Five helicopters took off almost at the same time and flew towards the Wanlongdian base.
After an hour's flight, the helicopter had arrived over the base.
It can be seen from the air that the base of Wanlong Palace is currently a huge construction site, with buildings under construction and dusty transportation vehicles everywhere.
On the east side of the base, there is an airstrip that has begun to take shape.
Seeing the entire base being under construction in full swing, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.
Wanlong Palace is currently his strongest strike force besides himself. It will play a very important role in every step he takes in the future, especially in the contest with that mysterious organization. It is of far-reaching significance.
Therefore, he hopes that the strength of Wanlong Palace can continue to grow and improve, and his goal for the first stage of the development of Wanlong Palace's overall strength is to be able to compete with all the dead soldiers of that mysterious organization.
As for the mysterious British Master, Ye Chen planned to keep it to himself and use his own power to defeat him completely.
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 and transparent void from north to south, and a track that is much narrower than a normal train track runs through it.
.
From the overhang, you can see 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 fortifications. Its current vertical depth is about 120 meters. The current first phase of the underground fortifications is lateral excavation at this depth. This
The lifting device is the cage, equipment, personnel and excavated rocks, which basically all come in and out from here."
As he spoke, he pointed to another similar cubic building in the distance and introduced: "That one is an auxiliary shaft of the underground fortifications, with the same depth as the main shaft. It is mainly responsible for ventilation and drainage of all underground working surfaces."
Ye Chen nodded and said: "Today's spy satellites and drones are too advanced. Even the ground facilities cannot escape Google's satellites, so underground fortifications will be the top priority in the future."
Wan Pojun immediately said: "Mr. Ye, don't worry. In the current infrastructure budget, more than 65% of the budget has been allocated to underground fortifications. The future underground fortifications will not only meet the needs of all personnel, store materials, but also shoulder the burden of
Most of the daily training needs, and we will establish safe energy storage and backup energy systems underground, which are enough to deal with most emergencies."
While talking, the lifting device under the cubic building lifted up a huge square steel cage.
What’s interesting is that this steel cage has two floors. People are standing on the upper floor, and a rail mine car is parked on the lower floor.
After the steel cage came to a stop, more than ten men wearing helmets standing on the upper floor walked out and walked from the second floor stairs to the first floor.
The waiting workers on the first floor walked directly into the steel cage on the bottom floor, fixed the traction rope on the mine cart filled with gravel, and then towed the mine cart along the track to the loading and unloading dock hundreds of meters away.
At the other end, workers pushed an empty mine car into the steel cage.
Subsequently, the entire steel cage descended into the ground again.
After Ye Chen read the whole process, he couldn't help frowning and said: "Pojun, all relying on this kind of straight up and down cages to transport people and materials, isn't the turnover efficiency too low? This time, at most, dozens of people, or several tons of goods, can be transported up and down.
, even if it takes a few minutes, the efficiency will be a drop in the bucket in an emergency."
Wan Pojun said quickly: "Mr. Ye, you are right. The current two shafts are actually configured during the construction stage. The underground fortifications are still 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 dig a two-lane road directly from the inside of the hub building for vehicles to enter and exit.
inclined shaft;"
"The inclined shaft will go directly from the ground of the building to the underground works, just like a tunnel with a relatively steep slope. Once it is completed, people, vehicles and equipment will all drive up and down from here. The overall turnover speed will increase geometrically, and the convenience will not be any different from that on the ground.
