“Good job, could this satellite be completed by the start of January?”

“The start of January… but it is already the end of the month.” Jiang Lin rubbed his muddled hair with a bitter smile and sighed. “I’ll try my best. If Fallout Shelter 027 can solve the cooling module problem, we can finish very soon.”

“I will head to Fallout Shelter 027 in a bit. I will help you bring it up with them. ”

At the beginning of January, Celestial Trade would start its second satellite launch project. The plan was to launch a high-frequency communication satellite used to provide free wifi service to Xin’s territory in order to increase the tourism rating of Pannu Islands. Of course, Jiang Chen was not foolish enough to tell people this is a quantum communication satellite. As to how a satellite could provide web service with 20 ping and below, Celestial Trade wouldn’t comment on this topic.

Based on the diplomatic relationship with nearby New Guinea, Australia, and New Zealand, this satellite would provide paid wifi service to part of those territories. As to how to price, Celestial Trade would send out representatives to discuss with the countries’ telecommunication providers to negotiate a reasonable price.

If there were half a million paid users per month, the maintenance fee would breakeven.

“If you plan to go to Fallout Shelter 027, please help me to bring this over.” Jiang Lin remembered something, walked beside the workstation, and removed a palm-sized circuit board.

“This is?” Jiang Chen took the circuit board, examined it, but didn’t manage to determine the use. historical

“Great item. The trade fleet of Zhao Corporation exchanged this with a can of food from a scavenger.” Jiang Lin chuckle. “Type XK92 Double Feet Armored Unit’s main control chip for its power system, it is the first time I have seen such a complete board.”

“Could you create a prototype out of it?” Jiang Chen’s expression changed.

But Jiang Lin touched his nose and looked away awkwardly.

…

“I have to disappoint you. But the technology analyzed out from the main control chip could increase the performance of our current Type- K1 kinetic skeleton, and T-3, T-4 power armor.”

[Made me excited for nothing.]

[But better than nothing.]

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes and put the palm-sized chip into the box before stuffing it into his pocket.

“If there is nothing else, I’m going to go.”

“Mhmm, nothing else. I heard the Steel Airship is almost complete at Camp 27. You can go take a look. The last time I saw it, it is quite magnificent.” Jiang Lin said while watching him depart.

When Jiang Chen arrived at Camp 27, he witnessed the glorious airship.

It was a fortress built by steel floating in the air outside of Camp 27 around 20 meters in the air. The “fortress” was hoisted by robust graphene cables and connected by steel scaffolds. The construction robots and engineers worked on it simultaneously to complete the remainder 50% of the work.

It was 100 meters long, 20 meters wide; a total of three decks. The bottom of the airship was like the stomach of a seal, but the tip of the boat that could be opened and closed was just a menacing shark head.

The wings that extended horizontally out were connected with mega-sized turbine engines used on Type-51 Helicopters to provide the massive airship with the thrust to move forward. The robotic air attached directly below the airship provided the hubs used to park the helicopter. The hundred meter long graphene cables dragged onto the hover cabin which could deploy four Tiger II tanks to the ground.

The layout of the airship was similar to a “U” with the top deck being an airstrip that allowed for the vertical landing of the Aurora-20. A large amount of the space inside the airship was used as the helium room to provide buoyant force. Only the middle deck along with one-tenth of the internal space allowed were designed for personnel. The lower deck contained supplies and firearms, as well as a room for one Type-50 J-unit electromagnetic pulse cannon to be added to cause destruction to the targets on the ground.

The mainframe of the airship used superplastic steel intermittent armor as well as high strength bubble aluminum material. While it maintained certain anti-bullet and anti-bomb capability, it reduced the net weight of the airship to the extreme. Of course, the defense of the airship relied on nitrogen armor and laser anti-missile system, as well as the supportive firepower of the ground force to enemy anti-air units.

The usage of the airship was not designed to drop bombs on enemies’ heads like in World War Two, but rather act as a “ground aircraft carrier”.

The airship was designed with 100 tons of net weight and capable of carrying 500 tons of supplies. Without the need to pass through dangerous territories filled with mutants and zombies, it drastically reduced the consumption of a mobilizing force to inland. Without considering the hot weapons in enemies’ hand, the airship was a legendary unit in the apocalypse.

Since only rare mutants could fly high in the air.

Based on the words of the chief engineer of the airship, the current construction was 50% complete. The project could longest be finished in half a year. By that time, NAC’s combat radius would increase to over 500 kilometers, and the flag of order would spread to places further.

Without staying too long outside of Camp 27, Jiang Chen met Yu Lu and Wang Zhaowu waiting for him at the gate. After he reviewed the Second Division stationed there, he followed Yu Lu to Fallout Shelter 027 located underground.

Inside the research institute, Jiang Chen found Fang Weixian who surrounded a watermelon-sized electronic device with his colleagues also in white lab coats. It must be the critical module of the quantum communication satellite, but from his twisted eyebrows, the difficulty they were facing didn’t seem to be small.

Jiang Chen didn’t want to disturb him, he passed the chip to the assistant in the shelter and briefly hurried on to see the development of the quantum communication device.

Without stopping longer, Jiang Chen then visited the Biology Technology Research Institute to speak with Wang Fangping and explained the purpose of his visit.

The attacker hit by Ayesha was currently under interrogation at New Moon Island. Based on the description from Ivan, this person didn’t reveal any information despite the torture he received, and all wounds recovered at an incredible speed. Therefore, Jiang Chen remembered Wang Fangping in the biological engineering research with the hope to find the answer from him.

“Super regeneration ability? Without the need to use machines and medicine?” When Wang Fangping heard Jiang Chen’s description, he was first shocked before his eyebrows furrowed. “There are plenty of methods to increase regeneration. The gun wounds from a sniper… there is a hidden genetic code called Tenacious that could achieve a similar effect.”

Sun Jiao’s hidden genetic code was Tenacious, and Jiang Chen personally witnessed the effect of that skill. The person could get up from a pool of blood despite being shot several times in exchange for consuming life. But even then, Jiang Chen thought the ability of the attacker has nothing to do with genetic code.

Especially since there was no way genetic vaccines existed in the modern world.

“Other than genetic code, is there any other possibility?” Jiang Chen asked.

“There is another possibility… there are many. Some dangerous anatomy modifications could achieve a similar effect, but these modifications usually would cause negative consequences. Speaking of which, mutated humans seem to fit your description.” Wang Fangping used a half-joking tone to explain.
