Chapter 993 - The Good Stuff From the Sea (2/2)

After all, the technology from the institute was exported to the modern world and had little practical value in the apocalypse.

When Jiang Chen arrived at the warehouse, Jiang Lin with his fellow researchers was busy working in front of a strangely shaped wreck.

He also happened to bump into an acquaintance. Wu Yuezheng from the Beluga Observation Station was standing next to Jiang Lin. He curiously looking at the researchers working on the wreckage with instruments. Because he had nothing to do, he immediately noticed Jiang Chen’s arrival.

“Hey, what brought you here?” Wu Yue’s eyes lit up and immediately greeted him with a warm smile.

Jiang Chen gestured for Jiang Lin to continue with their work before he started to chat with Wu Yue.

“I wanted to ask you the same thing. Why are you not at the Sixth Street waiting for business?”

“Haha, it is the beginning of the spring. The merchants are all rushing to the hinterland. It is the low season for those of us escorting on the ocean. When all the merchants make enough money and it becomes closer to winter, they will consider going to Japan, Korea, or even further.” Wu Yue laughed, then patted the wreckage that resembled some kind of aircraft, “Since I have nothing to do, I brought this thing we found when we were cruising in the Western Pacific. I thought you’d be interested, so I brought it here.”

Jiang Lin tossed down the tools in his hands, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and walked toward Jiang Chen

“The Soaring 07 Engine, the product of Pan Asia Space Group. From the debris on the interface, it should be on the SS Sea Dragon… If I remember correctly, SS Sea Dragon was a transport ship to Mars. You guys are too lucky to have found this.”

“Have you seen it before?” Wu Yue raised an eyebrow and looked at Jiang Lin with interest.

Because of work needs, the two were often in contact with each other and knew some of each other’s backgrounds. For example, Wu Yue knew Jiang Lin was a native of the wasteland, born in the years after the war.

“I have seen it in videos before.” Jiang Lin shrugged.

“This engine… is it used for transportation to Mars?” Jiang Chen walked closer to the engine, intrigued by the wreckage, he knocked on the titanium alloy casing.

Celestial Trade was troubled on how to design a spaceship that can travel to Mars, and Wu Yue brought him a big gift.

“It’s a destroyed engine,” Jiang Lin emphasized. “There is no problem in restoring the technology in this wreckage but building a spacecraft capable of traveling beyond the Moon is not as easy as having an engine.”

It was great to be able to restore the technology. At least now they have a reference on how to build a long-distance transport engine. With this engine, they should be able to design a space colonization ship capable of reaching Mars before the end of 2019.

“Give me a price.” Jiang Chen looked at Wu Yue.

“Same old, we will charge a salvage fee, 20,000 credit points.” Wu Yue smiled.

“Done.” Jiang Chen took out a graphene card from his pocket and brushed it against Wu Yue’s EP. The 20,000 credits were directly sent to the Beluga Observation Station bank account registered by NAC.

Looking at the number jumping in the EP, Wu Yue was so happy he couldn’t close his mouth.

20,000 credit points was a generous foreign exchange income for Beluga Observation Station. The Sixth Street products were in high-demand in Beluga Observation Station, especially the canned beef and canned pork. These couldn’t be grown in the submarine farms. As for steel, aluminum, and even rare earth materials, those were even in higher demand as he must purchase a large number of shipments every quarter.

And that was Jiang Chen’s goal.

He was not afraid of the Beluga Observation Station making money off of him. Only by making money would they try their best to salvage parts for him. These things offered no value other than scrap metal, but in his hands, no amount of canned food and instant noodles could equate to their value.
