I have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World - Chapter 1327
Just as global attention was focused on South America, the offensive in Syria began.
With the help of Yerif, the 11th Special Operations Division made up by Celestial Trade’s Mercenary Corps successfully entered Syria and assisted the government force to suppress the extreme forces and rebels.
Unlike the shackled Russia and the UA special force, these stateless mercenaries didn’t care whether an extreme organization was mild or harmful. The moment that extreme organization was deemed as the target, they fought without hesitation.
Another advantage of fighting in war-torn areas was that there were no people interfering.
In addition to Russian fighters’ airstrikes, Celestial Trade’s Seagull-class transport ships in synchronous orbit occasionally use electromagnetic pulse cannons or missiles to support their operations.
The combat effectiveness of this special combat division made Yerif full of jealousy. If this army served him, what opposition could he not silence?
After the situation in Syria stabilized, Jiang Chen promised that he will become the next employer of this army. This force would help him secure this position as the king, and become his sword and shield in his goal for secular reform…

While the world watched Colombia and 9,000 prisoners of war, Jiang Chen, who was at the center of controversies, was focused on another matter.
Just two days ago, news came from the Mars Colony.
The expeditionary army equipped with new weapons finally pushed the tunnel to the suspected position of the Gaia civilization, where they found the fabled database of the “Flowers of Memory”.
It was the legacy left by a civilization three billion years ago, and its value could no longer be measured by wealth. As Dr. Amos said, if the Flowers of Memory really carried all the knowledge of their civilization as described by the Gaia civilization, these memories from three billion years ago would be enough to allow the human civilization to enter the next era.
Jiang Chen took the space elevator to Celestial Trade and met with Kelvin stationed at the Space Command Center. Once they met, he was straight to the point.
“What’s going on at Mine 071?”
“The reinforcement of the main structure of the ruins has been completed, and now it has entered the final stage of excavation.” Kelvin pointed to the holographic screen in front of him and smiled. “We are just doing excavation work on the wall, and we’ll find out very soon what’s inside.”
On the screen, there were the real-time images returned from the excavation site of the Gaia civilization tens of millions of kilometers away.
A tunnel densely paved with steel plates surrounded the space below the entire ruins. The heavily armed Celestial Marines leaned on the outside of the ruins, they formed a line against the wall as they cautiously watched the area.
The field engineer carried a toolbox forward and used a special instrument to observe the inside of the ruins. After he confirmed that there was no living thing or any obstruction, he said a few words to the person in charge next to him, and then backed away.
Soon, under the escort of a group of soldiers, a strangely shaped vehicle drove into the circular tunnel from the main tunnel.
It was strange because its appearance was too abstract.
Its cuboid shape looked like a container with wheels added. From the appearance alone, it was difficult to associate this vehicle with the task “opening door”.
The head of the vehicle was attached to the outside of the ruins, and the wheels on both sides were immediately retracted, and the whole body then gently rested on the ground. A thumb-sized drill bit protruded from the front of the vehicle to drill a hole, and the hole was quickly closed after.
In order to avoid the influence of external air pressure on the ancient relics in the ruins, the Mine 071 site project team was very careful. They took into account almost all possible scenarios. After they confirmed the air pressure and composition inside the ruins, the cuboid vehicle attached to the wall quickly simulated its own internal air environment, and then after a muffled bang, a hole enough for a person was formed on the wall.
“The tunnel is successful constructed, and the conditions of the ruins are confirmed to be normal!”
A voice of relief came from the command center. Many people took off their headphones and wiped the nervous sweat on their foreheads. Many smiles also appeared on everyone’s face.
At this point, the most difficult stage of the excavation work was completed. The rest of the work only required sending a remote car inside to confirm if it was safe. The final stage was to send hundreds of scientific researchers to the colony to accept the legacy of the former civilization.
After Jiang Chen left the Space Command Center, he stayed with Celestial Trade for a few days as he started the selection process of the candidates that will accept the “Flowers of Memory”.
Because of its association with the Gaia civilization and the existence of the Flowers of Memory, this task was ranked as the highest confidential information in Celestial Trade. The information was not accessible to most.
Based on the principle of voluntariness, Jiang Chen sent Ghost Agents to assess the loyalty of the group’s scientists and sent an invitation letter to all the scientists who were confirmed to be reliable. The purpose of the invitation was for training on Mars.
If they accepted the group’s dispatch, they would be automatically listed as a candidate for the Flowers of Memory. They would be informed once they boarded with relevant information such as, what the Flowers of Memory are, and what the Gaia civilization is…
Since it was memories from three billion years ago, there was still a degree of risk.
In the scientific research system of Celestial Trade, in addition to loyalty to the group, most of the scientists who received the invitation letter were middle-level scientists, who had the capability of accepting knowledge, were between 30 and 40 years old, and had high training value…
“Put my name on the list,” Amos said when he arrived at Jiang Chen’s office. “We agreed that if the ruins are successfully excavated, I get a copy of the scientific research from the former civilization.”
“There is still a high degree of uncertainty in the security status of the colony. I can let people send the Flowers of Memory back,” Jiang Chen looked at Amos as he tried to persuade him, “If you don’t change your mind then, it’s not too late to inoculate in Celestial City.”
If possible, he did not want to send important talents to risky places.
In the research of Klein particles and neural bridging, even Lin Lin, a digitalized human from the 22nd century, praised him for his accomplishments. Give him time, and his future achievements in the scientific community would not be inferior to those of the great scientists who have left their names in history.
However, Amos did not change his mind as he shook his head.
“Scientific research itself is full of uncertain risks. If you fear the risks, it’s counterintuitive to what we believe in.”
With the certainty in Amos’ tone, Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, then let out a sigh as he put his name on the list.
“If you insist.”
“Thank you.” As he saw the list, Amos smiled from the bottom of his heart, then he joked in a relaxed tone, “Are you not going to send me an invitation letter or something?”
“No, you get special treatment.”
