    With a faint clunking sound, the iron door was gently pushed open.


    Jiang Chen stepped into the file room and looked around.


    In addition to a row of file racks, at the end of the file racks were two closet-sized servers. Seeing the two servers at the end, Jiang Chen was suddenly ecstatic. It wouldpletely exhaust him if he had to flip through every single document in the room, but if they backed up the data on electronic devices, regardless how secure their server was, Jiang Chen could dig the data out eventually!


    He could even trace and find something else!


    Restraining the excitement in his head, Jiang Chen asked knowingly, “Jean, can you infiltrate these two machines?”


    “That’s easy,” Jean said calmly, still in an emotionless tone.


    Pulling out the adjustable data cable from the arm, Jiang Chen found the interface on the servers and inserted the data cable. Soon, the screen of the tactical helmet shed several reading windows. Jean integrated theputing resources of both the watch and the kic skeleton and quickly infiltrated the firewall built by security experts.


    In fact, during the infiltration process, Jean simply didn’t encounter any strong resistance. Even the most skilled hackers wouldn’t break intoputers that aren’t connected to the Inte. Simrly, if theputer wasn’t connected to the Inte at all, then it was naturally not necessary to frequently update the firewall.


    Area 51 was such an exclusive military zone that is independent of the outside world. There wasn’t even one kilobyte of data exchange between the Inte and the Intr here. Naturally, there would be no so-calledwork security problems.


    As for whether there would be any hackers who could sneak inside?


    The soldiers at Area 51 weren’t worried at all.


    Dozens and dozens of Soviet spies were captured there.


    Just the sensors spread out all over the military base were enough to make it difficult to even advance an inch for those who wanted to approach it illegally.


    Jiang Chen patiently waited to read the article and watched the data stream shing through.


    The downloading speed was increased to the maximum. Jean copied all the confidential files stored on the server. To artificial intelligence of the 22nd century, the firewall installed on these two machines was simply child’s y.


    Half an hourter, all the data were quietly fragmented into 0s and 1s and disappeared into the tactical helmet screen.


    “Complete.”


    Jean used her unemotional tone and dered the oue of this silent battle.


    Jiang Chen didn’t stop to rest and immediately opened the ten terabyte ofpressed file that Jean downloaded onto the memory card. To review these documents with human effort would take at least one to two months to categorize the documents. However, for an artifical intelligence, all documents were sorted out in less than a minute.


    In these projects, Jiang Chen saw many shocking things.


    Document Number: 10020


    Record Name: RQ-180 Drone Improvement


    Development Direction: Improve the cruising ability, strengthen the cruising speed, and enhance the ability to defend against EMP weapons…


    Development Budget: One illion US Dors.


    Content: …


    A strange expression gradually appeared on Jiang Chen’s face as he skimmed the information in the document,


    It seemed that the EMP did scare the UA. He looked at more than a dozen projects, and all of them specifically stated improvements against EMP. For example, reducing the size of electronicponents of key equipment as much as possible to reduce the high temperature generated by electromaic pulses, or even sacrificing a small amount of stealth and agility to apply a specific metal coating to form a Faraday cage on the fighters.


    With limited scientific and technological conditions, these methods were somewhat effective. However, even the researchers in Area 51 didn’t find a good solution for the EMP’s attacks on the grid, civilian facilities, and factories.


    However, the Capital already established this project and allocated a budget of five billion US Dors to study how to defend against EMP on the soil.


    In addition, Area 51 seemed to be studying a small four-rotor attack drone. This drone shape was simr to Future Group’s Beta-3, but at the bottom were hanging muzzles and magazines. At present, this type of drone had already entered the testing phase. Researchers in Area 51 were determining ways to eliminate rotor noise and wanted to design AIs that could automatically identify friendly and enemy targets.


    It seemed that on the issue of national security, the UA didn’t mind copying technology. As long as they changed the appearance, who would know this was a counterfeit version of the Beta-3 logistics drone?


    However, Jiang Chen didn’t mind. As long as Future Group maintained a leading position in technology, the UA would only be able to chase behind them, unable to catch up.


    In addition to these projects, Jiang Chen also witnessed many incredible technologies projects that were still in the nning stage that had yet to receive funding.


    For example, one project was filed under the name “Northern Lights Arrival”. By creating specific channels in the targeted airspace, sr wind could pass through the shielding of the Earth’s maic field, enabling high-energy particles to cause electromaic pulse (EMP) effects over a rtively wide range.


    However, this project didn’t receive enough financial support. Obviously, the Capital didn’t believe whimsical researchers could find a way to open a hole in the Earth’s maic field. Moreover, the sr wind that passed through the shielding of the earth’s maic field could not only certainly cause EMP effects over a wide area, but it would also create arge hole in the ozoneyer.


    Even if the budget for this project was a bottomless pit, no one could measure the serious environmental impact of this bewildering weapon. If this tunnel that passed through the Earth’s maic field could no longer be closed, surface organisms would go extinct…


    “Jean, is this kind of weapon possible?” asked Jiang Chen.


    Jean paused for two seconds. She probably went to search the database in the apocalypse.


    “At least in NAC’s database, this type of dark technology doesn’t exist.”


    Jiang Chen felt relieved that he would no longer be bothered by the “Northern Lights Arrival” when he received confirmation, then he continued to search the catalog for information on the radio telescope.


    With the help of Jean, Jiang Chen saw the project numbered 12417 not long afterward.


    This project was listed in the space category.


    Item Number: 12417


    Record Name: Extraterrestrial Civilization Exploration


    Development Direction: Through radio telescopes, analyze the possibility of the existence of extraterrestrial civilization within 50 light years from the Earth.


    Development Budget: 300 million US Dors.


    Content: …


    He ignored all the content he didn’t understand and only scanned through the key points. Jiang Chen looked down through the documents, but when he saw the progress, his pupils suddenly shrank.


    Research and Development Progress:


    … Subproject No. 011: Gliese 581.


    Location: Located 20.4 light-years away from Earth. It’s located about two degrees north of Beta Librae, the brightest star in the Libra constetion.


    Analysis: The star is a red dwarf with spectral type M3V. Observed by radio telescope, there are active hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and other elements on the 581g surface, and there is arge probability of water.ary tides are locked, the sr wind is active, and the state of the geomaic field is unknown.


    There may be an atmosphere.


    There may be creatures, distributed along the twilight line.


    No regr electromaic waves are observed; civilization is less likely to exist, or if existing, it is likely to have technological capability below the Stone Age…


    When Jiang Chen saw this, he held his breath.


    Gliese 581 – he was too familiar with the name.


    He just didn’t imagine that in the exploration project of extraterrestrial civilization in Area 51, there would actually be a record for this. Although the evaluation of their civilization level was somewhat ridiculous…


    Looking at the line of text, Jiang Chen was silent for a long time.


    As he thought about what to do, suddenly, there was a deafening rm outside the window…
