Chapter 241 Another World (Part 3)
Through the system wizard of the biological mobile phone and with the help of the block manager, Ganlin's family finally adapted to the Baishi base.
He found a temporary job as a construction worker.
Today is the first day of work, and Gan Lin reported to the company.
The training team leader who is in charge of guiding the new recruits is a very strong muscular man who looks a bit fierce.
To these rookie new employees, the muscle man was very direct:
"Work hard. You may not be able to adapt to the new situation in the beginning, but don't be discouraged. If you don't understand, ask. If you don't know, learn. If you want to be lazy, don't blame me for not reminding you. If your performance is not up to standard, you will be assigned to the worst position."
Everyone finally started to take things a little more seriously.
After changing into a full set of work exoskeleton in the company's changing area.
The muscular man took a group of newcomers and took the electric train to Construction Site No. 506.
On the train, everyone could only see the dark tube walls on both sides. Gan Lin and others soon got tired of this scene. Fortunately, there was a large-screen biological computer in the carriage that could play news, TV dramas, variety shows, etc.
Unfortunately, Ganlin could not read or write, and the content was in Chinese, English, Burmese and Thai, so he could not understand what the TV program was saying at all.
Seeing this, the muscular male team leader reminded: "You can use the earphones of your mobile phone."
After saying that, the muscular man took out two dark green patches about the size of his little finger nails from the back cover of his mobile phone and stuck them around his ears.
Gan Lin and others followed suit and clumsily took out the biological bone conduction patch. This patch has its own electromagnetic wave signal receiver inside and can also absorb energy from human blood, so it does not need to be charged.
Of course, this blood-sucking energy supply mode is not harmful to the human body, and can even treat diseases such as hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia.
When the patch was put on, Gan Lin felt a slight tingling sensation, but then the pain disappeared.
After a while, with the help of the mobile phone system wizard, they were able to use the simultaneous interpretation function.
Through simultaneous interpretation, they finally understood what the TV series was saying.
At this time, the TV program was being broadcast, which was the domestic and international briefings of the news channel of Hongsavadi Development TV.
In the video, the host said seriously:
"In order to cope with the possible influx of refugees in Assam, the Aoba Group, Development Group and United Group have respectively contracted the construction of border barrier walls..."
"Hongsavady will strictly adhere to a neutral position, close all roads and ports with Assam from now on, and strengthen the defense of the western border..."
Upon hearing the news, Gan Lin and others looked at each other in surprise.
Although they are illiterate, they still have some basic common sense. For example, as locals, they must know place names like Assam, Manipur and Siliguri .
"Is there going to be a war?"
“Maybe!”
“I don’t know what will happen in the future.”
The muscular man clapped his hands and said, "Instead of worrying about this kind of thing, you might as well think more about the work later. The Indians can't get in."
Huh? Indians? Although Gan Lin did not consider himself an Indian, the fact that the muscular man said it so blatantly clearly showed that the people in this place did not seem to have a good relationship with India.
Just as everyone was whispering, the train finally arrived at construction site No. 506.
This is a construction area located 173 meters below the surface. The rock layers above are mainly igneous rocks, and there is an underground river around it.
When the muscular man brought them to the construction site, the top floor slab was being laid.
"Our team's job is to transport mud and sand. Come here..." As he spoke, the muscular man led them into the equipment room.
Equipment such as mud pumps, pipes, mud-water separators, and transport vehicles are displayed inside.
The muscular man was very responsible and basically taught them step by step how to operate the equipment and various precautions.
Until noon, all the newcomers were still confused.
The muscular man was not angry about this. After all, they were all illiterate rookies. They could only do preliminary regular training in the first month, and then have two months of internship before they could become qualified junior employees.
In the cafeteria at the construction site.
Gan Lin finally got to eat rice and chicken. He had been eating porridge for several days and he couldn't stand it anymore. Now he missed rice very much.
While the newcomers were having their meal, the muscular man gathered in a small room with several other new colleagues to eat and chat about the progress of the project.
"Engineer Cheng, when will the roof construction be completed?" asked the muscular man holding a chicken leg.
"Team Leader Tie is also concerned about this?" Engineer Cheng took a sip of green tea, then picked up a piece of cut artificial wagyu beef and put it into his mouth.
Muscular man Iron Science shook his head: "The main reason is that the population is increasing, and the energy of our base is a bit tight. Long-term control of electricity and gas is not a problem. Our project is very important."
Engineer Cheng certainly knows the importance of this project: "It will take about 13 days to install the top plate, after all, nuclear protection materials need to be installed."
Although underground bases are located in mountains or deep underground and often have hundreds of meters of rock and soil above them, it does not mean that they are foolproof.
For example, bunker-buster bombs, nuclear bombs, and neutron bombs can all hit part of the target underground.
As for the bunker-buster bombs, the base mainly adopts a hard-resistance solution through a special non-Newtonian fluid layer and a protective layer constructed of genetically modified coral polyps.
The top two or three floors of underground buildings are usually not used as residential areas or areas where people do not frequently move around.
Among the various areas of the base, the residential area is relatively deep, usually below 240 meters underground, and the defense strength of the building structure is often the strongest.
As for nuclear bombs and neutron bombs.
The neutron bomb is actually not that bad. The bio-nano carbon-lead-aluminum alloy plates produced through biosynthesis technology, coupled with such a thick stratum, make it difficult for the neutron bomb to kill people inside the underground base.
What really poses a fatal threat to underground bases are hydrogen bombs and atomic bombs.
As long as it is hit head-on, it is still difficult to completely defend against it even if it is two or three hundred meters underground.
Especially for hydrogen bombs with an equivalent of more than 1 million tons, the large crater formed by the explosion, coupled with seismic waves, rock compression, thermal radiation and neutron jets, once hit head-on, there is basically no possibility of survival.
Fortunately, when selecting a site, the Assam branch gave priority to mountainous and plateau areas, as well as metamorphic rock formations such as granite, which greatly enhanced the upper limit of resistance to hydrogen bombs.
As long as it is not hit head-on, even if the explosion center is within two or three kilometers, the base's defenses can still withstand a large part of the attack.
Because India's hydrogen bomb technology is not mature, there are no mature hydrogen bomb warheads at this stage, only atomic bomb warheads.
Due to the characteristics of the reaction mode of the atomic bomb, 300,000 tons of equivalent is the limit of the atomic bomb.
Of course, if the Indians used several atomic bombs to bomb the same location continuously, they could indeed destroy the base below.
However, the Sapiens Company will obviously not give them the opportunity to do so. The major powers are also not vegetarians. They will most likely join forces to prevent India from using nuclear weapons.
Therefore, the current defense capabilities of the various underground bases of the Assam branch are excessive. This is actually also a consideration for the future, so as to avoid any secondary upgrades in the future.
The underground facilities in areas including Honsawadi, Luzon, and Siam actually have similar defense levels.
This is necessary preparation for possible crises in the future.
