Chapter 68: The Island of the Deep Sea
The clear blue sky is serene and high, and the salty sea breeze ripples deep waves.
The ripples spread, as if they were unchanging and slapping against a black reef that suddenly emerged, stirring up scattered silver rays in the sky, a small island in the Pacific Ocean formed by an ancient volcanic eruption.
The top part of the earth, which was finally created by the vigorous blood of the earth, is a land that rises about 10 degrees and seems to be oval-shaped.
The 20-square-kilometre island is shrouded in mist all year round, making the tropical sun seem to be gentle and comfortable through a veil.
The tall broad-leaved vegetation is neatly arranged along the river, which is formed by the island's regular rainfall, and the occasional unique species that have evolved from the island's closure bring a sense of tranquility...
It's a pity that from a certain day, all this was ruined by a bunch of outsiders.
In the eyes of the island's creatures, these monsters with strange shells and two hind limbs stood upright from a strange shiny hill floating on the surface of the sea suddenly surged into their home for generations, and then began a frenzied destruction that puzzled them.
They knock down trees that hold precious food with monsters that emit terrifying roars; make a strange big crater to stop the river that originally flowed into the sea;
The monsters then began to dig through the ground beneath their feet, digging a bottomless pit that could not be found after a while, and the fierce day and night destruction deeply disturbed the island's otherwise carefree life.
Even the most greedy wingless stupid bird now eats a lot of sweet young leaves every day, and its round body has obviously become a lot thinner...
"Gaga~"
The wingless bird, which was white and looked a little like a seagull, but was round like a leather ball, lay on the soft, leafy ground and let out a feeble moan.
Disturbed by those strange roars, it has not had a good night's sleep for a long time, and for it in life except to eat and sleep, this is completely the greatest torture in the world.
With a yawn, it decided to take advantage of the quiet time when the monsters had a rare stop to make up for it and comfort its wounded heart.
However, just as it was sleeping in a daze, it suddenly felt something grab it and gently lifted itself off the ground, and then it felt like it was stuck in a very soft place.
It felt like a soft haystack formed by the wind blowing together countless fallen leaves.
And this time it also had a warm and aroma that made it feel comfortable, so after arching it, it decided to click its mouth and continue sleeping
"Xuan, look, this cute little guy is not afraid of people at all, and he can continue to sleep in my arms!"
"If you like it, take it home and keep it."
Seeing Anina holding a small bird that should have evolved from seagulls and was like an extinct dodo, Dong Xuan couldn't help but smile.
"It's a really good place, and it looks like you can come on vacation more often in the future."
Of course, he had come all the way here not just to find a place to vacation, so he quickly added in his heart.
"It's also a good place to use as a hiding base!"
This nameless island, which he had just named Hope Island, is not only far from the bustling areas of the American continent, but also close to any shipping routes, making it an extremely secluded place.
If it weren't for the fact that one of his new veterans had followed his captain, who had gone off course after a storm, he wouldn't have been able to find such a suitable place for a while—an isolated hideaway.
"There is not even a single carnivorous animal on the whole island, and in such a leisurely environment, it is no wonder that even the wings of birds have degenerated"
Grabbing another wingless bird from the ground, Dong Xuan took a look and found that this little guy who was round like a plush toy was really a natural and cute hand, and this kind of thing was everywhere on the whole island, and it was easy to step on a few of them if he didn't pay attention when walking
"It seems that you can give one to Xiao Na, Dong Tingting seems to need one too, do you want to give it to the priestess, cough! I mean, little Lori Angel one? ”
Touching his chin, someone suddenly decided that he would order that no one should bring in pets such as cats and dogs from outside.
Because it would turn into a genocidal massacre, it is estimated that no animal on the island will be able to escape the poisonous hands of these seemingly docile pets.
Of course, gifts or something are just the most insignificant collaterals, but Dong Xuan came to inspect his future research base very seriously this time.
Standing at the highest point in the center of the whole island, he can look down on the entire Hope Island that has broken ground and started construction, because it is a volcanic island, so the whole Hope Island is actually a kind of cone-shaped with a small top and a wide bottom.
This is undoubtedly very suitable for the layout of larger and more hidden underground buildings, the hard stone structure ensures the safety of future buildings, can be built into a multi-storey underground honeycomb layout, and the natural fog on the island has become the best weapon to defend against satellite peeping.
As long as a simple magic array is set up to gather water vapor, everything here will completely disappear from the sight of a pair of electronic eyes in the sky, no matter how big the movement during the construction is, it is not afraid of being discovered.
And, most crucially, there is no shortage of fresh water on Hope Island.
The large reservoir that has been built is enough to meet the normal needs of tens of thousands of people, and then as long as some underwater fishing equipment is arranged, the most basic food needs of the entire base can be guaranteed.
This undoubtedly solves the biggest difficulty in building a base in the sea area, and also saves a lot of transportation costs.
The base then only needs to add a small amount of other kinds of food to the end of the delivery of supplies each month to enrich the recipe.
Of course, in addition to these software conditions, the geo-hardware of the island itself is also very advantageous for building a base.
On the east side of the island, a 100-meter-deep area of cliff-like water that emerged from geological activity in ancient times is a natural harbor that can not only dock ocean-going ships, but is now also building a submarine docking point underwater.
After the underwater docking valve is completely repaired, the base can completely use submarines to secretly transport materials and personnel, so as to achieve better secrecy effect.
The other three sides of the island are dotted with reefs and reefs, and unless they are small fishing boats that are inshore shore, there is no safe way to pass through.
However, just as someone was planning to build a couple of vacation cottages in the woods, Annina's communicator for communication on the island where there was no signal suddenly rang.
"Hello, I'm Anina"
Handing the wingless bird in her arms to Dong Xuan, Anina, who was in a good mood, connected the communicator with a smile, but when she heard the report from the other side, her face suddenly became solemn.
"Boss, I think you'd better go down there and take a look, the person in charge just told me that they seem to have discovered... Developed prehistoric remains? ”
Speaking of this, Annina's own expression couldn't help but be a little strange.
"Well, it's hard to believe when I think about it, but that's exactly what he said, if this bastard dares to lie to me, he'll be able to say goodbye to this year's prize money!"
Reports about the remains of prehistoric civilizations have always been the most eye-catching news.
Because at this time, human beings who have just opened the eyes of civilization to explore the world are like immature children who have just taken the first step into the unknown world, desperately trying to find traces of their own kind in loneliness, so as to prove that they are not alone.
In this case, all kinds of gossip about the appearance of civilizations or ancient civilizations suddenly flew all over the sky, but in the end, these news turned out to be false reports fabricated to attract people's attention, which undoubtedly made people extremely suspicious of the existence of other civilizations in disappointment.
However, Dong Xuan, who was already a member of the meat eaters, vaguely knew that there were actually extremely rare reports in these reports, but they were true.
In the old FBI archives that Shauna took over, she once found a record of similar mysterious things, cooperating with the US government research institute to deal with the end of the incident and blocking the news.
However, someone has always heard these things as some kind of anecdote, but never thought that one day they would encounter such mysterious things.
"That's a lot more powerful than any historical site..."
Dong Xuan suddenly had an expectation in his heart, and of course, there was also vigilance against unknown dangers.
After all, now these people are all here to build a base, and they are not professional archaeologists and explorers, and no one has any experience in dealing with unknown civilizations.
With the chaotic conjectures in their hearts, Dong Xuan and Anina walked to the entrance of the underground base that had been disguised.
The ordinary, half-buried rock slowly parted to reveal a deep, bright corridor of steel, where machines were already in operation with the help of small nuclear generators.
The entire underground base was designed to be divided into three levels.
The first layer is some routine research, such as the drug test and the development of quantum computers, which have gradually migrated here, and now they have basically been built and officially put into use.
The second floor, because it can be directly connected to the entrance valve of the submarine, was completed earlier than the first floor in terms of specific details, and it was allocated as a warehouse for material storage and living quarters including canteens, dormitories, gardens, cinemas, playgrounds and other areas.
At the same time, this is also a kind of cover for the third layer, and in the consciousness of many ordinary workers, the second layer is already the bottom.
And the third floor, which is now being secretly started, that is, where the suspected prehistoric remains have been discovered, is the focus of Dong Xuan's current tendency.
In his plan, whether it is the biological experimental research that has already been determined to begin, or the research and development of various weapons and equipment that are more advanced in other mechanical and technological civilizations, will be carried out in secret here.
As for the workers, you must know that Fairy Forest started as a human trafficker, and those who would not care if they disappeared, such as black people, would be honored to give their last drop of blood...
