God knows how big this Area 52 underground base is. The elevator went on for another five minutes before it finally stopped.
After the elevator door opened this time, the world that appeared in front of Chen Feng was a completely different world.
In the center of the spacious curved metal dome hall, was placed the twin-axle ship.
Under the bright lights, the extremely streamlined twin-axle ship shone brightly.
This ship is said to be a wreck, but its appearance is intact and as new as ever.
The appearance of the ship is like a sailboat supported by two floating plates on the left and right.
The straight-cylinder engines on each side look like two torpedoes.
The engine is 33 meters long and is a closed structure with no turbine inside.
Chen Feng is very clear about the structural principle of this engine.
The front half of the straight cylinder is a force field generator.
The principle of the force field is somewhat similar to that of a curvature engine, but its performance is average, and its ability to isolate cosmic dust is poor. Its maximum speed is only one-third of the speed of light, and its acceleration time is outrageously long.
The back half of the straight cylinder is a jet engine, and its main jet medium is the residual reaction material after the battery is burned to supply energy.
Yes, although this is an antique, it also has a dual-engine structure.
Counting the third anti-gravity engine, it has three engines.
The crew cabin is in the middle, and it is an olive-shaped structure with a length of 25 meters.
From time to time, a few researchers in coats patrol around the ship with instruments, and then put the instruments on to test the materials.
Chen Feng simply glanced at the ship and didn't pay much attention to it.
Instead, he focused most of his attention on the structure of the underground base itself.
There are dozens of doors inside this hall.
Obviously, there is more than just this hall in the underground base.
He carefully observed the dome structure again, and subconsciously deduced the base structure, lighting, ventilation system, supply of living materials and so on.
Although Chen Feng drove a biaxial ship in the 31st century, the underground base was gone at that time. He was very sorry that he could not see the true appearance of Area 52 base that countless people in the 21st century wanted but could not get.
Well, he actually had the desire to voyeurism.
"Mr. Chen, as you can see, this is Area 52, the most mysterious and cutting-edge research area in the world. We have more than a thousand elites from all walks of life working on the research project to crack this alien ship. I bet that no one on this planet knows more about aliens than us." Mendelssohn said proudly.
Obviously, he had carefully prepared a welcome speech before Chen Feng came.
But he got stuck right after he finished speaking, because he realized that Chen Feng's description of quantum materials in "Madman's Conjecture Collection 3.0" truly and accurately portrayed the material nature of the outer ship.
Mendelssohn believed that Chen Feng had never seen this ship, and had never known that there was such a terrifying material in the world that could self-repair across space. He found the core of the problem just by deducing from a theoretical perspective.
This is the skill of a true master.
I am just showing off my skills in front of an expert. It is a joke.
Chen Feng paid attention to the scale of one thousand people he mentioned, and thought for a moment. This means that the construction cost of Area 52 is at least tens of billions of US dollars, and the annual operation and maintenance cost will reach hundreds of millions of US dollars.
This does not take into account the investment in cutting-edge analytical equipment, which is inestimable.
If this base is built on the ground, the construction cost can be saved by at least 70%, and the operation and maintenance cost can be saved by 50%.
He expressed his sadness about this.
Only thieves will always imagine others to be thieves, and would rather burn money to keep the confidentiality work to this extent, for fear of being discovered by other countries in the world.
What a reason.
"Mr. Chen, this is part of my analysis report. I did not find any offensive weapons in this ship. Take a look at this half-life report. This is the age analysis of the impact terrain below when we found the ship's hiding place."
Chen Feng looked down at the report in his hand. There was nothing new. He knew everything.
Mendelssohn was still analyzing excitedly, "As early as 10 million years ago, this ship had already been on Earth. And it didn't carry any weapons, which supports my argument. I think the civilization behind this ship is full of goodwill towards humans. It should be an observation station, and it may also be leading our civilization forward invisibly."
Chen Feng did not comment, and then pretended to be ignorant and asked: "What about the people inside?"
"No one, no corpse. We inferred the size of the aliens based on the structure of the chair. It is unmanned, but was placed on Earth, with a similar function to the probe we put on Mars."
Chen Feng spread his hands, "Okay."
Mendelssohn believed that the argument that the universe is friendly is supported here.
Chen Feng agreed with part of his views. The Mi people are indeed quite friendly.
But good people don't live long, and evil will last for generations.
Of course, the Mi tribe may have been destroyed by a worse villain before they could do anything bad.
Chen Feng knew more.
The biaxial ship had indeed settled on the earth tens of millions of years ago, and reached 75 kilometers underground.
The crew of the ship had long since left, but the intelligent computer inside it was not shut down. Instead, it quietly monitored the world through neutrino scanning, and then the intelligent computer would transmit the collected information back to the Mi tribe's home planet through the quantum network, or somewhere else.
Chen Feng was not sure whether the Mi tribe's ships played any important role in the birth and evolution of mankind.
However, future researchers generally believe that the Mi tribe ships firmly played the role of pure observers, commonly known as doing nothing.
The ship's energy supply mainly depends on the spread solar light wings.
Millions of years ago, the Mi tribe civilization was forced into a tragic war with the compound eye civilization and was eventually defeated and destroyed.
Since then, this biaxial ship has lost contact with the Mi tribe's main control computer and has become an ownerless object.
Perhaps from that time on, the Earth has entered the field of vision of compound eye civilization.
But at that time, humans were just upright apes who had just learned to collect wildfires. The Earth was in a complete civilization vacuum, and it was not even worth being kept in captivity.
However, although the biaxial ship lost its operator, its intelligent computer still faithfully executed the observation instructions.
In 1947, the biaxial ship should have left the Earth and returned to the Mi tribe base as planned.
It quietly drilled to the ground and floated into the atmosphere, while sending signals to the mother planet or base through the high-frequency quantum network, waiting for positioning and traction.
Something happened.
It did not wait for the signal from the mother planet or base, and encountered extreme lightning weather at night.
Because of the long years of lurking underground, the ship's energy was insufficient. After being hit by lightning many times, it was hit by lightning many times again, automatically activating the shield, and finally causing insufficient energy supply.
It began to prepare to return to the earth's surface according to the predetermined self-protection procedure, while spreading its solar wings to recharge with the night light, and will take off again during the daytime of the next day to escape the atmosphere.
But the Black Swan Effect continued to take effect, and during the fall, it was concentrated by anti-aircraft missiles.
If the shield energy was sufficient, the destructive power of this anti-aircraft missile would not even be enough to tickle it.
However, at this time, it just lost its shield due to insufficient energy.
The missile destroyed its solar wings and directly caused it to fall into the city of Rossville, where it was "captured" by the Federation Army.
This is the complete analysis of the world-famous "Rossville Incident" that Chen Feng saw a thousand years later, and he added his own speculation based on his understanding of the Mi people, and finally came to the conclusion of the analysis.
Master Chen believes that this is basically in line with the facts.
While chatting, everyone walked under the biaxial ship.
Chen Feng looked at the open door of the ship's crew cabin and praised it, "Not bad, no wonder you knew there was no weapon system inside. By the way, how did you open this door?"
Mendelssohn said a little embarrassedly, "It was blown up in a nuclear test. The door was seriously damaged at the time, but it still repaired itself. But opening and closing are both normal for it, so we kept it open. If it is accidentally closed, it may have to be blown up again."
Chen Feng rolled his eyes and wanted to give Mendelssohn a thumbs up.
You are so cruel, you are not afraid of being blown up.
Well, he finally knew the secret that could not be found in historical records a thousand years later.
The door was opened by a nuclear test.
Okay, very cool. I guess it must be
because this matter was too embarrassing that no paper documents were saved and it was only passed on by word of mouth. "Okay. If the artificial intelligence in the Mi Tribe ship completely shuts down and destroys its data because of exhaustion of energy, then your bombing will definitely be a great achievement." Mendelsong's old face turned redder. Ellen was particularly good at capturing the information in Chen Feng's words, and asked quickly: "Mi Tribe?" Chen Feng coughed lightly, "An alien race that we don't understand is like a puzzle, so I just named them the Mi Tribe, what do you think?" Ellen and Mendelsong nodded at the same time, "Great." The assistant even quickly took out a pen and paper to write down the name "Mi Tribe". Several people entered the cabin. The wall structure is a silver-white metal that feels cool and silky to the touch. Mendelssohn introduced: "This metal is incredible, it seems to have life." Chen Feng smiled and did not comment. If the artificial intelligence inside is still "alive", then in a sense this ship is really a life. The space inside the cabin is very narrow and compact, and there is no living area. It is all filled with workshops with various integrated equipment. The door of the workshop is very narrow, only half a meter high and only more than 20 centimeters wide. It is obviously not for people to enter, but more like a common inspection port on industrial equipment. Chen Feng knows why. In fact, under the crew cabin of the Mi tribe's ship, there is a storage room filled with robots of various models. If there is a problem with the equipment in the functional room and manual repair is required, the Mi tribe should be able to control these robots through brain waves to drill in and perform semi-manual and semi-intelligent repairs. However, the embarrassing 21st century scholars could not blow open the door of the storage room, so they didn't know it at all. They couldn't conduct experiments directly inside the ship, that would be too weird. Walking a little further inside, everyone leaned over, drilled through a small doorway, and finally entered the cockpit. The cockpit of the Mi tribe's ship is completely different from that of human ships, and there is no visual field at all. Later technical personnel analyzed that the visual imaging mechanism of the Mi people's body may be different from that of humans. Humans always maintain a high degree of dependence on naked eye observation, while the Mi people are more superstitious about cameras, or data references provided by monitoring equipment. Six or seven people squeezed into the cockpit, which seemed very crowded. However, the space inside the cabin was different from that of human aircraft in the 21st century. There were no complicated operating instrument panels at all, only a few strange metal balls. In front of the ball array was a small chair. The chair was a hard pure metal structure, and the comfort of people sitting on it was terrible. The technicians also speculated and simulated the body shape of the Mi people based on the shape of this chair. Mendelsong placed his hand over a sphere, and hundreds of tiny arcs like silk threads appeared on the sphere. "Mr. Chen, you can try it. This arc will make your palm numb. We speculate that there may be information transmitted from it, but we can't identify it." Chen Feng's pupils shrank slightly, and he finally became interested. He knew this arc very well. It was a means of neural connection, and there was indeed a lot of information in it.
But by the time humans could read this information in the 28th century, the sphere was already just a sphere, without any reaction.
This phenomenon means that the intelligence in the ship has not completely stopped!
He quickly pulled Mendelssohn's hand away, "Don't touch it, don't waste energy! Let me do it."
