Chapter 187: The Legendary Eye of the Earth Project
The old cat lit a cigarette and took a hard puff, and one by one the eye circles came out of the old cat's mouth, and it could be seen that he was an old smoking gun.
Only then did the old cat tell us what he knew about the "Eye of the Earth" plan.
Speaking of the "Eyes of the Earth" project, we must first talk about the modern Cold War period. During the Cold War period, all countries began an arms race, were dominated by the Cold War mentality, and invested a large amount of financial and material resources into the endless war readiness competition, and military scientific research also advanced by leaps and bounds at an almost deformed pace, and both sides did their best to develop all kinds of strategic resources. The arms race has gradually shifted from the core military aspect to a "non-military" race.
During World War II, Germany's famous "Geocentric Project" caused many countries to shift their focus to the exploration of "underground" areas during the Cold War. For example, the "God's Forbidden Zone" program of the United States, the "Telescope Program" of the Soviet Union, and so on, at that time, the southern and eastern parts of the Soviet Union were vast, surrounded by mountainous areas, and there were many natural caves and mines. In order to grasp the abundant resources of the earth and the unknown world that humans have never come into contact with before the United States, the goal is to obtain supernatural powers from the underground.
There is also an "unofficial" archaeological organization in China, whose purpose is also the underground area, called the "Eye of the Earth" project.
At that time, the "archaeological team" secretly carried out an unprecedented depth excavation in a certain place in Guangxi, using heavy drilling machinery and equipment. No one knows what they are digging here, only that archaeological work is being carried out here, but this work has been done for twenty years and a few years.
Halfway through the archaeological team came and went, although there have been archaeological team members here, but the locals have not seen any archaeological team members leave, and what is even more strange is that the number of archaeological team members has always remained at about a dozen. With so many people coming, I couldn't see the increase in the number of members of the archaeological team.
Later, there was a theory that the archaeological team found a huge cave there, and the vertical depth of the cave even reached more than 10,000 kilometers, and no one knew what was in that cave and what the archaeological team found in the cave.
Because it involves a high degree of military secrecy. Therefore, the "Eye of the Earth" program has always been closed to the outside world. Very few people from the outside world know about this, and the only rumors about the "Eye of the Earth" are only circulating in the surrounding villages.
The legend about the cave is very bizarre and terrifying, it is said that the cave is a gateway to another world, after the archaeological team discovered the cave, the nearby villagers often heard the terrible sound of the dragon at night, and every time at midnight, the direction of the cave also emitted a howl like a ghost, the cry seemed to be the evil spirit of the underworld roaring. There are a few daring villagers. At night, he slipped into the vicinity of the cave, but never came out again.
As time passed, strange things happened more and more often, with black shadows of half-humans and half-beasts appearing at night, huge dragon-shaped scales scattered around, more and more people disappearing for no reason, and so on. Strange events that can be said and cannot be said have happened one after another.
So much so that many people in the surrounding villages had to move out of the village. It gradually became bleak. So much so that it later came to the point where it was inaccessible.
Later, the "Eyes of the Earth" project was forced to be terminated. There are many rumors about the reason for the termination, but the one that is accepted by most people is that the archaeological team found a lost ancient country in the cave, and that ancient country was inhabited by people. It's - the dragon!
The old cat said this, paused slightly, and then looked up at the three of us, probably to see if the three of us could understand. The three of us didn't say anything, just waited for the old cat to continue talking.
The old cat then explained to us. At that time, the archaeological team that implemented the "Eye of the Earth" plan not only did not belong to the "official", but also did not even count as "unofficial", because not only in the Mystery Bureau, but even in the Black Umbrella Organization, there was no relevant record, and the archaeological team at that time was definitely not composed from the Mystery Bureau or the Black Umbrella.
Not only that, but the black umbrella organization where the old cat is located has also been investigating the "Eye of the Earth" plan back then, and what the old cat is saying now is a summary of the investigation over the years.
In fact, the "Eye of the Earth" project is just the name of the outside world for this matter during the Cold War, in fact, the "archaeological team" related to the Eye of the Earth project has existed for a long, long time, and they may have existed longer than history, of course, in the eyes of the old cat, this is just an exaggeration.
Team Zhang's parents should be the parties involved in the "Eye of the Earth" project in Guangxi back then, and the old cat doesn't know how that incident progressed. Since no one could find their way to the cave, and all those involved in the incident seemed to disappear overnight, the "Eyes of the Earth" project came to an abrupt halt.
Speaking of which, the old cat took out a very worn file bag from the bag on one side. The file bag was old-fashioned brown paper, and the cover had been blurred, except for large patches of yellowed color.
Suddenly, Lin Xihui snatched the file bag from the old cat's hand, and raised the file bag to the upper left corner to look, I found that there were five numbers vaguely written on the cover in the upper left corner of the file bag - 02359, which should be the code of the file bag. The numbers may have been written with a pen, and over time, the numbers are very blurry.
"The coding of this file is extraordinary." Lin Xihui sighed.
Then he explained to us that these five numbers in the archive have their own meanings, and they are of great significance. The code of this file is the ID card of the file, and the file starting with '0' indicates that the file was to be destroyed at that time. It is also known as a "ghost case" by many people.
There are very few files that start with '0', because after reading them, they are usually destroyed immediately, and nothing is left. This kind of 0-head file, also known as the headless file, is usually recorded in some supernatural or very confidential things. This kind of thing must not be leaked in the slightest, so the files must be destroyed immediately.
The number '2', generally in the archive, the second number represents the importance of the archive, not that '1' is the most important, '9' is the most important. You can't do that in the file. Based on the numbers before and after, we should figure out the importance of the second number.
The old cat interrupted Lin Xihui's words at this time, and said to us quietly, the code of this file, in addition to its special significance, the content inside is also very strange. (To be continued.) )
