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

Chapter 15 Abnormal Radiation
The reason why Chen Jian reacted so strongly to the thrown weapon was because he was too familiar with that thing.

Not only him, but everyone else in the four-man team almost simultaneously fixed their eyes on the object that had fallen to the ground with a thud.

Before Chen Jian could say anything, Shen Yue had already rushed forward impatiently, pulled the thing out from the pile of broken bones, wiped off the dust on it and said:
"Oh my god, it's really QN-202, Hidden Arrow!"

"There are at least six rounds of ammunition in here, but I don't know how well it's maintained."

As he spoke, Shen Yue unzipped his backpack.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he exerted force, the backpack, which was already rotten, was completely shattered.

This situation made Chen Jian frown immediately.

The outside is already so rotten, how can the inside be okay?
And sure enough, after Shen Yue took out the six micro missiles one by one, everyone could see that the situation was not optimistic.

The outer shell of the missile body had obvious signs of weathering and rust, but fortunately the equipment backpack was a relatively sealed storage container, so the missiles did not completely rot into ashes.

“Can it be repaired?”

Chen Jian walked forward and asked.

Lei Jie, who was also watching Shen Yue's actions, shook his head and replied:
"It's hard to say. Judging from its state of preservation, the outer shell is still intact, and the overall sealing should not be a big problem."

"But whether the explosives inside have been exposed to moisture and whether the electronic components can still be used is another matter."

"Anyway, you can take it back and try it."

"The principle of this thing is very simple. The core part is an infrared sensor chip and a flight control chip."

"If the chip is not damaged, it will most likely still work."

"But I'm a little curious where this thing came from?"

"How could I possibly know."

Chen Jian shook his head and told Shen Yue to pack up the things first. At this moment, Xu Lie, who was rummaging around, noticed their actions, so he came over curiously and asked:
"What did you find?"

Chen Jian did not hide it, but pointed at the hidden arrow missile on the ground and said:

"this one."

Xu Lie looked down and said in astonishment:
"What do you want this for?"

"Do you know what this is for?"

Chen Jian asked back.

"Of course I know. Some special shells."

"There are so many of these that for a while, the weapons market in Jinling City was full of these shells."

"But the problem is that almost no one knows how to use this kind of shell. Even if it is fired with the barrel found together, it will deviate from the target with a strange trajectory."

"Those people in the Mechanicus said that this is because they have not yet found a way to appease the machine spirit."

"But I always feel that this might just be a cheap consumable."

"Perhaps its original purpose is to fly around everywhere after being launched, and then cover the enemy with dense artillery fire?"

"But if that's the case, its power seems a little insufficient. It's not as powerful as the large-caliber artillery made by the Mechanicus."

"So, this is probably what they call a chicken rib?"

Chicken ribs?

Chen Jian couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard this word.

You call this a piece of crap?
The combat weight is only 20kg, one missile weighs only 1.2kg, the range is 2000 meters, and the TNT charge is 150 grams. During the period when I traveled through time, some fanatics in the military who were extremely afraid of insufficient firepower replaced the traditional TNT charge with CL-20, claiming that one shot could lift an M2 into the sky.
You call this kind of thing useless?
It's useless only because you don't know how to use it!
It is certainly not used for cleaning the floor. Its original purpose is to aim at the target from a very long distance, and rely on thermal imaging guidance to stuff explosives into the target's mouth, blowing away teeth and bones together!
Chen Jian shook his head and ignored Xu Lie. Instead, he gave the order directly:

"Look around for any transmitters."

"clear."

The three of them nodded immediately, and Xu Lie kindly advised:
"You're not really going to take this thing back with you?"

"This thing is useless and you won't be able to sell it at a good price in the market."

"You might as well look around here for batteries, batteries are the good stuff."

"Batteries are indeed good things, but this thing is not bad either." Chen Jian did not refute Xu Lie this time, but asked immediately:

"Does Jinling City have power generation equipment?"

"Of course there are, but almost all of them are monopolized by the Mechanicus. Even if you want to use electricity, you must first have batteries. Otherwise, where will you store the electricity you produce?"

"It makes perfect sense!"

Chen Jian gave a thumbs up, praising Xu Lie's wisdom.

"Have you ever thought about building a generator yourself?"

".That is one of the greatest secrets of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Do you think they would make such technology public?"

Wow, things like generators have actually become the biggest secret.

To what extent has the technological gap in this world reached?
But then again, this is consistent with Chen Jian's understanding of the post-apocalyptic era.

Knowledge that is closely related to survival and life will be preserved from generation to generation, while more profound things will gradually be lost.

Everyone knows how to replace a battery, and most people know how to connect two terminals with a wire.

But no one knows how to build a generator, how to draw a circuit diagram, or how to repair precision electronic equipment.

It is no wonder that Xu Lie's description of "electricity" made Chen Jian feel confused. Most likely, he mistook electricity for something like water or fuel.
Chen Jian clicked his tongue twice, turned around and said to Lei Jie beside him:

"Look for motors, magnets, or anything like that."

"We need to charge our equipment, so we'll probably have to do it ourselves."

"clear."

Lei Jie nodded and said:
"give it to me."

"Don't worry, as long as there are people, we can definitely gather the materials to build a generator."

"That's no problem."

Chen Jian patted Lei Jie's shoulder reassuringly and was about to say something else, but at this moment, Shen Yue, who was searching around and seemed to have blended into the environment, suddenly shouted.

"Captain! Come and look at this!"

Chen Jian took two steps behind Shen Yue and looked in the direction of his finger.

It was a tightly locked metal box, and judging by the slime on it, it seemed to have been caressed by the mother not long ago.

But other than that, he didn't notice anything unusual.

"What's wrong? Can't open it?"

Chen Jian looked at Shen Yue in confusion, and Shen Yue tapped the smart eyepiece and reminded:

“Look at the numbers.”

Chen Jian frowned slightly and looked at the environmental values on the eyepiece.

And right there, there is a number jumping between white and yellow.

30CPM.

40CPM.

60CPM.

80CPM.

This is the ionizing radiation value of the surrounding environment.

The background radiation value in this area is about 30CPM. If it exceeds twice this value, the system will issue a yellow warning.

And it is obvious that the object of the system's warning at this time is the seemingly small metal box.

In an instant, Chen Jian was struck by lightning.

1102, Silo, abnormal radiation value.
This box contains something, it can't be
A nuclear warhead?
