Chapter 7: Future Technology

  [[[cp|w:507|h:263|a:l|u:/chapters]]]ps: Ah ha. Hu Han San is back! Since the last car accident, I felt the preciousness and beauty of life for the first time. Wuuu, my poor right hand can't move as nimbly as before (Mysterious sound: Does that mean you can't play with your pipe anymore?) Never mind, no more nonsense. Now, based on what my sister wrote last time, I'll redo it again.

  Three magnetic storm speedboats slowed down and gradually approached the transport ship. When they reached the side of the transport ship, a soft ladder was thrown down from the bow of the boat.

  Xiao Bing Jia looked at Ajiname and nodded, the latter also responded with a nod. After calling out to several naval officers, Ajiname quickly climbed up the soft ladder.

  Another flagship that had also signaled surrender was treated similarly. Several magnetic speedboats boarded the ship to prepare for the landing of Xia Bing's troops. Other magnetic speedboats continued to patrol the sea, ready to alert Xia Bing at any moment if something went wrong.

  Ajie climbed up the ladder like a monkey, not at all like a nearly 40-year-old uncle.

  Ají was the first to board, with his rifle at the ready and bayonet fixed, pointing at the dejected Allied soldiers on the bridge. "Throw down your arms!" he shouted. "Raise your hands!" As he spoke, several more naval personnel boarded the ship.

  A small number of naval personnel on the transport ship were startled by Aggie, but wisely dropped the handful of pistols that were insufficient to constitute a threat.

  A man who appeared to be the captain of the ship, holding a white flag, came forward and said in broken Russian: "Don't shoot, we surrender."

  Aji didn't believe the man's words, furrowing his brow and saying: "Bring all your people here, and also, have them all put down their weapons. Otherwise, I'll kill you on the spot!"

  "There's no need to call them all over here, they're already all here." The man said dejectedly and shrugged his shoulders. "We are a transport ship, there aren't many people on board anyway."

  Aji looked around and found that the captured people all had bitter faces, not pretending. Aji believed about 80%.

  He made a few gestures to let the other soldiers keep an eye on these guys. Then he himself walked towards the side of the ship and made a "no problem" gesture to Xiaobing below.

  When Xiao Bingjia also arrived on the deck surrounded by soldiers, he found that all around the deck were Allied sailors squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands. Ah Ji was directing several other soldiers to do tense sentry work.

  Seeing what appeared to be a high-ranking Red Army naval officer approaching, the man who had initially held up the white flag suddenly opened his mouth and shouted: "I am the deputy commander of this fleet! I hope you can help me with something!" Before he could finish speaking, he was hit on the head by a soldier's rifle butt.

  He waved his hand to stop the soldier's reprimand, Xiao Bingjia walked over and helped him up: "Huh, you're the deputy commander of this fleet? You're the one who issued the surrender order?"

  "Yes, it's me." The man shook his head, clearly still dazed from the earlier blow. "But before you ask me any questions, I hope you can help my poor subordinates out - they were injured in the battle just now and are quite badly hurt."

  "Oh, really? Ah Ji, help them out." Xiao Bing Jia pulled out two cigarettes from his pocket and lit one himself. Then he handed one to him. "Have a smoke and calm down, it's Camel brand."

  The man did not dare to slow down his hands, caught the cigarette and lit it with a lighter handed over by Xiao Bingjia.

  "How are you feeling? Any better?"

  At this time, two Soviet military medical personnel arrived and carried the wounded on board onto stretchers and took them away.

  "——Oh, what good tobacco." The man let out a relaxed sigh. Then after smoking he had also calmed down, and gave a military salute to Xiao Bing Jia: "I am Michael Raus, Captain of the US Atlantic 2nd Fleet's 'Normandy' transport ship, leading all troops in surrender to your army."

  "Oh, it's actually a colonel!" The guard soldier next to him couldn't help but exclaim. What does capturing a colonel mean?

  Answer: Promoted two ranks and received an additional three months' salary, awarded one Red Flag Medal.

  At the thought of the red flag medal that would soon be hanging from their chest, several soldiers' eyes gleamed with gold light.

  Xiao Bingjia chuckled and said, "Right, let me ask a question." Xiao Bingjia pointed to the several containers in the center of the cabin with his cigarette. "What exactly are you transporting this time?"

  Raus smiled wryly: "I'm not entirely sure, although I am the captain of this ship. But I still don't have much opportunity to get close to those goods." His eyes glanced at several Allied soldiers who were tied up like dumplings and thrown aside "These guys are watching very closely, even I'm not allowed to approach those things..."

  "Is that so?" Xiao Bingjia gave a signal with his eyes to Aji. Aji understood, called up several people and walked towards the several containers piled together covered with black cloth.

  During that time, several Allied soldiers became extremely agitated when they saw someone approaching the containers. However, they were quickly suppressed by Soviet soldiers.

  The soldiers operated the mechanical arm to lift up the waterproof cloth, and what was revealed before their eyes was a row of dark red metal containers. It's worth mentioning that this place is indeed big enough. Fifty or sixty containers were stacked together, but only half of the area was filled.

  "Huh? Ah Qi. Take someone down and see what's inside?" Xiao Bing Jia ordered Ah Qi.

  "Yes!"

  "And also, have someone check that guy's captain's quarters for any codebooks or navigation logs." said Xiao Bingjia.

  "You don't have to worry about that," Raus said calmly. "I've already had them all destroyed." He looked rather pleased with himself as he said this.

  Xiao Bing's eyebrows furrowed, this guy is also a formidable character!

  Sure, here is the translation:

  "Sure enough, a while later the political commissar returned to report: 'Nothing valuable was found in the search, and the Americans even burned their navigation logs.'"

  Xiao Bingjia was greatly disappointed, he gained nothing. He was about to search the front cabin when Ah Qi had already led his men back. Ah Qi walked up and saluted Xiao Bingjia: "Reporting to the superior! In the cargo compartment in front, we found that it's all loaded with daily necessities, there's no contraband. Except for a special box that we can't open, everything else is normal!"

  "Huh? A box that can't be opened? What is it?" Xiao Bingjia asked in puzzlement.

  Ajie scratched his head, thinking about what kind of words to use to describe it, but after scratching his ears for half a day, he couldn't come up with a single word. In the end, he simply said "You go take a look yourself, anyway it's a big thing!"

  "......" Xiao Bing's face was full of black lines, and he said, "You're a Shanghai naval officer? Aren't they supposed to have higher cultural standards?"

  。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

  With Agie and several other soldiers leading the way, they soon arrived in front of the "thing" that Agie had mentioned. The first thing to catch their eye was a huge metal container with a silver-white body. Unlike other containers, this one had a large English character painted on it, along with a metallic triangle filled with science fiction colors.

  "Future technology..." Xiao Bing muttered to himself.

  How could Xiao Bingjia, who has played Red Alert 3: Uprising, not know this world-renowned company?

  Future-Tech Corporation is a world-leading technology supplier, with a vast product line that spans from automotive to military-grade hardware currently in service with the Allied Forces. They have recently signed a long-term agreement with an allied nation to invest a undisclosed amount of funds into a series of undisclosed patent projects.

  Although the company later relied on its wealth earned during the war to recruit a large number of mercenaries, almost triggering a new round of world war. However, their technological strength is also shocking!

  Guang Leng Technology, Miniaturized Light Emitter, Cryogenic Technology, Space Technology,... and even the most unbelievable Sigma Coordinator!!

  Xiao Bingjia muttered the names of new technologies that this company had or was about to launch, one by one. Every time he mentioned a name, Xiao Bingjia's eyebrows furrowed. To think that these were scientific terms that only existed in science fiction!

  Although the technology of the Rising Sun Empire was also very advanced in the future, it would be somewhat inferior compared to Future Technology Corporation.

  But if it's said that the Soviet army grasped these technologies, or rather, grasped them itself. Then can't it be said - that they themselves could overthrow the Empire of Rising Sun?

  As long as one day oneself grasps a certain position and army, then those scientific department guys led by Grigori Seryapin can completely turn to this side, so oneself can completely grasp an army that belongs to the Soviet Red Army but is independent of the central government, belonging to 'oneself'!

  As long as this is done, one can lead an army that completely obeys oneself. After the collapse of the Soviet Central Government, it will be entirely possible to move into Siberia or even enter China! With this, there are great possibilities!!!

  At this thought, Xiao Bing's whole body was boiling with hot blood.

  Xiao Bing Jia jumped down from the escalator and walked quickly to the container door. He turned his head back to the soldier and said, "Open the door."

  Several soldiers came forward to try and smash the anti-theft lock with their rifle butts, only to discover that it was a combination lock. Moreover, this combination lock was actually integrated into the steel plate door.

  "Hmm, what's in this box anyway? It even has a high-tech password lock." Xiaobing Jia wondered. He asked Laus for the password of the box, but this surrendered guy also shrugged and said he didn't know.

  Aji thought of a way to use a steel pipe that had been bent from the ship, inserted into the anti-theft lock. However, unfortunately, these several anti-theft locks seemed not to be simple goods, under the joint efforts of Aji and five other soldiers, in the end, what was bent was the steel pipe used as a lever.

  What can be done? This group of people was at a loss. In the end, it was Ajie who suggested using a welding gun to cut and solve the problem directly.

  Ajie fetched the blowtorch from the boat and sprayed it directly at the steel pillars without even wearing protective gear. The 3000-degree flames pierced through the steel pillars like a sharp sword.

  But this time, it disappointed Xiao Bing Jia again. This steel bar, which looked as thick as a child's wrist, was welded with a blowtorch for at least 15 minutes and only turned red before quickly returning to its original state.

  "——this is really a ghost!" Xiao Bing Jia took a deep breath. But thinking again, since such a magical metal was used as protection, the things in this container must not be cheap goods.

  "I hope we don't have to use a bomb to open this thing..." Agi said, stroking his chin as he gazed at the restored alloy steel pillar.

  "Damn it!" Xiao Bing Jia slapped Ajie on the head: "Use a bomb to blow it up! It's really surprising you came up with this idea! What if there are cannonballs inside? You little brat want to sink us all to the bottom of the sea and feed the fish, huh?"

  Xiao Bingjia really got stuck with this container this time.

  Just as Xiao Bingjia was still sulking about the trunk, a messenger rushed over with an urgent telegram.

  "Comrade Regimental Commander! General Maxim has sent you an urgent telegram!"

  "Huh?" Xiao Bingjia snatched the telegram from the messenger's hand and examined it carefully in the moonlight.

  A moment later, after Xiao Bingjia finished reading the telegram, his face had turned iron-green.

  The telegram written in black ink on white paper reads: "Requesting the 2nd Squadron of torpedo boats to rush to the outer sea of Brighton and follow General Kukov to conduct a surprise landing operation!"

  People who have played Red Alert 3 know what Brighton is. Answer: The first level of the Allied campaign.

  Just as Xiao Bing Jia was about to order the entire fleet to return and rest, a deafening explosion came from the original cargo hold.

  Guess what's hidden in that container?
