Chapter 579: Fog. Frog in the Well
"There is a way, but I'll think about it carefully for a day. It's better to keep the nuclear bomb with you." Nie Shaoyan said bluntly, "I heard from Captain Shangguan about the situation outside. The location of this base has been exposed, and Beijing is also in turmoil. I don't know how many eyes will be watching us in the future."
Chu An felt that he had not finished the second half of the sentence, which was about those former great powers.
"But the stuff is here with me, what will you do when you need it?" She didn't want to use it either, but was just afraid of the unexpected. "I can't deliver it too far away."
Nie Shaoyan smiled and said, "This is why I want you to come down. I want to hand over all the nuclear warehouses and the entire launch process to you."
Chu An was shocked for three seconds and didn't know what to say.
Nie Shaoyan comforted him, "Don't be afraid, kid. It's actually very easy to operate. Simply put, just point and hit wherever you want."
But it is obviously not that simple. The base has a total of 110 nuclear warheads, accounting for one tenth of the total. Of these more than 100, half can be equipped on heavy bombers, and the rest can be launched on intercontinental ballistic, medium-range and short-range routes. The most challenging part is the launch device.
The nuclear test base has launch silos and mobile launch vehicles, which are not located inside the base, but near the camp where they often patrol. There are also two types of positioning: starlight guidance and satellite navigation.
Starlight guidance uses stars as references, and uses the position and angle changes of stars as references during flight, and then controls the angle through rapid calculations, constantly corrects, and accurately strikes. Satellites use satellite positioning systems, and for this she also obtained the right to use a high-orbit satellite.
"Xiao An, the normal process of launching a nuclear bomb is roughly transportation, erection, and launch. It's not complicated at all. Because of your special ability, you can save a lot of time..."
Chu An's idea of leaving at night was completely disrupted. She studied for four days in a row, with only time to eat lunch at noon, but some things were still beyond her control. The next day, she dispersed her mental power and asked Wang Ce, Shen Xun, and Grandma Xia to join. Guo Changren and Grandpa Gao only stayed for a few minutes before going to farm.
After 96 hours of intensive study, Chu An felt like a frog in a well for the first time. Even Wang Ce, a real academic master, kept taking notes. Fortunately, they only needed to learn the basics and could just follow the instructions.
The only thing that comforted Chu An was that with this high-orbit satellite that was not affected, she could build her own communication system and no longer worry about not being able to contact her friends.
Chu An rubbed her sore neck and left the negative twenty-seventh floor, feeling like she had seen the light of day again. She had never expected that after her rebirth, she would be beaten to tears by knowledge.
She took the elevator to the first floor and had already informed the others to pack up. Shangguan Hongxin wanted her to stay for a day, but she didn't agree. Almost everyone in the base had woken up, and more people meant more things to do, so it was not suitable for them to stay any longer.
When Lao Chu and the others saw her, they surrounded her and asked about her well-being. Chu An pushed the crowd aside, looked at Gu Ye who was grinning at her, and silently added him to the list of the nuclear missile launch study group.
The superficial knowledge she had learned in the past four days was not enough to deal with emergencies. In the next six months, she would keep in touch with General Nie and ensure that she studied for three hours every day. She also left space stones in various important places for easy positioning.
Shangguan Hongxin did not come up to see her off. Everyone in the base had woken up, and it was time for them to close the door to the negative twenty-fourth floor.
…
Song Yunfei had recovered well in the past few days. He went up to the first floor in a wheelchair and came to see him off in person. Han Xing said that he could have recovered better, but after learning that Shangguan Hongxin and Captain Li were helping the refugees, he sustained new internal injuries.
"I really hope you can stay a few more days." Song Yunfei said.
"Aren't you afraid that we'll make you hungry?" Lao Chu joked. They weren't hungry at all during these days.
"Xiao An saved the entire base, how can a few meals offset that? If you choose to stay, I will provide you with full meals every day."
He was not stupid. Although Chu An did not know what he was doing underground these days, it was for the base. And the Ulandu venom that Shangguan Hongxin gave him did not seem to be their own.
"Thanks, Director Song." Mou Ci said, "But we really have to go. See you later."
Mou Ci was appointed as the temporary person in charge, exercising the powers of the director. These days, everyone calls him Director Song.
"Captain Han, arrange for someone to help them move their things." Song Yunfei instructed, and Han Xing immediately arranged for someone to help them move their things. However, the car had not arrived yet, so they could only take the things to the door.
Each of Lao Chu and the others had two large packages at their feet. Han Xing's gift was also delivered, which was a brightly colored tiger skin. Chu An liked it very much and kept touching it.
While moving the luggage, Song Yunfei came to Chu An and said, "When I return to Beijing, you can come to Beijing City and I will treat you well."
Not likely, but who can say for sure.
Chu An stood up and asked, "Aren't you the director? Why do you want to go back?"
"I am only in charge temporarily. A new director will be sent here later. No, it's not called director anymore. This is now the Ilian Base. The person who came is the new base commander. You know that person."
Chu An was curious, "Who?"
Song Yunfei smiled lightly, "Tang Chen."
Is it such a coincidence? But her face instantly turned cold. She never said she knew Tang Chen, so how did he know?
"Sorry, I didn't mean to investigate you." Seeing her cold face, Song Yunfei hurriedly explained, "Your behavior is too eye-catching, I have to be on guard."
Chu An's expression eased. As the saying goes, like father, like son, it is true. He just hoped that he could keep his conscience. "I am not familiar with him. I have only met him once."
"It doesn't matter how many times we've met, what matters is that we remember each other." Song Yunfei said, "If you hadn't come to Beijing, I'm afraid we would have only met once, but I will remember it for the rest of my life."
Chu An didn't want to talk about himself anymore, so he brought the topic back to Tang Chen. "He is the acting mayor of City C. If he comes here, wouldn't that mean he's been demoted?"
"There's nothing we can do about it. His position in City C conflicts with that of the base commander. The higher-ups think he's a talent, so they assigned him here. This place will be expanded in the future, and it will be built into a military stronghold. They won't treat him unfairly."
That's not bad.
Beep beep—a car horn sounded outside.
Chu An turned his head and saw through the first-floor glass a military truck parked at the door of the first floor. Han Xing immediately ordered his men to put the luggage on the car.
This was one of the rewards she provided for Ulandu. The others had been sent to the outer camp, the one she liked.
Everyone got on the car, and He Jingze and Wang Siyu finally decided to stay at the nuclear test base. However, knowing that Tang Chen would come, Wang Guan no longer hesitated. From now on, this will be the base of allies, and they will prosper and develop together!
The military truck is very spacious, with a tarpaulin at the back to block the sun and a fan inside, so it isn't that stuffy.
According to Mou Ci, this truck is the latest high-mobility tactical truck, with an inline 6-cylinder diesel engine, a displacement of 8.6 liters, a maximum power of 350 horsepower, and a maximum speed of 120 kilometers per hour. It also has an enhanced off-road mode and anti-electromagnetic interference and waterproof capabilities.
