Chapter 395 - 395 Professor Fang
395 Professor Fang
He extended his palm and rolled his eyes a few times.
Before long, the device displayed its results.
“Visitor Wu Mo’s information has been entered. Fingerprint and iris matches are 100%.”
Following a mechanical sound, Wu Mo heard a click, and the explosion-proof door before him opened.
“Come with me,” he said subconsciously and walked in without hesitation.
The explosion-proof door quickly closed behind him. Due to the dim light ahead, it took Wu Mo a while to get used to his surroundings and see what was in front of him clearly.
A stone pillar that was several meters in diameter and more than 10 meters tall appeared before him.
There were spiral stairs winding around the stone pillar.
The walls of the fourth central building were made of compressed earth, which was extremely st.u.r.dy against all kinds of explosive shock waves.
‘Looks like the Super Loop is down there.’
Hearing some gradually disappearing footsteps, Wu Mo looked a little excited and immediately walked downstairs.
He had only taken a few steps when the explosion-proof door behind him opened again.
The sudden appearance of the light made Wu Mo subconsciously narrow his eyes.
Right then, he saw that many photos of old people were hanging on the compressed earth walls around him. The old people in the photos were all in high spirits, and many shiny medals were pinned on the chest of their uniforms.
Obviously, these old men who were supposed to be enjoying their old age were the first batch of blacksmiths who had developed the Super Loop.
It was clear from the weathered stone steps alone.
Although the Super Loop operation and maintenance center was decorated in a technological style, one could clearly feel that it was rather old and simple.
The staff there probably did not renovate the place because they wanted everyone who used the Super Loop to remember the first generation of developers.
After all, it had always been a fine tradition of the Nine Provinces to not forget the people who had dug the well.
Wu Mo looked at the old men with respect, then quickened his pace down the spiral stairs.
After walking in the dark spiral staircase area for more than 10 seconds, he saw light at the bottom. Guan Hu, Lone Wolf, and the other cultivators who had entered earlier were standing in front of the door that projected the light. They seemed to be talking to the staff inside.
“I didn’t expect there to be something else underneath the central building. Such a huge nuclear defense fortification must have consumed the efforts of many people!”
Looking at the semi-circular military base beyond the gate, Guan Hu sighed internally and revealed a shocked expression.
Displayed before everyone was the Super Loop Research and Development Base, which had been secretly built by the military 30 years ago.
The underground base covered an area of about 10,000 square meters, and its width was equivalent to the size of 1.5 football fields. Anyone besides a staff member who worked there all year round would not be able to find the exit in a short period of time.
The underground fortifications included caverns, roads, pilot tunnels, branch tunnels, and other areas. There was a central control room, an operation and maintenance hall, a dispatch room, and so on.
Back then, to ensure the normal development of the Super Loop, many safety measures were taken in its construction.
They set up a water diversion tunnel, instrument testing site, exhaust air filtering system, and etc. to ensure the safety of the place as much as possible.
In addition to the signal blockage and the existence of the underground power plant, no one knew that the Super Loop’s top secret research and development plan was being carried out there in silence. The higher-ups in the military and the workers involved in the construction were the only exceptions.
Looking at the grand scene before him, as well as the cutting-edge technology and core equipment that was kept from the public, Wu Mo took a deep breath.
The others who rushed over from behind had been discussing whether it was reasonable to install an identification instrument at the entrance of the structure.
Chen Qingbai’s voice was the most prominent.
However, once the young blacksmiths entered the door, their gazes were immediately attracted by the grand scene.
They had originally thought that the underground operation site was only about 1,000 square meters and was just a building similar to a bomb shelter.
They never thought that the underground structure would take up such a large area that they could not see the end of it.
The top view of the underground fortifications next to the gate was like a spider web, covering tens of thousands of square meters!
“Gasp…The scale of this Super Loop operation base is actually so huge!”
Xu Wanqing’s eyes widened in shock.
Chen Qingbai was standing nearby, and his face turned red as if he could not digest the information he had received.
Gan Yun and Liu Ze, who were walking at the back, were not as surprised as Xu Wanqing, but they were also speechless for a moment.
They just looked at everything in front of them with a dazed expression.
“After so many years, I didn’t think that this underground fortification would still be so magnificent. It seems that you guys have put in a lot of effort to maintain this place!”
Guan Hu looked around and praised.
“To be able to accommodate so many people and secretly transport the daily supplies and materials on top of maintaining the anti-nuclear and anti-shock properties, I have to say that the skills of those forging masters are truly admirable!”
Wen Yuan placed his hands behind his back and appeared somewhat moved.
The White River province’s forging technology and modern science were clearly more advanced now, but after so many years, no organization had yet to build a base with comprehensive features that surpa.s.sed the Super Loop Research and Development Base.
Just from this point alone, one could see the reason why White River’s international ranking had been continuously falling over the past few decades.
Conditions were clearly better, and people were more open.
However, the White River province had lost master blacksmiths who were willing to sacrifice their lives for the country and constantly improve their abilities like decades ago.
“Thank you for your praise. This Super Loop underground structure contains the painstaking efforts of several dozen master blacksmiths. It also represents the development of the country. We’re not doing anything too complex. ”
Just as everyone was immersed in the history of the city, a handsome middle-aged man in a gray uniform walked out of the crowd.
“Professor Fang!”
“Professor Fang, you’re here!”
After the middle-aged man appeared, the staff members who were originally serving Wu Mo and the others immediately retreated to the side and greeted him with longing expressions.
“Yes, today is the day of the Super Loop’s launch. As the head of operations, how can I not be there? ” the man called Professor Fang said with a smile.
Then he instantly looked at the young blacksmiths standing behind the cultivators, and his expression immediately changed.
“It looks like the blacksmiths invited to the exchange conference this year are all very skilled.”
He swept his gaze across the few of them and spoke with a smile.
Hearing Professor Fang’s words, Wu Mo raised his eyebrows and looked a little surprised.
What surprised him was that Professor Fang could sense their approximate strength with just a glance.
However, what surprised him even more was that in such an important organization like the Super Loop, the head was actually a man who seemed to be in his 40s.
