The Trench Plan was officially launched.
Two Seagull-class transport ships set off from Celestial City, passed through the stargate hovering in the Earth-Moon system, and galloped toward Mars.
On these two starships, there were officers of the Earth Defense Alliance, senior space technology engineers who graduated from the Coro University School of Aerospace Technology, and more than a dozen scientific researchers. Although their identities were different, everyone was here for the same purpose.
That was to build a "trench" to defend against Harmony between the orbit of Pluto and the Kuiper Belt.
On this issue that concerned the life and death of everyone, the representatives from various countries finally gave up on the endless debate.
About three days ago, Resolution 101 of the Earth Defense Alliance finally finalized the details of the Trench Plan. This included the weapon configuration of this space fortress, as well as the roles and obligations of each country in the plan.
Based on the plan formulated by Resolution 101, the entire project would be divided into three steps and would take a total of 20 years.
The first step was to find a suitable asteroid in the Kuiper Belt, pull it between the Kuiper Belt and the orbit of Pluto, and use it as the main structure of this space fortress. All functional facilities such as fortifications and living units, carrier-based aircraft hangars, and so on would be completed on this asteroid.
Just like this, the two Seagull-class transport ships embarked on their journey.
However, in addition to those related to the Trench Plan, there were two special passengers on the two starships heading to the orbit of Mars.
Unlike others, their destination was 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 a problem?"
"It's obviously your city, but you've never been there?"
"Is there anything strange about this?" Jiang Chen said with a smile, "The leader of any country doesn't necessarily visit all the cities under his rule."
"I see."
Lilith nodded, stared at the unchanging starry sky outside the window, and didn't say anything else.
The two were standing in front of the space window in the corridor.
As for why he was standing here, it had to start from the conversation between Jiang Chen and Ge Luowen a few days ago.
When Gorowen told Jiang Chen that they found the Gaia civilization's geocentric mine, Jiang Chen was first taken aback, then as if he heard a funny joke, he looked at Gorowen with a serious face and laughed.
"Are you kidding? A mine that has existed for billions of years? Or was it a mine that led straight to the earth's core? You mean, in the past three billion years, there has never been a tectonic movement on Mars? "
Any planet would more or less undergo tectonic movements. Even if the tectonic movements on Mars were not active, and there was no plate drift similar to that on Earth, on a time scale of billions of years, no matter how inactive the tectonic movements were, they could still produce earth-shaking changes.
The mine that led to the core of the planet was like a toothpick that was three thousand and four hundred kilometers long. It would break into halves after the slightest twist.
"There's no way to measure how much ahead of us their technology is. In our 'hometown', the geocentric mine of the Gaia civilization was controlled by NATO. We only know that it is a mine with a similar vertical transmission structure. No matter which direction the geological movement comes from, it can deform the mine, but it will never make it collapse. "
Vertical transmission structure?
Because it was too abstract, Jiang Chen tried to imagine it in his mind, but he still couldn't imagine what kind of project could resist the baptism of time.
"Then? What did you find inside? "Temporarily putting the confusion in his mind aside, Jiang Chen asked a question he was more concerned about.
"We can't get in."
"Can't get in?" Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback.
"Yes," Gorowen nodded, "The entrance to the mine is a giant door embedded in the ground. We tried to excavate the soil on both sides of the giant door, but the strength of this mine is far beyond our imagination. In order to avoid irreversible consequences, we did not further use more violent means to break the door. "
"Even you can't find a way to open the door?" Jiang Chen couldn't help but ask.
"On the contrary, we found a way to open the door." Gorowen paused for a moment, looked at Jiang Chen, and continued, "If our guess is correct, you are the only person 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 who has been recognized by the Guide," Gorowen said slowly.
"Guide …?"
Is this what the CCCP called that person … or Gaia? Or is this the official name?
When Jiang Chen heard Gorowen say this word, he couldn't help but recall the scene of that day. The Gaia that walked into his memory took him to experience the rise and fall of the Gaia civilization for hundreds of centuries, and finally calmly described the final ending of the Gaia civilization to him without a trace of regret and regret.
According to Gorowen, the first Flower of Memory would not open to everyone. Because this was the last trace of their existence, they must carefully choose and hand these legacies to the right people.
Facing the "new" Earth civilization, Jiang Chen didn't know what kind of mood it had when it handed all this, along with their memories, to him. He also didn't know why the Guide finally chose him as the heir of these legacies.
"If you are interested, you can come to Sventowit."
At the end of the conversation, Gorowen left this sentence.
So, Jiang Chen embarked on a journey to Tiangong City.
Because he didn't know what would happen on this trip, for the sake of insurance, he brought Lilith with him.
Even if he didn't want to be too far away from the pregnant Sun Jiao, for Celestial Trade and even the entire Defense Alliance … the significance of the geocentric mine was too important.
For example, the ball of strong interaction force material made by planetary forging technology lying in his storage dimension was created in the deepest part of the geocentric mine.
It marked the highest achievement of the Gaia civilization's material science technology. If Celestial Trade could apply strong interaction force materials to the armor of battleships or space fortresses, then not to mention the Harmony civilization, even if it was a civilization one level higher than the Harmony civilization, the Earth fleet would have the ability to fight.
"What are you thinking about?"
Lilith glanced at Jiang Chen, who was staring blankly at the window, and asked.
Jiang Chen recovered from his divergent thoughts, smiled, and said.
"I'm thinking, I hope that thing won't disappoint me."
