The five helicopters took off almost at the same time and flew towards the Wanlongdian base.
After an hour’s flight, the helicopter has arrived over the base.
It can be seen from the air that the base of Wanlongdian is currently a huge construction site, full of buildings under construction and dusty transport vehicles.
On the east side of the base, there is an airstrip that has already taken shape.
Seeing the construction of the entire base in full swing, Ye Chen couldn’t help feeling relieved.
The Wanlong Temple is currently his most powerful strike force besides himself, and it will have a very important effect on every step he takes in the future, especially in the contest with that mysterious organization, which has far-reaching significance.
Therefore, he hopes that the strength of Wanlongdian will continue to grow and improve, and his goal for the first stage of the development of Wanlongdian’s overall strength is to be able to compete with all the dead soldiers of that mysterious organization.
As for the mysterious hero, Ye Chen planned to keep it to himself and use his own strength to completely defeat him.
The helicopter landed slowly in the core area in the center of the base.
On the south side of the core area, there is a cubic building. This building is about 20 meters high. At the bottom is a huge hollow that is transparent from north to south, and a track that is much narrower than normal train tracks passes through it. .
It can be seen from the opening that inside the building is a huge lifting device made of steel frames, with a steel cable as thick as a baby’s arm hanging in the middle.
Wan Pojun introduced to Ye Chen: “Mr. Ye, this is the main shaft of the underground fortification. Its current vertical depth is about 120 meters. The first phase of the underground fortification is currently excavating horizontally at this depth. The set of lifting devices is the cage, and equipment, personnel, and excavated rocks basically come in and out from here.”
As he said that, he pointed to another similar cubic building in the distance, and introduced: “That one is the auxiliary well of the underground fortification, the depth is the same as the main well, and it is mainly responsible for ventilation and drainage of all underground working surfaces.”
Ye Chen nodded, and said: “The current spy satellites and drones are too advanced, and the ground facilities can’t even escape Google’s satellites, so the underground fortifications will be the top priority in the future.”
Wan Pojun immediately said: “Don’t worry, Mr. Ye, more than 65% of the current infrastructure budget is allocated to underground fortifications. In the future, underground fortifications will not only meet the needs of all personnel and store materials, but also shoulder Most of the daily training needs, and we will build a safe energy storage and backup energy system underground, which is enough to deal with most emergencies.”
While speaking, the lifting device under the cubic building lifted up a huge square steel cage.
Interestingly, this steel cage has two layers, the upper layer is for people, and the lower layer is for a rail mine car.
After the steel cage came to a complete stop, more than a dozen men wearing helmets standing on the upper floor came out of it and walked from the second floor to the first floor.
The workers waiting on the first floor walked directly into the steel cage on the bottom floor, fixed the traction rope on the mine cart full of gravel, and then pulled the mine cart along the track to the loading and unloading yard hundreds of meters away, while the other At one end, workers push an empty mine car into the steel cage.
Subsequently, the entire steel cage was lowered into the ground again.
After watching the whole process, Ye Chen couldn’t help frowning and said, “Pojun, relying on this kind of cage to transport people and materials straight up and down, isn’t the turnover efficiency too low? This time, at most dozens of people can go up and down, or a few tons of goods.” , even if it takes a few minutes, the efficiency is not enough in an emergency.”
Wan Pojun hurriedly said: “Mr. Ye, you are right. The current two shafts are actually configurations in the construction stage. Now the underground construction is only in the initial stage, so these two shafts are used for underground construction;”
“However, in the next step, we will build a hub building covering an area of more than 100,000 square meters on the west side of the airport runway, and then directly excavate a two-lane ramp for vehicles to enter and exit from the first floor of the hub building. well;”
“The inclined shaft will lead directly from the ground of the building to the underground fortifications, just like a tunnel with a steep slope. Once completed, all personnel, vehicles and equipment will drive up and down from here, and the overall turnover speed will increase geometrically. The convenience is comparable to that on the ground. There is no difference.”
