Earth Era

Rodriguez could clearly sense the estrangement in Zhao Lan's words, but Rodriguez seemed to have expected this a long time ago, so he didn't react to it.

Zhao Lan's life is step-by-step. After spending a warm and happy childhood, Zhao Lan went to school to receive education, and after obtaining a doctorate, she came out to work and lived peacefully until now. Zhao Lan believes that the so-called underground forces should not appear in his life. If it wasn't for special circumstances this time, Zhao Lan would never have any intersection with these things.

"Okay, Miss Zhao Lan, please follow me." Rodriguez stood up, and Zhao Lan followed him and left the breakfast room.

After walking for a while and leaving the area of ​​Watson Square, the two boarded a flying car together, and the car took them to the underground station and left.

With the development of science and technology, the old rail transportation is no longer used for long-distance and bulk transportation. The latest developments are maglev trains and fully enclosed vacuum track technology. People have built traffic tracks extending in all directions underground. These tracks are fully enclosed and evacuated to avoid the existence of air resistance. The maglev train avoids the existence of friction, so the running speed of this kind of train is extremely terrifying, even It is faster than the speed of airplanes hundreds of years ago. Zhao Lan once read a report, which said that the fastest maglev train on the earth has reached a speed of 4,500 kilometers per hour, which is almost four times the speed of sound. However, the speed of the train that Zhao Lan and Rodriguez are taking at the moment is not so fast. Zhao Lan saw from the sign at the entrance of the underground station that the average speed of this train was about 2,800 kilometers per hour, which was a little more than twice the speed of sound.

Rodriguez took Zhao Lan on this train for about an hour, and then got off in another city. There was already a flying car waiting for the two of them, so the two changed again, left the city in this flying instrument, and started to set off for the stretching mountains on the edge of the city.

The high-rise buildings and the bustling bustling scenes are gradually left behind, with beautiful scenery and perfect facilities. The crowded scenic spots have also been left behind. This is a rolling mountain, except that some places on the outside have been developed into scenic spots. Its interior still maintains the uninhabited desolation and the beauty of the original ecology of nature.

"Could it be that Li Yunfan's base was built here?" Zhao Lan thought secretly, "Even if the technological strength of human beings has greatly surpassed that of the past, it is still costly to build a base in the mountains... This Li Yunfan's power really So huge?"

Rodriguez and the pilot of the flying car did not speak all the way, and Zhao Lan also remained silent. Looking at the undulating hills and the verdant green below the vehicle, Zhao Lan's mood calmed down unknowingly.

After flying for a period of time, the flying car suddenly began to lower its altitude, and finally it was a little low in one place. He stopped in front of a hill that was inconspicuous compared to the surrounding peaks. Suspended in the air for a while, a flat land covered with weeds and trees suddenly rose straight above the ground, revealing a dark and deep passage below. The flying car flew in through this passage without hesitation, and the perfectly camouflaged flat ground descended again, blending with the surrounding environment again, as if nothing had happened here.

After flying through the dark passage for a while, the car came to a place that seemed to be a parking lot. The driver parked the car there, and Rodriguez got out of the car. At the same time, he opened the door next to Zhao Lan in the back seat, and made a gesture of please.

"That's it," Rodriguez said. "We hollowed out part of the interior of this mountain and made special reinforcements, and then built our base inside it. Our base covers an area of ​​about one square kilometer in total and has more than 300 staff members work here."

Rodriguez led Zhao Lan to take the elevator to the highest point of the base. Stand above the stands. Zhao Lan leaned on the railing, squinting his eyes to look at everything in front of him.

Like Rodriguez said. Presented in front of Zhao Lan was a closed space about a thousand meters long, hundreds of meters wide, and tens of meters high. The space is brightly lit, and there are huge buildings everywhere and huge machines that cannot be named. There are many staff members in white uniforms and robots with different shapes that shuttle back and forth in the base. The meter or indicator light flashes here.

Although he had already made psychological preparations, Zhao Lan was still extremely shocked by this place. The power of human beings and technology is displayed in front of Zhao Lan in such an intuitive way.

"The government doesn't know everything about this place, including the initial construction of the base, the installation of equipment, the allocation of personnel, the supply of supplies...all of this is secret, right?" Zhao Lan turned to the person standing next to her. Rodriguez asked in a low voice.

"Yes, everything here is secret. Only the staff inside the base and those who have obtained the boss's A-level authorization can enter here. Only these people know the existence of the base." Rodriguez replied, the voice There is a kind of pride that cannot be concealed.

"But, how did you build this base under the surveillance of the government?" Zhao Lan stroked his forehead weakly, "Well, I know you have strong organizational and concealment capabilities... I just want to Let me ask you a question, how did you hollow out this mountain in the first place? Where did you pile up the rock waste after hollowing out the mountain? That is at least tens of millions of tons of rock...There are satellites belonging to the government in the sky all the time No matter where you pile up tens of millions of tons of rock waste, it is absolutely impossible to escape the government's surveillance..."

"Those rock wastes are placed in this base." Rodriguez said mysteriously, "These instruments in the base were transported in from the outside through underground passages, including those brought by digging underground passages." Tens of millions of tons of soil and rock were also placed in the base."

"But where are they?" Zhao Lan asked puzzledly, "Adding the two together, their mass must be calculated in at least 100 million tons, and 100 million tons of rocks... probably have nearly 20 million tons of rocks. With a volume of cubic meters, why can't I see their shadows in the base?"

"Haha." At this time, Rodriguez let out a hearty laugh: "Miss Zhao Lan, in fact, it's not just the rock waste for building bases and digging underground passages, our staff lives here and The waste generated from scientific research has never been transported out of the base. To tell you the truth, this is a base that can only be entered. The materials we need will be transported in from the outside through the underground passage, and the materials we discard will be piled up in the base. Among them, they will never be transported to the outside world. As for where they are... sorry, Ms. Zhao Lan, this belongs to the category of S-level secrets in our base. Your current authority is not enough, so I can't tell these secrets for the time being. You know."

Zhao Lan patted himself on the head, temporarily throwing out the doubts in his heart. After Rodriguez said those words, Zhao Lan already had a rough guess in his mind, but this guess was too amazing and shocking, it even made Zhao Lan dare not think carefully about this guess possibility.

One of the most prominent impressions this base left on Zhao Lan was shock. After seeing this base, Zhao Lan's doubts about Li Yunfan had dropped to the minimum. Zhao Lan couldn't imagine how great wisdom and superpowers Li Yunfan possessed. Zhao Lan even wondered if Li Yunfan was an alien, or someone who traveled from the future to the present. Otherwise, why would Li Yunfan have such abilities? , can have the status of so many leaders in different industries, and can build such a huge base in this mountain under the strict supervision of the human civilized government?

And the most unbelievable thing is...such an outstanding person tried his best to steal an ordinary small spaceship belonging to an ordinary self, and then somehow intersected with himself. Zhao Lan still didn't know the reason for all this, and Li Yunfan seemed to keep it secret, and he kept refusing to tell himself the truth about these things.

Shaking her head, shaking off the doubts in her mind and the shock of what she saw and heard, Zhao Lan decided to do her own thing well first. Zhao Lan has never forgotten her identity. She is a scientist, and her identity at a deeper level than a scientist is a human being. And since he is a member of mankind, when faced with a huge disaster that may come, he naturally has the obligation to deal with this disaster.

Zhao Lan wants to find evidence in this base that can confirm what Li Yunfan said. If the "strange space" that Li Yunfan said once existed in the solar system really exists, and Li Yunfan has really conducted research on it, then those research materials are likely to reveal the truth about the abnormal disappearance of stars. And after knowing all the truth, Zhao Lan, or human civilization can find a way to deal with this disaster.

"Rodriguez... Please give me all the research materials of your base on that strange space that once existed in the solar system." Zhao Lan said in a low voice, "I should have this authority." (To be continued ~^~)
