Chapter 48: History and Reality

"How can you have such an idea?" General Chang Siwei, chief of the General Staff, withdrew his gaze from Lake Albert on the western border of Uganda on the map, and turned his head to look at Peng Guochen.

Peng explained: "So far, Emirates has been trying to contact the A380, but there has been no response. If the terrorists of the Green Sect had done it, I am afraid that an organization would have jumped out and claimed responsibility for the hijacking. Second, if you are an ordinary terrorist, you should find an airport to land at the airport as soon as possible after hijacking, and then contact the relevant parties to put forward your own political demands. It doesn't make sense to know that Uganda is not the Uganda of Amin's time, it is impossible to provide shelter for terrorists, and there is no need for them to fly thousands of kilometers further. ”

Peng Guochen paused and said: "Zuihou, Airbus A380 is a super-large wide-body double-decker passenger aircraft, with more than 500 passengers, and terrorists must have at least five or more people, each of whom must carry corresponding weapons to control the entire aircraft." After 911, the security checks of flights in Shijie countries have become more and more strict, and the security checks at the capital airport can be ranked in the forefront of the whole Shijie, I can't imagine how terrorists can sneak through the eyes of security and carry these weapons on the plane. As far as we know so far, apart from that mysterious war, I am afraid that no other terrorist group has such capabilities......"

Chang Siwei was silent, Peng Guochen said that there was some truth, if the hijacking incident was really done by the war, then the other party's motive for flying to Uganda was obvious, and there would be no other targets except Xingshi.

It's just that in this way, all the domestic assessments of the strength of the war situation have to be overturned, an organization that knows about the existence of Xingshi, an organization that tries to fish in the muddy waters between various major powers, is not as simple as a terrorist organization.

The only thing that Chang Siwei couldn't figure out was that if the war suddenly had this strength, wouldn't it be better to hide in the shadows, why would he hijack the plane with great fanfare?

Chang Siwei naturally didn't want to say these words to Peng Guochen in detail, anyway, as long as the plane landed in a few hours, everything would be revealed, and the key to the problem now was not in the war, not in the hijacking, or even in the kidnapped hostages.

Both China and the United States are targeting the starstone hidden deep beneath Lake Albert on Uganda's western border.

Although Chang Siwei has not really seen the real thing of the star stone so far, he still has a considerable understanding of the history of the appearance of the star stone in several studies organized by the 705 project team.

The real first star stone on Shijie was dug up by the United States in 1957 during the large-scale construction of the Amundsen Scott Scientific Research Station in Antarctica.

On January 23, 1957, the National Science Foundation (NSF) of the U.S. government began to build the Amundsen Scott Scientific Research Station at the South Pole, which is 2,900 meters above sea level and named after the two famous explorers Amundsen and Scott who first reached the South Pole.

As classified U.S. documents have not yet been declassified, the exact construction of the Amundsen Scott Scientific Expedition and how it was discovered is unknown.

But to this day, Amundsen Scott Station is the largest and most important scientific research station in the Antarctic interior.

With a 4,270-meter-long runway, radio communication equipment, geophysical monitoring stations, mainframe computers, and more, Amundsen Scott Station can accommodate 150 scientists and logistics personnel.

Mainly engaged in the study of upper atmospheric physics, meteorology, earth sciences, glaciology and biology, the actual location of the research station has deviated from the South Pole because the ice is moving towards South America at an average rate of 10 meters per year. To this end, the United States has planned to rebuild the research station Jihua, and has completed the construction of the new oil depot and airport runway, and the entire Jihua is expected to be completed in five years.

According to the assessment of the 705 engineering team, it was precisely because of the excavation of the star stone at the scientific research station that the United States set off another major leap in the field of science and technology in the history of human civilization after the steam revolution and the electric power revolution, which is the so-called third scientific and technological revolution.

It is mainly marked by the invention and application of atomic energy, electronic computers, space engineering and bioengineering, and involves an information control revolution in many fields such as information technology, new energy information, new materials, biology, space and ocean. This scientific and technological revolution has not only greatly promoted changes in the social, economic, political, and cultural fields of mankind, but has also affected the way of life and way of thinking of mankind, and has enabled human social life and human modernization to develop to a higher realm.

The second star stone was discovered by the Soviet Union in 1962 near the Antarctic Vostok Station (freezing point), which greatly promoted the development of the former Soviet Union's military science and technology industry, so that it once suppressed Uncle Sam in the Cold War in the seventies and eighties of the twentieth century.

Due to the presence of star stones at the pole of the South Pole (Amundsen Scott Station) and the freezing point (Voston Station) in the South Pole, France, which seized the Antarctic magnetic point (Dumont Deville Station) in 1956, began to desperately search for traces of the star stones nearby, but it took several decades to find no trace of the star stones.

In 2000, an American scientific expedition team found traces of another star stone in the Erebus Mountains in Antarctica, and after excavating at any cost, the United States successfully pocketed the second star stone.

After this news was known to various countries, France's enthusiasm for looking for star stones near the Antarctic magnetic point was greatly reduced, and even countries became less interested in a point in the interior of Antarctica that had not yet been seized - the high point (Kunlun Station).

In 2008, China officially established its first inland research station, Kunlun Station, at the high point of Antarctica, and soon after the discovery of a fourth star stone......

At that time, Chang Siwei was only a lieutenant general and had not yet held the post of chief of the general staff of the PLA. It wasn't until later that he learned that that year, in order to snatch the star stone, the hooligans of the five permanent members of the United Nations fought in Antarctica.

At that time, China's Second Artillery Corps had all entered a state of first-class combat readiness, and its ballistic missile nuclear submarines had evaded the numerous blockades of the United States and Japan and were cruising in the depths of the Pacific Ocean.

More than a month later, another shocking event occurred in Antarctica, two geologists from the Chinese Antarctic expedition team disappeared, and China successfully transported the star stone back to China.

Fortunately, all these things happened in Antarctica, and they were easily suppressed by the joint efforts of various countries, and all the relevant data files entered the top-secret archives, and they wanted to be declassified until at least a hundred years later.

As for the 705 project team, it is a secret department set up by 286 (Taizong) in the early eighties of the last century specifically for the study of star stones, and at the beginning of its establishment, it absorbed a group of top experts in various specialties, and later Antarctic scientific expeditions and the establishment of the Great Wall Station and Zhongshan Station were led by this department.

In 1986, the 705 Project Group even participated in the drafting of the National High Jishu Research and Development Jihua (863jihua).

However, before 2008, the 705 project had a low reputation among many confidential units, and it was not until China got the star stone that this unit quickly entered the sight of some well-intentioned people.

In 2009, the 705 engineering team discovered a peculiar resonance phenomenon while studying star stones.

Later, after repeated calculations by scientists, it was found that another resonance source was actually located on the distant African continent.

Therefore, the 705 project team conducted secret seismic exploration through the exploration camp of PetroChina Great Wall Exploration Company in Uganda to find the location of the resonance source.

No one expected that just as the excavation was in the final stage, the news would leak out.

The U.S. military took China's secret camp directly through local tribal forces, and all Chinese involved in the excavation were taken hostage.

Because China's military presence in Africa is too weak, the Chinese military leaked the news to Britain, France, Russia and other countries on the one hand, and sent secret troops to infiltrate Uganda on the other hand.

France's military power in Africa is even stronger than that of the United States, and once these countries get involved, the situation will definitely become a mess, and China will have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

As far as China is concerned, even if it can't get it, it would rather let Britain, France, Russia and other countries get the star stone, and never let it fall into the hands of the United States, otherwise the United States will have three star stones in its hands, and other countries will not have to mix on the earth.
