612 The Construction that Shocked the World (1/2)
The mysterious construction that made Capitol lose sleep…
Is actually real!
No, it was not a missile silo, it was...
Laurence's eyes widened as he stared at the scenery outside of the glass, stunned.
It was a circular ring.
From above, it was a massive circular ring two kilometers in diameter.
The light beam from the searchlight, like a spotlight on a stage, illuminated the massive and magnificent project. The colorful fishes traversed among the circle, as if they were exploring a city of metal buried in the sea. The cylindrical mechanical device (the amphibious construction robot) worked around the circular ring in an organized fashion. Not far in the distance, construction boats continuously dropped supplies into the sea before being picked up by the robots and transported elsewhere.
It was unbelievable, breathtaking!
Laurence's mouth opened wide. No words could describe the magnificence sight.
”The circular ring is the 'foundation' of the entire city. Just like what you saw, the helium room, the power room, and part of the living quarters are all on the exterior of the circular ring.” Jiang Chen smiled while speaking to the completely dazed Laurence.
”Wait, the footage you released, isn't it a city on the ocean? Why is it underneath the water!” Laurence suddenly realized and asked Jiang Chen.
”Once construction is completed, we'll inject gas into the helium room, and the entire circular ring will float.”
”This is too absurd!” The UA experts shook their heads nonstop, ”did your designers consider tidal force? Without any exaggeration, once the circular ring floats close to the sea's surface, it wouldn't take five minutes before it is shredded into pieces. If it is serious, it may potentially cause a habitat crisis on in the west Pacific Region!”
”And there is also the weather's influence. The west Pacific Ocean is common to typhoons, even if God protects your boat from not being shredded to pieces, a gust of wind will make your circular ring into a hula hoop,” Another expert said in a mocking tone.
”Haha, you guys are so humorous.” Jiang Chen laughed nonchalantly.
”We are discussing a serious matter.” Laurence narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Chen. ”Although we haven't discovered any suspicious activities, like what our experts said, your project is a complete failure from start to finish.”
”What does my failure have to do with you?” Jiang Chen glanced at Lauren with a grin forming on his face. ”When did you start caring about climate change?”
Laurence's mouth opened, but no words came out.
”Since you have already seen it, it is apparent that we didn't deploy missile silos, so could you guys please go back now?”
”No!” The UA expert suddenly said while exchanging eye contact with the other expert, ”We have only seen the overview of the construction, we haven't checked the details.”
The other expert read the hidden message inside his colleague's eyes and looked over maliciously, ”That's right, the circular ring structure is not enough to deduce if it is a missile silo or not. We need to conduct a more in-depth investigation.”
Although they didn't believe that the circular ring could really withstand tidal forces, they were still curious about the project. It was a ten billion dollar project! As long as Jiang Chen was not dumb, his designer must have thought about material integrity.
They were curious what technology Future Group possessed to have the confidence for such an absurd project.
Even if they believed that no one would be foolish enough to spend 10 billion on a random deepwater project used to disguise the construction of missile silos. Just like what Jiang Chen said, since they have the ability to complete the deployment of missiles without them being aware, there was no need to take an extraneous step.
