Chapter 242: Project 717 (1)

Just like a dormant giant beast, when it doesn't move, everyone can't feel its terribleness. However, when the giant beast opens its eyes, even if it just trembles slightly, the power it brings can make people feel its terribleness. After Lu Yuan had to give up dealing with the alien corpse away, time was still passing, and four or five hours passed in a flash.

Looking to the west from the small mountains in Donghai City, thousands of kilometers away, southwest of Haibei Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, the endless mountains are the most common scenery in this area, and seeing too much is really tiring.

Along a winding road below the mountains, an off-road vehicle was slowly driving on the road. Looking left and right, there was no other car except this endless road. Originally, Qinghai Province was sparsely populated, not to mention that in this remote area, there was no one except the wild donkeys and antelope that happened to pass by.

It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. As the sun was approaching, the orange sun was floating and hanging in the west, sprinkling a large area of ​​golden gauze for the entire wasteland. The boundless wasteland seemed particularly shocking under such a unique beautiful scenery. This is a scene that can be photographed as wallpaper at any angle, pure and without any trace of exhaustion.

After going around a bend, the off-road vehicle suddenly entered the gap between the two mountains. On both sides of the canyon, which was about hundreds of meters wide, there were suddenly dense wire and prickly bushes. It was obviously artificially repaired, which made it look like a barbed wall at this moment many years later. Even if it was a mouse, it would have to fall down.

"Military restricted areas are prohibited!"

I don’t know if the eye-catching signs were inserted on the roadside many years ago. Some of the large red characters have been painted off. The words that were barely identified were placed on this shaky sign. It makes people worry that the next moment, with a strong wind, will fall to the ground completely and will no longer be used to warn visitors.

Ignore this sign. The off-road vehicle is unobstructed and "swish" passing by the sign, continuing along the open road, the canyon, and quickly drive forward.

I drove about a kilometer forward, which was obviously a sign that had only been inserted in recent years. I stood brand new on the right side of the road, and watched every passing vehicle.

"Military restricted areas are prohibited!"

Compared to the signboards that have been around for many years, it is obvious that the deterrent power brought by this new signboard is greatly increased. Each of the big words painted with red paint is not surprising to see if they are separated separately, but together they produce a fearful invisible power.

Just two kilometers behind this sign, barbed wire, high walls, high voltage electricity, and sentries suddenly appeared in front of you. Sentinels wearing military coats and holding bayonets were looking vigilantly at the off-road vehicle driving. The surrounding sentry pressed their hands on the sirens, ready to fire the alarm at any time.

In fact, four cameras are installed on both sides of the gate. Even if the sentry doesn't have time to press the alarm, the guards on standby in the monitoring room will fire the alarm.

Stand at attention and salute!

The sentry saluted at the stopping off-road vehicle, then walked over and shouted, "Please show your ID."

The driver in the driver's seat handed over the ID, the sentry took it and looked carefully, then inserted the ID into the plastic box in his hand and handed it in, "Please press the fingerprint."

This time, he was no longer a driver. The man sitting in the passenger seat took the box casually. He pressed his right thumb and heard a "ding" sound, and the words "pass" appeared on the display screen of the box.

"Hello, Chief."

The sentry saluted again and nodded to the people behind. The gate that blocked the road slowly opened to both sides, allowing the off-road vehicle to pass through.

It is basically the same as the general military camp. In this canyon, three-story and four-story buildings and military camps stand on the open space, with straight roads connected all over the place, including office buildings and training grounds. Rows of soldiers patrol by, with steel guns on their backs and eyes fixed on their faces, with extremely serious expressions.

Without stopping, the man in the passenger seat signaled to continue moving forward and directly reached the end of the base along the middle road.

That is the end of the canyon, and it is also a mountain at the foot of a high mountain.

When you get here, the inspection you need to face has been upgraded by two levels.

Not only did the driver need to get out of the car and search all over his body, but the man in the passenger seat was not spared. He was searched with a metal detector and confirmed that the two of them did not carry any communication tools, and then there was a military sightseeing car waiting here, which led the two into the hydraulic metal gate.

That's right, whenever he comes here once, he can't help but sigh at the power of those warriors back then, and is also shocked by the passionate years.

At present, outsiders think that the Fuling 816 underground nuclear project is the "world's first artificial cave body". The underground nuclear project in Chongqing started construction in 1967. By the time the construction was stopped in 1984, 85% of the construction projects were completed. The total length of the 816 underground nuclear project is 21 kilometers, with 18 caves of large and small sizes. The excavated stone volume is as high as 1.51 million cubic meters, and almost the entire mountain has been hollowed out.

However, the underground nuclear project of Chongqing Fuling 816 is only a part of the state's public decryption. Until 2002, it was still a top-secret project.

But the man knew that compared to the nuclear engineering base he was about to step into, the 816 underground nuclear engineering is just a slight witch.

The Qinghai 717 underground nuclear project began to be built in 1965, two years earlier than the 816 nuclear project and was not completed until 1986. During the construction of this project, even during that special decade, many places were panicked, and the construction and maintenance work here had not stopped. The central government allocated a total of 2 billion yuan, which was nearly three times that of the 816 project.

The 816 Project mobilized 60,000 troops, but tens of thousands of people were sacrificed due to landslides, fatigue, dust, and accidents. The men didn’t know how many people were sacrificed for the 717 Project, but he knew one thing. The number of people mobilized was specially approved by Prime Minister Enlai, who mobilized two frontier troops, and more than 100,000 people were built.

Especially in that era, 2 billion yuan was allocated, and the amount was astronomical. It was not that the top leaders of the country attached great importance to it. It would definitely not continue. It is still a top-secret project until now.

Now, except for a few retired cadres in the central government who quickly stepped into the coffin and participated in the mission that year, even the seventh core ruling in the current ruling, not everyone is qualified to know this 717 underground nuclear engineering base.

He drove nearly thirty kilometers in the cave dug out of the mountain belly. It took more than an hour to finally finish the journey. The man breathed a sigh of relief and stared at the metal gate in front of him.

The door that weighs more than fifty tons and must be opened with hydraulic devices takes three minutes to open. Fortunately, it does not require all openings to accommodate a few people. They waited for a while, and after being informed by the person, the door was lifted for a short period of time and allowed them to enter.

When the 717 underground nuclear project was initially built, it was only one of the inconspicuous ones among the hundreds of nuclear bases in China. However, the reason why it became the top secret project is not because of how important research there is here.

In fact, the man can still remember seven years ago, when he first came here and saw that thing, the shock he suffered had a huge impact on his entire outlook on life and world, so that he could not recover from that shock for more than a month.

Therefore, after the 717 underground nuclear project was discovered in the early stage of construction, it immediately became a top-secret project that only a few people could know, and its importance was far greater than other nuclear projects.

It is also because of this that the original purpose of underground nuclear engineering construction has changed greatly, and many functional facilities have to be overturned and started over again, so that the appearance of this place has changed drastically, and the construction period has been delayed for ten years before it is completed.
