Chapter 2572 The Mystery of Mars 2
The great migration of the Huaxu Kingdom began.
The six regions are like six strong arms, simultaneously pulling inwards and moving closer to the Central Plains region.
The transportation lines, supply lines, and migration routes of the entire continent were stitched back to the heart, one stitch at a time, as if by someone using extremely fine silver needles.
The residents and industrial areas on the periphery were uprooted, packaged, and pushed inward in batches.
Large, cold-resistant transport aircraft, the F-37, skimmed low over the frozen plains, carrying crowds and equipment like swarms of ants.
The dismantled heavy machine tools, energy refining chambers, medical stations, incubators, and ecological warehouses were all escorted inland.
There were no wails on the streets, nor the panicked screams of the early apocalypse a few years ago.
Everyone's faces were quiet.
No one asked "Why are you leaving?" and no one complained "This is our home".
Everyone knows that now is not the time to talk about nostalgia.
Now is the time to talk about "survival".
This evacuation was not accompanied by any pushing or shoving or military boots; it was more of a proactive, collective retreat.
The Huaxu Kingdom is putting itself into a shell.
Wrap the muscles inwards and protect the blood vessels towards the heart.
"The six major regions are moving towards the Central Plains, with Tianhai City as the core. That will be our new central region!"
"Give up the outer perimeter, and save your life."
This phrase was repeated many times on the military channel.
At the front of the relocation queue, some junior commanders responsible for reassuring the troops were speaking into a loudspeaker:
"Don't worry, there will be new cities later."
"Old houses can be rebuilt, but if you lose your life, you lose everything."
It was a crude remark, but nobody found it offensive.
On the contrary, it sounds like a sense of security that makes people feel grounded.
……
At the same time, the alien tribes surrounding the Huaxu Kingdom also witnessed this scene.
After all, with such a large-scale migration, it would be difficult not to see it.
They had originally been thinking about how to balance their relationship with the Huaxu Kingdom, now that they were embedded in its territory.
Now, Zhang Yi has actually voluntarily given up almost all of the territory in the outer areas—although in this high-tech era, the size of territory no longer has much significance.
But it is clear that not every ancient civilization was technologically advanced.
For example, the Fang Wolf Clan and the Zhu Rong Clan, in order to strengthen themselves, gradually degenerated their technology to avoid over-reliance on it, and eventually became like the Cang Yuan Clan, who were half-human and half-machine.
Therefore, they were very satisfied with Huaxu Kingdom's initiative to back down.
The Ironclad Clan's patrol scouts stood on a high ground smoothed by the icy winds, overlooking the migration route of the Huaxu Kingdom.
Those humans are withdrawing from the edge, voluntarily leaving behind a large uninhabited buffer zone.
They exchanged views through their respective means of communication.
"They are shrinking their territory."
"They're making way for us."
"It seems that the six generations are still quite sensible."
"Hush, don't boast. This six-generation kingdom is very strong! They are no weaker than us, especially their leader, Chaos. We need to feel their sincerity, so for the time being, don't disturb their migration."
The Celestial Clan's wind pillar swept across the sky, emitting a low sonic wave, as if conveying a message:
"They knew they did not have border sovereignty, so they retreated first."
"In this way, the next phase of friction can be avoided."
The surrounding small and medium-sized ethnic groups also breathed a sigh of relief.
Many of them did not actually want to fight a direct battle with the Huaxu Kingdom.
Especially after witnessing Zhang Yi's strength firsthand and seeing Ling's existence.
They prefer to plunder resources from other human kingdoms or to raid ancient civilizations that are weaker than themselves.
The fact that Huaxu Kingdom is now proactively shrinking its territory is, in their view, a tacit understanding of "you take a step back, and I won't interfere."
At least on the surface, the conflict will be temporarily suppressed.
In the short term, no one wants to break through this veil.
"Let's maintain this state."
"Let's talk about it after the dust of the era has settled."
The leader of the Fangwolf tribe gave this order.
……
In Tianhai City, Zhang Yi did not inspect the site of the large-scale relocation.
He delegated the work to the executive level in each region.
He was sitting in the basement conference room of the villa at that moment.
The projection screen shone with a cool white light, and the information covering the entire wall was scrolling rapidly.
Lu Keran and Li Yangyang are helping to organize the data.
Yang Xinxin leaned against the table with her arms crossed, watching quietly.
The title on the screen is simple.
[Elon Freeman Mars Program Archives Collection]
This document was just sent to me by Blatter.
It consists of internal records from the Pupil Organization from twenty years ago, plus some deep space observation data that were "only intercepted and not made public".
These are absolutely impossible to obtain through normal channels.
The video file opened to reveal an old video with slightly compressed image quality.
The man in the picture has slightly curly hair, a very short beard, a thin face, but his eyes are frighteningly bright.
He stood at the center of a metal section, with a row of cryogenic chambers gleaming blue behind him.
He is laughing.
That kind of laughter wasn't happiness, it was fervor.
It's like someone throwing themselves into a fire and still sincerely believing that the flames are purifying the world.
"I won't wait for the end of the world."
"I will send the spark of humanity away ahead of time!"
"You only truly begin to take responsibility for civilization when you realize that Earth is unreliable."
"We must have a second base, a second mother nest."
"And I will become the creator god of a new human civilization!"
This person is Elon Freeman.
Colombia's richest man twenty years ago, a rocket fanatic, and a Martian colonization zealot.
He is also a well-known semi-collaborator in the "Pupil Organization"—always treating others as tools and always following his own schedule.
In his proposal, one word was highlighted and appeared repeatedly.
【Mars Origin Point】
Yang Xinxin circled this part and enlarged it.
She pointed her fingertips in the air, her obsidian-like eyes gleaming brightly.
"The landing site he chose is called the 'Mars Origin'."
"It's not a romantic name that was chosen on the spur of the moment; it's the 'origin' in a geological sense."
Zhang Yi raised his chin and said with great interest, "Explain it in detail."
Yang Xinxin opened a 3D topographic map.
It was a geological structure with radial patterns.
It resembles a huge impact crater, but it is not simply a meteorite crater.
Like the folds of a mountain range, yet converging downwards in an unusual way.
In the topographic profile, the underground texture of this area collapses towards the center, like a huge tenon, with its core pulled out, leaving a cavity.
She pointed to that area and said slowly:
“The underground density in this area is abnormal.”
"The conventional distribution of igneous rocks does not hold true. Therefore, there is a high probability of the existence of high-energy veins, or in other words, energy parent deposits."
"The term 'origin' is not a geographical designation, but an energy designation."
"For Freeman, this is the first stop in colonizing Mars. Because once they land, they are destined not to return, and energy is a necessary condition if they want to establish a permanent base!"
