Longshan, outside Tianchi.
Longshan has had a very special meaning in the hearts of Tianhai people since ancient times. It was the beginning of the first generation of Tianhai Empire and the place where the last emperor abdicated. It witnessed the rise of the greatest feudal dynasty and provided the safest haven for the modern Tianhai country. The entire Longshan Mountain, from the surface to the underground, has been excavated. Many of the secrets of the past are just weird origin myths in the eyes of today's people, such as Pangu's creation of the sky and Nuwa's creation of humans. But these legends have become a bond of connection for a nation no less than blood. Will anyone question that they are descendants of the dragon?
No.
At the top of Longshan Mountain, a team of engineering soldiers was taking a rest. They were smoking while watching huge snow mining machines suck up the snow accumulated over the past few days. After preparation, this gray snow will be turned into valuable oxygen and industrial water, which can be supplied to the underground city with a population of tens of millions. According to common sense, the altitude of Longshan is not high enough to have so much snow. If it were to maintain a snow mining team in the same type of mountains outside Longshan, the cost would definitely outweigh the gain.
However, this is Longshan, and on its near side is Tianchi.
The Tianchi water system stretches throughout the Longshan Mountains, and the main peak receives about a quarter of the water. However, due to its high radiation concentration, on certain days, the Tianchi water can only be used for coal washing. After a number of complicated purification projects, to enter the domestic water system. Therefore, monitoring the water source of Tianchi is a particularly important responsibility, and biplanes carrying hydrology teams can often be seen flying. Read the book
"In the main peak No. 6 water area, air radiation concentration detection...is normal." The hydrology team member wearing goggles recorded. The biplane's flight altimeter shows 4,230 meters. This is true in mountains and river valleys, and the altitude is actually distorted.
The hydrology team member endured the cold wind and leaned out to operate the instrument. She was just about to record the last set of numbers when the index suddenly fluctuated significantly. She made adjustments according to the operation manual to no avail. She angrily hammered the instrument case, held down the earphones, and shouted to the pilot: "Don't return yet, there is a geomagnetic disturbance, there is something wrong with the instrument readings, fly a little further!"
The pilot glanced at the fuel gauge. There was plenty of fuel, but that was not what he was worried about. "You'd better hurry up! If you go to the first two areas, you'll have to get a warning. You won't be in much trouble. I'm going to write an inspection!"
The core area of Tianchi has always been an absolute restricted area. In ancient times, it was believed that the main pool of Tianchi sleeps with the sacred white dragon. It is the core of the country and the place where the emperor is enshrined. How can others be allowed to set foot in it? Hyundai is classified as an air defense restricted area, and the Yongsan missile base is located here. Guards can kill trespassers without warning.
"I don't want to take bullets either. What can I do if this broken instrument breaks down?"
After continuing the flight for about seven kilometers, next to the no-fly warning zone, the instruments returned to normal. The hydrology team member hurriedly recorded the last set of data. She held her goggles and looked at the towering navigation tower looming in the distance. She closed the cockpit hard. Cover and tell the pilot to return. Immediately, the "Stork" surveillance aircraft turned around at a speed of about 100 kilometers per hour.
"Fuck it, I have to report to the top when I get back and replace it with a better one." The hydrology team member complained. During the inspection just now, her winter hat was blown off, even though the "Stork" can be said to be the slowest aircraft. , but the cruising speed was not comparable to that of a car, and the strong wind instantly froze her to death.
"I still want to fly the Golden Dragon." The pilot mocked back.
The two are old partners. On the way back to the voyage, the hydrology team member did not forget to pick up a rare digital camera at this time and took many photos of the cliffs, claiming that this was a job entrusted to her by the geological team.
"How can you afford to buy a camera with your salary?" the pilot wanted to laugh, but the hydrographic team member suddenly became excited and shouted repeatedly, asking to lower the nose of the plane.
"Hey, look over there, the mountain there has collapsed! Damn it, the whole cliff has collapsed!"
The pilot pulled it up without hesitation. He had no interest in messing around with this little rich girl who had only been working for two years. This is Longshan! Do you know how many tactical nuclear bombs you have eaten in the past? Many mountain peaks are like hollowed-out ant nests. God knows what collapsed. Once the smoke interferes with the view, it will be over! Here, the altimeter is of less significance.
"Hey, hey! Don't be so cowardly, go down and click, let me see
Got something! ***, a big water snake came out! The pixels of the camera are not that high, please go down. "
The hydrographic team member protested that after all, the rudder was not under her feet, so she had to take advantage of the fact that before the plane climbed completely, she frantically clicked the shutter towards the collapse of the cliff. As the clouds came within reach, the so-called "water snake" also turned into a black line.
What she didn't notice was that the instrument index at the aircraft's tail was also rising rapidly.
Northeastern border, Hutou Fortress.
The frosty wind howls, and the wilderness is boundless. The large drone that was released barely maintained its course. Under the gray tone of the field of vision was a concrete anti-tank cone that looked like a bush. The Baath Army's border defense line, which stretches for hundreds of kilometers, consists of anti-tank cones, minefields, isolated mountains, hidden automatic fire points, and countless permanent fortresses.
Like countless sister forts, Tiger Head Fortress is a strong point in this line of defense. There is very little above-ground part, not much higher than an ordinary bungalow. This part is only used for ventilation pipes and transportation platforms. The underground part is an independent small shelter that can accommodate a standard infantry company of 120 people and can support it for more than a year when external supplies are cut off. There are no complicated alleyways inside the fortress, because even the Imperial people who don't care much about human life will not send troops in stupidly. This is no different from pulling out nails with bare hands, and will only leave scars on their hands.
Faced with this situation, with a hammer, a saw and even a plane, how would a craftsman deal with the nails that cannot be pried open? Especially since the craftsman doesn't need to worry about what will happen to the board that holds the nails.
Of course that means smashing the board.
So in order to keep the board from being smashed, the nails must learn to withstand the hammer, or even jump out and poke the craftsman's hand.
"First-level combat readiness! First-level combat readiness!" The red light flashed in the fortress, and soldiers wearing gas masks rushed to their respective posts.
"Start the main generator and check the status of the fortress guns!"
"Inspection completed, lubricant filled, ready to raise the turret!"
The heavy artillery in the fortress that had not been moved for many years was rotating. It rose to the ground with the orbit and stopped five meters underground. The remaining five meters was a five-meter-thick steel block.
It's true that it can't stop earth-penetrating bombs, but the Imperials don't have a thousand earth-penetrating bombs.
But the Baath Army has 10,000 nuclear artillery shells.
With the cold wave comes not only severe winter, but also warnings of war.
