When Chen Chen reappeared in his life science city, he immediately attracted countless prying eyes.
At the beginning, a rumor spread among the top officials of the Earth Federation that the chairman of Blacklight Technology was also infected with the fusion virus and might not be able to survive for long.
When this news reached the ears of major forces and even some secret forces, they did not believe it too much at first.
After all, Chen Chen has the ability to turn decay into something magical. He has been a legend from the time he started his business until now, and life sciences are his specialty. It is almost impossible for such a person to be infected with a fusion virus.
But later, as the consciousness-stealer virus suddenly disappeared, even Chen Chen stopped showing up and did not even attend several Lilith meetings. Suddenly, many rumors began to spread.
In fact, before entering the battlefield of consciousness, Chen Chen had told him that if he did not appear for a long time, he could use a clone to top him up. After all, there were still several clones of Chen Chen soaking in the Spire Laboratory.
However, Xiao X was not reconciled. She firmly believed that Chen Chen would win, so she never did so.
But now that Chen Chen appears in his home, this rumor has been self-defeated. Many forces that have begun to make moves have reined in their claws and fangs, quietly waiting for the next opportunity...
If they weren't afraid of the civilization-level weapons of destruction that Chen Chen might have in his hands, how could all countries tolerate black light technology's continuous erosion of their own interests and still welcome it with a smile
A few hours later, Chen Chen said goodbye to his parents and walked out of the house. He looked around his parents' house. The smile in his eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by an inexplicable coldness.
"X, it's time to clean up these 'eyes' near my parents."
Chen Chen said.
"Understood, please rest assured. Before the sun rises tomorrow morning, I will deal with this group of spies who dare to approach your parents."
X's voice came from the headset and answered.
A seemingly casual conversation between the two men could easily determine the life or death of hundreds of spies.
"correct!"
Little North America Division, North Sea Division and Europe Division.”
"This department is equivalent to a fast track that can accelerate the operation of the Black Light Foundation. If incidents such as 'sea wormholes', 'weeping angels', and 'consciousness stealers' occur again in the future, this department will We will contact the local government as soon as possible so that the local government can provide the Black Light Foundation with maximum convenience.”
"Nice, Federal Secret Service?"
Chen Chen nodded with satisfaction, "With the establishment of this federal official department, the Black Light Foundation will have the qualifications to operate around the world..."
"besides."
Little
"very nice."
Chen Chen nodded, "I plan to go there in person tomorrow to visit."
"You want to completely dispel the bad news about your disappearance."
Little X asked, "That's no problem. I'll make an appointment for you now."
"good."
Next, Chen Chen returned to his office in the Black Light Building, sat there for a while, and then returned to the spire and began to dismantle the time machine with Xiao X.
The next day, Chen Chen got on the plane again and headed towards North America. He transferred to a military aircraft in the Washington area of North America and flew to the Antarctic.
After spending more than ten hours, as the plane landed, outside the window was already a world of ice and snow with dark sky and black ground.
The polar circle is divided into polar day and polar night. The date at this time is April 1, 2029, which is the polar night in Antarctica.
The so-called polar day and polar night are actually due to the declination of the earth's rotation. The sun will not shine for a fixed period of time or shine throughout the day. From September 23rd to March 21st of the following year, Antarctica is in darkness. It is shrouded in darkness, and you cannot see any sun even during the day, but the opposite is true in the North Pole.
Chen Chen was on a C-17 military transport plane, and came with the North American region's flight to transport materials to the Antarctic. When he stepped off the plane wearing a down jacket, the top leaders of the four continents immediately came in person. Come and greet.
"Your Excellency Chen Chen."
The heads of each of the four continental regions stood in a row. Chen Chen stepped forward and shook hands with the four of them.
"Your Excellency Chen Chen is welcome to come and inspect it in person. I am the main person accompanying you this time. My name is Zhao Xi."
Because he has the best relationship with Zhongzhou District, the main person accompanying him this time is the top person in charge of Zhongzhou District at the main base. Zhao Xi is a middle-aged man who looks older, about fifty years old, and Chen Chen It can be seen that the other party has not undergone aging reversal treatment and still maintains his true age.
"Mr. Zhao Xi, have you never used aging reversal treatment?"
Chen Chen couldn't help but ask.
"Mainly because this technology is still somewhat risky."
Zhao Xi smiled and said, "Although the treatment method you created has a high success rate, once the treatment fails, I'm afraid it will take several years of rest to recover, so I have never done it, but I have made an appointment for the treatment you gave us. Taiwan’s Black Light fully automated medical platform, by the second half of next year, I can directly use that machine to restore my body.”
Chen Chen nodded, and he followed Zhao Xi to a deep and huge underground cave. There was an astonishing amount of cargo placed next to the cave, and dozens of cranes were continuously transporting the cargo down.
"As you can see, this is the headquarters of the Black Light Foundation."
Looking at the huge pit in front of him, a trace of emotion appeared in Zhao Xi's eyes, "This place has been under construction for four years, and it was jointly developed by four continents. Hundreds of billions of dollars of manpower and material resources were used. Even the Pyramid of Khufu. It’s time to build dozens more.”
"Up to now, a large framework has been built at the headquarters, and all that's left is to fill in the details. I can't imagine how we survived the past four years..."
Zhao Xi couldn't help but sigh.
"All this is for the continuation of human civilization."
Chen Chen nodded. He knew that even the Minaret Experimental Base was child's play compared with the base in front of him. You must know that this place was built as the last bastion of civilization.
No matter the amount of work invested, or the manpower and material resources invested, they are all different.
While talking, Chen Chen and the few people accompanying him had already walked to an elevator located at the edge of the big hole, and then walked in.
As the elevator doors closed, the elevator began to plummet downwards without pressing any buttons.
"Currently it only takes us two minutes to reach the base at a depth of two thousand meters."
Zhao Xi prompted.
Chen Chen only felt the feeling of falling rapidly. The elevator began to accelerate continuously, from a speed of two to three meters per second to more than 20 meters per second. This speed was already close to the speed of free fall. If it were accelerated at If it falls to the ground at this speed, not even the aliens can survive.
However, when it was about to reach the underground, the elevator began to slow down slowly, followed by a rapid sense of gravity. If you were in poor physical condition, you would probably vomit at this time, that is, everyone was still in good physical condition. Yes, only then can you persevere.
"Ding!"
As the elevator arrived at its destination, there was only a soft sound, and the elevator door opened again. This time, a huge hall was revealed in front of Chen Chen.
The hall now seems to be unfinished. A large hole with a diameter of more than fifty meters has been opened in the center. At this time, goods are constantly being transported down, and the place is also crowded with people, but most of them are not living people, but androids and XTN Engineering robots.
"This is your first time here, so I will introduce you in detail."
Zhao Xi reminded, "This is the first floor of the main base, and it is also the largest activity venue in the main base of the hall. The area of this floor alone reaches one million square meters, which is enough to be the size of hundreds of football fields. In the future, this place will It will be transformed into an activity square and pedestrian street, where everyone can exercise and spend money.”
Chen Chen nodded. Indeed, this floor alone has exceeded the area of the Minaret Experimental Base.
"This is a pedestrian street..."
“This is a shopping area…”
"Here is the stadium. Whether it is track and field events, football or basketball, you can find a venue here... "
Several people accompanied Chen Chen around. In Chen Chen's view, this place was like a miniature city, and the dome above his head was also extremely high, more than twenty meters tall. If optical equipment was installed, it would look like a blue sky and white clouds. , I’m afraid many people have difficulty distinguishing between true and false.
It wasn't until more than half an hour that the first floor was finished. Several people came to the elevator in another corner and prepared to head to the second floor.
"The entire base is structured like a top. The area going down will gradually shrink. The second floor is only two-thirds of the first floor. It is the living materials and warehouse area. It is used to store daily life supplies. supplies.”
Zhao Xi emphasized with some pride, "The supplies loaded on the second level can enable 30,000 people to live without leaving home for hundreds of years."
"A hundred years is actually not that much."
Chen Chen frowned when he heard this.
"certainly."
Zhao Xi nodded, "But if that time comes, we will also transform the first floor and transform the gardens and greening parts into soilless cultivation experimental fields. By then, we will naturally be able to obtain more materials. ”
With that said, several people have arrived at the second floor.
Chen Chen noticed that it actually took a full twenty seconds to go from the first floor to the second floor.
"That's because the first and second floors are not right next to each other."
Seeing Chen Chen's confusion, Zhao Xi continued to explain, "There is a distance of hundreds of meters between the first floor and the second floor. Even if the first floor is lost, we can blow up the first floor and shrink to the second floor to continue defense. Strictly speaking, each lower level in the base can abandon the previous level and exist independently. This is the function that the Doomsday Fortress should have."
"That's a good idea."
Chen Chen nodded and agreed.
Then several people descended again and came to the third floor.
As the elevator opened, what caught Chen Chen's eyes were fortress-like columnar buildings. These buildings extended to the top of the third floor, and there were probably hundreds of them.
"This floor is the staff dormitory."
Zhao Xi continued to explain, "We have been calculating for a long time. At first we wanted to fill the third floor with conventional rooms like conventional designs, but in the end we gave up because that kind of dormitory was still too depressing and never saw the light of day all year round. It is difficult for people to bear this kind of pressure, so we chose this kind of unit building-like building similar to the structure of a community."
"There are probably hundreds of unit buildings here. Each building has four floors. The interior is divided into two layouts: one bedroom and one living room, and two bedrooms and one living room. A total of 20,000 people can live on this floor. When they look out the window When I arrived, I saw greenery and parks all over the ground instead of cold metal passages.”
Several people led Chen Chen into one of the buildings and visited the layout of the rooms. In Chen Chen's opinion, these were indeed very lifelike, and he even saw ponds and artificial rivers in the distance.
The dome position can simulate normal sunlight and night, making people feel as if they are on the ground.
"Starting from the fourth floor is the work area."
After visiting the third floor, Zhao Xi led Chen Chen onto the elevator to the fourth floor, then the fifth, sixth, and finally the ninth floor at the bottom.
If the entire main base is laid out in the shape of an inverted pyramid, with the area getting smaller as you go down, this layout is broken on the ninth floor.
The area of the ninth floor is even larger than that of the first floor. It not only houses various production workshops, but also the main control room that controls the entire main base, and a nuclear fusion reactor.
"We want to build the lowest level into an industrial powerhouse. It can produce the daily necessities that everyone needs, even military supplies. It is also the core area of electricity, providing power and air circulation for the entire base. Unless the first eight floors are lost, otherwise This place is impregnable no matter what.”
Looking at the vast ninth floor in front of him, Chen Chen couldn't help showing admiration. He suddenly looked at the railway tracks and trains next to the ninth floor, and then raised his eyebrows, "Is this?"
"Here's the minecart."
Zhao Xi explained, "The ninth level does not exist out of thin air. We used shield boring machines to dig out several underground veins more than 3,000 meters deep underground, and these mine cars are connected there. If we really want to If the base is closed, then those resources will naturally have to be mined from the ground."
"Some minecarts can even lead to underground lakes and collect underground freshwater resources..."
Chen Chen was even more amazed when he heard this. He continued to visit for more than an hour before returning to the ground.
The visit lasted for nearly eight hours, and the other persons in charge were exhausted. Only Chen Chen's expression remained normal, with no change at all.
It wasn't until Chen Chen was sent away that they exchanged greetings with each other, then said goodbye and left.
They wanted to report Chen Chen's attitude during the entire visit to the main base, and not a single detail could be missed.
