Inside the mecha transport vehicle, a bespectacled middle-aged man stood in front of a holographic sand table.
At that moment, a three-dimensional model appeared on the holographic sand table. It was a terrain model of a certain region.
Complex passageways could be seen beneath the ground in this area.
Captain Luo stood on the other side of the holographic sand table and said to the bespectacled middle-aged man, "Professor Xin, this is our destination—the place where the Golden Apple is stored?"
The man, whose full name was Xin Zeyang, smiled and nodded. "That's right, Captain Luo."
"I've read the information sent over by the Strategic Affairs Department. I then compared the modern terrain with the terrain from the eighteenth century and used that information to create this model."
Xin Zeyang was a geological expert at the research station of the Aegean Sea base. From the counterfeit Golden Apple provided by Ma Tao, the Strategic Affairs Department had obtained a set of coordinates.
The Ma family's ancestors had stored the real Golden Apple at those coordinates. They had also indicated that the Golden Apple was stored more than two hundred meters underground.
At that moment, Xin Zeyang pointed at the model on the holographic sand table and spoke.
"I looked through the records. In the eighteenth century, there was a silver mine here."
"It belonged to a jeweler. The silver mined here was all used to make various kinds of jewelry."
"However, the silver mine was closed in the late eighteenth century. Supposedly, the jeweler went bankrupt."
"But judging from the present situation, the owner of the silver mine at the time—the jeweler—should have been an ancestor of the Ma family."
"They left Greece, so they closed the silver mine and stored the Golden Apple deep inside it."
Captain Luo nodded.
