Chapter 239 Another World (I)
Darjeeling.
In this area of mountains.
The new human soldiers who captured this place controlled each block and then conducted a preliminary screening of everyone.
In a mountain area about 8 kilometers away from Darjeeling City, there is an underground base set up by the Field Support Department.
There were a total of 8,673 new humans in this underground base, including many elderly and weak people who had not migrated to Hongsawadi.
Large amounts of supplies are being transported out of this base rapidly.
The city of Darjeeling was destined to be abandoned because the Assam branch did not intend to continue operating any of the visible cities. The surrounding mountains and underground areas were the core of the Assam branch.
The field department, which had already selected the locations, had thousands of prisoners cooperate with the work and began to carry out basic transformation work on the selected small mountain villages.
A multi-legged mechanical device covered in camouflage arrived at one of the small mountain villages.
The seventh team of the logistics group of the Darjeeling base has deployed a 4,000-square-meter green umbrella in the valley halfway up the mountain.
The multi-legged mechanical equipment moved quickly along the mountain path and soon entered the area covered by the green umbrella.
The team leader, who looks like a new person, is inside a cave that they dug using ground-corrosion bacteria, air pumps and mud pumps.
The artificial rock walls constructed by genetically recombinant coral polyps make the interior of the cave very solid.
After all, this is the junction of plates , and earthquakes are very frequent. As this is an underground facility, and a permanent underground facility at that, earthquake protection must be in place.
The Darjeeling area will be one of the logistics bases of the Siliguri Corridor in the future, and all facilities must be moved underground.
Now the front line is in the Siliguri Corridor, while in the secret base in the Darjeeling area, all efforts are being made to build underground facilities.
…
Compared to the slow transformation progress in Darjeeling area.
In the area close to Hongsavadi, the progress of various projects is very fast due to the full support of the Hongsavadi branch.
For example, Manipur, which is surrounded by mountains, has a large area of 22,000 square kilometers, but its population is only 3.07 million.
This is a relatively low-density region among the seven states of Assam.
Among the local population, the yellow race accounts for about 90%, which is very conducive to the rapid absorption of the Homo sapiens company.
Previously, the Field Support Department’s activities here were concentrated in the mountainous areas.
An unknown underground tunnel extends 3.2 kilometers from Hongsavadi to the west into Manipur.
With the establishment of the Assam branch, construction here can be carried out more unscrupulously.
After all, they had to worry about being discovered by the Indians, so they could only proceed secretly. Now the outside world can only observe through satellites and reconnaissance planes. There is obviously no way to detect facilities deep underground.
In the underground tunnel, a large nail-shooting machine is pressed against the rock wall.
boom!
In the barrel of the nail shooting machine, the TNT propellant exploded and expanded rapidly, ejecting a carbide needle as thick as a finger.
The alloy needle instantly penetrated nearly two hundred meters of rock.
Then a technician wearing a work exoskeleton inserted a water pipe into it, and only began to continuously inject a nutrient-rich solution containing special corrosive bacteria until the pipe reached the end.
Other workers were using mud pumps to hollow out the rock walls that had been corroded into mud and sand, moving forward little by little.
About 5.7 kilometers northwest of the tunnel is an underground base secretly built by the Field Support Department - the Baishi Base.
Inside the Baishi base, excavation is also underway in the direction of the main tunnel, with the intention of digging a branch tunnel to connect to the main tunnel.
The scale of this Baishi base is one of the largest in the Assam division.
Because it is very close to Hongsavadi and is one of the first few secret bases established, its scale is naturally among the top.
Currently the base can accommodate 56,000 people.
After the Assam branch was officially established, the population of the Baishi base, which originally had only 7,361 people, is now rising rapidly.
The six members of Ganlin's family who were relocated from Imphal, the capital of Manipur, are now in panic.
The various areas inside the Baishi base are not crowded together, but are divided into 7 areas, each with its own functions.
After coming out of the disinfection room, Gan Lin supported his mother, his wife held his youngest son, and his two twin daughters, aged six or seven, fearfully pulled at their father's clothes.
The fifty or so people traveling with them were equally nervous.
The five new humans in charge of the team took some new immigrants to the daily necessities application room.
Walking in the passage, due to the presence of luminous lichens, it does not seem dark here, but very bright.
In the daily necessities application room, each of them received three sets of daily clothes, toiletries and a temporary ID card.
After a while, they arrived at a station.
After waiting for about 6 minutes, an electric train came from one of the tunnels.
Because there is oil-bearing shale in the underground rock formations near the Baishi base, the scale of power generation here is relatively large, sufficient to supply the electric trains inside.
Take the little train.
More than fifty people were relocated to residential areas .
Currently, there are three residential areas and one special area in the Baishi base, all of which can be used to accommodate residents.
With the sound of a bell, the train arrived at the Baishi No. 3 residential area station 2.2 kilometers away.
After getting off the station, there is a compact fountain square.
An artificial fluorescent lamp is installed on the dome ceiling, which is more than 20 meters high. It can achieve the effects of rising and setting, and waxing and waning of the moon through sliding rails and coverings.
After passing the fountain square, there is a commercial street.
The Ganlin family looked at the shops on both sides curiously. Through the glass windows, they could see all kinds of goods.
Clothes, small hardware, small electrical appliances, daily necessities, food ingredients, books, toys and the like can all be produced to a large extent by the base itself.
After crossing the commercial street, the tour guide took them to the food street and entertainment street, which was obviously to help them familiarize themselves with the environment.
Finally, we headed to the area where they lived, where the houses were arranged like high-rise buildings.
Gan Lin came to the house allocated to his family.
This is a simple house with an area of 120 square meters and a floor height of 3 meters. The decoration style inside is very simple. Cement and bamboo reinforcement are used as much as possible. The walls are painted white and the floor is covered with pure cement slurry.
In order to save resources, there is no kitchen here. On the one hand, it reduces the cost of laying gas pipes and gas stoves, and on the other hand, it is also for safety considerations.
The bed is also a very simple wooden bed. You can sleep on it with the bedding and pillow you get from the application office.
However, when Gan Lin opened the glass window of the balcony at the back, he found that there was a garden outside the balcony.
This is specially designed to solve the problem of claustrophobia. It can also supply some oxygen and set up the building's integrated ventilation system in the garden corridor .
Gan Lin opened the back door of the balcony and stepped in carefully, and found that this was actually a real lawn, and the small shrubs, flowers and plants were also real.
Other neighbors also discovered the back garden behind the house.
However, they were soon scolded by the new human administrators, who told them not to step on the lawn but to walk on the gravel path.
The new human administrators are very aware of the qualities of these new immigrants, and they will definitely have to be strictly disciplined for a short period of time.
After all, daily life in an underground base is very different from that on the ground. For example, cooking with open flames at home is definitely not allowed.
