Chapter 7: The Valley of the Kings of the Moon
An hour later, Lu Xuan stood in front of the main console of the Carlo base with a confused expression.
On the base's screens, more than a dozen state-of-the-art vehicles departed from the Carlo base and flew to another base on the far side of the moon.
"So, it's time for you to tell me what's going on, right?"
Slowly turning his head to look at John next to him, Lu Xuan still hadn't figured out what was going on.
Even another base on the surface of the moon, he had heard of it for the first time.
If it weren't for the inconvenience of contacting Zhizi now, Lu Xuan would have planned to find out what was going on through Zhizi.
After all, Lu Xuan's curiosity never stayed overnight.
"To put it simply, there is a secret archaeological research project going on on the moon inside the TPC."
Hearing this, Lu Xuan didn't know what kind of expression to put on.
TPC? Moon? Archaeology?
Lu Xuan couldn't tie the three words together anyway, just as he couldn't understand why John wanted to keep him.
Just looking at John with a serious face, Lu Xuan didn't think that the other party would joke about this kind of thing.
"Consultant Li, are you interested in more in-depth cooperation with me, or with the Carlo base?"
"For example, the joint development of that secret archaeological research project?"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Xuan suddenly understood.
It seems that this is the real reason why John wants to keep himself.
John is interested in the background of Lu Xuan's identity - that is, the power of the Extraterrestrial Alliance or the Galvin Group.
As for whether Lu Xuan is an archaeology professional or not, it doesn't matter.
At the very least, it didn't matter in John's eyes.
"What do you want?"
Considering his current identity, Lu Xuan asked this question very bluntly.
Such a cooperation involving a secret project is not suitable for Lu Xuan's current identity to make direct decisions.
Therefore, asking John directly now is more in line with Lu Xuan's current personality.
Besides, Lu Xuan is indeed very curious, what does John want to get by doing this kind of thing, which is almost like betraying the interests of the Carlo base, or TPC?
"It's simple, let me go back to Earth."
was a little surprised by Lu Xuan's straightforwardness, but John reacted quickly.
Because it suddenly occurred to him that no matter how much Lu Xuan looked like a human now, he was an advisor to the Extraterrestrial Alliance after all.
In other words, the middle-aged man in front of him is most likely some kind of alien camouflage image.
For these aliens who do not belong to human society, it is probably difficult for them to understand the complex interpersonal relationships and human feelings in human society.
"I didn't come to the Carlo base of my own free will, I was banished here because of a failed factional struggle."
After figuring out Lu Xuan's identity, John introduced his current situation in great detail.
"I don't want to stay at the Caro base forever......"
"I don't want to be in this lifeless land forever......"
The words are full of self-pity.
Because John knew that this guy in front of him was probably the last chance he could get.
After all, it is rare for outsiders to come to the Caro base, especially outsiders with a background like Lu Xuan.
It is better to say that you are in a hurry to go to the doctor, or that you have outstanding vision......
In short, the current John has no reservations about Lu Xuan.
"I admire people who volunteer to stay here like Hurricane, but I know I'll never be able to do that."
"If you can help me get out of here, I'll tell you everything I know."
couldn't help but fall silent, Lu Xuan seemed to be able to understand John's approach.
No matter what kind of archaeological project has a problem, there is an urgent need for a force to support itself.
Or do you really want to leave the Carlo base, leaving this moon that will definitely not be able to be developed by immigrants during this period of time.
John's purpose is very clear, that is, he hopes that the Galvin Group behind the extraterrestrial alliance can help him.
"Let's talk about the archaeological project first!"
After thinking for a while, Lu Xuan still did not refuse John's suggestion of cooperation after all.
Because his instincts told him that the "archaeological project" that John spoke of was certainly not as simple as it seemed.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………
With John's little bit of narration, Lu Xuan finally gradually figured out the ins and outs of the whole incident.
As human beings gradually become a real cosmic civilization, the TPC high-level has long launched the immigration and development of the moon and Mars.
Especially on the moon, TPC knows very well that this is the first springboard for humans to truly step into the universe.
As a result, there are many plans for the development of the moon, including some whimsical ideas.
The Caro base on the lunar surface is just the most inconspicuous of them all.
The original Caro base was a military base built by the Earth government during the Defense Force to develop and research faster-than-light ships.
But since TPC took over the Caro base, the use of the base has been a focus of internal debate.
Continuing to work on faster-than-light ships is a plan that is too large and hopeless.
As a result, it was suggested that it would be better to carry out a comprehensive lunar development and resettlement program centered on the Caro base.
After much debate and discussion, Base Carlo eventually became the first line of defense against alien invasions, and was the only special unit that had access to all the dangerous weapons of the Wehrmacht.
All experiments on weapons that the TPC deems inappropriate to appear on Earth can be carried out at the Kahlo base.
This practice continued until the rise of the Galvin Group.
As the Galvin Group continued to throw out various advanced concepts and technologies, the Carlo base became an outpost for the TPC to verify the militarization and weaponization of these technologies.
And when it comes to military technology, it is naturally inseparable from all kinds of reconnaissance equipment.
In fact, as early as the seventies of the last century, the Earth Defense Force actually discovered a special hidden space on the far side of the moon.
In that special space, there is an ancient relic that was built 1.2 billion years ago.
However, due to the limited technology of the Earth Defense Force at the time, they did not carry out large-scale development and exploration of this ancient ruin.
According to the relics, according to the subsequent excavations and surveys of TPC observers, it is more like an ancient temple - a temple dedicated to ancient gods or kings.
Huge buildings stand above the moon's surface, and powerful electromagnetic interference fills the entire space......
Even TPC, which has a variety of advanced equipment and instruments, can only explore its secrets little by little in the most primitive way.
In view of this, TPC has named this ancient relic "Valley of the Royal Family".
