Chapter 3233 (1/2)
It has to be said that you can't even think about the wonderful ideas of Americans in China. A group of us lay in this kind of coffin and ran for more than ten kilometers with pedals. Finally, we arrived near the launch site.
The biggest difficulty in getting close to this place is the open space around. The launch site is located on the Gobi desert without any obstacles. Within 200 kilometers, there are no man's land, and the local plants are sparse, and the height is not more than one meter. What's more, the terrain is peaceful and almost no ups and downs. Under normal circumstances, it's very difficult to get close to this kind of place without being found, but today we have taken advantage of it.
Because of the heavy rain, the visibility in this area is less than five meters, which is enough to let us approach here quietly without fear of being found. In addition, the ugly coffin made in the United States makes it impossible for us to use the detector.
The huge immigration boat is like a giant beast hidden in the rain curtain, and the people who look at the huge shadow are upset. We were careful to get close to the underground base entrance under the launch platform. The entrance is half buried and only more than one meter high on the ground. It looks like a turtle shell buckled on the ground. This is the design specification of the standard air defense shelter.
When we got to the door, the first thing we saw was a rusty iron door, which had not been used for a long time.
In fact, if there were no accidents, the door would have not been opened for at least 20 years.
Of course, the ark base wasn't built 20 years ago. After all, we didn't know there was a solar terminator flying towards the solar system. In fact, the ark base was expanded from an abandoned ballistic missile base in the United States, and this door is not the gate used by the ark base, but the emergency evacuation door used by the original missile base. According to the drawings provided by the U.S. government, there should be a passage behind the gate to connect to the ark base, but this section here should be completely abandoned. The real ark base has its own entrance and exit, not only larger than this, but also updated.
Because the passageway inside the entrance has been abandoned, there is no monitor installed here. Even the electronic lock of the gate is broken. Even if we have a password, we can't get in. The battery on the door lock has been dead for a long time.
As we quickly approached the gate, we did not intrude directly. Instead, we listened to what was going on inside. As a result, we only heard a regular hum, which should be the sound of some kind of mechanical equipment rather than human voice.
”Pepper.” I gave a low cry.
Pepper quickly opened his palm and stuck it on the door lock. Then he saw that the door lock began to turn red. Then Chili's hand slowly inserted into the lock. Suddenly, he grasped something and pulled it out. A molten metal ball was pulled out. This is the lock cylinder. Without it, the bolt on the lock will lose its support.
After dissolving the door lock, I tried to push the door and found it didn't move. Although the door lock has been removed, the door has not been opened for 20 years. The metal door shaft has been completely rusted to death. Even the door panel and the door frame have become a whole piece. No way, we had to dissolve the door shaft, and then the whole door was removed.
As soon as we got down the gate, we saw the passage behind it, but now it's completely dark. I don't need to remind you, you switch your eyes to the infrared band, and then you start to move on. Now the scene of the tunnel Neide is as clear in our eyes as the light is on, but the color of the picture is a little strange.
The design of this passage is quite unique, first a small section downward, then a transverse corridor, turn a corner to continue downward, and then turn laterally. It's actually a design to confuse people. On the surface, these downward channels and transverse channels all turn at 90 degrees. In fact, the steering angle is not 90 degrees, but there is a certain deviation. Of course, the deviation of each turn is not big, but because there are so many curves in this passage that people can't tell the southeast, the northwest and the northwest even if they have a good sense of direction. Of course, it doesn't work for us. We dragon people have the general accuracy of the computer, no matter how many turns the body can accurately know the direction they are facing.
After a long walk along the passage, we came across a collapsed passage. This is why the ark base does not set up inspection points here. Because there is a section of landslide in the middle of this passage, ordinary people can't get through it at all. Large equipment is needed to excavate the channel, so there is no need to fortify this channel at all.
Of course, we don't have the ability to dig this channel. After all, we are fighters, not siege machines. Although we have the physical strength, we don't have time to do this.
