Chapter 849 Buzhou Mountain and the Bronze Gate
Faced with Mr. Lu's questions that were full of kindness and concern, Fang Yu smiled helplessly.
Of course, he knew how absurd and unorthodox his proposal sounded at this critical moment.
He couldn't even give a scientific explanation that would convince the materialists present.
Do you want him to say that there is an AI living in his head, which claims to be an AI left by gods 30,000 years ago, and that the AI tells him that as long as he goes to Kunlun Mountain to dig for treasure, he can get the ultimate weapon to fight aliens?
If he really said that, he would probably be treated as a mental patient the next second and sent directly to the safest sanatorium for "protective rest."
"Mr. Lu, all the leaders,"
Fang Yu stood up straight, his clear and firm eyes slowly sweeping over everyone present.
"Please forgive me for not being able to explain the specific reasons behind this right now. The things involved in this matter... are too complicated, and too... beyond imagination."
He paused, his tone becoming incredibly sincere.
"I can only assure you that everything I'm doing is to resolve this unprecedented crisis as quickly as possible and at the lowest cost."
"Please, everyone, trust me once more. When we return from Kunlun, I promise that all your doubts will have the most perfect answers."
These words are full of mysticism and are almost equivalent to saying nothing.
The conference room once again fell into a strange silence.
The generals looked at each other, their faces filled with expressions of "What the hell is this kid doing?"
Even Mr. Lu, who had always supported him the most, just frowned and said nothing.
Trust has its limits.
Especially when the fate of the entire country is at stake.
However, just as this atmosphere of doubt was about to reach its peak and some people were even preparing to speak out in opposition again.
A voice with a unique rhythm slowly sounded.
He is the big leader.
He didn't say anything, just smoked quietly, looking deeply at Fang Yu with those eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate time and space.
It was not until this moment that he put out the cigarette in his hand and slowly spoke.
"I think Comrade Xiao Fang has his reasons for doing this."
His voice was not loud, but it carried a natural majesty that could silence all other noises.
"Let's not ask too many questions."
He looked around at everyone, his gaze was calm, yet it made everyone he came into contact with feel an irresistible pressure.
"Back when we were developing the atomic bomb, Comrade Xiao Fang said he had a way, but weren't we skeptical? But what happened? He gave us a surprise."
"Later, we developed stealth aircraft and aircraft carriers. When did he ever let us down?"
"This time," the chief's gaze finally fell back on Fang Yu. There was no longer any doubt in his eyes, only an almost intuitive, absolute trust that transcended all logic. "I believe it too."
He stood up, walked to Fang Yu, stretched out the hand that had once pointed out the world and changed the world situation, and patted Fang Yu's shoulder heavily.
"go a head."
"Whatever you want to do, just go for it. We, as always, support you unconditionally!"
These words, like an imperial decree, instantly suppressed all doubts and unrest in the conference room.
The great leader, with his unparalleled prestige and courage, once again took on everything for Fang Yu, a genius who was not understood by the world.
Fang Yu's eyes felt slightly hot.
He looked at the old man in front of him, at his eyes full of trust and expectation. Thousands of words to say, in the end, only turned into the simplest and heaviest promise.
He suddenly stood at attention and gave a standard military salute.
"Yes! Promise to complete the mission!"
Seeing that the chief had said so, the other high-ranking officials of the Dragon Nation, even if they were still confused, did not say anything more.
They had no choice but to once again bet the fate of the entire country on this young man.
The order was conveyed quickly.
The Dragon Kingdom's war machine started running again with terrifying efficiency.
In less than twenty-four hours, a special operations team code-named "Dragon Hunting" was formed, consisting of the country's top geologists, the most elite special operations team, and the most experienced logistics support experts. It was fully commanded by Fang Yu.
Soon, Fang Yu led this team that brought together the elites of the entire country, boarding a transport plane that could adapt to the complex climate of the plateau, and entered the majestic and vast Kunlun Mountains, which was covered with ice and snow and shrouded in myths.
……
However, the reality is far more cruel than imagined.
Although Fang Yu had the approximate coordinate range of the "Buzhou Mountain" base provided by "Nuwa".
But Kunlun Mountain is really too big.
It stretches for thousands of kilometers.
Every mountain here is towering into the clouds and is covered with ice and snow all year round.
Every canyon here is bottomless and hides countless unknown dangers.
What's even worse is that the geomagnetic environment here is extremely chaotic. All modern electronic devices - whether it's GPS, satellite phones, or drones - will be strongly interfered with and become inaccurate.
They are like blindfolded giants. Although they possess great power, they cannot find the direction to move forward.
Even with the most detailed maps and the most advanced equipment, they still struggled like headless flies in this white maze of death.
Time passes day by day.
They kept getting lost, kept going in the wrong direction, and kept turning back in the blizzard.
Some team members had to be sent back early due to severe altitude sickness and frostbite.
Inevitably, the team's morale began to decline.
In the face of the cruel and desperate reality, the blind worship and trust in "Chief Designer Fang" began to be replaced by a trace of doubt and hesitation.
People began to discuss privately whether their action this time was a meaningless adventure decided by the top management on a whim.
Logistical supplies are also gradually being depleted at an alarming rate.
The high-energy food we brought with us is running out and the fuel is almost exhausted.
They were almost trapped to death in this desperate situation.
That night, in the makeshift camp, the geology expert who led the team, a highly respected old professor, could no longer bear it and found Fang Yu's tent.
"Chief Engineer Fang," the old professor's face was filled with anxiety and fatigue. He rubbed his red, frozen hands and said straight to the point, "We can't go on like this."
"Our positioning system has been completely out of service for over forty-eight hours. We have no idea where we are right now."
"The portable weather station also indicates that a severe snowstorm will arrive within the next seventy-two hours."
"If we keep walking aimlessly like this, I guarantee we'll all be stuck here forever!"
He looked at Fang Yu, who had a calm expression, almost begging.
"Take my advice, Chief Fang. Let's retreat first! As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!"
"We can retreat to the safety of our forward base, re-plan our route, and then explore again when we have enough supplies and the weather improves!"
Unexpectedly, in the face of his rational advice that came from the heart, Fang Yu just shook his head gently but firmly.
"No."
"To retreat now would mean failure."
His voice was not loud, but it was filled with an unquestionable determination.
"We don't have much time. If we give up now, we may never have the chance to find that place again."
"But..." The old professor wanted to persuade him further. In his opinion, Fang Yu's behavior was no longer self-confidence, but rather a stubbornness bordering on paranoia.
However, at this moment.
The door curtain of the tent was suddenly and roughly pulled open by someone.
A special forces soldier who was in charge of outer security rushed in, tumbling and crawling.
His face was flushed red due to extreme excitement and panting, and his hat was covered with a thick layer of snow.
He didn't even have time to salute, he pointed in a direction outside and yelled at Fang Yu in an incoherent and trembling voice:
"Report to Chief Engineer Fang!"
"There's something unusual ahead!"
"In the valley over there... I, we seem to have seen a door..."
"An enormous bronze door!"
