The search results came out quickly, and Wang Zhaowu compiled them and reported them to Jiang Chen. [Fengyun.com]
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, the search team still found a lot of useful information.
From the rubble of the explosion, they found the remains of about 20 sentry machine guns and two radar devices. The actual number is certainly higher than this, but this is all that can be confirmed.
In addition, there are some special production equipment that seem to be used to produce and process certain special parts. However, due to the severe damage, 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.
Another surprise in this search was that they found a half-destroyed quantum computer buried in a corner. Judging from the specifications, this quantum computer should be of experimental grade. Although they didn't know if it could be repaired, everyone moved it onto the truck neatly.
Liuding Town's helicopter did not interfere with the Fishbone Base's search for the target area. It just hung there and watched from a distance, without even sending 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 an R-Shan 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 attacks 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 fire of the large-caliber machine gun of the Raider infantry vehicle, the search team's firepower clearly had the upper hand. After the group of militants left more than a dozen bodies behind, they quickly fled.
When he learned that the search team had found a quantum computer from the ruins, Jiang Chen immediately met with the team's leader, Zhu Zheng, and personally awarded him a knighthood in recognition of his contribution to the base.
After sending the flattered new knight away, Jiang Chen found Xu Lu. Through her, she found experts in the base who were good at quantum computers and inspected the damaged quantum computer.
Fortunately, according to the expert Xu Lu called for, although the hard disk area of this quantum computer was severely damaged. However, the damage to the most critical part of the processor is still within the repairable limit. Even with the existing technical conditions in the shelter, it is possible to repair this quantum computer.
After hearing the good news, Jiang Chen immediately ordered Xu Lu to mobilize all available resources and give priority to the repair work of the quantum computer. For the scientific research team in Vault 27. 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 that guy Lin Chaoen kept this thing in his station, but no matter what, this treasure now belongs to Jiang Chen.
After explaining the matter clearly, Xu Lu left with the old quantum computer expert.
Leaning on the boss chair again, Jiang Chen 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."
Jiang Chen threw the document on the table and ruffled his hair as if going crazy.
He has almost made plans in terms of institutions and laws. There are legal talents from the Fishbone Base who can provide reference opinions, combined with the political literacy that I cultivated when I was a keyboard warrior in college. It took nearly three months of effort to refine a set of rules and regulations suitable for wasteland society. It was not very difficult.
The only troublesome thing is the reform of the command system.
After sweeping away the pile of documents, Jiang Chen 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?" Jiang Chen muttered to himself, and continued to slide his fingers down.
Logistics Minister Wang Qing counted all ordnance information on this list.
No clue at all.
Sighing, Jiang Chen stood up and walked out the door.
... ...
Opened the basement door. Jiang Chen met the defeated female colonel again.
Han Junhua's face had no expression, just like a granite relief. I can read the outline, but I can't read any emotion.
Facing that emotionless face, Jiang Chen was speechless for a moment. What made him feel powerless was not that he couldn't find an entry point to the topic. But there was no trace of resentment on her face.
Yes, it's resentment.
If there is no resentment, there is no fear. If there was no fear, there would be no such thing as compromise.
Jiang Chen 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?" Han Junhua was the first to break the silence.
"I... I just don't know what to say." Jiang Chen said in an uncertain tone.
Han Junhua did not answer the call. He just looked away, as if he had lost interest.
If she has such a thing as interest.
Suddenly, Jiang Chen seemed to understand something.
"I can more or less feel how you feel."
"Normal people can't feel it." Han Junhua answered quickly.
"Under normal conditions, T will not be available." After a pause, Jiang Chen continued, "Have you ever heard of genetic medicine? I believe you have heard of it. People who have injected it may develop some kind of special... variation."
"Is there a certain piece of DNA that is not usually expressed?" Han Junhua asked.
"That's right! Hidden genetic code." Jiang Chen finally remembered the name.
"So?" Han Junhua looked at Jiang Chen quietly.
"... It's hard to have no feelings." Jiang Chen said softly.
After turning on "Wushuang", the feeling of emptiness comes from having feelings removed from the body. Although I have only experienced it twice, no matter how many times I recall that feeling, it still makes me shudder.
Han Junhua looked into Jiang Chen's eyes and said, "Rather than feeling uncomfortable, it's better to say that I feel empty."
"Because pac doesn't exist anymore, right?"
Not out of loyalty to Pac, nor out of duty, those things started from the moment she stepped down from her duties as the director of the shelter. It has already dissipated with the end of the mission.
However, that was her whole life.
Only now did Jiang Chen realize this.
Han Junhua did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically. "Have you ever heard of the Psychic Commissar Project?"
Jiang Chen shook his head.
"Use electric current to engrave thoughts and write creeds into souls." Han Junhua continued.
"Current? Are you a cyborg?" Jiang Chen frowned.
"No. The psychic political commissar targets living people. It is jokingly called 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. Nor will we be psychologically burdened by the results of our judgments. Usually, we are used to perform some shady tasks. For example, to suppress separatists, Eliminate those who are incited." Han Junhua said softly.
Jiang Chen was stunned and couldn't help holding his breath.
He has seen people who want to turn computers into human brains, and now he has seen people who want to turn human brains into computers.
"This is really..." He couldn't think of what words to use to describe it.
evil
No, there is nothing more evil than nuclear weapons. The moment war breaks out, all morals and bottom lines will become a joke. In the information age, history may not necessarily be written by the victors, but only the victors are qualified to comment on history.
For him who was born in a peaceful era, it was impossible for him to understand the determination that people faced at that time.
"Don't sympathize with me. All those who join the Psychic Commissar Project do so voluntarily." Han Junhua said lightly.
There was no regret on her face, but her eyes gradually became tainted with a hint of loneliness.
"It's just that after completing the final task, I don't know what to do."
Looking at the expressionless female colonel, Jiang Chen fell into silence.
He misunderstood her persistence from the beginning.
"Let's make a deal."
Han Junhua looked at Jiang Chen with questioning eyes.
"Emotions, right? Although I'm not a scientist, I believe science can definitely solve this problem. How about you help me realize my ambition and I'll help you find what you're missing?" Jiang Chen looked at her eyes seriously. Eye said.
"Implanting a new psychic commissar into the brain? I guess that's not what I need."
"No, it's about regaining the same feelings as normal people." Jiang Chen shook his head.
Han Junhua fell into a brief silence.
"How can I trust you?"
"Even if you don't believe me, there is no better choice, right?" Jiang Chen said seriously.
"What I'm asking is. How can I trust you to do it."
"Is this difficult to do?" Jiang Chen asked.
"When I was undergoing surgery, my superiors had clearly told me that I would become something closer to a machine than a cyborg. Even if the war is won and everyone has a happy ending, I can't It is impossible to get more comfort besides honor." Han Junhua said softly.
"Even with the most advanced pre-war technology, can't we remove the psychic political commissar?" Jiang Chen asked in a deep voice.
Han Junhua shook his head.
"Then you should choose me." Jiang Chen smiled and snapped his fingers.
Han Junhua turned his questioning eyes to him.
"I will restore order to this wasteland, and the scientific research system will be rebuilt. Even if the technology of the 22nd century cannot solve your problems, I believe that in the distant 23rd, 24th, or even the 25th century, your problems will always be there. It will be solved in one day. When everything is over, I will arrange for you to lie down in the dormant warehouse and go to the future." Looking directly into her eyes, Jiang Chen said seriously.
She closed her eyes and thought for a long time.
After a long time, she opened her eyes.
"You convinced me." (.)
