In the center of Tiangong City, on Colonial Square.
After following Hong Zewei and other Tiangong City leaders to inspect the entire city, this is the last stop of today's trip. According to the arrangements in the itinerary, Jiang Chen will guide the work and deliver a speech in the Colonist Square in the center of the colony to all Starring Trading employees stationed on Mars and the citizens of Tiangong City...
For Jiang Chen, speeches of this level were already commonplace, so when Hong Zewei asked him thoughtfully if he needed help preparing a speech, Jiang Chen smiled and declined.
He had already thought of his words while on the space elevator.
When the host handed the microphone to his hand, Jiang Chen faced the dark crowd and recalled everything he saw on the space elevator, with a smile on his lips.
He did not use an impassioned and inflammatory tone, but just like chatting. After a two-second pause, he spoke in a relaxed tone.
"Standing in the orbital module of the space elevator, I never thought that everything I saw today would be so surprising."
"The future of Tiangong City is the future of all mankind. I have nothing to guide you. All the problems I can think of have been solved by you in production and life. So, standing here, all I want to say is One sentence."
"I'm proud of you."
When the words fell, the audience burst into applause.
Facing the enthusiastic citizens, Jiang Chen smiled and nodded.
The girl holding flowers in the audience came forward and handed the bouquet into his hands. Although he knew that this scene was probably arranged by Hong Zewei, he still couldn't help but feel happy for it.
After the speech, everyone in the square dispersed, and Jiang Chen followed Hong Zewei to the hotel in the colonial center. This place is completely designed according to the layout of a five-star hotel on Earth, and is generally used to receive VIPs visiting Tiangong City.
Rested one night in the colonial center.
The next day, Jiang Chen, accompanied by Lilith, Hong Zewei and others, went to the crater a hundred kilometers away from Tiangong City.
When his rover arrived at its destination, Golovin's vehicle had been waiting for a long time.
After getting off the car, we walked into the mining area.
Seeing the Boston Steel Group's sign hanging on the mine, Jiang Chen couldn't help but turn around, looked at Gorovin I who was standing half a step behind him, and asked.
"here it is?"
"switch."
After leaving these words, Groven I stepped forward and slowly raised his right hand.
Light blue light particles emerged from his palm and floated towards the strange-looking building behind the mining area. The triangular shape in the center shone with light blue light, and along with bursts of dull sounds coming from the soles of the feet, cracks slowly opened that extended from top to bottom to the ground.
Casting a surprised look behind him, Jiang Chen continued to look at the open triangular pyramid building and asked.
"Is this the relic of the Gaia civilization?"
"No, that's the entrance we built to lead to the underground." Golovin I shook his head, "The ruins of the Gaia civilization are located two kilometers below. If the information recorded in our database is correct, then the Earth's Core Mine The entrance switch should be right at our feet."
"Is it just a switch?" Jiang Chen frowned, "I thought you found its entrance."
"Of course the entrance has been found," Golovin raised his head and looked at the distant horizon, "It's right there."
Behind the endless sand dunes, the bulging Olympus volcano stands abruptly above the sand dunes, like a shield raised toward the sky.
Looking along Ge Luwen's line of sight, a hint of surprise appeared in Jiang Chen's eyes.
If it is there, it may indeed be the site of a mine in the center of the earth.
Vaguely, he seemed to have read reports about the volcano. Simple tectonic movement has no way to explain this volcano standing abruptly among the sand dunes. But all along, he had preconceived the idea that everything in Gaia's civilization had been weathered by time, so he didn't take that report to heart.
Besides him, the only people who knew about the mine in the center of the earth were senior officials from the Special Projects Research Institute such as Dr. Amos. Even Kerwin didn't mention the details about the earth's core mine. He just talked about the small ball of strong interaction material and the planetary forging technology in general...
"Let's turn on the 'switch' from here and go down directly above the volcano?" Jiang Chen looked at King Golovin I and said with a smile, "Although that thing is an extinct volcano, I'm sure we can go down. It will be directly roasted into carbon dioxide in an instant.”
"Leave aside the volcanoes, no one can withstand the temperature of the earth's core." Golovin I said slowly in a tone with little fluctuation, "Think about it from another way, Gaia, that is, those group of arthropods How do animals do it?"
Jiang Chen frowned slightly and thought carefully for a moment.
"Portal," Lilith, who was standing behind Jiang Chen, said, "In the technical documents about Gaia civilization in the database, I have retrieved an entry about the portal."
"Gaia civilization still has this technology?" Jiang Chen asked in surprise.
"Yeah, but this technology is very unstable. The transmission distance is limited, and the energy consumption per unit distance increases exponentially with the distance." Lilith said expressionlessly.
Gorovin I glanced at Lilith unexpectedly.
It may be strange to say this. Even Jiang Chen himself did not expect that he would read the expression of "surprise" from this paralyzed face.
"Who are you… "
"Cyborg."
"I see, that makes sense." A hint of understanding appeared in his calm eyes. Golovin I nodded slightly, "It seems that you Asians succeeded in the end."
"Yes." Lilith said expressionlessly.
"So what's your opinion?" Golovin I looked at Jiang Chen, "You can reach the center of the earth directly through the portal. If I guessed correctly, the destination of the portal should be at a workstation outside the earth's core. The temperature there is It won’t be very high.”
"Send a robot down?"
Golovin I shook his head.
"The planetary furnace covers an area of more than thousands of square meters. It absolutely cannot pass through the portal. The only one who can bring it to the surface from below is you."
The moment he heard these words, Jiang Chen's eyes suddenly narrowed.
Sensing the dangerous aura emanating from Jiang Chen, Golovin I seemed to understand something and continued in that calm tone.
"About the sub-universe in your hands, I was told by those who were exiled in the void. I hope you won't misunderstand anything because of this. If you are worried, I can go down with you."
"The only person who can activate it is you, and the only decision-making power is in your hands."
Just as Jiang Chen was about to say something, his watch suddenly flashed a red light.
After being slightly stunned, he reached out and clicked on the holographic screen of his watch.
The moment I saw the first line of words.
His expression changed wildly...
