Chapter 131

The launcher is very high. Dozens of huge hydraulic storage tanks are installed below. I don't know what's inside. Above the complex launcher, a "metal chimney" with a diameter of four meters protrudes. Because it is very high, it looks very slender. From a distance, it looks like a black flag pole directly inserted into the blue sky.

"That slender pipe is actually like a water pipe. We transport liquid ammonia upward from its interior, and then spray it evenly around from a fountain like device on the top. In this way, it is like forming a semicircular transparent liquid ammonia bubble with its diameter... Just covering the whole base.

Of course, due to the refraction of light by liquid ammonia bubbles, its smooth and uniform outer layer looks like a mirror in the distance, reflecting the surrounding scenery, which can basically make the base invisible.

Of course, this is only suitable for the desert. The scenery in all directions on the desert plain is extremely monotonous and boring, and there is little difference between it and the mirror image. In the city, this trick doesn't work.

This is just to avoid the reconnaissance of high-altitude satellites or aircraft. Although the satellite is gone now, we don't want to be tracked by the blood moon, so the device has not been turned off.

This set of hidden devices is actually quite old-fashioned. For observation at low altitude or on the ground, the effect is very limited... "

"Why use ammonia?" Wang Yanke asked the technical details curiously.

"Oh, of course, it is because of the natural characteristics of ammonia. Its boiling point is only - 33.43 degrees Celsius. It is the most liquefied gas at room temperature. As long as the temperature is properly controlled and ionized, it will form a coating like oil film with high viscosity and low volatility in the air.

As for other technical details, such as how to control its refractive index, how to make a barosphere within the base, how to make liquid ammonia overflow evenly along the outside of the barosphere without mixing into the breathing air, this is not something I can worry about. The expert in charge of meteorological weapons only cares about this. I only know about... "

"It's a great deal in management to appoint talents, then entrust them with heavy responsibilities and let them do it!" Wang Yanke praised each other verbally, but he estimated the area of the base in his heart.

The concealment technology of such a large base is indeed unsatisfactory if other means are used, not to mention the difficulty of construction. Any tangible object will form a shadow in the sun, but is trying to cover up.

The gas oil film that transmits light and refracts light and shadow is the best choice. These scientists in magnesium country are really creative.

No wonder aliens finally missed them!

"You are really a very innovative nation!" Wang Yanke repeatedly complimented each other.

Gant smiled proudly, but then politely said, "it's just the ideological and cultural differences between the East and the West. It's like you Chinese, with the simplest technology, just hide the base in a hollowed out mountain so close to the capital, and let our agents find it in the open area of the West for decades.

In fact, this way of thinking is the most difficult to guess. In your words, the most dangerous place is the safest and the most likely place to hide. In the eyes of the enemy, it becomes the most unlikely place to hide, just like many children playing hide and seek. They usually go under the bed last. "

Wang Yanke also laughed: "we have many people. It's easier to move such a big project!"

The two sides looked at each other and burst into a burst of laughter at the same time. Song Xiaojia blinked. Although he didn't quite understand the content of the conversation between the two sides, it can be seen from everyone's admiration that Wang Yanke spoke freely, neither humble nor arrogant. He is indeed a diplomatic genius!

During the conversation, the people had entered the reception hall. It was getting dark outside. Dinner was ready. Gantt invited all the accompanying staff to sit down as a hospitable host. Everyone was polite and sat down side by side.

Sure enough, the differences between eastern and Western thinking are reflected on the table again. The Chinese people pay attention to unity, sitting around, fairness and equality, try to ignore the superficial differences in class and identity, and get along with each other in a smooth and moderate attitude.

The western table on major occasions is especially narrow, reflecting the sense of solemnity and distance, distinguishing between you and me, eating each, and keeping a distance.

Hao Zhipan, who has been waiting there, has a long neck. The dishes have been put on the table for a long time. Steak, lobster, snail, chicken wings, goose liver sauce, smoked salmon, all kinds of rich, all kinds of unknown people, all kinds of colorful things, filled a large table. He stood by and drooled and waited.

Hao Zhi had never eaten Western food. He grabbed his knife and fork and didn't know how to use it. He poked with his knife. Song Xiaojia scolded him in a low voice: "can you eat a meal like sweeping garbage in the dustpan? Have you done much more on duty in the class?"

"Mind me?" Hao Zhi ignored her and continued to fork everything he wanted in front of her with a fork. Then he picked up the plate and swept it into his mouth.

General Gantt smiled at him. Wang Yanke smiled at him apologetically: "sorry, rural children, I haven't seen the world!"

Like air force one, the US military has already prepared embedded headphones for them, and everyone's conversation is being translated simultaneously.

General Gantt smiled with great understanding: "they are the same, the same, ha ha ha

The first time I ate in a Chinese restaurant, it was better to be a embarrassed monkey. It was just a bowl of noodles, but it was like a big battle. "

"Oh, by the way, is there any sign of mechanical warfare insects around here?" Hao Zhi asked vaguely as he chewed.

"Not yet. My troops conducted a carpet search but found nothing. At present, it seems that the war insects are still 400 kilometers away in the West. With their heavy crawling speed, I'm afraid they won't be here for a week... Frankly, we're not sure whether the enemy will really attack zone 51." general Gant shook his head with a bitter smile, A confident look.

"Why do you say that?" Wang Yanke didn't need to eat. He was curiously observing the works of art placed in the showcase near the wall of the restaurant, and suddenly turned back.

"Because even if we send a distress signal, no one will pay attention..." general Gantt suddenly changed his confident appearance, stopped the fork that was about to be put into the inlet and said with a heavy expression.

"Oh?" the people around the table stopped chewing, as if they were afraid to delay hearing the next important message.

Gant smiled bitterly and shook his head: "eat first, everything will be after dinner!"

Everyone ate a meal in silence. The food like brocade and embroidery didn't know what it tasted. Everyone felt like a stone in their heart. They thought there was still a glimmer of vitality to ask for help, but the fire of hope was extinguished because of Gant's words.

Is it true that no alien civilization is willing to help?

After dinner, Gant sent someone to arrange the visiting Chinese staff to their rest places. After everyone made a simple settlement, the core figure was invited to the reception hall by general Gant. He led everyone to the core area of the base's scientific research, in front of a huge warehouse building.

Judging from the fact that the soldiers on the external guard are guarding the area step by step, this should be a very important area.

Hao Zhi led two girls to stand in front of Gant's gate, watched him go to the access control system, press the fingerprint and retrieve the retina. Then, the corner door on one side of the warehouse automatically popped open and everyone rushed in.

After entering the general laboratory of this huge warehouse, the sterilization room came into sight first. With the help of the staff, we did simple gas and ultraviolet sterilization here, changed sterile work clothes, entered the second door, passed through the tortuous glass corridor, and finally came to the experimental hall.

To Hao Zhi's surprise, the first thing is the floor here. Each floor is like a display screen. It is fluorescent. When people walk on it, they will adjust the brightness of the surrounding lights at any time.

According to the direction pointed by the toe of the person standing, the intelligent floor will light up the light in the direction you want to see, or pop up a holographic window on the side for voice prompt and interface operation at any time.

Moreover, the floor photosensitive element can interactively predict the executor's intention according to the behavior of the person walking on it. For example, if you snap your fingers, a fully automatic chair will slide over and let you sit down.

When Gant simply raised his palm, the center of the whole hall outlined a holographic screen in front of him by hundreds of holographic projectors hidden everywhere. The operator was placed in the screen and wrapped 360 degrees. He could move all the windows in front of him at any time, browse any information and carry out the specific operation of any gesture

Hao Zhi suddenly remembered the huge hanging computer screen in the underground palace laboratory. At that time, he felt very tall. Now, when compared, it seems so crude.

In addition to the meteorological weapons he knew during the day and the stealth technology of the base, he had to admit that the science and technology of magnesium people is indeed not at the same level.

Like this huge laboratory, if you don't have permission to enter, it will be an empty warehouse in front of the intruder. What you can see at most is the high-tech plastic floor that doesn't match here, and nothing else.

What Gantt showed us was a resource information database full of every corner, including global combat maps suspended in mid air, countless suspended real-time images, and a large number of data analysis and data.

This whole warehouse is the location of the ternary super brain. This time, they are not in the "front" of the super brain, but directly into the "inside" of the super brain

"Your doubts should be answered by the super brain. This is the operation end of the legendary Sequoia supercomputer..." general Gant drew a cross on his chest, like a devout believer, and then made a lift with one palm upward. At the same time, his five fingers suddenly opened into his palm, and the sensing floor immediately captured his action information.

Almost at the same time, under the action of the laser holographic image projection system, the image of a bearded white robed Saint appeared in mid air!

The image of the saint projected by the hologram is quite tall, a bit like the image of Gandalf, the mage in the Lord of the rings. He has long hair, white robes, silver whiskers and a long mahogany staff. He floats down slowly like a fairy wind and stands face to face with general Gant.

"Almighty Ike..." general Gantt called it with a complex expression.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" asked the super brain computer projection, known as EK.

General Gant pondered for a long time before slowly opening his mouth and asked, "EK, I know you are the wisdom crystallization of alien advanced civilization. You have always given us selfless technical support, but why can't we get any response when we send a distress signal to you?"

The "EK wise man" projected by the super brain computer was flying in white robes and his long silver beard was scattered all over his chest. He smiled kindly and shook his head at Gant: "you should not send signals to outer space, whether it means peace or asking for help..."

"Why?" Hao Zhi blurted out a question from the crowd.

EK turned his head to him and slowly floated to the crowd: "because no one will respond!"
