761 Atlanteans in Action (3)
Since the Atlanteans failed to attack the moon base in early December 2215, Wang Wei expected that the moon base would be breached by the Atlanteans one day. After integrating all the forces of China, the United States, Russia, Europe, and Moon City, all human beings on the moon worked together to start digging a great passage of life to the far side of the moon.
The passage through the moon is not so good to follow the digging.
The Moon is not a cold moon, and the temperature of the lunar core is as high as 1,000 degrees Celsius, and it is impossible to dig a passage through the lunar core to the back of the moon, only to dig an underground passage around the moon a few kilometers below the surface of the moon.
All the forces of the four bases and Moon City were put into this huge project of life and death.
The base of the moon is not just a hole dug in the ground, in order not to be discovered by the Atlanteans, it is necessary to keep all the rock layers covered above the base during construction, which is easy to do, as long as the excavation route is carefully selected and selected as much as possible under the rock formation.
The base of the moon is not connected to the outside world, the necessary oxygen must be obtained by decomposing carbon dioxide through professional equipment, food also needs to be grown underground, and there is also daily life, all of which require a lot of energy.
Fusion reactors can easily solve this problem, but the reactors in use at various bases have not cooled down for thirty or fifty years, and finally a few ship reactors ready to be installed on warships were found in the Chinese base, and this problem was solved.
However, the structure of the ship's reactor is extremely compact and can only be transported as a whole. So the excavated channel section had to be such that the fusion reactor could be passed smoothly.
Compared with these big problems, the fuel needed for fusion reactors is the easiest to solve - not only do the bases have a large amount of fusion fuel, but the lunar soil also contains enough helium-3 to worry about a lack of fuel even if the reserves exceed the half-life of 12.43 years.
In addition, in order to ensure the quality of life of the moon base, the necessary living facilities and industrial equipment should also be moved as much as possible.
In order for the new base to have sufficient water, the underground passage must also lead to the polar regions of the moon.
The circumference of the moon is about 10,000 kilometers, and since the base is not in the middle of the moon, it only needs to open up a straight line distance of about 3,000 kilometers to reach the far side of the moon. But you can't always settle directly on the border. It was necessary to move some more distance, plus the necessary detour, and the whole passage was more than 6,000 kilometers long!
All of these made the relocation much more difficult, in order to complete the relocation before the Atlanteans destroyed the lunar base. Wang Wei chose the first section of the passage in the direction of Moon Valley.
The reason why I chose this place. This is because there is a huge underground cavity in the ground more than fifty kilometers away from the base. Once the first passage is dug through, the necessary equipment can be transported to the cavern for storage, so that the Atlanteans can attack. Everyone can also have a place to stay.
Despite the large number of engineering equipment, the excavation of the passage was still not very smooth, and the engineers worked hard for more than half a month to open the first section of the 54-kilometer distance.
At this rate, it would take a full five years for the lunar base to open the entire channel!
From this time on, in addition to the personnel on duty to guard against the Atlanteans, all men, women and children in the base were mobilized to carry supplies to the hollow more than fifty kilometers away.
The transportation operation continued until March 2216, and after more than three months of hard work, all the materials that needed to be transported in several bases and the Moon City were moved into the hollow, but fortunately, the hole was large enough to not only contain all the supplies, but also a large amount of rock and soil generated by the excavation could also be thrown into the hollow - the previous 54 kilometers had filled half of the Moon City!
At this point, the first phase of the relocation plan was completed smoothly, and the exposed lunar base could be abandoned at any time.
With the gradual extension of the channel, the business level of the construction personnel is also constantly improving, and the progress began to gradually accelerate, by the beginning of May 2216, the underground passage that has been opened is more than 1,100 kilometers, and the task has been exceeded by more than 500 kilometers!
The Atlanteans did not carry out any military operations against the moon base for five and a half months in a row, and Wang Wei gradually had a little hope in his heart that he should not have appeared, and he felt that maybe the moon base could be saved in this big war.
Therefore, he never took the initiative to provoke the enemy, but he didn't expect that the Atlanteans would send the Yunzhou fleet into the abyss of no return!
After everyone withdrew into the passage, two airtight doors about five meters thick slowly closed, and after the airtight device was bitten, a slight vibration entered the passage.
Wang Wei was very melancholy, and sighed with a complicated mood: "The base is starting to self-destruct, speed up!" ”
The convoy quickly sank into the depths of the tunnel, and shortly after, a nuclear bomb detonated a reactor in the deepest part of the lunar base.
Due to the blockade of the Atlanteans, the outside world did not know that Wang Wei had taken 30,000 lunar immigrants into the depths of the moon, and the moon base had become a paradise inside the battlefield but far away from the war.
Luo Wei, who was struggling violently in his heart, finally made up his mind that even if there was no hope, he would take the fleet to give it a try, and it would be great to leave the battlefield directly faster than light.
But before he could give the order to move forward, the location of the lunar base suddenly erupted like a volcanic eruption, spewing out hundreds of millions of tons of lunar rock and lunar soil, just like a huge flower of death suddenly blooming on the surface of the moon.
Then the U.S. base, the Russian base, the EU base, and the Moon City were blasted from the inside, and the four bases and one city were completely destroyed in the blink of an eye.
Luo Wei was stunned on the spot for a moment, his brain was almost knotted, why did the moon base start the self-destruction system after sending a signal for help?
The self-destruction of the lunar base was also unexpected by the Atlanteans, so much so that the Atlantean battleship, which was responsible for sending a radio to lure the Yunzhou fleet, forgot to turn off the launch system.
Five huge explosions destroyed all the bases and the only city on the moon, but the Yunzhou fleet could still receive a distress signal, Luo Weideng's eyes were round, and he was speechless in shock.
The bases are gone, where did the signal come from?
At this point, no matter how stupid a person is, he can guess where the distress signal is coming from, and Luo Wei understands that the self-destruction of the lunar base is to sue him, and the distress signal comes from the Atlanteans.
Luo Wei thought that everyone in the moon base had died in the explosion to protect the Yunzhou fleet, and he was immediately ashamed of his previous hesitation, and he was so guilty that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into. (To be continued......)
