Chapter 26 China Shipping Base
Within 24 hours of registering as a contractor, Fang Bai's mysterious "referrer" still did not appear. www.biquge.info In fact, he had already begun to wonder if there was such a "referrer".
If he really existed, he should have stepped out of the shadows and invited Fang Bai to join the team!
But the reality is that Fang Bai has become a "lone wanderer"!
The main god's quest mechanic is that the squad is prioritized, and "temporary missions" will only be issued to the lone wanderer when there are insufficient manpower.
According to Gu Ping, there is a lone wanderer who once set a tragic record of not receiving a temporary task for a whole year!
In this case, in order to accumulate points, the Lone Wanderer can only hope to "trigger the official mission" during the long-term mission. Whether it can be triggered or not used to depend on character; In the past two years, because the organization has revised the dispatch mechanism, the probability has been greatly improved, which makes the low-level contractors rejoice!
Fang Bai didn't want to sit at home and wait, so he decided to go to the Zhonghai branch base and do a whole body repair treatment by the way!
The base is below the Pétain Park in the French Concession.
It used to be the inner garden of the Board of Directors, and after liberation, it was open to the general public. In the sixties, an experimental metro station was built under the park, which was abandoned after the experiment. Due to military needs, it also has the function of anti-nuclear explosion.
By the nineties, large-scale subway construction was rolled out, and the experimental station was not connected to the nearby Line 1. There are two reasons for this, one is that it is too deep, and the other is that the scale is too small. Someone rented this place to open a restaurant, and it didn't take long for it to close.
The subway station fell into the hands of the organization, and the organization continued to dig and expand it and build it into a base.
Pétain Park is located in the urban area, and it is difficult to keep the construction work secret, so the signboard on the bright side is the underground antique street. The antique street has a secret elevator to go deeper.
With the development of the economy, local governments are no longer short of money, and the clean-up of "encroached civil air defense facilities" has stimulated contradictions. But how can the potential forces of future investment be underestimated, and a little bit of relationship will be used to protect the antique street.
The metropolis is growing incredibly fast. Zhonghai has soft soil and abundant groundwater, and the depth of the subway has repeatedly reached new "highs".
The dense subway, which is as dense as a spider's web, greatly limits the organization's ability to dig holes. Large-scale tunneling is likely to trigger a ripple effect that will affect civil subways and surface structures. No matter how strong the organization is, it cannot strengthen the foundation of the city, so Zhonghai's secret road network is quite limited.
As a result, some of the ways to enter and exit the base are extremely cumbersome, and the majority of contractors feel more and more inconvenienced. It is not for nothing that the Zhonghai base vigorously develops peripheral strongholds and advocates streamlining administration and delegating power -- this is Gu Ping's personal opinion.
Fang Bai chose the easiest route. He descended to the antique street and entered a "classical furniture store".
The storefront is not large, and there is a lot of space inside. The boss is a middle-aged man who sits behind the counter and eats his bento with his head buried in his head, indifferent to the appearance of customers.
There was no one else in the shop, and Fang Bai leisurely visited a small exhibition hall with a partition. The furniture looks old, like the utensils of large families in the thirties and forties of the last century. Chinese classical solid wood furniture and Western leather furniture are close together, and the retro mix and match looks a little messy at first glance, and it is inexplicable after a little pondering.
Fang Bai found an antique desk, gathered the three hands of the clock on its top into a line, and dialed it clockwise. The bookcase next to it then slid open, revealing a secret door. With a swipe of the phone, the door opened.
When the boss heard the movement, he raised his head, knocked on the metal lunch box with chopsticks in his hand, and looked at the secret door. There is a blind spot that can only be seen when you enter the small exhibition hall. The boss seemed to be able to see through the wall, watching Fang Bai walk into the elevator behind the door.
"There's a newcomer again." A faint sigh was heard by no one.
Zhonghai is the registered place of Fangbai. As soon as I entered the elevator, an email was sent from the mission mobile phone to introduce the details of the base.
As one of the key branches in China, the underground base has 20 floors and 226 permanent staff.
From top to bottom, the first level is a transportation hub and parking lot, connecting to one of the few secret tunnels underneath China Shipping.
The second layer is the blocking zone, which is equipped with a large number of defenses and armed robots.
The third to eighth floors are the public service area, which is the daily business and exchange center, the biochemical research and medical center, the multi-functional combat training ground, the prop design and maintenance center, the intelligence collection and analysis center, and the advanced business management center.
The ecological circulation system on the ninth to eleventh floors is a huge botanical garden and the most popular place to play in the base. It not only reduces the energy consumption of life support systems such as temperature control and gas treatment, but also provides food, drinking water and oxygen for the entire base in a long-term fully closed state. In addition, the base's three emergency escape routes are also located in this area.
The twelfth to fifteenth floors are living and leisure areas, which contain various levels of entertainment and accommodation functions, providing complete living facilities and sufficient daily consumer goods, and some contractors even live here all year round.
The computing center on the sixteenth floor is the brain of the base, the energy center on the seventeenth floor is the heart of the base, and the nanofabrication center on the eighteenth floor is the blood bank of the base.
The 19th-floor prison and the 20th-floor waste disposal center are also free of occupants.
Fang Bai came out of the elevator and was on the first floor, a huge space five meters high. The floors, walls, and ceilings are all metal, and there is no decoration except for the embedded LED lights.
Each of the four walls has an airlock cabin, marked with the symbol of a vacuum maglev train.
In addition, there are several doors open at this transportation hub, behind which is what looks like a normal road tunnel. According to the email, the road tunnel was flooded with groundwater almost all the way, and only amphibious vehicles could pass. The car enters a watertight compartment, switches to submersible mode, and exits the base through the submerged segment. There is a wild river bottom at the exit, and there is also an underground parking lot.
If you don't have a dive car and don't want to go to the antique street, you can only take the train in and out.
Fang Bai found the downward entrance. Strictly speaking, the second floor is not a building, but a labyrinth excavated in thick rock formations. It consists of criss-crossing tunnels, hidden caves, and traps that you can't defend against.
The tunnel is tall and spacious, even two heavy construction trucks can easily stagger each other. But metal barriers up to two meters thick are everywhere and can be raised and lowered at any time. Each road can be sealed off, and the only access can change daily.
And the contractor doesn't need to bother to walk through the labyrinth. Fang Bai stepped on the intelligent balance two-wheeler at the entrance, and the car recognized the human body chip, started directly, and began to go down. Because the slope is very small, the ground slope is difficult to detect, and the lights are dim and there are no special signs, if anyone can break through, getting lost is the only outcome.
At the end of the labyrinth is a small square. There are metal doors on the floor that can be opened and closed to facilitate the entry and exit of large equipment. There is a small elevator next to it for people to pass, Fang Bai threw away the two-wheeled vehicle and went down to the third floor.
Coming out of the elevator, the eyes are full of green grass. The sunlight simulator overhead, the grassy wind blowing from the air conditioning system, and the holographic scenery at the edge of the space make visitors mistakenly think that they are in the grassland.
The third floor is larger than 100 football fields, and the space is hexagonal as a whole, with a ceiling height of 23 meters. The honeycomb complex that stands in the middle of the site is the center of daily business and exchange.
The honeycomb consists of seven hexagons of the same size, each covering the size of six football fields, one in the center and the other six wrapping around it. They were named Zones 30-36.
The honeycomb is connected to the rock layer above, and the exterior wall is covered with large and small hexagonal structures, which are not only the supporting frame of the glass curtain wall, but also the main body of the whole building. In fact, this massive load-bearing structure runs through six floors of the public service area.
The exterior of the core building is defined by ice-blue glass and dark gold hexagonal frames, with a sense of technology and cold technical features.
Fang Bai stepped on the white gravel path on the lawn and stepped into the beehive.
Push open the glass door and first come to "District 31". The area, like several other districts, consists of 3 floors "above ground" and 2 floors "underground". There are 3 circular corridors on each floor from the outside to the inside, and the corridors are connected by walkways. The central space is not layered, and serves as a patio in the area, with a fountain garden.
Area 31 is the Personnel Department, which is under the direct control of a B-level agent in charge of the "Day-to-day Operations and Exchange Center". In addition to the deployment of internal work, the personnel department is also responsible for the dispatch of personnel from the periphery of the "Greater and Medium Sea Area". The three offers provided by Gu Ping, and the demand information came from this department. Fang Bai came here to get a "full repair medical permit".
The hall was empty, and there was not a single living person at the reception. He slapped his hands on the table, and the stupid robot, which was no taller than Mish, slipped out of nowhere. It has a round, rotatable spherical body and a hemispherical head that floats with magnetic joints.
“BB-8!” "Star Wars 7" has been released in this life, and this iconic cute thing is all the rage.
It seems that the organization is still keeping up with the fashion trend!
"Dear Contractor, BB-8-44 is at your service. How can you help you? I have detected that you are coming to the Zhonghai branch base for the first time, do you need a full body medical repair? ”
BB-8-44 speaks a natural tone, speaking standard Mandarin no different from a human, much stronger than the astronaut robot in the movie without a language module.
"I heard I need to get a permit first?"
"Yes. You'll need a license to access nanomedical services. ”
"Then take me there."
"Happy to serve you, contractor Wumo!"
The No. 44 service robot of the BB-8 type rolled in a hilarious manner, guiding Fang Bai up and down the building.
They first went to the small theater on the "first basement floor", where Fang Bai sat on the soft sofa and watched a short film called "Prospects for Cutting-edge Research and Development of Medical Nanorobots". At the end of the film, a robot that looks like "Enemy of the Mechanics" NS-5 appears with a silver platter containing thick paper documents.
Fang Bai did a long family genetic history survey and filled out a very complicated lifestyle questionnaire. After answering the questionnaire, he signed a "Nano Total Repair Medical Technology Risk Confirmation Letter". The NS-5 robot tore off a page of receipt from the "Confirmation", handed it to Fang Bai, and left the venue satisfied.
BB-8-44 leads him to an office "2 floors above ground". Fang Bai handed the receipt to the clerk, a listless E-class contractor, a boring job that seemed to be extremely detrimental to his mental health. The clerk filed the paperwork, issued an "Employee Welfare Receipt Certificate", and sent Fang Bai away.
Accompanied by BB-8-44, he took the elevator down to the "Biochemical Research and Medical Center" on the fourth floor of the base for a comprehensive physical examination.
The fourth floor is also divided into seven districts 40-46. The "Employee Medical Examination Department" occupies a corner of Area 41 and is a small department with only one employee.
When Fang Bai arrived, the E-level staff member was playing a mobile card game. He urged Fang Bai into an empty room with some impatience.
After entering the door, strange mist and light appeared around Fang Bai, and tiny particles seemed to be blown by a whirlwind, circling around him. But the light and fog quickly dissipated, and the staff pushed open the door and shouted, "Alright, come out!" ”
Fang Bai was a little confused, it's as simple as that? But he didn't get an answer, and the staff stamped a stamp on his "Employee Welfare Certificate" and asked him to apply for the certificate.
One man, one machine returned to the third floor, this time to Area 32 - Logistics Management Department. In the office of a D-class contractor, Fang Bai showed his seal and signed several documents that he didn't even read, and obtained a thin plastic card. The material of the card is very tough, and BB-8-32 claims that this card applies 38 kinds of anti-counterfeiting technology that is ahead of the times.
Back on the fourth floor, the end is just around the corner: Area 42 - "Medical Center".
In front of the elevator door, a sign was erected on it, which proudly read: "...... The center has 1 D-level chief doctor, 7 E-level deputy chief doctors, 25 comprehensive diagnosis and treatment robots, 50 standard medical warehouses, 9****20 special medical warehouses, 30 intensive care units, 20 rehabilitation wards, 50 companion robots, and 100 nursing robots......"
