Chapter 279: Grand Coul Power Station
Standing atop the dam of the Grand Coulee Hydropower Station, Mark is still uneasy. This is their secret base, the safe house of District 51, but Mark still doesn't feel at ease.
That's a god, a real existence in Greek mythology, his name is Zhang Binhui, he is actually Chinese!
Mark wasn't sure if the other party was aware of him, and if he was being tracked by God, Mark didn't believe he would be able to run away.
When he received this mission, Mark did not expect much, after all, the war was on Mars, which was too far from Earth.
Is it just because of those shoes? Even if it were, would the gods have rushed back to Earth so soon?
Mark knew that the organization must have sent a large number of agents, and knew that it was a top state secret, so he released a lot of smoke while he returned home as an embassy worker.
After returning, Mark did not contact anyone, but ran directly to the Grand Coulee power station. There was no one here, and there was not even an internet in the safe house, so it was only by hiding here that Mark felt a little relieved.
"Olive Branch!"
Mark sent this code out on a satellite phone, and the entire Area 51 shook! The human Noah's Ark is finally saved, and Mark finds the true god.
Headquarters immediately sent a message back, asking Mark to stay where he was, and the armed forces would immediately come and protect him. Then Mark dropped the phone, left the safe house, read the novel, and walked to the dam alone.
There was a detailed report of him in the safe house, and Mark had left to make sure the information could be returned to the Order, and if the gods did come, or some other hostile forces, he had to divert their attention from them.
The surging water jetted out of the spill, and Mark looked so small above the dam that his depressed mood finally eased a little.
The Grand Coulee Hydropower Plant is the largest hydroelectric power plant in the United States. It is located near Spokane, Washington, on the Columbia River.
The installed capacity of the Daguli Power Station ranks fourth in the world, and it has benefits such as power generation, irrigation and flood control. It controls a basin area of more than 190,000 square kilometers with an average annual runoff of 96.2 billion cubic meters.
The granite bedrock of the Grand Coul Power Station is the largest dam on the Columbia River with a maximum of 168 meters and a crest length of 1,272 meters.
The reservoir is named Roosevelt Lake, with a total storage capacity of 11.8 billion cubic meters, and there are 3 conventional power generation plants behind the dam, and there are factories for installing pumps and pumped storage units on the left bank upstream of the dam, which can irrigate 40. 50,000 hectares of farmland.
Built in 1934, the Daguli Hydropower Station was the largest hydropower station in the world until the mid-80s, and is now second only to the Guli Hydropower Station, the Itaipu Hydropower Station and the Three Gorges Power Station.
It's in a basalt area, and it's surrounded by barren people, so District 51 has set up a special contact point here, only sixty kilometers away from the nearest military base, and the special forces will be able to rush over quickly.
Wandering in unease, Mark soon heard the roar of the engine.
A platoon of five Apaczi combat helicopters flew over from the corner of the valley, and after spotting the Mark on the dam, these five helicopters occupied positions on all sides, controlling all the dead ends, and one of them slowly landed on the dam.
Then the half-parched valley was filled with dust, and six military Humvees ran over the cobblestone riverbed, their heavy machine guns reflecting an eerie glow.
Three people got off the helicopter, two in military uniforms and one in civilian clothes, Mark didn't dare to slack off, and greeted him with a military salute:
"Hello sir."
However, it was not Mark's immediate superior, Colonel Duke, who was the first to answer, but the man in the suit standing next to him:
"You found it?"
Mark looked at Duke suspiciously, and Duke immediately introduced to Mark, "This is Professor Jefferson, a senior galaxy expert in Area 51, answer him. ”
"Yes!"
Mark pulled out the photo from his bosom, and everyone was smiling happily except for the light snow!
"That's him, that's him, he has a mole under his left eye!"
Jefferson's hands began to tremble violently, and his cheeks were so red with excitement that one feared that he would suddenly have a cerebral hemorrhage.
"Quick, quick, tell me about his situation!"
So Mark told all about his experience in China, especially about the acquaintance with Zhang Binhui, and Jefferson listened and muttered there:
"He is really in China, God really lives in China, we must go and ask for his help, this is our last chance!"
Colonel Duke, who was much more professional than Jefferson, remained calm.
Duke knew very well that this was a matter of national security, and the first task now was to immediately transmit the information back to headquarters, and there was a confidential data channel on the helicopter.
"Everyone stay vigilant and implement the R11 plan now."
Orders were conveyed to the surrounding Special Forces fighters over the walkie-talkie, and Duke ran towards the helicopter with the photo.
"Excuse me, Professor, are you the expert who arranged for Curiosity to photograph Mars?"
Jefferson was still looking down at the materials Mark handed over, and Mark felt that Jefferson was becoming more familiar the more he looked at it.
He had been on a mission to monitor the space center's specialists, so he had heard a little about Jefferson.
"That's right, it's me, so I went to District 51 later."
Jefferson didn't lift his head.
"Are those bugs scary? Is it really like in the video? ”
Jefferson paused, and his body slowly straightened:
"It's not that it's scary, it's that there's no chance at all, they're the devil. I'd rather not have arranged for Curiosity to photograph Mars at that time, and maybe we earthlings would have died in ignorance.
Do you know? Ever since I saw the war with my own eyes, I wake up from nightmares every morning.
We have to find the person in the picture, and now only God can save us. ”
Duke shuddered, turned on the power, and said that it was a lie not to be excited, and that he had more information than Mark.
Duke was a professional soldier, so he could better understand the meaning of that video.
As long as that kind of bug attacks the earth, the earth will have no power to resist, and since they have the power that Martian technology cannot defeat, then space flight will definitely be no problem for them.
The bugs are coming, but I'm afraid it's just around the corner.
Duke didn't think he could find the man in the footage, the shoes might just be a coincidence, and now the only thing Earth could rely on was a nuclear bomb.
Duke has been lobbying his superiors to lift the ban on nuclear bomb technology research and development, but who would have thought that this Mark had brought back the shocking news that the god-like man had found that he had really returned to Earth.
Now there is only one question, will he be willing to help us?
Duke was about to scan the photo when a loud bang came from outside the helicopter, somewhat like the sound of a Thunderstone anti-infantry mine exploding.
This is the interior of the United States, this bunch of waste, how can there be enemies?
Duke was furious and leaned out of the helicopter: "who's firing there?" ”
