Chapter 634 (2/2)
Located in the inner bay of the crescent Moon Island, ISTA is just arched by the two cusps of the crescent moon. It seems that due to the geographical environment of the two islands, the current flows from both ends of the crescent Island, but forms two natural eddies around ISTA. These two vortices are the natural barriers between ISTA and the outside world. In addition to the hidden passage of the crescent Island, which directly reaches the calm bay inside the island, if you go to ISTA from both sides of the island, you will eventually be stopped by the two vortices in the sea.
This natural wonder surprised Franklin, and when he saw ISTA, he was also amazed.
ISTA is not so much a base as a factory. Of course, this factory is huge, because it occupies the whole island! There are two nuclear power stations on the left and right sides of the island. From a distance, you can see the main base connecting the nuclear power station and the center of the island. It is dusk, but there are still trucks carrying raw materials into the nuclear power plant, between the two ends of the road.
The huge chimneys in the nuclear power plant never stop discharging. While discharging a large amount of white steam, they also send an endless stream of energy to the main base through pipelines to supply various factories in the base for production. At the edge of the island, thick drainage pipes protrude from the cliff, and water is constantly discharged from there. The water is surging rapidly, splashing on the sea. From a distance, it looks like a row of waterfalls.
The main body of ISTA's base looks like a city of iron and steel, with a thick and deep atmosphere. It is also like a giant iron and steel beast perched on the sea. The steam emitted from those chimneys is its breath. On the right side of the main base, a mountain forest has been leveled. It seems to be a construction site for a new factory. All kinds of large engineering equipment are in operation. From the sea, you can hear the roar of machines coming from the other side of the island. Even the air has the smell of gasoline burning.
In his life, Franklin witnessed the magnificence and magnificence of the city of Atlantis in the air. Compared with the glorious times, ISTA was ugly and rough. But it is undeniable that it is full of surging vitality. On this steel Island, the architecture of the base is its skeleton, and the flowing energy is its blood. These things constitute another form of beauty.
The iron scale and the ships of the big three are berthed at the No. 3 Wharf in ISTA. This is a special berth for large ships. However, the main berthing point is the seat frame of the big three. Today, there is one more iron scale. An assault boat came under the scale, and the fallen wulson stood on the bow and said, ”Mr. Franklin, and captain Deborah. Please get off the ship. There is no suitable bridge here to bridge a ship of this levelDeborah yelled from the deck, ”thank you for your kindness, Lord wulson. ISTA, I won't go. I'll wait here for Franklin to come back
Wulson has no problem with the decision of flame shield. He didn't want Eastar to let the pirate leader visit. Besides, he didn't want to let outsiders hear some conversations with Franklin. So he said, ”I won't force the captain. I'll have people bring wine and food later. Please enjoy it with your crew.”
Deborah nodded, turned and grinned at Franklin. ”Go, big man. Don't worry, they won't do anything to you. ”
Franklin said sincerely to him, ”thank you, Captain Deborah.” While roaring at the Bay, he was still thinking about how to get in touch with the rebel forces such as wulson. He never thought that dibora would come back and tell him that wulson had offered to invite him to ISTA. What's more, Deborah insisted on escorting him, so as to avoid the worry of Franklin going to ISTA alone. It can be said that Deborah is really interesting.
”I'll drink with you when I get back!” Said Franklin as he disembarked.
Deborah waved goodbye to him with a smile, and the captain's smile faded as he watched wulson's assault boat sail to the dock. He lowered his head, let the shadow cover his expression: ”next time we meet, we can't say where it is.”
Turning around, Deborah said to Biga in the back, ”tell everyone, don't drink at night. Who wants me to smell wine? I promise I'll throw him into the sea to feed the fish. We have work to do in the evening
The Deputy captain nodded and gave a meaningful smile.
On the dock, the other two of the big three have already arrived. Olan, the watchman who once attacked the Mota town base and intended to rob Franklin, is the only woman among the big three, but olan is more like a white-collar woman of the old age. Always wear a well tailored office suit, even when you're sailing at sea or on an expedition. Under the miliary curly hair is a charming face. The square eyes on the face are not only simple brain, but also short-sighted glasses. Although there are few capable people with myopia, even if there are, they can be repaired by modern technology. But olan is a real nearsighted. It is said that she has a thousand degrees of myopia. I don't know if there is any connection with her high-level perceptual domain ability. However, this pair of glasses not only provides convenience, but also brings a sense of ice to olan's charming appearance.
As for the other victim, Jesse is a young soldier. Under her wine red broken hair is a handsome face, but there is a faint scar across the bridge of the nose at both ends of the cheek, as if recording a battle of life and death. Jesse's clothes are also wine red. It's a large breasted windbreaker with black soft armor sewn on the shoulder and waist. There is a red one handed sword on the back, a black belt on the waist, and two half moon blades on it. It is said that the two blades can be used as long-range throwing weapons, and can also be combined with the red sword behind to form Jesse's real weapon ”fierce teeth”.
Different from deep wulson and cold Oran. Jesse is always disdainful. He likes to look at people askew, as if there is nothing worthy of his respect in his eyes. He was a frivolous young man, Franklin said in his heart.
On the dock, two off-road vehicles are on standby. Jesse and olan jump into one of the cars, and wulson and Franklin share one. It's just that Franklin is too big for an SUV. Later, wulson simply removed the car's rear seat and threw it directly into the sea. So the SUV turned into a relatively spacious body, which made Franklin barely sit on it with his knees crossed. To this end, wulson some embarrassed: ”I'm really sorry, should have prepared a more suitable car for Mr. Franklin.”
”It doesn't matter.” With a big hand, Franklin jumped into the car with an indifferent face. Just because of his weight, the chassis of the car creaked, and finally the car just barely moved. In this way, two cars left the dock and drove along a special lane into istari. Seen from the outside of the island, ISTA looks like a huge factory, but it is still like some cities that really drive into the main body of the base.
Straight and wide streets, square and cold buildings, and soldiers everywhere constitute the special scenery of this steel city. The feeling inside ISTA is rigorous, orderly and solemn. There are two extremes in the loose and almost disordered atmosphere of freedom on the island of Hehai house, but both Haizhi house and ISTA have their own unique charm.
Seeing the buildings on both sides receding rapidly in his eyes, Franklin finally asked in a deep voice: ”Mr. wulson, it's very presumptuous to ask, but I still want to know one thing. Why did you invite me to ISTA? If there's no accident, I'm just a nobody to you? ”
Even as a man who was once the glory of Atlantis, even the will of the planet was respected. But in the new era, Franklin is a real nobody. But wulson said with a smile, ”no, Mr. Franklin. Please don't underestimate your own value. For us or the papal chamber, your share of value is huge enough to affect the balance between wars! ”
