Chapter 33 IEA (Interstellar Exploration Alliance) Pacific Base

The Pacific Ocean, the largest ocean on Earth, covers about 46% of the Earth's water surface and about 32.5% of its total area.

Nearly five hours have passed since Yuan Haochen and the man in black left Beijing by helicopter.

Looking down from the helicopter, there is an endless ocean.

The water of the Pacific Ocean is a pure blue, compared to the color of jadeite is too light, and the color of sapphire is too dark.

At this moment, the ocean is calm, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, like a piece of jasper. Occasionally, the sea breeze passes by, and it is a sparkling wave.

In the face of such a vast ocean, Yuan Haochen felt that even his mind had become broader, and his mood was unconsciously soothed.

Kokolas Island, an unknown uninhabited island, is a lonely island in a corner of the Pacific Ocean.

It is a small, roughly rectangular island about 7,500 kilometers off the coast of South China and covers an area of about 160 square kilometers.

The island is surrounded by white sand, swaying green trees, and surrounded by blue sky and blue sea on all sides.

The island is also home to a handful of wildlife, and although there is plenty of available freshwater resources, humans have never settled here due to the inaccessibility of the island.

If you look from the air, you can see a large sandy clearing in the center of the island.

The clearing is surrounded by dense woods, and the few open-air buildings loom in the woods.

In a puff of dust, the helicopter finally landed on a rudimentary tarmac on the outer edge of Kokolas Island.

"Chinese lad, we have arrived, and you are welcome on Kokolas Island." The man in black jumped out of the plane first and said.

"Kokolas Island, is the IEA hidden on this uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean?" Yuan Haochen asked with interest.

"To be exact, this is just the IEA's Pacific base."

"So, the IEA has hidden bases elsewhere as well?" Yuan Haochen became more and more curious.

"Of course, the IEA has a total of 3 bases on Earth, which you will learn about slowly in the future." The man in black replied, "I'll take you to the base to report now." ”

As he spoke, a handsome SUV was already driving towards the two of them, and after a while, it stopped in front of them.

"Get in the car." The man in black opened the car door and turned his head to signal.

Ten minutes later, through a wooded field, the SUV stopped in front of several very plain-looking stone houses.

The walls of the stone house are covered with moss, and it looks quite old.

"It seems that the IEA has been hiding on Kokolas Island for a long time." Yuan Haochen guessed in his heart.

The man in black had already walked in front, stopped in front of the door of a stone house, and then pushed the door in without thinking, and Yuan Haochen hurriedly followed.

The stone house was empty, and on the wall to the left of the door was a dark black iron door two meters high and nearly four meters wide.

At first glance, the iron door is full of the smell of old metal, and a sense of déjà vu of the factory floor door in the eighties of the last century comes to the face.

Yuan Haochen was puzzled, and the man in black was already standing in front of the iron gate.

He stretched out his right hand and pressed it against the wall on the right side of the iron door. Upon closer inspection, I found a dark black glass panel embedded there.

A burst of red light was cast from the glass panel. It lasted for about five seconds, and the dark black iron door in front of the man in black suddenly made a buzzing sound, and then quickly rose upward, and a passage that slowly extended downward appeared behind the iron door.

"Underground base!" Yuan Haochen looked surprised. "Keep up, Chinese lad." The man in black walked into the passage without looking back.

The iron door was a stark dividing line, and before it was opened, Yuan Haochen couldn't imagine such a scene behind the door.

Different from the old stone houses, the passage behind the iron gate is transparently lit, and the four walls are made of aluminum and titanium alloy, exuding a strong modern atmosphere.

The floor is smooth as a mirror, and the two narrow rows of silver LED strips overhead can be clearly reflected.

The passage was about 50 meters long, and after a while, the two reached the end of the passage.

Another metal door, but this one was very different from the one in the stone house, made of alloy with a matte surface, which looked strong and thick.

The man in black pressed his right hand against the metal door's dashboard again, and at the same time raised his head and looked directly at a surveillance camera in the upper left corner of the door.

With a "buzz", the metal door smoothly disappeared to both sides of the wall.

Before the door was fully opened, a rather charming voice was heard.

"Hi, Smith (first to the famous black actor Will Smith). Smith salutes), you're finally back. ”

The one who spoke was a blonde woman, about 30 years old, with large, bright eyes, long eyelashes, and a fair complexion.

"Hello. Catherine, don't I have a mission? The man in black replied.

Of course, all they said was English, but language has never been an obstacle for Yuan Haochen.

"Is he the new guy who came to report?" Catherine stared at Yuan Chenchen with great interest.

"That's right, then, I'll give him to you." Smith continued, "I have other tasks to do. ”

Immediately, Smith turned around, patted Yuan Haochen on the shoulder and said, "Chinese boy, I'm optimistic about you, come on!" ”

With that, Smith immediately turned around and strode towards the interior of the base.

"Hey, Smith, thank you." Yuan Haochen shouted to Smith, who had not gone far, "Also, your Chinese is great!" “

"There is no language barrier in the IEA organization, and your English is good, Chinese boy."

Smith stopped, but didn't turn around, just tilted his head in reply.

When Smith disappeared at the end of the corridor, Catherine's voice sounded again beside Yuan Chen.

"How about it, Chinese boy, I'll take you to report."

"Okay, thank you, Catherine. My name is Yuan Chen, and it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

"Hara Chen, oh, that's a great name."
