A military camp area in Lop Nur, western Xinjiang.
Major general Chen Zhongyuan once again glanced at the time on his wrist watch. He didn''t know what was happening and his forehead was full of water droplets.
"The appointed time is coming..."
It will be December in a few days. This desert area is not only dry, but also cold different from the Central Plains.
No, just after a gust of wind, Chen Zhongyuan couldn''t help shivering.
Hurriedly stretched out his hand and wiped his forehead. Only then did he find that the sweat on his forehead was cold.
He tightened his tight military uniform. Chen Zhongyuan looked aside. A young sergeant in the same military uniform was waiting there.
"What''s the situation on the radar? Have you detected a suspicious target?"
"Report to the chief, no abnormality is found!"
Chen Zhongyuan nodded and frowned.
Nothing. This should be the worst news now.
Chen Zhongyuan originally worked in a department of the security division of the Beidu garrison. Because his ancestral roots were Miao Hong and he had performed well in the army for more than 20 years, he was one of the young and strong groups that the military was focusing on training. Therefore, he was specially transferred to the "4728 project" as the person in charge. Therefore, he became one of the few people who knew about the project.
The so-called "4728" means the date of establishment of the Yellow River Station.
Because this project is to cover up the product of contact with extraterrestrial creatures that may come to the earth, each participant is an elite transferred from various domestic departments and military enterprises and institutions. Even for the sake of confidentiality, many people, including Chen Zhongyuan himself, have been carefully investigated.
A burst of hurried footsteps soon came from behind. Chen Zhongyuan quickly turned his head and looked, his eyes brightening.
The visitor was also a young officer. He came from a camp with hurried marching steps.
"Report, I just received an inquiry call from the head office. The heads of the central government are still waiting for us..."
"I see. Please convey it to the leaders immediately. No suspicious target has been found yet!"
"Yes!"
The young officer quickly turned and returned to the camp. Chen Zhongyuan looked up and looked at the sky again, shaking his head helplessly.
Half a month ago, when he was suddenly invited by his superior and told him that he would be assigned an important task, Chen Zhongyuan was both excited and excited.
However, when, as expected the next day, he was not transferred to Zhu rihe, but was picked up by a military vehicle from the general staff, what happened next made Chen Zhongyuan wonder whether he and this country were cheated by hackers.
Unexpectedly, someone told him that aliens came to the earth and contacted China through the Arctic Yellow River Scientific Research Station, saying that they wanted to make a deal with China.
God knows, even if he is appointed as the person in charge of this project, so far, Chen Zhongyuan is still very skeptical about the authenticity of aliens.
However, personal doubts do not affect the will of the state.
Chen Zhongyuan also knows that if everything is true, China, which has been suffering from the technological blockade of European and American powers for more than half a century, is no less than mastering an opportunity to overtake in a corner.
Therefore, even the above can clearly realize the risk.
However, the central government allocated a special part of the finance from the finance. At the same time, after comprehensive consideration, the military finally selected the deserted Lop Nur area and used it as a meeting place after the renovation of the camp used to be used for nuclear test workers in the past.
In order to prevent accidents, the military not only arranged some combatants around the camp, but also blocked 30 kilometers near the camp, and there were other arrangements around.
Of course, these are just unavoidable precautions.
If aliens really come to the earth and are willing to contact China, the enthusiasm of this country will definitely make other countries feel ashamed.
Time, in waiting for the passage of a second.
Chen Zhongyuan couldn''t sit still in the camp. He stayed in the camp and walked around from time to time. His sight never moved away from the sky. He seemed to want to find those suspicious traces with the naked eye.
In the camp, communications from all sides kept coming.
"... it is reported that the radar has not found any abnormality according to the news from Guangdong and Guangxi!"
"No abnormality was found on the strategic early warning radar..."
With the arrival of the agreed time, more and more communications are coming from all over the country.
Chen Zhongyuan''s mood gradually sank to the bottom with one communication after another.
"I''m afraid it''s really a scam..."
His eyes kept looking at his wrists. When the time display had less than 30 seconds left and he had never seen the so-called alien life coming to the appointment, Chen Zhongyuan couldn''t help but have a look of anger on his face.
He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lit one for himself. He was depressed and uncomfortable.
Chen Zhongyuan knows that in addition to himself and others here, there are countless pairs of eyes in the whole of China. Now they are paying attention to here. Even if it were not for security reasons, a head of the Central Committee intends to be present in person to contact aliens.
Now it seems that they may have encountered a series of tricks and jokes!
I couldn''t help looking up at the sky. I didn''t let those grievances and anger in my heart turn into tears.
However, Chen Zhongyuan didn''t want to. When the time in his wrist watch came one second before the appointed time, on the vast open space in the camp in front of him, a dull sound of heavy objects falling from high above suddenly sounded.
"What? What sound..."
Chen Zhongyuan subconsciously turned his head and looked at the place where the sound came from. He immediately saw the open space in front of him. On the flat ground built with double fast cement, a pair of huge footprints could be seen, and several cracks scattered from the footprints.
"Footprints? Is it..."
In his eyes, the cigarettes in Chen Zhongyuan''s hands fell to the ground. He didn''t notice it himself. His eyes and attention all focused on the open space in front of him, where the footprints suddenly appeared.
It was not just him. The sound of heavy objects falling on the ground suddenly attracted most of the attention of the whole camp.
Two teams of armed soldiers with live ammunition rushed to protect Chen Zhongyuan''s vicinity. At the same time, several infantry combat vehicles that were on guard all the time also arrived soon, cooperating with the establishment of a guard line nearby.
It seemed to be aware that everyone''s eyes were all focused on themselves. At the footprints, there was a sudden flash of lightning.
With the flicker of electric light, a burly and ferocious figure of mechanical soldier gradually appeared in front of everyone.
