Chapter 289 Cargo Ship
Flight is achieved by utilizing the 'internal stress' generated by gravitational deflection. This is the conclusion reached by numerous experts after studying Type 2, through analysis and cross-review.

In other words, extraterrestrial spacecraft do not create their own magnetic fields and move by interacting with the magnetic fields of planets, as experts have thought. Instead, they influence the gravitational waves that humans can currently only observe.

That's right. Humans can only observe gravitational waves at present, but cannot influence them to the point of flight. The fact that aliens have mastered this kind of flight is something that experts are sweating bullets with, but it is not unexpected. After all, opening the Einstein-Rosen bridge itself is a kind of ability to manipulate gravitational waves.

However, manipulating gravitational waves on a large device and using gravitational waves on a spacecraft are two completely different concepts. The experts also felt somewhat puzzled by what Krupa said, which was translated as "Holy Relic".

It sounds like something from a grave excavation or archaeology project, which reminds the people at Tokyo University of their northern neighbor, who always finds some strange and unusual things in old Soviet facilities and then uses them to upgrade modern technology.

How much longer until we complete the research?

"It will take at least another week."

The old leader nodded, his gaze fixed on the synchronized screen in the laboratory. In the screen, Lupa was being remotely controlled from the air. Every time Lupa activated a module on the aircraft, the experts' breathing became heavier.

However, their time is not unlimited. Rupa, this "alien laborer," will soon be going back to be a spy, a human agent planted within the alien civilization's system.

"By the way, how's the investigation into the rebel group going?"

"Sir, we're still tracking it. We haven't obtained much intelligence internally, but the combat support department has caught up with some leads and is currently tracking them."

The intelligence department of the University of Tokyo is not as well-known in the world as the CIA and KGB, but it is still a force to be reckoned with. Because of its low profile, many people are not very familiar with it. However, as a mysterious force in the East, it has its own expertise in intelligence gathering.

"Based on our calculations, the rebel headquarters is very likely not on land."

While setting up headquarters on land has its advantages, it is ultimately a fixed location. Even if it can be concealed for a while, another problem arises: with prolonged input and output, it will eventually be exposed, and the enemy can find its location by following the clues, just like the exposed facilities on Guam.

Then, following the clues, they found their way to the Thousand Islands.
Where will they place their important personnel?

"Sir, based on our analysis and deduction, the most suitable facility for concealment with sufficient space is most likely a large, modified cargo ship. At the same time, if important personnel need to be transferred, the fastest way to move them is by air."

Listening to the staff officer's words, the old commander began to ponder.

According to them, the rebels likely possess a large cargo ship or a modified large aerial platform.

Although these two items are strictly managed, their ownership issues can be circumvented by affiliating them with other entities. However, their constant movement undoubtedly increases the difficulty of searching for them.

"Any clues?"

"We are investigating."

"ASAP."

"Understood!" We can't put all our eggs in one basket. The University of Tokyo needs to find the rebel headquarters through its investigation, and also utilize Rupa, the spy, to eradicate those cancerous cells within humanity as quickly as possible.

Meanwhile, a 100,000-ton cargo ship is passing through the Panama Canal.

Compared to the distant and mysterious East, in the Americas, money can solve most problems.

The cargo ship slowly passed through the Panama Canal, and after paying its fee, it entered the Atlantic Ocean from the Pacific Ocean, preparing to head to Europe.

Currently, the Pacific Ocean has become a no-go zone for shipping, and almost all shipping companies are avoiding routes that pass through the Pacific.

Now, whether in the Western Pacific or the Eastern Pacific, humans and aliens are practically locked in a fierce battle. Especially in the Eastern Pacific, after several subsequent attack clusters from alien civilizations joined the offensive, the United States' defenses have become increasingly strained, and Hawaii is starting to be in grave danger. The main reason for this is the issue of weapons production capacity.

Various rare earth raw materials and industrial parts cannot be purchased from the University of Tokyo. Due to the war, the University of Tokyo has restricted the export of strategic materials, and the export volume of ordinary materials is also restricted. Even if some people want to be dogs, they will soon be beaten on the head by the iron fist.

After a long journey by air and land, the goods are transported from Europe to the United States, and then through various state-to-state transport. Only Americans can truly understand the process.

The long transportation lines greatly increase transportation costs, losses, and time, significantly reducing efficiency. Without purchasing from Dongda, other countries simply do not have sufficient production capacity, or even equipment.

Especially in North America, with Canada above and Mexico below, the United States' industrial capacity is barely enough to fill a tooth gap. Meanwhile, Mexico is completely disregarding the tense situation and is smuggling eggs and various parts from who-knows-where into the United States every day.

During wartime, these were extremely profitable industries, even more so than the original leaves. After all, life will find a way, and as long as the price of other goods is higher than that of leaves, people will naturally turn their attention to those high-profit items.

On this 100,000-ton cargo ship, in an inconspicuous cabin, there is an exquisitely decorated room with expensive solid wood floors, fine European-style furniture, and crystal chandeliers.

A man who looked to be in his fifties stood in front of a crystal. Inside the crystal was a simple symbol. When light shone on the symbol, it emitted a seven-colored fluorescence.

The man gazed at the seven-colored crystal before him with fascination, as if he were looking at the tears of the Virgin Mary.

"What have they been doing lately?" the middle-aged man said softly.

"Master, our base in the Thousand Islands has self-destructed."

"It's alright, we've only lost one base, but victory will ultimately be ours."

"Yes! It is your will."

After speaking, the middle-aged man looked at the world map in the room and narrowed his eyes. The tactics that he had discussed with the University of Tokyo were also put on hold due to the problems inside Guam, and the University of Tokyo only provided limited assistance to it with intercontinental ballistic missiles.

At this point, it's necessary to try and undermine Tokyo University. Of course, this doesn't mean actually challenging Tokyo University; they have virtually no control over Tokyo University, but they have the most control in Europe and America.
