284 - Underground Harbor completed
Next, the inertial confinement reactor will be put into trial operation for one to two months, and once it is determined that there is no obstruction, the reactor will officially take over the power system of the Minaret Experimental Base, making the underground base a completely self-sufficient refuge.
On the seaward side of the minaret experimental base, an L-shaped inland port was excavated according to the original design, and reinforced concrete was used to fix and shape.
The port extends to the outside of the tunnel is an underwater tunnel about a kilometer long, but because it has not yet been connected to the outside sea, there is no seawater in the tunnel.
In this tunnel, Chen Chen designed a total of three gates, A, B, and C, just like the flood gates of the reservoir, so that even if the minaret experimental base is connected to the outside ocean, there will be no seawater pouring in.
If a submarine in the ocean wants to enter the minaret test base through the passage, it only needs to open the first gate, let the submarine in and then close, and then open the second and third gates.
As for submarines, it is naturally impossible for Chen Chen to order behemoths like 'Kilo' and 'Lada', and the reason is very simple.
First, that kind of submarine was too huge for Chen Chen's port to accommodate.
Second, although this kind of submarine is not a nuclear submarine, it is also a weapon of mass destruction in conventional armed forces, and if it is really ordered, it will only attract the attention of all continents, after all, the power of this kind of mass killing weapon is not comparable to ordinary armored vehicles and helicopter gunships.
Third, military-class submarines are too sophisticated and complex to dive into too deep waters, with Kilo-class submarines dive up to 300 meters, Lada-class submarines up to 400 meters, and some double-hull nuclear submarines can only dive to a depth of 500 meters at most.
Chen Chen's minaret experimental base is located at a depth of 723 meters below sea level.
Therefore, Chen Chen just asked Xiao X to hide his identity and ordered a number of private submarines around the world, which are both exploration and sightseeing, and most of them are miniature submarines that can carry three to five people.
Different from military submarines, exploration submarines are small enough and do not have any requirements for weapons and endurance, so this kind of submarine can dive to a depth of seven or eight hundred meters, and the one that Chen Chen purchased can reach a depth of one thousand meters for sightseeing.
This sightseeing submarine is a miniature submarine five meters long and three meters wide, and unlike other submarines, this submarine is U-shaped as a whole, like a giant pincer, and in the center of the U-shaped fuselage, there is a spherical cockpit.
This spherical cockpit is almost entirely made of tempered glass, which can effectively disperse the pressure of seawater, and the interior is divided into three seats in a zigzag shape, sitting inside the sphere, you can see a 360-degree panoramic view, which can be said to be a must-have for local tyrants.
And the price of this kind of sightseeing submarine is even higher, with the price of one being $1.8 million.
These submarines have been placed on standby on the Blacklight, and on the side of the Minaret Experimental Base, the port project is finally coming to an end today after nearly a year of implementation.
By this time, the passage to the outside world had been constructed, a circular passage of 1,200 meters long, ten meters in diameter, extending from the cave of the minaret experimental base to the end of the rock wall near the ocean.
In the passage, all three giant gates have been installed, the farthest gate is located at the end of the passage, just a few meters away from the outside sea.
"The next thing to do is very simple, just use explosives to blow open the outermost rock wall and open the passage, so that we can have one more passage in and out of the experimental base."
Listening to Xiao X's explanation, Chen Chen, who had just walked out of the inertial confinement power station, came to the port construction site again, he looked at the square wharf under his feet, which covers an area of about 100 square meters and is 30 meters deep, and a deep tunnel under the wharf, and couldn't help asking, "Once the minaret is connected to the sea, how should the entrance be camouflaged?" There is an extra gate on the dark rock wall, which should be very conspicuous. ”
"Don't worry about that."
Little X replied, "On the other side of the passage, that is, the part of the ocean rock wall, I have asked the Black Knight to pilot the submarine and cut off the outermost layer of the rock wall shell, which is so that the outer wall can be made into a camouflage layer that can be made into Gate A, so that no one can find the passage unless the gate is opened." ”
"Not bad."
Chen Chen nodded, "Then let's start it now." ”
"Yes."
As Xiao X executed the order, Chen Chen saw that under the pit-like port, at the exit of the passage, a huge gate three or four meters thick slowly descended, completely sealing the passage.
On this gate, a big "C" is written.
At the same time, the artificial intelligence X-111 of the Minaret Experimental Base also issued a warning to the entire laboratory at this time, "Warning, within ten minutes, the air pressure in the Minaret Experimental Base may be disturbed, please keep all personnel awake to prevent damage to the middle ear canal due to sleep......"
"The five-second countdown begins: five, four, three, two, one!"
Boom Rumble......
A slight explosion sounded, and Chen Chen only felt a slight shock under his feet, and then, a special frequency shock approached from afar.
"The rock wall layer has been blasted, and seawater has poured in, filling the gap between Gate A and Gate B......"
"Gate A and Gate B have been filled with seawater, and Gate A is starting to close......"
"Gate A is closed, Gate B is open......"
"Gate B is fully open!"
With Xiao X's reminder, the shock was closer, and the violent shock passed through the rock and the C gate under Chen Chen's feet, and transmitted into the entire spire cave.
Clearly, the sea water has rushed out of Gate C.
However, Xiao X did not directly open the C gate, but repeated the previous operation again.
"Close Gate B...... Gate B is closed, open Gate A again......"
"Close Gate A, Open Gate B......"
After repeating this method many times, the entire passage was eventually filled with seawater, and it was only at this point that Little X closed Gate A again and reminded, "Your Excellency Godfather, I am ready to open Gate C." ”
"Let's go."
Chen Chen nodded, and he didn't want to leave.
So, in Chen Chen's gaze, the huge and heavy gate under his feet finally let out a low wail, and then a tiny gap opened with a bang.
Suddenly, the water that had been pressed into a thin layer rushed through the gap and sprayed in, and Chen Chen, who was standing by the port, only smelled a fishy smell of sea.
Immediately after, the gate slowly rose, and more and more seawater poured in, Chen Chen only heard a deafening rumbling sound in his ears, and the port was being filled with seawater in the channel rapidly!
It wasn't until the water level of the port rose to a point close to Chen Chen's feet that the influx of seawater completely stopped, and then Gate C, which was located underwater, closed again, sealing the passage.
At this point, an artificial inland port was completely built.
Next, simply moor the miniature submarines you bought here and follow the harbor at will, without having to enter through the various entrances and platforms of Life Science City every time.
Moreover, the underwater passage is equipped with a pump, which means that if necessary, the sea water in the passage and in the port can be pumped out again.
Of course, the entrance and exit of the port is certainly not as convenient as the elevator of the Life Science City, but the opening of the port represents a more hidden retreat from the Minaret Experimental Base.
In the future, if Chen Chen overturned, or this experimental base was exposed, and the army surrounded Chen Chen's Life Science City, Chen Chen could also use the sea route to escape.
After all, if you stay in the green mountains, you are not afraid of no firewood, you are not afraid of a rainy day, and you are cunning, although Chen Chen is confident that he will never go that far, but it is not wrong to leave a way out.
