"Since Oasis Base can independently develop satellites, it is enough to show that Oasis Base has excellent technology in this area. In addition, the director of Qinglong Base could have not informed us, but he made a special trip to deliver the message. We can also see the sincerity of Oasis Base and Qinglong Base in their friendship."

The base chief of the Azure Dragon Base spoke slowly and deliberately, yet every word he uttered was powerful. As a junior, Fang Qingdai did not put on airs as the base chief and listened attentively.

The conversation between the two parties was very comfortable and polite.

Upon seeing this, the commander of the Qinglong Base smiled and asked, "Our base has been conducting research and development in aerospace technology. I wonder if the Oasis Base would be interested in joining us?"

Fang Qingdai was taken aback: "Do you mean a manned passenger plane or a lunar rocket?"

Upon seeing Fang Qingdai easily mention manned rockets, the base chief of Qinglong Base turned serious: "It's astonishing that someone in the wasteland is so familiar with manned rocket technology. Base Chief Qing is indeed very knowledgeable."

Fang Qingdai pursed her lips. Could the record of rocket launches have disappeared so completely? Have people in the wasteland stopped believing that manned rocket technology ever existed?

The base chief of Qinglong Base explained: "The wasteland civilization has a severe gap. Even if relevant information about manned rockets has been unearthed, most people do not believe it. People believe that if manned rocket technology really exists, they will definitely be able to escape this planet by rocket when the apocalypse comes. The reason why they do not escape is that they believe that the rocket landing on the moon is an ancient legend and is more of a myth."

Fang Qingdai thought about it and understood.

The moon is a dead planet. When the apocalypse arrives, humanity's technology will only allow them to land on the moon, and due to technological limitations, it will be impossible to take a large population away.

Their survival after leaving is not guaranteed.

Given that people today have lower levels of education, it's understandable that they don't believe that manned rocket technology ever existed.

"We don't yet have the capability to work on manned rocket technology. What we're currently developing is manned passenger aircraft technology. With fighter jet data as a foundation, bringing a manned passenger aircraft to fruition shouldn't be too difficult. If Oasis Base is interested, they can join our R&D department."

Fang Qingdai agreed without hesitation: "Of course I'm willing!"

"The Qinglong Base has far superior scientific research technology compared to the Oasis Base. We are very grateful for the opportunity to learn from them. In return, on behalf of the Oasis Base, I promise to print a copy of all the books in our collection and send it to the Qinglong Base. Let us join hands and climb the peak of science together!"

The commander of the Azure Dragon Base was overjoyed and said "good" three times in a row. He looked at Fang Qingdai with gentle satisfaction, as if he were looking at his own child.

But for some reason, the commander of the Azure Dragon Base suddenly became serious. He seemed hesitant and looked at Fang Qingdai for a long time without being able to speak.

Fang Qingdai's heart was also on edge because of his posture.

"Chief Hong, please speak frankly!"

The base manager of Qinglong Base is named Hong Wenlong, hence the title "Base Manager Hong".

When Chief Hong heard Fang Qingdai say this, he frowned and still brought up the question.

"That's right, you should have also heard some things from Wang Lian about the leak of nuclear bomb technology data that our side possesses..."

Fang Qingdai also became serious: "Yes, I've heard about it."

Hongji continued, "In the early days of the wasteland, it was proposed to permanently ban nuclear bomb technology, since the apocalypse was largely caused by the use of nuclear weapons in wars."

Fang Qingdai nodded. Of course she knew the severity of nuclear contamination. Not to mention the destructive power of nuclear weapons, the subsequent pollution effects alone were enough to leave the planet devastated.

The wasteland we see today is proof of that.

Commander Hong said, "But now that nuclear technology has been leaked, after several discussions, we believe that we still need to restart the development of nuclear weapons, not for retaliation, but more for deterrence."

Otherwise, if only the enemy possesses this technology, then other bases will become lambs to the slaughter.

That traitor from the Azure Dragon Base is most likely currently staying at the Black Tortoise Base.

Judging from Li Weidong's behavior, you can tell that he is someone who thrives on chaos, and the conflict between the three bases may very well have been instigated by him.

No one knows his purpose, but what is clear is that if he is not controlled and sufficient resources are used to suppress him, that person will definitely be able to reshape the wasteland!

Fang Qingdai remained silent for a long time. She knew the concerns of the Azure Dragon Base and that they were forced to take this action.

Moreover, this all boils down to the Azure Dragon Base's affairs. If they make a decision, the Oasis Base has no power to stop them.

She also knew that nuclear technology, whether now or in the past, was a technology that everyone feared yet desperately wanted to possess. If any power mastered this technology, it would be a threat to all other powers.

Only by doing everything in our power to overcome this technological hurdle can we avoid being completely outmatched and forever inferior to others.

But as a resident of the wasteland, Fang Qingdai was genuinely worried and uneasy about the possibility of nuclear war.

She couldn't even control her own heart. A crazy desire surged within her. The Oasis Base should also develop nuclear weapons. How could the Oasis Base not have them? Was the Oasis Base only fit to live under someone else's thumb?

Seeing Fang Qingdai's pain and struggle, Chief Hong said in a deep voice, "Like Chief Qingdai, I still believe that once nuclear technology is developed, it cannot just be stored in a warehouse to gather dust as a deterrent forever. After all, people's hearts are the hardest thing to control."

Once you truly possess the power to rewrite history and reshape the power structure, who can truly control their inner desires forever?

Fang Qingdai looked up in surprise: "So, you mean?"

"I know the capabilities of the Qing base commander. What I mean is, we need to work together to destroy the technical data they possess before they actually develop nuclear weapons!"

"I can't guarantee that once this data is destroyed, no force will be able to build nuclear bombs in the future, but all we can do now is delay the emergence of nuclear bombs. The wasteland is not yet able to withstand such a huge impact."

After pondering for a long time, Fang Qingdai nodded: "I am willing to cooperate, but we know very little about that person, and we still need the Azure Dragon Base to develop a targeted plan."

Commander Hong nodded: "Of course, our spies have been working hard and have now confirmed that the person is indeed in the Xuanwu base. Next, we will investigate the operation of their newly built laboratory. Once we find that they are developing nuclear weapons, we will take immediate action."

After talking with Commander Hong, Fang Qingdai was restless on her way back.

This feeling of having your life force controlled by someone else is absolutely awful.
