Chapter 1031 Not Interesting News

In the early morning of May 4th, Jiang Chen met with Ms. Monica who had returned to China in the office on the top floor of the Future Man Building. Although she was also wearing a long black dress, her figure was much thinner than last time, and even her cheek bones were slightly highlighted.

It can be seen that she has been quite haggard during these days, and she has withstood a lot of challenges both physically and mentally.

Jiang Chen asked his secretary to change the coffee to hot cocoa.

Monica smiled and nodded to express her gratitude for the boss's thoughtfulness.

Holding the hot cocoa in her hand and taking a sip, she organized her thoughts in her mind and began to report on her work during this period.

"Carmen's whereabouts are still unknown. We have witnessed his whereabouts in manors in Switzerland, Finland and other places, but we have never met him head-on. However, while tracing his whereabouts, we intercepted a letter sent to Krug The letter from Bob’s company headquarters revealed very interesting information.”

"Is this the letter? It's the 21st century and there are still people who don't know how to use email." Jiang Chen picked up the opened envelope from the desk, grinned, and played with it in his hand. Next, “What do these numbers mean?”

"A special code." Monica nodded. "After deciphering it, we found that it was a cargo transfer document."

"What cargo?"

"A small part of the remains of the K1 mechanical exoskeleton comes from the Philippines, and most of it comes from Ukraine."

Jiang Chen's brows wrinkled slightly.

What he worried about most happened.

As long as there is a war, it is impossible to escape unscathed. Even with the most advanced technology, the orbital airborne brigade of Starlink Trading has lost more than 20 lives in a foreign country since its participation in the war.

As the most intense process of collision between two civilizations, the two sides in the war learn from and influence each other not only in their living habits and cultural customs, but most directly in the tools used to kill people in the hands of both sides. Before the Spanish landed in the Americas, the natives were still using bows, arrows and spears, but in just over ten years, the tribesmen learned the weapons of civilized people.

This is one of the reasons why he has always used power armor and Jagdtiger II tanks as secret weapons and never sent them to the frontal battlefield.

"Did they come up with any tricks?" Jiang Chen asked thoughtfully.

"They reverse-engineered the K1 exoskeleton to a certain extent.

A mechanical exoskeleton model named 'Lightning' was copied. However, they cannot compare with our exoskeletons in terms of load capacity or defense, and they are also much bulkier in size. "

"But these fakes can already protect against small arms fire to a certain extent and improve soldiers' battlefield survivability. Am I right?" Looking at Monica who was hesitant to speak, Jiang Chen smiled nonchalantly and said.

"That's right." Monica nodded, "Some of the 'Lightning' exoskeletons produced by Krupp Group have been delivered to Arrow Company and shipped to Ukraine for actual combat testing."

In fact, military mechanical exoskeletons have been around ten years ago, but they have never been used in actual combat. Regarding the appearance of lightning, Jiang Chen could only sigh softly. Even without the remains of the K1 exoskeleton, sooner or later they will be able to design exoskeleton equipment suitable for modern warfare. This is the general trend, and the Star Ring trade has only accelerated the arrival of this day.

However, fakes are still fakes, and there is still an insurmountable gap in quality between the two sides in a short time.

They cannot copy the neural access device, and materials research is difficult to reverse engineer. Even if they know the molecular structure of the polyethylene shell of the K1 exoskeleton, it does not mean that they can imitate it. The core technology is still in the hands of Star Ring Trading. Even if they want to imitate it, they can't imitate it. As for the mechanical mechanism and functional design, they can just let them copy it if they want.

His fingers tapped the beat lightly on the table. After thinking for a moment, Jiang Chen ordered.

"After you return to Europe in a few days, see if you can get the design drawings of the 'Lightning'. It's best if you can also get a weapons test report. We at least need to know how far they have gone. As for Carmen…continue to pay attention to his whereabouts, but don’t let him take all your attention.”

"It's a challenging task, but I think I can give it a try." Monica smiled.

Stealing Krupp Group's technical data is easier than chasing an invisible shadow around.

"I heard that there are two things you plan to report. What is the other thing?" Jiang Chen then asked.

"When we were tracking down Carmen Rothschild, we accidentally discovered an underground factory. From their products, we found this thing." As she spoke, Monica took out a jet-black stone from her arms. The sphere was gently placed on Jiang Chen's desk, "They call it the golden apple, although it has nothing to do with gold. It is said to be related to the legacy of the Third Reich during World War II, but what is the specific connection? , we haven’t found it yet.”

"It's normal that you didn't find out, because they don't know it themselves."

Looking at the golden apple, Jiang Chen's expression was indescribably weird. He never expected that after Carmen got the golden apple from him, she would actually start "large-scale production." The remnants in the void have told him personally that their connection with this timeline has been severed.

Even if they try to produce "radio", the radio station itself will go out of business, and there will still be a use for it.

"I'm curious...how did they produce this thing?" Jiang Chen picked up the black sphere and looked at it for a moment.

Monica put down the hot cocoa she had finished drinking in her hand and replied: "It is said to use embryonic stem cell induced differentiation technology, and it contains extracts of primate brain marrow components."

After listening, Jiang Chen nodded and put the golden apple aside.

"I'll leave this thing here for now. You can put down the investigation about the Golden Apple. It's meaningless."

"But……"

Monica's expression was a little hesitant. She felt that there might be some amazing secret hidden in it, so if she just left it alone, it would be a big loss if she missed any valuable information. However, Jiang Chen knew very well that this thing was a deep pit, and no matter how hard he searched, he would not be able to find anything.

"Do as I say." Jiang Chen said in a commanding tone.

"Yes." Monica lowered her head and said.

After knocking on the door, the beautiful secretary walked into the office and took away the coffee cup on Jiang Chen's table. When asked if Monica would like another cup of hot cocoa, Monica declined the offer. All the work has been reported, and she will have to go to Crescent Island later to report to her immediate boss Ayesha.

Looking at Monica's leaving figure, Jiang Chen fell into deep thought.

The EU integration movement is in full swing, Carmen's whereabouts are still unknown, and he can't think of any good solution for a while. Even in the apocalypse, there is no such thing as a prop that can directly lock a person's coordinates. This is beyond the scope of technology.

At this moment, Kerwin's phone call interrupted his thoughts again.

After answering the call, a smile appeared on Jiang Chen's lips.

After hearing bad news and good news, good news finally reached his ears.

The Electric Ray A-1, which was sent to the UFO a month ago, successfully entered the return orbit. As they had guessed before, the UFO did come from an unknown advanced civilization.

The reason why this is good news is because according to the astronauts who performed the mission, the UFO was a wreckage, or relic, that had been abandoned for an unknown number of years.

And the most exciting thing is that he also brought back an interesting thing from that flying object. (To be continued.) Activate new URL
