Project Trench was officially launched.
The two Seagull-class transport ships set off from Star Ring City, passed through the star gate hovering in the earth-moon system, and rushed towards Mars.
On board these two starships were officers from the Earth Defense Alliance, senior space technology engineers who graduated from the School of Aerospace Technology of the University of Coro, and more than a dozen scientific researchers. Although their identities are different, everyone is here for the same purpose.
That is to build a "trench" to defend a harmonious civilization between the orbit of Pluto and the Kuiper Belt.
On this issue that concerns everyone's life and death, representatives from various countries finally gave up their endless debates.
About three days ago, the Earth Defense Alliance's Resolution 101 finally finalized the relevant details of the trench plan. Including the weapons configuration of this space fortress, including the roles played by various countries in the plan and the obligations they should bear.
According to the plan formulated by Resolution 101, the entire project will be carried out in three steps, lasting a total of twenty years.
The first step is to find a suitable asteroid in the Kuiper Belt, drag it between the Kuiper Belt and the orbit of Pluto, and use it as the main structure of this space fortress. In the future, all functional facilities such as defense fortifications and living units, carrier-based aircraft hangars, etc. will be constructed on this asteroid.
In this way, these two Seagull-class transport ships embarked on their journey.
However, in addition to those related to the trench project, there are also two passengers with special identities on the two starships heading to Mars synchronous orbit.
Unlike others, their destination is not the Kuiper Belt, but Tiangong City...
"Have you been to Mars before?"
"No."
Seeing Lilith looking at him in confusion, Jiang Chen couldn't help but look at her strangely, "Is there any problem with this?"
"It's obviously your city, but you've never been to it?"
"Is there anything surprising about this?" Jiang Chen said with a smile, "The leader of any country may not necessarily visit all the cities under his rule."
"That's it."
Lilith nodded and stared at the unchanging starry sky outside the window without saying anything else.
The two of them were standing in front of the space window in the corridor.
As for why we are standing here, we have to start from the conversation between Jiang Chen and Ge Luwen a few days ago.
When Ge Luwen told Jiang Chen that they had found the core mine of Gaia civilization, Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Ge Luowen who said this seriously, as if he had heard a funny joke. Wen Yishi laughed.
"Are you kidding, a mine that has existed for billions of years? Or a mine that goes straight to the center of the earth? You mean, there has never been any tectonic movement on Mars in the past three billion years?"
Any planet will undergo tectonic movements to a greater or lesser extent. Even if the tectonic movements of Mars are inactive and there is no plate drift similar to that on the Earth, on a time scale of billions of years, even inactive tectonic movements can produce Earth-shaking changes.
A mine that leads directly to the center of the earth is like a toothpick measuring 3,400 kilometers long. It will break into two pieces if you break it lightly.
"How much their technology is ahead of us cannot be measured simply on a time scale. In our 'hometown', the Gaia civilization's core mine is controlled by NATO. We only know that it is similar to a vertical Transmission structure of the mine. No matter which direction the geological movement comes from, the mine can be deformed, but it will never collapse."
Vertical transmission structure
Because it was too abstract, Jiang Chen tried to figure it out in his mind, but he still couldn't imagine what kind of project it was that could withstand the baptism of time.
"Then what? What did you find inside?" Putting aside the confusion in his heart for the time being, Jiang Chen asked the question he was more concerned about.
"We can't get in."
"Can't get in?" Jiang Chen was slightly stunned.
"Yes." Golovin nodded, "The entrance to the mine is a giant door embedded in the ground. We tried to dig the soil on both sides of the giant door, but the strength of this mine far exceeded ours. imagination. In order to avoid irreparable consequences, we did not use more drastic means to break the goal."
"You can't even find a way to open the door?" Jiang Chen couldn't help but ask.
"On the contrary, we have found a way to open the door." At this point, Golovin paused for a moment, looked at Jiang Chen and continued, "If our guess is correct, you are the only one who can open that door."
When Jiang Chen heard this sentence, he was stunned and asked subconsciously.
"Why?"
"Because in this world, you should be the only one recognized by the people who lead the way." Golovin said slowly.
"A guide...?"
Is this what the CCC calls that person... or Gaia? Or is this the official name
When he heard Go Luwen say this word, Jiang Chen couldn't help but think of the scene that day. The Gaia that walked into his memory took him through the rise and fall of the Gaia civilization over hundreds of centuries. In the end, In a voice without a trace of regret or regret, he calmly stated to him the final outcome of the Gaia civilization.
According to Golovin, the first flower of memory will not be open to everyone. Because this is the last trace of their existence, they must choose carefully to place this legacy in the right hands.
Facing the "newly born" earth civilization, Jiang Chen didn't know what kind of mood it had in handing all this, along with their memories, into his own hands. I don’t know why the guide finally chose me as the heir to these inheritances.
"If you are interested, you can come to Sventovet."
At the end of the conversation, Golovin I left these words.
So, Jiang Chen embarked on a journey to Tiangong City.
Because he didn't know what would happen during this trip, he took Lilith with him just to be on the safe side.
Even if they don't want to leave the pregnant Sun Jiao too far, for the Star Ring Trade and even the entire Defense Alliance... the significance of the mine in the center of the earth is really too important.
For example, the small ball of strong interaction material lying in his storage space made of planetary forging technology was created in the deepest part of the mine in the center of the earth.
It marks the highest achievement of materials science and technology of Gaia civilization. If the Star Ring Trade can use strong interaction materials on the armor of battleships or space fortresses, then it will not be called a harmonious civilization, even if it is higher than a harmonious civilization. A level of civilization, the Earth Fleet will also have the ability to fight with it.
"What are you thinking about?"
After glancing at Jiang Chen who was staring at the window in a daze, Lilith who was standing next to him asked.
After recovering from his divergent thoughts, Jiang Chen smiled and said.
"I was thinking, I hope that thing doesn't disappoint me."
