Area 51 is an area of approximately 155 square kilometers located in Lincoln County, southern Nevada, United States, 130 kilometers southeast of downtown Las Vegas. It is part of a U.S. Air Force training facility. But everyone knows that this military base is definitely not what it is advertised to the outside world. It is used to train the air force.
Only those with extremely high security levels and invited by the highest levels of the military or intelligence agencies may enter the military base. Will ordinary pilots be eligible to receive training here? Red prohibition signs can be seen everywhere here - "No Photography", "No Entry", and even "Authorized to Use Deadly Weapon".
Of course, there are also signs like "alien infested" set up by nearby residents themselves. These serious signs can attract many tourists. In this country where capital is paramount, there is nothing that cannot be used for hype.
The endless sandy hills are dotted with dry camel grass and countless cacti. Occasionally, one or two poplars can be seen, and from time to time, hares can be seen scurrying through the bushes.
A black off-road vehicle slowly stopped beside the gentle and majestic sand dunes.
It looked like a brand new car a few hours ago, but now it's suffused with dust. The car door opened, Jiang Chen got out of the car, grabbed the travel bag from the passenger seat, threw it into the storage space, and squinted at the top of the sand dune.
The sky in the distance is already glowing with morning light, and in a few minutes it will be dawn.
After climbing over this mountain and hiking for a few kilometers, you can see the legendary Area 51. However, Jiang Chen knew very well that although the mountain was right in front of him, it was not easy to cross it on foot. The straight line distance on the map is more than ten kilometers.
Note that this is a straight line distance!
Jiang Chen carefully took out the special telescope, turned on the thermal imaging function and looked around. Every year, curious American climbers rush into this desert with their backpacks on their backs, trying to find out more about the legendary Area 51.
Fortunately, he only saw a few hares.
After confirming that no one was there, Jiang Chen raised his hand and patted the off-road vehicle, threw the entire vehicle into the storage space, and then walked up the mountain.
Not far from Area 51 is the Nevada Test Site, where the U.S. Department of Energy tests nuclear weapons. Although he hadn't seen the sign prohibiting advancement yet, Jiang Chen knew very well that he was now on the edge of the most heavily guarded military restricted area in the United States!
The slope of the sand dune is very gentle, so climbing is not a hindrance, but it is definitely laborious.
After walking until sunrise, Jiang Chen finally reached the top of the mountain.
Taking out the telescope, I could already see the shadow of a military outpost at the corner of the valley opposite. A few kilometers further along that road is the legendary Area 51, but Jiang Chen certainly wouldn't be able to walk in blatantly along the road.
Jiang Chen took out the exoskeleton from the storage space and put it on. Jiang Chen walked down the mountain without activating the optical invisibility.
This is not a military restricted area, and the American soldiers standing guard cannot keep their eyes on the telescope all the time. Looking here from the outpost on the opposite side, we can see at most the outline of a mountain. It is absolutely impossible to see clearly whether there are people on the mountain with the naked eye alone.
As long as Jiang Chen doesn't make too much noise.
After spending a long time, at two o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Chen followed a large arc around the mountain on the side of the military base. There are many sensors hidden in the bushes deployed here. If you accidentally touch them, they will immediately attract the attention of the patrol.
But discovering these things is not difficult for Jiang Chen. Carefully avoiding all sensing devices, Jiang Chen lay down behind a bush and took in the entirety of Area 51.
The iron grid isolates hundreds of square kilometers of land from the desert, and houses of all sizes are located within this military base. In addition to tanks and armored vehicles, you can also see the runway for aircraft. At least five F35s were parked beside the runway. In addition, there were some aircraft that Jiang Chen couldn't name, but only thought they looked cool.
The architectural layout here is almost the same as the photos published on Google Maps, but there are still some subtleties.
For example, the radar standing in the southeast corner of the military base attracted Jiang Chen's attention.
Rather than saying that it is a radar, it is better to say that it is a "giant bowl" embedded in the earth's surface. There are straight booms standing on the four corners, and the slings connected diagonally are in the center, and props like launching columns are suspended.
According to the scale on the telescope, the diameter of this giant bowl is fully meters. The antenna of the radar pointed directly at the sky. After thinking for a long time, Jiang Chen couldn't figure out what this thing was.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Chen pressed on the side of the helmet, turned on the tactical camera function, and took a picture of the telescope.
By the way, he also took some close-ups of the entire military base.
At this moment, a vague buzzing sounded in his ears, followed by a dizzy feeling that crawled into his brain, so that Jiang Chen couldn't help but frown. But soon, his whole body relaxed and he recovered from this sudden discomfort. The electric sound in his ears also disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared before.
"What happened?"
Jiang Chen shook his head to get rid of the remaining dullness, put away the binoculars, and turned off the tactical camera.
He noticed that at the moment when he heard the sound of electricity, even the holographic screen on his tactical helmet had a slight lag.
Could it be>
Jiang Chen rejected this idea in an instant.
No matter how strong the electromagnetic pulse is, it is ineffective on people, and EM cannot explain the dizziness at that moment. Compared with the high-energy transient current induced by high-energy particles in the conductor, this feeling is more like some kind of super strong electromagnetic wave, or something else.
Putting his doubts aside, Jiang Chen confirmed the patrol route of the military base through the telescope, and with the help of Jane's power, he calculated a relatively safe infiltration path on the map.
The preparations during the day have been completed, and all we need to do is wait until dark before the plan can be put into action.
"I don't know what's going on at the embassy." Jiang Chen muttered softly.
He said this, but in fact he was not worried at all.
If someone comes to visit, Xia Shiyu can turn them away for him. Even if there are special circumstances, no one will suddenly break into the embassy of other countries.
The coordinates have been set here. He left a camera in place that can transmit data across dimensions, and then traveled to the end of the world. The operation was at night, and he had no interest in lying behind the bushes all day like a real sniper.
Even in late October, the afternoon sun in California is very poisonous.
Especially in the desert... (.)
