At around nine o'clock in the evening, everyone finally arrived at their destination. They saw a stone wall more than ten meters high surrounding the base, covered with dense undercuts and glass, which shimmered under the light of the motorcade's car lights.
Looking at the map in the plan, you can only feel the vastness of the base when you get closer. In the dark night, you can't even see the ends of the city wall at a glance.
After Liu Feiyang parked the car, Chen Yuanyuan saw several people coming out of the base to talk to the Pan Zhaofa brothers and representatives of the research institute.
Although Chen Yuanyuan could not see their expressions, they shook hands and hugged each other. From their body movements, it was not difficult to guess that the base personnel warmly welcomed their arrival.
After a long day of boating and driving, everyone felt physically and mentally exhausted. Although Grandma He took a nap and her symptoms of motion sickness were slightly relieved, she didn't look too good.
Chen Yuanyuan took out a few large meat buns from the space and asked everyone to heal their stomachs first. While they were eating, Pan Zhaoli's voice came from the intercom.
"I have good news for everyone. We have been arranged to stay in a hotel at the base for one night tonight instead of sleeping in the car. We will wait for the office hours tomorrow to go through the settlement procedures for us one by one. However, since we have not settled in yet, For the time being, you can only enter as a visitor. Except for some valuable belongings, other luggage must be left in the car to wait for security inspection tomorrow. Please pack it as soon as possible and wait for arrangements.”
Chen Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Although the RV can have three beds in total, which is enough for five people to rest, there is always a certain degree of danger in the outdoors. It is also a good arrangement to be able to advance to the base.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, Locke came over and knocked on the window of the RV.
"Sister-in-law, you've been waiting for a long time, thank you for your hard work!" Locke said with a smile.
"Eh? Are you here too?" Chen Yuanyuan never noticed Locke's figure along the way, thinking he was still in Xiangcheng.
"I came here last week, have you packed up?" Locke said.
"It's all ready. Have we registered?" Chen Yuanyuan saw two teams lining up in the distance, and it seemed that they were starting to make arrangements to get in.
"Hey, I found a staff member to register for you first." Pan Zhaoli said with a wink.
"Not bad, not bad. I'll cook a meal for you after you move in." Chen Yuanyuan said with a smile.
Under Locke's arrangement, Chen Yuanyuan and his party quickly entered with their visitor cards.
The bright yellow visitor card is as big as an ID card. There is a QR code and a series of numbers printed on the card, and a small chip is embedded on the left side of the other side.
After crossing the city wall, you still have to swipe your card to enter the visitor area, which also has a five-meter-high low wall.
After arriving at the hotel, although it is not a magnificent decoration, it still looks clean and tidy. It may be a new building, which has improved a lot compared to the previous life.
Although the base specially arranged free accommodation for those who just arrived today, they still upgraded their rooms at Locke's insistence.
After Locke picked up the visitor cards of several people, he walked to the front desk.
"Mr. Luo, after deducting several base allowances, you can upgrade to three business rooms for a total of 60 points." The waiter at the front desk said.
"Okay." Locke slapped his ID card on the cash register and paid the points after a beep.
Chen Yuanyuan looked at this operation and felt it was quite similar to a bus card.
After Locke arranged rooms for several people in the hotel, they sat on the stools in the lobby and talked.
"Your card can only be used in the visitor area now. After you log in tomorrow and get the resident card, I will take you in for a walk." Locke said after distributing the card back to them.
"Okay, I'll call you when it's ready." Chen Yuanyuan said.
"There is no need for a satellite phone. There is Internet access within the base. Remember to apply for a phone card after you apply for the resident card tomorrow. Just add me as a friend then." Locke asked them to take a photo of the QR code on their resident card.
The design of the resident card is similar to that of the visitor card, except that the color is light green and the name and ID number are printed on the card.
"Wow, there is an Internet? That's great!" Zhang Linlin said happily.
"It's just a regional network. You can't receive it if you leave about five hundred meters away from the base. Then install an application on your mobile phone. In addition to daily contact, base announcements and some daily affairs will also be convenient to handle." Locke said.
"It all feels perfect, much better than expected." He Yuehua sighed.
I originally thought it would be like the Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong, with a dense cluster of houses. I didn’t expect that in addition to the complete planning of the entire city, even the system infrastructure was also very securely arranged.
"As early as the beginning of the apocalypse, the military and military families, plus some management personnel, began to move in last year. Although the base has not yet been announced to the public, nearly ten thousand people now live in the base." Locke explained.
Although Chen Yuanyuan also knew that the base in the previous life also covered the Internet, she did not expect that it would be arranged as soon as she came to this life.
Everything was going so smoothly that I didn't even feel like I was in the last days.
"How many people can the base accommodate?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.
"If we only count one period, 300,000 people is the ideal situation, but the upper limit is estimated to be able to accommodate 450,000 people." Locke said.
Chen Yuanyuan remembered that the second phase of the map was still being expanded and the planned third phase. If added, it might be able to accommodate nearly 600,000 to 700,000 people.
After Locke left, several people checked in directly with their visitor cards.
After Chen Yuanyuan entered the room, the visitor card was inserted into the power slot, and the entire room was powered on.
Although it is a business room, the room is only fifteen square meters in size and contains a large bed and desk.
After Chen Yuanyuan turned on the heater, she entered the bathroom to wash up.
Unexpectedly, the hotel also had hot water supply, so Chen Yuanyuan took out a bathtub and prepared to fill it with water and take a bath.
Although there is hot water in the space, the wool does not turn white or turn white.
Unexpectedly, the hot water stopped after about seven or eight minutes. It seemed that there was a limit.
Chen Yuanyuan looked at the not-full bathtub and sighed, then she entered the space with the bucket.
When Chen Yuanyuan finished washing and lay down on the bed, it was almost ten o'clock. Although the hotel bed was not as soft and comfortable as the one at home, Chen Yuanyuan felt sleepy when she lay down after a long journey.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly remembered that Shen Yichen had not been informed that they had moved to the Guangdong base. Chen Yuanyuan took out the satellite phone from the space and made a call to Shen Yichen's new number.
After a busy sound, the call was transferred to the voicemail.
The message briefly stated that it had been transferred to the Guangdong base, and then hung up the phone.
Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Although she hadn't called many times, this was the first time she couldn't get through to Shen Yichen, and she also felt a little worried.
Originally, I wanted to call Gu Zhiming, but after thinking about it for fear of affecting their work, I took back the call, closed my eyes and prepared to rest.
