At the speed of an airship, flying from Qin Island to Area 51 in the Taklamakan Desert will not take too long. The setting sun cast its last yellow glow over the desert, and it fell on the ground in a sizable-looking air base.

Curiously, however, there are not as many hangars as at a normal airport. Aside from the empty runways and airship landing devices, there are not as many facilities as other airports.

Even the searchlights and anti-aircraft equipment such as the "Phalanx" and searchlights on the military airfield cannot be seen, does this base not need to be fortified at all?

Here you can also see some very striking things, at least things that don't appear anywhere else.

The antenna on a building is slowly rotating. I'm sure you know what it is, but there are a few other things that might surprise you.

This anti-aircraft warning radar is a search equipment developed on the basis of the radar data obtained by the "MI5" from the United Kingdom, combined with the research results of the Chinese Federation, and combined with printing, integrated circuits, and television systems.

At present, although the radar is almost ready to enter the practical stage, before the approval of the "Science and Technology Development Committee" managed by Wang Zhu, these science and technology are within the scope of top-secret information. Due to the heavy protection of the air and ground of the Chinese Federal Army, it is difficult for these materials to leave the desert range.

In addition to the things that he saw on the ground that could make Tang Yunyang's heart warm, there were other things that could not be known from the outside. Although he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the "Yuying" and looked at the empty airport below, there was nothing to see here.

The two people in the know, Li Shizeng and Wang Zhu, glanced at each other, and the corners of their mouths swayed with gentle laugh lines. In the face of the things that Tang Yunyang had been expecting, none of them were willing to uncover the mystery.

Tang Yunyang has a considerable understanding of Area 51, the most cutting-edge and most concentrated place of military science and technology research in the Chinese Federation. Originally, it was a rather lively air base. Even at the time of the demonstration of the original aerial rocket launcher "Steel Rain", it was still a lively land.

But now, the air base below seems to have been completely abandoned, except for the lights of the tower. There was not a single figure in the sky, not even the usual ground crew.

"Can anyone tell me what's changed in this place?"

Looking at the people around you, you can see that they have all discussed it, or have received some relevant orders. None of the insiders revealed the news, only the officers led by Tang Yunyang and Li Erpole looked at each other one by one, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.

Even the "gangways" that connect to the airship's cockpit are completely made of opaque materials, and the people on the airship seem to be going down from these seemingly excessively long gangways all the way down to the ground.

Where the gangway is connected, it is a longer escalator staircase that extends diagonally into the ground. Tang Yunyang didn't see the person in charge of the base, he had always wondered how he hadn't been to Area 51 in a short period of time was completely different from what he remembered.

According to the degree and length of the tilt of the automatic staircase, Tang Yunyang estimated that the place where the staircase reached was at least 30 meters underground. At the exit ahead, as the stairs moved closer and closer, they finally opened up in the bright light.

From the welcoming crowd, Tang Yunyang could see that this was a base composed of scientific research scholars and military security forces. The person in charge of scientific research is obviously Ba Yuzao, and as for the military aspect, Wang Tongwu graduated from the French Saint-Cyr Military Academy.

"Mr. Ba, no wonder I haven't heard from you for a long time, it turns out that you are hiding here to study knowledge. This base is the biggest treasure of our Chinese Federation, and I am really relieved to have you here! ”

As a first-class party member of the "China Renaissance Party" and an aircraft designer on the same level as Wang Zhu, Ba Yuzao is naturally the "pillar" of the scientific research cause of the Chinese Federation.

"Hello, Mr. Tang!"

Just like those veteran members of the "China Renaissance Party," some important departments and posts of the Chinese Federation are under their leadership. Of course, this is not a sign of cronyism, but the scholars who first returned to Kotoshima have gained some experience.

"I am the administrative head of this base, and I would like to welcome you here on behalf of the thousands of workers in the entire base!"

"Thousands of workers? Could it be that there are thousands of people working at this base, it's incredible! ”

Glancing around, Tang Yunyang couldn't believe his gaze. At the moment, he was in a room the size of a small auditorium, with no more portals in sight on the walls around him. The only thing left is the elevator door that leads to the carpeted "Welcome Boulevard", and if there are workplaces where thousands of people work, shouldn't this place be bigger?

"Yes General, I am the manager of the military security department of this foreign base, if this base is not counted as soldiers, there are at least nearly two thousand people working and living here!"

"Lieutenant Colonel Wang Tongwu, if I'm not mistaken, you are a student in that batch of law ** official schools."

Wang Tongwu straightened his body and reported to Tang Yunyang.

"Yes, sir! After gaining the necessary combat experience, I was transferred by the General Staff to guard this base. At that time, the chief of staff Chiang told me to take care of this place as well as my eyes, and he also said that this is all the hope of the Chinese Federation in the future! ”

"Let's watch the first release of the literature network, please support genuine reading, support the author's creation" Don't laugh and give birth to group A: 35761481; E-mail: @.

Tang Yunyang nodded, looked at the young lieutenant colonel in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, Mr. Minister of Defense said it very well. Lieutenant Colonel Wang, your duty is no less than participating in the war that will determine the future of China, and I believe me, for any soldier, this is the most sacred mission! Now, before I bother with the tech workers, I want to take a look at the security work of the guards at the base! ”

"Yes sir!"

Ba Yuzao, who knew that Tang Yunyang didn't like to greet and send off these etiquettes, knew that Tang Yunyang's inspection work had officially begun. It doesn't matter that these "busy people" stay here anymore.

"In this case, Mr. Tang, you first inspect the guard work here. Minister Li and I went in first. You know, there's some routine reporting work, so ......"

"You guys get busy, you don't have to stay here with me! I know your time is more precious than mine! ”

As people poured into the elevator, there were no more people in the entire auditorium except for the military. Wang Tongwu made a gesture, and then the nearby wall began to move with a slight grinding sound.

Around the perimeter of the small auditorium, some of the walls began to rotate, revealing two twin sets of 12.7 mm rotating machine guns. If you look closely, you can see that these phalanxes are somewhat similar to those used on warships, as the twin machine guns are flanked by rocket launchers.

Looking at that formation, even if a large group of people attacked this small hall, they would be torn to pieces in the rain of bullets. And even if there are tanks, I am afraid that they will not be able to pass through this place, which looks like an auditorium, but is actually a "execution ground".

"Sir, everyone who comes here will be X-rayed as they pass through the narrow escalator staircase in front of them. It is difficult to carry any weapon into the base. And even here, no enemy would make it to the main elevator alive. Moreover, there are two more such modules in the surrounding walls. ”

Tang Yunyang felt that this "phalanx" module was somewhat similar to the first-generation phalanx equipped on the "Yue Fei" aircraft carrier, but he didn't see the existence of a gunner with manipulation.

"Huh? How come I don't see anyone manipulating these modules? They can't be automatic! ”

"Of course, sir, the middle of the machine gun is left in the position of the operator. However, it is a backup means of cooperation when the control circuit is broken, and the operator usually controls it through the TV and the control handle. ”

It could be seen that Area 51 had reached the limit of protection for the passage, and he knew that this was the most effective way to guard against any infantry unit. Several officers looked at the muzzles of the 12.7mm rotary machine guns that had been aimed at them and weighed in their hearts. are understood, such a base entrance. Without heavy tanks, there is no chance of entry at all.

But if you drive a tank, this mysterious Area 51, I don't know what extreme weapons will appear.

"And what about the ground, I can barely see the sentry there."

"Yes sir, all areas in the vicinity are monitored by television or periscope systems in our centralized control center. A barcode recognition system is used at the entrance, and if necessary, someone will go out from the small elevator there for security checks. In addition, as one of the security precautions, our base is generally reached by aircraft. As for the ground, you know that this is too far from the edge of the desert, sir, so ......"

"All the people arrived from the air, what about the air defense facilities. I barely see anything more defenses than radar! ”

Wang Tongwu knew that this was Tang Yunyang testing him, the base commander, and as an excellent officer, he would naturally not be afraid of these exams.

"Sir, in addition to the radar you just saw, we also use active infrared searchlights, ground-to-air 37mm 'phalanx' modules, and a number of other anti-aircraft guns of 45, 65 and above caliber to deal with attacks from the air. These artillery modules are all located in under-ground fire units, and when needed, they are accessed by means of lifting facilities and controlled by television and control circuits. And it can be easily sunk into the ground again at any time for maintenance and ammunition replenishment! ”

"Okay, the security facilities outside the base are not bad, but what about the inside of the base?"
