757 The Placement of the Space Elevator (1/2)
In the modern world.
237 nautical miles east of Ange Island was Xin's territorial border. Going further southeast was the vast international territory without a single island nearby. However, because of the recent application for the mining of manganese nodules, Future Mining used a construction vessel and dragged an offshore platform to this location.
However, it was strange. After Future Mining left the offshore platform alone in the sea, there was no sign of work starting. Other than a few soldiers patrolling the location and several workers, there weren't even mining equipment.
What is Future Group planning to do?
It was undoubtedly the UA that was the most curious after they started extensive monitoring after the completion of Penglai City. While curious, they could not ask directly. Then the Capital used its usual tactics to disclose this information through an official who wished not to be named, and then let these reporters go find the news.
However, Future Group apparently did not take the reporters' bait. When the reporters asked about the offshore platform of Future Mining, the answer was the same one—”Legal activity. No comment.”
The ”disguise” of Future Group actually made the public more curious. For the time being, all kinds of rumors began to sprout. Each of the keyboard warriors analyzed the actions of Future Group and searched for their deeper motive. Some people said that Future Group was building a second Penglai City, and some people said that they were building submarine cities. Some people even said that they discovered the remains of aliens under the sea...
Public opinion was easily led to odd places.
What is Future Group really doing?
Everyone was curious about this problem...
...
”What is that?”
On the offshore platform, Calvin, the CEO of Celestial Trade Aerospace Space Technology Institute, glanced over the platform at a board 20 square meters long. From the appearance, it didn't look like solar panels, he really couldn't think of the functionality of this thing.
”The anti-satellite laser array. It is too cumbersome to explain. In short, the spy satellites on our heads can only see a luminous spot of more than a dozen square kilometers. The radio signals they monitor will just become white noise. ”Jiang Chen patted the fence on the platform and smiled at Calvin. ”This is one of the top secrets of Future Group. Now you still have the chance to go back.”
”But it will make the curious me unable to sleep at night.” Kelvin shrugged and followed behind Jiang Chen.
The Droplet stopped at the offshore platform, but Jiang Chen obviously didn't plan to look at this bizarre submersible.
After entering the Droplet, Jiang Chen established a route on the holographic screen, and then opened panoramic imaging, turning the whole Droplet into a real water drop, transparent inside and out...
”Stunning technology.” Calvin reached out and touched the wall, his fingers poked the steel plate. ”It is the first time I have seen such a magical underwater submersible vehicle... Is this the top secret?”
”Do you think this needs to be kept a secret?” Jiang Chen laughed.
Calvin also laughed.
It made sense, this was nothing more of a secret compared to all the technology Future Group introduced. Even in Penglai City, Jiang Chen did not hide anything from the media during its construction. Halfway through the project, he began auctioning off the property on the artificial island.
Obviously, there was something incredible hidden underneath the sea.
