Chapter 45. The turn of fate

Previous Chapter

At the same time, the Himalayas on Earth are still busy as usual, and the entire mountain is like a funnel through which materials are constantly being poured into space.

At the peak of the mountain, 100 meters underground, the underground nuclear weapons equipment, except for the world government occupies a sphere, the other spheres are the seat of other functional organs of the world government today. It's like the center of geoengineering occupies a flat building in one of the spheres, the whole building is a glass structure, the whole skeleton is made of metal, from the outside it looks like a trapezoidal building without a spire pyramid, the hall on the first floor of the building is basically covered with desks, the entire hall on the first floor is about 10 meters high, and the air is hung like concentric circles, and the layers of screens are playing the construction of various projects. Entering the hall, except for the flickering engineering images overhead, the entire space was filled with the sound of brushing, as if countless cat's claws were gently scratching the walls. You can see that in the hall, there is an electronic drawing board that occupies half of the desktop on each desk, and the engineers in blue uniforms have a blue globe on their arms, but this globe is wearing a hard hat, indicating the identity of the engineers in the engineering center, and most of the engineers in the hall on the first floor have only a star on their armbands. While looking at the screen in front of them, they held the black pen in their hands and gently traced on the electronic drawing board, and from time to time used their palms to erase the mistakes on the drawing board. Countless robots walked back and forth around the desk, with a rectangular appearance standing upright, with a desktop-like thing on top of their heads, and their feet running on two wide plastic tracks. There are still two arms on either side. Thick drawings are placed above their heads and distributed to the engineers who make the requests.

The furnishings and arrangements of the upper floors are similar, and in the space near the top floor, if someone enters now, they will find themselves suddenly in the giant's space, the entire floor is not supported by any columns, the floor height is more than 30 meters, and there is an elevator at the back that connects the top floor separately from the plaza on the first floor. The space is filled with countless circular metal platforms, each of which is placed with a variety of new construction machinery since the Age of Mirrors, and the screen next to it is a detailed description of the functions of the engineering equipment you see.

"Vertical shield machine", "space leveling machine" and other equipment show the rapid development of surface engineering equipment for the construction of underground nuclear weapons equipment in the mirror era.

There is a rectangular office area hanging at the top of the space on this floor, and you can see that the engineers in it are obviously older than the people downstairs, and you can see that most of the armbands have a four-star level, and some people even have the highest level of engineer title, five-star engineer. In the center of this square office is an independent office, and the walls of the entire office are playing the scene of the green forest, and on the desk in the middle can be seen a virtual helmet exactly the same as Councillor Pulis, and a pair of eyes like beer bottles, and on the office chair behind the desk, Chief Engineer Pei, who has just exited the parliamentary virtual space, is rubbing his eyes, but his distressed expression can be seen.

The moon underground base mentioned by Lieutenant General Thunder just now reminded me of my youngest daughter "Belin" in London, and she had stopped her dream of becoming a pilot countless times, but she still insisted that she had to go. Soon Belén will be 18 years old, and the assessment from the earth to the moon base is getting closer and closer, in the case of no way to stop it, only to follow her daughter's wishes, but the future safety of her daughter has always been a knot lingering in the center of I.M. Pei, since his daughter was a child, he has always wanted to protect her safety as much as possible, but I didn't expect them to come, after the mirror era, his two sons and wife have been assigned to suitable positions, and they have been away from themselves for 9 years, and there is only that limited time of family leave every year. You can see your wife and son. Originally, he was able to arrange his daughter to the school around him as much as possible through his own relationship, but his daughter was found to have shown a strong talent for warriors, and after his good baby knew that he was a warrior, he shouted every day that he wanted to fight aliens, and then he couldn't resist his daughter's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so she still let her go to the soldier school. The selection for the Space Force is about to be 18 years old, and if her daughter succeeds, she will be even further away from herself. Thinking of this, this man, who seemed to be quite energetic in his own right, instantly seemed to be drained of his life and slumped on the office chair, how he hoped that his daughter would not pass the selection and stay in the defense force on the earth. But he knew best that this was his own child, the child born to him and his beautiful wife, each of them so good.

As for I.M. Pei, although he is a scholar, but for him, the most important thing is his family, for the sake of his family, he would rather give up everything else, but he is only a small person in this era, everything is not up to him to decide, he can only silently hate this era.

The council's proposal allowed him to find a place for his daughter to live a little safely, at least the underground moon base was able to escape most of the blows, and for him, it was like grasping at a life-saving straw, at least feeling able to fulfill a little bit of fatherly responsibility.

Thinking about it, he naturally pressed the watch in his hand and called his daughter's contact number.

On the other side of the globe, on an island in the Atlantic Ocean, the country that was once known as the empire on which the sun never sets a century ago has now been transformed into a world government, the Commonwealth. The London of this area is still the same London, the place where gentlemen and ladies no longer exist, and only the streets and low-rise houses of the past bear witness to the history and splendor of the city. Compared with the mirror century ago, the crowd on the street has disappeared, and most of the people at this time are still in their own fixed jobs, and even busy 100 meters below the ground in this kind of city, in this era, the boundary between nobles and commoners is not so clear, everyone is busy trying to survive, in the face of this unprecedented disaster, no one can be an exception.

In London's Hammersmith area, what was once St. Paul's Girls' School has become a girls' military school.

Most of the students in the school are doing the same training that Li Guangming has experienced in their school, and all the students are crazy about exercising their physical fitness and endurance. Because life on the moon, and even in the port of the spaceship, requires a stronger body and spirit to survive in the lonely space, and it is also possible to fly a space fighter plane with higher physical requirements.

Each of the girls on the track is wearing heavy metal leggings tied to their feet, which is a daily 10-kilometer weight training at night, looking at each of them panting and sweating, and the black training clothes on their bodies are all soaked, and they should not be far from the finish line.

One of them, a girl with an Asian face but blue eyes and a height of nearly 170, ran at the front of the large group, ahead of most of the students, and only a few of the 10 or so were able to move forward at about the same speed. But it can also be seen that her body has been burdened a lot, her chest is constantly rising and falling, her bronzed body is already full of sweat, shining from time to time under the lights of the running field, and there are sweat droplets dripping from time to time on the entire training ground, and slowly the whole field is like a light rain, and there are dripping water stains everywhere.

Finally reached the end, and everyone did not wipe off the sweat for the first time, but supported their thighs with their hands, desperately breathing the air, and matching the sweat on their bodies, as if everyone was rescued in suffocating water. Under the order of the instructor, before they had time to remove the leggings, they all stood in a square formation.

"At the end of the 10-kilometer training at night, everyone went back to the dormitory to wash up, and then went to the cafeteria to receive nutritious meals."
