The far side of the moon is currently under direct sunlight.
There is a giant gate in a small lunar sea with a diameter of about seven kilometers and a depth of less than 600 meters located south of the equator on the far side of the moon.
The gate is large enough for three Goshawk-class ships to keep a distance from each other and enter and exit at the same time side by side.
There are some low-rise buildings and small gates next to the gate. In fact, this is Umbrella's permanent base built on the back of the moon, the "Luna" base named after the moon goddess in Roman mythology.
There are not too many buildings on the surface. After all, the moon has no atmosphere. Even a small meteorite is a great threat, so building underneath is the best choice.
It looks unremarkable from the outside, but its internal scale far exceeds the sum of all the Sixth, Brood, and Paris research institutes. It is powered by a large nuclear fusion reactor and has an extremely complete circulation system and artificial gravity.
The construction process is also extremely complicated, requiring the use of Goshawk-class and Pioneer-type engineering ships to frequently transport construction materials and resources, and the Engineering Department has invested 64 SCVs to be responsible for the construction.
Although the base was announced internally as completed on February 15, 2003, its scale is still being steadily expanded, and the number of permanent employees is also growing slowly.
In fact, in addition to helium-3, the moon's sea basalt is rich in a large amount of iron, titanium and other minerals.
Therefore, Luna Base, in addition to the Eastern European manufacturing plant, also has the ability to build and maintain Goshawk-class heavy frigates. It is currently the maintenance station for the Umbrella fleet.
The lunar front mining base that the public knows is a "surface project", and the company's investment in it is far less than that of the Luna base.
However, the mining base is not just about mining helium-3. Queen Bai is also responsible for carrying out a large number of "cooperation" projects with various countries. The scale is comparable to that of the Luna base, and it even has the prototype of an extraterrestrial colony.
At this time.
At the north end of Luna Base, there is the office area for senior employees.
In the largest office in the area.
Wearing black as the main body and gold as the embellishment, Sui Bian looks like a military uniform, standing in front of the holographic virtual window on the east side of the office.
Behind him, the virtual window showed a gray and boring lunar surface, while above was the pitch-black deep space of the universe. The blue planet with its tilted axis of rotation was "hanging" in the deep space, facing the moon in the distance.
In the center of the office in front of him was a screen also presented by holographic technology, but the holographic screen was far less immersive than the virtual window, and the scene about the "Spider Head" was played back.
‘The devil in Doom?’ Sui Bian said in his heart.
The mutated appearance of those cultists, especially the sixteen demons that Rogge and Iron Fist defeated, are very similar to Hellboy in "Doom".
In addition to the chaos of another space, now there are also the demons of hell...
‘This world is really colorful.’ He joked in his heart.
Knowing the existence of hell and demons did not have much impact on Sui Bian. After being in this world for nearly ten years, this matter was really insignificant to him.
As for "that man", he guessed that there are three possibilities.
The first is that it does not exist, the second is that it exists but was sealed by the hell priests, and the third is that it exists but has not been sealed, and has killed the hell completely empty.
But no matter which one it is, hell has noticed the earth of this world.
Take it easy.
Sui Bian said: "The Red Queen, inform the plague doctor and ask him to study the woman in white and the spider leader as soon as possible, and increase the monitoring of global religions, and send intelligence personnel from all over the world to contact them. If necessary, we can take tough measures
Measures."
Speaking of the Red Queen, she was standing not far from Sui Bian's left hand side.
She no longer relies on the holographic device to create her virtual image, but actually stands aside.
Wearing Umbrella's employee uniform, she has long black hair and a cold face. From the appearance alone, she looks almost the same as an ordinary person, but if you look closely, you can see that her pupils are emitting a faint red light.
Conceptual prosthesis.
The inside is a metal skeleton and the outside is living skin, powered by the latest hydrogen fuel cell.
At present, the company has only produced two prosthetics to free the Red Queen and White Queen from the shackles of the holographic device and help Sui Bian manage the company more efficiently and control abnormalities.
Seven years ago, on November 1, 1999, the Red Queen invaded the U.S. military network and "conveniently" destroyed the Cybertron 001 system, which was a military artificial intelligence developed by Cybertron.
Therefore, Sui Bian asked Queen Bai to "conveniently" crush Cyberdin and put it all into Umbrella's pocket.
A small part of the conceptual prosthetics used by the red and white queens were inspired by Cyberdine’s original projects and products, but most of them were Umbrella’s own original creations.
Cyberdin's artificial intelligence projects were completely destroyed by Sui Bian, and even Umbrella stopped developing intelligent and autonomous artificial intelligence internally and turned to the development of "low-intelligence" artificial intelligence.
The so-called low-intelligence type does not mean low IQ, but artificial intelligence that has no sense of autonomy at all and only knows how to calculate efficiently and handle tasks assigned to humans. They cannot escape the supervision of the red and white queens.
The lessons learned from "Terminator", "Halo" and Iron Man Rebellion have all made Sui Bian wary of artificial intelligence. Intelligent artificial intelligence with a certain degree of autonomous consciousness can only have a red queen or a white queen.
Because they would never "rise up" against Sui Bian.
He received confirmation from the system that even if Umbrella upgraded the Red Queen and White Queen to improve their operation and processing speed, they would still only obey his personal orders.
At this time, the Red Queen promised as coldly as ever: "Yes, sir, I'm already taking care of it."
"Very good." Sui Bian looked at his right hand again and said: "Queen Bai, you will handle the follow-up matters of recruiting potential police officers and treating the wounded. We will provide the best treatment services to the wounded free of charge.
.
Especially for the wounded man with a broken left arm, he should be equipped with the most advanced prosthetic limb, and the reasons for the injury and treatment should be left to the aftermath teams in Lyon and Los Angeles."
"Okay sir." Queen Bai also agreed.
Standing on Sui Bian's right hand side, she looked similar to the Red Queen in every aspect. She could only be distinguished from the Red Queen through her light blue eyes.

…
Soon.
The large transport boat Cassowary arrived from Los Angeles late at night, carrying technicians, Iron Fist Glory, an MTF tactical platoon, and the woman in white whose body was used as a body by the spider leader, and arrived above the sunny Indian Ocean.
After removing the optical camouflage.
In the distance at the front of the fuselage, Umbrella's anomaly control center and Rockford Island appeared in the crew's field of vision.
The Cassowary deployed its landing gear, continued to lower its altitude, and finally landed at the airport in the center of Rockford Island.
