Chapter 262: Alpha Base
Chapter 262 Alpha Base
Alaska, a wasteland in the northwest corner of North America, covers an area of 1.71 million square kilometers and has a population of 650,000, and even in the hottest season of the year, the temperature here does not exceed 26 degrees Celsius.
When the Russians sold Alaska to the Americans for $7.2 million in 1867, they never imagined that there was a staggering amount of oil stored here, more than 1.7 million square kilometers of land, and a price of $7.2 million, which was probably the cheapest land sale in the history of the world, and it was not enough to cover the output of the Arras oil fields in a day.
As Xia Fei's Quantum promotes clean new energy sources around the world, Alaska's oil fields have become less important, and the population has been declining every year.
Alaska is not a suitable area for human habitation in any way, but it is indeed a suitable place for Xia Fei's secret laboratory, after all, Harris's identity is not visible, and Xia Fei does not want to expose the core secrets of the quantum company to the eyes of the world.
Near the Arctic Circle, there is a small two-story building in a snow-white patch, standing alone on a snow-covered continent, with no permanent inhabitants in an area of thousands of square kilometers except for a group of religious believers who worship nature and choose to do penance in the ice and snow.
It doesn't have a name, it has only one codename, Base Alpha.
Xia Fei's Vampire is too ostentatious, there are only a handful of space warships on the earth, and Xia Fei's ship has already been captured by countless news media, and the entire page has been continuously reported.
It is said that the owner of this dark red battleship is the largest shareholder of the mysterious Quantum Company, the richest man in the Earth Federation, and the highest warrior in the Federation, Xia Fei.
Although Quantum Company has always been low-key, but the deeds about Xia Fei are still spread all over the world by good deeds, human beings always have a natural curiosity about unknown things, after countless people's interpretation, Xia Fei has already become a legendary-level monster, even if it is Nezha, who has three heads and six arms, he can't catch up with Xia Fei.
His worshippers believe that he is a being beyond God on earth, and those who hate him believe that he is a demon from hell who should not have appeared in this world at all.
Xia Fei smiled at this, he knew very well that he was no different from Xia Fei who was riding a bicycle to deliver couriers back then, but he was lucky to get an opportunity and seized it.
The Vampire placed Xia Fei in this snowy wasteland, and then automatically navigated to the Earth's orbit, only Xia Fei needed to use the ultra-microcomputer to connect to the Star Network, send out a summon, and the Vampire would arrive within a minute.
The two-storey building is circular and looks not much different from ordinary dwellings, and there is a fence 10 kilometers away that fences off the area, indicating that it is private territory and that it is forbidden for idle people to enter.
Xia Fei walked into it through the snow, leaving a long list of footprints, and there were many Alaskan Malamutes around him looking at Xia Fei vigilantly at the stranger, and some of them would let out a few low whimpers.
The living room is very small, just like the reception room of an ordinary person's house, the layout is warm and simple, a blonde woman dressed as a housewife is sitting on the sofa watching TV, she didn't show too much surprise when she saw Xia Fei, she stepped forward to take Xia Fei's coat, and then carefully removed the snow on Xia Fei's body with a white towel.
"President, please come here." The blonde woman opened the next door and smiled.
Xia Fei nodded at her and walked over, "Wouldn't it be too lonely to work here?" ”
"No, it won't." The blonde woman shook her head and said, "I have satellite TV to watch, and I can play game consoles, but I can't go home and miss my family, but it's all worth it, as long as I work here for three years, the company will transfer me to work at the beach in Miami and enjoy the beach and sun." ”
Xia Fei smiled: "Very good, you know how to pay in return, believe me, you will get everything you want, as long as your mouth is strict enough." ”
The blonde woman smiled: "Please believe me, I used to be in charge of internal security at Siemens, and we Germans pay attention to the rules in everything, and since the rules have been set, we will never break them." ”
Xia Fei didn't say anything, and walked into the room with a smile.
It was a small reception room, with no windows on the four walls, only two rows of sofas, and a few magazines neatly placed on the coffee table.
Xia Fei sat down on the sofa and lit a cigarette, and suddenly, the whole room began to move downward, neither fast nor slow, and only a person with a keen sense could detect all this.
"The quality of the staff here is not bad, and the receptionist just now is very measured." The ghost shadow said very professionally, specially trained people and ordinary people have a completely different performance in dealing with people, Xia Fei just interrogated the details of the blonde woman, and she answered very skillfully, telling the truth without being too straightforward.
Xia Fei nodded, "Yes, it can be seen that Andre has put a lot of thought into this base, but he still can't be sure about it, let's wait until I see all the staff." ”
After a few moments, the door of the room opened again, and Xia Fei was greeted by a black-haired girl with glasses, who looked like she was of Asian descent.
Sure enough, the black-haired woman spoke fluent Beijing dialect as soon as she spoke, which made Xia Fei feel more cordial.
"President, I'm the administrative director of the Alpha base, Gu Fengzhu, Huanying, you come to the base."
Xia Fei stood up and said with a smile: "You're welcome, just call me Xia Fei, I'm here to work, just like you, I don't need to call those official titles." ”
The black-haired woman put on her glasses, "Then I won't be polite to you, I heard Director Andre say that you are also from Beijing?" ”
Xia Fei said: "It's not really, I've been running around since I was a child, I've been to many places, I really can't tell where my hometown is, it's just that I have been in Beijing for a long time, and now it's the interstellar era, we are all earthlings, so we are all fellow villagers." ”
Gu Fengzhu led Xia Fei out, and said, "You are really good at talking, originally I thought you would be an old man about the same age as Director Andre, but I didn't expect you to be so young." ”
Xia Fei smiled slightly: "Yes, I didn't expect the director of the Alpha Base to be so young. ”
Gu Fengzhu led Xia Fei out of a long corridor to a patio, there was no one along the way, it seemed a little empty, and it seemed that the current usage rate of the Alpha base was not high.
"How does Harris work at the base?" Xia Fei asked.
As soon as Gu Fengzhu heard the three words Harris, her face changed slightly, she paused and said cautiously: "Director Harris is impeccable professionally, I don't know how many times stronger than our best research institute, but..."
Gu Fengzhu seemed to have something unspeakable, Xia Fei frowned slightly and said, "Just say something straight." ”
