Chapter 741 The Moon of Disaster

8days ago Celebrity fiction 15
The 18th Spring Festival happened to be one day after Valentine's Day. Jiang Chen returned to the end of the world on Valentine's Day on February 14. After accompanying Liu Yifei for a wonderful Valentine's Day, he then spent the Spring Festival and New Year's Eve with his daughters and subordinates of the Fishbone Base.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year on the 17th, the agreed time with the Beluga Undersea Survey Station was up. Jiang Chen took a flight to Yizhou Island to transport supplies. Lin Chiling was also heading with him this time.

I heard that there is a deuterium refinery in Taipei on Yizhou Island and a small nuclear fusion power station with high retention.

Because of long-range power transmission and the lunar helium 3 mining base, the nuclear fusion power stations on the earth in front of the station have basically been transferred to the moon. The only large nuclear power stations that have remained were baptized by nuclear strikes during the war. It is difficult to find a complete nuclear fusion power station on this wasteland than climbing to the sky.

So, when Jiang Chen heard that there was such a nuclear power plant on Yizhou Island, he immediately became interested in it.

Especially the supporting deuterium refineries, although using deuterium as nuclear fuel is not as environmentally friendly as helium 3, now is not the time to eat.

Nuclear power plants do not seem particularly attractive for the sixth block that has sub-crystals as energy, but for the current world, especially for new countries where energy is entirely imported, nuclear fusion power plants will have extraordinary value.

Especially Penglai City, which is about to open.

If cold fusion technology can be used, not to mention, the 100,000-acre power generation seaweed project originally scheduled to be added in nearby waters will be directly cancelled, and 12 large current generator units and 150 wind turbines can also be cancelled.

Not only that, it can also reduce the cost of electricity to a terrible level.

Of course, this technology is just used secretly, and it is better to be publicized after the space elevator is made.

There are only a few nuclear experts in Shanghai. Only Lin Chiling knows Jiang Chen’s secrets, so he takes her with him.

Just as the work in Eden is coming to an end, the last project will be completed after spring, and the Garden of Eden, which took more than a year, will be completed.

Moving the space elevator base, recycling nuclear technology, and solving the small troubles encountered by the expeditionary force are the purpose of Jiang Chen's trip.

……

It has been a month since the Expeditionary Force landed.

When Jiang Chen arrived on Yizhou Island, Li Wang, the captain, immediately arranged a clean and comfortable room for him, summarized the information and mission logs collected over the past month, and handed over the temporary command power.

As soon as he landed, Li Wang sent expeditionary soldiers to explore Taipei and its suburbs, and built a simple cement fortress and lighthouse on the sea cliff at the northern end of Yizhou Island, as well as a lift for airships to dock.

Compared with the war-torn inland, although Yizhou Island also has traces of war, it is not as tragic as Shanghai.

There was no direct nuclear strike. Most of the high-rise buildings in the city were intact, and the radiation on the island was mostly derived from radioactive dust blowing from Southeast Asia.

However, there is one thing here that is almost the same as on land, that is, those plants that grow deformedly, as well as the hateful alien species and zombies.

The vines and dry branches all cover tall buildings, and rows of bullet craters bloom on the cracked roads. A wolf-shaped creature with sharp mouths and claws hides in the shadows. The soldiers of the Expeditionary Force called it a ghoul. Any creature attacked by it often does not even leave much bone.

However, this is not the most terrifying thing.

Although these ghouls are terrible, they are dead when they pass by two bullets.

However, when facing the mud crab with a thickness of the carapace and a unambiguous movement speed, the rifle is not that safe.

Especially these mud crabs are still in groups of actions, which is simply a nightmare.

And the right troubles encountered by these expeditionary forces are related to these sludge crabs...

The next day, the patrol team on the Exploration Island was on duty as usual and returned to the camp before dark.

Unlike usual, this time they brought back a local.

The personal guard searched behind him, displayed his homemade pistols and crossbow arrows on him, and then took him to Jiang Chen.

The wasteland in February is still snowing, and even on Yizhou Island, which is south of the south, you can see traces of falling snow.

I saw the man wearing an old gray jacket and carrying some sloppy mud on his body.

His skin was tanned and his head was shaved, looking like an honest farmer, but his eyes were scattered around revealed his shrewdness.

What is your name?Jiang Chen looked at the man.

I am Chen Guangning, who is doing business in Taipei and southern Fujian on the coast of mainland China.If an adult needs a guide, I will definitely be the most suitable candidate.Chen Guangning smiled honestly and said respectfully.

Other locals may not have heard of the name of NAC, but as a businessman who often travels to southern Fujian, he still has a little heard of this name that rose to Shanghai.

In two years, he used thunder to wipe out all major forces in Shanghai and took over the survivor settlements of the entire Shanghai and even Suzhou and Hangzhou Province under his control.

And the man in front of him is the leader of NAC.

If he can join the NAC people online, it will definitely be of great benefit to his business.

So when the NAC Expeditionary Force came to the Taipei survivors' settlement to look for people, and the other survivors looked at each other and expressed distrust, he volunteered to go without saying a word and arrived at the fortress of the Expeditionary Force.

Jiang Chen smiled and asked directly.

I will consider your suggestions.Before that, I have a question to ask you.

May I ask, sir.Chen Guangning said respectfully.

Tell me about the details of the disaster month.Jiang Chen asked his most concerned question.

The so-called disaster moon is the name locals call the landing of sludge crabs.

However, the NAC Expeditionary Force knows little about this disaster that lasted for several months.

The locals rejected this outsider who suddenly broke into their homes. Although both sides were at peace and occasionally had material transactions, the dialogue remained to a limited extent.

Hearing Jiang Chen’s question, Chen Guangning immediately answered.

Every March, the sluggish crabs lurking in shallow water will lay eggs from the northeast shore of Yizhou Island.Usually, at this time, survivors in Taipei would hide in the air-raid shelter in the central city of Taipei and wait until the sludge crabs leave before coming out.The practices in other areas of Yizhou Island are also the same. The number of those sludge crabs is really not something that humans can fight against, so it is called the Moon of Disaster.

As a powerful scavenger, these sludge crabs especially like where survivors have lived.

Whenever they came, they would pass through the border like locusts, erecting the survivors' settlements, leaving behind a large pile of sticky follicles.

It is very dangerous to clean these follicles. If you don’t pay attention, small sludge crabs may have been successfully hatched inside. While destroying the follicles, the small sludge crabs were also released.

Although not as terrifying as the mature sludge crab, the small sludge crab can still cause considerable casualties to survivors.

How many months will this disaster month end?Jiang Chen pondered.

Generally speaking, it is the summer solstice.Chen Guangning replied.

Summer solstice?

It took more than three months later, and the first batch of materials for the space elevator base were about to be delivered, and Jiang Chen was unwilling to wait for that long.

And on the other hand, due to the impact of the disaster month, the exploration of nuclear power plants will have to be delayed.

If possible, he wanted to solve these two things as soon as possible.

Jiang Chen asked again with a frown slightly.

Do you have any solution to these sludge crabs?

Chen Guangning smiled helplessly.

If I could think of a solution, I would have become the leader of these survivors long ago.
