Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

The northern outskirts of Mombasa.

This is the junction of urban areas and grasslands.

On the south side is the high-tech urban area of ​​Mombasa, but on the north side is a spacious African layoff.

Bustling with short grass, short trees, slightly barren loess, some muddy puddles and puddles, and even various wild animals can be seen.

Although the overall level of Africa is underdeveloped, it should be the area closest to nature on earth.

On the land on the outskirts of the city, the engineering team of the Kenya base is rushing to build a temporary scientific research base.

And Halsey is leading Ivan, Rui Ge and other juniors to wander over the grassland in a Pelican. It seems that they are planning to confirm where there may be large ruins before the base is built.

but…

Looking around, except for the unique desert grassland scenery in Africa, there is no noteworthy place at all.

Flat.

It does not have a higher earth bag like Gobekli Tepe, or it was built under the world-famous volcano like the tomb of Achilles.

With the naked eye, no abnormalities can be found at all.

Halsey, who was standing on the edge of the hatch, also knew the reason for this.

The forerunner disappeared about 100,000 years ago, and 100,000 years is enough to bury everything here.

"If you can really see it, this ruin should have been discovered long ago, so how can I be used?" Halsey whispered.

Immediately afterwards, she glanced at Megan who was sitting upright in the cabin, and then said to Ivan who was standing beside her:

"Ivan, let your artificial intelligence come over to help, let her use the scanning function of the Phantom to conduct a complete scan of this area.

Deduce the landform here 100,000 years ago, and confirm where it is most likely to be a pothole, or where there are traces of artificial construction. "

"Yeah." Ivan nodded to Halsey, and then walked into the cabin.

When he came to Megan, Ivan told the other party what Halsey had said before.

Megan, who was instructed, didn't say much, and nodded to Ivan still a little coldly, as if the nerve connection had no effect on her.

Then Megan got up and came to Halsey's side, looking out of the cabin with a slightly dull expression, overlooking the almost unpolluted African grassland.

After about ten minutes.

Meghan's expression returned to normal, and she reported respectfully to Halsey: "Doctor, according to my initial scan...

(pointing to the right outside the cabin)

There is an unnaturally formed circular structure with a radius of approximately ten kilometers. "

"The radius is ten kilometers, hum... It seems that it is really as William said, there is a large teleportation device that can go to the ark."

Halsey looked in the direction of Megan's finger, and muttered to himself with a slight frown.

Take it easy.

She said softly to Megan: "Megan, help me notify the engineering team supervisors throughout Africa, and let them come to me immediately to assist with the homework.

Relying on the Kenyan engineering team alone, there is a shortage of manpower, and I need to completely excavate this place within four days. "

"Yes, Doctor."

Megan, who received the instructions, nodded lightly, and then, with the fastest efficiency of current artificial intelligence, almost instantly conveyed Halsey's order to the directors of all engineering teams in Africa.

Immediately afterwards.

Megan asked again: "Doctor, is there anything else I need to do?"

"Hum..." Halsey pondered for a moment, then said softly:

"Inform William of this matter, and let him come to Kenya immediately after solving the problem of coexistence of alien races."

"Yes... I have already doctored your words and passed them on to the boss's secretary Serena." Megan replied.

"Ah!" When Megan said the word Serena, Halsey sneezed uncontrollably.

?

"Ever since I ate that fruit of life, I haven't caught a cold, and I was even accused of sneezing... What's going on??"

Halsey frowned suspiciously.

And the sixth sense also told her that William seems to be a bit dishonest staying in Haffa, but William has no guts to do things beyond the 'warning line'.

"Hey." Halsey looked out of the cabin with an unhappy smile, and said to himself:

"Wait for you to come, there are you to see."

"Doctor, is there anything interesting?" Megan asked beside him.

"No, just do your thing."

Halsey lightly waved his right hand to shut up the unsophisticated Megan, then turned around and sat down in the center of the cabin, picked up the ultra-thin tablet again and continued to study.

February 7, 2027.

Kenya, Mombasa.

11:40 local clock.

In today's Mombasa, a small but extremely large fleet has assembled in the sky above a kilometer.

A Star Destroyer-class flagship, six dreadnoughts with a length of nine kilometers.

These seven warships alone almost blocked the entire sky over Mombasa.

At this time, the northern suburbs of Mombasa were also 'hollowed out' by engineering teams throughout Africa.

Just look at a circular underground building with a radius of ten kilometers, which is located 200 meters underground in the north of Mombasa.

Looking down from the sky, the edge of this building has two groups of two, a total of six groups of super-large triangular structures, which seem to be able to rise.

The bottom of each triangular structure is hollowed out, and the length is about 800 to 900 meters, which is longer than the Paris and Roger Young class frigates that have not been modified.

The center is a typical forerunner ruins style.

The metal building of an unknown alloy, engraved with dense cuneiform characters, looks like a super giant metal square.

This is exactly what William mentioned at the beginning, one of the ruins built by the forerunners on Earth.

The game "Halo 3", William only played for a summer vacation when he just graduated from high school in the world before he traveled.

Although the details are almost forgotten, I also remember that the Prophet of Truth led the fleet to excavate the ruins in New Mombasa, Africa.

and…

The name 'Mombasan' is really distinctive, Mombasan, Obasan.

It's hard not to remember.

The second floor of the bridge of the Star Destroyer flagship.

William led a group of high-level people here, standing on the edge of the second floor of the bridge, watching the giant ruins on the outskirts of Mombasa through the giant portholes.

William, dressed in a black commander's uniform, stood in the center of the crowd with his hands behind his back and looked out the window for a moment.

Then he turned his head to look at Halsey who was still beside the center console, and said with a faint smile, "Catherine, you should be able to open the portal of this ruin now."

"Hmm." Halsey nodded without denying it, continued to operate something on the touch screen, and said:

"Fortunately, I have been researching the transmission engine of the Dreadnought Battleship for the past few months, so I was able to quickly decipher the transmission device of this ruin...

OK, already opened. "

After Halsey finished speaking, she trotted to William's side, preparing to watch the spectacular scene of the ruins when the portal was opened with her not-so-honest husband.
