Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 324 They let me go
Meanwhile, at Base 011.

Standing behind the glass curtain wall of the fully operational intelligent production workshop, Chen Jian asked Lei Jie, who was standing beside him:

"Still no new news coming from the mountain city?"

"No."

Reggie shook his head and replied:

“Since the last communication, no matter how many times we call, we have not received any response.”

"It's quite obvious that their finding the communication devices of those so-called mountain city people was just an accident."

"Or rather, their luck was just exceptionally good."

"Think about it yourself, what conditions would it take to bring about this accident?"

"The electromagnetic pulse triggered by the nuclear bomb paralyzed the mountain town, but they happened to encounter a mountain town resident carrying a terminal who was hunting them down. They were fortunate enough to avoid being killed by the rampaging monsters in the surrounding area, and they fortunately managed to restore communications using the correct method."

"Honestly, if all these conditions come together, the odds aren't much higher than winning the lottery."

"It's impossible to expect them to find another opportunity to establish communications."

"It's fair to say that their chances of surviving are very slim."

"really."

As Lei Jie finished speaking, Chen Jian slowly nodded.

Lin Yu's situation is indeed not optimistic.

He's no longer just deep behind enemy lines.

To be precise, we are trapped deep in enemy territory.

There was no aid available, and all around were incomprehensible enemies.

The equipment and technology possessed by the enemy were even beyond the reach of the Chinese army.

In this situation, how difficult it must be for them to survive?

But the words came back again.

What if?
Thinking of this, Chen Jian spoke again:

"No matter what, we should pretend they are still alive until we receive confirmation that they are dead."

"We can't just sit idly by; we have to find a way to do something."

"But what can we do?"

Reggie shrugged.

"Our forces cannot reach the mountain city, and our delivery capabilities are also severely inadequate."

"To launch an attack on the mountain city at this point in time is nothing short of a pipe dream."

"The safest strategy now is to continue bombing the mountain city with nuclear weapons, as we discussed before."

"However, we can only reliably achieve this goal after the next generation of long-endurance bombers comes out."

"how long it takes?"

Chen Jian frowned slightly, then asked:

What technological solutions are expected to be adopted for the next bomber model?

"Empty boat."

"Airship?? Airship??"

Chen Jian was dumbfounded.

"No, the airship you're talking about isn't what I'm thinking of, is it?"

"It's exactly what you're thinking of."

Lei Jie laughed and asked in return:
"How about it? Doesn't it suddenly have a bit of a cyberpunk vibe?"

"You wouldn't believe it, would you? The most futuristic general-purpose artificial intelligence and the most retro airship appear in the same world and on the same timeline."

"Doesn't it seem magical?"

"That's really surreal."

Chen Jian clicked his tongue and said:
"Isn't there any other solution?"

"No."

Reggie replied:
"Actually, bomber technology is not that easy to develop. The Mosquito bomber we developed was a product of opportunism."

"It can fly because we have a large number of motors that were originally intended for drones."

"But what if we want to keep increasing the size?"

"The electric motors are obviously not enough, and we can't build aircraft engines, or high-thrust aircraft engines."

"Doesn't that leave only one option?"

At this point, Lei Jie paused, then spoke to Chen Jian in a reassuring tone:

"Actually, airships aren't as bad as you think."

"When designed properly, it is quite useful."

"In particular, with our current technological capabilities, we can actually build airships to a very high service ceiling."

"In this way, its survival ability will also increase."

"It's much more reliable than a bomber, isn't it?"

"That's true," Chen Jian sighed.

What can we do?

The current state of the 011 base is what it is; we should do what we are capable of.

He stopped arguing with Reggie and moved on from the topic, getting back on track.

"Let's put the airship issue aside for now; we're actually facing a more real threat."

"The mountain city has missiles, and we are within their missile range."

"To ensure safety, passive defense is clearly not an option."

"Under any circumstances, we should find ways to continue to maintain electromagnetic suppression against them."

"The nuclear bomb must be dropped—and it must be dropped as soon as possible."

"So, do you have any plans?"

"Have."

Lei Jie's expression instantly turned serious.

"Send a bomber to drop it."

“We can fly to the Han River first, resupply there, then fly to Anhan, and finally take off from there to bomb the mountain city.”

"Theoretically speaking, this route should not pose a significant risk."

"The biggest risk lies in the bombing itself."

"This could very well be a mission from which there is no return."

"The cost of the mission was not just a bomber, but also a pilot who had been painstakingly trained."

"The biggest problem I'm facing right now is who to send."

"Jiang Yu definitely can't go, but I wouldn't want anyone else to go either."

"That's your problem."

Chen Jian let out a long breath.

"Sometimes, as a commander, you have to give these kinds of orders."

"clear."

Lei Jie nodded and said nothing more.

The two left the smart workshop and walked into the elevator side by side.

Neither of them said anything more, but both of them had mixed feelings.

After taking the elevator back to the living area, Lei Jie said goodbye to Chen Jian and then planned to go and discuss things with Jiang Yu. Chen Jian, on the other hand, headed towards the combat command room to check on the latest developments of the refugees in Jinling City.

But just as he pushed open the door to the operations command center, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Captain!"

Chen Jian turned around and saw that the person who had come was Ji Xing.

"what happened?"

As he continued walking into the operations command center, he began to speak:
"Come in and talk."

Ji Xing obediently followed him into the room, and after closing the door, she asked solemnly:
"Commander, are we going to the mountain city?"

"There is no specific schedule yet—our preparations are not yet sufficient."

"However, if you ask whether I want to go or not, then I definitely will."

"Moreover, we need to get there as soon as possible."

"Can I go?"

Ji Xing then asked.

"you??"
