Chapter 134: District 51
BDH, in a compound in a recuperation base for senior military cadres.
Green vines crawl densely all over the shelves, blocking out the scorching summer sun.
Under the grape trellis, two old men sat down on both sides of the chessboard, one of whom looked to be in his eighties, wearing a blue and white navy undershirt, and traces of blue shampoo and white could be seen on his clothes. Another elderly man wears a white shirt and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face, typical of an intellectual.
"General!haha, Lao Mu, you lost again!"
The old man in glasses pushed the cannon to the end, and directly came as an afterthought, and then looked triumphantly at the old man in the navy shirt on the opposite side.
"Alas, no, no, I didn't pay attention this time, it doesn't count, it doesn't count!"
Lao Mu shouted, reaching out to put the cannon back in its original position.
The old man with glasses was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Lao Mu, there are no regrets, there are no regrets, there are only three chances to regret a game of chess, and you have run out!"
Lao Mu pretended to frown and said, "Are you running out?" Why do I only remember to use it twice?"
The old man with glasses saw Lao Mu's pretentiousness at a glance, and said with a smile: "Then you should think about it again!"
Lao Mu frowned and thought about it for a long time, but after all, he still didn't put the chess pieces back in place!
At this time, a plainly dressed and kind-eyed grandmother came out of the house, and saw that the two of them were fighting for a game of chess like old children, and the old grandmother said: "I said Lao Mu, you usually don't have a proper shape, why do you still look so shameless today, if Xiao Chen comes over to see you later." I don't know what to be disappointed about!"
When Lao Mu heard this, he glared and said: "Lao Tzu was like this when he beat Lao Jiang and Xiao Japan and Lao Mei, and there was a kind of letting him talk to those people!"
Seeing that Lao Mu still dared to talk back, Grandma Mu suddenly became angry, glared and said: "I said old man, did you take gunpowder or what? Shanshan finally brought a more reliable boyfriend to the door this time, you have this attitude? If you dare to scare Xiao Chen's child away, I have to fight with you!"
As soon as Shanshan was mentioned, Lao Mu suddenly fell like a frosted eggplant!
The glasses old man sitting opposite Lao Mu looked at the old woman curiously and said, "Old sister-in-law." When did your Sanshan have a boyfriend?"
I was amazed by the words!
When Lao Mu heard this, he suddenly stopped talking. shouted: "Old Qiao, look at what you said, why can't our family Shanshan have a boyfriend?"
Lao Qiao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Lao Mu, don't wronged me. I didn't mean that!"
Lao Mu snorted lightly. He laughed again. said proudly: "If you want to talk about my family Shanshan, I didn't bother to say all the nonsense gossip in the past, but the vision of picking a man is first-class." This Xiao Chen. is from a white family, and both parents are from the Antarctic scientific expedition team, which is the couple who died in Antarctica in 08. After graduating from university, he started from scratch, accumulated hundreds of millions of assets in just a few months, and not long ago showed his skills in the French airport pick-up incident, without any flying experience, he drove an Airbus A330 and landed safely at Paris-Charles de Gaulle International Airport, for which he also won the French Legion of Honor!"
Lao Qiao was slightly stunned, and said suspiciously: "Are you talking about Chen Xin, how did he get along with your daughter?"
Lao Mu said with a smile: "It seems that you also know him, and being able to get along with him can only show that our family Shanshan has a good eye!"
In fact, he and Grandma Mu basically have no doubts about the relationship between Chen Xin and Mu Yunshan, and they also know Mu Yunshan's temperament, what happened on the No. 1 chief's plane last time has already been spread in the circle, and Old Man Mu knows in his heart that if other people dare to talk to Mu Yunshan like this, even if she is on the chief's plane, she is afraid that she will have slapped her in the face, and she will not behave like that at all.
In addition, Grandma Mu later called Mu Yunshan, Mu Yunshan has been hesitant about this matter and refused to admit it, until she was in a hurry, she had to promise Grandma Mu to take Chen Xin home as soon as possible for the second elder to see.
In the past two days, a thick stack of information about Chen Xin has accumulated in Mu Lao's study, basically checking everything he has done since he was a child. Whether it is Old Man Mu or Grandma Mu, they are quite satisfied with Chen Xin in their hearts, and they have already regarded him as the best choice for their nephew and son-in-law.

United States, Area 51!
For the famous secret base of the US military, not many people on Shijie will be unfamiliar.
Area 51 is an area of approximately 155 square kilometers located in Lincolnshire, southern Nevada, USA, 130 kilometers southeast of downtown Las Vegas.
At an altitude of 1,350 meters, it is part of the vast U.S. Air Force Range (NAFR).
On the satellite map, Area 51 is marked by several cyan airstrips in the shape of fields. One of the shijie is said to be the longest, with a length of 7,093 meters. Not far from Area 51 is the Nevada Shiyan Field, where the U.S. Department of Energy tested nuclear weapons.
In the vicinity of Area 51, red prohibitory signs - "No Photography", "No Entry", and even "No Lethal Weapons Authorized" - are everywhere, telling approachers that this is a highly classified location - that trespassers are in danger of their lives. Locals say any uninvited guests will be evicted by helicopters and armed guards.
It is reported that only those with a very high level of security and who have been invited by the highest levels of the military or the top of the intelligence agency are likely to enter the military base. Before visiting Area 51, all persons must take a strict legal oath of confidentiality.
Civilly, Area 51 is also known as a variety of mysteries, and the classified flying machine Shiyan, combined with some reports of anomalous phenomena, has made Area 51 the focus of modern UFO and conspiracy theories.
For example, it has been claimed that the U.S. is shiyan, reverse engineering, and preserving the crashed alien spacecraft (including materials believed to have been recovered from the Roswell UFO crash), conducting research on its crew (both alive and dead), developing applications for meteorological weapons or special energy weapons (SDI), or other things.
It has also been said that the U.S. government has built a huge underground facility in Mafu Lake (or nearby Baby Lake) to carry out these activities.
But then there was a new claim that the most secret work previously carried out at Mafu Lake had been transferred to Dagway Shiyan Field in Utah in the '90s, and that the clandestine activities now taking place at Mafu Lake were nothing more than a diversion from the public eye.
Of course, there are also countless cultural symbols associated with District 51.
For example, Area 51 has been featured in the TV series "The Simpsons", Futurama, The X-Files, Hijacking, Seven Days, Star Trek, Wushan Adventures: Deep Space Nine, Spicy Girl, MegasXLR (Area 50), as well as Stargate SG-1, the movie "Mav Lake", "Independence Day" and ID4 Star Terminator, as well as the games "Deus Ex", "Tomb Raider 3", "Perfect Darkness", "Skater Master", "Twisted Metal Racing 3", "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" (called Area 69), "Lore Jihua" (called Area 42), "Warcraft Shijie: Burning Crusade" (called Area 52). Most of the scenes in Half-Life are set in and around the fictional Black Mountain Institute, and are supposed to be based on Area 51. It has also been featured in a number of novels written by Dale Brown and a series of novels by Robert Doherty depicting the events that take place after the scientists in Area 51 get in touch with the Shape.
The presence of the town of Rachel, near Area 51, has also brought it a good reputation, and the annual influx of tourists has become the backbone of the town's economy.
Locals provide food and lodging for tourists, as well as the buying and selling of goods with the theme of outer space and "aliens".
With the hope of aviation enthusiasts to see the RedFlag exercises, the number of tourists has increased year after year.
There's a small museum selling maps, photos, badges, and other materials about Area 51, as well as a small local hotel, aptly named "The Little Ale Inn" and proudly displaying a time capsule gifted by the Celestial Earth Strike Back crew.
Of course, regardless of public speculation, this base has always been one of the most classified bases in the U.S. military's sequence.
Before he became president, O'Guanhai also believed that this base was just one of the secret weapons of the US military, and the speculation circulating in the public mouth was just people's imagination after dinner, and it was not until he took over as president that he understood the importance of this base to the American government.
