Because the first time was in the bathtub, the mark of her virginity was nowhere to be found.
The only evidence that could prove what happened last night was the still lingering pain.
Han Junhua felt the unforgettable sharp pain and a hollowness in her mind, but it was soon filled up by something else…
It was difficult to describe.
She was hugged tight by the muscular arm; she slightly moved her neck and adjusted into a more comfortable position while savoring the inexplicable after feeling.
[If I could… from this warmth…]
Of course, she knew if Psychic Commissar could be removed this easily, she would be underestimating the power of technology.
She lied flat while staring at the ceiling.
She felt tired, so she temporarily gave up on thinking.
The warm but heavy breathing hushed into her ear and made her tickle, but it was also oddly reassuring.
[It is hard to believe, the dependence of the environment because of temperature is too stupid…]
As she thought, her mind began to turn cloudy. She closed her eyes at dawn to fall asleep again.
It was not until noon did the two wake up to Sun Xiaorou’s grin.
Jiang Chen opened his eyes and watched the gentle smile. He had a feeling of being caught cheating.
…
Boss, you… you can’t blame me for that. We wanted to go find Miss Sun, but she was not on the airship.
Lv Ze tried to justify himself with a bitter face.
But you can’t go find Jun… Advisor Han, you can just find anyone to change for me,
Jiang Chen criticized him snappily.
Although Han Junhua didn’t say anything when she got up, nor was she angry, she didn’t have any extra expression at all. However, Jiang Chen had a feeling where he owed her.
Then, then next time General is drunk, I will find you a man…
Lv Ze carefully said.
… Just find Advisor Han.
After kicking Lv Ze out, Jiang Chen packed up, got off the airship, and officially moved the command post from the air to the ground.
When he stepped into the newly built command post, he bumped into Sun Xiaorou waiting at the door.
Still the same long dress, Xiaorou looked at Jiang Chen with a grin.
Are you all packed up? Brother-in-law.
Mhmm… I’m packed up.
Jiang Chen awkwardly replied.
Brother-in-law looks a bit tense.
Do I? Haha, hahaha.
Jiang Chen forced a few laughs, but it was not enough to fool Sun Xiaorou.
Sun Xiaorou slowly strolled beside him, took the luggage in his hand, and whispered into his ear.
I promised sister to look after you when you’re outside.
This, it was an accident.
Jiang Chen looked away in embarrassment.
Oh? How are you planning to treat Sister Junhua then? Although there was still a smile on her face, Sun Xiaorou’s eyes were mixed with a hint of seriousness.
Silence lasted for half a minute between the two.
Although he knew he was greedy, Jiang Chen still said the most honest thought in his mind.
…I’ll take responsibility.
Humph.
Sun Xiaorou turned around, left Jiang Chen, and walked to the hall.
But just a few steps later, the dress swayed and she quickly turned. She looked backed with a grin,
Looks like you still have some conscience. If you didn’t take responsibility, I would have been disappointed.
That’s something odd to be disappointed about.
Jiang Chen face palmed.
With her finger on her lips and still the same gentle smile, Sun Xiaorou titled her head, unaware.
Is it?
…
After nearly half a month of investigation, the precise location of the quantum computer research institute was determined.
The location was in the high technology park in the east. Due to the structure of building primarily resided below ground, it was able to be preserved. Although it was not far from the blast center of the nuclear explosion, the structure only received minor structural damage.
Because of this, the place became a nest for mutants and resided a dangerous mutant named
Piano Queen
– a mutated spider. The head-sized spider did not rely on venom or teeth to hunt, but used its spider web to form deadly traps to wait for the preys to step into their own death.
The near graphene ring structure even possessed the resiliency of Nano material and was almost undetectable under a faint light environment. A fly passing through the scattered web could still fly two or three meters before being cut cleanly into several pieces…
Even the Death Claws could suffer a tragic ending if it accidentally entered its territory.
It was hard to imagine, a small creature 2 cm tall could evolve into such a deadly creature.
But
Piano Queen’s
weakness was obvious.
Once their traps were detected, they would lose the purpose of the trap. Without any attack ability, they had no way of fighting back before being burned by NAC soldiers with flamethrowers.
After the mutants in the building were cleared out, reconnaissance soldiers began to search the internal of the building and finally determined the core lab of the quantum computer research institute to be located on the most bottom floor.
Here comes the show.
In a building preserved with PAC core technology, the security level was naturally not low. Even twenty years after the war, the security robots hidden in the corners of the building still maintained their functionality while waiting for intruders to wake them up.
When Jiang Chen determined the security level of the building, Jiang Chen executed the attack.
Obtain the password?
Funny, after so many years, where was he going to find the password?
As to hacking, that was even more of the question. To display the hacking skill at the quantum computer research institute was making a fool of oneself. The network security level was at least double of the bank.
Even Yao Yao wouldn’t be of help.
Lv Ze took the private force and following Han Junhua’s plan, exploded the side wall of the research institute before successfully enteromg the building.
Eerie blue laser bullets danced among the hallways and collided with the orange bullet hailstorms.
Because of the security system established by the quantum computer possessed high information suppression ability, the soldiers inside the building could not use drones or robots to assist them.
Jiang Chen finally understood why the Zhao Corporation couldn’t get a few quantum computers; it was pretty darn difficult to obtain one.
But fortunately, the private force soldiers were prevailing, with the support of the soldiers, they took an entire day to break through the security system of the building to arrive at the lab on the bottom floor…
Is this the production line for the quantum computer?
Jiang Chen looked speechlessly at the production equipment piled into a small mountain on the floor.
[Damn, just by placing them together, they occupied over one thousand square meters in area.]
To move the equipment out from underground, scientist from Fallout Shelter 027 had to travel there through the blimp and instruct the soldiers on what could be taken apart and what must be moved with extra caution.
The parts were packed up, data copied, not even a single table or chair was left behind. With the scientists’ directions, NAC soldiers raided the entire lab as if locusts had swarmed a crop field.
The scientist responsible for the research of quantum computer was Zhang Fan. He was standing beside Jiang Chen currently and explaining to him some of the technical backgrounds
This doesn’t include the general electronic parts as well as the shell of the computer.
Just give me some numbers, how many people do I need to get a plant running, how much land do I need?
Jiang Chen looked at Zhang Fan.
That… that is hard to say. Including the production of the general electronic parts, if we reach 50% automation, the entire plant would require 165 hectares of land and 5000 technical workers.
Zhang Fan gave a conservative estimate.
Where am I going to find that many technical workers?
Jiang Chen said with a headache.
All the technical workers in the Sixth Street were barely that number.
Ummm… General, don’t think it as being too difficult. Knowledge can be learned through the virtual reality education system, and with the unopened fallout shelters in Wanghai, there are plenty of workforce with a high academic background,
Zhang Fan said.
Fallout shelters are too unreliable, one would only popup once in a while. Let’s think of a way to speed up the process. How long would it take to train a technical worker in the virtual reality education system?
Jiang Chen paused, before he added,
Starting from zero.
Probably a year.
That’s too long.
Jiang Chen shook his head.
It would probably take a year to absorb the technology in the production line. It is not too long,
Zhang Fan explained.
NAC’s gap in quantum computer is too large. Do you have any way to solve the production issue as soon as possible?
Jiang Chen’s eyebrows furrowed.
Without letting Jiang Chen down, Zhang Fan nodded, but he was hesitant.
Of course, since we obtained the technology related to the quantum computer, we could use 3D printing to produce at a small scale. But the disadvantage of this method is obvious… you know, for the product with high technical requirements and multiple parts, 3D printing is not only inefficient, the cost is also three times normal production through economy of scale.
Three times? Give me an estimate.
A commercial quantum computer will at least cost 300,000 credits.
Jiang Chen twitched at the response.
The war only costed 400,000 credits till now.
While he was pained, the money still needed to be spent. He will obtain the material from the modern world which should bring some cost savings. If the production problem of quantum computers could be solved, the expansion speed of the virtual reality network could be sped up in the modern world.
Don’t worry about the money. Make two first.
Two?
Zhang Fan thought he heard wrong. However, seeing Jiang Chen nod, he confirmed his wasn’t delusional.
How long will it take?
One should be ready in one month and the second one probably just needs half a month,
Zhang Fan said with certainty.
I will leave this to you. Get on it soon. Also, keep an eye on the technical workers’ training.
After assigning the task to Zhang Fan, Jiang Chen left the empty lab and headed back to the command post.
Along the way, he bumped into Zhao Chenwu, so he stopped and said hello.
Zhao Chenwu was there to see him.
What happened? Why’re you in a rush?
Gloom covered Zhao Chenwu’s face as he said.
Federation. They have started to make moves.
