Chapter 508 New Discovery
The next morning, Queen Syndra, along with Duke Margaret and her four guards, departed on the X2 passenger spaceship. Li Chenglong, Yun Lan, and others personally went to the airport to see them off.
To ensure safety and proper etiquette along the way, Li Chenglong also ordered six Tyrannosaurus Rex fighter jets from the Dawn Army Air Force to provide escort.
After returning from the airport, the deputy director of the printing plant and several staff members personally delivered the more than 500 printed manuals. Li Chenglong examined them carefully and was very satisfied with the printing quality. He immediately instructed Hai Lianyi to send some to the Dawn Army headquarters and leave the rest at the Dawn Tower.
Just as Hai Lianyi stepped out, Teacher Lena walked in carrying a Noah 01 notebook-style crystal computer. She said with some excitement, "Li Chenglong, thanks to the joint efforts of Cecily and me in our lab, and with the information support from the Center's Information Management Department, we have finally discovered a place that appears to be a special forces hideout."
"What?! Is that really true?!" Upon hearing this shocking news, Li Chenglong couldn't help but sit up. Teacher Lena skillfully operated the computer, opened a video, and placed the Crystal Laptop on the table, explaining as she showed it to Li Chenglong.
It turned out that there hadn't been any new progress in the research on the space barrier these past two days, so Professor Lena simply put the work aside for the time being. While organizing her team's observational data of the universe, she unexpectedly discovered unusual spatial fluctuations.
Later, she contacted Cecily, Marina, and Zhao Liying, and used the space fleet, the Setan aliens, and the central computer of the central information management department to analyze the data. Combined with the spatial fluctuations obtained from the Anxi base and Europe, they finally discovered a place that might be the lair of special warriors.
Professor Lena said, "Currently, the entire area around Mars' orbit is shrouded in a huge black curtain, like an egg, covering everything within Mars' orbit. We can't go out, and people outside can't come in. Therefore, for the past few months, I have had my team use the remaining probes and telescopes in space to make observations, and now we have finally made a new discovery."
After watching the video, Li Chenglong asked, "So, teacher, is it possible to observe or learn any information about the nest you mentioned now?"
Teacher Lena shook her head: "Right now, we've only determined a general location and coordinates. The space there is very chaotic, with all sorts of strong interference. Neither our detectors nor our space telescopes can observe the specific situation. So, the current situation is that we have to send a team there to conduct close-up observations and investigate the situation."
She then changed the subject: "However, this trip will definitely be very dangerous. Not only will we be attacked by a large number of special warriors, but we may also be swallowed up by the unstable space around us. Even if we don't encounter the first two, there will be a lot of cosmic rays and radiation, which will cause great damage to our bodies. So we need to think about this matter carefully."
Li Chenglong sat down and fell into deep thought. After a while, he nodded and said affirmatively, "Go, we must go. We've finally made a new discovery, and we can't let the danger stop us from doing it. If this place can become a breakthrough, then it might be possible to break through the veil that surrounds us and re-establish contact with the Interstellar Alliance."
Lena nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "I knew you would say that. I will go with you. Having someone familiar with the coordinates with us will definitely have unexpected results."
Upon learning that his teacher would be going with him, Li Chenglong was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, teacher. With you joining us, it's truly like adding wings to a tiger."
Lena continued, "Since we're going, for safety's sake and for the convenience of our research, we'll be going on your Flying Dragon. Your Flying Dragon was built using the world's most advanced technology from Roland Star, and it's currently the most advanced spaceship, far superior in performance to the ships that Marina, Cecily, and I have."
She paused for a moment and continued, "Besides, it can't just be the two of us going, otherwise we might not be able to handle it if something unexpected happens. But in order to prevent those special warriors from attacking us after we leave Earth, we can't take too many strong people with us."
Li Chenglong thought for a moment and said, "How about this, teacher? You go back and make preparations first, and I'll give you a list tonight. We'll leave tomorrow morning or noon. What do you think?"
Teacher Lena agreed: "Okay, it's settled then. I should have a total of 5 people including myself. It shouldn't be too few or too many people. You can decide what to do."
After saying that, Teacher Lena put her laptop-type crystal computer into her psionic space and then left.
Li Chenglong sat there deep in thought for a long time before finally picking up his crystal phone and dialing a number. A while later, eight members of the Second Special Support Section for Information Processing of the Information Management Department arrived at his office.
Li Chenglong personally poured each of them a glass of black orchid honey water, then sat down, but remained silent for a long time. The women exchanged glances, wondering what had happened.
Zhao Liying spoke first: "Section Chief, you've summoned our Second Section at this time, there must be something you need to discuss. But your silence means this matter is either very troublesome or very dangerous. Since the day our Second Section was established, we have been prepared for any kind of battle at any time. Please give us your instructions."
The women looked at Li Chenglong and said firmly, "Yes, Section Chief, just give the order!" Li Chenglong looked at their determined eyes, let out a long breath, and then explained the situation in detail.
Finally, he said, "That's the situation. I originally wanted to transfer Yunlan's special forces, but considering they've just started their reorganization, it's not really suitable right now. As for the various units of the Dawn Army, they're capable of taking on two opponents at once in combat, but they're not quite suitable for carrying out our mission. Considering all these factors, I can only target you."
Li Chenglong is absolutely right. The members of the Second Division are basically all-rounders. They are not only proficient in the language of the universe and the special languages of planets such as Roland, Meilan, and Hailan, but also adept at operating and maintaining the Flying Dragon and Dawn. In addition, they are skilled in operating the latest weapons and equipment of the Dawn Army, and even the S1 and S2 transformable mechs are at a level where they can serve as instructors.
Besides possessing this knowledge, the eight members of the Second Division are also formidable. Two are Level 13 Awakened, two are Level 12 Tri-elemental Ability Users, and the other four are Level 11 Single-elemental or Dual-elemental Ability Users. Li Chenglong estimates that the Second Division's combat strength alone could easily defeat the two special warriors he had defeated the day before yesterday.
As soon as Li Chenglong finished speaking, all eight members of the Second Section stood up at the same time and said in unison, "We are willing to carry out this mission with our section chief!"
Having received this response, Li Chenglong said nothing more. He looked around and said, "Alright, you trust me, then I, Li Chenglong, will do my best to ensure the safety of each and every one of you! Meet at Dawn City Air Force Base at 10 a.m. tomorrow."
Now that the personnel issue is resolved, two problems remain. Li Chenglong first went to the 8th floor of the Dawn Tower and had a video call with Chen Guoqiang, the leader of the Chinese Communist Party, reporting his actions in detail. After learning about it, Commander Chen Guoqiang highly praised and supported Li Chenglong's actions, but also instructed him to pay attention to safety.
It was noon when the video call ended, just in time for lunch. Now that we've solved one problem and gained support from our superiors, the next step is naturally to get Yunlan's support.
Just as they were about to go home, Wang Xiao came in carrying a large food box. This was lunch for the four members of their department who were on the day shift. Because of the special nature of the 8th floor of the Dawn Tower, no one was allowed to bring them food; they had to go to the restaurant to buy it themselves at mealtimes.
