Volume 2 Devil's Eye Chapter 185 Dongfeng Space City
Alxa was originally a vast and sparsely populated place, and 90% of the land area here is a large desert.
A magnitude 6 earthquake struck in the vast desert, and residents in the county hundreds of kilometers away did not feel it at all.
The catastrophe of the end times, more than half a year, the survivors of Alxa have already fled to Ningxia and Gansu, and only a small part of them have rushed thousands of miles to the northern base in Qingcheng.
According to Jiayu's calculations, a small part of Lucheng, Eshi, Ba, Wushi, and the Arab League in N Province have all sunk to the bottom of the sea and become part of the volcanic belt.
…………
After the "Titan" submarine landed from a huge sandy beach with no end in sight, the first thing Jiayu saw was a tall mountain range that stretched for thousands of kilometers!
What is the scene behind the mountains, Jiayu can't imagine at all, is the desert turned into an oasis? Or are there countless monsters growing in the desert?
Now, he doesn't know anything.
The dark hull of the submarine cracked, and a heavy tank crawled out of the submarine.
The chainsaw tracks and main gun system of the "Titan" tank have been dismantled.
The bloated and unsightly main body has also been redesigned, and now the main wheelhouse of the Titan is placed in the chest position.
Two Gatling rapid-fire guns were also dismantled, and the secondary weapon system was no longer able to adapt to the needs of the post-apocalyptic war.
With the exception of the skeleton, almost all weapon systems have been redesigned.
In order to adapt to the needs of multiple terrains, Jiayu gritted his teeth and strengthened the Titan's transformation ability, even if it can't be as gorgeous as the Transformers, it is quite good to be able to change the form a little.
The 2.0 version of the Titan, after transforming from a chariot form to a human form, is only about 5 meters tall.
It is said that once Nina passed by and happened to see the transformed Titan, Nina said, "Why did you make a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle......
The two legs are no longer deformed from tracks, but have a slight leg appearance, and the antimatter cannonball catapult with a simple head structure has also been removed, and a serious optical video system has been installed, which can provide a lot of auxiliary functions for Jiayu.
The most critical disc-shaped main engine has been transferred from the stomach to the back, saving a lot of space, and the overall shape is much better than the previous big-bellied fat robot.
This disc-shaped main structure is the anti-gravity device produced by Jiayu through the watch hadron system, and Jiayu has no idea what its principle is, and it seems to have something to do with the magnetic field.
This technology is a black box device, as long as it is disassembled, it can never be put back in. Anti-gravity engines can only resist the gravitational pull of part of the Earth, and cannot achieve a zero-gravity state.
The anti-gravity engine is also embedded in the ring of the Nibelon, and the output power is directly increased by more than ten times compared to the previous one.
The submarine shell can't be taken away, so Jiayu can only put this set of equipment on the seashore and cover it with plastic sheeting, I don't know how long it can last.
…………
Starting the engine, the Titan transforms from human form to chariot form.
It is said that it is a deformation, but in fact, the limbs are clumped away, and the whole robot is finished lying down, like a turtle putting away all parts of its body.
Inside the body, Jiayu turned on the anti-gravity engine in the disc area, and after a slight humming sound, the body levitated briskly.
Activating the nozzle, Jiayu drove the fuselage to the top of the mountain in one go, strong power, simple operation, compared with the previous slightly bulky multi-turret Cult tank, there has been a qualitative leap!
Rushing to the top of the mountain in one go, Jiayu turned off the fire and got out of the car.
Looking down from the top of a continuous mountain range, the endless desert is still connected to the horizon!
From the old times to the present, only this Badain Jaran Desert has not changed, and the high sulfuric acid content of the air after the apocalyptic disaster has only made the desert slightly moister.
Jiayu muttered, "No surprises......"
…………
The Badain Jaran Desert is one of the four major deserts in China, with a total area of 47,000 square kilometers.
In the old days, the annual rainfall here was less than 40 mm, but there were more than 100 large and small lakes.
Strange peaks, singing sand, lakes, sacred springs, and temples can be called the "five uniques" of Badain Jarin.
Affected by the wind, the sand dunes are like huge waves and towering ancient towers.
Moreover, it is also the location of the highest sand dunes in China and even the world, and the highest sand dunes are called Mingsha Mountain in Baori Tolgoi, which is more than 200 meters high!
A mountain made purely of sand!
The peaks are steep, the sand ridges are like blades, the height is staggered, and the roar of the sand sliding down resounded for several kilometers, and it has the reputation of "the kingdom of the world's sand and sand".
Walking in a straight line to the Jiuquan Satellite Base Dongfeng Space City, it is not very far, only more than 500 kilometers, but Jiayu can only look for the wreckage of the highway, and in the absence of GPS map navigation, walking around will definitely get lost in the sea of sand.
Suspended at a height of 2 meters above the surface, relying on the thruster to gain forward thrust, Jiayu stepped on the accelerator, and the Titan soared to the limit.
Highway debris is really hard to find, often drive too hard, accidentally run over, and have to return to the original route to look for it.
It took Jiayu two full days to reach the Ejina Banner.
In the distance, in the orange morning light, Jiayu saw the ruins of the famous Black City!
The ancient city wall is undamaged, the royal capital of Western Xia, standing in the sea of sand for thousands of years, looking down on the changes of wind and rain, and the small county town a few kilometers away to the north has become a ruin, without any traces of human survival.
Fragments of tents can still be seen in the ruins of the Black City, scattered chests and cars turned into piles of parts.
It seems that after the apocalyptic catastrophe, there were people who lived here for a while before leaving due to lack of food and water.
A few days later, the first generation of Yuanhua Lord, the armored orangutan Zhu Yan, was born here, and it was pushed all the way to Qingcheng, where he was wiped out by Jiayu.
Walking through the ruins of the Black City, it is very close to Dongfeng Space City.
…………
Along the way, there were basically no fierce beast races, I don't know if it was because humans left, or because there was also the equipment of ancient civilizations in the depths of the earth, so that the monsters here were so rare.
Leaving the ruins of the Black City, Jiayu drove the Titan and continued to run wildly to the west, and soon an extremely ancient forest came into view.
The thousand-year-old poplar forest has arrived.
The golden branches have long since died, and the vitality is hidden deep in the dry branches, waiting for the day when spring returns to the earth.
Dry branches spread all over the land, the river has become muddy and full of acid, and the tenacious poplar forest still stands strong on the acidic earth.
They have witnessed the glory of the Loulan Kingdom, the madness of the Hun cavalry, the bravery of the Han Empire, and the invincibility of the Tang Mo sword.
Countless civilizations have come, conquered, and disappeared silently in the long river of history, and only the dry poplar forests have remained unchanged for eternity.
After the poplar forest, Dongfeng Space City is already close at hand.
Passing by a section of barbed wire that had been torn apart, Jiayu saw a large broken sign that read, "Military Administration Zone, strictly forbidden to enter!" ”
…………
Jiayu had never been to Dongfeng Space City, but he knew that hundreds of launch missions had been completed here!
The previous launches of the Shenzhou series and the Tiangong series have all set sail from here.
The Chinese people feel that this place should belong to Gansu Province, so it is called Jiuquan Satellite Launch Base.
In fact, the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Base Dongfeng Space City is located in the territory of N Province, surrounded by a large desert, and the surrounding distance is a real no-man's land.
Crossing the line of the military restricted area, Jiayu slowed down the car.
The Apocalyptic Desert has completely occupied this military administration area, and when he arrives here, he is completely blinded, no one in the northern base has ever been here, and the only person who has worked here has been shot and killed by thugs.
After climbing over several sand dunes of more than 100 meters, Jiayu saw several dilapidated high-rise buildings in the middle of the desert.
A fully functional town in the middle of a sand dune.
He is like walking into a deserted city, and he can also see kindergartens, schools, hotels, shops, and the traces of human existence in the depths of the desert cannot be erased.
The wind blew away a warning sign on the side of the road that read: Speed limit 20.
Jiayu shook his hand and was about to slow down the speed, but then reacted again.
He smiled, and as soon as he stepped on the engine accelerator, the iron reactor installed on the body immediately burst out with powerful thrust and drove towards the huge high-rise buildings that towered on the horizon.
Getting closer, Jiayu saw this building, in fact, two tall buildings standing opposite each other, a rocket warehouse that seemed to be a huge cube, and a huge launch frame could be seen a few kilometers away.
It was getting late, the waning moon was rising in the sky, and in the night, you could see the steel launcher, emitting a hazy light due to the high radiation.
This bridgehead for human exploration of space has completely lost its sound.
The very conspicuous huge building is the vertical assembly plant of Dongfeng Aerospace City, which is 93.5 meters high, not a ten-story building, but only one floor, a large house that opens up and down, and is also the tallest single-storey building in Asia!
There are also several low-rise buildings next to this tall building, known as the payload assembly plant and the launch test station, after all, it is a military building, and there is not much patent leather rubbed off.
Here, Jiayu can also see a little bit of human life.
In the open space of the launch site, new graves have been built neatly, and names are engraved on the tombstones, this is a martyr's cemetery in the depths of the desert, and in the night wind, people feel extremely heavy.
Jiayu stood solemnly in front of the boundless grave and respectfully saluted a military salute.
Then, get in the car and drive the Titan to the vertical assembly plant.
From a distance, it is a large house, and the closer you get, the more you can feel the enormity of this building.
Outside the white walls, the original magnificent pictures of the launch vehicle are now mottled, like a temple, holding on to the divine glory and guiding the successor to the end, and this persistence can last until the end of time.
All the gates of the launch site were tightly sealed, and Jiayu went around and found that the overall structure of the hangar was intact, not a single brick had collapsed, and there was no trace of any explosion, and he was finally relieved.
Driving the Titan, Jiayu came to the gate more than 70 meters high, and the Titan chariot more than 5 meters high was as pitiful as a little bit.
Before each launch, the rocket will be assembled in this big house, standing on the central operating platform, and then the gate will be opened, and the rocket, which is tens of meters high, will stand on the transfer platform, and more than a dozen tracks will roll and be transported to the launch frame.
Usually the staff, transport vehicles in and out of this large building, all go through the side of the small door, such a small door, also more than ten meters high, through the Titan chariot is more than enough.
The Titan stopped at the launch test station, Jiayu got out of the car, didn't take the weapon, and wanted to push the door in a big grin, but he pushed it lightly and didn't push it away.
The iron door had been sealed from the inside, and it seemed that there were a lot of adhesive strips glued to it.
At this time, as long as Jiayu takes out a big gun and bombards it with a small 20mm shell, any door can be blown open!
But he was afraid that there were survivors inside, so he opened the door and sealed the door, and the people inside looked out of breath and died of lack of oxygen, which was a big trouble.
There was no choice but to shout.
Jiayu patted on the thick iron door and shouted inside, "Is there anyone?" If you have something, say yes, I have something, I'm really in trouble! ”
There was no response from inside the door for a long time, and Jiayu thought, there should be no living people, blast it.
He turned around and pulled out a one-man tall sniper rifle from the Titan Chariot, and the door of the test station opened just as Jiayu loaded the bullet and aimed at the gate to blast it open.
An old man in a dirty military uniform poked his head out.
