"Yes! You guys are lucky. There was a wind here a while ago. The waves were two meters high and we were not allowed to go out to sea at all!"
"Oh, really! That's quite lucky!" The speaker was a middle-aged man wearing beachwear. Judging from his appearance, he should be Asian.
"Yes, there are even luckier ones!" The captain is a white uncle who looks very cute.
"Oh? Tell me?"
"Here, have you seen that big ship over there?" the captain said, pointing to a large ship moored in the deep-water port in the distance.
The middle-aged man looked at it eagerly and said, "I saw it, what's wrong? Is it special?"
"Of course, that is currently the most advanced polar research vessel in the world, the 'Zhongyuan'. It was made in China, but it was sold to Canada last year."
After hearing this, the middle-aged man let out a long "Oh" and then asked, "Is there anything strange about this?"
The captain was delighted: "Don't you care about what the Chinese use when they sell their most advanced equipment to others?"
The middle-aged man chuckled: "What do I care about those people? I'm not Chinese."
"Oh, yes, yes, I almost forgot, but don't worry, you will be surprised later!" The fat uncle smiled mysteriously.
The middle-aged man was not happy: "Hey, I hate it when people half-talk, so you'd better tell me quickly!"
When the captain heard this, he couldn't hold back anymore. After all, he was his guest. He bit his pipe, took out a picture from the cabinet on the side and placed it in front of the middle-aged man.
"What is this?" Looking at the huge ship in the picture, which looks like an aircraft carrier, the middle-aged man frowned.
"Eh? How come you don't even know about the Weiyuan? That is currently the most advanced comprehensive mothership in the world!"
"The most advanced... and from China?" the middle-aged man smiled coldly.
The captain didn't notice his expression and just said cheerfully: "Yes, and it should arrive in Ushuaia today, and you can see it then. This is very rare!"
The middle-aged man was in a general mood. He patted the captain on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I'm still looking forward to it. Well, remember to wake me up when you get to the destination and I'll go take a nap first?"
The captain was stunned: "Hey, sir, what a beautiful weather, why did you go to bed again?"
The middle-aged man got out of the cab and left without looking back.
The captain shook his head helplessly, bit his pipe, and informed his crew: "Boys, the sails are set!"
"Yo!"
The two young men on the sailboat immediately lowered the main sail, and large sailboats like this are not common in the port. After all, it is already 2030, and this kind of old antique should withdraw from the stage of history.
However, classics are classics, and not everyone likes high technology.
The Asian man of unknown nationality who traveled to Ushuaia was one of them. He came here ten days ago with a travel agency, then quit midway and switched to traveling independently, and fell in love with this ship built in 1937 at the port.
Named "Sea Song", the "Sea Song" is fifteen meters in length and nearly six meters wide at its widest point. It looks like a water chestnut floating on the sea.
The owner of this antique boat is the owner of a bar near the port. He and his two sons occasionally sail the boat to take tourists out to sea, charging a high fee, but this time the guests spent generously and paid the full amount directly.
But there is one condition, that is, you must follow his lead
Come to a designated location with a chart.
At first, the boss thought it was another treasure hunter, but when he opened the chart, he found that he often visited that area, and there was nothing to find at all. He had never heard of an ancient ship sinking.
He agreed.
The "Sea Song" departed from the private port on the Ushuaia coast at around 7 a.m. on August 14, heading due south. It felt like it was going to the Antarctic.
But in fact, its final destination is not too far from the port. According to the experience of the old captain, in this sunny and windy weather, it can reach its destination at most around three o'clock in the afternoon.
Of course, the passengers on the "Sea Song" also knew this. He had calculated the time, and all that was left was to wait.
After returning to the cabin, the middle-aged man opened the suitcase he carried with him. After entering the password to unlock it, he opened it and found a military-grade portable computer inside. Devices like this are usually directly connected via special satellites.
Providing services.
After verifying his identity, the middle-aged man logged into a special website. The login interface of the website was very simple, but the five-pointed star was very eye-catching.
The login process was a bit slow. During this period, the middle-aged man pulled out a separate small box from the bottom of the suitcase and opened it. There was a pistol and two magazines inside.
Judging from the appearance, it was a P226 semi-automatic pistol with traces of modification, which is a common configuration of the U.S. Navy's special forces.
Taking out the pistol and loading the magazine, the middle-aged man held the gun to try the feel before putting it aside.
I had just put down my pistol and was about to light a cigarette when my cell phone rang.
"Hello?"
"We have taken off, when will you arrive?"
"Hiss... I'm still floating on the sea, but it shouldn't be too late."
"Okay, wait for our signal when you get there, don't act alone."
When the middle-aged man heard this, Weiwei sneered and said, "Do you still need to teach me?"
"Hmph... It's good that you know. By the way, after this operation is over, you go directly to Xuzhou to find the man named Liu and give him the contents of the bag."
The middle-aged man was a heavy smoker. After only three or two sentences, he had already lost one cigarette. He put out the butt of the cigarette with his fingers, rubbed it in the palm of his hand, and then replied: "I know."
I hung up the phone and logged in.
The all-Chinese interface did not affect his browsing. He quickly found a special entrance and entered the account number and password posted on the sticky note in the upper left corner of the suitcase.
An interface popped up. It was a military chart with more than a dozen cursors flashing on it, one of which was relatively large.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man showed a satisfied smile. He raised his hand and clicked on the cursor, then closed the suitcase.
…
At this time, the Weiyuan fleet, which was sailing on the high seas, began to change its course. It can be seen from the chart that they will move along the waters outside Ushuaia, and then go straight to the Antarctic continent.
After finishing the airport exercise, Li Shaoan returned to his office after making arrangements for Minister Chen and his party.
But Guan Dehou was sleeping soundly, and he didn't even know anyone had entered the room.
Li Shaoan didn't bother him, and was processing official documents alone at his desk.
It wasn't until around two o'clock in the afternoon that Zhuo Zhiwen came to report the situation and quietly kicked Guan Dehou as he passed by, causing him to suddenly wake up.
"Ouch, ouch, something happened?" Guan Dehou sat up, holding a chicken coop on his head, with a look of shock on his face.
No one paid attention to him. After Zhuo Zhiwen placed the document in front of Li Shaoan, she walked aside and stood quietly.
Guan Dehou rubbed his eyes and drank some water before he woke up.
"What time is it now?" Guan Dehou asked.
Zhuo Zhiwen: "A quarter past two in the afternoon."
"Huh? It's only two o'clock? I thought it was already night..." Guan Dehou felt dizzy, rubbed his temples and then said: "What happened just now? The ground shook?"
Zhuo Zhiwen didn't answer, took the signed documents and left, leaving only a scent of fragrance.
Watching that handsome figure go away, Guan Dehou cast doubtful eyes on Li Shaoan and asked quietly: "Old Li, what's wrong?"
Li Shaoan had a calm look on his face. After hearing this, he smiled faintly: "It's nothing, just daily debugging. Well, Lao Guan, how have you been feeling these past few days? You don't feel any discomfort, right?"
Guan Dehou shook his head: "That's not true, it's just that too many things have happened recently, which are a bit inexplicable and confusing."
"Oh...that's it..." Li Shaoan nodded, then stood up and took out a bottle of dry red from the bookcase, poured two glasses, and handed one to Guan Dehou.
"What? Is it confidential? Can't you tell?" Guan Dehou is a man who understands.
But Li Shaoan smiled and shook his head: "Actually, it's not a secret. Besides, I should have told you originally, so it's just right now."
"Oh? Then I have to listen carefully." Guan Dehou said and sat up straight, with a serious look on his face.
Li Shaoan put the cup aside, thought for a moment and said, "Do you still remember the operation we took to capture the AOA leader, right?"
When Guan Dehou heard this, his eyes immediately changed and became much darker.
"certainly……"
"Then do you know what the leader of AOA planned to announce to the world at that time?"
Guan Dehou shook his head: "I don't know, but I heard... it's related to factors?"
Li Shaoan smiled and sneered: "Yes, this is not groundless. It is indeed related to factors and involves many countries, including China."
Guan Dehou frowned: "What do you mean?"
After Li Shaoan paused for a while, he thought about it and reorganized his words: "Let's put it this way, for the general public, the discovery of factors is an accident. It is the lottery that scientists have drawn in the collider. This
This has become common sense and no one will question it."
After hearing this, Guan Dehou seemed to understand.
"But..." Li Shaoan smiled bitterly: "But in fact, the factor was not discovered by accident in the collider. Its discovery was actually related to a door."
"Door?"
"Yes, a door suddenly appeared in the center of Lake Don Juan. We call it the 'Dead Sea Gate of Sorrow'."
"Dead Sea Sadness Gate...hiss...this name is quite weird..." Guan Dehou laughed, but seeing Li Shaoan's solemn face, his smile immediately disappeared.
"You mean, the factor was found in this door?"
Li Shaoan shook his head: "No, to be more precise, after this door appeared, the factor was sent to our world."
"Send it to...here...it doesn't sound like it was done by aliens, right?"
Li Shaoan shook his head again: "Scientists from various countries have conducted in-depth analysis of the Dead Sea Gate and determined that it was born on the earth and did not come from outer space. In addition, we have not found any other advanced civilization left behind.
There are traces of it, so... we can’t yet connect the factors with aliens.”
