Chapter 1423

“…… This is your exit card. Please take it. "

"Thank you."

Taking the card from the customs officer, Professor Leonard politely said thank you, but the customs officer looked at the man behind him as if he hadn't heard.

"Next."

“……”

Atlantis space station is a transit station of North Sea alliance, whose coordinates are located in the zero time space section of the synchronous orbit.

As a human civilization, can't bionic man take the place of these works? Anyway, they are almost occupying most of the service industry, at least they can give me a smile

Professor Leonard, who was in a bad mood, thought, reaching over his watch and clicking, and exhaling a holographic interface.

"Where are you?"

In the holographic panel, a dark face occupies the video window and smiles at him.

"We have a little trouble here Don't worry. Does your proof really work? "

Looking at the boring smile, Professor Leonard said impatiently, "this is the proof from Oxford University that we are a regular scientific research team employed by the North Sea alliance government Really, is this your first time doing this kind of work? I'm beginning to doubt your professionalism. "

"Cough! Please don't doubt, we are just a little worried. After all, as you know, the security situation in the colony of Mars is very bad, and the false evidence is very strict okay! We are here! "

Not far away, a big man with dark skin waved at him, smiling with two little brothers and a bionic employee, came to him.

"Hey, man! Nice to meet you! "

After turning out the business card from the bag and reading the image information inside, Leonard raised his eyelids and looked at him and the three employees behind him.

"Mammoth digging company?"

"Yes, my name is Jim. These two are my assistants from Hughes in North America and Shinichi Tanigawa in East Asia. The bionic man in the back doesn't need to worry. Although he looks a little old, he has a lot of functions, especially the ability to operate the drill. "

Introduced by his boss, the tall North American and the skinny Pan Asian beside him nodded to him.

After introducing his staff, Jim looked at Professor Leonard and grinned.

"As you can see, we are as strong as mammoths and as good at making holes."

Leonard: " Mammoths don't make holes. "

And it's all machines, and he doesn't need them to be strong.

"Cough! This is not the point, "he said, fooling the past. Jim awkwardly raised his calloused hand and patted Professor Leonard on the shoulder." let's go to Mars. As long as we can help you find those treasures, it will prove our profession! "

As he said this, Jim waved and walked towards the gate with two employees and a bionic man behind him.

He looked at the back of the group strangely. I don't know why, Professor Leonard suddenly worried about the trip to Mars

……

It is said that a century ago, about the beginning of the 21st century, it would take at least two to three weeks to travel from earth to Mars, and there is still a window period and non window period.

Born at the end of the 21st century and growing up in the 22nd century, Leonard can't imagine how anyone can tolerate such a long journey.

You know, at that time, people lived less than 80 years on average.

In particular, this journey not only has no Internet, no entertainment in any sense, and even no bathing.

Dr. Leonard, who landed on the surface of Mars through the elevator and moved his sore shoulders and arms, finally got his feet on the solid ground as the tourists walked down the gangway.

“…… It's finally at the station. "

The airport terminal is located on the edge of the city. Through the customs connecting the buffer room, they will be in the city as soon as they leave.

Leonard raised his head. The first thing he saw was a hemispherical aerogel film, which hung over the city.

, like the dome of a greenhouse, has a large circle of land, which is thick enough to circle the earth. It blocks the energy rays from space, and plays the role of the atmosphere. It keeps the clean air in the city and brings a "blue sky" to the residents in the city.

The interior of the city is even more amazing. It seems that the designers have brought the spatialism to the extreme and drained every inch of land of its last value.

One by one, these alloy paved pipes connect with tower like buildings to form the road network and building complex of the whole city.

Between the gaps of the tower buildings, we can see the green landscape designed by genetic engineering, thriving in this exotic land.It is difficult to sum up the grandeur of the city in one sentence.

It's like an oasis in the desert, a beacon to disperse the night.

In fact, it is also true. As the largest Pan Asian cooperation city on Mars, the Mars colony named Tiangong city is not only the most developed and expensive area on Mars, but also the place with the best security on Mars.

As for why we should pay special attention to public security

This will be mentioned later.

"We have a rest here for one night. After the cargo is unloaded from the transport ship, we will set out for the archaeological site immediately."

"OK, you are the boss. You has the final say. We'll dig."

The big black man named Jim squeezed his eyebrows and made a gesture of making a hole. This vulgar action not only made Leonard's eyebrows twitch, but also let the Pan Asian police on duty standing nearby cast their attention to this side.

With a hook on Jim's shoulder, Leonard lowered his voice and whispered in his ear.

"I hope you don't make trouble. The nearest colony of the North Sea alliance is 100 kilometers away from here! If we were repatriated there, our plans would be in vain! "

The action was only reported to the North Sea alliance, without the approval of Pan Asian cooperation, and they did not even submit a written application! If we let the Asians know, they are not a delegation of mining companies at all, but come here in the name of archaeology, and the remains of Martian civilization are excavated, so they will not be released.

"Yes," Jim said with a sorry smile. "Don't worry, those Asians won't bother us with this little thing. Let's go. Let's find a hotel first."

"I have booked the hotel online."

Although the network on Mars and the network on earth are relatively independent LANs due to the delay, the data on both sides are still connected.

No matter booking or shopping, only a terminal that can connect to the network can be easily completed.

Wearing ar glasses, Leonard quickly found the capsule hotel he had booked, according to the signs.

After a night's rest, they arrived at the exit the next day. After providing proof, they put on light extravehicular space suits and passed through the buffer room on the edge of the city, and came to a piece of empty space filled with cement.

Here are mammoth diggers' Rovers and excavators.

Just look at these two kinds of engineering equipment, and the logo on it. What does Leonard think? It's not like their own equipment, it's like renting it.

“…… Are you sure these devices are yours? "

"Well, of course Any questions? "

He stared at the big black man for a while. Although Leonard wanted to force him to tell the truth, he thought it was all there. Even if he hired other construction teams temporarily, it was too late.

What's more, his project has been cancelled by the president. This archaeological operation is entirely at his own expense. He can't afford to hire other more expensive and reliable looking construction teams.

With a sigh and a hand on Jim's shoulder, Professor Leonard lowered his voice.

"OK I hope you are professional. What we are going to dig is the remains left billions of years ago. We must be very careful. Once something goes wrong, it will be an unbearable loss for the whole archaeology! "

Jim grinned, still the standard answer.

"Don't worry, boss, I guarantee that the relics of Mars civilization will be dug out as soon as they are buried!"

Even though there are ten thousand worries in my heart, there is no room for me to turn back.

The group got on the bus, followed Leonard's map from the hilder mining company employee, drove to the side of a rift valley, and stopped in front of an abandoned mine hole.

At the entrance of the cave, you can see the signs and simple barricades left by hidel mining company, but from the abrasion and dust on the surface, it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time.

"Are you sure it's here?"

Hearing Jim's inquiry, Leonard points out the hologram map on his watch, carefully compares the geomorphic features nearby, and finally looks at the suspicious mine hole.

"It should be here."

In fact, according to the agreement between him and the netizen who called himself "dr.z", the first time they came to Mars, they should first meet in Tiangong City, and then act together.

But

Out of selfishness and self-confidence in his ability, he did not abide by the agreement.

Academic things are full of intrigue. He thinks it's necessary to teach a lesson to a fool who puts his chips on the table like this.

Looking at Professor Leonard, who is facing the map, Jim and two employees look at each other and exchange weird expressions on their faces.Professor Leonard frowned at the three people who were still.

"What's the matter?"

"Nothing..." There was an unnatural smile on his face. Jim shrugged his shoulders. Then he looked back and saw two of his employees clapping their hands. "Guys, start working."

Construction on Mars is not the same as on earth, because of the different gravity environment and air density, many applicable experiences on earth are not necessarily applicable here.

Strictly speaking, it's impossible to dig anything just by using the small drill behind the rover.

But fortunately, the sidle mining company, which did not know whether it was bankrupt or moved, has drilled the hole to a kilometer deep underground, and even left a simple magnetic track deep into the mine, which can be said to solve more than half of their problems.

So what they have to do is to widen the mine to a certain extent according to the direction marked on the drawing.

The drilling vehicle was removed from the back of the rover. With the cooperation of the bionic human driver, the three "professionals" he hired soon entered the working state.

Although these people look unreliable, they are unambiguous when they start to work.

After reaching the deepest part of the abandoned mine hole, the drill bit in the front part of the drill truck starts to start.

With a cart of earth being transported out of the hole, in just an hour, a spiral downward passage will continue to push the abandoned mine hole to a depth of tens of meters.

As he was changing the drill, Jim went to Professor Leonard's side and dusted his face.

"Are you sure there are treasures of Martian civilization?"

"Treasure?" Hearing the word, Leonard frowned. "I don't remember saying that there are treasures there, but there are many precious relics Be careful when you dig. If you find any artificial structure, please stop and call me to go. "

"Oh, I see Don't worry, "the big black man named Jim smiled," if you dig up the treasure, we will definitely ask you to come and have a look. "

Just then, a surprise shout came from the communication channel.

"Boss! We got a tunnel! It's not like hidel mining left it. It's like Remains of Martian civilization

Before Jim could respond to the voice in the communication channel, Leonard jumped off the engine cover of the rover.

"Tunnel? How wide is it? Wait, you guys stop I'll see for myself! "

After all, regardless of Jim's surprised expression, he rushed into the mine alone and went down the spiral path to the bottom of the mine.

I saw Professor Leonard behind me. The American named Hughes jumped out of the copilot's seat and walked towards him.

"Doctor Did we dig somewhere? I'm not sure I want to move on. "

Ignoring him, Leonard stepped forward quickly, walked to the side of the cave and squatted down. He fumbled along the edge of the cave for a while, and suddenly a look of excitement appeared on his face.

"Come on, move on! This is it! "

The American named Hughes nodded his head in a hurry, and was about to turn around and order the bionic man sitting in the driver's seat to start the drilling machine. However, he did not expect that the drilling machine was out of control and moved by himself.

The hard rock wall was smashed, and the huge drilling machine rushed down the slope, and plunged into the opposite wall. The old-fashioned bionic man in the cockpit also bumped on the steering wheel as if it had broken.

"Shetter Why did it fail at this time! As expected, the special second-hand bought things must not be good! "

Chasing the runaway drill car into the cave, watching the damaged cockpit door, and the bionic man on the steering wheel, Hughes swearing, then looked at Professor Leonard behind him, switched the communication channel and muttered a few words.

"See what you've done!" Looking at the broken rock wall and entering the cave, Professor Leonard angrily complained, "well, such a large piece of damage, I just hope you haven't hit any precious cultural relics or specimens! No one found out that we did it! Otherwise, wait for the lawsuit of public prosecution! "

Ignoring Hughes standing next to the turning car, and Jim, Professor Leonard, who was catching up with him, with his flashlight in his hand, he continued to explore the past towards the cave.

The tunnel was too deep to see at a glance, but he could feel something in front of him.

After turning over a disordered pile of stones, he soon saw a silver white metal rectangle about two people high and one step wide, lying across the wall.

“…… That is! "

Dr. Leonard widened his eyes and couldn't believe looking at the metal artifact in front of him.

Tell him directly that it can't be the equipment left by hidel mining company, let alone other humans.He bet they were the first to get here!

In this case, there is only one possibility

"The treasure of Martian civilization!"

On the channel, there was Jim's annoying voice. Professor Leonard frowned and corrected it discontentedly.

"It's a cultural relic! Can you, a fool, just say the second half of the sentence and swallow it in his throat.

Because when he turned around, a black hole had been pointed at him.

The Adam's Apple moved up and down, and the expression on Professor Leonard's face changed from dissatisfaction to tension and fear.

He didn't know why the guy had a gun, let alone what he wanted to do.

He only knows that if that fool pulls the trigger, even if he rubs a layer of skin on his spacesuit, he will die completely.

Looking at the expression on the old professor's face, Jim, who holds the electromagnetic pistol in his hand, smiled thoughtfully.

"What can I do?"

"I mean, I'm a fool. Can you Help me see what this is? "

Stuttering, Professor Leonard shivered. His back was soaked with sweat. Even the suit's temperature control system couldn't calm him down.

This feeling of being pointed at by a gun is the first time for him.

This explanation, however, did not seem to satisfy Jim.

I saw the big black man smiled and continued to talk like a joke.

"It sounds like an order."

"Please..." Kneeling on his knees, Professor Leonard held his hand over his head and pleaded, "I'm not good. I shouldn't have called you..."

"Come on, my dear friend."

I went to Professor Leonard's body and squatted down. Jim, with a cruel smile on his face, patted his mask gently with the muzzle of the gun. "My friends and I still have to thank you. If it wasn't for the archaeological work certificate you issued, it would not be so easy for us to leave the earth through the customs of the space station Atlanta."

The expression on Professor Leonard's face was dead when he heard that.

Those who can say this are either fugitives on earth or air thieves running between Mars and Jupiter asteroid belt.

Although he has always heard that Mars is a paradise for criminals, he can't believe it. Such a thing happened so skillfully and was met by a mere scholar of his own

"Originally, we planned to say goodbye to you in Tiangong city. We just wanted to use you to escape the pursuit of Interpol and start a new life on Mars. But since you mentioned the remains of Martian civilization, there must be some valuable antiques in it, and we need a sum of The start-up fund for starting a new business, "said Jim, laughing, as if he was intoxicated with his intelligence. He looked down at the metal cuboid lying on the ground." I didn't expect that I was really in the right place to bet. "

“……”

Professor Leonard didn't respond at all, just hung his head like a dead man.

He knew that he could not live any longer, and there was no reason for these outlaws to let him go.

It's like looking at the prey on the chopping board, Jim said casually, admiring Professor Leonard's face at close range, his index finger rubbing the trigger of the electromagnetic pistol.

"Now, my dear Professor Leonard, if you can use your knowledge to introduce to me what the coffin like metal box is and what price it will probably sell for, maybe I can make you go a little faster."

Professor Leonard's lips moved, but at last he did not speak.

Seeing his unresponsiveness, Jim sighed and stood up again.

"Well, you seem to have made a choice."

As he spoke, he took a dagger from his waist to cut the rope.

Professor Leonard closed his eyes in despair. Just as he was ready to die, he heard a shot.

The gunshot seemed to have come from far away, and had been floating in the cave for a long time.

Then with a thud, something fell to the ground.

Slowly opened his eyes, Professor Leonard saw that it was not himself that fell on the ground, but Jim.

Just when he was wondering whether the unlucky egg had been eaten black by his own people, he saw a bionic man with blood all over his body, like a devil coming from hell, slowly coming from the other end of the cave.

The shivering feeling climbed up the back of his head, and Professor Leonard sat back on the ground shivering, his face like a ghost.

Civil bionics

Attack humanity?!

He had never heard of such a strange thing.

The plot of sci-fi blockbuster doesn't matter, but it's impossible in reality!This is not only a matter of being locked up in the procedure, but also if there is an accident of bionic human injury, the company that produces the bionic human will not only be prosecuted to bankruptcy, the whole production line will be abandoned, and the legal person will face the disaster of imprisonment!

“…… Who are you? "

It's like not hearing his problem. The bionic man shakes the blood on his arm.

Walking to Jim's body, he picked up the electromagnetic pistol that had fallen there from the helmet that had been hit by a bullet. After looking at it, he stopped at his waist.

At the same time, the cold electronic sound came from the communication channel.

"Danger, eliminate."

Inexplicably, a feeling of fear came into my mind.

Thinking of the "Dr. Z" who never showed up, Professor Leonard suddenly felt like a chess piece, from landing on Mars No, it should be said that since I saw that paper, I fell into someone's trap and was led by my nose all the time.

Swallowing his saliva, he looked at the bionic man coming, summoned up all his courage, and asked gingerly.

"Your master Who is it? "

"Is that Dr. Z?"

He thought that the bionic man would not care about himself, but he didn't think that this time it had a reaction.

Although there is only one short sentence

"It's none of your business."
