Song He took the USB Drive, plugged it into the computer, and displayed it on the floor-to-ceiling window.
A password screen appeared first. General Wang recited a string of numbers, and Song He entered the password, successfully logging in.
There was only one folder. When he opened it, a series of pictures appeared. Starting from the first, he browsed through them and was stunned to see a gigantic map of the Moon!
The map was densely marked with information: the Moon's longitude and latitude, the Lunar Base, and famous Ring Mountains, all of which could be used to determine locations. The truly valuable information consisted of scattered red-marked areas. There were 76 locations in total, with irregular patches of various sizes in light red and bright red, along with two extremely conspicuous purplish-red areas.
"The red areas are mining zones," General Wang explained. "The purplish-red areas have already been drilled and found to contain high-grade ore. The bright-red areas show strong signs of ore, while the light-red areas merely have a certain possibility of containing ore."
"That many!" Song He and Xiang Xiaotong exclaimed in shock at the same time.
"Turn the page," General Wang said.
Song He flipped through the pictures. Detailed information on each mining zone appeared, including drilled rock and soil samples, composition analysis tables, and data derived from ore prospecting models.
