Chapter 1101: New Trade Route

On July 1st, Liuding Town requested assistance from NAC on the grounds that the aircraft carrier was in disrepair.

As an ally with a strong relationship, NAC was obliged to help and sent an engineering team to carry out a comprehensive inspection of the Bohai Aircraft Carrier. The NAC engineering team concluded that the aircraft carrier, due to a lack of maintenance, was in critical condition.

Only a full replacement of the aging parts could save the city on the aircraft carrier.

It made sense what happened next. NAC built a shipyard at the port in front of Liuding Town to produce parts for replacement. NAC also sent technicians on the aircraft carrier in the name of site maintenance . But in fact, only they knew what they were actually doing it.

NAC’s move made the Beluga Station feel nervous, but it all made sense. Wu Yue, stationed at the Sixth Street, went to see Jiang Chen several times to subtly learn his perspective and to understand what NAC was planning.

However, Jiang Chen would never reveal his true intention to him.

As for the protagonist of this fiasco, was Liuding Town pleased?

The senior officials of Liuding welcomed NAC with open arms!

Not only did NAC help them replace parts, they also renovated the hull for free. NAC even promised them over a hundred thousand credit points. Where could they find a better deal?

Would the NAC navy pose a threat to Liuding Town? No one thought from that perspective.

When the strength of the two sides was too drastically different, the idea of a threat was no longer within consideration.

Since NAC eradicated the mutants of Wanghai in a dominating manner, Liuding Town never mentioned the idea of splitting Wanghai with NAC once more. Later, Liuding Town was fully integrated into NAC’s credit point monetary system, and the economy became more and more dependent on the Sixth Street. The senior officials of Liuding Town even began purchasing assets in the Sixth Street, and even regarded themselves as part of the NAC.

Just like this NAC built a shipyard on the edge of Wanghai and trained the ship engineers in the name of repairing the aircraft carrier.

On the other hand, a message came back from the outpost on the West Coast. It included a list of California specialty and resource deficiencies.

Inheriting the scientific research results of the pre-war Silicon Valley, the electronics industry there was extremely developed. The drones and robotics level were far above Wu City, mostly attributable to the leadership position of Silicon Valley’s electronic chip production technology.

In addition, North American power armor was vastly adopted. Even the raiders could build power armors using scraps. For pre-war militia organizations like the National Guard, almost one out of every four soldiers owned a “Militia 02” Power Armor. Today, almost everyone owned a power armor.

Electronic chips, robotic accessories, and even power armors were all promising goods to be traded. With almost no hesitation, Jiang Chen listed these three products as the key imports for this trade route across the ocean.

Other than advanced electronics industry.

Due to the development of animal husbandry, California’s canned meat was even sold by dealers to South America. And some of the radiation-resistant crops that could only grow on specific soils made California a granary of North America.

Under such circumstances, it was obviously meaningless to export food to California. Even if NAC’s pre-war food was more delicious, the advantage would not be too substantial. After all, quantity mattered more than quality on the wasteland.

As long as it was not the Double-headed beef raised in the Sixth Street five years ago that tasted like wax, people were already happy being able to eat meat.

This proved that a food trade had no future in North America. However, the development of animal husbandry meant that they were quite lacking in spices and condiments.

For example, the mutated peppers and anise produced by Hongcheng, the various sauces processed in the Sixth Street, and the Mud Crab roe produced in Yizhou Island should have a good market on the West Coast.

In addition to spices and condiments, arms would be another option. The ammunitions produced by the Sixth Street were definitely more durable than the rifles hand-built by the survivors. Of course, the kinetic skeletons and the T3 and T4 Power Armors would not be exported, even if there were hundreds of thousands of miles between California and Wanghai.

“…In addition, when trading with the locals, remember to pay attention to items related to NASA. If they find the wreckage of advanced spacecraft or satellite, ship it back with other trade goods.” After discussing trade items with Chu Nan, Jiang Chen added one more point.

Although the NASA of the modern world was completely outclassed by Celestial Trade, the NASA on this timeline remained a powerful organization.

“No problem.”

It was no longer a secret among NAC officials that their boss loved to collect spacecrafts. Chu Nan simply agreed.

Jiang Chen stretched out and sunk into his chair after the call ended.

After the NAC went on the right track, very few things required him to personally overlook. To the point where he didn’t remember the last time he sat in the General Office to take care of affairs.

Sun Jiao opened the door and walked in with coffee. When she saw Jiang Chen relaxed in the chair, she smiled gently. With quiet steps, she walked behind him and began to massage him.

“Tired? Let me help you.”

Such a gentle action from Sun Jiao made Jiang Chen unable to comprehend.

“Does it feel nice?” Sun Jiao asked.

In order to confirm that he wasn’t hallucinating, Jiang Chen looked up and met a pair of gentle and watery pupils.

“Did you eat something strange this morning… AH, it hurts… BE GENTLE.”

The smile on her face did not change, but the murderousness in her eyes was oozing out as her fingers sunk into his shoulders.

Sure enough, this is the Sun Jiao that I know of…

Jiang Chen thought with a painful grin. If it was Xiaorou or Yao Yao, he would have turned around and took them down. But at the moment, it was Sun Jiao with impeccable strength.

But quickly, the pressure on his shoulders disappeared.

Softness embraced the back of his head, and Sun Jiao wrapped her arms around him, gently placing her chin on his shoulder.

She wanted to say many things, but in the end, there was only one word that came out.

“Fool.”

Jiang Chen smiled and reached out to hold her hand.

A moment of silence lingered between the duo, then Sun Jiao gently bit her lower lip before whispering.

“You are going back tomorrow?”

“Mhmm.”

“…I will always miss you.”

Jiang Chen smiled.

“Dummy—”

“Brother-in-law~”

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by a crisp voice outside the door. Sun Jiao quickly jumped away and stood next to Jiang Chen.

The office door was pushed open and Sun Xiaorou hopped in.

However, when she took her first step into the office, her foot stopped midair and looked suspiciously at the two people in the office.

When she saw the red glow and nervous expression on her sister’s face, she quickly read the atmosphere in the air, and a naughty smile appeared.

“Ah…sorry to bother you guys, please continue~”

“Wait, this is not what you think—” Sun Jiao was blushing and rushed to explained.

Xiaorou gave no chance for her sister to explain. She spat out her tongue and quickly escaped.

Looking at the door, Sun Jiao, wearing a red hue, stomped her feet in anger before rushing out the door.

Jiang Chen shook his head.

Looking at the cup of coffee on the table, he heartbeat returned to normal, and ripples began to form again in his calm state.

If Xiaorou didn’t interrupt them, then he and Sun Jiao probably would have started in the office…

When they are together, it seemed like there was always no self-control.

Shaking his head and throwing such thoughts out of his mind, Jiang Chen picked up the documents that he put aside on the table.

Zhang Yaping’s diplomatic visit had ended. Without any surprise, he should be on the plane back to Xin.

From tomorrow on, it was time to overlook the overall situation.

Before that, he must finish the work at hand…
