Standing in the command post of Camp No. 7, Zhu Tian stared at the ruins on the screen.
The shock wave of the explosion even shook the drone 5 kilometers away.
"Send ground troops to search the area."
"Yes!" Wu Yuan stood at attention and saluted, turned and left the office.
As soon as Wu Yuan left, Gao Yuan walked in.
With a pursed smile, Gao Yuan took out the tablet in her hand and reported to Zhu Tianhui: "The results of the sample analysis have come out. The venom sacs of spider eggs contain a hallucinogenic toxin. The poisoned person will show madness and vomiting.
Symptoms such as foaming.”
"Hallucination?" Zhu Tian frowned.
Gao Yuan nodded and continued.
"In addition, according to pharmacological analysis, some of the organic components contained in this toxin are very similar to the 'Zion' potion hawked by the unidentified businessman at the camp gate last time. Based on this, we can preliminarily conclude that this
Spider eggs are the raw material for preparing the 'Zion' potion."
Zion...
Robots obviously don't need this kind of drug, so this kind of drug should be used by humans. Earn energy crystals by selling drugs? That Lin Hai doesn't look like a businessman.
There is also the Crimson Chamber of Commerce, which has an unusual relationship with Lin Hai.
Supreme?
Zhu Tian leaned on the chair, closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
If possible, he does not want to go to war with forces that do not have conflicts of interest. When facing the end of the world, people have many ideas, including the Twilight Church that practices escapism, former government personnel who try to regain the power of the 20th century, and
From the perspective of interests alone, there is no direct conflict between the Ming Dynasty Survivor Base, the Northern United Region, which claims to be the orthodox pan-Asian cooperation, and the supreme power represented by the forces behind Lin Hai.
For some reason, he suddenly remembered the conversation between Academician Qin and him.
"The rebirth of civilization will inevitably be accompanied by bloody barbarism." Zhu Tian recited this monologue silently.
Gao Yuan stood quietly not far from the desk, waiting for his instructions.
At this time, the phone on the table suddenly rang, interrupting Zhu Tian's thoughts.
He reached out and pressed the button on the table, and a soldier's face appeared in the center of the screen. He gave Zhu Tian a military salute and quickly reported the report.
"Lishui Town helicopter appeared over the target area."
"Lishui Town?" Zhu Tian touched his chin.
On the one hand, this ballistic missile was launched for revenge, but on the other hand, it actually had the purpose of deterring Lishui Town. After all, this Beifeng 76 is not cheap. If it is only used to retaliate against the forces behind Lin Hai, it is really a waste.
.
"Ignore them and continue searching the target area." Zhu Tian ordered.
"Yes!" The soldier saluted again and ended the communication.
The search results came out quickly, and Wu Yuan summarized them and reported them to Zhu Tian.
A search team of 30 soldiers, consisting of a Raider infantry vehicle and two modified trucks, arrived at the bombed-out apartment building on the edge of the city center. After two hours of careful search, this
The search team still investigated a lot of useful information.
From the ruins of the explosion, they found the remains of about 20 sentry machine guns and two radar devices. The actual number will definitely be more than this, but these are the only things that can be confirmed.
In addition, there are some special production equipment, which seem to be used to produce and process certain special products.
It was a special part. However, due to the severe damage, the searchers could not identify what it was used to produce. Judging from some mutated fruits used to produce nutritional mixtures, there should be traces of human activities here.
There was also an unexpected surprise in this search. In a buried corner, they found a semi-destroyed quantum computer. Judging from the specifications, this quantum computer should be of experimental grade. Although they don’t know whether it can be repaired, but
Everyone moved it onto the truck neatly.
The helicopters in Lishui Town did not interfere with the Ming Dynasty Survivor Base's search of the target area. They just hung there and watched from a distance, and did not even send anyone down.
The only things that had a certain impact on the search work were a group of corpses that gathered here due to the noise, and a Roshan that happened to wander here.
However, when preparing to retreat, the convoy was attacked by a group of unidentified armed men.
These militants mostly used laser weapons and suddenly launched an attack when the convoy was evacuating the ruins. However, the leader of the search team responded quickly and immediately called on the soldiers to rely on bunkers to fight back.
The exchange of fire lasted for about five minutes. Under the firepower of the large-caliber machine guns of the Raider infantry vehicles, the search team's firepower clearly had the upper hand. After the militants left more than a dozen corpses behind, they quickly dispersed and fled.
When he learned that the search team had found a quantum computer from the ruins, Zhu Tian immediately met with Xiao Zheng, the team leader, and personally awarded him a knighthood in recognition of his contribution to the base.
After sending the flattered new knight away, Zhu Tian found Gao Yuan. Through her, he found experts in the base who were good at quantum computers and inspected the damaged quantum computer.
Fortunately, according to the expert Gao Yuan called for, although the hard disk area of this quantum computer was severely damaged, the damage to the most critical part of the processor was still within the repairable limit. Even if it is
The existing technical conditions in the shelter can also repair this quantum computer.
After hearing the good news, Zhu Tian immediately ordered Gao Yuan to mobilize all available resources and prioritize them on the repair of the quantum computer. For the scientific research team in Shelter 7, its significance is too great.
.
Especially this kind of experimental-level quantum computer is a rare treasure in the wasteland.
Although I don't know why Lin Hai kept this thing in his station, but in any case, this treasure now belongs to Zhu Tian.
After explaining the matter clearly, Gao Yuan left with the elderly quantum computer expert.
Leaning back on the boss's chair, Zhu Tian faced the empty office, took a deep breath, and took out the half-drafted reform bill.
"Ah...it's much more troublesome than I thought."
Zhu Tian threw the document on the table and ruffled his hair as if going crazy.
He has almost finished planning the system and law. With the help of legal talents from the Ming Dynasty Survivor Base, and the political literacy he cultivated when he was a keyboard warrior in college, it took nearly three months of hard work.
, it is not very difficult to extract a set of rules and regulations suitable for wasteland society.
The only troublesome thing is the reform of the command system.
After sweeping away the pile of documents, Zhu Tian picked up the tablet placed on the corner of the table.
With his finger sliding, a list of data appeared in front of his eyes.
"1,517 soldiers, 1,000 recruits, 323 knights... Huh? Have I awarded so many knights?" Zhu Tian murmured to himself, and continued to slide his fingers down.
General Wang Qing, Minister of Logistics
All ordnance information is included in this list.
No clue at all.
Sighing, Zhu Tian stood up and walked out the door.
...
After opening the basement door, Zhu Tian saw the defeated female colonel again.
There is no expression on Xu Anhua's face, just like a granite relief. You can read the outline but not any emotion.
Facing that emotionless face, Zhu Tian was speechless for a moment. What made him feel powerless was not that he couldn't find an entry point to the topic, but that he couldn't find a trace of resentment on her face.
That's right, it's resentment.
If there is no resentment, there is no fear. If there is no fear, there is no such thing as compromise.
Zhu Tian suddenly felt regretful, maybe he shouldn't have chosen that meaningless approach in the first place.
In this bright but silent basement, time passed quietly.
"Are you just here to see me?" Xu Anhua broke the silence first.
"I...I just don't know what to say." Zhu Tian said in an uncertain tone.
Xu Anhua didn't answer, but just looked away, as if he had lost interest.
If she has such a thing as interest.
Suddenly, Zhu Tian seemed to understand something.
"I can more or less feel how you feel."
"Normal people can't feel it." Xu Anhua answered quickly.
"You can't feel it under normal conditions." After a pause, Zhu Tian continued: "Have you ever heard of genetic medicine? I believe you have heard that people who have been injected with that stuff may develop some kind of special mutation.
.”
"Is there a certain section of DNA that is not normally expressed?" Xu Anhua asked.
"...It's hard to have no emotions," Zhu Tian said softly.
Xu Anhua looked into her eyes: "It's more hollow than uncomfortable."
"Because the former East Asia Cooperation Government no longer exists, right?"
Not out of loyalty to the previous government, nor out of responsibility, those things had already dissipated with the end of the mission from the moment she stepped down from her duties as the director of the shelter.
However, that was her whole life.
Only now did Zhu Tian realize this.
Xu Anhua did not answer directly, but asked: "Have you heard of the Psychic Commissar Project?"
Zhu Tian shook his head.
"Use electric current to engrave thoughts and write creeds into souls." Xu Anhua continued.
"Current? Are you a cyborg?" Zhu Tian frowned.
"No. The psychic political commissar targets living people. It is nicknamed the officer mass production plan in the military. To put it simply, it is to write thoughts and other things into the brain like a program. The thoughts of the commanders who pass this plan are absolutely correct.
, no matter what kind of embarrassment we face, we will not make wrong judgments because of personal emotions. We will not be psychologically burdened by the results of the judgments. Usually, we are used to perform some shady tasks. For example, to suppress separatists,
Eliminate those who are incited." Xu Anhua said softly.
Zhu Tian was stunned and couldn't help holding his breath...
