Chapter 1581: A New Discovery
In the crater 100 kilometers away from Heavenly Palace City, the rover of the B City Steel Group was on a transport mission to send liquid oxygen, freshwater, food, and other supplies to their mine.
As usual, Hansen unloaded the cargo from the rover and then handed the tablet to Roger, who was in charge of receiving, to sign. At the same time, with the ease of his position, he brought some gadgets to relieve the mine engineers of loneliness.
Except for the generous salary, life in the mining area on Mars was quite dull. They could barely receive the signal from Svetovid City at the last mine, but now, this location was quite far apart from both Svetovid City and Heavenly Palace City.
After Hansen accepted the tablet from Roger’s hand, he stuffed it into the pocket in front of his chest. However, when he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed that the back of the mine had two more steel structures compared to the last time he was there.
“What are those?”
Hansen narrowed his eyes and examined the two buildings carefully. Out of curiosity, he added.
“Golovin’s buildings, who knows what they are doing.” Roger shook his head.
“Isn’t this your mining area? You don’t know what they are here for? And you let them in?” Hansen asked with a weird expression on his face.
The reputation of the Golovin people in Heavenly Palace City was not the best, since no one wanted clones as their neighbors. Compared with their compatriots on Earth, Hansen and the immigrants who chose to settle here a long time ago were still quite repulsive to the clones of Svetovid City.
On the one hand, these people never really communicated with them. On the other hand, a group of identical people standing together instinctively caused people to avert, or fear.
Even if the Golovin people have never done anything harmful to them.
“This is the order of Heavenly Palace City. I also asked the CEO… If it weren’t for Loki’s nod of approval, I would never let those freaks into my mining area,” Roger cursed in a low voice as he looked quite displeased.
The Loki he mentioned was, of course, the youngest son of the Loki family.
Hansen didn’t say more after Roger explained. He just stretched his neck and looked at the clones that gathered around the two steel buildings.
Perhaps it was because the clones noticed his gaze, but after they discussed amongst each other using eye contact, one of them left their small group and walked in Roger and Hansen’s direction.
Roger frowned slightly after he saw the Golovin walk towards him. Then folded his arms in front of his chest.
“What’s the matter? If you’re looking for freshwater, speak with the logistics department. I am only responsible for—”
“No,” the Golovin shook his head and said blankly, “Something has happened here and we will explain it to you later. I hope you can stop the mining machine first.”
When Roger heard what the Golovin said, he was first taken back, then he raised his eyebrows and started to laugh.
“Stop? Are you here to seek trouble?”
“No,” The Golovin shook his head and said calmly, “We will compensate you for your loss.”
“Oh, loss? Do you know the loss if our mining machine stops for one day?” Roger waved his hand impatiently to dismiss the Golovin, “Don’t bother me with unreasonable things.”
The Golovin didn’t say anything. He used his index finger to write a string of zeros on the tablet and handed it to Roger.
“Is this figure enough?”
Whether it was Roger or Hansen who stood next to him, when they saw the number, they were both stunned.
One billion Xin New Dollars…
It was enough to purchase their entire mining area including the equipment, let alone compensating for a day of loss.
“…I can’t make a decision here. I have to contact my boss,” Sweat dripped down from his forehead, and Roger said in a trembling tone.
Even if he did not want to deal with the Golovin people, no one was against money.
One billion Xin New Dollars…
As one of the partners of the B City Steel Group, this number made his heart dance.
“I hope you can tell him as soon as possible. We plan to buy this place.” The Golovin nodded, and then looked at the mining machine in the middle of the mining area that was working above the mine. “So, can I trouble you to stop this machine first?”
“How much do you know about Gaia civilization?”
Jiang Chen sat in the holographic conference room on the opposing side of Golovin’s holographic image. Then, he asked the secretary to make a cup of tea. Just when he thought that Golovin I was here to discuss the order of one hundred warp engines, the question Golovin I asked made Jiang Chen so surprised that he didn’t know how to answer.
“…From the origin of Gaia to the decline and fall of the entire Gaia civilization,” After Jiang Chen considered that the Soviet Union in that world must have unearthed the relics of Gaia civilization, he responded after he gave it some thought. “Is there any problems? ”
“Because of the competition with Pan-Asia and NATO, the information we have about Gaia civilization is quite limited. From the limited information, we analyzed that their species should belong to the arthropod phylum, and the social type was similar to ants… …” At this point, Golovin I stopped talking and looked at Jiang Chen’s eyes as if he was asking him for confirmation.
After Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, he said.
“Your analysis is correct, at least 80% correct.”
Golovin nodded slightly.
“It seems that your understanding of Gaia civilization is deeper than ours. Then, you should have heard of planetary forging technology, right?”
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but smile after he heard those words
I have not only heard of it.
That small ball made of strong interaction materials marked the crystallization of the most advanced technology of Gaia civilization. In addition, it still rested in his storage dimension.
“The prosperity of Gaia civilization stems from their enthusiasm for the depths of the earth, and their destruction is also because of this. If you read that memory, then you should remember how the magnetic field that once protected Mars disappeared.”
“Of course, I probably won’t ever forget about that shocking scene in my life.” Jiang Chen smiled, put down the cup in his hand, and said softly, “Speaking of which, you came to see me today to talk about the Gaia civilization?”
“Indeed.” Golovin I nodded.
“Is there anything to talk about in regards to that dead civilization? No matter how brilliant they were, they are now a story on another timeline.” Jiang Chen shrugged.
“Although their civilization has disappeared in the river of time, what they left behind can bring some help to the problems we are facing now.”
“Are you talking about the technology of Gaia civilization?” Jiang Chen smiled.
He had already got those things.
However, unexpected by Jiang Chen, Golovin I shook his head.
“This is not what I want to say. Do you remember the sentence I asked you just now?”
“The root cause of the demise of Gaia civilization is the mine that reaches the center of the planet…”
After a moment’s pause, Golovin I continued.
“…we have found it.”
