Chapter 4466: Launch console

Lin Rui and the others moved forward for a while, then took the elevator and came to a place. Most of the team members are a bit at a loss about the structure here, but the actuary is very knowledgeable, and he knows what these places are used for.
"It seems that we are at the operational level for missile fuel refueling. Generally speaking, there is an elevator from the second underground floor to the eighth underground level of the silo. Liquid fuel is injected into the missile body from here. Next to the refueling operational level. There is a small compartment for changing clothes. People filling fuel should wear isolation suits and bring their own oxygen cylinders to prevent them from being damaged by highly toxic fuels." The actuary checked and pushed away the side one. Door.
Sure enough, they found a small isolation room there, with shelves and an iron frame for hanging isolation suits.
"It really is a missile silo." The actuary whispered. "Looking at it this way, the bottom layer should be the missile gas diversion channel. The missile is ignited and launched from the silo, and high-temperature gas flows through this W-shaped diversion channel, and the highly toxic exhaust gas is guided to the outside through the diversion channel.
And above us should be the missile launch console. Go up and take a picture of the control center, and then we can withdraw. No missiles have been deployed here, so apart from the missile launch console, there should be nothing more valuable. With this information, we have enough to negotiate. "
"Go." Lin Rui nodded, and Sergey continued to lead the way. Soon they entered the launch console on the upper floor via the elevator. The underground control room is not very large, but is a reinforced concrete structure, 13.4 meters high and 11.2 meters in diameter. The concrete structure combined with the laying of multiple layers of shock-absorbing materials can absorb energy when the silo is subjected to a nuclear attack and protect missile operators.
In addition to a main console, there are multiple cabinets, all seemingly densely packed with instruments.
"Take this photo, the missile launch console. This is a ballistic missile launch pad. You can select a preset target before launching." The actuary commanded the shore.
"What kind of instrument is this?" Sergey looked at an instrument with a strange expression.
"That is a device used to display the pressure of the missile's two-stage liquid tank. The missile uses unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine or dinitrogen tetroxide fuel, which has a faster reaction speed. However, if the fuel leaks, it will cause the oxidizer to contact the combustion agent. , It will cause violent combustion without ignition. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the pressure of the liquid fuel tank at any time to prevent accidents." The actuary nodded.
"How do you know so much?" Sergey asked strangely.
"I've been to the US military's missile bases before. These missile launch bases are all the same." The actuary shook his head.
"What's this again? The toolbox is still locked?" Scarface looked at something and frowned.
"Don't touch that." Lin Rui shook his head. "A fool would think this is a toolbox, maybe it's an ignition device."
The actuary nodded, "It is half right. This is the console lock. All control inputs can only be effective when the two keys are inserted and screwed at the same time. This is the two-person effective system in the nuclear missile launch program.
Prevent operators who have been in a confined space for too long from accidentally starting the missile. Inserted in the center of the control panel is the silo commander's key. On the side is the adjutant's key.
There is a distance of about 2 meters between the two keyholes, and there is also a large iron table between them, making it impossible for one person to screw two keys at the same time. "
"In other words, if the silo we entered has missiles, can we use these two keys to launch missiles?" Sergey asked.
"You think too much. If you want to launch the missile, having these two keys is not enough. You also need to launch a password. The password is stored in this red safe and is regularly replaced by a dedicated password keeper." The actuary left. Going to the side and knocking on the safe.
"Similarly, this thing requires two keys to open it. In fact, this design is only an auxiliary insurance action. Even if you forcibly pry open the safe and get the code, you cannot control the missile at will. Because the target of the missile is preset Okay, and different targets correspond to different 10-bit codes. It is difficult to decipher the code law of the target within a limited time. Besides, to get these codes, you need to find other keys first." Kuaima whispered. Tao.
"Do you know this too?" Lin Rui looked at him.
"Know some." Kuaima nodded, "I've been to a missile base before. The entire silo requires 10 kinds of keys, and they are all placed here. Next to the safe is a communication device, which can be communicated with the outside world by means of an encrypted private line phone. contact.
The outside world will inform the silo to hit which target number, and the method of nuclear detonation is to choose air or ground explosion. These are common sense. It’s just that I really didn’t expect to encounter a privately owned missile silo. "
"The secret society is not a private person, they are an organizational group, and they are very powerful." Lin Rui whispered.
"The little red book with the words top secret records emergency plans. For example, the position and activation method of the emergency oxygen supply valve, the position of the spare water tank, etc.. These are to improve the silo duty personnel in the outbreak of nuclear war. Survivability after the method." The actuary said in a low voice. "That is to say, this missile silo is constructed in full accordance with the standard of the US military."
"Is there any problem?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Missile silos are similar, but in details, there will still be some differences between the Russian standard and the American standard. From what we have seen now, it can basically indicate that everything here is American. Maybe this shows that the missile silo is American. The Americans are responsible for the construction, and the construction standards are completely in accordance with the US military standards." The actuary reminded.
"Mr. K also mentioned before that a large US military industry group has a secret association with the secret agency. And this is a company that can't even move the CIA." Lin Rui whispered.
"It will not happen overnight to build this place. It is very likely that they will have started the layout and construction in a few years or even more than a decade ago. The secret agency collects money from African countries through illegal means, and then uses the money to buy the warlord leaders. Pave the way for their Orumi Federation.
The layout here may even predate the establishment of the Orumi Federation. The secret society group has endured it for so long, and they have already begun to deploy Africa so long ago. The thought of this makes me feel cold. "The actuary said in a low voice.
"These will be considered in the future, and now I will shoot all of this
Come. We have to hurry up and leave before the enemy finds us. Lin Rui whispered. It's just that just after he finished speaking, the lights inside the entire underground facility suddenly dimmed and turned into flashing red warning lights.
