At the same time that the empire ruled by Mu Yunshang sent the first expeditionary fleet, the FFF Legion.

Far away 2.54 million light-years, in some inconspicuous corner of the Milky Way's Orion Cantilever, on Earth.

In the center of the vast desert area in the western part of the American country, known as the chosen country and the hope for the future of mankind, a lonely reinforced concrete building stands strangely on a barren land.

The height is only one story high, and the area is only the size of a basketball court, but it is surrounded by countless soldiers wearing sunglasses and full of cooking atmosphere.

It's a military base that you won't find on the map.

"What the hell is it to stay where the damn is!"

A white soldier on duty scolded.

He was also flanked by a white soldier, who was on par with him.

"Hey, York, don't complain - know I'm on vacation! Take a vacation! I was supposed to scare the girl in Hawaii, but I ended up smashing the sand here!? ”

"You two are fine, you can swing around a little bit, but why am I so assigned to this fucking place every time I'm on duty and can't go anywhere with this damn machine gun!?"

Not far away, a machine gunner standing on a watchtower was lying on the guardrail with his hands on the guardrail, grumbling with a cigar in his mouth.

"Because you're the same thing as that thing, you both belong to—trolls!" The kind that comes out by mouth! ””

Heavy: ".................. Shut up, you two idiots! ”

That's when —

The one-story building, which had been guarded by these soldiers and had not moved, suddenly opened a passage at the top.

It turns out that this building only looks ordinary on the outside, and the interior has already been transformed by all kinds of crazy transformations!

In the open passageway, what appeared to be a high-powered antenna of steel slowly rose until its top was almost a hundred meters above the ground.

"Oh! My God! What the hell is this! ”

"Looks like an antenna?"

"What did those guys who have been hiding underground all day long come up with?"

Although it was the first time they had seen this huge steel structure, the soldiers on duty were not too surprised.

- Staying in such a hellish place, it won't be a few days before you can see the scientists hiding underground come up with some strange and ghostly things, and these cooking soldiers have long been used to it.

At the same time, underground.

"How's it going? Is there a response!? ”

An old man with gray hair, glasses, and a white lab coat looked cautiously at his assistants sitting in front of a row of computers.

"The signal input is normal!"

"Feedback is normal!"

"The signal amplification component is normal!"

"The receiver is normal!"

"Everything is ready!"

Hearing the results reported by the assistants in turn, the old man in charge of this experiment breathed a sigh of relief.

He has been working on this project – Project Bald Eagle – for decades.

At the end of the sixties, the United States finally got the first place to get to the moon before their enemies in the East.

Unlike the information that ordinary people see and receive, the astronauts who landed on the moon are actually tasked with a mission that ranks among the top secrets of the United States.

On the moon, the astronauts who landed on the moon saw the most shocking scene of their lives.

A giant steel monster.

It seemed to be the wreckage of some massive space structure, maybe a battleship, maybe a space station, no one knew about it.

But the wreckage alone is far larger than the 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the steel machine that represents the highest power of the United States today.

Sadly, however, in the midst of that massive wreckage, the astronauts found that the entire steel monster seemed to have been completely scrapped.

Eventually, they brought back a strange suitcase-sized piece of equipment.

As for the rest, God testifies, the United States, though the hope of mankind, could not have brought back something of this magnitude from the moon without attracting the attention of others.

Thankfully, the point of impact of the steel debris on the moon was on the far side of the moon, which has always been difficult to be observed by humans because of the moon's own autobiography and orbit around the earth - which gave the United States a great opportunity.

It was also from that time that the United States accelerated her plan to bring down her enemies in the east, and through various means, she finally succeeded in getting the red giant to disintegrate and fail to send her own people to the moon.

It's just that things can't be hidden for a lifetime after all, and the secret of the far side of the moon has been discovered by other countries.

Although it did not have the strength to send people to it, it was barely possible to send some unmanned equipment - so mankind finally started a large-scale lunar exploration activity.

Of course, the external reason for this "to explore the mysteries of the universe" is that countries that know the inside story are all used to fool ordinary people.

And the United States, in addition to announcing that it would no longer send people to the moon, while quietly sending people up, began to spend huge manpower and material resources on what was brought down from the moon.

That suitcase-sized piece of machinery.

The Bald Eagle Project came into being.

After decades, the scientists in charge of the project have finally figured out what this strange mechanical device is for.

It appears to be a liaison between civilizations located somewhere in the universe.

As for the contact person, it is speculated that there is almost a 10% chance that it is the civilization that built the huge space structure.

Now, it's all about to come to fruition.

Essex, the top scientist in charge of the Bald Eagle Project, had a relieved smile on his old face.

It's just that deep down he always carries fear.

There is no doubt that the civilization they are about to contact has a level of technology far beyond that of humans.

It is not known what kind of civilization the other party is, and what kind of attitude it has towards the weak civilization of mankind, which has not really escaped the shackles of gravity.

(God bless America!) ）

While Essex was praying silently in his heart, he heard a report from his assistants.

Everything is ready to send a contact signal.

With the help of the giant signaling tower, they can send signals to mysterious subjects through that communication device.

Essex wonders whether this is right or wrong, whether humanity is about to face a technological explosion or a relentless invasion of extraterrestrial life.

What drives him to give the order to make contact is the endless desire to explore the unknown (mythical beast) in the scientist's heart.

"Send a signal! May God bless us! ”
