c467 Entering the Ruins (Part 1)

This scientific research station, which is manufactured at the top international level, looks even more upscale than the scientific research stations in all countries just from its appearance. Without it, having money means you can do everything.

The United States has sufficient funds for scientific research, and it is impossible to compare with a wealthy company like Andres. A scientific research station is built to the highest international standards, and its cost is completely undesirable in the eyes of ordinary countries.

Just because something can be done for ten thousand dollars, it is necessary to spend one hundred thousand dollars to improve the level of performance by less than 10%. It is not advisable from a cost-effective perspective. Even the United States will not be willing to purchase equipment in this way. . However, Andres just did this. Chen Yang, who attached great importance to the Antarctic underground ruins, made a big move and gave the Antarctic side sufficient and unrestricted service funds, which was enough to purchase the best living facilities and scientific research equipment.

The scientific research station has established eight unit buildings. In addition to regular residences and storage warehouses, a vegetable greenhouse unit was specially opened to allow the staff here to eat fresh vegetables, so that after the icebreaker docks, the personnel who come down can first Eat fresh vegetable salad in Antarctica for a while.

“Huhuhu…”

The cold wind blows outside, but the vegetable greenhouse is gentle inside. It adopts soilless cultivation technology. Under the control of a central computer, the LED plant growth lights can adjust the lighting duration according to the conditions of the vegetables themselves. The automatic irrigation system injects nutrient solution into the water tank every hour or so; when the room humidity is lower than 70%, the humidification system will automatically humidify the entire greenhouse.

The vegetables grown here are varieties with short growth cycles and very low cultivation difficulties. Take the cucumbers grown here, for example. One cucumber vine can harvest one cucumber in an average of two days. If 20 are planted, the 18 workers can be guaranteed to eat fresh cucumbers every day during the winter.

Not only that, in addition to a variety of vegetables, fruits that are difficult to cultivate such as apples, strawberries, and peaches are also grown in modern greenhouse units with high strength and high light transmittance to ensure that in addition to vegetables, here Andres staff at work. You can eat fresh fruits at any time.

“The conditions are really good.”

After inspecting here, Chen Yang is still quite satisfied with the current situation here.

Compared with the superior conditions of the scientific research station here, the basic situation of the scientific research base near the underground ruins is a little worse.

After all, the two hundred people there are no more than the fifteen permanent staff here. If you want to build a greenhouse where more than two hundred people can eat fresh vegetables at any time, the scale will definitely be beyond the scope of this hundred square meters greenhouse. Done.

After working hard on the icebreaker for several days. After arriving at the scientific research station, follow the body’s biological clock. It was ten o’clock in the evening when it was time to go to bed. Chen Yang and others rested here for the night, and early the next morning, they drove towards the underground ruins.

A total of seven large snowmobiles drove in pairs toward the vast skyline. The journey of more than two hundred kilometers was not too far. At a speed of fifty kilometers per hour, it would only take close to five hours at most.

Of course, even if it took some time on the way. No one will panic. Antarctica is in a state of extreme daylight and it is always daytime. The working hours are not restricted by time.

“arrive.”

Zenobia, who was sitting next to Chen Yang, glanced at the computer screen, her voice was still as cold as ever.

“Have you contacted Ryan and the others?”

“We have been contacted, and Ryan has sent a car to pick him up.”

Sure enough, not long after the convoy had driven, they saw two snowmobiles waiting in the distance.

Leading the way, two snowmobiles led the convoy forward. After a while, a scientific research base was built on the basis of the former Soviet camp. Suddenly appeared in everyone’s sight.

After reconstruction, the former Soviet camp has basically changed beyond recognition. Only Chen Yang, who had been here before, could see the shadow of the previous camp from certain traces.

The base, which can accommodate up to 500 people, is definitely not small in scale. On the basis of rebuilding the original camp, it also deliberately expanded it to the outside, resulting in a rather vast area.

To be honest, Chen Yang couldn’t help but be stunned when he suddenly saw such a huge group of buildings in Antarctica. Although I have seen this scientific research base in photos and videos, what I see in photos and videos is not as shocking as seeing it with my own eyes.

“Boss, you are here.”

Ryan immediately stood in front of Chen Yang and said hello respectfully.

“Well, things haven’t changed much, right?”

It was basically impossible for any unexpected situation to occur in one night. Chen Yang asked casually, and sure enough, Ryan shook his head and said that there was no new unexpected situation.

“You are familiar with the situation below… You will organize a group of people and Zenonia to go down with me later.”

“Boss, the situation below is still unclear, so you don’t have to go down in person, right?” Ryan hesitated, obviously not agreeing with Chen Yang’s personal risk-taking behavior.

“No need to say more, I have my own considerations.”

The Antarctic underground ruins are of great importance, and Chen Yang has always attached great importance to them. This time, such a serious accident has occurred. How can you find out what happened if you don’t go down in person? It’s not that he doesn’t trust Ryan and others. If it were elsewhere, he would certainly trust the team he formed. But this place was unusual after all. Without him present, Chen Yang was worried that Team Alpha might never return.

“So boss, when will we set off?”

Now that Chen Yang had made up his mind, Ryan no longer worried about dissuasion and immediately accepted the order.

“Leave in two hours… Bring supplies. We may spend the night down there tonight.”

Two hours were given to prepare and rest, which was far enough for the Alpha team. Not to mention the Vengeful God of Vengeance who hardly felt any fatigue, even the elites were not even tired from the four hours of running around. No, the two hours are just waiting for the EMER special emergency team here to be ready.

After everything was ready and the equipment was checked, the Alpha team had a total of twenty-five people, the ERMER special emergency team had a total of eleven people, plus Chen Yang, Ryan, and Zenobia, making a total of thirty-nine people. The team walked towards the lifting platform.

The several months of operation were not in vain. The original simple tunnel has been enlarged, and a lifting platform has been built to accommodate people’s entry and exit.

With this lifting platform, more than 20 people can be transported down at one time, and 39 people including equipment can be transported down in just three trips.

The bare stone wall passage has been reinforced with steel and concrete, and the cables and wires installed here should keep the lights bright and information flowing. Unfortunately, since the contact below was lost, even the cables seemed to have been interrupted.

After entering the place below, everything you see is pitch black, with no light coming from anywhere.

The first member of the EMER special emergency team to come down, holding an automatic rifle, pointed it forward and glanced around. The strong light under the gun also dispersed some of the surrounding darkness with the movement of his wrist, barely allowing everyone to see the surroundings clearly. environment of.

After discovering that there was no unforeseen situation, someone began to quickly arrange emergency lights, thus illuminating the passage so that people coming down from behind could directly see the surrounding environment clearly.

“Hey, the cable here seems to have been broken by something?”

One of the team members crouched down and made a confused sound. The broken cable had different cross-sections. It didn’t look like it had been cut with a sharp weapon, but rather like it had been torn apart by an animal.

However, the quality of this kind of industrial cable is very high. It is surrounded by a layer of plastic with an astonishing thickness. Ordinary mice and small animals cannot bite it and destroy it. Being able to bite and break this kind of industrial cable… basically even a lion can’t do it.

Chen Yang walked to the damaged cable and looked down for a few times. The damaged cable was indeed very strange. It didn’t look like it was made by man… There was no way someone would be stupid enough to tear it with their own teeth. Bite?

“Attention, everyone, be careful and follow instructions. No one is allowed to do anything without permission. Do you hear me clearly?”

Ryan issued orders to the EMER team he led, but did not walk in front.

It should be said that the two ERER team members were leading the way, and then the first-generation Evil God of Vengeance Carl and the second-generation Evil God of Vengeance No. 6 and No. 7 took the lead.

Forget about the second generation of the Evil God of Vengeance. After all, his body shape is almost the same as that of an ordinary person. Unless he bursts out with such amazing power, there is usually no difference at all.

But the first-generation Evil God of Vengeance, Karl, was different. He was over two meters tall, and his appearance was burly and powerful, unlike that of a normal human being. Especially the huge electric-driven machine gun he held in his hand made everyone look at it and feel in their hearts. I couldn’t help but feel invincible and even desperate.

If you go against such an enemy, you might as well just commit suicide.

It always makes people feel at ease to have someone like this walking beside them.

While walking forward to explore, he was also investigating the surroundings. Dozens of people lost contact down here, and more than ten drones were lost. There should be a lot of clues left, as long as If you observe carefully, maybe an inconspicuous thing can become the key factor in solving the problem.

No one present was a simple person, especially Chen Yang, who, out of caution, entered an overclocking state after coming down, in order to prevent accidents and ignoring clues.

“That’s…someone!”

An exclamation caused everyone to be alert and confront each other with guns. (To be continued ~^~)
