Chapter 456 Drilling a hole
I have to say that the Americans’ weird creativity is something you can’t even imagine in China. A group of us lie in such a large coffin and run for more than ten kilometers with our feet pedals, and finally arrived near the launch site.
The biggest difficulty in getting close to this place is that it is too empty. This launch base is located on the Gobi Desert, with no cover around it. Within 200 kilometers, there are no people's lands, and the plants in the place are sparse and generally not more than one meter in height. What's more serious is that the terrain is too smooth and there is almost no ups and downs. Under normal circumstances, it is very difficult for such places to be discovered and approached quietly, but today ours are taking a big advantage.
The heavy rain caused the visibility of this area to be less than five meters. This visibility is enough to allow us to approach here quietly without worrying about being discovered. In addition, this ugly coffin made by the United States can do nothing even if we use a detector.
The huge immigration ship was like a giant beast hidden in the rain, and the huge shadow made people feel irritated. We carefully approached the entrance of the underground base below the launch platform. This entrance was semi-buried, only one meter high on the ground, and looked like a turtle shell buckled on the ground. This was the design specification of a standard air defense bunker.
The first thing we saw when we arrived at the door was a large iron door that looked rusty. You can tell at a glance that this thing hasn't been used for a long time.
In fact, if nothing unexpected happens, this door should have not been opened for at least twenty years.
Of course, the Ark Base was not built twenty years ago. After all, we didn't know that the Solar System Terminator was flying towards the solar system. In fact, this Ark Base was expanded using a ballistic missile base abandoned by the Americans. This gate was not the gate used by the Ark Base, but the emergency evacuation door used by the original missile base. According to the drawings provided by the US government, there should be a passage behind this gate connected to the Ark Base, but this section here should be a completely abandoned passage. The real Ark Base has its own entrance and exit, not only larger than this one, but also newer.
Because the passage inside the entrance is already in a abandoned state, there is no monitor installed here, and even the electronic lock on the door is broken. Even if we have a password, we can't enter, and the battery on the door lock has long been out of power.
After we quickly approached the gate, we did not break in directly, but listened to the movement inside first, and only heard a regular buzzing sound, which should be the sound of some mechanical equipment running rather than human voices.
"Can pepper." I yelled in a low voice.
Chili quickly opened her palm and pressed it on the door lock. Then she saw that the door lock began to turn red quickly. Then Chilili's little hand slowly inserted into the door lock. Then she suddenly grabbed something and pulled it out, and a melted metal ball was pulled out. This is the lock core. Without this thing, the fixing bolt on the door lock would lose its support.
After dissolving the door lock, I tried to push the door, but found that it was not moving. Although the door lock was removed, the door had not been opened for 20 years. The metal door shaft had been completely rusted, and even the door panel and the door frame were rusted into a whole piece. There was no way, so we had to dissolve the door shaft and then remove the entire door.
After we dropped the door, we immediately saw the passage behind the door, but now it was completely pitch black inside. Without reminding me, everyone switched their eyes to the infrared band and began to move forward. Now the scene in the Ned channel was as clear as the lights were on in our eyes, but the color of the picture was a bit strange.
The design of this passage is quite unique. First, it is a small section downward, then a corridor horizontally, turning a corner and then turning horizontally. This is actually a design for confusing people. On the surface, these downward channels and horizontal channels all turn ninety degrees, but in fact the steering angle is not ninety degrees, but there are certain deviations. Of course, the deviation of each turn is not large, but because there are many bends in this passage, and more than a dozen turns in a row, no matter how good the direction is, people cannot tell the difference between the east, south, west and north. Of course, this trick is useless to us. Our dragon clan has the accuracy of a computer, and can accurately know the direction they face no matter how many turns the body turns.
After walking along the passage for a short distance, we encountered a collapsed passage. This is why the Ark Base did not set up a checkpoint here, because there was a landslide in the middle of this passage, which was impossible for ordinary people to get through and needed large equipment to dig the passage, so there was no need for defense in this passage.
Of course, we do not have the ability to dig this passage. After all, we are combatants, not siege machinery. Although we have the physical strength, we don’t have time to do this.
Of course, we entered here not to dig a landslide passage, but to use this passage to enter the ark base. Some people may wonder, since the passage has been towered and we do not intend to dig it open, how should we enter the base?
This question is actually very easy to explain.
Although the passage in front collapsed, at least a ten-meter-long landslide area needs to be dug through to pass, so even we need a long time to dig through. However, after digging three meters downward from the place where the landslide was blocked, we can enter the main ventilation duct of the ark base. This depth is actually nothing to us.
It may be quite difficult for ordinary people to dig a three-meter-long passage, but it is not a problem for us. Besides, we also bring professional equipment. This ultrasonic cutting machine can dig out cylindrical passages. All we need to do is to get out the loose soil and rocks in the middle.
With the help of this attack, we dug through the passage in more than ten minutes and then entered the main ventilation duct.
From here, we can enter the interior of the ark base, and this is the most dangerous part. Although we are in the ventilation duct now, we cannot move along the ventilation duct because there is a laser fence every few meters in this ventilation duct. As long as we climb forward in the direction of the ground, the alarm will be triggered immediately, and the other party will know that we are coming, so we absolutely cannot walk through the ventilation duct.
The purpose of entering the ventilation duct is actually not to climb forward along the ventilation duct, but to enter the common trough. On the other side of the outer wall of this ventilation duct is the cable pipe of the homeowner's base. There is a direct connection to the security system here. We need to do something from here before we can start the next action.
All three-meter-long passages have been dug, so it is certainly not a problem to open a hole in the ventilation duct. After opening the hole, we see the communication duct, and this thing cannot be brutally cracked.
The outermost layer of this communication pipe is an anti-corrosion and pressure-resistant synthetic plastic sleeve. This thing has no technical content. The technical content is the rubber insulation layer inside.
This rubber insulating layer is not the insulating layer outside the wire as imagined, but a special protective layer. In this rubber insulating layer, there are twelve glass fibers, commonly known as optical fibers. These twelve optical fibers are not used to transmit data, but are constantly transmitting a set of variable password groups. If you want to cut the outer rubber protective layer, you may damage these optical fibers that are thinner than hair. Once the optical fiber breaks, the other party knows that someone is moving their lines.
This kind of protection measures can almost be said to be physical. So far, their only disadvantage is that they are expensive, and others are advantages, because this thing cannot be destroyed silently. As long as you do something to this wire, it will inevitably cause the line to be disconnected. Once the line is disconnected, it means that someone is invading the line.
Although this base is controlled by those people, the infrastructure is still carried out by the US government, so many designs and other US governments here have it. Therefore, we know that this line cannot be touched, and we did not intend to touch this line. The reason we found this line is because we need to follow it to find another thing - a data exchanger.
One of the big reasons why this kind of cable is expensive is that it requires a switch to be set up at a distance. This thing not only needs to relay signals, but also requires simple data processing, so it is actually a computer rather than the kind of switch that everyone usually sees.
Of course, the location of this thing itself is relatively hidden and has a protective layer, which is not that easy to touch. However, we didn't have any preparations. Although we didn't know that we would penetrate the spacecraft before we came, because the elder sister from the delegation organization told us that we needed to bring as much equipment as possible, we actually prepared a lot of things, and the things that happened to be useful in it.
After finding the route, I reached backwards and Ling quickly put something that looked like a giant centipede on my hand.
If an ordinary person suddenly sees such a thing, he will definitely be scared to death, because this thing not only looks like a centipede, but also has almost 60 cm in length. The thickest position of the body is about as thick as the thumbs of three adults together. Looking at the dark red link-shaped carapace and hundreds of legs, normal people will be scared. But I am not afraid of this thing, because it is actually a small tool made by our Longyuan Biological Laboratory. Yes, although it looks like a creature, it is actually a remote biological tool with no much thinking and consciousness, specially used to perform work in narrow pipes.
Put this thing on the communication line, and the bug immediately climbed along the line and quickly climbed forward. All we have to do now is wait for it to find the repeater. As long as this thing is close to the repeater, it will find a way to establish a physical connection with the repeater, and then we can directly invade the security system and close the laser fence in the ventilation duct.r1152
