{ Second Point }
The whole place is dark without a single light.
Above the sea where nothing can be seen.
Something was moving secretly.
Yang Yang-gwang was sitting in the driver’s seat and looking out the window.
He looked at Aiden sitting next to him.
“But is it necessary to do this? No matter how much BH is, it wouldn’t be possible to monitor the whole world in real time.”
The road to the second base.
It is a yard where you stop at an intermediate transfer facility to remove only the traces, and discard or leave the rest.
Then, after waiting until midnight, they are moving to a stealth boat.
I really want to go back.
Most of the base personnel have their eyes closed from behind.
How tiring is it that you have been through something like that?
Only operating personnel are awake.
Then, Aiden’s voice resounded softly.
“Bruce has satellites. Officially and unofficially, there are quite a few.”
Returning late from India, Zhou Chang and Han Yu, who joined at the intermediate transfer point, listened to his explanation.
“Hey, he’s the richest man in the world.”
Aiden continued to respond to Yang Kwang’s reaction.
“In order to do something right, it is essential to secure information using satellites. It’s too natural in war, and it’s the same in business. The world’s richest people don’t just launch satellites.”
Cain adds words.
“Everything wins and loses based on information. In the worst case, would the US have established the Space Command? If a war breaks out between great powers in the future, they will start by destroying each other’s satellites first.”
“Anyway, Bruce can also detect us with satellites. But as you said, there is a limit to the number of satellites, so blind time and blind spots are inevitable.”
“So.”
As Yang Yang-gwang responds to Aiden’s words, Yuhan-wol’s voice suddenly comes out.
“Do you think the United States or other great powers are chasing us?”
“Hmm… not yet. You probably don’t know right now. But there are no secrets in the world, so one day, the great powers will know about this Ubermensh project. And even the beginning.”
‘Odhalaf… .’
Aiden’s words kept coming.
“And when that happens.”
“They will definitely follow us.”
“Yeah. Paying attention like this is taking into account the great powers as well as BH. We don’t know when they’ll find out about our existence.”
Cain’s subsequent mention.
“The story changes when the number of reconnaissance satellites increases. Especially in the case of the United States. Because there are so many satellites, there is hardly any blind time, and various reconnaissance aircraft are launched to fill the void. So I think we can always be caught. and you have to move.”
“I’m so tired. So, is it a better sword at night?”
“America’s satellites and reconnaissance planes can detect all-weather day and night. They use infrared sensing. That’s the heat at night.”
Cain, who paused for a moment, asked Yang Yang-gwang, who had asked the question.
“For example… remember that motorcycle exterior that Burt wore?”
“Ah… those unusual pieces?”
“Yeah. Panels. You can get away with infrared detection by covering them with the enclosure of the equipment. Basically, not only are they very good shielding, but you can also use voltage to make the panels hot or cold. You can block the emission.”
“Five….”
“And underneath it, I put a layer of special nanomaterial that can trap infrared light and absorb it almost completely. Could you help me understand a little by explaining that it is a technology that produces an effect similar to black silicon? I can assure you that there is. Don’t you have the clothes Bert gave you when he went to pick them up? Those are clothes with similar technology.”
Yang Gwang nodded his head.
“Now you just have to avoid the normal optical observations, and unless you’re traveling at night or on a very overcast day, you can’t help but see it during the day.”
“So the invisibility cloak, are you using it? Spread it over the motorcycle?”
“Yeah. It’s a membrane made of smart metamaterials. It doesn’t reflect light, it refracts everything. So it looks assimilated with its surroundings. It’s hard to notice at first glance from a distance. Now the exterior of this boat is all piled up with them. So even if you move during the day, you won’t be able to find our boat easily.”
Almost all of these people in this position have been on this boat for the first time.
After hearing the explanation, they looked up at the boat with new eyes.
“Then why are you traveling at night now?”
“During the day, you can see the waves created by the rapid movement of the ship. If it’s in operation, that might not be a problem. But it’s the way to the base right now. You need to be extra careful.”
Yuhan-wol, who was listening, nodded.
As he has a family, he was ready to endure any kind of hassle.
If you move with extreme caution, you won’t be able to track it.
Even if the enemy was monitoring it with satellites, it was only at the intermediate transfer facility that the trail was cut off.
Therefore, there is no trace left behind from the mainland of Korea.
Yuhan Wol asked.
“Where’s the new base?”
* * *
A clear view out of the wide window.
It is a restaurant where the bright sunlight will come in.
The vast sea stretches out wide.
The sky is slowly getting brighter.
“I’m already here. Have you been resting?”
Yuhan-wol, who was looking out the window, Aiden came in and greeted him.
“Yes. You must be tired, but you don’t rest any more.”
“What did I do yesterday? Others must be tired.”
Aiden walks to one side and makes coffee.
Even though it was his first time here, he looked quite natural.
Rather, the structure of the restaurant is similar to the previous base.
“Yeah. What does this new base look like?”
Yuhan-wol’s mind remembered the time he had arrived last night.
A mansion built on a cliff.
The boat came in through a secret passage hidden at the bottom of the cliff.
“I didn’t expect it to be this well equipped. On the contrary, it seems to be better than before.”
That feeling must not have been only Yuhan Wol alone.
Everyone was prepared that it would be inconvenient because there were so many flaws, but the facilities are so good that that mindset is overshadowed.
It doesn’t feel like a spare at all.
Even in the midst of waking up from sleep, the base personnel looked around with surprised eyes.
Aiden nodded as he drank his coffee.
“Right? Cain, that friend has suffered a bit. Actually, it took more time to build this base than the last one. Construction started almost at the same time as the last one. But until recently, he went in and out to finish it here. Rivy too. .”
Yuhan-wol, who I was listening to.
Once again, I thought that Aiden and Cain’s event was very thorough.
Not only to avoid the surveillance of BH and other powerful powers, but also to provide these facilities.
It seems that he had already started preparing for this second base when he planned to escape.
If you don’t have a lot of money, you can’t even dream of it, but just because you have a lot of money, it’s not something anyone can do.
“Is there any reason why you chose the Jeju-do location?”
“Um. It wasn’t difficult to secure a site. It’s been a while since I bought the land secretly. After that, it was easy to construct because there was a development boom in Jeju Island. Also, the geographical location is good for a base. Stealth boat Because it’s good to operate it. It’s all around the sea.”
Yuhan Wol nodded his head.
If I use a stealth boat, I want to reach Japan, China, and Russia very quickly.
Then a thought came to my mind.
“You’re also working on another project to secure a base right now, right? Your father and Do-Kwang are working with Cain?”
“okay.”
“Are you in Korea too?
For some reason, it feels like the next base should be moved to another place other than Korea.
I think it would be better to move to a new place than Korea, where BH’s surveillance was reached.
Aiden smiled at those words.
he opened his mouth
“It looks like they are coming one by one.”
The two turned their heads at the sound of the restaurant door opening.
* * *
“Did you sleep well?”
bright voice.
Yuhan-wol’s heart is warmly welcomed.
“Yeah. Body?”
“I’m completely fine now.”
Ethan smiling softly.
Yuhan-wol looked at her face for a moment.
The emotions of yesterday come to mind.
‘… .’
I was afraid I would never see him again.
I’m afraid I won’t be able to see that bright, warm smile.
In Yuhanwol’s gaze, her lips move slowly.
“Did you eat breakfast?”
“Oh, I ate a little while ago. Eat quickly.”
He caught his eyes as his parents and Lee Dan-ah’s mother sat down to eat together.
And the figure of Lee Dan-ah, who soon took a seat there.
‘Jewol looks good enough.’
The younger brother is reading a book while eating.
Aiden’s teaching seems to fit well.
Yuhan-wol turned his head and looked inside.
Cain sits down with Aiden, sipping coffee.
Yang Gwang and Livi check their phones while having a light meal.
Jou-chang and Han-wi are having a rather heavy meal.
But compared to the food piled up next to it, it looks weak.
Brian.
His appearance reminds me of an empty seat of a person.
‘Bertran must be here for a while.’
* * *
Aiden was drinking coffee.
He suddenly opened his mouth in a low voice.
“I thought we were the best team.”
Cain, who was sitting next to him at the self-helpful words, let out a muffled voice.
“Didn’t I tell you? It’s a small number.”
“Yeah. And now that number is going to be even less. If you want to pay attention to defense in the future.”
It was a situation where the five of them went out, leaving behind Lee Dan-ah, who was left with the aftermath of an injury.
It is difficult to predict how much damage would have been done without her.
“What defenses are you worried about. Can we afford that?”
All superhumans can participate in the operation as long as the base is guaranteed not to be attacked.
To do that, you need to know how the base was discovered.
Even if it’s not, it’s something I’ve been thinking about with my head for a while.
“Hmm… I think the location of the base was exposed because I was too busy to save Zhu-Chang last time….”
At this base, I wonder if that will happen.
“I don’t know. How else will the tail be caught.”
“Hmm….”
When Aiden let out a gloomy voice, Cain’s serious tone came out.
“About 10 months in the future. It will be a year at the most. Then you will be less concerned about the attack on the base.”
Aiden looked at him as if he knew what he meant.
Much faster than expected.
“Is it going well?”
“Yeah. Hanwol-gun’s father and Do-kwang-gun are doing their part very well. Without them, this project would have been impossible…”
Aiden answered, as if he knew what he was trying to say.
“It must have been practically impossible. I was lucky.”
“Yeah. It was a good decision to have Korea as a base.”
