I handed over to another world

Chapter 761: The Sea of ​​Abyss

Li Mingwei stood on the dome observation platform of the lunar base, overlooking the once barren land through high-strength nanoglass.

The once grayish-white lunar surface is now covered with emerald green. The artificial atmosphere glows with a faint blue light under the sun, and the artificial ocean in the distance is sparkling. Several devices that look like cruising lunar starships are now hovering over the sea.

This is the core control console area of ​​the lunar base, which is also known as the Red Dragon's [Second Special Zone]. Of course, their favorite name is [Moon Palace] - this does not refer to the Moon Palace in ancient mythology, but the actual lunar base.

"The temperature is 22°C, the humidity is 65%, and the atmospheric composition is 98.7% similar to that of Earth."

The AI ​​housekeeper's voice rang in my ears, "The first batch of immigrants have adapted well, and no adverse reactions have been reported."

Li Mingwei nodded and asked the AI ​​housekeeper, "The environmental transformation here is quite good. Which research team is in charge of this project at the association?"

"Reporting to Supervisor Li, the Moon Palace project is managed by the Red Dragon Association's Moon Palace Environmental Research Institute. They are fully responsible for the environmental transformation of the moon and the design of the base."

“It’s quite astonishing.”

Li Mingwei nodded and turned to walk towards the control center. Passing by the ecological park along the way, he saw plants from Earth thriving in the artificial gravity field. Many of the plants could not even be named, but they were still lush and green and looked to be growing well.

The green appearance made him feel much better. As he walked forward, he saw a group of children led by their teacher to visit the lunar farm. They pointed excitedly at the huge space greenhouse where genetically modified super crops were grown.

"Supervisor Li, the Earth headquarters sent the latest data."

The assistant who followed him handed Li Mingwei a holographic report at this time, "The number of applicants for the fourth batch of immigration exceeded 500 million, of which 80% came from Europe."

Li Mingwei nodded slightly and his eyes fell on the main screen of the control center.

The data streams of the four planetary development agencies are interwoven into a network in space. The lunar base "Guanghan Palace", the Mars base "Zhurong", the Jupiter satellite base "Wangshu", and the Saturn satellite base "Xuanming" are all operating synchronously.

The names of these special bases were changed later. At first, their names were very simple. After all, a few years ago they were just for simple exploration and experimentation.

At this time, Chairman Chen Lin was also standing in front of the holographic star map in the Shangdu office. The data streams of the four development agencies were intertwined into a network in space. Behind him, Zhang Fengwu, director of the Planetary Development Agency, stood aside with a copy of the latest immigration report in his hand.

"The transformation of the lunar base is proceeding faster than expected."

Zhang Fengwu smiled towards Chen Lin and said, "According to this progress, we can complete the initial transformation of the main planets in the solar system within five to fifteen years."

"As expected."

Chen Lin nodded slightly, his eyes still fixed on the holographic star map.

The data streams from the four bases flickered with faint lights, symbolizing the gradual expansion of humanity's footprint in the solar system.

He turned around and looked at Zhang Fengwu, his tone calm and firm: "The progress of the lunar base is indeed gratifying. How is the progress of the transformation of Mars, Jupiter's satellites, and Saturn's satellites?"

Zhang Fengwu quickly called up another holographic report, and with a swipe of his finger, a data stream unfolded in the air.

Pointing to the "Zhurong" logo of the Mars base, he said: "The transformation of the atmosphere on Mars has entered the second stage, the surface temperature has risen steadily, and the melting rate of the polar ice caps has exceeded expectations... It is expected that within ten years, Mars will have preliminary large-scale habitable conditions."

"But judging by the data, water management on Mars is still a challenge, and we need more ice mining equipment."

Chen Lin frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "You can discuss the issue of resource allocation with the relevant departments of the association to ensure the supply of materials to the Mars base."

"And what about the moons of Jupiter and Saturn?"

Zhang Fengwu nodded and continued to report: "The underground ocean exploration work of Jupiter's satellite 'Wangshu' is progressing smoothly. We have confirmed several locations suitable for establishing deep-sea bases... However, radiation protection there is still a problem and requires further technological breakthroughs."

"As for Saturn's satellite 'Xuanming', its environment is relatively harsh, but we have established several small observation stations on the surface, and the preliminary geological exploration data has been sent back. We will analyze it later and then decide on detailed modifications here."

After listening to this, Chen Lin sighed softly: "The transformation of the solar system is far more complicated than we imagined. Every planet has its own unique challenges..."

Zhang Fengwu nodded in agreement, and then added: "There is another good news, President Chen. Our deep space exploration fleet has discovered several asteroids rich in rare minerals in the Kuiper Belt. If we can successfully mine them, it will provide huge resource support for our planetary transformation plan."

Chen Lin smiled and clapped his hands, saying, "This is indeed good news. When the time comes, we can open the portal and directly carry out the mineral transportation project... Send more people to organize a special team to evaluate the feasibility and risks of mining. You have to make a note of this."

"I understand."

The two discussed the specific details for a while until the office's AI assistant reminded them that the next meeting was about to begin.

Chen Lin took a last look at the holographic star map, his heart filled with expectations and a sense of responsibility for the future.

"Director Zhang," Chen Lin turned around and said firmly, "Our goal is not only to transform the solar system, but also to open up a new home for mankind... No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we must persevere."

Zhang Fengwu nodded solemnly: "All members of the Planetary Development Agency will do their best to live up to the mission."

"I have a meeting here, so I won't say more."

Chen Lin waved at Zhang Fengwu, and Zhang Fengwu immediately and clearly stated that he wanted to leave Shangdu and return to the headquarters of the Planetary Development Agency in the outer suburbs. Chen Lin had no intention of keeping him.

Chen Lin walked quickly into the conference room. The holographic projection was already turned on. The conference table was filled with high-level members of the Red Dragon Association and several representatives from the Elf Valley.

The elves' attire was completely different from that of humans, they wore light silver-white robes, their skin glowed with a faint fluorescence, their ears were pointed and elegant, and there was a hint of worry in their eyes.

"President Chen,"

An elf representative stood up and spoke in a clear and pleasant voice, "Our Elf Valley monitoring personnel have detected abnormal energy fluctuations in the Abyss Sea. This fluctuation is very similar to the 'Abyss Anomaly' thousands of years ago... If left unchecked, it may lead to catastrophic consequences." Chen Lin nodded, motioned for the elf representative to sit down, and then looked at the holographic projection in the center of the conference table.

The projection showed a map of the Origin Star. The area of ​​the Abyss Sea was marked in crimson, with data streams of energy fluctuations constantly flashing in it.

When he was working at Anyun Base on the Origin Star, he already knew about the problems in the Abyss Sea. Under normal circumstances, the Abyss Sea is dormant, like a dormant volcano.

But now this dormant volcano seems to be about to erupt. Once the things from the bottom of the abyss come out, it will definitely have an impact on the Red Dragon Association's industries on the Origin Star.

"Everyone," Chen Lin said in a deep voice, "Origin Star is one of the core planets of our Red Dragon Association, and it is also our most important strategic stronghold besides Earth!"

"The abnormal movement of the Abyss Sea not only threatens the safety of the Elf Valley, but may also cause irreversible impacts on the entire ecosystem of the Origin Star. We must find out the cause as soon as possible and take action."

The head of the Red Dragon Association's Science and Technology Department stood up and pulled up a detailed data report: "According to our analysis, the frequency of the energy fluctuations in the Abyss Sea is gradually increasing. The source seems to come from an unknown energy field deep under the sea... The nature of this energy field is different from any energy form we know of. It may be a device left behind by some ancient civilization, or a naturally formed energy node."

"No matter what the situation is," another senior member interrupted, "we need to send an elite exploration team to the Abyss Sea to conduct a field investigation. Although the monitoring system can detect a lot of data, it cannot conduct a detailed exploration of the seabed."

The head of the Science and Technology Department nodded and said, "We are willing to provide technical support, including deep-sea detection equipment and energy analyzers... But the environment in the Abyss Sea is extremely harsh. Ordinary detection equipment can hardly withstand the high pressure and energy interference there. We need some time to modify the dedicated facilities."

After listening to the report from the head of the Ministry of Science and Technology, Chen Lin frowned slightly.

He was well aware of the dangers of the Abyss Sea, especially the fact that the elves in the Elf Valley were not unfounded in their hostility towards it.

According to the historical records of the elves that he had first seen on the Stuttgart continent, the Sea of ​​Abyss was once the nightmare of their ancestors, and some kind of power dormant there almost destroyed the entire Origin Star Continent - and the Sea of ​​Abyss was also the source of Freya's dark elf bloodline.

"Time is of the essence,"

Chen Lin said in a deep voice, "The association must act as soon as possible. The Ministry of Science and Technology will immediately start the modification of deep-sea exploration equipment. At the same time, we will dispatch the Red Dragon Association's most elite deep-sea exploration team to assist you."

"Representatives from the Elf Valley...can you provide some historical information about the Abyss Sea and detailed data on its energy fluctuations?"

He looked at the dark elf beside him. The elf representative nodded, took out a crystal ball from his robe, and pushed it gently. The crystal ball floated in the air, projecting ancient pictures.

In the picture, the water of the Abyss Sea is as black as ink, and huge shadows can be vaguely seen swimming deep in the seabed, as if some ancient giant beast is awakening.

"This is an ancient record of our Elven Valley,"

The elf representative explained, "There is something called 'Abyss Stone' sealed deep in the Abyss Sea. This thing is extremely corrosive. Once it is driven by the power from the Abyss and surges out, a large area will be affected."

Chen Lin stared at the screen, feeling slightly uneasy. He turned to look at the head of the Science and Technology Department and asked, "How long will it take to modify the detection equipment?"

"It will take at least three days," the head of the Science and Technology Department replied. "I will immediately mobilize all available resources after I return to ensure that the modification is completed in the shortest possible time."

"Okay," Chen Lin nodded, "The exploration team must set off in three days."

"At the same time, notify the Anyun Base on the Origin Star to strengthen the defense measures around the Abyss Sea to ensure that energy fluctuations do not affect the continental plates."

"I see."

……

After the meeting, Chen Lin stood alone in front of the holographic projection and stared at the area of ​​the Abyss Sea. He knew that if the seal of the Abyss Sea was really broken, the consequences would be disastrous - at least it would cause an extremely exaggerated pollution. Although this kind of pollution might not be something that the Red Dragon Association could not handle, if this thing could be strangled in the cradle, the consequences would obviously be much lessened.

Two days later, the Red Dragon Association's Science and Technology Department completed the modification of the deep-sea exploration equipment with amazing efficiency. The task that was originally supposed to take three days was completed ahead of schedule thanks to the hard work of all staff members working overtime.

The modified detection equipment can not only withstand the high pressure and energy interference of the Abyss Sea, but is also equipped with the latest energy shielding system and real-time data transmission function, ensuring that the detection team can complete the task safely and efficiently.

Chen Lin looked at the exploration team standing in front of the portal, ready to go, and felt somewhat emotional - after he became a high-ranking official, he was not even allowed to go to the Origin Star according to the association's regulations.

The most he can do now is to watch the holographic projection of the outside world in real time in Shangdu.

Chen Lin sighed slightly in his heart, and then looked forward again. The entire team members who were about to set off to the Abyss Sea were wearing special deep-sea protective clothing, the goggles on the helmets flashed a faint blue light, and the equipment boxes behind them were filled with various high-tech detection instruments.

Their expressions were serious and determined, and they were obviously prepared to face all unknown dangers.

"Everyone,"

The voice of the new person in charge of the Red Mountain Base was transmitted to the ears of every team member through the communicator. "The importance of this mission is self-evident. The abnormal movement of the Abyss Sea may threaten the safety of the entire Origin Star and even affect the Earth! Your mission is not only to find out the source of the energy fluctuations, but also to assess the potential risks and find solutions as much as possible."

"Remember, safety first! Every member of our Red Dragon Association is irreplaceable!"

The leader of the exploration team nodded and responded in a deep voice: "Understood! We will definitely complete the mission and live up to our mission."

As the energy fluctuations of the portal gradually increased, the exploration team stepped into it one by one.

With a flash of light, their figures disappeared into the portal, and the next moment they appeared at Anyun Base on the Origin Star - and inside the base, a support team had been waiting for a long time, and they would provide logistical and technical support to the exploration team.

"lets go!"

As soon as the personnel on the scene saw the team enter, they immediately spoke into the intercom. (End of this chapter)
