Chapter 1384 The Survivor
Ye Changsheng nodded, and without keeping them in suspense, said directly:
"That's right, this used to be the largest launch center in the Storm Defense Line, secretly handling 90% of the rocket launches."
Chen Mu said, "The launch center, that's a great place. A hub for talent and technology."
Upon hearing this, Ye Changsheng shook his head with a wry smile, "Boss Chen, you don't know this. The space launch center is indeed a good place."
I was referring to a 'secret launch center'.
To be honest, besides the publicly known launch center, our Storm Defense Line also has a covert launch center, which is the one right in front of you, Mr. Chen.
The publicly known launch center is responsible for undertaking various launch missions. Its main responsibility is to explore space and find a way out, serving all of humanity worldwide.
This clandestine launch center, however, operates on a less-than-honorable mission. And its services are limited to a small group of people.
Chen Mu wasn't stupid; he had already discerned the underlying meaning in Ye Changsheng's cryptic words.
"Chief Night, it's just the two of us here, no one else knows. Please speak freely."
Ye Changsheng said, "That's true, if you dare to do it, you dare to say it."
Mr. Chen, let me make one thing clear beforehand: none of the higher-ups at Storm Defense are cowards.
We all stayed behind and fought humanity to the very last moment.
But Mr. Chen, the higher-ups also have families. Many of their family members are not combatants.
Chen Mu nodded. "So this clandestine launch center is actually tasked with launching people related to high-ranking officials or certain special personnel into space to escape."
Is this some kind of... interstellar escape plan in a post-apocalyptic world?
Ye Changsheng said with a wry smile, "Mr. Chen, you're very straightforward. That's definitely the truth."
Space technology is indeed a good way to escape in the face of an apocalypse.
When land, sea, and sky have all fallen, escaping into space may be the only way for humanity to preserve its existence.
This clandestine launch center wasn't just for transporting the families of high-ranking officials. In fact, family members of high-ranking officials only made up a small portion, less than 20%.
The remaining spots were reserved for the Storm Defense Line, who selected their own sparks.
They specifically formed a small society in space based on professions and abilities. Doctors, technicians, chefs, linguists, engineers...
The number of people in each profession is strictly allocated.
These individuals were selected based on their abilities and achievements, and were chosen from around the world.
The people ultimately selected are the targets that this launch center will send into space.
Even if there are black holes blocking the way in the universe, previous tests at the publicly known launch centers showed that the spacecraft was destroyed by a cosmic monster, proving that this route is not feasible.
But when it really came down to the last moment, this was indeed the only path we had left.
After all, space is so vast, and there's a certain probability that the monsters can break through its interception.
If we can break through, then we can escape successfully.
Therefore, this plan is also our final escape plan.
However, at that time, the technology was not very advanced. The most crucial factor was that our survival skills were actually quite primitive.
How a small society can survive in space is a difficult problem.
