On the space elevator leading to Star Ring City, Jiang Chen stood by the floor-to-ceiling window of the head cabin, overlooking the blue covered by pure white, and slowly faded away in his field of vision. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Thinking back on the leisure time on the island in the past two days, he was really a little reluctant to end the vacation so hastily, but he had to sigh when he thought of the importance of the 071 mine.

Just then, a man walked up to him and stood still.

"It's a beautiful view, isn't it?"

Jiang Chen turned his head, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "It's you, so coincidental?"

Wu Changfeng smiled and said in a teasing tone, "Because of work needs, I have to go back and forth between Shangjing and Star Ring City. I spent at least one week of the month in the space elevator. ”

Jiang Chen smiled and asked in a casual tone.

"By the way, is that medicine any good?"

“…… It's a lot younger. Wu Changfeng nodded and said with emotion, "Your scientific and technological strength is shocking, maybe in more than ten years, I am afraid that your country's citizenship will make everyone in the world yearn for it." ”

"You're laughing. Jiang Chen smiled and said.

But it's a joke.

Even now, the citizenship of the new country is enough to make countless people covet. Starting from the next term, President Zhang Yaping will have to start gradually tightening immigration policies.

"By the way, I came this time with a few questions from China...... I don't know if Mr. Jiang is inconvenient to answer?"

"Oh?" Jiang Chen smiled and asked, "I don't know what the problem is?"

"I heard what kind of project you're working on in the Martian colony...... What does it have to do with extraterrestrial civilizations?"

"This is a fallacy, all projects involving extraterrestrial civilizations will be disclosed to the main members of the Earth Defense Alliance, and more votes will be made to decide whether to disclose them to the secondary members. Jiang Chen immediately said righteously.

Wu Changfeng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

"Mr. Jiang misunderstood, I didn't mean anything else, I just asked......"

After the space elevator arrived, Jiang Chen and Wu Changfeng said goodbye and took the MRT to the aerospace department of Transwarp Trade.

Sitting on the MRT train, Wu Changfeng's words made Jiang Chen think for a while.

Project 071 is closely related to strong interaction materials, and it is one of the highest-level secrets of Transwarp Trade, and it is absolutely impossible to leak it out, but now it seems that the news has leaked, which makes Jiang Chen quite surprised.

He didn't think that Major General Wu was just asking casually.

The birth of this major general is not simple, although he came out of the army, but he came from the famous Second General Staff Department. Jiang Chen will not be unfamiliar with this department of the General Staff Department, which is the army intelligence department of Huaguo, which is involved in everything from internal affairs to foreign affairs, and not only has great power, but also has wide control.

However, judging from Wu Changfeng's tentative tone, Huaguo may indeed smell some rumors, but the accuracy of the news is still unconfirmed......

"Even the Chinese side has received the rumors, and the Russian side is afraid that they have heard something, is it through the supplies of the transport ship? Or is it somewhere else......?"

Just as Jiang Chen was thinking about this question, the MRT also arrived.

Putting this question aside for the time being, under the escort of the exoskeleton soldiers, Jiang Chen stepped off the MRT and walked in the direction of the Star Ring Trade and Aerospace Department.

……

In the conference room of the space command center, the relevant members of the 071 project team were already seated at the conference table.

The expressions on everyone's faces were solemn without exception.

Once any issue is stamped with the label of "extraterrestrial civilization", it will automatically rise to Class A in the secrecy level of Transwarp Trade, but at the beginning of its establishment, Project 071 was classified as S-level secret, which is enough to highlight the importance that Transwarp Trade attaches to Project 071.

The door of the conference room was pushed open, and when Jiang Chen appeared at the door, all the top experts and researchers in the industry couldn't help but sit up straight and stopped whispering.

Walked to the top of the conference table and sat down, Jiang Chen cleared his throat and said briefly.

"I'm sorry, but the elevator encountered strong air currents in the troposphere and was ten minutes late. Your time is precious, so let's get started. ”

After speaking, Jiang Chen looked at Kerrwin.

Kirwin nodded knowingly, and immediately announced the meeting begin.

The lights in the conference room dimmed, and even a pin could be heard silently on the ground.

"It was decided by the project team to drop drones into the hollow core layer below the 071 mine. Based on the data from below...... I'll just show you the picture. As he spoke, Kerrwin pressed down on the trackpad of the conference table and looked at the experts and researchers who were working on it, "By the way, this three-dimensional image that has just come out of the oven is also an S-Class secret. ”

Three-dimensional graphics emerge on the conference table.

Pale blue particles of light emerge out of thin air, forming straight lines that alternate in the air, drawing a network map of the Martian landscape layer by layer. Immediately afterward, the particles of light fill the underneath the Martian landscape mesh and wind downwards until they distort into a spiral-like image.

There was a look of surprise on everyone's faces.

"What is this?"

"Incredible shape. ”

"A vein of a natural mine......ral?

"Could it be alkaline albite veins? Mars has experienced massive volcanic activity, as evidenced by rock specimens brought back from Martian colonies. Considering the acidic environment of Mars, it is likely that the alkaline igneous were eroded......"

"It's possible, but that doesn't explain why our seismic observations are ...... anomalously."

"Could it be a rare mineral residue?"

Looking at the whispering scholars at the conference table, Kirwin coughed lightly, motioned for everyone to look at him, and propped his hands on the table.

"The first question to be discussed at this meeting is whether our discovery of the 071 mine is a natural occurrence or a relic of an extraterrestrial civilization...... Or something like that. ”

There was silence in the conference room.

It was a long time before a whisper continued.

"If it's man-made, what's the point of building a spiral? In terms of space utilization, this structure is completely meaningless......

At this moment, Dr. Amos, who had been sitting in the corner of the conference table and had no presence from beginning to end, suddenly spoke.

"I remember when I was 7 years old, my grandfather in Bavaria took me to do an experiment," he said, pausing to meet the eyes of the pair that looked at him, and then said, "He took me to pour the liquid molten aluminum into the anthill, and when the molten aluminum cooled, we could get a model of the aluminum anthill......"

"I'm sorry to interrupt, Dr. Amos, we're talking about the 071 site," one professor interrupted in a teasing tone, "besides, there are no ants on Mars. ”

"I know," Amos shrugged, "but who knows, maybe Mars three billion years ago was inhabited by some other arthropod." Don't you think this spiral-like structure is very similar to an anthill?"
