Chapter Forty-Eight: Back to the Platform
The iron door of this three-storey warehouse has also been completely renovated, and it does not have the dilapidated feeling when we first saw it. I don't know what method they used to make it like this, this door doesn't look like it's a piece of paperwork, it's more like it was originally a whole, a whole close to five meters high.
The squad leader seemed to see my confusion and told me that this door was actually inside this warehouse, and that the Japanese had prepared a lot of warehouse doors that could be replaced. They were all wrapped in three layers of oiled paper, and there was no rust at all, and the only thing that bothered them was that all the spare parts on the warehouse door were pure black, which looked unlucky.
We've seen a lot of these buildings along the way, as if the Japanese here have a soft spot for black**. Chen Zaihai curiously went over and knocked on the door in front of him.
"What did you do with the door from before, and the things outside?" He looked at it for a while, then turned back to ask the squad leader.
After eating, they still can't accept that there really is such a thing in the world. So they drove a couple of forklifts and took the python away and burned it, and it was very big and cost them a lot of fuel.
As for how the dead people were handed over to Ivan to deal with, I don't know if he stayed to prepare for the return of the country or burned them. Ivan is not the kind of sentimental person, there is a good chance that he will be burned, and it is always a hidden danger that this kind of corpse has been kept. If there is an outbreak of any infectious disease, it depends on the doctors and nurses in the medical district to be a drop in the bucket.
"Is the chief going to the train platform next?". The squad leader asked after speaking.
We nodded and said yes, the squad leader looked at us and said you should go, just before a train to deliver supplies came. As soon as I heard this, I thought that it was really early, and it was better to come by chance to meet the supply train. This train should give us a lot of clues. Chen Zaihai said that then hurry up and lead the way, if it weren't for the suspicion of the squad leader, we would have rushed to the unloading platform a long time ago, and we are still very familiar with that place.
Seeing this, the squad leader asked the soldier guarding the door to open the door for us, and the soldier was in a sentry post that had only been built for a short time. I saw him give us a standard military salute, and then tinkered with something inside. After that, Chen Zaihai and I felt a slight vibration coming from the soles of our feet. This makes us unconsciously tense our nerves and think that something is happening again.
The squad leader told us that it was okay and that we could calm down. This is the sound of the power-assisted motor working inside the warehouse door. It didn't take long for him to finish speaking, and the people in front of us slowly opened up. I didn't expect this thing to be electric, and these engineers even fixed this.
"Huh! It's kind of interesting. Chen Zaihai looked at the scene in front of him and said. I didn't expect you to be too lazy to open the door manually all the time, and you used this method to be lazy. Is the electricity bill enough? ”。
"It's a joke." The squad leader said. "We engineers are also human beings, and we can save effort and naturally not go back to find a troublesome way to do it, you can never imagine how many things will come in and out of here in a day, if we use manpower to open the door every time, we will definitely be exhausted. And they don't use much electricity. ”
I didn't expect this squad leader to speak quite interestingly, no wonder he could be the squad leader, and Nie Chuanhui and the little soldier could only be soldiers. The volume and intensity of this speech are different.
In the kung fu of speaking, the new iron door has been completely opened, and the squad leader took the lead in walking to the front to lead the way for us, the speed is not fast or slow, it should be deliberately cooperating with our steps. This is really intimate, and I can't help but feel kind to this squad leader.
We came to the wide-mouth corridor we had been to before, and like the rest of the place, it had been reinforced by the engineers and installed with a lot of gas lights, and it was much brighter than it had been then. There were no people on the road, and they could only sporadically encounter a few engineers who were overhauling equipment.
"It's still relatively quiet here, and the train will be busy when it comes." The squad leader turned around and explained to us as he walked. "Trucks, forklifts, people are all over the place. I don't have time to take care of you, but I can remember the road this time, and you can go back by yourself after taking your things. ”
Chen Zaihai and I nodded, thinking that this would be the best. When we left just now, we were still wondering what to do if the squad leader followed us all the time, but now there is no need to worry.
It is impossible for the squad leader Zi'an to know what we are thinking, but just take us all the way forward. The journey was smooth and there were no accidents, and after ten minutes we were back on the platform we had come in.
There seemed to be a lot more people on the platform than there were in the hallway, and there were a lot more containers scattered inside than when we came. I noticed that the lights here weren't horizontal, they were coming from above us. I looked up and saw that there were a lot of high-power lighting equipment fishing more than ten meters above, and I could see that this was not a temporary assumption, because some rusty lamp holders below said everything.
"These ceiling lights are a piece of equipment that has been on this platform for a long time, and we found a design for this platform in the duty room of a train station on the ground level." The squad leader said. "The duty room was supposed to be a place for designers or engineers, who came here with the construction team. But the duty room on the ground was not demolished. ”
From him, we know that the power supply of this platform is separate from the entire shipyard, and it has its own power generation room and generator set. Interestingly, the power source of this platform turned out to be not thermal power generation, but water conservancy.
The squad leader said the picture showed a decent underground river below the platform, and that the Japanese had dug through the bottom layer and built a small dam there to generate electricity. When they found the small dam, they found that the damage was not very bad, and the amount of water had not subsided. Ivan then ordered them to find a way to repair the dam.
After nearly a month of repair and maintenance, the dam has regained a certain degree of power generation capacity, and because some of the generator turbines have completely rusted and they can't find a replacement to replace, the dam's power supply capacity is still very limited.
"But it's okay to light a few lights here." The squad leader pointed to the top of our heads. "We have to wait for new generators or parts to arrive before we can use other big machines."
Chen Zaihai and I were secretly taken aback, did the squad leader just say that the generator or parts were it? Although I don't know much about hydroelectric power generation, I still have a little common sense, even if it is a small dam, the generator in it is not comparable to the toys that we can carry by hand. Not to mention a unit, which could theoretically be transported by breaking them all down to the most basic parts.
But this is Lin Hai from the three eastern provinces, how did this kind of thing come in? Is it also a train? What may have changed above during the time we were underground
We who were still relying on airdrops for supplies have not only multiplied several times now, but even such things as generator sets have appeared, and I can't believe that this change has only taken a few months. We've known a lot from above, and maybe they didn't get serious until we found the shipyard, which is why they had so much support and supplies.
Chen Zaihai gave me a look, and I told the squad leader that it would be good to lead the way here, and we would do the rest by ourselves. The squad leader smiled and nodded to us, and left to do something else.
"Okay, what's going on? Dam? As soon as he left, Chen Zaihai said in an unbelievable tone. Tease me? Is there such a thing down here? ”
"What's so strange about that? Do you remember the power plant we found? ”。 I said. "You know how big that place is, and it's not surprising that anything is in this place. Okay, don't dwell on it here, the squad leader said that the train is coming, let's find a place to wait slowly. ”
He had no choice but to accept the facts, saying that I was right, that this shipyard was the most incredible thing, and that there was really no need to think about the dam now.
"How? Do you need to go to any dam? He proposed.
I shook my head and said that there should be no need for this, just like the squad leader said, there is a power generation facility, even if there are any clues, Ivan has already found out, and it is impossible to leave it to us. Just wait for the train and see what comes this time.
"I've always thought it was a little strange that the squad leader said that trains come a lot. It's so remote, the terrain is so complicated, and the lice women don't usually send trains down so often. I analyzed. If there is something to be transported, it is good to ship it all at once, there is no need to divide it so many times. ”
"So you think there's actually a lot of stuff going down there?" Chen Zaihai asked rhetorically. "But from our camp and warehouse, there aren't so many things or people?"
I said that this is the problem, this gap makes us very uncomfortable, and it feels like Ivan is hiding something from us. We're going to see where those things go this time.
