The Science Fiction World of Xueba

After more than four hours of flight, the plane landed slowly on a flat airport runway in the southern river valley of the Central Siberian Plateau.

The runway is surrounded by lush forests, but this forest has long been frozen by ice and snow in the severe cold and low temperature, and it is no different from the outside world.

But Pang Xuelin knew that just 20 kilometers underground of this runway, there is a super city related to the rise and fall of human civilization-Hope City.

This is the seat of the coalition government, and it is also the control center of the earth engine, also known as the earth cab.

It controls the operation of 12,000 planetary engines on the earth, and is also the core of the entire human civilization.

The plane did not stop directly on the runway, but slowly drove into a hangar along the taxiway. Then, the door of the hangar was closed, the elevator started, and the plane slowly sank into the ground.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Pang Xuelin felt the fuselage shake slightly.

Then, Wang Lei took off his seat belt, stood up and said, "Professor Pang, we are here!"

Pang Xuelin nodded and got off the plane accompanied by his entourage.

On the spacious apron stood three senior officials of the coalition government who seemed to come to pick up the plane.

The leader is blond, well-dressed, and has a temperament similar to the UN liaison officer Kanter that Pang Xuelin met in Three-Body World back then. Beside the man is a polite-looking yellow man wearing glasses. , but the temperament is quite different from the Chinese in Pang Xuelin's impression.

Pang Xuelin suspects that he belongs to Japanese-Chinese.

After the Great East Japan Earthquake, many survivors of Japanese descent immigrated to China and became members of the immigrants from the Greater China region. Many senior intellectuals among them held important positions in the coalition government.

The last one is a burly soldier. You don't need to ask, just by looking at his body shape, you can tell that the other party is from a fighting nation.

The leading white man stepped forward first, shook hands with Pang Xuelin with a smile, and said: "Professor Pang, hello, I am Royce Kirk, Senior Affairs Officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Coalition Government, welcome to City of Hope, this time you are here I will arrange the whole process of work and life in Hope City for you."

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "Mr. Kirk, thank you for your hard work!"

Kirk smiled and said: "It is my honor to serve you, Professor Pang, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Ichiro Ichiro, Director of the Liaison Office of the Science Committee."

"Mr. Ishikawa, hello!"

Ishikawa Ichiro said with a smile: "Professor Pang, you have worked hard. You have known your name for a long time. You are really a hero. You look younger than I thought!"

"Mr. Ishikawa has won the prize!"

Pang Xuelin smiled slightly.

Kirk continued to introduce: "Pang Xuelin, this is General Vladimir Korolev, the deputy commander of the space fleet, and the commander-in-chief of this channel clearing mission!"

Pang Xuelin shook hands with Korolev and said, "General Korolev, thank you for your hard work this time!"

Korolev said: "Don't dare, Professor Pang, our space fleet is only responsible for front-line missions. It is you scientists who really need to work hard. You are the real commanders of this operation!"

The group exchanged greetings for a while, and Kirk said: "Professor Pang, the scientists who came to support from all over the world are almost here. One hour later, the Science Committee will hold a mobilization meeting for this operation at the planetary engine control center." , the chief executive officer of the coalition government and the secretary-general of the Science and Technology Commission will participate, let's go to the control center now!"

"good!"

Pang Xuelin nodded. The planetary engine control center is also known as the earth cab, which can be said to be the control center of the entire earth. Pang Xuelin has been fascinated by it for a long time.

Soon, a group of people got into the car and drove for nearly 20 minutes along the inner road of the underground city before they came to a magnificent building.

The building is nearly thirty meters high,

The exterior wall is wrapped with unknown silver building materials, the surface is smooth and tidy, without any gaps, which looks very sci-fi.

There is a small door on the left side of the building. Although it is a small door, it is more than ten meters high and six to seven wide. Under Kirk's leadership, Pang Xuelin entered through this door and quickly entered the earth cab.

"hiss!"

The moment he saw the scene in the cab of the earth, Pang Xuelin took a deep breath.

Although he had seen the scene of the earth cab on TV countless times before, Pang Xuelin was still shocked by its grandeur.

What appeared in front of his eyes was a holographic simulation of the solar system the size of a football field. Viewed from all directions, the entire image looked like a black space infinitely extending from countless directions. In the center, Pang Xuelin could faintly see a ping-pong ball-sized The sun is radiating light and heat all around.

Mercury, Venus, and Mars are represented by light spots like fireflies, and the dotted ellipse lines represent their orbits, which cannot be recognized unless you look carefully.

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are slightly larger, but they are only the size of a grain of rice, just for the convenience of identification, and their brightness is much larger than other planets.

A striking red spiral expands around the sun, like a rapidly spreading red wave circle on the vast black ocean, and has now extended to between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

This is the route of the earth. On the outer side of the spiral, the route changes from red to green. This is the journey that the earth has not yet completed.

The green line extended from the top of Pang Xuelin's position and disappeared among the stars.

Under this huge holographic image, there are workbenches and countless screens flashing various data, and the staff are busy in an orderly manner.

"Professor Pang, come with me, let's go to the conference room first!"

Kirk's voice woke Pang Xuelin from the shock.

Pang Xuelin nodded, and under the leadership of Kirk, he came to a conference room with lights on. There were already more than 50 people sitting in the conference room. scientists and astrophysicists.

Pang Xuelin didn't know many people, only a few people in the mathematics field, but his appearance attracted the attention of many people present.

After all, there are only dozens of people from all over the world who can enter this meeting room, and the youngest is over forty years old. A young man in his early twenties like Pang Xuelin sits among them, as if shining in the dark. Light bulbs, not too bright.

Pang Xuelin didn't change his face. He had seen such gazes a lot, and he was more comfortable with this kind of scene. He quickly found the nameplate with his name on it and sat down in his seat.

About ten minutes later, the coalition government, the military, and the top leaders of the Science Committee entered the meeting room one after another. This is the highest-level meeting that Pang Xuelin has participated in since he entered the world of Wandering Earth, and it officially started.
