Chapter 167 After the Storm
The storm outside did not affect the inside of the shelter. In the simple room, the land gives human security that the ocean cannot bring.
Shanzhongyin spread a bag of emergency food while spreading it. The things inside were very simple, 2 compressed biscuits, 1 pack of vitamin beverage powder, 1 serving of self-heated curry mashed potatoes, 1 pack of bean paste, 1 energy bar, and 2 pieces of plum candy.
A light yellow vitamin powder, and then waited for the curry mashed potatoes to heat up, he nibbled in compressed biscuits while waiting.
"Captain Mishima, is this a military base in China?"
Mishima thought for a while and replied, "Maybe!"
"Gin, believe it now!" Muto Osamu said while eating mashed potatoes.
Shanzhong Bank was both excited and sad: "It's so cool, but unfortunately the Self-Defense Force could not equip..."
Mishima, who was burying his head to eat, trembled slightly and then returned to normal. In fact, his heart was not as calm as it appeared.
He once served on the destroyer of the Japan Self-Defense Force. After retiring in 2003, he joined Okako Co., Ltd. where the Sapphire Princess is located.
Around 2000, China in that era was still behind the world, but now it is completely different.
In just a few decades, it has become a world-class power, and Japan once experienced an era of rapid development.
Unfortunately, with the signing of the Plaza Agreement, Japan lost 20 years, the semiconductor industry was stolen by Goryeo and the United States, and the electrical appliance industry was also squeezed by the rising star China.
The situation in recent years is even more unoptimistic. China's comprehensive strengthening of semiconductors has also overwhelmed the only remaining semiconductor equipment and raw materials in Japan.
Moreover, the comprehensive rise of China Semiconductor has brought another effect, that is, the China Electrical Appliances Industry is also undergoing renewal. It was even more difficult for Dongying Electric, which could have been able to eat some high-end product markets.
Another pillar industry, automobiles, also face strong competition from electric vehicles in China.
Judging from the GDP comparison of GDP in 2014, the first place is still the world overlord of the United States with US$16.3 trillion, the second place is China with US$12.3 trillion, and the third place is Japan with US$5.8 trillion.
It seems that the United States is still strong, but in fact, the United States' economic growth last year was 0.2, while Japan's direct negative growth was 2.4.
China is profiting from the rise of four pillar industries: semiconductors, virtual world, terahertz communications, and high-energy battery electric vehicles, with its economic growth rate reaching 19.7 last year.
With 12 years and 13 years of rapid growth, the economic scale has grown by 43 in three years, and it is estimated that it can still maintain growth of more than 10 this year.
This is the result of the United States' desperate suppression. If it is not suppressed, it will probably become the world's largest economy near 2018.
Captain Mishima sighed in his heart that the world has changed too fast, and Japan is a country that survives in the cracks, which is really difficult.
Today his worldview has been greatly impacted, and the impression that the United States has always been invincible has once again shaken.
After eating curry potatoes in a hurry, Mishima lay on the bed, but he couldn't calm down his inner throbbing for a long time.
Depressed, he put on his shirt and did not wake up the others, and walked towards the corridor alone.
In the dim corridor, it was already late at night, walking in the long passage, the crackling rain hit the glass window.
Through the glass window, the exoskeleton armored warrior flashing with red indicator lights was still patrolling unswervingly.
Take out a box of cigarettes from your trouser bag. It was a box of captains produced in Japan, with only two remaining fruits.
The lighter's flame ignited one of the cigarettes and took a hard sip. The strong smell of tobacco was mixed with a hint of tea bitterness.
Huh! As the cigarette exhaled from his lungs, there was a trace of Huigan that looked like tea leaves. He quietly looked at the exoskeleton armored patrol outside the window while smoking cigarettes one by one.
As the last bit of tobacco burned out, an endless stream of loneliness surged into my heart. The three islands seemed to be lonely and wild ghosts, and they suddenly felt lost.
Suddenly, he walked towards the afternoon sales warehouse, and Mishima was aimless along the way until he saw the two temporary telephone booths.
“Can you access the Internet by phone booth?”
The salesperson who was busy counting supplies did not raise his head and pointed at the big screen beside him: "There is an operation guide in English."
"Hi! Ariado!" Mishima bowed slightly, then turned his head and looked at the big screen carefully.
He read it very carefully, even more carefully than when he was in college. Mishima didn't seem to want to give up any words, and he was reading the Chinese version.
Hey, you can go to the virtual network
When I opened the temporary telephone booth, there was indeed an iron bed inside, and a glass cabinet was placed next to it, which was a bit similar to a vending machine.
After squeezing $50 from the coin port, a box automatically stretches out from the cabinet, which contains a pair of brainwave glasses.
Mishima walked to the bed with his brainwave glasses, lay down, put his brainwave glasses on, and then his eyes went dark. In the chaos, he entered a brand new world.
However, since he entered the Nanke Dream World as a tourist, he could only move in designated areas and many functions were also restricted.
After lingering for more than three hours, he came to a virtual library without realizing it.
Truth Library
Pushing open the door gently, the library was empty, as if in a stand-alone world, rows of books were displayed on the bookshelf.
Suddenly Mishima stopped in front of a bookshelf.
These books are very few banned books in Japan. He even saw a Japanese version of Maoxuan, pulled the books out of the bookshelf, and summoned a set of tables and chairs.
I looked through pages, and before I knew it, the middle of the night had passed, and Mishima had not been sleeping all night, and just read quietly.
It was not until the brainwave glasses automatically reminded him that there were only ten minutes of online time left that Mishima woke up from his meditation.
After waking up, he took a deep look at the red star on the cover, as if he wanted to engrave it deep in his heart.
Click to go offline.
He opened his eyes and returned to the real world again, but he felt a new life, and all the doubts in the past suddenly became clear.
"Maybe this is my mission." Mishima whispered to himself.
He stood up and moved his body, returned his brainwave glasses, and after paying 50 US dollars, he returned to the shelter.
When Muto and Yamakura Bin asked where they went last night, Mishima avoided the important thing and said he went to experience the virtual world once, and then fooled the matter.
As for the sparks burning in his heart, Mishima did not intend to tell others that there were too few like-minded people in Japan.
However, he has already planned to buy a terahertz phone. The terahertz phone can be directly logged into the Chinese Internet on the high seas.
The typhoon whales finally left the waters of the Nansha Islands at noon on June 27 and headed towards Qiongzhou in the north.
The crew and passengers who had eaten several meals of emergency food couldn't wait to return to the Sapphire Princess and after completing the relevant procedures.
The Sapphire Princess whistled and thanked Huayang Reef, and then went to Siam according to the established route.
The news that China was equipped with exoskeleton armor also spread all over the world with the departure of the Sapphire Princess.
For a time, relevant institutions around the world received news about exoskeleton armor.
