Chapter 143: 2000 meters below the surface (1/5 for the alliance leader "Wuji 2016")
Time flies, years have passed, and old age has gone sad.
For more than a year, the disappearance of Dr. Du Qiu, which once shocked the world, and a series of games between Tang and Mi around him, have been silent for years.
Ten months ago, it was said that an avalanche effect of rice stocks at an all-time high was triggered by traders' oolong fingers.
The Dow plummeted from near 30,000 points, and the economy collapsed.
Since then, the United States has shown more anxiety and lack of confidence in the boss empire, and has begun to strengthen the alliance just like the empire on which the sun never sets.
At this time, after the new president of the United States came to power, he changed his previous style of withdrawing from the group, and instead attracted allies everywhere to form a Pan-Western Alliance.
Tang is still firmly implementing the policy of comprehensive opening up, accelerating the promotion of the two-line encirclement strategy, and the rise is still unstoppable.
In a corner of black Africa, on the shores of the Lake of Ping'an.
The original Tang-style buildings from the sixties and seventies do not seem to have changed in the slightest, except that the roads there have been resurfaced.
The road that goes around the mountains to the north and east into the valley has also been rehabilitated, and the road has become wider and flatter.
To the south of the 10-square-kilometre valley, rows of new factories have been erected.
This is the factory of a company called Wonder Technology Industries Group, which has many local employees from the Tanga Federation.
Wonder Technology Industry Group is a foundry group headquartered in Germany that has sprung up in the past year or so.
It provides parts or complete machine OEM business for many consumer electronics and automobile manufacturers around the world, and its factories are located in many BRICS countries, which is its largest factory.
The Tanga Federation was originally a country without much industrial base, but in the past year or so, with the arrival of magical technology, a large number of supporting factories and companies have followed, which has greatly enhanced the industrial strength of the Tanga Federation.
As a result, the port city of Dasalam has become the largest trade transit port in East Africa, with countless raw materials arriving by sea, turning them into finished products and then shipping them away.
Defence Minister Hussein Muveni, who contributed to this, has skyrocketed in the position of the ruling People's Action Party (PAP) and has become the number two figure in the party.
Outside the mountains in the northern part of the region, on the gentle slopes, there is also a large number of factories, and new factories are being built in the direction of the city of Dasalaam.
This is the second and third phases of the Magic Science and Technology Industrial Park, which not only houses a large number of supporting enterprise factories, but also includes the new factories of Magic Technology itself.
Especially in the third phase of construction, the local employees of Magic Technology know that they will be relocating to work outside the mountains one after another.
From there, it's nearly 10 kilometres to the city of Salaam, and there's no need to take a commuter car around the winding mountain road into the valley.
This area has been developed into an industrial powerhouse by a company called Wonder Tech.
In the future, there will be a tunnel connecting this valley to the industrial park beyond the northern mountains, and the construction of the Daesan tunnel is currently in full swing.
In the whole valley, the most peaceful place is the old factory area.
But no one dared to go there and break the silence.
Because warning signs have been erected there, not only the company's security personnel, but also the Tanga Bundeswehr.
It is said that it is also equipped with automatic firepower, and if you trespass without permission, you will be torn to pieces by the powerful fire in an instant.
The tunnel construction area in the northern mountain is completely cordoned off, and the locals are completely unable to enter it to see how the tunnel is completed.
At this time, Da Liu was riding an unmanned electric car and was passing by the road next to him.
The enclosed unmanned electric vehicle is made of panoramic glass shell, just like a sightseeing car.
Accompanying Da Liu was the big black Hao Ren.
Seeing Da Liu looking at the tunnel construction site with some curiosity, Hao Ren explained: "This tunnel is a project to hide people's eyes, of course, it is also for the convenience of internal and external connectivity.
The project has been progressing very slowly, has been going on for a year, and will continue to do so for some time.
In this time, we have completed the construction of the base under the mountain, and it is now in the final stage. ”
Da Liu was a little surprised and asked, "In just over a year, can you complete an underground base under the mountain?" How big can it be? ”
Hao Ren smiled mysteriously and said, "You will soon be able to see it with your own eyes, and I still won't disturb your imagination." ”
"How can the boss rest assured that I will come here this time?"
Da Liu saw the unmanned electric car drive into a tunnel in the mountain, which is a cave hall of about 1,000 square meters.
The whole cave ** is brightly lit and bright as day.
The unmanned electric car drove directly to a place with a square grid and stopped.
Hao Ren didn't ask Da Liu to get off the car, but said: "It is precisely because the base has been preliminarily built that I invite you to come over."
This base is not afraid of nuclear strikes, and with this security guarantee, the master can see you with peace of mind, and there is no need to worry about being hunted down by the people of the United States after being exposed. ”
Da Liu couldn't help but be shocked, can this base resist a nuclear attack?
Just as he was thinking this, the square on the ground suddenly sank.
No, it should be like an elevator, running downward.
Outside of the unmanned electric car, the four sides turned snow-white, as if the car was in a snow-white room.
"This is an elevator to a depth of 2,000 meters!" Hao Ren explained.
Da Liu was a little shocked, this should be the deepest underground project in the world, right?
It didn't take long, Da Liu felt that more than a minute had passed, and a slight vibration came, and one of them suddenly opened.
The unmanned electric car drove out, and Da Liu noticed that this was a hall with an area of at least 5,000 square meters.
Da Liu subconsciously looked up, and the dome was more than twenty meters high, which made the entire hall feel very spacious, and he didn't feel the oppression of being underground.
The hall was as bright as daylight as the cave hall on the ground.
The floor is paved with some sort of silver material, and the entire hall appears to be a traffic hub.
Da Liu saw that many unmanned electric vehicles left the hall in an orderly manner after getting out of the elevator, obviously there is more than one such elevator.
There are also unmanned electric vehicles that enter the lobby from some aisles and then into some open elevators.
Among these electric vehicles, there are many people of different skin colors, and most of them are yellow people.
"There are already so many people here? Are those of us Tang people? ”
Hao Ren smiled and said, "You are the first Tang native to visit after the completion of this base. ”
Da Liu was stunned, such a secret base, there shouldn't be so many non-Tang people.
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility and blurted out, "They are all simulated robots? ”
"That's right, it's all simulated robots."
"However, they look like real people, and their walking posture is already very natural, much stronger than the 'Xiaobai' household robots we currently sell on the market."
"Of course, seriously speaking, this should be the second generation of 'Xiaobai', a simulation assistant robot with preliminary artificial intelligence."
"Artificial intelligence? To what extent? "Da Liu is in charge of the Mengyuan Technology R&D Center and knows some R&D projects.
So he wasn't too surprised, but he was curious.
In more than a year, has the boss developed artificial intelligence in Africa, a place with no foundation?
Hao Ren smiled: "The master said that this is not the real meaning of artificial intelligence, it still belongs to the category of weak artificial intelligence, for example, they are just the best blue-collar workers." ”
The unmanned electric car drove along a passage for more than 30 minutes, and then the space suddenly opened up again.
Da Liu opened his mouth wide in an instant, and the scene in front of him made him completely shocked.
Is this underground?
It's a city!
Looking up at the dome, there was a clear blue sky at the top, and it felt like it was at least a thousand meters high.
A giant sun-like overhead lamp was moving very slowly across the dome, apparently performing the sun's functions.
The unmanned electric vehicle of Da Liu and his wife stopped as soon as they came out of a passage, which was about ten meters above the ground of the entire space.
This gave Da Liu the feeling of looking down on the entire underground space slightly.
That's why it's particularly shocking.
"Shocked, aren't you?"
"It's sci-fi!" Da Liu exclaimed, "It's incredible, it takes more than a year to make such a large space underground, and it can be built so well." ”
"That's the power of robots! They can work 24 hours a day, can work in the harshest environments, and can work together most efficiently. ”
"I know, it must be robots, the industrial robots of Dream Fulfillment Technology have been able to do a lot of things, if they are used for construction, the efficiency is definitely dozens of times that of manual work."
Da Liu looked at this underground world and had a very unreal feeling.
"Still not convinced?" Hao Ren teased.
"yes, it feels like a dream."
"Actually, when I saw all this for the first time, I was a hundred times more surprised than you, you were too calm and not fun." Hao Ren shrugged his shoulders and said.
"I know some of the company's research projects, and I am naturally more receptive to some things."
Da Liu said, pointing to some huge high-rise buildings, and said: "This kind of high-rise building should be built using a new type of bauxite polymer building materials."
With the 3D printing construction method, it should be completed in a few days. By the way, are these buildings for those assistant robots? ”
Hao Ren shook his head and said, "This kind of building that stands up to the sky and the earth, and in the center of it is the pillar of the entire underground world, supporting the dome from falling.
Of course, these buildings are not used for housing, they are all unmanned agricultural factories, which are used to grow and produce various kinds of food for humans. ”
"Agricultural factories? All of them? Da Liu pointed to such a tall building in the underground world, which looked like there were about a hundred.
"Yes, all of them, the one closest to us is a rice plant, and the annual output of one building can provide 100,000 people."
"So powerful?"
