Chapter 308

——The Great Basin Desert, the largest desert in North America.

It covers more than 500000 square kilometers, including most of Nevada, more than half of Utah, and a small part of Idaho, Oregon, California and Wyoming.

When it comes to this desert, Las Vegas is the first thing most people think of.

In 1888, it was just a small town. In 1905, because of the discovery of gold mines, a large number of gold miners poured in. However, like other gold mining towns, after a short period of excitement, with the gold mines being emptied, Las Vegas soon returned to its previous depression. Its real rise was in the great Shaw of the United States, when the state legislature passed the legalization of gambling bill, which established the city in the desert The city has become a gambling city with nightclubs, hotels and casinos.

Unfortunately, Zhang Heng did not come to Las Vegas this time.

The plane landed at area 51 air force base, which was newly built more than a decade ago. It is located on a dry river bed in Nevada, only 130 kilometers away from Las Vegas.

For decades after its establishment, the United States denied its existence, but at the same time, in order to prevent the curiosity from approaching, the air force bought 9000 acres of surrounding land and established it as an air traffic control area and an armed restricted area.

Area 51 was originally used to develop U-2 reconnaissance aircraft. After the completion of the development of U-2 reconnaissance aircraft, other "black" projects began to be implemented in this base. However, it was not until 2013 that the United States recognized the existence of area 51.

Many people believe that the so-called "green house" (in which there is a frozen corpse of an alien, all previous US presidents will come here to visit, and some people swear that they have seen a small, big gray creature moving nearby) is also here.

However, Zhang Heng's three people obviously don't have this kind of eye blessing. They are not met by strange aliens, but by a person in charge of the air force base, who looks very ordinary. After shaking hands with Zhang Heng and others one by one, he said that the simulation environment has been built and can be trained at any time.

The captain rarely showed humanity. Considering that the sun has set, he finally put the training time to tomorrow morning.

After dinner, the three people got the chance to have free activities, but it's free activities. In fact, the places they can go are very limited, and basically no matter where they go, they have eyes staring at them.

The person in charge of the reception also made a special apology for this, reiterating that this move was not aimed at them, just because they were carrying out the most basic security alert.

Zhang Heng and others understand this, but it's impossible to do something in the base. At least they will be safe until tomorrow morning.

This result is not unacceptable, for the three people, this may be their last sleep. After eating, Jia Lai took a deep look at Zhang Heng, nodded to the latter, and dropped the sentence "see you tomorrow." Having said that, I was not in the mood to take a walk under the whole process monitoring, and took the lead to return to my room.

Seeing that Jalai left, Bruno quickly got up and followed the fat man to his room. However, he watched the door close in front of him and almost hit his nose.

Bruno looks a little embarrassed. The fat man clearly doesn't trust him and doesn't discuss the plan for tomorrow with him. It seems that he is just ready to use him as a tool, but it has to be said that his judgment is really accurate.

Bruno wants to know about Jalai's plan in advance. He just wants to see if there is any place to use. It's better to kill them together. Now that he's shut up, he can only go back to his residence.

So only Zhang Heng was left in the dining room. Zhang Heng quietly ate the last spoonful of baked beans in front of him. At this time, the sky outside the window was dark, the wind rolled up the yellow sand, and the blood red sunset fell under the sand dunes. Even if he was in the threat of survival and was about to face the final battle of life and death, it was hard to ignore such a magnificent scene.

"Magnificent desolation, isn't it?" A strange voice said.

"Sorry?" Zhang Heng turned around and saw a middle-aged man dressed as an engineer. It seemed that he was a researcher from area 51. He came behind him and laughed. Instead of continuing the previous topic, he asked, "are you a NASA astronaut? I heard you are going to the moon."

"David." Zhang Heng introduced himself. He put down his knife and fork and held out his hand. "We are members of Apollo 11, but strictly speaking, we are only candidates."

"Einstein." The middle-aged man shakes hands with Zhang Heng, who raises his eyebrows. Zhang Heng has never seen a picture of Einstein when he was young, but when the middle-aged man says so, Zhang Heng does find that their eyebrows are somewhat similar.

But then the latter released his hand and laughed, "I'm kidding. You know the nature of our work. We signed a confidentiality agreement before we came here. We can't disclose our real name to others. How about Mr. David? Are you satisfied with us?"

"You seem to have done a good job.""So do you. As early as 60 years ago, no one thought that human beings could fly in the sky in a big iron bird. Ten years ago, no one believed that human beings could leave the earth and go to outer space. Even today, most people still don't think that human beings can set foot on another celestial body."

Einstein stopped, "but it all happened, with the help of mathematical formulas, those mechanical principles, repeated experiments Human beings have accomplished those seemingly impossible things over and over again. Isn't this a miracle in modern society? I don't want to be disrespectful to the man who led the Israelites to build their country, but I have to say that technology is the greatest force in the world. "

Typical engineering students' comments, but in a sense, it is difficult to refute.

"I'm sorry to disturb your meal. I just heard that NASA astronauts are here, so I can't help but come and have a look. You know," the middle-aged man shrugged. "No one usually comes to this place. Anyway, nice to meet you, Mr. David."

"Nice to meet you, too, Mr. Einstein."

"Well, don't delay your rest time. I wish you a smooth training and a successful landing on Apollo 11. I will listen to your radio on the moon."

The middle-aged man finished the short conversation, holding his mug in his hand, turned and walked out the door, when the sunset was completely under the horizon.

But when he came to the door, he stopped and said, "Oh yes, I almost forgot to say that I have a small gift for you, as a gift for our first meeting. It's in your room. I hope you like it."
