They are all people who love freedom and don't like constraints, but real soldiers are very strict in all aspects. Jiang Ning doesn't think the four of them can adapt.
The idea of joining the army was proposed by Zhang Chao. He explained: "Aning, the natural disasters have continued until now, and they are becoming more cruel and unpredictable. We are lucky to survive the sandstorm, but what about the next time?"
They are unable to resist natural disasters on their own and can only rely on the country.
There are not only technology and national defense here, but also a lot of powerful equipment to resist natural disasters. If they obey the country and follow the command, their chances of survival will be higher.
As expected of a salesperson, he always thinks more comprehensively than others.
Thinking that they all had a place to stay, Jiang Ning felt extremely relieved from the bottom of his heart and hoped that they would all be fine.
She asked curiously, "Are there different branches of the military when you join the army?"
"The base is divided into the Army and the Navy. We belong to the Navy's submarine group."
"You can also learn to drive a submarine?" Jiang Ning pretended to be surprised. "Submarines are not easy to make. There were only a handful of them in our country before the natural disaster. How come they are so common now?
I took a quick look at the central lobby last night and it seemed like submarines could still be traded. Is this true or false?"
Several people looked at each other, and Zhang Chao smiled and explained: "This submarine is not that submarine. It is specially designed to deal with possible plate collisions in the future."
Jiang Ning's jaw dropped in shock. "Tectonic plates collide?"
Lu Yu and the others only heard about it when they arrived at the base. Just thinking about it is creepy. There is simply no way for humans to survive.
However, the four were lucky enough to pass the assessment and join the army. Everything was decided by the country. If they couldn't even resist the whole country's strength, it would be useless for them to be afraid.
After I figured it out, I wasn’t so scared anymore.
Lu Yu comforted her, "Aning, you don't have to worry too much. The base has been thinking of countermeasures for a long time. The reason why we can become submariners is one of the plans to fight against plate collisions."
Just when he was worried about not being able to find anyone to ask, Jiang Ning suddenly became interested. "What plan are you going to implement? Can you tell me?"
This is already an open secret, and no one in the army doesn't know it.
Lu Yu and others did not hide anything. "The base has a port and a shipyard, and is now working at full capacity to produce submarines."
Jiang Ning frowned. "Submarines can travel through the underwater world, but if a plate collision really occurs, the ocean will experience severe earthquakes and tsunamis, and submarines will have no way to withstand it."
Once the parts are damaged, it will still be life-threatening.
However, Lu Yu was very confident, "They are not only submarines, but also hibernation chambers..."
This is a new type of submarine. When encountering an irresistible marine disaster, the engine and other equipment can be retracted into the cabin and the submarine will drift with the waves.
The inner cabin has a shock-absorbing design, and the oxygen packs and food can be supplied for half a year. The outer shell material is extremely hard and will not be damaged even if it hits a reef or is attacked by marine life.
Jiang Ning was thoughtful. "Since the new submarine is so powerful, why do we need to escape on land if everyone can just escape in the submarine?"
Lu Yu explained, "A submarine can only carry 10 people, and the entire base has more than 200,000 people. Not to mention the production capacity of the shipyard, special rare metals are needed just to build submarines."
It has been nine years since the end of the world, and even if the whole country worked together, it would be impossible to ensure a smooth supply, not to mention that a lot of materials require rare metals.
Warships, ships, airplanes, land escape vehicles...
The scavengers have made outstanding contributions to the base's current size. For the sake of survival or rescue, they risked their lives to travel from city to city and found many special materials.
As natural disasters continued to cause destruction, materials became increasingly difficult to find. Not only could scavengers not find any, even the military could not gain much.
Jiang Ning was suspicious. "Since they are short of materials, why do they still want to sell submarines?"
"Of course it's to encourage scavengers to do everything they can to find them. Otherwise, the points for scarce materials wouldn't have skyrocketed so much."
But Jiang Ning always felt something was wrong. "Building a submarine consumes a lot of materials and manpower, but in the end it can only carry 10 people to escape. Isn't it too wasteful?"
A few people looked at each other, and Zhang Chao smiled and solved the mystery, "The base cost so much to build a submarine, it is impossible that it is just to carry humans to escape."
At the Fire Seed Base, everything we do is for the sake of inheritance.
In addition to the inheritance of life, there is naturally civilization and technology.
Let’s put it this way, a submarine is a large engine that, in addition to carrying humans to escape, also needs to carry giant storage boxes.
Zhang Chao compared it to a tractor, "It's like a tractor pulling a container forward."
The containers may be loaded with books, antique paintings and calligraphy, seeds and grains, clothes and leather, medical equipment, precision machinery, etc., collectively known as the products of human civilization.
If the natural disaster ends, these civilizations are sufficient to allow humans to recover or develop quickly.
However, the base always puts humans first. The containers and submarines will be riveted into the sea. If an irresistible disaster occurs, the soldiers can consider disconnecting the rivets and escaping on their own.
The container is made of special materials that can withstand tsunamis and earthquakes. No matter whether it is the sea or the fields, the device inside is designed to ensure that the items will not be destroyed within 20 years, and it will also continuously send out signals.
The military or high-ranking officials have signal receivers. If a disaster is over one day, they can use the signal receivers to dig up or salvage containers and use these containers to restore human civilization.
After hearing this, Jiang Ning couldn't calm down for a long time.
I didn’t expect that the military would make so many preparations based on the “prophecy letter”; perhaps this is the whole country’s effort.
Now, as giant containers are built one after another, cultural products from all over the country will be delivered to the military base in South China.
As far as Zhang Chao and others know, there are 3,000 containers alone, and each is about 400 cubic meters.
These statistics are astonishing enough for ordinary people, but they are a drop in the bucket for the country's civilized products.
There is only so much they can do for future generations.
In the two months since entering the military base, Zhang Chao and his companions would inquire about the situation every two days, hoping that Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen would show up.
God helps those who work hard, they finally arrived safely.
"Aning, what are your plans for the future with Brother Shen?"
Jiang Ning didn't hesitate, "Maybe I'll be a scavenger."
Lu Yu was stunned. "You and Brother Shen are so skilled, so it's definitely no problem for you to join the army. If you become scavengers, not to mention the difficulty of survival, if a plate collision really happens in the future, you can only follow the base's arrangements and choose to escape from the land."
