Chapter 244 - 244: This is What a Spaceship Looks Like, It’s So Beautiful!
“What are those guys so happy about?”
Tang Rui looked at the holographic projection screen and saw several people jumping around on the drilling platform, completely confused.
“Your drill bit is worn out again.”
“And you’re dancing on top of it.”
“Unbelievable.”
“What are you so happy about?”
“Red Lotus, what are they saying now?” Tang Rui was as anxious as a cat scratching, very agitated.
He originally wanted to cause trouble for those guys.
But then he realized… they were not only not upset, but they seemed very happy and excited.
This made him very uncomfortable.
“Master, Red Lotus needs to hack into their network to eavesdrop on their phone conversations and understand what they are talking about.”
After hearing this, Tang Rui immediately asked Red Lotus to carry out the hacking.
“Master, the other party is making a phone call. Do you want me to play the content of the call?”
“Play it.”
Tang Rui nodded immediately, truly curious now.
“President, this is Kim Jae-hyun. Are there other people around you?” Director Kim was calling the president on a satellite phone.
“No one’s here. Is there something special?”
“President, while drilling, we discovered something like a spaceship, an alien artifact.”
“Are you drunk?” the president asked skeptically after pondering for a while.
“President, I didn’t believe it at first either, but please listen to me, this is how it happened…”
Director Kim, with his good memory, repeated everything the team leader had told him to the president.
“Are you sure you’re not joking?” the president still sounded unsure after a long pause.
“President, you can send another drilling team over without telling them the truth. Let them drill, and when the results come in, we’ll know for sure.”
“Okay, I’ll send people over. You take charge there and remember to cut off other signals, only keeping this satellite phone operational.”
“Don’t worry, President, I’ve already made arrangements. If anyone dares to leak information, it’s normal to lose a few people in the rough seas these days.”
“Good. If it’s really as you said, you’ll head a subsidiary company after this.”
“Thank you, President.”
The two ended their call and then went on to make various arrangements.
Tang Rui also heard the entire conversation, his facial expression very strange.
How to put it.
He had considered many possibilities, but he never expected that their imagination would go so far.
They found a spaceship?
They must be dreaming.
Dreaming of spaceships in broad daylight, truly worthy of being from a country with a talent for this.
But now that he knew about this.
He could study it thoroughly.
Want a spaceship?
He’d make one for you.
An hour later.
Another drilling team arrived at the drilling platform.
In that country, conglomerates are quite powerful; ask for a drilling team, and you’ll get one immediately.
This team, under Director Kim’s arrangements, began drilling.
It was the same hole as before.
The drill bit was worn flat again.
Director Kim, upon seeing this result, was not angry but excited.
He reported the outcome to the president.
“I have a task for you, keep drilling around the area and compile the data,” the president gave Director Kim a new order.
“Understood, President, don’t worry, I know what to do.”
After hanging up the phone, Director Kim asked the drilling platform to move to the forward sea area for drilling.
“Director Kim, why are we drilling ahead?”
“What do you think?”
“Is it to determine the size of that object?”
“Exactly, so let’s get moving.”
“Understood.”
The drilling platform surfaced again and began moving on the sea surface.
Moving straight ahead.
After moving two nautical miles, they stopped again to drill.
This time, they successfully broke through the 1724-meter barrier, drilling down to 1786 meters before stopping.
“There’s hope, there’s hope.”
“This must be the height difference on the surface of the spaceship.”
“That’s right, record the data well and keep moving.”
“Understood.”
In the following period, the drilling platform kept moving around this sea area, initially drilling every one or two nautical miles.
Then it became six to seven hundred meters per drill.
Finally.
Drilling every hundred meters, they had turned the entire seabed into a honeycomb of drill holes.
But they were excited.
Through continuous drilling, they simulated the general shape and volume of the spaceship on the seabed.
Similar to the Starship Enterprise in the movies, the ship was composed of two discs, one large and one small, and a central strut.
The front large disc had a radius of 172 meters and a height difference of 25 meters.
The smaller disc at the back had a radius of 52 meters and a height difference of 12 meters.
The central strut was a cylinder.
It was drilled at a depth of 135 meters below the two discs, and through continuous drilling, they confirmed it was a cylindrical structure.
Due to the different wear and tear from the drilling, this discovery excited them even more.
“This is what a spaceship looks like, so beautiful, Ssimida.”
“Yes, it’s like a masterpiece bestowed upon us by heaven, Ssimida.”
Natural creations.
Couldn’t possibly be this standardized, forming two circles and a cylinder, so there must be a spaceship at the bottom of the sea.
But there was a problem: the spaceship was buried too deep.
Even the shallowest part was at a depth of 1724 meters on the seabed, making it impossible to excavate.
This was not taking into account the colossal size of the spaceship.
How were they going to excavate it?
A group of experts suddenly came up with an idea.
Since it couldn’t be excavated, could a hole be drilled, and some metal debris or equipment components be removed for reverse engineering?
This idea was quickly supported by most of them.
Then a group of experts started studying where the engine might be located based on the model of the spaceship.
Eventually, they estimated a location and began to drill.
Just as the drilling started on this side, Tang Rui asked Red Lotus to block the hole according to the spaceship model he designed.
“Red Lotus, based on their current progress, how long would it take for them to drill through the entire spaceship’s body?”
Tang Rui glanced at the holographic projection screen showing a spaceship model with red dots and asked Red Lotus.
“Master, based on their current progress, it’s practically impossible to detect the entire model of the spaceship.
Even just drilling the surface of the spaceship, considering the strength of the geological structure and their current drilling technology.
Before reaching the limit of the number of drill holes the geological structure can withstand, at most only sixty-seven percent of the spaceship model can be detected.
And as they progress, it will take more and more time, so it’s impossible to estimate the specific duration.”
After simulating, Red Lotus reported to Tang Rui.
“I see… Then let them play slowly, make sure the model looks very realistic.”
Tang Rui casually commented after hearing the report.
He couldn’t monitor them every day, so he left this matter to Red Lotus.
As long as the power didn’t go out, Red Lotus could play with them for a thousand or even ten thousand years.
“Understood, Master, Red Lotus guarantees they won’t discover anything unusual.”
In this regard, Red Lotus was professional.
It even adjusted the angle while placing the steel plates underground according to the spaceship model designed by Tang Rui.
The cylindrical strut they concluded was just a result of the different angles of the steel plates placed by Red Lotus..
