723 The Landing of Yizhou (1/2)

AS Order had taken off. The destroyers wandering near the coast of Wanghai had already returned. Before returning to the modern world, Jiang Chen and Sun Jiao visited Sixth Street. After being warmly received by officials, they visited the industrial development area.

Rows of tank shells were located outside the military factory. Jiang Chen and Sun Jiao walked alongside the industrial park. Jiang Chen looked at the workers who were working on the assembly line. Compared to the modern world New Malaysia Special District, the industrial park in the apocalypse could only be described as ”miniature.”

Due to population constraints, industrial development on the wasteland was a hundred times more difficult compared to the present day. Even if the equipment technology far surpassed the modern world, the production capacity of the modern world couldn't be matched.

The production output of Future Heavy Industries was ten times the total number of workers in the NAC. Sometimes, Jiang Chen couldn't help but wonder how great it would be to move some workers to the wasteland. Of course, that was just wishful thinking. Lin Lin's research on transporting people had stalled; Sun Xiaorou jokingly dubbed him the name ”Hamster Killer.”

Each experimenter was a hamster.

And those poor hamsters died without exception...

As he watched power armor being moved out of the factory by a construction vehicle, Jiang Chen asked Sun Jiao, who was standing next to him:

”How many power armors do we have?”

”A total of 325 sets, my general.” Sun Jiao grinned as she playfully spoke.

Judging by the curvature of her mouth, Miss General was apparently also very pleased with the production quota of NAC.

”That much?” Jiang Chen was surprised.

According to Han Junhua's teaching of military knowledge from before the war, 300 power armors were sufficient to arm three mechanized infantry battalions.

He still remembered Zhao Chenwu told him a year ago that the monthly output of power armor was as high as ten units, which was the case when the capacity of the military factory was operating at its maximum. What exactly happened to make the output of power armor increase by so much?

Sun Jiao read the confusion in his eyes and answered his question.

”It seems that your memory isn't very good. Did you forget that during the last expedition, we brought Hongcheng area under our sphere of influence? With the opening of the airship shipping route, many downstream processes have been outsourced. Many survivors from Hongcheng migrated to Wanghai. The production capacity of Sixth Street long surpassed that a few months ago.”

”I see.” Jiang Chen grinned joyfully and nodded.

The two continued to walk along the street filled with factories and workshops.

”Speaking of which, it'll be New Year's soon.”

”Yes, the 2018 New Year. The days have gone by quickly,” Jiang Chen said emotionally.

”...then, will you spend New Year's here?”

Looking at Sun Jiao's hopeful eyes, Jiang Chen couldn't refuse. Last year, he spent New Year's in the modern world. It looked like this year, he would spend it here.

”Mhmm.” Jiang Chen nodded.

”Great, Yao Yao will definitely look forward to it.”

”Aren't you the one who's looking forward to it most?” Jiang Chen teased.

”Hmm... I'm also very much looking forward to it.”

Her crescent-like eyebrows and the curvature of her lips revealed Sun Jiao's mood. Looking at her joyous face, Jiang Chen also smiled and caught up with her quick steps.
