Vol 3 Chapter 240: Lop Nur

Chapter 240
Lop Nur, located in the southeast of Xinjiang Province, is located in the eastern part of the Tarim Basin and is the lowest point in the Tarim Basin. In the old saying, Lop Nur means a lake into which water flows. In ancient times it was called Takizawa, Yanze, Puchanghai and so on. Before 330 AD, there were many lakes, and on the northwest side of this large basin was the famous Loulan City, which was once the throat of the famous "Silk Road".
"There is a girl named Xiaofang in the village who looks good and beautiful ..."
At dusk, Lop Nur is getting thicker. At this time, it is nine o'clock in the evening. Unlike the mainland, the night here is very late. The evening temperature is as high as forty degrees. Armored, mysterious and intriguing.
The sentry in the twilight, but there was a very low faint singing, but it was actually just a light hum.
Here is a sentry backed by Lop Nur. In the stone room, two soldiers are on duty, one is Wen Changan, and the other is Yao Zili. On the ground, there was a military dog ​​lying on his back.
In the evening, the changing comrades-in-arms had not arrived yet. Yao Zili replaced Wen Chang'an and continued to stay in the sentry house, watching the distant desert with a telescope.
Of course, there is also a military dog, who is also lying there with his tongue out for a long breath, while watching the distant world distantly.
This is a vast world, but it is not a world of extinct life. There is still a huge Lop Nur behind, and in front of it, you can also see the tall tǐng drawn poplar trees slightly dàng in the wind.
Wen Chang'an relieved his stiff body a bit, squatting beside the army dog ​​Dashan, while humming a song in the meeting, I don't know who wrote and composed the song, but this song was sung a long way.
"Are she far away, how are you?"
Unconsciously, Wen Changan reached into his military uniform's inner bag, took out a small plastic bag, and carefully opened it. Inside it were many unfolded letters and a two-inch small photo.
In the photo, a girl holding a book is standing by an artificial lake on campus, facing the camera with a bit of shyness, and she has the most natural innocence in her eyes. The girl is not particularly beautiful, but she is pretty .
"it's beautiful"
Although Wen Chang'an was also an army soldier who joined only after graduating from junior high school, it is difficult to describe the feeling in his heart with the adjectives he knows. Only three words ‘really beautiful’ can express the feeling in his heart.
"Chang'an, look at your family again?"
Yao Zili raised his telescope and watched the distance vigilantly, searching seriously for any suspicious target, and at the same time said to Wen Chang'an next to him, he knew that once the boy sang a love song, he would definitely be facing His pictures of children have been posted. It's no wonder that in this deserted Lop Nur, if there is a sow at the base, it will be a rare female, let alone a shy picture of a young girl.
According to military regulations, in places where you can look out for several kilometers at a glance, and even a bird cannot sneak away without a trace, two-on-duty soldiers do not need to fully abide by the duty regulations, but are more human. Make it more. After all, if you stay here for years, you will feel lonely.
"Think, why can't you think that, for three years in the army, the sow raced a sable cicada, who said that? Oh, yes, military writer Pan Yigu." Wen Changan mō the head of the mountain next to mō, the girl in the photo But my childhood sweethearts grew up and loved each other. It was only after graduating from junior high school that his grades did not rise. He chose to enter the army, while Wang Coco continued to study. This year is a freshman. He studied mechanical manufacturing at Hunan Institute of Technology. He is a very quiet girl. "She said, when she graduated from college, don't ask me to buy her a gold and silver ring, bring her a medal, and she will marry me."
"Well, you've said this a hundred times. The biggest problem is that in such a place where birds don't shit, you can do whatever you want to do, and where do you go? And according to regulations, within three years, we may You can go to a small base city hundreds of miles away, of course, maybe we will still be here three years later. "
Yao Zili reassured that he was telling the truth. He and Wen Chang'an are secret internal security forces in the army, responsible for guarding important targets and bases, and they are now guarding, from the level of alert, the best he knows. Advanced SS-grade base.
He and Wen Chang'an were elected to this secret army that year, but they were superior in military quality and political beliefs. They changed to the local army, and maybe they have already jumped to the squadron.
However, soldiers who obey orders are obliged not to ask why they should obey them. In their opinion, since the order was to let them guard this SS-class base: Lop Nur 12 base. That is what should be performed unconditionally.
Not only that, but being able to shoulder such an important mission, they felt that it was a sacred duty. Yao Zili's words were just a joke. Whoever said that, the soldiers wanted to contribute, just like those heroes.
However, a few years have passed, and as their understanding of this base has deepened, so have the doubts. Without breaking the discipline, the soldiers will also talk about this mysterious base 12 Especially in the most boring situations where people are on duty in the hot sun for hours, people can't stand without looking for a topic.
Because, often, in the world of sentries, only two people, a dog, and a poplar tree in the distance can move. In addition, the sky and the ground are all dead, even if there is a large lake behind.
Wen Changan shook his head. Regarding base 12, although it is the highest SS-class confidentiality for the outside world, as long as it does not violate the discipline, there is still some discussion under sī.
"I always think the base is not simple. If you think about it, such a long distance to Lop Nur to build a base, surrounded by large deserts, must be a secret military base." But for this, Wen Changan himself did not believe it. In addition to the guards of their regiment, there are more scientists and staff stationed in this base, and the more people come later.
The base was empty at first. The guards and the two engineering battalions arrived first. The engineers built a base consisting mainly of a stone house. Later, the leaders and guards of some bases lived in this stone house. These stone houses have a simple structure and are very effective in preventing overheating during the day. Although people are also very hot in the house, they are much stronger than staying outside.
Later, the base changed day by day. First, electricity was supplied to the base. The benefit of the railway extension was that diesel, diesel, enough drinking water, food, and medicine were brought in. The engineering units repaired here today and tomorrow there. At the same time, the engineering team also started construction. Today, an observation station is built here, and an observation post is built there tomorrow. A huge base is soon built into a prototype.
Under the witness of Wen Chang'an and other guards, the base built a real small base station, which contained various instruments they had never heard of, and even things like TV sets were placed in the room. The arrival of more experts and scholars in white robes made them more aware that this seemingly nothing on the 12th base actually hides a huge secret.
However, because this is an SS-class top-secret base, including the security guards, they have issued the highest passwords. The base allows the people in the base and friends and relatives to maintain communication, but each letter must go through at least five Special Intelligence Department's professional intelligence. The analyst's analysis was considered, and then the special postal service of the army sent the mail to the other person, confirming again that it was OK.
"There may be new missions recently. I heard that some fraternal units will be able to make a contribution after completing the xìng defense work, but I don't know what kind of medal we can send us after completing the security task here. The highest-ranking Chinese medal is definitely not working. Going down, the Medal of the Republic? The Medal of the People's Army? "Yao Zili could not help guessing. "Even if it is a lowest-ranking People's Army five-level medal."
He has heard that there are security forces, the highest honor ever received is higher than the People ’s Army Medal, and the Republic ’s Third Medal. In this era of the Republic where the war has not yet fully erupted, it is already a soldier ’s dream. . The most realistic thing is to take home a Medal of the People's Army, Guangzong Yaozu.
Moreover, according to the regulations of the Republic, officers and soldiers who have won medals have a lifetime bonus. The soldiers are very dedicated, but they still yearn for the honor and wealth that they have desperately earned.
"Maybe, there has to be a change." Wen Changan also hoped that as a special security force, it was actually boring. However, while they were eager to know the secret, they would never allow them to know it, unless the superior ordered it. Let them witness this secret.
"Changing people are here, let's go."
Yao Zili lowered his telescope and said to Wen Chang'an, who was lying on a cotton coat. The low temperature here at night was scary. The cotton coat and bedding were prepared for the comrades in the night shift. This is the only way to the base. Two The guard, a military dog, and a stone house, a phone, are everything here.
After the handover of the sentry post, the sky had gradually darkened when Wen Changan and Yao Zili walked out of the sentry.
"Tomorrow will be a new day."
This is a word often said by every soldier on duty in the deserted Lop Nur.
"Gather emergency collection"
In the early morning of the next day, a gathering whistle blew at the base guard battalion area on the 12th. Soldiers who had been used to rushing out of the barracks quickly and the whole team was completed.
"Everyone has it, rest for a while, stand up" Song Guanzu, the head of the regiment, personally taught all the soldiers on the 12th base: "From today, your mission will enter a whole new period. The alertness of the base will immediately increase to First-level combat status. Otherwise, the first battalion will conduct daily security operations, the second battalion will cooperate with the base, and the third battalion will be responsible for a new job ... "
The new job is very simple. It is to cooperate with the engineering units to enter a desert zone 200 kilometers away from the base and cooperate with the engineers B to complete the task.
Yao Zili and Wen Chang'an are the three guards of the battalion. When they heard that, they couldn't help but rejoicing. Although they were both working in the base, it was still good to change their positions occasionally. You know, they have been here for almost four years. Here, for the first time, there is a 'new job'.
When officers and men of the Third Battalion took the truck to the desert belt center 200 kilometers away by truck, many things were already waiting for them.
"How is this posture like building a house here?"
When soldiers from a whole battalion jumped off the truck, they found that everything was full of things nearby. There are cut stones, bricks, sacks of cement, jugs filled with tons of water, and even more bizarre, there are animals such as pigs, cows, dogs, chickens and ducks.
In addition, there are worn out cannons and machine guns that are further away. The soldiers were surprised that an old Tiger-I tank was placed on the open space. Beyond meters, it is a fully armed fighter and a bomber with its auxiliary fuel tanks hung up.
No one knows when these items were dragged in by the engineering units, but they are really there, which makes people feel strange. Is this a garbage collection station?
"From today, you will cooperate with the engineering units to build this experimental base. During this period, you will sleep in the tent until I declare the mission completed, and I will not be able to return to the base. I understand that there is no"
"Yes"
The battalion commander commanded expressionlessly, and the soldiers roared in unison, taking command.
The next flash was three months, something that made Yao Zili and Wen Changan strange, but still couldn't find a solution.
"It's strange."
A rare break in the evening, Yao Zili and Wen Changan sat on the hill, tired all day, and finally were able to take a rest.
"Yeah, it's so curious." As a security force, the most painful thing is to wait for the secret to be answered by itself. Many times, they are only one meter away from the highest secret, but more often, they are not clear until death, what exactly they are guarding in their military career.
During a break, a brave soldier asked the battalion commander what time it was. The battalion commander looked at the soldier who had peeled off his tired hands, patted him on the shoulder, and handed him a Cigarette said, "Boy, I don't know what it is here, but when I left the base, the leader said, the superior told him that as long as the base people, there will always be a secret of the base, and They, like us, will be proud and proud of their desert career in these years. In the words of the head, we may be ordinary, but often we are doing extraordinary things. "
The soldiers, like the battalion commander, have not returned home for four years. The battalion commander and the regiment commander have not returned home for four years. Even the children and relatives specially approved by the superior are visiting at a military base hundreds of miles away. To a high degree, the veteran qualifications of the two security forces, including the battalion commander and the regiment commander, are completely unclear.
Three months have passed, and this so-called experimental base has begun to take shape.
As more and more goods are brought by large trucks, in addition to a small-scale housing complex, there are also roads, a railway, and a railway station.
In the house, except for the animals that were put in cages, the furniture, quilt covers, and even the cabinets were fully furnished. In towns, there are even water pipes.
On the east and west sides of the town, there are a group of wooden buildings.
Outside the town, there are some things placed in accordance with the guidance of the engineering team experts. In addition to the cars everywhere in the town, there are also some outside the town, and further away are cannons, tanks, planes, machine guns, and even one An old torpedo boat.
"Look at it, there are a few more cars." Yao Zili pointed to the distance, and sure enough, there were a few cars that had just turned over Gobi.
"What's pulling again this time? Is it really going to live here?"
The convoy finally stopped outside the newly established town, and the soldiers who received the order hurriedly assisted the engineering forces to unload the cars.
However, when these packages were opened after the team left, everyone was stunned. How could they be a life-sized dummy?
With questions, the soldiers and engineers began to put these dummy in each house early in the morning the next morning, and watching every house and house as dummy like normal people, everyone ’s Curious is worse.
When looking at the dummy who is sitting at the table reading a book, riding on a bicycle outside the house, or watching TV in the room, the soldiers, although they do n’t believe in evil spirits, still feel a little scalp, which is unknown. Frightening.
However, the duty of the soldiers tells them that they should know what they should not know. All you need to do is execute the command.
Half a month later, Lop Nur 12 ushered in a special shuttle bus.
"Li Zheng, salute"
When Zhang Shusheng came down from the special train, everyone was shocked. Everyone shouted hooray in their hearts after a while, but at the same time, they salute and salute the most unexpected visitors of the base in the past four years.
Who would have thought that this Lop Nur No. 12 SS base that he has always adhered to today will actually usher in the Supreme Chairman of the Republic, the leader of the Baath Party, the person with the highest power and the highest spiritual leader of the Chinese, Zhang Shusheng.
The soldiers are crazy. At this moment, the persistence over the years has been rewarded. Whether it is two or three years here, or five years further, everyone thinks it is worth it.
A base, a base worthy of the chairman's personal running from thousands of kilometers away, is already worth it.
Even if there is no medal and no credit can be established, it is sufficient to have guarded this special base and met the highest chairperson.
This shows that this is an SS-level base that has a major future for the Republic.
"Comrades, it's been hard. I came to see the base and also to see you."
Faced with the welcome base staff and guards, Zhang Shusheng said such a sentence affectionately, yeah, what can comfort them more than this one?
They have been here for the shortest two years, and the longest have been five years. The Lop Nur 12 base, which is the highest density project in the Republic, has always been in or out, at least temporarily. So. Even if they leave, they can only live in base cities hundreds of miles away, where small cities are built, and if their children and family members are willing to come, they will be assigned to free houses and get a job. But these soldiers and staff, at least for a short time, are unable to leave the big circle of base 12.
Everything must be kept strictly confidential ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Chairman, welcome to Lop Nur "
In a base laboratory in the base, a group of scientific researchers came out, and one of the leaders was the Chinese nuclear weapons research project: Professor Xiong Heming, the top leader of the solar project. Behind him, he followed Einstein, Oppenheimer, and a group of new scientific representatives trained by the Republic: rookie scientist Qian Sanqiang and others.
These scientists came here a few months ago.
"Everyone has worked hard, let's go and let me see your results"
Zhang Shusheng bowed his head slightly. This time he came to Lop Nur in order to witness the rise of the Chinese nation again. Isn't it just to exchange time for scientific and technological progress, and to use time to digest the high-tech that you have, so as to the survival and development of the Chinese nation?
The coming of this day will be the greatest affirmation of his work in these years, and China's scientific and technological progress will also take this event as a watershed.
Because Lop Nur will prove to the world that the solar power belongs to China.
