In a crater a hundred kilometers away from Tiangong City, the Boston Steel Group's rover is delivering liquid oxygen, fresh water, food and other supplies to their mine.
As usual, Hansen unloaded the goods on the truck and handed the tablet to Roger, who was in charge of acceptance, for signature. At the same time, he used his position to bring some gadgets to relieve loneliness for the engineers at the mine.
Apart from the generous salary, life in the mining areas on Mars can be said to be quite boring. They could barely receive the signal from Sventovet City at the last mining site, but now this location is quite far away from both Sventovet City and Tiangong City.
Taking the tablet from Roger's hand, Hansen put it into the bag on his chest. However, just as he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed that the back of the mine was different from the one he came to last time. At that time, there were two more steel buildings that he had never seen before.
"what is that?"
After squinting his eyes and looking at the two buildings carefully, Hansen said more words out of curiosity.
"It's the stuff of the Golu scholar, who knows what they are doing." Roger shook his head.
"Isn't this your mining area? You don't know what they are here for? Then let them in?" Hansen asked with a strange expression.
The reputation of the Golu Wen people in Tiangong City is not very good, and no one wants to be neighbors with clones. Compared to their compatriots far away on Earth, immigrants like Hansen and others who had chosen to settle here a long time ago were quite repulsive to the clones in Sventovit City.
On the one hand, this is because these people are never willing to take the initiative to communicate with them, and on the other hand, a group of identical people standing together will instinctively cause physical disgust, or fear.
Even though the Golovites never did anything bad to them.
"This is what Tiangong City means. I've also asked the CEO... If it hadn't been for Rocky's nod, I wouldn't have let those freaks enter my mining area." Roger cursed in a low voice. His expression was obviously quite unpleasant.
The Rocky mentioned here, of course, refers to the youngest son of the Rocky family.
Hearing what Roger said, Hansen didn't speak anymore. He just stretched his neck and looked at the clones who were pointing and pointing around the outside of the steel building.
I don't know if they noticed his gaze. After the clones discussed something with their eyes, one of them left their small circle and walked towards Hansen and Roger.
Looking at the Golo scholar walking towards him, Roger frowned slightly and crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"What's the matter? If you want to borrow Tamsui, go to Meng Xi in the logistics department. I'm only responsible for—"
"No," the Golovin shook his head and said expressionlessly, "There is something going on here. We will explain it to you later. I hope you will stop the mining machine first."
After hearing what Golovin said, Roger was stunned at first, then raised his eyebrows and smiled instead of being angry.
"Stop? Are you here to cause trouble?"
"No," Golovin shook his head and said calmly, "We will compensate you for your losses."
"Huh, loss? Do you know how much our mining machine will lose if it is down for a day?" Roger waved his hand impatiently, "Don't bother me with unreasonable things."
Golovin said nothing, just stretched out his index finger, wrote a string of zeros on the tablet, and handed it to Roger.
"Is this number enough?"
Whether it was Roger or Hansen standing next to him, when they saw this number, they were all stunned.
S$1 billion…
Not to mention compensating them for the delay in construction, just buying their entire mining area together with the equipment is enough.
"... I can't make the decision on this matter. I have to contact my boss." Roger said with a trembling voice as sweat broke out on his forehead.
No one hates money, even if they don't want to deal with Golovites.
One billion Singapore dollars!
As a partner in the Boston Steel Group, this number made his whole heart dance.
"I hope you can tell him as soon as possible that we plan to buy this place." Golovin nodded, then looked at the mining machine working above the mine in the center of the mining area, "Now, can you please stop it? Is this a thing?"
…
"How much do you know about Gaia civilization?"
Sitting in the holographic conference room, Jiang Chen asked her secretary to make her a cup of tea, and then sat opposite Golovin's holographic image. Just when he thought that Golovin I came to him to discuss the issue of the order for one hundred warp engines, this man suddenly asked something that surprised Jiang Chen so much that he didn't know what to answer.
"... From the origin of Gaia to the decline of the entire Gaia civilization," considering that the Soviet Union in that world must have unearthed the remains of Gaia civilization, after thinking for a moment, Jiang Chen said, "Are there any questions?"
"Due to competition with Pan-Asian and NATO, the information we received about the Gaia civilization is quite limited. From the limited information, we learned from analysis that their species category should belong to the phylum Arthropod, and their social type is similar to that of ants... "Having said this, Ge Luwen stopped talking and looked at Jiang Chen, as if asking him for confirmation.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Chen spoke.
"Your analysis is correct, at least 80% correct."
Golovin nodded slightly.
"It seems that your understanding of Gaia civilization is deeper than ours. Then, you should have heard that planetary forging technology is correct."
Hearing these words, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile.
Don't say you've heard of it.
That small ball made of strong interaction material, marking the crystallization of the highest technology of Gaia civilization, is still lying in his storage space.
"The prosperity of the Gaia civilization stemmed from their enthusiasm for the depths of the earth, and their destruction was also due to this. If you have seen that memory, then you should remember how the magnetic field that once protected Mars disappeared."
"Of course, I will never forget such a shocking scene in my life." Jiang Chen smiled, put down the tea cup in his hand, and said softly, "Speaking of which, you came to me today just to talk about Gaia civilization. ?"
"That's right." Golovin I nodded.
"What's there to talk about that dead civilization? No matter how glorious they were, that's a story in another timeline." Jiang Chen shrugged.
"Although their civilization has disappeared in the long river of time, what they left behind can bring some help to the problems we are facing now."
"Are you talking about Gaia civilization's technology?" Jiang Chen smiled.
He had already obtained those things.
However, to Jiang Chen's expectation, Ge Luwen I shook his head.
"That's not what I want to say. Do you remember what I asked you just now?"
"The root cause of the destruction of Gaia civilization is the mine that goes straight to the center of the earth..."
After a moment of pause, Gorovin I continued.
"…We've found it."
