Chapter 237: Secrets
In the end, things did not develop as Jiang Tian imagined, and the freighter had a smooth journey and arrived safely at the port of Huaxia Kingdom, and then the group flew to the base of Changbai Mountain by helicopter overnight.
As soon as they entered Changbai Mountain, Feilong and Tie Yun pulled Jiang Tian and carried a rifle into the deep mountains to hunt, in their words, a fierce battle always needs a time to indulge.
The three of them are all martial arts masters, and it is naturally difficult to stop them on the mountain road, and when they encounter a steep slope, it is a longitudinal line.
Feilongzi carried the gun and sighed: "Hey, how good it would be if you were in a big city now, there would be good food and drink, and there would be fun!"
Tie Yun added a sentence later: "I think you miss your sister, if I am the head of the Wudang faction, I have to expel you from the division, and the reputation of the Wudang faction will be ruined by working part-time!"
"You are worthy of the reputation of the Iron Sword Gate, who has to go with me every time!" Wyvern rolled his eyes.
"I said two, you are so loud, how can you hunt!" Jiang Tian smiled helplessly.
For three days in a row, the two of them dragged Jiang Tian to the deep mountains to hunt, but every time they found nothing, because the two guys were too good at making trouble.
On the fourth day, when Wang Zhen found him, Jiang Tian realized that Feilongzi and Tie Yun had deliberately lured him away in the previous three days.
In the office, Wang Zhen's expression was serious: "Jiang Tian, every word I say to you next, I hope you will guarantee with your personality that you will not leak out half a point, even if it is your closest person!"
Seeing Wang Zhen's serious look, Jiang Tian had to nod, he knew that this secret must be related to what Wang Zhen always said before, "You will know in the future".
Wang Zhen said: "You must be curious to know why a base is established here, and why a martial arts organization like us would set up its headquarters in this deep mountain and old forest!"
"That's right, shouldn't we be set up in a big city, so it's more mobile to deal with emergencies!" Jiang Tian asked very cooperatively.
"Because there's a passage to other worlds, and we call it the Border!"
The so-called words are not shocking and endless, if it weren't for Wang Zhen's identity here, if it were someone else. Jiang Tian will definitely scoff at this, what are you kidding, and other worlds, you think you are making a sci-fi blockbuster.
Jiang Tian stared at Wang Zhen: "Other worlds?"
Wang Zhen nodded solemnly: "Yes." A planet completely different from our earth, with no modern weapons, no technology, no solar system, but there are magical races that only exist in classics or novels. Terrifying monsters, magical magic, incredible so-called miracles. We've all met in that world!"
"Do you mean that there is such a world, and our country has sent people to investigate it?" Jiang Tian felt that it was still a little incredible, this universe really existed on a planet of life other than the earth?
Wang Zhen nodded heavily: "We not only sent men and horses in, but also built a castle inside, and the troops/teams stationed in Changbai Mountain are an important force guarding this border?"
"What do you mean?" Jiang Tian asked.
Wang Zhen's face was solemn: "Decades ago. This boundary mouth suddenly appeared, accompanied by the opposite planet's demonic beasts and humans entering the Changbai Mountain Range, causing great damage to the earth, and even hunting and plundering the resources of the mountain range for the people of Fang Yuan, and later the country discovered the abnormality here, so it sent an army/team to encircle and suppress. ”
Wang Zhen's face showed a look of recollection: "It was a big battle, our modern power and the power of magic were dueling, and the other party also had terrifying demonic beasts, and we paid huge casualties to drive the other party out of Changbai Mountain, and since then there have been troops/teams stationed in Changbai Mountain." That war. The masters of the various sects of the Huaxia Kingdom suffered heavy losses, and the country did not dare to enter that boundary rashly, because no one knew what kind of place it was. ”
"Ten years later, the power of the country has grown considerably. Only then did we send a large number of warriors and 1,000 troops/teams to venture into the border, only to find that the opposite side is also a living planet like the earth, and after our research on the captives, we know their common language, and we also know that they call their planet Atlante. It's just that the planet isn't a tech planet. Instead, they have taken a completely different path from Earth, a planet where magic is rife, and their magicians have great power and can cause great damage to our troops/teams. ”
"After a few years of fighting, we were able to gain a foothold near the boundary and establish the castle base, and then we were attacked from time to time by the countries near that planet, and each one was an extremely tragic battle. The most recent major war was 5 years ago, when we transported powerful missiles beyond the border to deter the other side, in exchange for 5 years of peace, but no one knows when the next big war will break out, so in Changbai Mountain, a certain number of troops/teams are stationed all year round just in case!"
Jiang Tian frowned: "Won't that boundary pass disappear? If it suddenly disappears, won't the people who were stationed in the past never come back?"
It is conceivable how terrifying it will be for the modernization department/unit to lose its logistical supplies.
Wang Zhen shook his head: "Since it appeared to the present, not only has it not disappeared, but under our induction, the ability fluctuations of the boundary mouth have become more and more stable, and we predict that this energy boundary mouth is estimated to last for at least a hundred years!"
"Isn't that the battle at the boundary crossing can't stop for 100 years, and how many resources will it consume from the country!" Jiang Tian said.
Wang Zhen shook his head: "I think, the high-level actually doesn't want this boundary to disappear!"
"Why?" Jiang Tian blurted out, and then said, "Is there something we need on that planet?"
A rare smile appeared on Wang Zhen's zombie face: "Clever! We sent a large number of engineers to that planet, and they found that there are rich mineral resources on that planet, and the various mineral resources within a radius of 500 kilometers of our castle alone are worth the reserves of our entire country, which is such a surprising and exciting thing, which also makes the high/layer make up their minds to defend the castle base, excavate the minerals of that planet, and continuously transport resources to our country!"
Jiang Tian frowned, what he considered was that this was like a war, although there were rich resources, but there would be countless people who would sacrifice for it, just like the rice country in order to control the central/eastern region, for the sake of oil resources, although it achieved its strategic purpose, but the rice soldiers who sacrificed for this every year are countless, so that many families fall into grief.
However, Jiang Tian also knew that this kind of thing could not be controlled by himself, Wang Zhen was able to tell himself this secret, and it was probably a decision after careful consideration, after all, his first strength was not weak, and the 3-star martial artist was at least ranked upstream in the martial arts world of Huaxia Kingdom.
According to Wang Zhen, the combat effectiveness stationed in the Atlante continent consists of two parts, one is the unit/team with modern weapons, and the other is the warrior with strong single strength, and with the previous wars, the warriors have suffered heavy losses, and the country's demand for warriors has become more and more urgent.
Could it be that Wang Zhen also wants to send himself to the Atlante continent?
To be honest, Jiang Tian was very curious about that planet of life, but he really didn't want to go for the sake of carrying out a mission, and even his troops/teams had suffered heavy losses, it was conceivable that the magic of that planet had developed to what extent it was far from being comparable to the magic on the earth, and his current strength was not weak, but who knew if he would encounter a more powerful existence.
Wang Zhen continued: "The abundant mineral resources are only a part, what we value more is the magical civilization of that planet, because some experts have proposed that if we can absorb a certain magical civilization in science and technology, we may be able to upgrade the country's industry to a higher level, and the combination of the two can achieve incredible results." ”
"The combination of technology and magical civilization?" Jiang Tian was a little surprised, he had to admire the first expert to come up with this kind of key, it was simply a brain-opener.
"Is that any results?" Jiang Tian asked.
Wang Zhen shook his head slightly: "Yes, but there is not much progress, the most difficult thing is that we don't have ready-made magic talents, and we don't understand the magic array of that planet at all." ”
"There are magicians in the Western world, although the number is small, but if you want to win over, it's not impossible!" Jiang Tian said.
Wang Zhen nodded: "We did use some conditions that made it difficult for those magicians to refuse, but to be honest, the magical civilization that once appeared on the earth was too long, and what was left was only a rough embryo, and the magical civilization of the Atlante continent has developed to its peak." It's like if we ask a bunch of students who have only studied math in junior high school to crack calculus in college, it's hard, it's hard!"
"So you're constantly collecting as many of that planet's magic arrays as you can for research?" Jiang Tian asked.
Wang Zhen nodded: "There is also a boundary in the Wa Kingdom, which is in their Fuji Mountains, but their boundary is more than ten years later than ours, this time our intelligence agency has sent news that they have obtained a more important magic array, so we did not hesitate to take the risk to grab it!"
Seeing Jiang Tian frowning, Wang Zhen smiled and said, "Don't think that we are invading, the Wa Kingdom has also sent people to sabotage our operations and rob our resources!"
"Then do you know where the stronghold of the Wa Kingdom is on the Atlante continent?" Jiang Tian asked.
Wang Zhen shook his head: "I don't know, don't look at the borders on the earth are not far apart, but on the Atlante continent, they may be thousands of miles apart!"
"How many borders are there on Earth?"
Wang Zhen said: "At present, there are 7 of them, distributed in various countries, but I don't know if there are other hidden ones, and according to the information we have gathered, countries have also started to develop, and it is not our country that is trying to combine magic civilization and scientific and technological civilization, so all countries are striving to take the first step, which is related to the issue of national strength and discourse!" )
