Chapter 158 Base Progress

The elevator swished downwards quickly. The entire passage was covered with silver-white metal material, and every time it passed a certain distance, a small light would pass by. Coupled with the reflection of the silver-white material, the downward passage was not smooth. As dark as it is, it feels a bit bright.

As the lifting platform descended, and the lifting platform was open, the cold wind kept blowing up from below, blowing the corners of Dong Chen's clothes and hair, and the lights that flashed every distance also His face flashed across his face, reflecting his handsome face, which had a very different kind of charm.

Of course, the above scenes in Dong Chen's memory may be some scenes from animations or movies. The real situation is that there is no well-constructed elevator passage, no silver-white metal materials in the elevator passage, and no lighting. The entire passage is pitch black and nothing can be seen.

Originally, what kind of lighting is needed for a fully intelligent construction site, and human construction is not required. The laser ranging and scanning device of intelligent machinery solves all problems.

And the most important thing is that Dong Chen has no hair. The wind blowing from below did blow the corners of his clothes, but when the wind passed by his head, it couldn't make any waves. He was as steady as a mountain, unlike those who rode on the lift. The voluptuous bitches with flying hair are nothing like them.

This was a temporary elevator, which was used to transport equipment downwards in the first few days. At the beginning, there was only one piece of equipment digging the downward passage, so it was relatively slow in the early stage. It was not built until the official start of digging underground space. You need to use this lift to transport the equipment down, and then assemble it below before it can be used, because this lift platform is not big or small, that is, it is a two-meter-and-a-half-meter square platform. Since it is indoors, it cannot be too big. .

After all the equipment is transported, its role will not be too great. It will only be used when the robot regularly transports replacement batteries. Dong Chen's task this time is to build a temporary production workshop here. , because the initial space below has been dug out, and more materials and equipment will be needed to expand downward or sideways.

Because if it expands further, these existing machines will obviously not be enough, so he will have to transport more materials and production equipment. He will need more robots.

Just when Dong Chen was thinking about things, a bright light appeared under the descending elevator, and then the light jumped out immediately, making Dong Chen, who was used to darkness, narrow his eyes slightly. He had entered the main space of the base.

This is a huge underground space. There are several big lights placed in the corners. The intelligent excavation machines around are still working continuously. They also have lights on, illuminating most of this huge space. It was very bright, with only some corners not being illuminated. This was obviously prepared for Dong Chen, because he was the only one who needed brightness to see things here.

The intelligent excavation machinery continuously digs out the soil, then crushes it and transports the powdered soil to the large jar in the middle of the body. Then, after going through a series of compression and high-temperature and high-pressure environments, some of the soil he picked up from the Academy of Radiation World is added. The reagents he took out were used to prepare the special materials he needed to bond and strengthen the building.

Then the intelligent excavation machinery will inject the prepared reinforcement solution into the surrounding walls every time it advances a certain distance. The top of the underground base has been reinforced, so it has not yet been supported by support columns, making the entire space look abnormal. Empty, this is the role of the reinforcement solution. You must know that this is not a rock layer. As for the feet, forget it, we still have to dig deeper according to the plan.

The lifting platform stopped steadily on the ground. Dong Chen finally arrived underground. This distance was a full 280 meters. The height of this space alone now exceeds 15 meters and the length exceeds 100 meters. It is still expanding according to the design plan.

This is Dong Chen's first time here. At this time, Dong Chen is walking and looking at the various data displayed on No. 1's glasses. All the materials displayed on it have been exhausted, whether they are reagents used to prepare soil bonding reinforcement solutions. , various replacement parts, or various building materials needed next, all need Dong Chen to transport them here.

Fortunately, this place is close to the sea. As long as a tunnel is drilled to the seaside, there will be a steady supply of water, which can then be filtered and used for solution preparation. Moreover, due to the soil reinforcement solution, Dong Chen can save a lot of water. Cement will undoubtedly reduce part of Dong Chen's work, because all these things have to be moved out bit by bit by Dong Chen, unless he wants people to know that he has built an underground base here.

Dong Chen curiously walked to the wall and touched the reinforced wall. It felt extremely solid. According to the data, after its reinforcement, the strength of the soil can reach about 70% of that of ordinary steel. After the soil is strengthened, the color will change. It became slightly lighter than the original color. Dong Chen looked around and clearly saw several unreinforced places near the ocean, which were reserved for exits.

Because so far this base has only one exit, which is Dong Chen’s laboratory, and the diameter of the entrance and exit is still very small. It is difficult to send some parts and machinery inside in the early stage, let alone the large-scale equipment manufactured in the later stage. There is no such thing on land. It's easy to deal with, so we can only find a way toward the ocean.

As long as it extends a few hundred meters into the ocean from here, the water depth can generally reach more than 200 meters. What's more, after Dong Chen scanned the nearby continental shelf, he also discovered a relatively deep sea seam, which is close to the starting point of the sea seam on the mainland. The water depth reached more than 400 meters. This is a sea seam extending to the ocean formed by ancient geological changes. On the side close to the land, there is a small cliff face of more than 100 meters wide. This is simply tailor-made for Dong Chen's base. Entrance and exit.

Dong Chen could also consider developing the shipbuilding industry and directly buy the half-dead small shipyard next to him. Then he could expand the dock and open an underwater entrance directly there. Moreover, the shipbuilding industry is also a heavy industry, so buying it would also be a good idea. It is understandable that if the national policy is liberalized in the future, it may be possible to contract the country's warship and aircraft carrier construction tasks. However, according to the development of domestic national conditions, the possibility is not very high, unless something extraordinary happens.

I just don’t know if he only develops and manufactures equipment other than weapons. If he only manufactures the entire hull, energy, propulsion, radar and other equipment, he will then leave the corresponding weapon ports. After completion, all the equipment will be manufactured by him. The weapons are equipped and installed by the state itself. I don’t know if this success rate will be higher.

Dong Chen feels that this matter has great potential. After all, this place pursues stability and all weapons are strictly controlled. But as long as you don't touch the weapons, everything else is easier to talk about. It seems that you should wait until you have the opportunity to do it well. Discuss this matter with the bureau chief. Just thinking about this question, Dong Chen remembered that the bureau chief also took away one of his flying skateboards. He didn't know if the argument was over now, or if he was busy with other big things and had forgotten about his flying skateboard. .

After all, the price of military flying skateboards is not cheap. It can only be used as special-purpose equipment. Although it has superior performance, it cannot be used by the entire army. It is tactical rather than strategic equipment, and its use is also subject to various restrictions. If you want to raid the opponent's capital, If there is no good transport plane to transport you there, then you will be stuck. So it is really not a big thing for the entire military. For them, aircraft carriers, warships, missiles, fighter jets, etc., are important things.

Dong Chen was really thinking more and more. He shook his head to disperse his current thoughts. Looking at the empty underground base, how he transported materials and equipment out of the game world in large quantities was the most important thing now.
