The Y-40 slowly lowered the landing gear, supporting the heavy fuselage and landing lightly on the ground.

"Emmm, are you sure this is the destination?" Yang Jingzhong looked at the endless plains and deserts around him, and the scorching sand blew on his face, cutting like a knife.

"What? Disappointed? Could it be that you still want to have thousands of beautiful girls lined up to welcome you? Zhang Shucai then walked out of the cabin door, holding a compass-like instrument in his hand, "Follow me, I have found my destination." “

Zhang Shucai walked to a small hillside, wiped the sand from the ground, and a camera that was out of place with his surroundings appeared in front of him.

"Scan confirmed, identity: Zhang Shucai."

As soon as the sweet female voice finished speaking, the sand on the ground suddenly parted to both sides, and an elevator the size of a telephone booth came out of the ground.

"Yang Jingzhong comes with me, Agent Thompson, you stay and take care of the transport plane."

"You're so relieved that one person will take care of our country's most advanced research results? You're not afraid that he'll take the opportunity to steal technology. When the elevator door closed, Yang Jingzhong expressed his worries.

"Rest assured, in the past, it was based on the fact that there was no external enemy, and there were no fears of genocide, so they fought each other to accelerate the progress of civilization. Now that an alien civilization has been discovered, I don't know what the other party's attitude is. If they are determined to exterminate us, then even if we have no chance of winning, humanity will unite and fight with them. Even if they are friendly to us, humanity needs to unite to form a unified federation for diplomacy. Zhang Shucai looked at Yang Jingzhong meaningfully, "So, do you think our top management will stick to their own science and technology and give up on joining forces at this critical time?" If not, why not take this opportunity to demonstrate our country's most powerful technology as a way to deter other countries and gain more power after the union? (Having said so much, it turns out that putting Thompson to guard the transport plane is the meaning of the above)

The elevator ran for more than five minutes before it finally stopped. The rough model estimates that the current location is at least two kilometers above the ground.

"This place is one of the most secret meeting points in the world, costing 500 billion dollars and taking 10 years to build, usually only the five founding member states know about and have the right to use it, but because of what happened in Centauri, the DR two countries also got the right to use it. I guess you'll be able to meet their leaders today, too. Before getting out of the elevator, Zhang Shucai whispered into Yang Jingzhong's ear, which was a general introduction to the origin and purpose of the base in front of him.

"Hey, Director Zhang, hahaha, let's meet again!" As soon as the elevator door opened, a white-haired white old man spoke fluent Chinese and came over to give Zhang Shucai a big hug, "Long time no see, old friend, how are you doing lately?" “

"Ah, Director Coulson, long time no see, long time no see, I've been doing well lately, what about you? Can my granddaughter get married? Director Zhang also laughed and hugged the old white man tightly.

"Hahaha, you guy, I think about my granddaughter every day, and when the current thing is done, you can go and talk to her yourself. I am an old man who can't meddle in the affairs of your young people. “

"Haha, okay, when the matter is done, I will definitely visit me in person, don't give me a closed door when the time comes."

The two old men were not ashamed to joke with each other, and they didn't notice that there was Yang Jingzhong standing next to them.

"Oh yes, Yang Jingzhong, let me introduce you, this is Coulson, the director of the FBI in Country M! Coulson, this is ......" (Oh ~ FBI director. Wait, FBI director? Director Zhang, are you sure you're not kidding me? You, the top leader of a state secrets department, are so close to the enemy leader that I really don't believe you have done anything behind your back. ）

"I know, this is Mr. Yang Jingzhong, I've had a lot of meetings around you in the past week, and now I can see a real person." Coulson didn't put on a show, and shook Yang Jingzhong's hand very casually.

"Director Coulson, how are the leaders talking now, and whether they should take the initiative to send a contact message?"

"The jury is still out, the question now is whether the starship still exists, and to whom exactly the message they sent to the solar system. It's nerve-wracking. Coulson sighed, "Mr. Yang, you go to the third room on the left first, and I'm waiting for you." Director Zhang, let's go to the bar, last night I lost a drink competition with the head of the Federal Security Service of Country E Shabakoev, and I was in a bad mood, so let's try to compete today. “

"Okay, let you know today that you drink the lowest amount of alcohol of the three. Yang Jingzhong, you go by yourself, I don't care about you. “

Yang Jingzhong was stunned as he watched the two of them disappear around the corner shoulder to shoulder, who would have thought that these two people were actually one of the few people who held the world's top secrets.

"That's it, they've all been abducted here anyway, so it's better to meet a few of the most powerful bigwigs in the world." Yang Jingzhong took a few deep breaths and knocked on the door of the conference room.

"Please come in." A word of Chinese came from behind the door, and listening to his voice, it could be inferred that he was very tired.

Yang Jingzhong opened the door, and his brain suddenly felt a little dizzy, and the white smoke immediately surrounded him, choking him with tears.

The meeting room is very small, probably the size of a medium room in a regular hotel. Several old men with deep dark circles under their eyes and tired faces sat around the table, and the ashtrays had already piled up with soot. It was evident that the meeting had been going on for quite some time, and that again, no one had been allowed in to disturb them. Yang Jingzhong's arrival seemed to add fresh blood to this room, and restored a trace of vitality to the eyes of several old people. (Look at these guys, that's what it's supposed to look like, do your best.) Look at the two outside, what the hell is it, you know to go to the bar to drink. And you, Shabakoev, don't think that I won't scold you if you're not there, you and those two guys are the same thing. ）

"Report, Yang Jingzhong is here to report!"

"You're here, young man. How's that, did you eat lunch? After leaving his seat, he wiped his hands with a napkin before shaking Yang Jingzhong cordially.

"Ate it on the plane."

"That's good, these days, we old guys have been meeting every day and discussing you every day. Later, I decided to bring you in person to talk to you face-to-face. If there is any offense to your place during this process, I hope you will forgive me. Motioned to the security personnel to bring a seat over and pulled Yang Jingzhong to sit down, "Xiao Zhang should show you everything you should see on the plane, I will ask you a few questions about the current information now." First, have you encountered anything strange recently, have strangers approached you? “

"No, my life has been the same as usual these days."

"Okay, second question, have you ever done anything weird before, like sending a message into space or something?"

"Absolutely not." (What is the point, with my physics score, even if I want to send information to the outside world, I don't have the corresponding basic knowledge of physics required to make radio equipment.)

"Well, one last question," after a pause, "can you prove that your memory has not been tampered with?" “

Yang Jingzhong's head seemed to have been struck by lightning, looking at the sharp gaze, he wanted to say no, but there was no way to prove that the current memory was not tampered with, unless......

"Well, it looks like we need to do a little experiment on you, it might hurt a little, but for now, I hope you can understand, after all, this is the only way for us to explore the roots."

Seeing that the others all nodded, Yang Jingzhong chuckled in his heart, and sure enough, the most worrying thing still came.

"Guard!" "Classmate Yang, I'm offended."

"No," Yang Jingzhong stopped the soldier's preparations for the use of force, "I am willing to use the memory search engine." Just lead the way. “

The soldier put the hood on his head, walked about 200 meters, turned the direction several times, and the hood was removed.

In the center of the room, a machine with a faint blue light was placed in the middle of the room, and although Yang Jingzhong had never seen it, he had heard of it, and it was said to make the most trained agents tell the truth. Even if you have forgotten everything that has been forgotten for a long time, this memory search engine allows you to tell everything exactly about it, not to mention a pediatric thing like covering memory. Of course, memory finders have many advantages and fatal disadvantages. Not to mention the severe pain caused in the process of excavating memories, those who are not firm in their will will fall into the whirlpool of memories and will never be able to break free from the ocean of memories again.

A few stood still behind the glass, looking at Yang Jingzhong as if they were watching animals undergoing experiments on viruses. The soldier changed him into a white protective suit, which was considered to reduce the harm caused by radiation as much as possible. He was told to lie down on the machine, his brain went into the machine's ring scanner, and his limbs were firmly fixed by the soldiers, preventing Yang Jingzhong from losing control due to pain.

With everything in place, the soldier gestured to the glass to begin the experiment, and closed the heavy radiation door.

"The memory mining work is about to begin, the countdown to the start of the instrument," the voice of the artificial intelligence echoed through the room, "five, four,"

Beads of sweat flowed down Yang Jingzhong's head, and he began to regret his heroic behavior a little.

"Three, two, one."

Yang Jingzhong swallowed his saliva and was about to accept the severe pain that was coming. Suddenly, it was dark in front of him, and he thought he had fainted, but the chaotic sound from the other side of the glass told him that it was not he who had fainted, but the entire base, and the power was cut off.
