"Can you find Mr. Jiang Chen for me? In view of the recent security situation in Los Angeles, I have a copy of the defense adjustment..."
"I'm sorry, he has taken a rest. If you have any questions, you can contact me."
Standing at the door of the embassy, Xia Shiyu declined Lawrence's request to visit as Jiang Chen asked. Now he is still dozens of kilometers away in the hinterland of the Nevada desert, and it is impossible to come out to see him.
Lawrence frowned slightly and glanced at the embassy.
"This is an important matter and I hope you can take it seriously."
"He entrusted me with full authority to handle it." Xia Shiyu replied in an uncompromising tone.
Hearing what the CEO lady had said, Lawrence no longer insisted, nodded, handed the document in Xia Shiyu's hand, then turned and left the door of the embassy.
Xia Shiyu picked up the document and glanced at it. It contained information in English about the recent security situation, FI's adjustments to Jiang Chen's travel safety work, etc.
According to the description on the document, it seems that the security level has been increased
…
As night fell, the Nevada desert returned to silence. Jiang Chen, wearing a mechanical exoskeleton, had returned to the present world. He was still behind the bushes. The surroundings were quiet except for the rustling of the wind.
The lights illuminate Area 51, and high-power searchlights cruise evenly around the military base.
Today's night was no different from yesterday, and all the soldiers stayed at their posts as always. Even the most rigorous soldiers, standing guard in the endless desert, can't help but fight with their eyelids and run away over trivial matters.
No one noticed that the invisible ghost was approaching...
A gust of wind blew by, and the American soldier leaning next to the checkpoint sneezed and rubbed his nose vigorously. The soldier standing opposite him yawned, and the rifle hanging on his body moved in boredom. No one will check at this point, and their postures are very casual, at least not as professional as in front of the camera.
But at this moment, the soldier who sneezed earlier looked around.
"Clooney, did you notice anything?"
"Things? Are there hares?" The sleepy Clooney suddenly became energetic.
"No, it might be my imagination."
"Xie Te, the changing of the guard is about to happen, don't amuse me..."
Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the dialogue of these soldiers.
If optical invisibility has a weakness, it is that it is difficult to achieve perfect invisibility in environments with significant light differences, and it will leave footprints when walking on the sand. In order to avoid being discovered, he tried his best to choose the main road with harder soil, that is, the checkpoint that passes through Area 51 from the front.
As for the lighting problem, it can only be solved by walking close to the edge of the building.
Judging from the number of patrols, this military base is indeed one of the most heavily guarded military bases in the United States. In addition to the patrols who covered every corner of the base with rifles, and the invisible snipers, Jiang Chen also noticed that helicopters often flew through the sky.
It was precisely because of this that he did not dare to turn off optical invisibility for a moment.
Fortunately, even in a tightly guarded base, decades of peace and stability will make the people here feel relaxed. Jiang Chen didn't encounter any trouble along the way. He successfully passed by the patrol like a ghost under the cover of optical invisibility.
With such a big base, he certainly couldn't run around like a headless fly. In the photos taken in advance, Jiang Chen had already marked the key buildings for investigation on the map. These buildings include the large radio telescope, a fighter aircraft hangar, and several houses whose purpose is unclear.
Arriving at the airport, Jiang Chen quietly entered the hangar.
Here, he saw the unnamed test machines at close range. These aircraft have no cockpits and are presumably legendary unmanned sixth-generation aircraft.
Jiang Chen hesitated for a while, whether he should put a few bombs on it and take these planes with him when he left. However, he only hesitated for a while and then gave up the plan. Making too much noise is not a good thing for him. If he stokes this hornet's nest, he is afraid that the entire state of Nevada will be under martial law.
There was no way he could walk back through such a large desert using optical stealth.
It was better to come quietly and leave quietly. Anyway, the purpose of his trip was not to blow up the ghost guy's planes.
Behind the hangar is the radar station.
The two-storey building, like the "giant bowl" to which it is connected, is placed at the corner of the site.
Compared with the highly guarded hangars, garages, research institutes and other facilities, Jiang Chen could clearly find that the patrols here were much laxer.
Hiding behind a concrete wall, Jiang Chen carefully avoided the two patrol teams walking in opposite directions on the main road, quickly moved behind the radar station, and looked out the window. At this time, the radar station was completely dark. It was obvious that all detection tasks had been completed during the day, and there should be no researchers left inside.
After appraising the height of the window, Jiang Chen finally glanced at the sentry tower not far away.
This is the blind spot of the field of vision, or the blind spot of the searchlight. No light will shine here.
From the storage space, Jiang Chen took out an electrostatic adsorption device similar to a suction cup. Although I don’t know what the principle of this thing is, you can easily control the adsorption between the suction cup and the wall by just pressing the button on the handle.
He knew nothing about physics involving particles, but this did not prevent him from using it.
Jiang Chen put it on his arms and calves, and then put his arms against the wall like a gecko. Squeezing the button on the right hand grip, the adhesion between his right arm and left leg was released. Jiang Chen skillfully climbed up his right hand and swam towards the window as nimbly as a gecko.
Fortunately, perhaps because the weather was too stuffy, the windows were not locked.
After entering the radar station, Jiang Chen carefully turned on the detection equipment and made sure that there were no infrared sensors or cameras in the room before taking a closer look at the room.
The room was dark, but the night vision feature on the tactical helmet solved that problem. A faint blue light curtain spread out in front of the field of vision, and everything in the room was clearly displayed on Jiang Chen's retina.
This seems to be an office, with stacks of documents neatly placed on a row of desks. Jiang Chen stepped forward and took a few glances. Although he could understand English, he had a headache when it came to things that were too professional.
But fortunately, he can hire "foreign aid".
The watch was connected to the exoskeleton computer, and Jiang Chen gave control of the tactical helmet's camera to the artificial intelligence residing in his watch, Jane.
"Jane, what is written on these documents?"
"... Astronomical observation data, some drafts, and some document reports, do you want me to translate them for you?"
"No need, I probably won't be able to understand it if you translate it to me. Look inside to see if there is any useful information, such as something related to aliens, extraterrestrial civilizations or something." Jiang Chen said with a headache.
Focusing the camera on the document, Jiang Chen quickly flipped through the document, but unfortunately, Jane did not collect any useful information. Regardless of whether they were useful or not, he saved these files into the memory card.
After leaving the office, Jiang Chen entered the corridor.
The door plate hanging directly above the door was a big help, and the function of each room was clearly written in English. There are control rooms, conference rooms, drawing rooms and other rooms here, but these are not what Jiang Chen is looking for. What he was looking for was the archives, where all the secrets would undoubtedly be stored!
After all, it was only a two-story building. Jiang Chen didn't search for long and found his target at the end of the corridor on the first floor. (.)
