Next, the inertial confinement reactor will undergo trial operation for one to two months. After it is confirmed that there is no problem, the reactor will officially take over the power system of the Minaret Experimental Base, turning this underground base into a completely self-sufficient refuge. Place.
On the sea side of the Minaret Experimental Base, an L-shaped inland port was excavated according to the original design, and reinforced concrete was used to fix the shape.
Extending outward from the port is an underwater tunnel about a kilometer long. However, because it has not yet been connected to the outside ocean, there is no seawater in the tunnel.
In this tunnel, Chen Chen designed a total of three gates A, B, and C, just like the floodgates of a reservoir. In this way, even if the Minaret Experimental Base is connected to the outside ocean, no seawater will pour in.
If a submarine in the ocean wants to enter the Minaret Experimental Base through the passage, it only needs to open the first gate, let the submarine in, then close it, and then open the second and third gates.
As for submarines, it was naturally impossible for Chen Chen to order behemoths like Kilo and Lada. The reason was also very simple.
First, that kind of submarine is too huge and cannot be accommodated in Chen Chen's port.
Second, although this type of submarine is not considered a nuclear submarine, it is still a powerful weapon in conventional force. If it is ordered, it will only attract the attention of all continents. After all, the power of this type of powerful weapon is not that of ordinary armored vehicles and armed helicopters. Comparable.
Third, because military-grade submarines are too sophisticated and complex, they cannot dive into too deep waters. Kilo-class submarines can dive to a maximum depth of 300 meters, Lada-class submarines can dive to a maximum depth of 400 meters, and some double-shell nuclear submarines can only dive at most. Dive to a depth of 500 meters.
Chen Chen's Minaret Experimental Base is located 723 meters below sea level.
Therefore, Chen Chen just asked Xiao
Unlike military submarines, exploration submarines are small enough and do not have any requirements for weaponry or endurance. Therefore, this kind of submarine can dive to a depth of seven to eight hundred meters. The submarine Chen Chen bought is a sightseeing submarine. , and can even reach a depth of one thousand meters.
This sightseeing submarine is a five-meter-long and three-meter-wide mini-submarine. Different from other submarines, this submarine is U-shaped as a whole, like a huge pliers, and in the center of the U-shaped fuselage Part is a spherical cockpit.
This spherical cockpit is almost entirely made of tempered glass, which can effectively disperse the pressure of sea water. The interior is divided into three seats in a Z-shaped shape. Sitting inside the sphere, you can see a 360-degree panoramic view. It can be said that it is a must-have for the rich. Ready.
The price of this kind of sightseeing submarine is even higher, with one unit costing US$1.8 million.
These submarines have been put on standby on the Black Light, and at the Minaret Experimental Base, the port project has finally come to an end today after being implemented for nearly a year.
At this time, the passage to the outside world has been completed. It is a circular passage with a length of 1,200 meters and a diameter of ten meters, extending from the cave of the Minaret Experiment Base to the end near the ocean rock wall.
In the channel, three giant gates have been installed. The farthest gate is located at the end of the channel, only a few meters away from the outside sea water.
"What we have to do next is very simple. We just need to use explosives to blast open the outermost rock wall and open the passage. Then we can have an extra passage in and out of the experimental base."
Listening to Xiao The next tunnel was extremely deep, and I couldn't help but ask, "Once the spire is connected to the sea, how will the entrance be disguised? An extra gate on the dark rock wall should be very conspicuous."
"Don't worry about that."
Little In this way, no one can discover the passage unless the gate is opened."
"good."
Chen Chen nodded, "Then start it now."
"yes."
As Xiao
There is a big "C" written on this gate.
At the same time, the artificial intelligence X-111 of the Minaret Experimental Base also issued a warning to the entire laboratory at this time, "Warning, within ten minutes, the air pressure in the Minaret Experimental Base may be disordered. All personnel are asked to stay awake to prevent accidents. Sleeping causes damage to the middle ear canal…”
"The five-second countdown begins: five, four, three, two, one!"
Rumble, rumble…
A subtle explosion sounded, and Chen Chen felt his feet shake slightly. Then, a vibration of a special frequency came closer from a distance.
"The rock wall layer has been blasted, seawater has poured in, and is filling the gap between gate A and gate B... "
"The space between gate A and gate B has been filled with sea water, and gate A is beginning to close..."
"Gate A is closed, gate B is opening..."
"Gate B has been fully opened!"
With the reminder from Little
Obviously, the seawater has surged outside Gate C.
However, Xiao X did not directly open gate C, but repeated the previous operation again.
"Close gate B... Gate B has been closed, open gate A again..."
"Close gate A, open gate B..."
After repeating this method many times, the entire channel was finally filled with sea water. Only then did Xiao X close Gate A again and reminded, "Your Majesty Godfather, I am ready to open Gate C."
"open it."
Chen Chen nodded and had no intention of leaving.
So, in Chen Chen's eyes, the huge and heavy gate under his feet finally let out a low whine, and then opened a tiny gap with a roar.
Suddenly, water that was pressed into a thin layer rushed through the gap and sprayed in. Standing at the port, Chen Chen only smelled the fishy smell of the sea.
Immediately afterwards, the gate slowly rose, and more and more seawater poured in. Chen Chen only heard a deafening roar in his ears, and the port was rapidly being filled with seawater in the channel!
It wasn't until the water level in the port rose to close to Chen Chen's feet that the influx of seawater stopped completely, and then the underwater gate C closed again, sealing the passage.
At this point, an artificial inland port has been completely constructed.
Next, you only need to park the purchased micro-submarines here, and you can enter and exit at will along the port, without having to enter from various entrances and platforms of the Life Sciences City every time.
Moreover, the underwater channel is equipped with a water pump, which means that if necessary, the seawater in the channel and the port can be pumped out again.
Of course, the entrance and exit of the port is definitely not as convenient as the elevators in the Life Sciences City, but the opening of the port means that the Minaret Experimental Base now has a more hidden escape route.
In the future, if Chen Chen overturns or the experimental base is exposed and the army surrounds Chen Chen's life science city, Chen Chen can also use the ocean route to escape.
After all, if you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood, and you will be prepared for a rainy day. Although Chen Chen is confident that he will never reach that point, there is nothing wrong with leaving a way out.
