Professor Gong Qingguo in the Crystal Palace under the sea saw that the crisis of the new space city had basically passed, so he put his focus back on the pioneer project. Wang Xiao's exploration team has advanced to a depth of nearly ten kilometers underground, and the many data transmitted by the exploration team have also made Gong Qingguo more and more convinced that the plan he advocated is feasible, because according to the general law, the temperature of the earth's crust where Wang Xiao's exploration team is now located should be about 200 degrees Celsius, but the actual situation is not the case, the temperature of the outer layer of the Pioneer has always been kept below 100 degrees Celsius, and most of the heat still comes from the heat generated by the drill bit. Therefore, Gong Qingguo concluded that the temperature of the strata there did not change much compared with the upper layer, and the most fundamental reason for this was that the earth's crust was not a raging hot magma, but a large body of pure water.

Wang Xiao no longer has the spirit of when he first set off, he and the team look tired of working non-stop for nearly a month, although the living conditions on the Pioneer are still good, but after all, they can't be compared with the conditions of the Crystal Palace in the undersea city, energy and various resource consumption are set at the lowest level, but Wang Xiao's younger sister Dong Ruijie and a few other women are still very capable, which makes Wang Xiao feel very depressed, but this is not determined by will, but the power of genes, Women's durability is just stronger than men's, and sometimes even much stronger.

The Pioneer had already passed through the granite layer and was digging to the upper part of the basalt layer, because it was impossible to know the exact thickness of the rock formation, the exploration team could only drill down as always, leaving behind a continuous, long tunnel with a diameter of one meter, because it was necessary to dig a long storage tank laterally every other section in order to store the pressurized rock powder, so the progress was very slow, and Wang Xiao became more and more impatient.

……

When Li Kang came to Country A, the Tang Erfat brothers had already started to build a new base in the villa on Rietberg Island allocated by Lieutenant General Runes. The island is very small, no more than one square kilometer in area, next to the coast, with a beach only a few hundred meters wide in the middle, there is only one villa on the island, the villa is a typical neoclassical style building, the front is a luxurious large stone pillar and the eaves are eyebrow-level, very symmetrical and solemn, the porch is very wide, you can see the high Ionic column head flower horns in the near distance, and the eaves are also beautifully decorated.

Li Kang likes the European-style villa very much, and he was particularly excited to see that this place has become a new home for him, and he personally drove the Haojie-3 fighter around the villa a few times before flying into the gate of the villa, and began to look for his father Li Gang in the huge living room.

Li Gang has been here for several days, according to the previous agreement with Lieutenant General Runes, this is already the territory of the Li family, without the permission of Li Gang himself, no one or organization can enter without permission, Lieutenant General Runes agreed to this Li Gang's additional request, because his purpose is very clear, as long as he can reach cooperation with this part of the aliens, any price is worth it.

Li Kang did not find Li Gang in the living room at the door, so he had to use the communication system to call his father, Li Gang was enjoying a hearty lunch in the luxurious restaurant behind, and the two newly invited French chefs were giving him dishes one by one, Li Gang was eating with relish, and saw that his son's call came from his mobile phone terminal, and hurriedly asked the chef and maids to withdraw, and then connected Li Kang's phone and introduced Li Kang into the restaurant.

Li Kang observed the surrounding environment before coming here, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Dad, you are too extravagant, you have four maids and two chefs, just now I passed by the villa, there are three gardeners cutting grass outside, you should be your private villa!" ”

Li Gang only heard his son's voice but didn't see him appear, so he said: "You can show up when you arrive, everyone here has been blasted out by me, no one will come in, they are all professional." ”

"Oh, there's a profession too, okay then." Li Kang carefully parked Haojie-3 on the snow-white tablecloth, in order to hide it at any time, he did not close Haojie's stealth system, but just opened the hatch and walked out of it, came to Li Gang's vicinity and asked:

"You know what, the more people you hire, the more dangerous we become, and who knows how many of the people you hire are agents? I saw the prettiest maid as an agent, but I was careful to do things, they couldn't see the hero, and they shouldn't see me, because I was small. ”

"Oh, I really didn't expect this, but the Tang Erfat brother has done a very detailed inspection here, and has not found any listening and monitoring equipment, I think that Lieutenant General Runes is very cooperative, there is no need for him to play this kind of trick, right?" Li Gang said suspiciously.

"You'd better be careful, I'll stay soon, first go to the basement to see how the construction of the new base is, and then I'll go to your study to find you, remember that no one is allowed to enter your study, only leave an hour a day for people to clean, we are now in the tiger's den eagle's nest." Li Kang admonished, turned around and walked back to his hero, and flew directly to the basement entrance behind after taking off.

The two brothers, Tang Junwei and Tang Junwu, have been waiting for Li Kang for a long time, according to the time, they know that they have waited for more than twenty minutes, but they don't dare to ask Li Kang, so they have to wait for Li Kang's arrival at the entrance of the base. Tang Erfat brother designed this entrance to be very hidden, Li Kang's heroes will only reach the last entrance after three encrypted entrances, and this entrance is specially guarded 24 hours a day in addition to the automatic identification system and defense system, they listen to Li Kang's words This new base must be kept strictly secret, pay attention to defense, and set up a secret path to escape. And they did it from the very beginning.

Finally waited for Li Kang's arrival, when Li Kang parked Haojie in the base gate and walked down, Tang Junwei immediately greeted him and asked, "You're late, is there something delayed on the road?" ”

Li Kang waved his hand and said: "No, I just went to see the old man, he is good, he really seems to be enjoying Qingfu here, I think something will happen sooner or later." ”

"Oh, the old man has worked hard for most of his life, and it is normal to enjoy it, and besides, your little brother is about to be born, and his old man is happy!" Tang Junwei was patting his ass on Xing's head, and suddenly found that his younger brother Tang Junwu behind him was pulling his clothes, and then he realized that he had committed a taboo again, and remembered that Li Kang was the most annoying person to mention his little brother, and hurriedly said: "Ah...... Ah, Brother Li must be tired, please go to your room to rest first, we have prepared a hearty lunch for you, and you can eat after I go to see it later. ”

Li Kang glanced at Tang Junwei and did not speak, but sat on a heroic C-10 next to him, and Tang Junwu drove him towards the room arranged for Li Kang. According to the usual practice, Li Kang's base always builds a living area first, and then other base facilities, because this time the situation is special, and the scale of the base here is not large, mainly to build a living area, only a few buildings and Haojie fighter hangar, so it was built quickly, although the two sides have reached a preliminary agreement on cooperation, but Li Kang is not in a hurry to implement the cooperation project in the agreement, this is mainly because Li Kang is not very at ease with the people of country A, his core purpose is to see the situation here first, If everything goes as smoothly as you imagined, it will not be too late to expand the base.

The Tianyu Pavilion Lord had already left Li Gang and returned to his own base near the Plateau Resort, Li Kang only sent Tang Er's fat brothers and two squadrons of seventy-two Haojie fighters here, as well as a maintenance squadron and Haojie transport aircraft detachment and some logistics personnel responsible for other work, so there were only more than 1,000 people in the Li Club on Rietberg Island, and its scale could be said to be very small.

Li Kang is most worried about George? Lieutenant General Runes' request to meet with aliens is a very normal request that Li Gang can't directly refuse, since it is a cooperation between the two parties must meet officially, this is very reasonable, but Li Gang and Li Kang both know that this is absolutely impossible, if they really meet, then the details of themselves and Li's club and the 'aliens' will be exposed, so Li Kang has been thinking about how to reasonably refuse this reasonable request made by Runes on behalf of country A these days.

When Haojie C-10 arrived at the top building, Li Kang did not let Tang Junwu fly directly into Haojie C-10, but let Tang Junwu take himself into the central office building, he wanted to see the construction of the base and the building while walking, saying that the building was actually only eight stories high, Li Kang asked all the construction and equipment investment here to be simple, he did not regard this place as a permanent residence.

Along the way, Tang Junwu took Li Kang to take a final look at the office prepared for Li Kang, and then came to the temporary residence prepared for Li Kang next to it, the reason for this arrangement is to make it convenient for Li Kang to work and rest, Li Kang was very satisfied with this arrangement, and specially praised Tang Junwu, saying that he could do things and had the ability, just these few words made Tang Junwu really happy for a while.

Tang Junwu left temporarily and went to the restaurant to see the preparations for the reception luncheon, Li Kang just wanted to lie down and rest when Wang Xiaoning's phone called, Li Kang had to go back to the sofa in the living room and sit down, turn on a desktop communication system on the coffee table, Wang Xiaoning's voice immediately came out: "Brother Li, you have arrived safely, little brother came to greet you, and see if you still need us to do." ”

Li Kang smiled and said: "Brother still understands me, I just quieted down and wanted to lie down and rest for a while when you called, and the time was just right." ”
