Chapter 1283 - Why didn“t you just ask me? (2/2)

In any case, he would not leave her alone in that world.

Lilith let out a helpless sigh, she knew she had no chance to persuade him.

“Well, then can you tell me what are you going to do in the next few days?”

“I’m investigating some things related to Pan-Asia Cooperation’s s.p.a.ce projects,” Jiang Chen said nonchalantly as glanced at Lilith. “You should have heard that Pan-Asia Cooperation had a research station on Mars. I want to know about that. The more detailed the information, the better. ”

“Oh, that,” Lilith nodded with the same expresssionless state, looked at Jiang Chen, and said, “Why didn’t you just ask me?”

…

NASA headquarters.

A group of workers wore headphones and worked busily and nervously at the computer desk. Behind this group, in addition to Bolden and the Deputy Director of NASA, several FBA agents in grey suits could be seen pointing around.

Intelligence experts appeared at NASA, a scene that was rare in the history of UA s.p.a.ceflight.

The reason why this happened was due to an incident that happened a few days ago.

Just a few days ago, several UA astronauts, stranded in the Mars colony, made their routine video call to their families. It was done on a monthly basis and under the supervision of Celestial Trade staff.

While the call was in progress, NASA staff members accompanying the astronaut’s relatives unexpectedly discovered that the astronaut named Jenny seemed to be using this opportunity to send a call for help subtly.

This phenomenon was discovered by Jenny’s family and they notified the NASA staff. Consequently, this immediately caught the attention of the authorities.

Jenny’s colleagues retrieved the record of her video call with her family members, played it over ten times, and found some unusual spots. After Bolden reported the incident, the authority sent FBA intelligence experts to a.s.sist in the investigation.

Sure enough, with the help of professionals, they immediately discovered where the problem was.

“Pay attention to the frequency of her blinking, fast blinking means short sound, and slow blinking means long sound. This is Morse code. Compare frame by frame, pay attention to every action and every keyword. Don’t let go of any details. ”

Soon, a code list of dots and dashes were transcribed.

Glancing at the pa.s.sword table, the intelligence expert from the FBA immediately picked up a pencil and scribbled down the translation result on another piece of paper.

“071, danger, new species,” Holding onto the paper, the intelligence expert walked next to Bolden and the FBA director. “Several possible errors have been deleted. The keywords that she repeatedly emphasized were these three.”

“Danger and new species are well understood. It’s likely Celestial Trade had disrupted another part of the ecosystem on Mars, but what does 071 mean?” The FBA director frowned slightly, then he said inexplicably.

Bolden’s brow scrunched slightly.

He vaguely felt that number was familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had heard it.

His eyes moved around the room. When his eyes fell on the face of a black colleague, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately looked at the FBA director.

“Mine 071… I remember it! Remember the James incident? The black employee who was killed by Devil Worms? I remember seeing in a report that he was exploring groundwater reserves at Mine 071.”

Because it was news in his field of work, and because he was a black man, the incident left a strong impression on Bolden.

After the FBA director heard Bolden’s words, he appeared stunned.

“The Devil Worm… Mine 071… new species, she means that Celestial Trade was again attacked by Martian species while they were developing Mine 071? And this time it was a new species other than the Devil Worm?”

“The same incident happened twice in the same place. Why are they so attached to Mine 071? Unless there is something there that is worth their attachment…”

When Bolden raised his head, he looked at the FBA director, who was also looking at him, and they both saw the unusualness in each other’s eyes.
