Chapter 467: Entering the Ruins (Part I)
This scientific research station, which is manufactured at the top international level, is even more advanced than the scientific research stations of all countries just from the outside. Without it, having money is to be able to do it.
The United States has sufficient funds for scientific research, and it is impossible to compare with a company like Andres, a scientific research station is built to the top international standards, and its cost is completely undesirable in the eyes of ordinary countries.
Just because it costs $10,000 to do something, it costs $100,000 to improve the level of performance by less than 10%, which is not desirable from the perspective of cost performance, and even the United States will not be willing to purchase equipment like this. However, Andres did just that, and Chen Yang, who attaches great importance to the underground ruins of Antarctica, made a big move and gave the Antarctic side sufficient and unlimited service funds, enough to purchase the best living facilities and scientific research equipment.
In addition to the regular residences and storage warehouses, a vegetable greenhouse unit has been specially opened in order to allow the staff here to eat fresh vegetables, so that after the icebreaker docks, the personnel can eat fresh vegetable salad in Antarctica for the first time.
"Huhuhu......"
The cold wind blows outside, but the vegetable greenhouse is mild, using soilless cultivation technology, under the control of the central computer, the LED grow light can adjust the light duration according to the situation of the vegetables themselves. The automatic irrigation system fills the tank with nutrient solution every hour or so; When the humidity of the room is below 70%, the humidification system automatically humidifies the entire greenhouse.
The vegetables grown here are varieties with a short growth cycle and low cultivation difficulty. For example, a cucumber vine can harvest one cucumber in two days on average, and if 20 cucumbers are planted, 18 workers can eat fresh cucumbers every day during the wintering period.
Not only that, but also a wide variety of vegetables. In addition to vegetables, the Andrés employees who work here can eat fresh fruits at any time, in addition to vegetables, in a modern greenhouse unit with high intensity and high light transmission, which is difficult to cultivate, so that in addition to vegetables, the Andres employees who work here can eat fresh fruits at any time.
"The conditions are really good."
After inspecting here, Chen Yang is still quite satisfied with the current situation here.
Compared with the superior conditions of the scientific research station here. The scientific research base close to the underground ruins over there, the basic situation is a little worse.
After all, the 200 people over there are not as many as the 15 permanent staff here, and if you want to build a greenhouse where more than 200 people can eat fresh vegetables at any time, the scale must not be able to be done by this 100-square-meter greenhouse.
After a few days of fatigue on the icebreaker, after arriving at the scientific research station, according to the body's biological clock, it was time to go to bed at ten o'clock in the evening. Then they drove towards the place where the underground ruins were.
A total of seven large snowmobiles drove in pairs towards the vast skyline, a distance of more than 200 kilometers is not too far, and it only takes nearly five hours at most to travel at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour.
Of course, even if there is a delay on the way, everyone will not panic, the Antarctic is in a state of polar daylight, and it is daytime at any time. The length of work is not limited by time constraints.
"Here we are."
Zenobia, who was sitting next to Chen Yang, glanced at the computer screen, and her voice was still as cold as before.
"Have you contacted Ryan?"
"I've been contacted. Ryan had already sent a car to pick him up. ”
Sure enough, the convoy had not traveled long when I saw two snowmobiles waiting in front of me.
Guided first, two snowmobiles led the convoy onwards, and in a moment, a scientific research base built on the basis of a former Soviet camp. Suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.
After the reconstruction, the former Soviet camp has basically changed beyond recognition, and only Chen Yang, a person who has been here before, can see the shadow of the former camp from some traces.
The base that can accommodate up to 500 people is definitely not small. On the basis of rebuilding the original camp, it also deliberately expanded to the periphery, and the guide zhì occupies a wide area.
To be honest, suddenly seeing such a huge group of buildings in Antarctica, Chen Yang couldn't help but be stunned. Although I have seen this scientific research base in photos and videos for a long time, what I see and hear in photos and videos is always less shocking than what I have seen with my own eyes.
"Boss, you're here."
Ryan stood in front of Chen Yang for the first time and greeted him respectfully.
"Well, things haven't changed, have they?"
In one night, it is basically impossible for any accidents to occur, Chen Yang asked casually, and sure enough, Ryan shook his head, indicating that there were no new accidents.
"You're familiar with the situation below...... Later, you can organize a group of men and Zenonia to go down with me. ”
"Boss, now that the situation below is still unclear, you don't have to go down in person, right?" Ryan hesitated, obviously not very much with Chen Yang's behavior of personally risking his life.
"Needless to say, I have my own considerations."
The Antarctic underground ruins are a matter of importance, which originally made Chen Yang pay attention to and care about it, but this time there was such a strict accident, how could he find out what happened without going down in person? It's not that he doesn't trust Ryan and the others, if it was another place, of course he trusted the team he had formed, but this place was unusual after all, and without him present, Chen Yang was worried that the Alpha team might not return.
"So boss, when are you leaving?"
Now that Chen Yang had made up his mind, Ryan no longer worried about dissuasion, and immediately accepted the order to act.
"Departing in two hours...... Bring your supplies, we'll probably spend the night down there tonight. ”
Two hours were given to prepare and rest, which was far enough for the Alpha team, not to mention the vengeful evil god who barely felt any tiredness, even those elites, these four hours of running around were not even tired, two hours were just waiting for the EMER special emergency team here to get ready.
After the first qiē was ready and the inspection equipment was carried perfectly, the alpha team had a total of twenty-five people, the ERMER special emergency team had a total of eleven people, plus Chen Yang, Ryan, and Zenobia, a huge team of thirty-nine people, and walked towards the direction of the lifting platform.
A few months of operation was not in vain and wasted money, the original rudimentary tunnel has been enlarged, not to mention the construction of a lifting platform to accommodate people in and out.
With this lifting platform, it can transport more than 20 people down at one time, and it only takes three times to transport 39 people, including equipment.
The bare stone wall passage is reinforced with reinforced concrete, and the cables and wires installed here should also make the road bright and unobstructed, but unfortunately since the contact below, even the cables seem to have been interrupted.
When you enter below, it is pitch black and dark, and where does the light come from?
The members of the EMER special emergency team who came down first held automatic rifles and glanced ahead, and the bright light under the guns also dispelled some of the surrounding darkness with the movement of their wrists, barely allowing everyone to see the surrounding environment clearly.
After discovering that there was no unforeseen situation, someone began to quickly set up emergency lights, so as to illuminate the passage so that the people who came down behind could directly see the surrounding environment.
"Hey, the cable over here seems to have been broken by something?"
Some team members squatted down and made a sound in confusion, and at the moment the broken cable was broken by different cross-sections, not like it was cut by a sharp weapon, but like an animal biting and breaking.
However, the quality of the cable used in this industry is very powerful, and the periphery is surrounded by a layer of plastic with an astonishing thickness, and ordinary mice and small animals cannot be torn and destroyed at all. It can tear and break this industrial cable...... Basically, even lions are afraid that they can't do it.
Chen Yang walked to the damaged cable, looked down a few times, and indeed the damaged cable was very strange, not quite human...... There's no way anyone would be stupid enough to bite with their own teeth, right?
"Everyone, be careful and obey the command, and no one is allowed to act on their own, do you hear clearly?"
Ryan gave orders to the EMER group he was leading, but didn't walk ahead.
It should be said that at the forefront were two members of the ERER group leading the way, and then the first generation of Vengeful God Carl and the second generation of Vengeful God No. 6 and No. 7 took the lead.
The second generation of vengeful evil gods is forgotten, after all, they are about the same size as ordinary people on the surface, unless they burst out with that kind of amazing power, they generally can't see the slightest abnormality.
But the first generation of the vengeful evil god Carl is different, with a body size of more than two meters, a burly and powerful appearance that does not look like a normal human, especially the huge electrically driven machine gun in his hand, which makes everyone look at it at a glance, and they can't help but feel invincible and even desperate in their hearts.
If you go against such an enemy, you might as well kill yourself.
With such a person walking around, it always makes people feel at ease.
While walking forward and exploring, while also investigating the surroundings, dozens of people have lost contact under this, and more than a dozen drones have been lost, so there should be a lot of clues left, as long as you observe carefully, maybe an inconspicuous thing can become a key factor in solving the matter.
None of the people present were simple characters, especially Chen Yang, for the sake of prudence, entered a state of overclocking since he came down, in order to prevent accidents and ignore clues.
"That's ...... Someone! ”
An exclamation caused everyone to be wary of guns against each other. (To be continued......)
