According to underwater robot detection, a large hole was blasted into the 30-meter-thick concrete above the base by a "ray weapon".
However, the supporting structure collapsed, and the original large hole was filled with silt.
Every corner of the entire underground base has been submerged by the lake.
This surprised Liu Kai again.
The only current entrance is an underwater pipe that leads directly into the research base.
It was originally designed for water collection.
However, considering factors such as water pressure and intrusion prevention, etc.
The pipe is not vertically downward, but has many bends and branches.
From the pipeline to the water storage chamber, and then to the chamber where the "ray weapon" was stored.
The optimal route has been planned in advance to avoid areas prone to further collapse.
All the sealed doors and security doors in the middle were also cut and dismantled.
The entire 320-meter route was unobstructed.
The pipe is only 2 meters wide at its widest point and 1.5 meters wide at its narrowest.
The "ray weapon" is cylindrical in shape, with a diameter of 1.4 meters and a length of 3 meters.
This size is just right for it to be dragged through the pipe, albeit with difficulty.
However.
Because the weapon weighs 13.5 tons, the pipes are curved and have limited dimensions.
High-powered lifting machinery cannot be installed, nor can pulleys be used to drag it from the outside.
Furthermore, this ray weapon is a prototype under development, and there is only one of its kind in the world.
The authorities did not dare to disassemble it and transport it out in pieces.
at present.
The only option is to retrieve the bodies of internal personnel, storage equipment, and critical documents in advance.
Divers are installing small electric motors and cables inside the pipe to assist in the salvage operation.
Speaking of which...
The technician also handed Liu Kai a strange object the size of a large Coke bottle.
This is an underwater inflatable balloon. When inflated, it has a diameter of 1.5 meters and can be reused multiple times.
Providing buoyancy can also serve as an auxiliary tool for transporting weapons within pipelines.
Liu Kai's task was to transport the weapon to the entrance of the cave at the bottom of the lake.
It was then lifted up by a crane on the ice.
