Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Hundred Years of Confidentiality
In the telescope lens, Song Xiaoshuang noticed that on the roof of a bungalow at the checkpoint, a Mauritanian army flag was raised again, and the green branches and leaves of a tamarisk tree swayed in the wind, which somewhat set off the brand-new military flag, indicating that the checkpoint had been recovered from the rebel forces who had crossed the border and crossed the border.
Song Xiaoshuang also saw that some vehicles and personnel were beginning to be transferred, doing the work of preparing for departure, and knew that the disappearance of his three people had aroused the vigilance of Major Bashar, who had studied in China and graduated from Kunming Foot Finger, and of course the major of the Chinese Army had learned a lot about the style of the Chinese Army, and of course he would take advantage of the situation if the situation changed, and of course Song Xiaoshuang would not be worried about the commander's command level, and it seemed that the soldiers at the checkpoint still had some time before they set off.
Song Xiaoshuang's mind turned around, put away the telescope and sat on the hot stone that was scorched by the sun, feeling that the fart was indeed a little unbearable, and with a wave of his palm, a large piece of stone on the surface of the stone that was dozens of centimeters wide and ten centimeters thick was knocked out by the invisible energy in a soft sound, and Song Xiaoshuang then sat down again and felt much better, and he could no longer feel the hot heat through the fabric of the robe.
Isabel is accustomed to Song Xiaoshuang's funny approach, in her heart Song Xiaoshuang and Uncle Issam are both wizards, and it is very reasonable for her to do things strangely, she has a bundle of nylon rope hanging from her butt anyway, and there is a rope pad that is not afraid of the heat of the stone at all.
Fatuna, who was wearing a blue and black tights, was stunned, the time was the hottest time in the desert afternoon, the surface temperature of the bare stone could bake the rubber scalded eggs of the soft rubber sole for training shoes, she still paid attention to the stone that had been shaded when she chose a position to sit just now, Song Xiaoshuang actually directly cut off a layer of the stone to cool down, this kind of bad idea can be made, no wonder some people say that the average IQ of Oriental people is very high!
"Fatuna, we still have time, the Major's troops will not set off for a while, tell me what you know, and hurry up and eat something, just eat luncheon meat."
Song Xiaoshuang stood up again and observed the situation at the checkpoint with a telescope, found that there was no new movement, squatted on the stone and put down his backpack, while talking, he took out three cans of military luncheon meat, two cans were thrown to Fatuna and Isabel, opened the can in his hand, took out a piece of grease-stained luncheon meat from the can, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.
The sense of satisfaction on Song Xiaoshuang's face seemed a little strange to Fatuna, military luncheon meat was actually made by steaming with starch from meat foam mixed with many kinds of meat, but it was nutritious and not delicious.
This Song Xiaoshuang is like a student who graduated from a famous hell training camp, he can eat anything, and he also enjoys eating, the experience of this alien must be terrifying, Fatuna began to seriously think about the true extent of his words, that is, Isabel said, his credit is very good, he is not afraid of strong enemies, and his ability is strong when he is strong!
It is difficult to store water on the gentle mountain, so the vegetation is basically invisible and it is impossible to get small wooden sticks or anything, Isabel had to follow Song Xiaoshuang's example, using her fingers to get luncheon meat from the can and stuff it into her mouth, this kind of food gives her just a general feeling.
Fatuna, who was sitting not far away, saw that the two were eating without a single image, and also put down the shelf, and said in Chinese in a low voice while eating luncheon meat: "According to my speculation, Major Bashar knows at most that the Kimberlite rock cave is rich in associated minerals of gold and diamonds, and it is not uncommon for gold and diamonds to appear in a vein at the same time, but it is rare to have rich ores, which should be the main reason why the border checkpoint is established here, but it has not been mined for various reasons for the time being, and it will not be mined in the short term. The southern provinces have already extracted oil and exported it, and it is easy for desert borderers to cross the border line on the map. At most, the hung up Agent Four will tell Major Bashar to keep the mine at all costs, Agent Four is not of a high level and will not know more inside information than the Major! ”
"We basically know this, you mean that Pike Labs sent people to cooperate with the rebel forces to try to open up the mine that was deliberately blown up before, looking for energy crystals, and in the information we have learned, an armed bandit who attacked the Oasis tribe was ordered by the rebel leader to try to find energy crystals in the oasis!"
After Song Xiaoshuang swallowed a piece of luncheon meat in his mouth, he looked at Fatuna and said quickly.
Fatuna's eyes swept over the grease on the corners of Song Xiaoshuang's mouth, and after a pause, she said: "You are very pragmatic, no matter how rich gold and diamonds are, they cannot be easily mined from stones, combined with the reconnaissance data provided by Farhad and Elliham, the reasoning is also very accurate, the rebel forces just want to open up the previous mines." When Farhad and Elliham came to scout, I was busy at the checkpoint setting up the mind control machine, but both of them were careful not to be detected by me. Yes, Pike Labs does know that there is a primary deposit of energy crystal mine deep in the kimberlite mine, this kimberlite mine is a gold mine that was driven by slaves and prisoners of war to dig by the dynasty that ruled the desert of Northwest Africa hundreds of years ago, and was later abandoned as a waste mine because it could no longer dig up gold! ”
Song Xiaoshuang flattened the empty canned food box and threw it in a stone crevice, wiped the back of his hand at the corner of his mouth casually, and gestured to Fatuna to continue to talk about the main point, but he had to finish the food in the canned food first, and then stood up with his backpack on his back again, raising his binoculars and looking at the checkpoint four kilometers away.
After seeing Song Xiaoshuang's clear intentions, Isabel and Fatuna sped up the speed of eliminating luncheon meat, Isabel saw that Fatuna also had a box of arms in her palm and a purple light flashed on her clothes, and the canned box was flattened and stuffed into the stone crack by Fatuna with her skills, Isabel pursed her lips and threw the canned food box directly into the stone crevice, she didn't have the ability of Song Xiaoshuang and Fatuna.
Fatuna stared at Song Xiaoshuang, then loosened the backpack strap slightly, and continued: "I won't say much about the history of West Africa, anyway, at the beginning of the last century, in West Africa, which was still a French colony a hundred years ago, there was a team of field prospecting expeditions that re-investigated the gold mine cave that had been abandoned for a long time by the dynasty, and believed that the gold resources had not been mined at all, and the mining technology in the dynasty era was very limited. The expedition team led by several mineralogists stayed near the mine for about a month, using various verification methods, confirming that the gold mine is also rich in gold resources, and also found that there are diamonds distributed in the adjacent rock formations, like an invisible black hole, it has the effect of absorbing light! ”
Song Xiaoshuang turned his head and tilted his head, motioning for Fatuna to continue, and then focused his attention on observing the movement of the checkpoint.
Isabel felt that Song Xiaoshuang was very engaged, and as soon as her eyes rolled her eyes, she picked up a small pebble and aimed at Song Xiaoshuang's ass and threw it over, but Song Xiao, who was facing away from her, stretched out her hand and grabbed it, and as soon as her fingers pinched the stone, it became powder and drifted away with the wind, and the angry Isabel clenched her silver teeth, and she had failed to succeed in sneak attacks countless times, and then relaxed after clenching her fists, and then was attracted by Fatuna's wonderful story.
Fatuna sped up the pace of the confidential story, speaking extremely fast and speaking at an extremely fast pace, and after ten minutes, she told a rough idea.
It turned out that after the miners found the black rock wall, the mineralogists who rushed to hear the news began to think it was a graphite mine, and then tried to hit the blackened rock wall with a mineral hammer, and the stone wall was scattered with a lot of small crystals of the same size at once, and fell on the stone ground in front of the stone wall, these square cylindrical crystals of only a few centimeters looked like black crystals.
A mineralogist thought that this was a special kind of crystal mine, and then took out the mine hole into the tent and tested it by the instruments and equipment that were still crude at that time, it was not crystal at all, and the hardness was not high, and even the crystal could not be compared, and several other mineralogists were very disappointed by this, feeling that there was no use value at all, and it was not as valuable as gold, nor the hardness of diamonds, so they temporarily gave up the intention of exploring this strange crystal.
Only this mineralogist, out of professional habit, felt that this mineral crystal could absorb light, maybe it was of great scientific value, he used a wooden box containing ore specimens to fill a wooden box with the same crystal, and asked the miner to use a small amount of explosives to blow up the rock cracks to seal the crystal original ore deposit.
The expedition's later report did not mention the word "crystal", because in the eyes of the big people it was bullshit except for gold and diamonds, and it was useless to write about it, and this crystal did not constantly emit radiation outward like uranium ore, and there was no radiation at all.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, the colonial rule of the French state of West Africa was already unstable, and some of the big names in West Africa decided to temporarily seal the gold mines, using explosives to blow up the caves for a long time, and the expedition was disbanded, and the mineralogists went their separate ways.
The mineralogist with a wooden box of black crystals, many years later, returned to his hometown in France, and was trying to spend his old age in peaceWorld War II broke out, and the Vichy government of France was assigned by the German occupation forces to escort mineralogists to a train to Poland, and was imprisoned in a special research institute, together with some scientists from various European countries who were secretly arrested by the Germans, to study some strange ore specimens all day long, hoping to find more convenient energy ores than uranium ores, which can be used for various military purposes. Because the refining of uranium ore is too difficult!
A few years later, the mineralogist died in the concentration camp of the Russians, and when cleaning up his belongings, the concentration camp found a memoir written in Arabic, recorded in the diary, which faintly mentioned that there is a black crystal that will release great energy after absorbing sunlight, which is different from uranium mines, and the camp officials handed over the diary to the Internal Affairs Committee, which quickly sent agents to stop the remains and various belongings of the cremated mineralogist's body and various belongings. After some struggle, he figured out the mineralogist's real name and the location of his house in his old home in France.
After negotiations with the French post-war government, the Internal Affairs Committee sent disguised agents to escort the remains of the mineralogist back to his hometown in France for cremation, and the ashes were buried near his hometown.
Decades have passed, a high-level official of the CCCP defected to Western countries, and brought out the seemingly ordinary diary, Parker Labs, which has a great background, bought all the first-hand information that this official knew, including the diary, Parker Labs' activities are very energetic, and it took a few years to figure out that the birthplace of energy crystals was in West Africa, but the power of the African CCP at that time was unprecedentedly huge, and even the Yankees could not compete.
Time dragged on and on, and in the blink of an eye in 2014, the opportunity seemed to have finally come, the Malian civil war, many defeated rebels were wandering around, and Pike Labs contacted several rebels, one side contributed money and several parties, and then decided to occupy the checkpoint and dig gold and diamonds as a cover to find energy crystals.
