580: Thirty thousand meters deep underground!

Professor Luo?

Guo Hao was startled at first, but quickly came back to his senses.

"The drilling team over there???"

Guo Hao asked the employee.

"Yes!"

The employee's expression was serious.

"Academician Luo said they seem to have dug up something incredible over there and need you to come take a look!"

Hearing the employee's words, Guo Hao was a little curious.

Could it be that they've created something special?

Or, could something have appeared underground?

That shouldn't be right!

Could there really be such a coincidence?

Guo Hao was very confused.

But he didn't refuse.

"Tell Academician Qian and the others that I can't go to the engineering institute side. They can oversee it, and I'll come for acceptance later."

Guo Hao said to the assistant beside him.

"Okay, Academician Guo."

The assistant nodded.

"Let's go!"

Guo Hao said to the Deep Space Technology employee beside him.

Wang Jin and Xu Yuan led the way.

Soon, Guo Hao got into the car.

The car quickly arrived at the drilling site in Ji Province. This place is in Ji Province, not too far from Beijing City.

It takes about four hours to drive there.

Guo Hao rested for a while in the car.

For Guo Hao, his schedule is very full right now.

After all, over the past six months, Moon construction has not stopped.

The dawn spacecraft has been launched more than ten times.

A large number of various machines, parts, and other items have been transported to the Moon.

There are also unmanned engineering instruments.

Currently, under the automatic programming of unmanned engineering vehicles, the production of lunar soil bricks is in full swing.

Subsequent construction instruments are still being manufactured.

The unmanned engineering vehicle is similar in structure to the engineering vehicle Guo Hao extracted, and the materials used are also composite alloys of Titanium-Aluminum Alloy and Mimetic Metal.

This material can completely withstand the extreme climate on the Moon. After all, during the daytime on the Moon, the highest temperature can reach 127 degrees Celsius.

And at night, it's even more extreme, reaching minus 183 degrees Celsius!

In such extreme weather, it's difficult for ordinary metals to withstand it, let alone some of the precise electronic instruments inside.

There is also the solar wind.

Because the Moon is closer to the sun than Earth.

The influence of solar tides and solar wind is naturally greater on the Moon!

Not to mention the impact of electromagnetic storms and the like.

The combination of the structure and materials of this type of engineering machine can minimize this impact.

However, the automatic construction engineering vehicle is currently under construction.

Due to its size, structure, and the cargo capacity of the dawn, this thing has not yet been transported to the Moon.

Currently, the construction of all Moon buildings is in the preparation stage. Subsequent construction will have to wait for the construction of the 'Zhouguang spacecraft' (Cosmic Light) ship.

This 500-ton class spacecraft has a much larger cargo capacity than the dawn, and some large construction engineering vehicles can also be transported to the Moon.

Guo Hao has too many things to be busy with now. Although he has distributed all the tasks to others, the things he has to do himself are not few at all!

His sleep is even less than before.

After all, in addition to official duties, he often stays in the underground Laboratory of Zizhu Mountain Villa even during his rest time.

His daily rest time is basically within six hours.

He can only catch up on sleep slightly by resting in the car like this.

He rested for a while in the car.

Soon he arrived at the location.

Academician Luo had received the news early and was waiting at the base entrance.

Guo Hao arrived at this hilly area.

What was originally an ordinary small hilly area was now blocked by walls, with armed soldiers guarding it.

A sign for a scientific research base entrance had already been hung here.

When Guo Hao woke up and saw this scene, he was slightly stunned.

He almost didn't recognize that this was the place Academician Luo had chosen before. How could the change be so big?

Guo Hao's eyes were full of curiosity.

Xu Yuan opened the car door for Guo Hao, and Wang Jin and Xu Yuan, one in front and one behind, subtly shielded Guo Hao's body with their own.

They protected Guo Hao's vital parts.

At this time, Academician Luo, who was nearby, also quickly walked up to Guo Hao.

"Professor Guo, you're finally here!"

Academician Luo said to Guo Hao, looking a little anxious.

"Let's not talk about the drilling for now, but... what's all this about???"

Guo Hao's eyes were full of confusion as he looked at Academician Luo.

"You haven't been here for over a year, and the changes here are quite big!"

Guo Hao's expression was slightly strange.

"This is all because of you!"

Academician Luo was startled for a moment when he heard Guo Hao's words, but quickly his anxious expression turned into a smile.

"After you decided on this location, we also reported this matter to the local government, considering it a record.

But who would have thought that when the local government heard that you were doing scientific research work here, they immediately started doing these things, including the guarding soldiers, who were specially transferred by the local government.

We couldn't even refuse!"

Academician Luo said to Guo Hao with a smile.

Okay...

Guo Hao also realized that with his current status and position, his investments could receive great care from local governments.

Not to mention his scientific research work.

"Alright! Let's go inside first. On the way, tell me in detail what happened and why you were so anxious to call me over!"

Guo Hao temporarily put this matter aside. With a curious gleam in his eyes, he asked Academician Luo curiously.

The two walked for a while and came near the deep pit.

On the way, Academician Luo recounted everything that happened here from beginning to end.

At this moment, Guo Hao looked at a palm-sized metal fragment covered by glass in front of him with a serious expression!

That's right!

At a depth of over 30,000 meters underground, under the drill bit, a piece of metal was drilled out!

Currently, this news has been completely sealed off.

Guo Hao is the first outsider to know this news.

Guo Hao looked curiously at the thin metal piece in front of him. Because it was embedded in the rock layer, there was no soil on it, and it didn't seem to be oxidized, looking shiny and silver.

There seemed to be some mysterious patterns on it, patterns Guo Hao had never seen before.

"Are you sure it was dug up from a depth of over 34,000 meters???"

Guo Hao looked at Academician Luo beside him and asked confusedly.

A depth of over 30,000 meters!

And deep within the rock layer!

The appearance of such metal there seems very strange, no matter how you think about it!

Because before this, the deepest hole humans could drill was only a little over 12,000 meters!

30,000 meters!

It's almost a depth underground that humans cannot reach!

"If the instrument hadn't been obstructed when it drilled to a depth of over 30,000 meters, and then when it was brought up, this piece of metal hadn't scratched it, I wouldn't dare to believe it either!"

Academician Luo's face was full of wry smiles.
