Chapter 27: Southern Cross
"Haven't we arrived yet?"
Fila looked at the farmland on both sides in surprise. This was a small road with five scooters driving slowly.
This was the planting area on the west side of the base. There were some automatic robots taking care of the fields. No inspectors were seen. Everyone knew that a large number of people would not be able to work in the future.
"Why is it so far?"
Fila asked, and He Yu in front of her immediately answered.
"After all, it's a secret base."
Fila sighed helplessly. She felt like she really had a problem with her brain. Obviously, everyone was a high school student. What secret base, changing the world, etc., such things only existed in some movies and TV dramas produced in Base No. 1.
Fila felt more and more that she shouldn't have agreed to join the Southern Cross. Now thinking about it carefully, she really felt a little ashamed, because what came out of the mouths of these weirdos was something that Fila had never thought of.
"We're here!"
Fila looked at the special glass that had reached the end in front of her. There was a metal hut on the left side close to the glass, with a total of three floors.
There is a sign in front of the hut with the Southern Cross written on it.
The metal hut covers a large area, which looks like at least 200 square meters. There is an archway opposite, and there are large balconies on the second floors on both sides. There are some vines on the roof, and the walls are painted light blue.
"Welcome to our secret base."
After He Yu got off the car, he smiled happily. Fila followed everyone and looked at Luo Jian.
"Did you really spend a year to build such a large area?"
Luo Jian smiled and shook his head.
"I did build the house, but the facilities inside and the exterior decoration were all done by everyone."
Fila swallowed and felt a little incredible. She was a little skeptical, but the house in front of her was actually in such a remote place, and it was at least 100 meters away from the planting site.
Although there are construction robots to help build houses now, it is incredible that one person can build a house.
As soon as she entered the house, Fila was shocked. The furnishings in the house seemed very comfortable and carefully built. Fila couldn't help but think that in the past few years, He Yu basically rarely played with anyone. He only came when he was called to help her with homework or cook. He was not seen at other times.
In front was a spacious passage with a blue carpet with a cross pattern and gold edges. There were some paintings and many potted plants on both sides, leading to a large living room. There were many small rooms on both sides, and there were star logos on the doors of the rooms.
The living room was long and round, with spiral staircases on both sides. There were also several rooms on the second floor. The whole space had a strong sense of depth. The back of the living room was crescent-shaped with many windows. The living room was fully equipped, and there were many cute and small decorations as embellishments.
"This was made by Lika, and the painting was painted by Sean."
He Yu said, and Fila looked at him.
"What about you?"
"I am responsible for collecting all the intelligence that everyone needs. The first floor underground is my intelligence room, the second floor underground is the mechanical workshop, and the third floor is the storage room."
Fila looked at Luo Jian again in disbelief.
"The machines are all borrowed from my father and some of his friends."
Fila looked at everything in front of her with joy. This place gave her a very good feeling, very friendly, and it took four people more than two years to build it.
"Okay, Fila, you do it first, and listen to me talk about the future plan."
Fila sat down with interest, and He Yu immediately ran to a long bar under the stairs on the right side of the living room. There was a refrigerator behind it. The bar was used for cooking. He took something out of the refrigerator.
"By the way, he is the chef for all of us!"
Sean said, and Fila nodded. What He Yu made was indeed delicious, better than what her family made.
"Have you ever thought about why your uncle was framed, and your uncle changed in just a few days after being arrested. Why do you think it was?"
Fila thought for a moment and shook her head.
"We were wandering around early this morning and heard a lot of rumors. Supporters believe that opponents framed your uncle."
Fila thought for a while and nodded. It was reasonable to think so.
"But what is the truth?"
Lika immediately pressed a button on the edge of the sofa, and a control screen soon appeared. A screen rose on the coffee table. After Lika operated it for a while, she pulled open a lot of files.
Fila looked at the files in front of her in surprise. These were many things that her uncle had done in the past three years. There were records of some aid transactions with other space stations led by her uncle.
"What does this represent?"
"Most of the things traded are core components of production machinery. These things have many uses because they can be used as the core control system of most machines. However, with so many transactions, it is obvious that some of the Mars bases of the trading objects do not have the ability to manufacture high-tech machinery. According to the fragments we found on some other Mars base networks, it is certain that these bases that do not have the ability to manufacture high-tech machinery can only use these core components to produce weapons."
Fila looked at Lika in disbelief.
"My uncle........."
"Although your uncle is in charge on the surface, the person who authorized him behind the scenes is Bernard, and your uncle should not know about it."
Then Lika retrieved a lot of information. The final analysis of many of the information showed that many aid transactions were in preparation for war, including news about other Mars bases' trade aid.
"Why do you pay so much attention?"
Lika smiled and looked at He Yu who was cooking.
"Of course it's to change the world."
"We know much more than you think."
Sean leaned against the back of the sofa with his hands folded, and Luo Jian nodded.
"Although I don't know why so many weapons are prepared and what they are fighting for, according to the current situation analysis, it can be determined that all Mars bases have basically been controlled by Bernard and his group, and a new country will be born."
"Then why do we need to prepare so many weapons?"
Fila asked, and Lika shook her head.
"Although we have speculated, this assumption is not valid for the time being."
"Everyone, eat some pancakes first. We probably won't have to go to school for a while in the future."
A fragrance drifted over. Fila looked over with envy. Sean took a dozen beers from the refrigerator.
"This is my home brew. It tastes great!"
