Chapter 31: Rescue Signals
The ice sheet is formed by the gravity of the snow below the snow in the polar regions after many years of snowfall, and the ground is so strong that even mining boats have to work hard to deal with the ice, and the passage has to be re-polished every short period of time, otherwise the passage will be blocked by frozen water.
The submarine slowly made its way through the artificially dug glacier tunnel until about 9 a.m. the next morning.
His base was on an inland lake in the center of the ice sheet, a freshwater lake that was not connected to the outside world until Lin Chen's fleet dug a tunnel.
It's not like Antarctica looks like it's made up of ice, but there are also soil and rocks that make up small hills covered with ice and snow, and Lin Chen's base is located in these small hills.
When Lin Chen's footsteps first set foot on this icy Antarctic continent, his heart was on fire, the land he was in belonged to the ice dome of Antarctica, and it was a forbidden place for life that could not be stepped on, but at this moment, he really stepped on this land.
He couldn't guarantee that no one had been here before, but for now, Ice Dome Point was the best place to hide the fleet.
"Commander, at the current pace, there are still five minutes to go from the shipyard."
The weather in the polar region is fickle, it was cloudy not long ago, and now it has snowed heavily, Lin Chen has already put on a polar cold suit, and is moving forward against the flying snow, and his every step will sink into the thick snow, greatly slowing down his travel speed.
"Commander, the dockyard is already in sight."
Lin Chen followed the adjutant's words and looked forward, and sure enough, he saw a huge black silhouette, but the blizzard howling with the wind blocked most of the view, making it impossible for the dock to reveal its full appearance.
This was his first dockyard, and although it was covered by wind and snow, it couldn't hide the heat in Lin Chen's heart at the moment.
"Open the door."
Lin Chen walked to the dock gate step by step, only to hear a "click", the edge of the gate sprayed white mist, and then the heavy gate gradually opened, and the wind and snow also poured into the gate. After Lin Chen entered the dock, the door slowly closed, blocking the blizzard from the door.
"Dock No. 1 has five modules, of which there are frigate construction modules, capital ship construction modules, auxiliary ship construction modules, and fighter construction modules and platform construction modules, which are two technologies that have not yet been unlocked and cannot be built."
Lin Chen walked in the passage in the dock, surrounded by transparent glass, from which he could directly see the workshop below, and when he saw the way the ship was built, he was really amazed.
In his imagination, the way to build ships in the dockyard should be countless fully automatic and intelligent robotic arm cutting, welding, etc., but what does he see now?
Countless laser emitters were constantly strafing back and forth into the air with a ray he didn't know about, and soon a part had roughly shown its outline and appeared in his line of sight out of thin air, wasn't it exactly the same way the system built ships?
Lin Chen didn't expect that the construction method of this dock was the same, but he was soon relieved, the system was so unique.
But what exactly is the principle of this? This ability to create things out of thin air made Lin Chen very puzzled.
"Insufficient permissions."
For Lin Chen's question, the system only gave these four words, and he sighed helplessly, it seems that a higher level is needed to unlock the system permissions.
The size of the dock was completely beyond Lin Chen's imagination, and it took more than two hours to visit the entire dock, and then it was spent in the room.
Now the Antarctic base has just started, and there are not many energy refining factories around, and the warships that come out of the dock can't reach the ocean outside alone, and they can only get out with countless mining boats to open a way ahead, and the speed is extremely slow, and at this temperature, the sea will soon freeze, and then they have to reopen the road.
But in order not to be discovered in advance, it can only be placed here, although the environment is bad, but the probability of being found will be reduced, if someone inadvertently breaks in, they will be killed directly, anyway, they will only think that there is an accident in the polar regions, and there are many people who die every year, so naturally they will not think about what caused the death.
After resting for two days, Lin Chen also appreciated the beauty of the polar regions, whether it was the animals in the forbidden area that were not afraid of people, or the strange scenes in the sky, they all brought him a different feeling.
But sadly, he still has to go to school, and he regrets it when he remembers what he said to the principal before.
"Commander, there's a situation." When Lin Chen was about to leave, the adjutant suddenly appeared in front of him and said.
"What's wrong?" Lin Chen frowned and asked suspiciously.
"I intercepted a rescue signal from a nearby station, which was sent by researchers from the Huaxia Antarctic Station, is it rescue?" The reason why the adjutant came out to ask was because Lin Chen was also from Huaxia, and she had to take into account all the factors that the commander would care about, if it was someone from other countries, she wouldn't ask at all.
"How did researchers from the Huaxia Antarctic Station come here?" Lin Chen asked rhetorically, looked up at the sky, the howling blizzard showed no sign of stopping, and his face gradually became a little hesitant. "Do you want me to go?"
"Yes, before we have the landing technology, the only one who can rescue is you, the commander." The adjutant said calmly. Then he added: "If the commander is afraid of revealing his identity, I can change your face with a holographic projection." ”
Hearing the adjutant's words, Lin Chen was relieved a lot, but he couldn't help but ask, "How do you know that I'm afraid of this?" ”
"Conclusions based on your behavior, through a lot of calculations." The adjutant said.
This surprised Lin Chen for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Show them their bits?"
As soon as Lin Chen's words fell, a holographic map appeared in front of him, this was the map of the entire Antarctic, a red dot was marked on it, and Lin Chen was near the red dot, marked with an arrow.
"This is the location I found based on their last external transmission, but their signal was so badly disturbed by the blizzard that it couldn't be transmitted at all, and I just happened to receive it around here." The adjutant said.
Lin Chen nodded, and ran in the direction of the red dot non-stop, with his F-level physique, even the thick and hard snow could not stop his pace, the speed of running far exceeded the limit of human beings, and where he passed, the snow splashed behind him even formed a snow-white dense fog, if it was a normal road running, the speed was estimated to be more than twice as fast.
