Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
On the day that Chen Yang happened to return to the East China Sea, a Z-9 multi-purpose helicopter slowly landed on the tarmac somewhere in the mountains of western Sichuan.
Cheng Pan carried a gray lockbox and jumped out of the open hatch, and immediately two officers who had been waiting for a long time stepped forward.
"Is it Colonel Cheng?"
"I am."
"Hello, Colonel Cheng, the chief asked us to wait for you here, he is already waiting for you at the base."
"Well, alright, let's go first."
Cheng Pan nodded, followed the two officers, and got into the car in the lane outside the tarmac.
Sitting in the back seat of the car, Cheng Pan's first thing to do was to put the gray lockbox at his feet, and at the same time hold the box in his right hand at any time to ensure that the box would not leave him for a moment, and then he looked out the window.
This base is located in the mountainous area of western Sichuan, and on the surface it is under the jurisdiction of the Chengdu Military Region, but in fact the subordinate relationship is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and the military region has no jurisdiction over this base within the military region.
In order to prevent satellite reconnaissance, the ground infrastructure of this base is not much different from the rest of the military bases, at least Cheng Pan looks left and right, and from the surface alone, there is really not much of a problem.
However, after the car drove for about ten minutes and gradually approached the tunnel of a big mountain, the surrounding martial law increased significantly, and before entering the tunnel, not only did Cheng Pan's identity have to be verified again, but even the other two officers in the car had to verify their identities. to enter the tunnel.
As a soldier, you should never ask more questions than you shouldn't. But even if Cheng Pan didn't ask, just by his own eyes, he could see that this long tunnel should be an underground facility built in the 60s to prevent nuclear strikes.
However, it should also be renovated and strengthened now to ensure that the tunnel is more stable.
The car continued to drive in, and the tunnel got deeper and deeper, until it had been driving for a full eight minutes before stopping at a checkpoint.
The so-called levels. In fact, it is a steel gate that blocks the entire tunnel, and the identity must be verified again before the small door can be opened to allow vehicles to enter.
Cheng Pan has only seen this kind of strict inspection at a secret base in Qinghai, but it is a nuclear weapons base, not here.
No. Strictly speaking, what is preserved in this base is more important than nuclear weapons!
After patiently waiting for the fingerprints and iris to be checked, Cheng Pan finally really stepped into the core of this base.
This time, the vehicle didn't drive long before it stopped, and two officers led Cheng Pan into a passage and walked for five minutes. The two officers stopped, turned around and said, "Colonel Cheng, we need to disinfect and change clothes before we can enter the base." ”
"Okay, I understand."
Cheng Pan was not the slightest dissatisfied. Undressed according to the procedure to disinfect the whole body, and then changed into a prepared military uniform. Only then did they follow the two through a passage and really step into the core of the base.
"This ...... It's huge! ”
The core of the base was beyond Cheng Pan's expectations, what he saw first was a deep cave with a diameter of hundreds of meters and a bottomless depth, and around the periphery of the deep cave was a layer of floors built from top to bottom.
Cheng Pan's contact level of top secret is very high, and he is even one of the people in charge, so the two officers explained to him: "Base No. 17 is divided into 49 floors from the top of our floor, and the total depth is over 200 meters. ”
"And on each floor there are lounges, libraries, shelters, recreation rooms, and real rooms, which ensure the mental and physical health of the researchers here."
Hearing the explanations of the two, Cheng Pan couldn't help nodding.
To build such a large underground base, unless it is those who are rich and willing to spend most of their property to build, otherwise only the national power can support it, and only the big countries have the strength and funds to build, and the average medium-sized country cannot afford such a huge cost.
While explaining to Cheng Pan, he led him through the corridor to the conference room on this floor, where a man of about sixty years old was sitting on the seat of the conference room.
"Grow a good ......"
"Grow a good ......"
Cheng Pan saluted, and then sat down respectfully.
This old man is not to be looked down upon, he is only a lieutenant general, but he is one of the people in charge of this No. 17 base, and he must not be underestimated.
"Hehe, Xiao Cheng is here...... I've heard for a long time that you're young and promising, but I didn't expect you to be so young. ”
Indeed, Cheng Pan can climb to colonel at the age of more than thirty, which is enough to be called a young man, but he does not rely on relationships, but really excellent skills.
"Long compliment."
To be modest, Cheng Pan put the white lockbox on the table, pressed his thumb on the fingerprint reader, and after a while, the lockbox opened automatically with a "click".
took out a copy of the text inside, and Cheng Pan respectfully handed it to the old man.
Liu Yanqing, who has the rank of lieutenant general, took the text with a slight smile, looked at it carefully, and said: "Well, it seems that the above is really going to transfer you over, this is not as boring and not free as the place you stayed before, are you mentally prepared?" ”
"Long, Cheng Pan is ready at any time, as long as the country needs it, there is no place to go!"
Cheng Panyan said.
"Okay, that's the spirit."
Liu Yanqing praised it, and handed over another copy of the text placed on the table: "It's just right, you can also take a look at this." ”
"Uh, that's ......"
Cheng Pan looked down and saw that the four big characters "Blackstone Project" were printed on the cover of the text, and there was a line underneath "Top Secret Text Jiàn - Anyone who reads or leaks the contents of this article without permission is illegal and can be handed over to a military court for life imprisonment." ”
Of course, this line is false, how can it be transferred to a military court for trial, it is simply a joke, if you really want to leak this kind of secret that is different from the ordinary top secret documents, within 24 hours, the person who leaked the secret will be completely steamed from this world, and there will definitely be no opportunity to transfer it to the military court for trial.
Once leaked, it will cause damage to the national interests very strictly, even if the military rank is reached, it cannot be read without relevant permission, otherwise it will be dealt with for treason.
The entire Wen Jiàn file is about 50 pages, Cheng Pan looked through it, there were text explanations in it, and there were also photos to correspond to, and it was actually an explanation of the origin and construction of the entire base from beginning to end.
It is also the reason and explanation for the origin of the entire "Blackstone Project".
Touching the first black-and-white photo, it was taken at the end of the fifties when the base tunnel was completed, the more I flipped, the more the photo gradually changed from black and white to color, from unclear to clear, Cheng Pan also learned more and more about the reasons for the construction of this base and the "Blackstone Project".
After flipping through more than a dozen pages, Cheng Pan was surprised when he saw a certain photo.
It was a second-generation leader of China, about 1.5 meters tall with a smile on his face, who was posing for a photo with a group of researchers.
"Have you finished reading?"
Liu Yanqing took a sip of tea.
Carefully putting down the Wen Jiàn file, Cheng Pan replied: "Long, I've finished reading." ”
"What do you think?"
"Hmm......"
Cheng Pan thought for a moment and replied seriously: "The Blackstone Plan must continue to be implemented, which is very important for the future of our country. ”
"Well, you've been in contact with this aspect for a long time, and you should understand the importance of this."
Liu Yanqing sighed and said: "Base 17 is not as good as the special research institute you used to stay in, the research here is too important, so the burden of responsibility on your body is also heavier, I believe you are also mentally prepared for this, I won't say more." ”
"On the other hand, your military rank will not change, but the level will be increased by one level, and you can go to this base except for the forty to forty-ninth floors."
"Yes."
Cheng Pan was still surprised in his heart, he was in the Special Research Institute before, but he was one of the people in charge, and his level was already high enough, and he had access to many top secrets that even ordinary central core leaders could not contact, but he didn't expect to come to this No. 17 base, he raised a level, and he couldn't even enter the forty to forty-ninth floors.
The meaning of this is great, not only shows that there are more important things in the entire base that he cannot touch.
It also means that some things are more than just state secrets.
Letting go of these thoughts, Cheng Pan came back to his senses, and Liu Yanqing had already asked an officer to take him to his lounge.
His lounge is on the first floor, just because the disinfection inspection on the first floor is the most relaxed, only the disinfection when entering and leaving the base, there is no other excessive inspection, which is definitely much more convenient for life.
Walking in the corridor, I also saw a lot of people coming and going, judging from Cheng Pan's analysis, the members of the entire base should be about eighty percent of the researchers, less than two percent of the soldiers, and the rest of the people are death row prisoners.
Some of the prisoners who need to be executed in the prisons of the Western Highlands will be "lucky" to be selected as the "guinea pigs" for the final clinical trial here.
Anyway, the number of people who are executed each year is a state secret, and no one knows exactly how many people will be executed.
Moreover, the condemned prisoner still has to be executed after all, so it is better to contribute the last trace of strength to the country here.
This is also an atonement for the sins of life.
No one will feel pity for these death row prisoners, and Cheng Pan will not be an exception, on the contrary, the number of people who died at his hands is more than a dozen, and it is impossible for him to have even a trace of sympathy.
