Chapter 1287 - Holy Shield!

Chapter 1287 Holy Shield!

In the apocalypse, a secluded factory on the northern outskirts of Wanghai was on heightened security under the control of NAC soldiers.

The factory was only about 20 kilometers from the Sixth Street.

Compared with its desolate appearance, the factory itself was full of life.

Under the supervision of NAC soldiers, NAC engineers operated the mechanical cantilever and carefully placed the energy tank containing several kilograms of deuterium and helium-3 into the slot of a giant machine covering an area of ​​over one hundred square meters.

A technician from the Guardian Sect stood with the NAC scientists at the moment. He was looking at everything in front of him with excitement.

Over a year had passed.

Today, their work finally made a breakthrough.

As the energy tank was placed into the slot, the entire factory’s activities were upped by another gear.

“Energy output power is normal!”

“Open the switch, start charging!”

“Shield generator initiating!”

“The power system output environment is stable, the temperature is normal, and the system is running steadily!”

“The shield generator is activated! We are successful!”

The sound of the stable operation of the machine was like heaven’s melody.

With a shout of excitement, loud cheers erupted in the factory.

Engineers and researchers high-fived each other, and even the soldiers stationed on the side had a look of relief. Everyone was full of excitement and joy, and embraced each other to celebrate this long-awaited moment.

Once this shield generating device was repaired, other devices could also be repaired.

Soon, the news reached the heart of NAC – The Mansion at Fishbone Base.

Jiang Chen immediately ordered someone to prepare a vehicle as he planned to make a personal visit to the site.

For NAC, repairing the Holy Shield was equivalent to protecting all of Wanghai from the nuclear winter. For Celestial Trade, the complete mastery of Holy Shield technology was equivalent to directly increasing the defense of the Earth Fleet and Celestial Trade Fleet to a new level! They made a leap from hard armor defense to energy shield!

Not long after, escorted by armored vehicles and tanks, an extended car was parked at the gate to the factory.

The door opened, and Jiang Chen, accompanied by a group of soldiers, walked to the main gate in quick steps. The project leader was already waiting there along with the scientists.

From the back, Lilith also jumped out and followed behind him.

As he walked towards the factory, the person in charge of the repair of the Holy Shield System explained to Jiang Chen in excitement.

“… Repair work is mainly focused on shield generators. During the war, NATO Special Forces’ attacks on the Holy Shield systems were mainly directed against shield generators. The technical difficulties we have faced were also around the generator! But now, since all the issues have been resolved, the remaining shield generating devices shouldn’t be more troublesome than this one. Before this winter, we should be able to complete all the repairs! ”

With an approving nod, Jiang Chen followed him into the factory and stopped in front of the giant shield generator.

“This thing has been repaired?” Jiang Chen looked at the shield generating device in stable operation and then looked back at the scientist behind him, “Why do I not see the shield?”

Before he headed to Shangjing, Lin Lin gave him a miniature version of the Holy Shield system. From his memory, it was possible to see a pale yellow outline. The graviton could force all approaching mass to either stop or change direction, including air and dust particles.

“The shield is mainly concentrated on top, and does not necessarily have to form a closed sphere. To describe it in more details, it’s like an umbrella. In addition, a shield generating device on a city-scale forms a shield two kilometers above the city. Of course, we can lower it,” The scientist explained.

Jiang Chen nodded.

“No, I trust you.”

It was simple to test the strength of the shield. He would just need to command AS Order to fire at this location. But after he thought about it a bit more, he decided against it. The Holy Shield System could defend against space-based weapons after all.

This can be tested later.

After he leaves here…

When Jiang Chen inspected the work with the accompanying scientist, Lilith went to the shield generator and tapped the generator. A stream of data appeared through her pupils, and soon she retracted her finger and returned to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen noticed her action and looked to her in curiosity.

“What did you just do?”

“Optimized the program and eliminated some backdoors. In approximate terms, just increased the performance of the hardware by five percent, and increased the difficulty of infiltration to the maximum… umm, count that as an update to the program,” Lilith said with a blank expression.

“You can do that?” Jiang Chen was genuinely surprised.

The ability to update the system designed before the war was quite remarkable in a sense. Although it was just a software update, it was designed by the countless scientists of Pan-Asia Cooperation.

“Is this difficult for the world’s only advanced artificial intelligence?” Lilith asked earnestly.

Although she was showing off, it was true.

Jiang Chen did not know the number of advanced artificial intelligences at NATO and the Soviet Union. But there must be only one advanced artificial intelligence at PAC.

“By the way, I’ve always been curious about how powerful your processing is,” Jiang Chen said.

“As long as I can identify the hardware, I can use it freely,” Lilith shrugged. “For me, using electronics is probably as easy as eating and drinking to you.”

After all, she was a program.

Jiang Chen nodded, entrenched in his thoughts, he suddenly said.

“What if I asked you to hack a country’s nuclear weapon system?”“It depends on how well their security is,” Lilith said in the same expressionless state, but she smiled. “If they fired nuclear weapons with Facebook or Twitter, I probably only need one second to explode the weapons.”

“True,” he hesitated for a moment, then understood the humor in Lilith’s words, and laughed. “But speaking of which, you know Facebook and Twitter?”

Indeed, after all, nuclear weapons were not launched on Twitter and Facebook.

Jiang Chen was not aware of the launch procedure of the UA, but for Celestial Trade, from the moment he pressed the button to the launch of the missile deployed at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, there were at least three procedures, and physical isolation existed between each procedure.

For example, in the last procedure, after confirming the order, two staff members at the launch pad must insert metal keys into the lock, and they must rotate the key to start the launching process at the same time, and then the third person must enter the launch code through the mechanical keyboard.

No one would be foolish enough to believe the rumor of a hacker using cyber-attack to paralyze a country’s nuclear weapons.

“I can get a lot of information from that game, and I can even pinpoint exactly which player has spoken to whom and at what time.” Lilith explained. She made it sound like it was something that could be easily done by everyone.

Just a back door on the server allowed her to evolve up to this point. What if she touched Future Technology’s server? Perhaps even the fabled Skynet project would not be able to achieve this…
