Chapter 456: Drilling a Hole

I have to say that Americans have such wonderful ideas that you would never dare to think of in China. A group of us just lay in this big coffin and pedaled for more than ten kilometers, and finally arrived near the launch site.

The biggest difficulty in approaching this place is that it is so empty. This launch base is located in the Gobi Desert without any obstructions around it. There is no man's land within a radius of 200 kilometers, and the plants there are sparse, and the height is generally no more than one meter. What's even worse is that the terrain is so flat with almost no ups and downs. Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult to approach this kind of place quietly without being discovered, but today we took advantage of it.

The heavy rain caused the visibility in this area to be less than five meters. This visibility was enough for us to approach here quietly without worrying about being discovered. In addition, with this ugly coffin made by the United States, even using detectors would be ineffective against us.

The huge immigration ship is like a giant beast hidden in the rain curtain, and the huge shadow makes people feel scared. We carefully approached the entrance to the underground base under the launch platform. This entrance is semi-buried, only more than one meter high above the ground, and looks like a turtle shell buckled on the ground. This is a standard design specification for an air defense bunker.

The first thing we saw when we arrived at the door was a large rusty-looking iron door. It was obvious that it had not been used for a long time.

In fact, if nothing else happens, this door should not have 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 there was a solar system terminator flying towards the solar system. In fact, this Ark base was expanded by using an abandoned ballistic missile base by the Americans, and this door is not the gate used by the Ark base, but an 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 door 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, which is not only larger than this. And updated.

Because the passage inside this entrance is in an abandoned state, there is no monitor installed here. Even the electronic lock on the door is broken. Even if we have the password, we can't get in. The battery on the door lock has long since run out of power. .

We quickly approached the door and did not break in directly. Instead, we listened to what was going on inside. As a result, only a regular buzzing sound was heard, which should be the sound of some kind of mechanical equipment rather than human voices.

"Chili." I whispered.

Chili quickly opened his palm and placed it on the door lock. Then he saw the door lock begin to turn red quickly. Then Chili's little hand slowly inserted into the door lock, and then suddenly held something in his hand. With a tug, a piece of molten metal was pulled out. This is the lock cylinder. Without this thing, the fixing bolt on the door lock will lose its support.

After dissolving the lock, I tried pushing the door. It turned out that it didn't move at all. Although the door lock was removed, the door had not been opened for twenty years. The metal door shaft had long been completely rusted to death, and even the door panel and door frame were rusted into one piece. We had no choice but to dissolve the door shaft. Then the entire door was dismantled.

After descending the door, we immediately saw the passage behind the door, but now it was completely dark inside. Without my reminding, everyone switched their eyes to the infrared band and started moving forward. The scene inside the passage was now as clear to our eyes as if the lights were on. It's just that the color of the picture is a bit strange.

The design of this passage is relatively unique, starting with a small section downwards. Then cross a corridor, turn a corner and continue downward, then turn sideways again. This is actually a design used to confuse people. On the surface, it seems that these downward passages and lateral passages are all 90-degree turns, but in fact the turning angle is not 90 degrees. But there is a certain deviation. Of course, the deviation of each turn is not big, but because there are so many turns in this passage, it is scary. After more than a dozen turns in a row, no matter how good the sense of direction is, people will not be able to tell the difference between east, west and north. Of course, this trick doesn't work for us. We dragons have computer-like accuracy. No matter how many turns our body turns, we can accurately know the direction we are facing.

After walking along the passage for a short distance, we came across a collapsed passage. This is the reason why the Ark Base does not set up a checkpoint here, because there is a section in the middle of the passage that has collapsed, making it impossible for ordinary people to pass through. Large equipment is needed to dig the passage, so there is no need to fortify this passage at all.

Of course, we don't have the ability to dig this passage. After all, we are combatants, not siege machines. Although we have the physical strength, we don't have time to do this.

Of course we did not enter here to dig a tunnel for landslides, but to use this tunnel to enter the Ark base. Some people may be wondering, since the passage is tower-defended and we don't plan to dig it out, how do we enter the base?

Regarding this issue, it is actually easy to explain.

Although the passage in front has collapsed, we need to dig through a landslide area of ​​at least ten meters long to get through, so even we will need a long time to dig through it. However, after digging three meters diagonally downward from the place blocked by the landslide, you can enter the main ventilation duct of the Ark base. This depth is actually nothing to us.

Digging a three-meter-long tunnel may be difficult for ordinary people, but it is not a problem for us, and we also brought professional equipment. This ultrasonic cutter can dig out a cylindrical channel, and all we need to do is get out the loose soil and rocks in the middle.

With the help of this attack, it took us more than ten minutes to dig through the passage and then enter the main ventilation duct.

From here you can enter the interior of the Ark base, and this is the most dangerous part. Although we are in the ventilation pipe now, we cannot move along the ventilation pipe because there are laser fences every few meters in the ventilation pipe. As long as we crawl forward along this place, 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 not to crawl forward along the ventilation duct, but to enter the common trench. The other side of the outer wall of this ventilation duct is the cable duct of the homeowner's base. One of the cable ducts is directly connected to the security system. We need to do something from here before we can start the next step.

A three-meter-long passage has been dug, so making a hole in the ventilation pipe is certainly not a problem. After opening this hole, we can see the communication pipe, which cannot be cracked through brute force.

The outermost layer of this kind of communication pipe is an anti-corrosion and pressure-resistant synthetic plastic casing. This thing has no technical content. What does have technical content is the rubber insulation layer inside.

This rubber insulation layer is not the imaginary insulation layer outside the wire, but a specialized protective layer. There are twelve glass fibers in this rubber insulation layer, which are also commonly known as optical fibers. These twelve optical fibers are not used to transmit data, but are constantly transmitting a variable cipher group. If you cut through the outer rubber protective layer, you may damage these optical fibers, which are thinner than a hair. Once the optical fibers break, the other party will know that someone is tampering with their lines.

This kind of protection measure can almost be said to be the most tangible of all things. So far, their only disadvantage is that they are expensive. Everything else is an advantage, because there is no way for this thing to be destroyed silently. As long as you do something to the wire, it will It will inevitably cause the line to be disconnected, and once the line is disconnected, it means someone is invading the line.

Although this base is controlled by those people, the infrastructure construction is still carried out by the US government, so many of the designs here are from the US government, so we know that this line cannot be touched, and we have no intention of touching this line. . The reason why we need to find this line is because we need to follow it to find another thing - the data switch.

A big reason why this kind of cable is expensive is that it requires a switch at intervals. This thing not only plays the role of relaying signals, but also performs simple data processing, so it is actually a computer and not the switch that everyone usually sees.

Of course, the location of this thing itself is relatively hidden, and it has a protective layer, so it is not so easy to touch. However, we are not unprepared. Although we didn't know that we were going to infiltrate this spaceship before we came, the lady in charge of the delegation told us that we needed to bring as much equipment as possible, so we actually prepared a lot of things, which happened to be useful. on something.

After searching for the line, I reached back and Ling quickly put something that looked like a giant centipede into my hand.

If ordinary people suddenly saw such a thing, they would definitely be scared to death, because not only does this thing look like a centipede, but it is almost sixty centimeters long. The thickest part of the body is about the size of three adult thumbs and is So thick together. Normal people would be frightened looking at the dark red ring-shaped carapace and hundreds of legs. But I'm not afraid of this thing, because this is actually a small tool made by our Longyuan Biological Laboratory. Yes, although it looks like a living thing, it is actually a remote-controlled biological tool without much thought and consciousness, specially designed to work in narrow pipes.

Put this thing on the communication line, and the bug immediately crawled forward along the line, and what 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 pipe.
