Chapter 1121: Underground Great Wall

The car was driving on a winding mountain road. The driver wearing the latest 85-style military uniform had a calm face. He gently turned the steering wheel. The car drove fast and steadily. Behind him was a curtain that pulled up the cab. Isolated from the passenger compartment, all the windows of the car are tightly blocked by curtains.
This is obviously a temporary security measure, the purpose is to prevent passengers from knowing where they are, and all passengers consciously maintain a rigorous sitting posture, no one has the idea of ​​opening the curtains to peek at the scenery outside the car .
Tan Zhenhua sat in the passenger compartment, shaking his body slightly as the vehicle moved, as if nap, but in fact he was extremely excited-today is an important day, he will enter a mysterious territory.
Although in his previous life, he had participated in similar projects as a support staff many times, but at that time, he could only sit in front of the display console and silently watch a signal rise from the radar screen and fly to the sky. Today , He finally came to the launch site!
The vehicle drove straight into a tunnel and stopped at the end. The door opened. He saw the smiling face of Vice Minister Cao. Behind him, a row of soldiers opened a small guard of honor. They were armed and standing. The pen is straight, but Tan Zhenhua can clearly see that even though these fighters are trying their best to tighten their faces, the surprise in their eyes can't be concealed-because behind him, two weird beards are standing Get out of the car-in China in 1987, foreigners were originally not common, let alone here?
"His Royal Highness Prince Sultan and Lieutenant Colonel Suvirin, welcome to the base." Vice Minister Cao stepped forward, shook hands with the two guests, and then greeted: "Please follow me."
Today's Prince Sultan and Lieutenant Colonel Suvirin are dressed in casual clothes. In order to hide their identities, they both wear thick leather caps. Fortunately, it is still early February, and the cold wind in the northwest is still piercing. There is no sense of contradiction in wearing.
The expressions on their faces are also very serious and calm, but from their slightly shaking fingertips, it can be seen that, in fact, the excitement in the hearts of these two people will never be worse than that of him, because they had learned before they came. They are the first foreigners to enter China’s most mysterious and confidential missile base!
At the end of the tunnel is a huge iron door. With the sound of "creak", the heavy iron door gradually opened under the power of the hydraulic mechanism, revealing the long corridor behind, and everyone walked along the corridor. Yes, no one speaks, only the footsteps from the boots on the ground echo in the corridor. These footsteps quickly and unconsciously adjust to a consistent rhythm, playing a peculiar rhythm, which makes people involuntarily involuntarily. The earth gave birth to solemnity.
Finally, the tunnel came to the end, and after passing a gate guarded by guards, they came to a spacious hall with a high dome. The temperature and humidity of the air made people feel very comfortable, but there was no one on all sides. The window, Tan Zhenhua knew, because this hall was actually deep into the belly of the mountain, and outside it, there was a rock that was hundreds of meters thick.
Tan Zhenhua also knows that this is one of several underground nuclear bases that China has built since the 1960s. From 1965 until his rebirth, China has never stopped the construction and maintenance of these bases, only in 1975. Years later, some projects were adjusted according to the international situation. After decades and generations of arduous construction, Huaxia built an underground nuclear base that stretches for more than 5,000 kilometers.
Although these bases are hidden deep underground, they are the umbrella that spreads over all the people of China, and they are the underground Great Wall to protect China's national and national security in the new era!
"Our current position is the missile launch command hall, which is the hub that controls the operation of the entire base. From here, we can see the operation of the entire system." Vice Minister Cao's voice sounded, and everyone's sight followed his explanation. Throw it into the hall.
Under the huge dome, the screens on dozens of display consoles were shining, and the staff were busy and methodical. A staff officer ran forward in small steps, stood at attention and saluted in front of Vice Minister Cao, and handed it to him. One side of the folder reported: "Mission 1 is ready, please give instructions!"
Vice Minister Cao took the folder and opened it. After carefully reading the contents above, he signed his name and returned the folder to the staff officer and said, "I order, immediately execute mission 1."
The staff officer took the folder, stood up and saluted again, and replied vigorously: "Yes, execute task No. 1 immediately." Then he turned and ran away.
"His Royal Highness, please come with me." Vice Minister Cao once again stretched out his hand to signal that Prince Sultan was following him. Several people went out of the command hall and boarded a vehicle commuting in the base, and turned into another corridor. Behind him, there was a sonorous and powerful command sound from the commander: "Start mission No. 1, "Desert Falcon" enters the No. 9 launch position."
"Yes, the order was received, "Desert Falcon" enters the 9th launch position..."
...
"This is a storage warehouse for missiles." Under the leadership of Vice Minister Cao, everyone came to another huge room. Here, the two buyers and the broker Tan Zhenhua of this business finally saw the true appearance of the goods A big guy with a length of 24 meters and a diameter of 2.25 meters is pressing on a multi-axle truck, slowly drove out of the warehouse, toward another corridor, and in this warehouse, it is neatly arranged. With 7 identical missiles, under the reflection of the light, they exude a stunning metallic luster, killing and majestic.
Tan Zhenhua has noticed that there is no Chinese military emblem on the coating of these missiles.
Prince Sultan didn't pay attention to these details. At this moment, he was shocked by the spectacular scene on the scene. Thinking that his country would soon have these towns, he couldn't help clenching his fists and exclaimed: "Good sword! "
"We hope they will always be just shields." Vice Minister Cao said profoundly, "His Royal Highness, in 5 minutes, the "Desert Falcon" will enter the launch position and start refueling, but because the fuel is toxic and corrosive, So this process will not allow you to visit the scene. We can go back to the command hall and see the situation on the scene through the monitoring screen there."
Prince Sultan knew that the "Dongfeng 3" missile uses liquid propellant, the fuel is unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine, and the oxidant is nitric acid. Both of these are extremely toxic and corrosive and can only be added temporarily before launch. It was injected into the missile body, so the process of refilling was dangerous, so he nodded and agreed to the owner's suggestion.
Back in the command hall, the picture on the large splicing combined monitor screen has been switched to the missile launch position. Although the screen resolution is not high, everyone can see clearly, a huge "Dongfeng 3" body has been erected Several soldiers wearing white chemical protective suits and chemical protective masks are filling the rocket, and the sound of reports from time to time in the hall shows that the progress of preparations for the launch is normal.
Refueling such a large missile is a very time-consuming task. Although Huaxia has conducted many exploratory experiments on the refueling process, the whole process is still as long as one and a half hours-but this has already made Sultan The prince was amazed, because he knew that Ikra next door had to refuel the "Scud" for 4 hours, and the "Scud" was more than a full circle smaller than the "Dongfeng 3".
Vice Minister Cao explained the reason to Prince Sultan: On the one hand, the training level of the Huaxia Second Artillery Corps is an unknown number of orders of magnitude higher than that of Ikra. On the other hand, it is also China’s innovative use of new filling technology to solve the problem. To solve the problem of simultaneous refilling of fuel and oxidizer, this alone can shorten the launch preparation time by two-thirds.
While speaking, the pipeline connecting the missile and the fuel tanker on the screen has begun to separate. The staff officer just trot over again to report that the fuel has been refilled. The missile self-check program reported that everything was normal and requested to launch.
Following Vice Minister Cao’s order, the whole hall fell silent for an instant, and the final report came from the speaker:
"Jiuquan, optics, radar, tracking is normal, telemetry signals are normal;"
"Weinan, optics, radar, tracking are normal, and telemetry signals are normal;"
"Huashan, optics, radar, tracking is normal, telemetry signals are normal;"
...
The commander's voice sounded again: "Preparation for launch, the ten-second countdown begins...ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, light up!"
