Chapter 1585: Planet’s Core and Portal

In the center of Heavenly Palace City, on the colony square.

This was the last stop on the itinerary after Jiang Chen, Hong Zewei and the other leaders of Heavenly Palace City toured the entire city. Based on the arrangement, Jiang Chen would deliver a speech at the square to all the employees of Celestial Trade stationed on Mars and the citizens of Heavenly Palace City…

For Jiang Chen, he was used to giving this type of speech, so when Hong Zewei asked him thoughtfully if he needed help to prepare a speech, Jiang Chen politely declined.

He had already thought of his speech when he was on the space elevator.

When the host handed the microphone to him, Jiang Chen looked at the packed crowd, as he recalled what he had seen on the space elevator and started to smile.

He didn’t use any impassioned or provocative tone but began like a small talk. After a two-second pause, he spoke in a relaxed voice.

“Standing in the orbital module of the space elevator, I never thought that everything I saw today would surprise me so much.”

“The future of Heavenly Palace City is the future of all mankind. I have no need to guide you. The problems that I can think of have all been solved. Therefore, standing here, all I want to say is one sentence.”

“I am proud of you.”

The voice fell, and there was thunderous applause from the audience.

Jiang Chen smiled and nodded to the enthusiastic citizens.

The girl who held flowers in the audience stepped forward and handed a bouquet to him. Although he knew it was likely an arrangement made by Hong Zewei, he still felt touched and moved by the scene.

After the speech, everyone in the square dispersed. Jiang Chen followed Hong Zewei to the hotel in the colonial center. This place was designed with the layout of a five-star hotel on Earth and was typically used to host VIPs who visited the city.

He rested one night in the colonial center.

The next day, Jiang Chen, accompanied by Lilith, Hong Zewei, and others, went to the meteor crater 100 kilometers away from Heavenly Palace City.

When his rover arrived at the destination, Golovin’s vehicle had been waiting for a long time.

After he got off the rover, he walked into the mining area.

When he spotted B City Steel Group’s sign on the mine, he turned his head and looked to Golovin I, then asked.

“This place is?”

“The switch.”

After Golovin I finished the sentence, he stepped forward and slowly raised his right hand.

Light blue particles of light emerged from his palm and floated towards the oddly shaped building behind the mining area. Light blue rays started to emerge from the triangular-shaped figure in the center. Accompanied by muffled noises from the bottom of their feet, the cracks that extended from top to bottom slowly opened.

Jiang Chen cast a look of surprise behind him, then he focused on the triangular pyramid building that opened and spoke out.

“Is this the relics of Gaia civilization?”

“No, this is the entrance we built. It leads underground.” Golovin I shook his head. “The relics of Gaia civilization are located two kilometers below. If the data recorded in our database is correct, then the switch to the geocentric mine should be right under our feet.”

“Is it just a switch?” Jiang Chen frowned, “I thought you found the entrance.”

“Of course, the entrance has been found,” Golovin I raised his head and looked at the distant horizon. “It’s there.”

Behind the endless sand dunes, the raised Olympus volcano stood abruptly, like a shield raised towards the sky.
