Chapter 155
155 The base
so this is the South Pole base, huh? ” Xia Pingan came out of the submarine’s exit and looked at the huge dome above her. She could not help but sigh in her heart. It was so big.
The base was completely built in the belly of a mountain somewhere in the South Pole.
The two nuclear submarines that had sent Xia Pingan and the others here were quietly parked in the submarine dock in the mountainside. Only submarines could dive in from the sea at this dock, and there was no entrance or exit at all. The submarine berths on the dock were more than 500 meters long, which could accommodate eight nuclear submarines at a time.
Above the dock was a huge dome. Warm man-made sunlight shone down from the dome, making the entire port as bright as day.
Directly opposite the port were the words “heaven mending base” cast in steel.
Two rows of armed soldiers in snow camouflage stood on the side of the port.
A soldier in his 60s, wearing a General’s uniform, stood on the dock like a javelin, welcoming the arrival of Xia Pingan and the others.
The 54 Summoners from the country of fire who were participating in the ‘sky patching plan’ got off the submarine one after another and stood in front of the general.
“Welcome to the BU Tian base. I am the person in charge of the BU Tian base, Zhang Yuzhong!” The general spoke calmly and cut straight to the point. I’ll explain the next arrangements. In a while, I’ll bring you all on a tour of the BU Tian base. After the tour, each of you will be assigned a room. Tonight, the BU Tian base will hold a welcome dinner for all of you, so you can all relax and rest in the base. From tomorrow onwards, before you enter the other world, you will need to study in the base for two days to understand the relevant information about the other world. Three days later … The 54 of you will be divided into two groups and enter the other world through the spatial Rift. You will officially begin your mission. Any questions?”
Jiang duo ‘er asked, ” aren’t the other 54 people from the East coming with us? ”
they will arrive at the BU Tian base in ten days. They will enter in batches after you!
if we enter in batches, how do we identify our comrades and the people who entered before us? ” Another Summoner asked.
all the members of the heaven patching plan will have a set of secret codes and methods to identify contact after entering the other world. You will learn these contents in the course two days later!
Upon hearing this, Xia Pingan nodded to himself. The arrangement of the skymend plan was indeed thoughtful. It was almost as he had expected. They were the fifth batch of members who had participated in the skymend plan. After entering the other side, if they met the members who had participated in the skymend plan before, there would definitely be a way to identify each other.
“General, can I ask you a question? how did the spatial Rift leading to the other world be discovered?” Someone else asked.
it’s information provided by the Oracle!
Oracle?
Xia ping ‘an and Yan duo looked at each other. Xia ping’ an said,”sure enough.”
After the three questions, no one spoke again.
“Any more questions?” General Zhang Yuzhong’s gaze swept across everyone. Seeing that no one had any more questions, he nodded. if you have any more questions, you can ask your teacher in the next two days of classes. If there are no questions, I will take you on a tour of the BU Tian base!
……
Bu Tian base was very large, and it was a base built in the South Pole according to the standard of the doomsday bunker.
The entire base was built in the belly of the mountain under the glacier. Outside was the ice-covered Antarctic continent, where snow and wind howled all year round. For one year, half of the year was polar night, and half of the year was polar day. The surrounding thousands of miles were basically no man’s land. Other than penguins, seals, and a small number of Antarctic wolves, there were almost no other animals on the ground.
The base could accommodate more than 5000 people, and the core area of the base was the teleportation zone where the spatial Rift was located. The teleportation zone was heavily guarded and was usually not open to the public. It would only be opened during the heaven patching plan.
In addition to the transmission area, the base also had three major areas, namely the research area, the living area, and the supply planting area. The three areas were located in different underground levels.
The research area was used to study all sorts of information about the other world.
The living area was the living area for everyone in the base. Besides over 1000 elite soldiers, the rest were the researchers, producers, and Summoners of the base.
The replenishment planting area was mainly the underground farm of the base, which was a vegetable greenhouse, which adopted the soil-less cultivation technique. In the other greenhouses, some chickens, ducks, pigs, and cows were raised to provide meat for the base.
After touring the base, Xia Pingan could roughly guess what the doomsday bunker was like.
The base was a collection of cutting-edge technology in energy, biology, safety, and many other aspects. It was not an exaggeration to say that if the surface was completely occupied by monsters, the humans living in the doomsday bunker would be completely self-sufficient and would have no problem surviving for hundreds of years.
After the tour of the base, everyone was assigned to a room. The group, who had been jolted on the ships and submarines along the way, could finally have a good rest.
The welcome dinner at night was Grand and lively, but not extravagant. The food and drinks at the dinner were all produced by the BU Tian base. Other than Xia Pingan and the others, there were also Summoners, officers, and many researchers at the base.
At this banquet, the few female Summoners who had come with Xia Pingan and the others naturally became the main characters of the banquet, especially Jiang duo ‘er. She was even more radiant. As soon as she entered the banquet venue, she became the center of attention.
However, it was strange. Among those female Summoners, there was actually a woman named Ming ruolan. She was also extremely beautiful and her looks were comparable to Jiang duo ‘er’s. However, that Ming ruolan had always kept a low profile. She always felt cold and unapproachable. Xia Pingan had never seen that woman take the initiative to talk to anyone. On the ship, she basically stayed in her room and rarely came out. She had even missed tonight’s dinner.
……
The next morning, the 54 people who arrived at the base were in a classroom. They were full of curiosity as they welcomed their first class.
No one knew what the world on the other side of the spatial crack was like.
Everyone wanted to know, because this was not only related to the success or failure of the mission, but also their life and death.
The one giving the lesson was the base’s chief researcher, Xue gang. He was a senior expert in his sixties who had personally participated in the ” heaven patching plan “, wandered to that world twice, and came back alive. He had also stayed in the base for more than 20 years.
On this planet, there was probably no other living person who knew the world on the other side of the spatial Rift better than him.
there might be gods in that world over there, haha.
In the classroom, the base’s chief researcher’s first sentence made the entire classroom instantly quiet down.
