Shi Qiang was stopped at the boarding gate because his level was not high enough, and only Jiang Yu got on the plane.

The military plane was heading west, and Jiang Yu estimated that it was almost to Xi'an. He couldn't help but ask Chief Ji, who looked calm, "Chief? Are we going to have a meeting?"

Chief Ji smiled and said: "Instead of going to a meeting, you are going to eat?"

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Then what kind of meeting are we going to?"

"You'll know when you get to the place." Chief Ji took out a voice recorder: "I want to record the next conversation."

Jiang Yu and Chang Weisi didn't pay much attention. Starting three months ago, meetings and some conversations of the Space Defense Department began to be videotaped or recorded.

Director Ji turned on the recorder and changed the topic: "In the future, the space elevator is likely to 'tripolarize' the world. What do you think about this?"

The locations for the construction of three space elevators have been determined, one in China and one in Europe.

There is another one that will be built in the United States, and the United States is the most playful. It actually plans to build this space elevator on the Pacific Ocean in order to create a mobile space port.

Jiang Yu sighed: "Three movies are too many!"

"Too much?" Chang Weisi laughed and said, "Some people think it's too little!"

Jiang Yudao: "To be honest, projects like the space elevator have greatly exceeded our current engineering limits. Once the elevator is completed, it is estimated that the national living standards will return to the last century."

If he remembered correctly, as soon as the space elevator was built, the country returned to the food stamp era.

Jiang Yu continued: "I have long wanted to report it to the leaders. Although everyone is not so panicked now, all projects and plans are too eager and blind, always thinking of eating one bite and becoming a fat man.

"You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. The current lack of a rational overall plan and general policy development will waste a lot of resources.

"I remember there is such an interesting story in history. Napoleon once made himself an aluminum crown.

“In that era, aluminum was exclusive to European royal families and nobles.

“But when the electrolysis method appeared, aluminum immediately depreciated a thousand times.

“Everything has a step-by-step process, and some of the problems we are facing now may be easily solved in other industries by analogy.

"Everyone is anxious, but some unnecessary waste of resources should be avoided as much as possible."

Chief Ji thought about it for a moment before nodding: "The more trouble comes at this time, the easier it is for trouble to happen. I will report your suggestions to the top."

Jiang Yu returned to the topic: "As for the 'tri-polarization', it is inevitable. The three space elevators will even form a 'space geopolitics', allowing the future space power to evolve into three different camps."

For example, the Asian Fleet, the European Fleet and the North American Fleet.

Chang Weisi also said: "My view is similar to Xiaoyu's. At the beginning of building the space elevator, we must try our best to unite the forces surrounding us.

"We can even use space elevators to 'kidnap' some wavering countries to us."

Chief Ji nodded: "Your views are very consistent with the current international environment. At this time, it is more important to carry forward a style that is not hostile but cannot compromise."

Jiang Yu said with a smile: "Foreigners will fall in love with this style as soon as they hear it." He imitated Stanton's tone and said with a confused look on his face: "If you don't compromise, why can't you be hostile?"

Chief Ji and Chang Weisi laughed.

During the conversation, the military plane continued to head west, and finally landed at an air force base in the desert at around two o'clock in the afternoon.

Jiang Yu and the other three took the armed helicopter and continued flying. More than an hour later, Jiang Yu saw a large area of ​​military green tents in the desert.

You can't see the border of this green ocean, and it is estimated that tens of thousands of people are stationed here.

Jiang Yu even doubted whether any military action was going to be taken.

But considering that the Trisolarans have taken away most of the hatred between humans, although everyone will secretly scheming, it is impossible to do it openly.

Chief Ji suddenly said in the headset: "Look over there."

Jiang Yu and Chang Weisi followed his fingers and saw a huge open-air construction site, where trucks the size of matchboxes were transporting sand one by one.

A huge pit was dug on the construction site, and at the bottom of the construction site, there was a giant black rectangular object.

That kind of black is not deep black, but a soft black that looks very comfortable.

Moreover, this rectangle is not only large, but also very standard. Compared with the noisy construction sites around it, it looks like a rectangular plaster body among a pile of debris, giving it a "standard" aesthetic.

Jiang Yu couldn't move his eyes away at all, looking at this work of art greedily.

After his mind went blank for a few seconds, he thought, what is this? Where did it come from?

Chief Ji said: "Its code name is 'Black Fang', which is the purpose of our trip!"

Jiang Yu's mind was so chaotic that he even ignored the noisy helicopter engine.

Without saying a word, he followed Chief Ji off the plane and took a military vehicle to the construction site.

The "Black Square" is even more astonishing when viewed from a distance. It is about ten meters underground and is two to three kilometers long by visual inspection, with its length being twice as long as its width.

Chief Ji sighed: "It's spectacular, isn't it? It is 2.666 kilometers long and 1.333 kilometers wide, not even a micron missing."

"What material is it made of?" Jiang Yu finally recovered from the shock: "What material is it made of?"

"I don't know." Chief Ji smiled mockingly, and then said again: "I don't know!"

Chang Weisi also came to his senses and asked: "Who made this? What is it used for?"

Chief Ji said again: "I don't know!"

There was an unspeakable silence in the carriage. The driver followed a truck with "four in the front and eight in the back" and came to the "black square".

Black is very flat, and being in it is like being on a light black island.

The surrounding yellow sand is like yellow turbulent waves. They seem to be trying their best to bury "Black", but "Black" will always be an alien, making it impossible for the yellow sand to integrate it.

Jiang Yu had always felt that one kilometer or two kilometers was not too far, but when he stood on the "black square", he felt the length of a kilometer.

Compared with "Black", Jiang Yu felt that he, military vehicles, and trucks were all too small.

He asked: "What the hell is this?"

Chief Ji still replied: "I don't know. I just discovered it accidentally three months ago. The specific age cannot be determined."

Jiang Yu asked again: "Why didn't ETO expose the 'black side'?"

If the "black side" is exposed, I'm afraid the whole world will fall into chaos again.

Chief Ji smiled and replied: "We already have relevant countermeasures. Even if they are exposed, no one will believe it. I will explain this to you later."

Jiang Yu did not ask in detail, but pointed at Black: "How high is it?"

"We are still digging now." Chief Ji said: "But some people have speculated that its height should be 1.333 kilometers."

Jiang Yu suddenly laughed and said: "I always feel like 'Black' has eyes, looking at us indifferently, looking at human beings indifferently, looking at the sky and the universe indifferently."
