Chapter 475: Arrive at the destination
5 min read1,237 words
Crossing the border between Kazakhstan and Lucia, which was considered
deserted even before the disaster, the train taken by Chen Xin and others
successfully arrived at the planned station on the border of Lucia.
However, as expected, they encountered the need to change the rails. Not only
that, this so-called station has already been completely buried by snow. To
complete the rail change operation, they must clear out two rails of different
widths. Needless to say, it is necessary to dig out the cranes used for rail-
changing operations, warehouses with wide-gauge wheels, and platforms from
under the snow.
Fortunately, this is not a problem for Chen Xin. He instructed the soldiers
accompanying the car to help clear out the two rails, and after finding the
wide-gauge wheels, they asked them to make a temporary barrier between the two
rails with a construction vehicle. .
Then Chen Xin let the train they were riding on to the wide-gauge track
through the barrier, and directly upgraded their train with the wide-gauge
wheels found by the soldiers.
With the upgrade of Chen Xindian, the distance between the wheels of the train
was widened to a suitable width, and the problem of track change was quickly
solved. There was no need for soldiers to dig out the crane on the side and
spend several hours. Come hoist the carriage onto the wide-gauge car road.
After completing the track change, they moved forward again.
Just after entering Lucia, the road is not as smooth as in the territory of
Yan Country and Kazakh.
The entire Siberia is covered with thick snow, coupled with the disaster
caused by the meteorite impact and unmanned maintenance after the disaster,
many railroad tracks here have been damaged, so that Chen Xin and the others
often need to go to repair a section. Shao Liqi had passed through the vast
snowy field and reached the destination they were going to.
This is the depths of the Great Forest of Siberia, a typical no-man’s land.
Before the disaster, there was no road leading here except for a secret
military railway that could lead to a secret military base in the depths of
the forest.
In order to isolate the unexpected situation, someone inadvertently stepped
into it and discovered the secret that Suvia had sealed.
Before being sealed up here, the Suvia built a small town here to serve the
soldiers and scientists in the military base. The town has a series of living
facilities such as stations, schools, and hospitals to protect the soldiers
and scientists living here. You can get all your living needs in a small town.
However, with the sealing of the military base, all the soldiers, scientists,
and staff who had lived in this small town have been evacuated. The small town
and the sealed military base have been sealed in this large forest of Siberia.
deep.
If it was before the disaster, the scenery here is still quite beautiful.
With all kinds of small town buildings from the Suvia era, the surrounding
lush virgin forests are covered with rolling hills, and there is a beautiful
small lake next to it.
It can be said that living here in the Cold War era, without the threat of war
and the hustle and bustle of big cities, life is extremely comfortable.
Of course, there may be fewer entertainment activities, but there were not too
many entertainment activities in that era, and a simpler life is actually not
a big problem.
But now, everything here has been covered by thick snow, and there is almost
no trace of human life.
"According to the information given by Lucia, our current location should be
the railway station. It is located to the west of the town. In the center of
the town is an office building. There is an underground passage leading to the
military base. The underground passage that connects to the office building
under the train station goes past.” The officer opened the town map provided
by the Lucias, pointed to the names in Russian on the map, and explained to
Chen Xin.
Chen Xin glanced at the map and found that he couldn't understand the Russian
text on it. He no longer paid attention to the map. He just said to the
officer: "Since you are in charge of the operation, then you can make up your
mind, but be careful. With such a sealed military base, it is difficult to
guarantee that when Suvia evacuated that year, no defensive measures were
left."
"Don't worry, we brought a dedicated EOD engineer this time. There will be no
problem." The officer nodded solemnly. He also took this into consideration,
so he not only brought the EOD engineer, but also let them wear it. On the
heavy-duty EOD mech specially developed by the military.
When Chen Xin saw two engineers appearing wearing EOD mechas, he couldn't help
but raised his eyebrows, and asked in surprise, "Is this modified with the
heavy mecha I designed?"
"Yes, after analyzing the heavy mecha designed by Academician Chen, the
military weapon experts designed several other models based on the heavy
mecha. This type of EOD is one of them, but it is still in the testing phase.
These two were also temporarily borrowed by us for this mission, and they can
be regarded as helping the design department to conduct actual combat
inspections.” The officer explained to Chen Xin, and at the same time, two
heavy EOD mechas were also dug into the area. Inside the opened train station,
a passage leading to the underground was found.
This can be regarded as a major feature of the architectural design of the
Suvia period. Underground passages for air defense were built underground.
In the past, this design was still very effective. Once an air strike is
encountered, ground personnel can hide in air-raid shelters and underground
passages to effectively resist the damage caused by air strikes.
It’s just that this design seems a bit tasteless nowadays. uukanshu.com After
all, the air-raid shelters under most civil buildings are not deep enough from
the ground. With the penetration of modern bombs, hiding in such old-fashioned
underground passages or air-raid shelters is likely to be directly buried by
the collapsed soil layer. Understand.
Of course, civilian buildings generally have a low chance of getting big
bombs. If it is just ordinary shelling or bombing, the buildings on the ground
may be flattened, but the people underground still have a chance to survive.
After the two heavy-duty EOD mechas entered the underground passage, the
explosives left over from the Suvia era were unsurprisingly discovered.
This can be regarded as a routine operation. After all, it is an important
military base that is sealed up here. It is normal to leave a little security
measures for such civilian facilities connected to the base to prevent people
from sneaking in.
But in the end they are all left over from decades ago. Many layout methods
and corresponding elimination methods have long been known. With the help of
the EOD mecha, two EOD engineers quickly dismantled them. The explosives
allowed other soldiers and staff behind to enter the underground passage
smoothly.
After passing through the town along the underground passage, they walked a
little further before reaching the destination of this journey, a secret
military base that had been sealed in Suvia for more than half a century.
