Rodriguez could obviously detect the estrangement in Zhao Lan's words, but Rodriguez seemed to have expected this a long time ago, so he didn't react to it.

Zhao Lan's life is step-by-step, after spending a warm and happy childhood, Zhao Lan entered the school to receive education, obtained a doctorate degree and came out to work, and has been living a peaceful life until now. Zhao Lan believes that things like the so-called underground forces should not appear in his life. If it weren't for the special circumstances this time, Zhao Lan would definitely not have any intersection with these things.

"Okay, Miss Zhao Lan, please come with me." Rodriguez stood up, and Zhao Lan followed him out of the breakfast room.

After walking for a while, after leaving the area of Watson Plaza, the two got into a flying car together, and the car took them to the underground station and left.

With the development of technology, long-distance and bulk transportation is no longer the use of the old rail transportation. The latest developments are maglev trains and fully enclosed vacuum track technology. People have built underground transportation tracks that extend in all directions, these tracks are fully enclosed and pumped into a vacuum to avoid the existence of air resistance, and maglev trains avoid the existence of friction, so the speed of this kind of train is extremely terrifying, even faster than the speed of airplanes hundreds of years ago. Zhao Lan once read a report that said that the fastest maglev train on the earth has reached a speed of 4,500 kilometers per hour, which is almost four times the speed of sound. However, the train that Zhao Lan and Rodriguez were taking at the moment was not so fast. Zhao Lan saw from the sign at the entrance of the underground station that the average speed of this train was about 2,800 kilometers per hour, a little more than twice the speed of sound.

Rodriguez took Zhao Lan on this train for about an hour or so, and then got off in another city. There was already a flying car waiting for the two of them, so the two changed trains again, and left the city in this flying instrument, and began to set off towards the mountain stretch on the edge of the city.

High-rise buildings, the bustling scene of traffic is gradually left behind, the scenery is beautiful, and the facilities are perfect. The crowded scenic spot was also left behind. It is a large mountain, and apart from the fact that some places on the outside have been developed into scenic areas, its interior still maintains a rare desolation and the beauty of nature.

"Could it be that Li Yunfan's base is built here?" Zhao Lan thought secretly, "Even if the scientific and technological strength of human beings is much greater than before. But building a base in the mountains is still expensive...... Is this Li Yunfan's power really so huge? ”

Rodriguez and the driver of the flying car did not speak all the way, and Zhao Lan remained silent. Looking at the undulating mountains and verdant green under the vehicle, Zhao Lan's mood also calmed down unconsciously.

After flying for a while, the flying car suddenly began to lower in altitude, and finally became slightly low in one place. Stop in front of a hill that stands out from the surrounding peaks. After a moment of levitation in the air, a flat ground overgrown with weeds and trees suddenly rose straight up, revealing a dark and deep passage below. Without hesitation, the flying car flew through the passage, and the perfectly camouflaged flat ground descended again, reintegrating with its surroundings as if nothing had happened here.

The car flew through the dark passage for a while before coming to what appeared to be a parking lot. The driver parked the car there, and Rodriguez got out of the car, and at the same time opened the door next to Zhao Lan in the back seat, and then made a gesture of please.

"This is it." "We hollowed out part of the interior of the mountain and gave it special reinforcements. And then built our base inside it. Our base covers a total area of about one square kilometer and has more than 300 staff working here. ”

Rodriguez led Zhao Lan to the highest point of the base in the elevator. Standing on the stands, Zhao Lan held on to the railing with his hands, squinting his eyes and looking at all this in front of him.

Just like Rodriguez said, what appeared in front of Zhao Lan was a closed space that was about more than 1,000 meters long, hundreds of meters wide, and dozens of meters high. The space was brightly lit, filled with huge buildings and unnamed machines, with white-uniformed staff and robots of all shapes moving around the base, and an endless array of gauges and lights flashing.

Although I have been mentally prepared for a long time. But Zhao Lan still felt extremely shocked here. The power of human beings and technology was displayed in front of Zhao Lan in such an intuitive way.

"The government doesn't know about this place, everything here, including the initial construction of the base, the installation of equipment. the allocation of personnel, the supply of materials...... It's all secret, right? Zhao Lan asked in a low voice to Rodriguez, who was standing next to him.

"Yes, everything is secret here. Only the staff inside the base, as well as those who have obtained the boss's A-level authorization, are allowed to enter here, and only these people are aware of the existence of the base. Rodriguez replied. There was a pride in his voice that could not be concealed.

"But how did you build this base under the watchful eye of the government?" Zhao Lan stroked his forehead a little weakly, "Okay, I know you have strong organizational and concealment skills...... I'll just ask one question, how did you hollow out this mountain in the first place? Where are you piling up the rock waste behind the hollowing out of the mountain? That's at least tens of millions of tons of rock...... There are government satellites in the sky all the time, and no matter where you pile up tens of millions of tons of rock waste, it is absolutely impossible to escape the government's surveillance......"

"The rock waste is in this base." Rodriguez said mysteriously, "The equipment in the base was transported from the outside world through the underground passages, including the tens of millions of tons of dirt and rocks brought from the excavation of the underground passages. ”

"But where are they?" Zhao Lanman asked puzzledly, "If the two are combined, their mass should be calculated in at least 100 million tons, and 100 million tons of rock ...... I'm afraid that there are nearly 20 million cubic meters of volume, why can't I see their shadows in the base? ”

"Haha." At this time, Rodriguez let out a hearty laugh: "Miss Zhao Lan, in fact, not only the rock waste from the construction of the base and the excavation of the underground passage, but also the waste generated by the daily life of our staff here and the scientific research has never been transported out of the base. Frankly, this is a base that only goes in and can't get out, and the supplies we need are brought in from the outside through the underground tunnels, and the supplies we discard are piled up in the base and never transported to the outside world. As for where exactly they are...... I'm sorry, Miss Zhao Lan, this is under the category of S-class secrets of our base, and your current authority is not enough, so I can't tell you these secrets for the time being. ”

Zhao Lan patted his head and temporarily threw out these doubts in his heart. After Rodriguez said those words, Zhao Lan had already made a rough guess in his heart, but this guess was too amazing and shocking, and it didn't even dare Zhao Lan to think carefully about the possibility of this guess.

One of the most prominent impressions left by this base on Zhao Lan was shock. After seeing this base, Zhao Lan's suspicion of Li Yunfan in his heart had been reduced to the minimum. Zhao Lan couldn't imagine how high Li Yunfan's wisdom and superior ability was, Zhao Lan even wondered if Li Yunfan was an alien, or a person who traveled from the future to the present, otherwise, why would Li Yunfan have such ability, can have the identity of so many leaders in different industries, and can build such a huge base in this mountain peak under the strict monitoring of the human civilization government?

And the most incredible thing is...... Such an outstanding person actually tried his best to steal an ordinary small spaceship of his own, and then inexplicably intersected with himself. Zhao Lan never knew what all this was, and Li Yunfan seemed to be secretive about it, and he had been unwilling to tell himself the truth of these things.

Shaking his head, shaking off the doubts in his mind and the shock of what he had seen and heard, Zhao Lan decided to do his own thing first. Zhao Lan has never forgotten his identity, he is a scientist, and his deeper identity than a scientist is a human being. And since he is a member of the human race, he naturally has the obligation to deal with this disaster when facing a great disaster that may come.

Zhao Lan wanted to find evidence in this base that could confirm what Li Yunfan said. If the "strange space" that Li Yunfan once existed in the solar system really exists, and Li Yunfan has really studied it, then those research materials are likely to reveal the truth about the abnormal disappearance of the stars. And after understanding the truth of all this, Zhao Lan, or human civilization, can find a way to deal with this disaster.

"Rodriguez...... Please give me all the research materials on your base for the strange space that once existed in the solar system. Zhao Lan said in a low voice, "I should have this permission." (To be continued.) )
