity within a radius of one mile. Our people are also ready and ready to go at any time."

"Then let's set off now." Jiang Chen ordered.

"yes!"

The fist hit the steel breastplate with a clean sound. Hu Cheng respectfully performed a military salute, turned around and took the order.

Under the leadership of this NAC knight, five soldiers wearing amphibious mechanical exoskeletons quickly gathered at the bow of the ship. Following the order, they jumped into the lake one after another.

Jiang Chen stood at the bow of the boat and waited quietly. It was only after the underwater advance team confirmed that the bottom of the lake was safe that he stepped into the lake.

As an individual armor that can pass through nuclear radiation areas, the average water depth is only about ten meters, which is naturally no problem for T3 power armor. After a while, Jiang Chen's feet stepped firmly on the soft bottom of the lake.

One or two mutated small fish swam over, biting the steel shell with their crooked teeth. Jiang Chen waved away these overestimating mutated creatures and walked towards the position marked on the holographic screen.

Like most shelters, the entrance to this unorganized shelter is a circle with a diameter of more than ten meters long. Only it is not embedded in the wall, but on the bottom of the lake covered with water and grass.

Time has not left any traces of rust on its body, and the shiny alloy seems to have been cast just yesterday. In the center of this giant round door, the words T7 are painted.

“This is it.

"

A string of bubbles burst out from the gaps in the armor. Jiang Chen looked at the knight who was also wearing power armor and nodded. He took out the ruby-encrusted pendant from his waist and walked toward the center of the giant steel door.

"Let me do it." Hu Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to stop the marshal and volunteered.

As a knight of the NAC, how could there be any reason for the marshal to put himself in danger?

However, Jiang Chen just shook his head.

"It's okay, it's unlikely that there is a mechanism here."

The entire 118 Shelter has been merged under the banner of NAC, and Lu Yihua has no reason to lie to himself.

Only tombs need tomb-guarding agencies. If it was to send knowledge and hope to the future, then the people who built this shelter had no reason to put weapons inside.

In the center of the giant steel door, as Lu Yihua described it, you can see a circular concave.

Jiang Chen placed the silver disc at the end of the pendant and gently turned it half a turn to the right.

The ruby ​​embedded in the center of the disc is the core of the key. Through special gem processing technology, tens of G codes are engraved in the direction of the construction of the shelter. The secret key created using this encryption method cannot be deciphered even by the computing power of an experimental quantum computer.

The current followed the silver disc and passed through the ruby.

Strings of bubbles emerged densely from the edge of the giant round steel door and rushed towards the lake.

With a slight tremor, the giant door began to slowly sink.

"Something's not right here...Marshal, please come out first." Hu Cheng quickly stepped forward to protect Jiang Chen, looking around nervously. The five soldiers wearing amphibious exoskeletons around him also nervously set up their underwater rifles, alert to possible threats.

"Don't be nervous, it's just an elevator." Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile, stretched out his hand to press down the muzzle of the gun that Hu Cheng had set up, and signaled everyone not to be nervous.

Everyone followed the giant steel door as it slowly sank. In less than half a minute, the giant door that originally protruded from the ground turned into a deep pit. When the giant door sank to a certain height, the entire giant door stopped there with a "click" like a bullet entering the chamber.

The top of the pit began to shrink, like a dome covering everyone's heads, sealing the exit.

When the dome is completely closed, the signal lights in the pit light up, lighting up the entire space.

Immediately afterwards, the water level began to drop. It was not until it was completely drained that the vertical well wall slowly opened a door.

"It turns out this thing is not a door, but an elevator."

After taking a look around, he saw steep steel walls everywhere. Hu Cheng put away the underwater rifle in his hand, muttered something to himself, took off the tactical rifle from his waist and held it in his hand.

At this time, Jiang Chen had already walked to the open iron door.

But just when he was about to step through the door, he stopped with a slight frown.

On the open iron door, he saw a familiar sign.

He reached out and gently touched the raised badge. His soft alloy-covered fingertips followed the lines and swept away the dust on the outline. If he remembered correctly, the company that owned this trademark had a famous name.

"East Asia Heavy Industries..." Withdrawing his hand, Jiang Chen muttered the name.

"What's wrong?" Hu Cheng, who was wearing steel armor, walked to his side with dull steps. He picked up a flashlight and shined it into the darkness behind the door. However, except for a long and narrow corridor, he couldn't see anything special at all. s things.

"Where's that pendant? Take it off and give it to me." Jiang Chen turned his head and looked at the knight who came down with him and ordered.

"yes!"

Hu Cheng nodded respectfully, walked back to the center of the giant round door, bent down and took out the pendant from the groove, and gave it to Jiang Chen.

After taking the pendant from the knight's hand, Jiang Chen waved to the soldiers behind him, motioning for them to follow, and then walked up the corridor.

Under the leadership of Hu Cheng, six people held rifles and guarded Jiang Chen's left and right.

Soon, the group came to the end of the corridor.

Jiang Chen took out the key again, placed it on the card reader of an alloy door and scanned it.

After reading the code in the ruby, the alloy door slowly opened, and the cold light lamps that were turned on one after another lit up the dark space. Gradually, he saw clearly the spectacle behind the door, and Jiang Chen's pupils gradually enlarged, blooming with a color of surprise.

Like the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, there are about two thousand oval-shaped dormant chambers in a space covering tens of thousands of square meters. The white shell is like a body-sized goose egg lying sideways, entangled with pipes as thick as a forearm, entangled with the main control computer and life-support device in the center.

This is not a shelter, but a time machine.

From the past decades ago to the present future, what is carried is the fire called civilization.

"Wait for me here."

After leaving these words, Jiang Chen walked towards the dome closest to him with the indescribable excitement in his heart, reached out and pressed the button with the words "End Sleep" written on it.

The smooth "cartridge" opened a neat crack, and cold white mist spurted out from the crack.

Like breaking out of a cocoon and being reborn, the shell of the dormant chamber slowly opened, revealing the girl lying in the shell, with skin as smooth as mutton-fat jade.

However, when he saw the man's face clearly, Jiang Chen's excited mood suddenly cooled down as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him.

Suddenly thinking of something, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the central control computer.

This device seems familiar...

As if confirming his guess, the cold display screen slowly lit up, and a man in a suit appeared in the center of the screen.

He was sitting on an office chair, with the night view of Wanghai City before the war behind him.

That expressionless face seemed to lack interest in everything.

"Hello, future friend...Looking at your expression, have you seen me somewhere?" (To be continued.):
