I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World Chapter 1582 – Geocentric Mine

Chapter 1582: Geocentric Mine

Project Trench was officially initiated.

Two Seagull-class transport ships set off from Celestial City, passed through the Star Gate hovering in the Earth-Moon system, and sailed towards Mars.

The two starships carried officers from the Earth Defense Alliance, senior space technology engineers who graduated from the School of Aerospace Technology at Coro University, and more than a dozen scientific researchers. Although their identities were different, all of them were there for the same purpose.

Their mission was to build a “trench” between the orbit of Pluto and the Kuiper Belt to defend against Harmony.

On this issue that determined the life and death of everyone, representatives from different countries finally gave up the endless debate.

About three days ago, Resolution 101 of the Earth Defense Alliance was finalized with the relevant details of Project Trench. This included the weapon configuration of this space fortress, the roles of each country in the project, and the obligations they should undertake.

Based on the plan formulated by Resolution 101, the entire project would be divided into three steps and would span twenty years.

The first step was to find a suitable asteroid in the Kuiper Belt, then tow 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 spacecraft hangars, and so on would be built on this asteroid.

Just like this, the two Seagull-class transport ships embarked on a new journey.

However, in addition to those related to Project Trench, there were two special passengers on the two starships that headed to the synchronous orbit of Mars.

Unlike the others, their final destination was not the Kuiper Belt, but Heavenly Palace City…

“Have you been to Mars before?”

“No.”

As Jiang Chen saw Lilith was looking at him in confusion, he cast a strange look at her, “Is there any problem with this?”

“Obviously, it is your city, but you have never been to it?”

“What’s so strange about this?” Jiang Chen laughed, “The leader of any country will not necessarily have traveled to all the cities under their control.”

“I see.”

Lilith nodded while she stared at the unchanging starry sky outside the window. She did not say anything more.

The two stood in front of the window in the corridor at the moment.

As for why they were here, it had to do with the conversation between Jiang Chen and Golovin I the other day.

When Golovin I told Jiang Chen that they had found the geocentric mine of the Gaia civilization, he was stunned. He then looked at Golovin I, who said this seriously, and as if he heard some funny joke, he started to laugh

“Are you kidding, a mine that existed for billions of years? Or a mine that is going straight to the center of the planet? You mean, in the past three billion years, there has never been a geological tectonic movement on Mars?”

Tectonic movement occurred more or less on any planet. Even if the tectonic movement of Mars was not active and no plate drift similar to that on Earth happened, but on the time scale of billions of years, even without active tectonic movement, the planet could still experience drastic changes.

The mine that drilled down to the center of the core was just like a 3,400 kilometers-long toothpick, it could be broken into two pieces with just a little force.

“There is no way to use the time scale to measure how advanced their technology is compared to ours. In our ‘hometown’, the geocentric mine of Gaia civilization is controlled by NATO. We only know that it is similar to a vertical mine with a transmission mechanism. No matter which direction the geological movement comes from, it can deform the mine, but it will never collapse.”

Transmission mechanism?

Because it was too abstract, Jiang Chen tried to imagine it in his mind, but still couldn’t get a clear picture of what kind of project it was that could fight the baptism of time.

“What then? What did you find inside?” Jiang Chen had set aside the questions in his mind and asked the topic he was more concerned about.

“We can’t get in.”

“Can’t get in?” Jiang Chen took a moment to process the information.

“Yes.” Golovin I nodded. “The entrance of the mine is a giant gate embedded in the ground. We tried to excavate the soil on both sides of the giant gate, but the mine is far more robust than we had imagined. In order to avoid irreversible consequences, we did not use more drastic means to break the gate.”

“Even you can’t find a way to open the gate?” Jiang Chen was in disbelief that the question burst out.

“On the contrary, we found the way to open the door.” At this point, Golovin I paused for a moment, and continued while he looked at Jiang Chen, “If our guess is correct, you are the only one who can open that door.”

When Jiang Chen heard these words, he was in a state of shock, and he asked subconsciously.

“Why is that?”

“Because in this world, you are the only person recognized by the guide,” Golovin I slowly said.

“The guide…?”

Is this what CCCP calls that person…or Gaia? Or is this the official naming?

When he heard Golovin I mention the word, the images of what happened that day appeared in his mind. The Gaia who walked into his memory, took him to experience the rise and fall of Gaia civilization over hundreds of centuries, and finally narrated the destiny of Gaia civilization in a voice without the slightest sorrow or regret.

Based on what Golovin I described, the first Flower of Memory was not open to everyone. Because it was the last trace of their existence, they had to carefully choose the right person to hand their inheritances.

Jiang Chen didn’t know what the Gaia thought when it met with the “new-born” Earth civilization and handed him everything, including their memory. He didn’t know why the guide chose him as the heir to these inheritances.

“If you are interested, you can come to Svetovid City.”

At the end of the conversation, Golovin I left him this message.

So, Jiang Chen embarked on a journey to Heavenly Palace City.

Because he didn’t know what would happen on this trip, he brought Lilith for safety purposes.

Even though he was reluctant to be so far away from the pregnant Sun Jiao, for Celestial Trade and the entire alliance… the significance of that geocentric mine was too critical.

For example, the small ball made out of strong interaction material, though planetary forging technology, was made in the deepest part of the geocentric mine.

It marked the highest achievement of Gaia civilization’s material science. If Celestial Trade could apply strong interaction materials on the armor of starships, then the Earth Fleet would be able to have a fighting chance against a civilization more advanced than Harmony, let alone Harmony.

“What are you thinking about.”

Lilith glanced over at Jiang Chen, who was in a daze as he stared out the window.

After his thoughts flowed back from his blank state, he smiled and said.

“I was thinking, I hope that thing will not disappoint me.”
