Chapter 562 Maybe a Mutant?
Remember in a second, read novels for free!
"Good job, can this satellite be done by early January?"
"It's the beginning of January, but it's already the end of the month now." Jiang Lin scratched his messy hair with a wry smile and said with a sigh, "I'll try my best, if Vault 27 can quickly finish the cooling of the key components , we will finish the work soon.”
"I'll go to Shelter 27 in a while, and I'll remind you about it," Jiang Chen said.
At the beginning of January, Starlink Trade will start the second satellite launch plan. According to the schedule, the plan will launch high-power communication satellites to provide free Wi-Fi services throughout the country, so as to improve the tourism rating of Panu Islands. Of course, Jiang Chen would not foolishly tell others that this is a quantum communication satellite, and as for why the satellite can provide network services with a delay of less than 20 pings, Starlink Trading will not give any explanation.
Considering the diplomatic relations between New Zealand and surrounding countries such as New Guinea, Australia, and New Zealand, the satellite will also provide paid wifi services to parts of these countries. As for the specific fee, Xinghuan Trading will send salesmen to negotiate with the country's telecom operators to find out a reasonable price.
It is estimated that more than 500,000 people will use wifi with a monthly subscription, which can ensure the balance between maintenance fees and income.
"If you're going to Vault 27, take this there for me." Jiang Lin seemed to have remembered something, walked to the workbench, and removed a palm-sized circuit board from above. .
"This is?" Jiang Chen took the circuit board in his hand, and looked at it for a while, but he didn't see anything.
"Good stuff. When the caravan of the Zhao Group was doing business in the Jinling area, they bought it with a can from the scavengers." Jiang Lin chuckled, "The master controller of the power system of the xk92 bipedal combat mecha Chip, this is the first time I have seen such a complete sample."
"Can you make a mecha?" Jiang Chen couldn't help being moved.
However, Jiang Lin touched his nose and looked away in embarrassment.
"Mecha... I'm afraid this will disappoint you. However, analyzing the relevant technologies from the main control chip of this power system will improve the performance of our existing k1-type mechanical exoskeleton, t3, and t4-type power armor." It's still fine."
I was very happy.
But it's better than nothing.
Jiang Chen gave Jiang Lin a white look, put the palm-sized chip back into the box, and stuffed it into his pocket.
"If there is nothing else. Then I will go first."
"Well, nothing else. I heard that the steel airship at Camp No. 27 is about to be built. You can go and have a look. I saw it when I went to Camp No. 27 last time. It's quite spectacular." Jiang Lin smiled. said. Watching him go.
...
When Jiang Chen arrived at Camp No. 27 by car, he witnessed the honor of the airship.
It was a fortress made of steel, floating above the open space 100 meters away from Camp No. 27, at a low altitude of about 20 meters. The "fortress" is tethered by tough graphene cables and connected by steel scaffolding. Engineering robots and engineers work together to construct it. Against the flying snowflakes, the remaining 50% of the project is completed.
The total length is 100 meters, the width is more than 20, and there are three decks in total. The curved belly is like the belly of a seal, but the wide open and closed bow is as ferocious as a shark.
The flat wings on both sides are connected to the large Yunzhi 51 vortex engine, which is used to provide forward thrust for this huge airship. The movable mechanical arm suspended directly under the airship provides a harbor for Yunzhi 51 to dock. The 100-meter-long graphene-suspended suspension warehouse can deploy up to four Tiger II tanks vertically to the ground at the same time.
The layout of the airship is in an inverted "concave" shape, and the top deck is an airstrip. The Aurora 20 is allowed to take off and land vertically. A large amount of space inside the airship is a helium chamber that provides buoyancy, and only the middle deck and one-tenth of the interior space are available for personnel activities. The lower suspension deck is loaded with supplies and munitions. At the same time, there is room for modification of a Type 50 J-type electromagnetic gun, which can cause devastating blows to long-range hard targets on the ground.
The main structure of the airship uses superplastic steel intermittent armor and high-strength foam aluminum materials. While retaining a certain amount of live ammunition protection, the net weight of the airship is reduced to the greatest extent. Of course, the protection of the airship still depends on the cooperation of the nitrogen shield and the laser anti-missile, as well as the suppression of the local air defense units by the ground forces.
In terms of actual combat, the main value of this airship is definitely not to fly over the enemy's head to drop bombs like it did during World War II, but to play the role of a "land carrier".
Less than 100 tons of dead weight. It can carry 500 tons of heavy objects. There is no need to pass through dangerous areas densely populated by alien species and zombies, and the loss of long-distance marches to the inland is minimized. Without considering the hot weapons in the hands of hostile humans, the airship is indeed an artifact in the last days!
After all, there are really not many alien species that can fly at high altitudes.
According to the chief engineer of the airship design. At present, 50% of the project progress has been completed, and it will be finished in half a year at the latest. At that time, NAC's combat radius will be expanded by more than 500 kilometers, and the banner of order will also be passed to farther places.
Without staying outside Camp 27 for too long, Jiang Chen met Xu Lu and Wang Zhaowu who greeted him at the gate. After inspecting the garrison of the Second Corps, he followed Xu Lu to the No. 27 shelter located underground.
in the institute. Jiang Chen found Fang Weixian who was busy around a watermelon-sized electronic device with his colleagues who were also wearing white coats. Presumably that is the key component of quantum communication, but judging from his frowning, it seems that the trouble in solving this refrigeration problem is not small.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen didn't want to disturb him, and handed the chip to the assistant of the research institute, and then simply urged the research and development of quantum communication equipment.
Without stopping any longer, Jiang Chen then went to the Institute of Biotechnology, found the person in charge Wang Fangping, and explained the purpose of his visit.
The attacker who was shot by Aisha last time is currently being interrogated at the Crescent Island military base. According to what Ivan said, that person would not accept any kind of torture, and any wounds he suffered would heal at an incredible speed. So Jiang Chen thought of Wang Fangping, who was engaged in bioengineering research, and hoped to find the answer from him.
"Extremely strong recovery ability? Without the use of machinery and medicine?" When Wang Fangping heard Jiang Chen's description, he was taken aback for a moment, then frowned, "There are many ways to speed up recovery, right? A sniper rifle wound... A hidden genetic code called tenacity can achieve a similar effect."
Sun Jiao's hidden genetic code is tenacity, and Jiang Chen has seen the effect of that skill with his own eyes. Even being shot several times can stand up from a pool of blood, at the cost of overdrawing one's vitality. Even so, Jiang Chen always felt that the attacker's ability had nothing to do with the genetic code.
What's more, it is impossible for genetic medicine to exist in this world.
"Aside from the genetic code, is there any other possibility?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Other possibilities...in fact, there are many. Some dangerous human body modification can also achieve the same
effect, but such transformations usually have adverse consequences. By the way, speaking of it... Mutants seem to fit your description. "Wang Fangping said in a half-joking tone.
