Alien Knights

Three hours later, Reston was on a military transport plane bound for Nevada.

Holding Alice who had fallen asleep, Clemens looked at the middle-aged soldier opposite the cabin.

The other party was reading the letter from the Russian geographer.

"Where are we going?"

Hearing Clemens' question, the middle-aged soldier didn't even raise his head: "I can't tell you."

"What will happen to us?"

Middle-aged soldier: "I can't tell you."

"What exactly do you want?"

"I can't tell you."

Clemens was silent for a moment and asked again: "At least tell me what I should call you."

The middle-aged soldier raised his head: "Major Cole, I won't object if you call me major."

Clemens first glanced at the uneasy looking Liz next to him, then lowered his head to look at the sleeping Alice, and said to Major Cole: "What crime did I commit? Even a death row prisoner knows his crime. power."

Major Cole looked at Clemens, raised the letter and suddenly said: "The person who wrote this letter is dead."

Clemens trembled and blurted out: "What did you do?"

Major Cole snorted: "Don't ask stupid questions."

Putting down the letter, Major Cole asked again: "Do you know the identity of the person who wrote you this letter?"

Clemens: "He and I met at a geography seminar in Los Angeles, USA. After that, we only exchanged letters on a few academic issues."

Major Cole, who carefully observed Clemens, found that the other man's expression did not seem to be fake, and his brows gradually wrinkled.

Finally, he said: "I can't be sure whether what you said is true or false, but I can eventually find a way to verify everything."

Clemens sighed, closed his eyes, and said no more.

Late at night, accompanied by the roar of aircraft engines, a military transport plane landed at a military base in the southwest of Yucca Flats, Nevada.

After the plane stopped, looking at a group of heavily armed soldiers guarding the hatch, Clemens hugged Alice tightly and said to Major Cole in an almost pleading tone: "Don't hurt them."

Major Cole made a gesture, and the two female soldiers walked to Clemens' side.

"As long as you cooperate honestly, I guarantee you their personal safety."

After hearing what Major Cole said, Clemens struggled and watched Liz and Alice being taken away.

Major Cole pushed the stunned Clemens and motioned for him to follow him.

Escorted by Major Cole and a group of soldiers, Clemens walked through the airport and headed deep into the military camp.

Along the way, Clemens became more and more frightened as he watched.

All kinds of strange equipment, almost sci-fi intelligent machines, and overly strict security measures.

After passing three artificial sentries and two biometric checkpoints, Clemens entered a building similar to an underground research institute.

The sight of researchers in white coats and heavily armed military security guards gave Clemens an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

After passing through several more security gates, Major Cole led Clemens to a wide monitoring hall.

Huge global surveillance screen, a dazzling array of scientific research instruments and equipment, and busy scientific researchers.

In Clemens' view, this place is like a combat command center in the future world.

Major Cole raised his chin and interrupted Clemens's sigh: "Go forward, General Hamilton is waiting for you."

With anxiety, Clemens came behind General Hamilton.

Major Cole stood up straight and said, "Sir, Professor Scott is here."

Seemingly not hearing this, General Hamilton turned his back to the others, looked at the huge screen in front of him, and said to himself: "This is really amazing, isn't it?"

Clemens followed his gaze.

On the huge multi-dimensional surveillance image screen, the map of the entire world is clearly visible.

The three giant black towers located in the Antarctic Peninsula, the Kola Deep Cave and the Mariana Trench are like three conspicuous red dots, flashing on the screen.

One after another, dotted lines marked with complex parameters spread out from the three giant towers, and finally converged at Groom Lake Military Base in Nevada, USA.

General Hamilton turned around. He was dressed in military uniform, with gray hair, a meticulously groomed beard, and a tall and straight figure, just like the most traditional soldier often seen in textbooks.

General Hamilton said to Clemens: "I have read your book and your paper. In my opinion, your research is more like a waste of national funds."

The harsh and harsh comments immediately made Clemens furious.

Before he could retort, General Hamilton said disdainfully: "I don't care about your research. Your dealings with those Russian bastards are what I care about most."

Clemens glanced at the big screen, took a deep breath, tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart, and said: "General, I very much doubt whether you can understand the theory in my book. If you are really like You speak so wisely, why is there such an obvious deviation in the marking of the center point on this map?"

General Hamilton was stunned: "Deviation? What did you say?"

Clemens: "The three towers are located in the Antarctic Peninsula, the Kola Deep Cave and the Mariana Trench. Their geographical center points are indeed located near Groom Lake. However, when calculating the exact location, the currently commonly used methods cannot be used to calculate the exact location. of standard geological databases."

"The standard database is updated every month. The last update was 22 days ago. There was no problem."

"But at the beginning of this month, a week ago, a seabed fault offset occurred in the New Hebrides segment of the Mariana Trench, causing deviations in the local geographical data, and these deviations were not timely. Updated to geological database.”

Walking to the screen of the world map, Clemens pointed to the center point of Nevada on the screen and said: "So, if the deviation caused by this seabed fault is included in the calculation, then the center point will be It needs to be offset to the northwest, that is, toward the center of Las Vegas..."

Before Clemens could finish speaking, General Hamilton interrupted him: "That's nonsense! Do you know how many experts there are here? If you just find any one, his scientific research results and books and papers will be better than yours." !”

"These people spent two years calculating this singularity explosion. How can the results of their work be understood by a layman like you?!"

Clemens's face turned red with anger and his teeth itched.

General Hamilton waved his hand: "Take this guy away."

Major Cole whispered: "I have read his research data, maybe it can be useful to us..."

General Hamilton raised his voice: "First of all, we must find out his suspicion of collaboration with the enemy! A guy who has correspondence with the Russian Baikaldo organization, his loyalty to the country is very doubtful!"

Major Cole signaled, and the soldiers grabbed Clemens by the arm and led him out of the command hall.

When he was taken away, Clemens did not resist, but said to Major Cole: "Time will tell everything."
