Chapter 29: The True Purpose

"The place is actually a boat dock. ()" Ivan calmly gave us a conclusion that seemed like a bolt from the blue. "The place we're in is the first floor of this building, and the warehouse is something about the same as the basement."

Sure enough, sure enough, our previous thinking was still correct. I've always hoped that this was nothing more than a fool's errand, but since Ivan said it was a large dockyard, it would be fine.

Ivan is not like Chen Zaihai, he will not joke with us. If I had to choose between the two hypotheses of Ivan being joking and the Japanese building a dock underground, I would have chosen the latter and would be convinced. At this time, I realized that after such a long time, Ivan seemed to be more rugged than before, which may have something to do with his lack of time to take care of his beard.

In short, we simply believed in the proposition that this place was a dock, and we had found torpedoes in that three-dimensional warehouse before, so there was nothing unacceptable about this place being a dock.

Talia was standing behind Ivan at this point, and the tent was full of figures, more than when we left. After that, the regiment commander sent over to support. There are many familiar faces, including a few acquaintances from the Meteorological Bureau, including Wang Weiguo, and a few people from the geological team who have taken pictures before. I didn't see Lin Yiru, and Nie Chuanhui didn't appear, it seems that they really didn't act with Ivan.

But the most important thing in front of us is not these, after Ivan said this, let the three of us report what happened after contacting the python.

Talia had already told us that she had only just joined Ivan, and she hadn't had time to talk about our experience. She was able to find Ivan thanks to the same shortwave radio we found in the canyon, and Talia explained to us that Ivan and the task force each had one for communication in extreme situations.

After we fell from the canyon, she was even more anxious. Afraid of the ripple effects that followed, she couldn't make it back to the pit where we had disappeared. She could only take the remaining engineers to find another way out in the canyon, but what she didn't expect was that the shortwave radio station suddenly received a continuous message!

Talia had been staying with Ivan for a long time, and she knew how to use this radio station, and after a while, she realized that Ivan had also come down with the team. They were trying their luck and seeing if they could contact the task force. I wasn't scared that the mistake turned out to be Talia and they received it.

Talia immediately began to contact Ivan, who told her that he was leading a group to a Japanese building. After learning about Taria's situation, Ivan told Talia to find any of the railroad tracks, and if she kept following them, she would definitely be able to meet them.

"My father told me at the time that the railroads that the Japanese had laid here had a purpose, and that they all came together in one place, which is where we are today." That's what Talia explained to us before.

The rest of the story was lackluster, and the hopeful Talia led someone to find a cable that could climb to it, which looked like something left over from the task force, and they were so panicked that they forgot to collect the climbing rope and the iron nails used to fix it. Anyway, they quickly climbed to the top of the canyon, followed the railroad track we had fallen on, and then met up in the huge building with Ivan.

That's what happened to Talia, she had been very worried about our comfort, but she had to obey Ivan's orders, and she didn't have a solution for us. After some trade-offs, she still chose to join Ivan. We certainly don't complain about Talia's choice, because it's the right thing to do. No matter how you look at it, she couldn't have found us with her ability at the time.

In the next hour, the three of us reported to Ivan in great detail all the experiences we had along the way, the lighthouse of the forest sea, the eerie logbook, the underground tunnels, the power plant, and the train that crashed into the canyon. Ivan was speechless for a long time after hearing this.

I can tell he's struggling right now, but besides, the things we're talking about shouldn't have bothered him in any way, he's bothered by something else. I have a feeling that he seems to have known about our findings. Without Ivan's permission, we didn't dare to act casually, so we just stood and waited for him. 、

After a long time, Ivan stood up as if he had made up his mind to something. After such close encounters, I once again felt the height and majesty of this Soviet man, who almost poked a hole in the tent in such a body

"Come with me, I have something to tell you." He walked briskly out of the tent.

Of course, there was no room for us to refuse, and the three of us looked at each other and walked out of the tent one after another. The engineers outside have been busy getting something, and I happened to have a photo with Wang Weiguo who was standing outside. I haven't seen him for so long, this guy is still like that, he looked very surprised when he saw me, a pair of small eyes stared at me non-stop, and his expression was even more cloudy.

Of course, I don't have time to deal with this small-bellied and very sophisticated guy, and I want to chase after Ivan in a few steps. It was clear that Ivan did not mean to wait for us either, and walked non-stop in front alone.

"What I'm going to tell you next is the real purpose of this mission, and I shouldn't have told you at this time." Seeing me struggle to catch up, Ivan spoke, his voice low and vicissitudes. "Actually, we've known for a long time that there is such a huge space underneath this area. Don't get me wrong, I'm not just talking about us, the Soviet Union, but also the upper echelons of your country, but it's just a little late. ”

Then Ivan gradually tells us the real purpose behind this seemingly simple meteorological investigation mission. In fact, when I asked Ivan to scout the python again, he didn't expect that we would go through so many things so accidentally.

"There's no point in hiding it from you now, since you found that logbook, I haven't explained anything. What you find is the truth of the matter. He slowly walked to the front and stopped, on a side that resembled a platform. Just look at what's down there. ”

The three of us looked at each other, what the hell is Ivan? What's there to see about this? The floor is made of metal, and the front platform is enclosed by a long balustrade, which sometimes extends very far. The miner's lamp doesn't shine at all.

I took the first step, slowly walking over to Ivan's side and looking down at the other side of the railing. Then I was deeply shocked and said that this place is completely different from what I knew before. Ever since I first came here, I had an inherent notion about this place. This place is a flat plan, and since it is a floor of the building, it is absolutely a matter of course. But I'm still wrong, this place is not a level at all, at most a side.

On the other side of the railing, I didn't see the iron ground as I had expected, but a deep darkness, and the beam of the miner's lamp was swallowed up at once. I've experienced this feeling many times before, and Shidao naturally won't be surprised now. It's a huge pit, and what I always thought was the ground was actually just a corridor around it.

After that, Chen Zaihai and Talia also walked over, and the two of them gasped when they saw the scene in front of them.

"Do you know what this place is?" Ivan looked at us and said.

"According to you, isn't this a dock? Then this pit is really "Chen Zaihai looked up and looked back.

"That's right," Ivan turned around and called a few minions to bring over a gas lamp.

The little soldiers quickly connected the line with their hands and feet, and then skillfully activated the one-person high gas lamp. Bright scattered light shone down behind the railing. A lot of things hidden in the darkness suddenly became clear, and I finally understood Ivan's reason for saying that this was a dockyard. What's in this pit is so telling.

There are so many things that can surprise me along the way, and I still have a sense of habit similar to aesthetic fatigue. It's true that what is in front of me is very unreasonable, but now that I have learned the philosophy of life to deal with things without being surprised, it is better to calm down and analyze it than to be overwhelmed. Chen Zaihai said lightly, sure enough, Talia kept staring at his father.

"Now you get it, right? The real purpose of our mission is inseparable from this thing. "Ivan was impressed by our calm response." I thought you would find it harder to accept. ”

"Ever since we found the hellish logbook, we've vaguely expected this outcome." Talia smiled wryly. "It's just that it's still a little unacceptable after actually seeing this thing."

I pinched my aching temples with my hand and looked down again. That's right, what is below looks like the keel of a not small ship no matter how you look at it. This pit turned out to be a huge hull hoisting workshop! By now, we can guess the purpose of Ivan's words.

It seems that the Japanese really drove a ship to the ground at a depth of several thousand meters, and we will do the same thing after that
