As the sun sets, the temperature in the desert begins to drop. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In less than midnight, the temperature has dropped from the highest temperature of 36 degrees Celsius during the day to below 5 degrees Celsius, and the maximum temperature difference between day and night is more than 30 degrees Celsius.

The change in wind is exactly the opposite of the change in temperature, and the wind starts to blow after nightfall, and it is even more windy in the middle of the night.

After quietly lurking for three hours, Liu Wei quietly left the hiding place, followed the route he came, followed the footprints left by wild animals, quietly walked through the desert for more than 20 kilometers, and two hours later came to the side of the interstate highway and caught an off-road vehicle that had already been parked on the side of the road.

"How?" Zhou Yulong waited a little impatiently.

Although Dian Bin prepared camouflage suits for them with infrared radiation isolation, for the sake of insurance, Liu Wei did not let Zhou Yulong and Mobei Wolf go with him, and completed the reconnaissance work alone.

"As Situ Wenhui said, I didn't find anything."

"What does this mean?" Mobei Wolf took out the sandalwood cigarette case containing the cigar and handed one to Liu Wei. After winning the "North American Gambling Championship", Capua bought a whole box of Cohiba brand cigars and five sandalwood cigarette boxes inlaid with gems from Cuba through special channels and gave them to Liu Wei.

There were 2,000 cigars in that box, and the market price was half a million dollars.

Cigarette packs are more expensive, with the gems on them alone costing hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Of course, for Capua, it's just a small amount of money.

Lighting a cigar, Liu Weicai said, "I can't explain anything." Situ Wenhui is right, even if we know that the experimental base of the 'Future Soldier' is in the Grand Canyon, but with the current means, it is impossible to find it at all, and it is impossible to search carefully. ”

"What then?"

Liu Wei sighed and asked Zhou Yulong to drive back.

Before coming over, Situ Wenhui said that even if he knew that the experimental base of the "Future Soldier" was in the Grand Canyon, there was no way to find it. Szeto concluded that the experimental base was in the Grand Canyon for a simple reason: it needed an adequate power supply, and the Hoover Dam was nearby.

The power station, which lights up most of the southwestern United States, will provide enough power for the experimental site.

What's more, Liu Wei and his team discovered a secret experimental base in Afghanistan that was abandoned more than a year ago, and two years ago, the Hoover Dam began large-scale overhaul, and it has not ended until now. As a result, the Hoover Dam's power generation has plummeted by one-third, but the actual amount of water discharged from Lake Mead is comparable to that of previous years.

In other words, if the Hoover Dam is not overhauled, one-third of the electricity will be missing.

How big is this electricity?

After the third expansion, the Hoover Dam is equipped with 13 130,000 kilowatts, two 127,000 kilowatts, 1 68,500 kilowatts, and one 61,500 kilowatts, a total of 17 generating units, with a total installed capacity of 2.08 million kilowatts, one-third of which is 700,000 kilowatts, which can light up all the electric lights in Los Angeles!

In a year and a half, about 9.2 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity from the Hoover Dam are unknown.

It can be said that this data is very scary.

You must know that when Liu Wei completed the transformation of FOS, the FOS base consumed a total of 1.2 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, and the operation time was as long as 14 years.

If all of the 9.2 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity were fed to the Future Soldier project, it would consume seven times as much electricity as FOS.

In scientific research projects, the major consumers of electricity are the instruments and equipment. Because the instrumentation and equipment in the United States are already very advanced, especially the microprocessor, which is certainly much better than the FOS project, the power consumption rate of six times more means that the "Future Soldier" project has more equipment and has been studied more extensively.

The whereabouts of Professor Beard are also telling.

In the FOS project, because Yuan Changqing did not know much about the nervous system, and there were no top experts in this field in China, the nervous system modification was not included in it.

To study the nervous system, the most important thing is powerful computing power.

Optimistically, at today's rate of computer development, it will take at least two hundred years for a computer to initially simulate the human brain and complete the equivalent of an insect's nervous system, even if Moore's Law is not considered to be broken after the development of microelectronics technology reaches its limits.

In other words, it takes a lot of supercomputers and a lot of computational time to build a mathematical model of the human brain and nervous system and simulate it with a computer.

For this, a lot of electricity is inevitably consumed.

You know, the world's fastest supercomputer consumes as much electricity as a small town of 50,000 people when it runs at full speed.

These are enough to prove that Situ Wenhui's guess is not wrong.

The problem is that the experimental base is very hidden, it must be underground, maybe it is still a few hundred meters underground, and Liu Wei can't find it at all.

Liu Wei had thought of other methods, such as investigating the construction of large-scale projects in the area in the last decade or so.

As a result, Situ Wenhui ruthlessly destroyed his thoughts.

As early as the Cold War, the Colorado Plateau was one of the concentration areas of strategic nuclear weapons of the United States, with hundreds or thousands of strategic ballistic missiles deployed, as well as large underground facilities such as underground nuclear weapons warehouses and underground strategic command centers. These strategic facilities are not very far apart, and they can be opened underground.

If the United States had built its experimental base on the Colorado Plateau, it would have been able to take advantage of these underground facilities.

In order to prove this statement, Situ Wenhui also mentioned one thing, that is, Area 51, which many people believe to hide alien corpses and alien civilization vehicles, is on the Colorado Plateau.

"District 51" is just a nickname given by the people, and its real name is Nelly Air Force Base, which is located on the bed of a dry lake about 150 kilometers north of Las Vegas.

Besides, it would be easy to hide a few bases in this plateau desert, an area equivalent to one-fifth of the continental United States, that is, about 1.6 million square kilometers. It's like in the northwest of the continent, especially in the hinterland of the Taklamakan Desert, there are also many secret bases.

"You have to start with something else."

"In what way?"

Liu Wei suddenly spoke, not surprising Zhou Yulong and Mobei Wolf, because every time he thought about a problem, he would remain silent and only speak when he thought of a way.

"Let's go back, I have to talk to Situ Wenhui."

Back at the hotel, Liu Wei immediately found Situ Wenhui, who stayed with Dian Bin and waited for news.

"Miss Situ, tell me what you think, and we'll discuss it."

"I don't think I'll have to say it again, you've already thought about it."

The method proposed by Situ Wenhui is very simple: let Liu Wei follow the method of infiltrating the FPF experimental base and enter the experimental base in the way of [***] experimental identity.

Dian Bin immediately objected, arguing that it was too risky.

The Yankees are not small, if they don't do it well, they will lose their wives and soldiers, and they will definitely not take advantage.

Liu Wei also felt that it was not feasible, mainly because it was not a safety issue, but that it would take a lot of time.

According to the strategy provided by Situ Wenhui, after the United States transfers the "Future Soldier" experimental base to China, it will definitely need to find a way to obtain a large number of [***] experimental subjects from the outside world. The most effective way to do this is to start with strategic areas. In the past few years, the United States has fought several wars around the world, and has been assisting Peru, Colombia and other countries in Latin America to deal with drug lords.

It is up to the political axe department or the military to do it, and the politicians take too much risk, and even the president will be killed after leaking the secrets.

For this reason, we can only invite private forces.

Gangs across the United States, especially those with ties to the overseas underground, have become ideal spokesmen.

The method proposed by Situ Wenhui is to use the relationship with the Capua family to develop and form a gang, or control a certain gang, and try to attract the attention of the US authorities and become a supplier of "future soldiers", so as to gain access to the experimental base.

The solution is good, but Liu Wei doesn't have that much time.

The United States is much larger, with a land area 30 times larger, a population three times that of the United States, and several times the size of gang organizations. If you want to mix the storm, it is simply impossible in a few years. In a few years, the "Soldier of the Future" project will probably have already entered the practical stage.

Besides, for such a major project, even if it is entrusted to a gang, it will look for those who are trustworthy and absolutely reliable.

Regardless of whether Liu Wei founded a gang on his own or tried to control a certain gang, it is difficult to attract the attention of the US authorities. Even if it is taken seriously, it will be suppressed, and the result will not be much better.

"I have a solution, I don't know if it's feasible or not."

"What's the solution?" Situ Wenhui did not underestimate Liu Wei's command, and the guy who could get rid of the FPF experimental base and make the chicken dog restless would definitely not be far behind.

"No matter how secretive the experimental base is, it will definitely communicate with the outside world. Of course, if it were me, I would choose a wired communication system such as optical fiber, and bury the communication lines in the ground and wrap them in an insulating layer. It's just that the 'Future Soldier' project consumes about 6 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity every year, and there must be a lot of electronic equipment, and the scale is very large. These devices will certainly emit very strong electronic radiation that cannot be completely shielded. ”

"You mean, with an electromagnetic radiation detector?"

Liu Wei nodded, indicating that this was what he meant.

"How do you get it in?" Situ Wenhui smiled, meaning that she had already thought about it. "The experimental base should not be far from the Nelly Air Force Base, which is a no-fly zone, not to mention airplanes, and even paragliders can't get close. All roads into the area have checkpoints, as well as covert surveillance systems. Even if they don't take the road, the Yankees have deployed a lot of detection equipment near the experimental base, and even metal detectors, which cannot be approached at all. ”

"What if it's not a device, but a person?"

"People!?" Situ Wenhui was stunned for a moment.

"If this person can feel the electromagnetic radiation and send him over, he can determine the general location of the experimental base, and then squat and wait, he can find the entrance to the experimental base, right?"

"How can there be such a person?"

Liu Wei laughed, and the Mobei wolf also laughed, only Zhou Yulong and Dian Bin were a little confused.
