Chapter 380 It's pushing the door open!
Zhang Yan did not deny it.
Nie Qingcheng said, "You didn't use Qingcheng International's database, but you did use the military's data interface."
"Military interface usage traces can affect satellite resource scheduling."
"Qingcheng International has three commercial remote sensing satellites in orbit with them, and I can see anomalies."
Zhang Yan said, "You investigated me in reverse?"
Nie Qingcheng looked at him coldly.
"You're hiding something from me, so I can't investigate you?"
Zhang Yan paused for a second.
"able."
Nie Qingcheng pushed the documents in front of him.
Three years ago, a meteorite fell in the uninhabited area of western Sahara.
"Public records indicate it is a common iron meteorite."
"But within seven hours of the crash, a foreign laboratory sent a military transport plane to the site."
"The samples were not made public."
"The site was subsequently sealed off for 26 days."
"All twelve technicians involved in the recovery were reassigned within six months, and three of them died due to experimental accidents."
Zhang Yan opened the document.
The first page is a satellite image.
The second page shows the transport plane's flight path.
The third page contains the laboratory number.
Page four is the sample transport list.
Nie Qingcheng said, "If the stardust you're looking for exists, it's most likely inside this meteorite."
Zhang Yan looked up at her.
"You found this in two days?"
"Two days."
"How did you do that?"
Nie Qingcheng's voice was calm.
"I cross-referenced all the keywords you searched."
"Meteorite, unusual metal, unpublished sample, three years ago, Sahara."
"And combine that with the six coordinates you checked yesterday."
"The Sahara was already inside it."
Zhang Yan whispered, "Qingcheng."
Nie Qingcheng did not sit down.
She stood in front of the desk, looking at him.
"Three days have passed."
Zhang Yan closed the document.
Nie Qingcheng said, "Now, fill in the parts you didn't say."
Zhang Yan did not speak immediately.
The system panel will pop up at this time.
External contact statistics updated.
The first door was knocked on 34 times in the past 72 hours.
Added a new tip.
The second and third doors showed weak synchronous contact feedback.
Zhang Yan's fingers stopped.
Nie Qingcheng noticed the change in his expression.
"Is there new information?"
Zhang Yan looked at her.
"Um."
"explain."
Zhang Yan stood up.
"What lies beneath Shennongjia is not a historical site."
Nie Qingcheng remained silent.
"It's a door."
"Door?"
"A barrier node that isolates this dimension from the outside world."
Nie Qingcheng's pupils contracted slightly, but she did not interrupt.
Zhang Yan continued, "There are seven gates in total, with Shennongjia being the main gate. The other six are located in the North Atlantic, the Sahara, Antarctica, the Andes, Siberia, and the Pacific Ocean abyss."
"They form a global shielding network."
"The Heart of Nature is not a weapon, it is a key, and its original function is to maintain these doors."
Nie Qingcheng asked softly, "So, what about Xu?"
"The rubble seeped in through the cracks in the door."
"Not the strongest?"
"Not the only one."
Nie Qingcheng's fingers slowly tightened.
Zhang Yan said, "Thirty thousand years ago, the Mohist civilization obtained the Heart of Heavenly Craftsmanship, but they were unaware of the existence of the Gate. They transformed the Heart of Heavenly Craftsmanship into the core of the Sealed Ruins."
"The seal has been successfully sealed."
"But the door has been neglected and its efficiency has been declining."
"Now only 41% remains."
Nie Qingcheng asked, "What does 41% mean?"
Zhang Yan said, "The things outside the door can already sense us."
The room remained quiet for a long time.
Nie Qingcheng asked, "What you mentioned yesterday about 'something bumping against the door,' is this it?"
"Um."
"several times?"
Zhang Yan said, "The count was seventeen times three days ago."
Nie Qingcheng stared at him.
"And now?"
Zhang Yan did not avoid her eyes.
"Thirty-four times."
Nie Qingcheng closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, her voice was still steady.
"The frequency is increasing."
"Um."
"A coordinated effort between the seven sects?"
"Um."
"If we don't fix it?"
"It will continue to decline."
"At what price level would something go wrong?"
"The system does not have a clearly defined threshold."
"Zhang Yan".
"I have no idea."
Nie Qingcheng did not ask the question again.
She picked up the Sahara documents from the table.
"The first fracture requires stardust."
Zhang Yan nodded.
"The second place?"
"Four Spirits Energy Matrix"
"The third place?"
"Repair the first two areas first, activate the door maintenance agreement, and then proceed with the rest."
Nie Qingcheng said, "So we must go to the Sahara."
"Yes."
"When?"
"After confirming the sample location."
Nie Qingcheng looked at him.
"You want to go by yourself again?"
Zhang Yan said, "This time we can discuss it."
Nie Qingcheng gave a cold laugh.
"Is it negotiable?"
Zhang Yan offered no explanation.
Nie Qingcheng slammed the document down on the table.
"Zhang Yan, I am not your logistics system."
"I know."
"I'm not just some decoration for you to display outside the battlefield."
"I know."
"Then remember that."
She walked up to him and grabbed his collar.
"From now on, I need to be aware of all information regarding the Seven Gates simultaneously."
"I need to know all the materials, coordinates, risks, and countdowns immediately."
"You can judge the tactics."
"But you can't decide for me whether I should know or not."
Zhang Yan looked at her.
"it is good."
Nie Qingcheng's eyes were a little red.
But she didn't shed a tear.
You always say you're afraid I'll worry.
"But what I'm most worried about is that you won't tell me."
Zhang Yan raised his hand and gently grasped her wrist.
"I won't hide it from you anymore."
Nie Qingcheng looked at him.
"You said that before."
Zhang Yan said, "I remember it more clearly this time."
Nie Qingcheng stared at him for a long time.
Finally, I let go.
"it is good."
The next second, there was a knock on the study door.
Qin Xiao's voice came from outside.
"Brother Yan, sister-in-law, may I come in?"
Nie Qingcheng raised her hand and wiped the corner of her eye.
"Enter."
Qin Xiao pushed the door open and came in, his face very anxious.
Something's happened.
Zhang Yan looked at him.
"explain."
Qin Xiao handed over the tablet.
"The Great Wall Team has just detected the timestamp deviation of the North Atlantic coordinates."
"Not a few seconds."
"It's nineteen minutes."
Zhang Yan took the tablet.
The screen displays a set of deep-sea monitoring data.
Near coordinates in the North Atlantic, three seabed sensors from different countries experienced data gaps within the same time period.
Missing length.
Nineteen minutes and seven seconds.
It was subsequently restored.
After recovery, the water temperature rose by 0.6 degrees Celsius.
The magnetic field deflected by 3.2%.
The frequency of thermal pulsation is completely synchronized with the first gate of Shennongjia.
Qin Xiao's voice was strained.
"There's one more."
Zhang Yan looked up.
Qin Xiao said, "Before losing contact, an unmanned deep-sea probe transmitted its last image."
Nie Qingcheng asked, "What is the scene?"
Qin Xiao zoomed in on the image.
The image is very blurry.
In the darkness of the deep sea, above a crack in the seabed, a ring of extremely faint silver-white runes appeared.
In the center of the rune, there is a black circular outline.
It is almost identical to the black spheres underground in Shennongjia.
But on the black outline surface.
There was an extra handprint.
It's not a human handprint.
The five finger joints are extremely long.
It's sticking to the door from the other side.
Zhang Yan's gaze stopped.
The system simultaneously displayed a red warning message.
The external contact strength of the second door increases.
Source: Outside the door.
Contact method: continuous pressing.
Expected rate of decrease in shielding efficiency: Increased.
Nie Qingcheng's voice was very low.
"It's not knocking anymore."
Zhang Yan looked at the picture.
"Um."
Qin Xiao's throat felt dry.
"It's pushing the door open."
