Chapter 111: Meteorite
When Li Zhen went out, it was more than six o'clock in the morning, and when he came back, it was already seven o'clock. Like a few days ago, the small kitchen inside the General's Mansion prepared breakfast for him - in fact, this was also Xiao Heng's welfare in the past. Although it is a new era, he does not mind a little specialization in this kind of thing. What's more, breakfast is also very simple, just ordinary food.
Pang Feihong also moved in from his previous residence, and when Li Zhen walked into the small cafeteria, he saw him sitting at the table with a bowl.
So he took a slight step to the left and let Bai Xiaodang who was behind him come.
Pang Feihong turned his head and stood up, wanting to greet Li Zhen. But when he saw Bai Xiaodang, he was stunned and blinked: "Miss Bai? ”
The tone was slightly surprised, but there was no emotion of panic or defensiveness. He confirmed her - so Li Zhen finally really breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Bai Xiaodang's reaction was to show a puzzled smile on his face, and responded politely: "Well-hello." ”
Li Zhen looked at Pang Feihong and found that he had a happy and slightly restrained look on his face: "Hmm...... Miss Bai, I'm Pang Feihong. ”
Seeing that the other party was still a little unclear, he continued to add: "I work under Boss Yu, and I have long admired your name. ”
At this time, Bai Xiaodang showed a sudden smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to Pang Feihong, like a strong woman with a strong aura: "Sorry, I didn't remember it just now." Then you're the informant here—hard work. ”
Li Zhen watched the brief conversation between the two on the side, and subconsciously looked at Bai Xiaodang again.
South Luzon ...... It does seem to be a magical place.
Twenty-five-year-old Zhang Kesong became president. Wang Yuanwei, who is younger than himself, has become the chief scientist, Teng Anhui, who was not reused by the secret service in the past, has become the prime minister, Yu Ziqing, who is a ruffian in his impression, has become the big boss of the smuggling company, and Bai Xiaodang, a killer who used to be fast, now seems to have a very high status.
- She obviously didn't know Pang Feihong, and it wasn't until she mentioned Yu Ziqing that she suddenly realized, and her current posture looked more like a cordial condolences to her subordinates on the shelf, and Pang Feihong didn't even feel unhappy.
It seems that this woman ...... is also the same level of "big guys" as the ones mentioned earlier.
Such a small place is controlled by such a group of young people. And as it stands. These young people are doing quite well, no worse than any country with a long history and sound institutions.
He subconsciously thought of the Empire—the Empire of the past. A country that looks powerful and majestic is ruled by a bunch of dying old people—not because of their age, but because of something in their heads. It was those things that brought the empire to its knees. And it becomes more and more undesirable.
Such two regimes are now in stark contrast. One side is barely breathing. The other side is thriving. Li Zhen sighed slightly in his heart—because he suddenly had some extremely strong urge to go there and have a look.
So he smiled and pointed to the dining table: "Sit." Fei Hong is now my special assistant - there are many things I don't know yet. Thanks to him, he helped me with it. ”
Pang Feihong smiled, and his slightly cramped mood was slightly relieved by this sentence, but it did not completely fade. Li Zhen frowned almost imperceptibly, and immediately relaxed. He knew what the Dao was for—Pang Feihong's eyes, that kind of awkward look......
Scold...... This guy seems to have a good impression of Bai Xiaodang.
However, it is also a matter of course. In such a place, a woman like Bai Xiaodang, who looks beautiful and intellectual, but also has strong force, will naturally become the dream lover of many men. According to Pang Feihong, his wife did die three years ago.
It's just that it seems that this kind of favor is just hidden in the bottom of my heart. probably feels that there is a huge difference in age and status, and he is only in a state of "unrequited love".
It's interesting. Li Zhenwei smiled and didn't think about it anymore.
Conversation at the dinner table has always been a habit in Chinese, even if it is just a simple breakfast. Except for Pang Feihong, both of them only eat a little symbolically, so they have more time to communicate.
So Li Zhen probably figured out what Bai Xiaodang's status is now in Southern Luzon.
It was somewhat similar to his previous position, except not at the same level.
She is the head of a secret intelligence department in South Luzon, and her full name is Special Affairs Division 2, referred to as Special Affairs Division 2. Just by listening to the name, you can know what Lu Dao is going to do, but she fully plays her strengths.
This kind of department will probably know some things that ordinary people don't know, so Li Zhen felt that she should be able to provide some clues to the previous doubt in her heart.
After a little thought, he said, "Miss Bai, there is something I want to get some news from you. ”
Bai Xiaodang put down the chopsticks in his hand, changed his attitude of being close in the backyard, and sat down dignifiedly: "You say." ”
Li Zhen glanced at Pang Feihong and smiled slightly in his heart: "It's about that one." Do you know how he came back? ”
"I had a fight with him when I was on the moon, and I attacked him. According to the situation at that time, there was absolutely no chance of him surviving......" Li Zhen continued to tell the details of what happened that day, without missing a single detail. It was the first time he had said these things without reservation since his return to Earth, and the faces of the two listeners gradually turned into disbelief and finally deep admiration.
But what Li Zhen wanted was not just this effect, he wanted these two to help him refine his conjecture - under the circumstances at that time, in such a space, how could that one escape?
After he finished speaking, the two of them were silent for a long time. Then Bai Xiaodang hesitated and spoke: "When you say this, I think of one thing. ”
"It was in the fall of 2015 when we observed a meteor." She frowned slightly, and gently propped her cheek with her fingers, "The reason why I am impressed is because that meteor is strange and the damage caused is quite large. ”
"Feihong should have heard that 15 years ago, a meteorite hit New Zealand, a small island with an area of more than 30,000 square kilometers almost sank, and it also caused a strong earthquake, which was felt along the coast of the empire."
Pang Feihong clapped his hands: "Yes, yes, there is such a thing." But I couldn't see it on the Empire side, I could see it on the Luzon side, and I happened to be in the Empire at the time. ”
Bai Xiaodang nodded: "Hmm." It was a cloudy day, and just after the sun had set in the evening, the entire southern sky was burned red. Before we could figure out what was going on, we saw a meteor heading south—General, have you ever seen a meteor? ”
Li Zhen nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"Then you must have never seen a meteor that fast." Bai Xiaodang let out a slight breath, "In front of my eyes, there was a flash, and the light left by the tail flame was stretched into a whole white line in the sky, and it took me a few seconds to regain my vision." If the meteors we usually see are captured and dropped by the Earth's gravity, then the one is more like someone shooting at the Earth in space. ”
With such a description, Li Zhen can roughly imagine the scene at that time. In other words......
"You think that's him?" Li Zhen said in a deep voice.
"Now it's certain." Bai Xiaodang let out a sigh of relief, and his eyes became a little complicated when he looked at Li Zhen, "At that time, the isolation zone had already descended, and the island that was hit by the meteorite was isolated, and it was only a year later that we boarded it up and went on a field trip. Because in the autumn of 15 years...... By then, more than a month after you lost contact with the ground, almost everyone thought that the meteorite was not a natural object, but probably your moon landing spacecraft. ”
"Because it looks big."
Li Zhen nodded slightly. Bai Xiaodang continued: "We originally guessed like that, but when we arrived on that island, many people were almost sure. ”
Li Zhen looked at her: "What do you say?" ”
Bai Xiaodang glanced at Pang Feihong: "The following are originally confidential. But to the general, of course, there is no such limit. As for Phenom—"
Pang Feihong was stunned and moved his body. But I heard Bai Xiaodang continue: "As for Feihong, since he is now your special assistant, it doesn't matter. ”
"Because a lot of metal was found in the impact crater at that time. Not the kind of metal found in ordinary meteorites, but artificially forged metal. Bai Xiaodang whispered while reminiscing, "At this point, many people are almost certain that this is the wreckage of the moon landing spacecraft, and when we see a fairly well-preserved component, this impression is almost even more certain." Because that thing is a metal part on the top of the pressure reducing valve, the outline is quite clear. It's something that only humans can make. ”
"So......" Bai Xiaodang sighed and spread his hands, "Many people will think that your lunar spacecraft has encountered an accident and all three of them have died in their duties." The thing had almost completely evaporated when it flew at high speed in the atmosphere, and with a single impact, there was not much left. We didn't even find any organics. ”
"Originally, the president thought you wouldn't die, and I believe you wouldn't. But after so many years of waiting, many people no longer cling to their old ideas. After all, if you did escape from there at that time, you should have appeared a long time ago. ”
Li Zhen nodded: "I understand." But – just how big is that thing? How much was left when you got there? ”
"The crater is more than 300 meters in diameter and 16 meters deep." Bai Xiaodang said, "According to estimates, the diameter of that thing should be about three meters when it reaches the ground. And before entering the atmosphere, the diameter may have reached more than thirty meters. ”
