Chapter 199 (1/2)

In the northern part of the Republic of Mali, near the equator, there is a military restricted zone of hundreds of square kilometers.

Five large military bases encircle the forbidden area in the middle, with a layer of high-voltage wire fence at the outside, and a four meter high wall inside to completely isolate the area from the outside world.

Standing on a mountain in the distance, through a telescope, you can see five skyscrapers and a tower of gray concrete in this military restricted zone.

Biological displays are installed above the buildings in this area. When there are activities, there will be a large biological display to cover the whole camp, so that the outside world can not find out what is going on in this area through satellite.

On February 1, 2002, the weather was clear and cloudless.

A convoy of ten Velociraptor armored vehicles was slowly approaching the military restricted area.

Several armed helicopters flew quickly over the convoy, but when they approached the military restricted zone, they stopped moving and stayed outside an invisible cordon.

Within 10 kilometers of the military restricted zone, there is a no fly zone, which is inaccessible to both military and civilian aircraft. More than ten anti-aircraft guns and various types of air defense missiles in the base are constantly monitoring this airspace.

When the convoy came to a military base serving as the entrance, dozens of soldiers in strong colonial armor came out of the open door carrying heavy machine guns and individual rockets, and came to the convoy on guard.

”Show me your papers!” A guard came to the front of the armored car and patted the body.

”It's me.” In the middle of the team, the side armor of a black lengthened armored vehicle was drawn upward, revealing a thick layer of bulletproof glass. Tang sat inside and sent a spiritual message to a dead man standing above the gate.

”It's the boss. Open the door!” The dead man nodded and pressed several switches in front of him. At this time, the second gate began to scratch to both sides, revealing a road leading to the base.

Tang's body armor closed again and the team sped into the base.

More than ten minutes later, Tang came to the huge tower in the center of the military restricted zone.

Below the 150 meter high concrete tower is a huge pit with a depth of three kilometers. Standing above the pit, you can see layers of flashing lights in the pit.

”How are you getting ready?” Tang Shizhe and others took an elevator inlaid in the inner side of the pit and began to descend toward the ground.

”The fuel has been filled up and we are waiting for your order.” A researcher in charge of leading the way pushed his glasses nervously.

Since his company was acquired by Titan group, he has been assigned to this shitty military base. In this year and a half, he devoted all his energy to the building under them!

Today is the date when the planned building will be put into use for the first time. His heart is very nervous for fear of any mistakes.

Looking at the corridors and protective boards inlaid on the pit wall outside the elevator, Tang Shizhe felt a surge of emotion. His dream for many years was finally coming true. Today, the world will march into a new era.

A few minutes later, the high-speed elevator stopped at the bottom of the pit. At this time, a line of people saw the 50 meter high white rocket standing at the bottom of the pit.

Several robotic arms held the rocket firmly to five elevators on the track around the tunnel.

Because the fuel has been filled up, the rocket is now ready to launch, and all the staff around the rocket have been evacuated to a safe area.

Tang Shizhe was led by the researchers to a control room inside the wall above the rocket. A 10 meter high reinforced glass allows the staff in the control room to see all the conditions in the hole clearly.

”Titan-1 launch vehicle ready to launch! All personnel in place! ” A staff member saw Tang sit down, picked up the phone and yelled.

All the staff immediately trotted back to their posts, while the lights in the control room began to dim.
