On December 25, Christmas day in the West, Jiang Dong took a special train from Peking to the Hengkongshu Engineering Base on the Gobi Desert outside the Great Wall.

The accompanying personnel included Tang Yun, Director of the Secretariat, Xie Chengrui, Chief of General Staff, and Song Li, Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

The outside of the fortress has been covered with ice and snow, and the cold wind is like a wail of ghosts, always accompanying the travelers ahead.

The research base of the Heng Kong Birth Project is top-secret, and there are a large number of special forces and security forces distributed around it.

This is one of the places with the tightest security in the entire country.

After getting off the train and getting in the car, everyone remained silent.

As one of the few people with knowledge of the project, everyone knows the great impact that the Turnout Project has had on the entire country and even the entire world.

Jiang Dong also looked silently at the ice and snow outside the window, his eyes deep and reserved, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking at this moment.

The convoy successfully passed through the outer cordon and entered the core of the base.

Under Jiangdong's deliberate care and arrangements, although the Hengkongsheng base was built on the Gobi Desert outside the Great Wall, the living conditions, working conditions and scientific research equipment of the research people were provided with the best possible conditions.

The interior of the base is brightly lit, and a warm atmosphere blows into your face.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Dong nodded with satisfaction.

The total number of scientific researchers involved in this project exceeds 150,000, and this research base outside the Great Wall is the core of the project, with 60,000 people working here every day and night.

It has become a small city here.

Because Zhongxia has mastered the world's most advanced radar early warning technology and the most advanced high-altitude reconnaissance technology, there is no need to worry about enemies seeing abnormalities in this place from the sky.

This is only the largest research base of the Turnout Project, and there are nearly a hundred other bases distributed throughout the country and overseas.

It can be said that the entire country's power is leaning towards this project, and Jiangdong has high hopes.

The last time I came here, the detonation test was successful and the artillery battle entered the final stage of production and manufacturing.

Although Jiangdong hopes to see the research results of the Hengkongju Project put into effect on the battlefield, he also knows that scientific research is difficult and cannot be achieved overnight.

He has been patiently waiting for the day when Longyin's new world will come.

The motorcade stopped in front of a very ordinary small building, and Jiang Dong led Xie Chengrui and Song Li straight into the building.

After entering the building, I walked around and around, and finally took a specially marked elevator to the underground.

They will go to the core of the Turnout Project.

The underground world is far broader than Song Li and Xie Chengrui imagined. There are security guards everywhere, every door requires access control, and researchers wearing scientific research uniforms can be seen everywhere.

The overall facilities here give people a feeling of being particularly advanced and beyond the times.

Jiang Dong just smiled slightly, as if he had seen some mysterious scenes in the movie.

From the places we pass, we can see that the research base is getting better and better and more complete.

Xie Chengrui and Song Li tried their best to control themselves not to look around, but their breathing that they suppressed became slightly rapid, and their heart beats involuntarily accelerated.

Scientific researchers passed by in a hurry, everyone seemed to have something to busy themselves with.

Outside, wherever the three of them pass must be heavily guarded, and they must attract the attention and eyes of countless people.

But the sense of presence here is greatly reduced, and no one casts a curious look.

After walking for about two minutes, the three of them were taken into a room that was not particularly spacious. Judging from the furnishings, this should be a place specially used for meeting and receiving guests.

Everything is very new, and it probably hasn't been used much before Jiangdong and the others arrived.

After waiting in the room for a short time, Lu Guanghua, chief engineer of Hengkongsheng Engineering, finally appeared in front of Jiang Dong.

He was still wearing the clothes of a scientific researcher. It was obvious that even though he had known that Jiangdong would come to inspect today, he still did not abandon the work at hand.

"Professor Lu, it can be seen that the lives of researchers have been greatly improved. I hope you can better carry out scientific research in the new environment."

Jiang Dong smiled and shook hands with Lu Guanghua.

Lu Guanghua was a little excited, or rather caught off guard.

Although he doesn't care about political matters, he also knows that Jiangdong's status is very different now.

In my heart, I am even more grateful and praising Jiangdong for his contribution to the entire nation.

After a long while, he responded with some embarrassment:

Tadu Novel app has more high-quality free novels, and you can read them online for free without ads!

"The Prime Minister and the government attach great importance to those of us who do research and spare no effort to provide us with the best material living conditions. We are grateful and work harder to devote ourselves to research."

It can be seen that he looked a little awkward when he said these words, and he was obviously not used to it.

Such a simple greeting is enough. Jiangdong is most concerned about the research progress of the cannonball.

Lu Guanghua personally poured tea for the three of them and then began to report.

"After the detonation test was successful, the biggest problem we faced was the shortage of manufacturing materials."

When talking about professional matters, Lu Guanghua didn't stutter at all.

"Currently we have two large secret factories across the country that are working hard to produce the required materials. However, due to the special nature, we cannot provide sufficient manufacturing materials at once."

Jiang Dong flipped through the documents that Lu Guanghua brought that were marked as top secret, but the contents of the documents were very obscure and he could understand very little.

Lu Guanghua picked up the key points of his report. After he finished speaking, Jiang Dong found that although Xie Chengrui and Song Li looked very attentive and serious, their eyes were equally blank.

He simply put down the documents in his hand and asked directly:

"Can we make a test bomb with the materials we have?"

Although the detonation test was successful, Jiangdong still wanted to see with his own eyes the rising mushroom cloud that covered half of the sky.

Lu Guanghua nodded:

"The production and assembly of the test bomb has entered the final stage, and the test can be carried out in up to 20 days."

"We are already looking for suitable trial sites."

Jiang Dong pondered for a moment and then asked:

"If the test is successful, how many large artillery pieces can we produce in a short period of time?"

Lu Guanghua lowered his head and thought deeply, as if he was doing mental calculations. After two or three minutes, he said:

"There are at most two that can be used for live ammunition, and the size basically meets the design requirements."

"After producing these three pieces, the materials on hand are almost exhausted, and it will take at least three months to produce new ones."

Jiang Dong hummed and paced around the room with his hands behind his back. No one knew what he was thinking.

Soon after, he sat back in his seat and asked:

"Where are you going to conduct the test explosion?"

Lu Guanghua did not hide anything and replied:

"At present, a desert outside Yumen Pass has been selected. It is uninhabited, so even if it is polluted, the impact will not be big."

Jiang Dong frowned slightly and said:

"I probably know the location of that place, but..."

"I think it's better not to do this kind of business on your own land."

As if he understood Jiang Dong's thoughts, Song Li hurriedly took out a map hanging on the wall nearby.

Jiangdong looked in the direction of the Indian Ocean and said:

The first release of this book: Tadu Novel App - free, no ads, no pop-ups, and you can interact with book friends.

"There are many small islands and areas in the Indian Ocean controlled by our navy. Those islands have dense vegetation and traces of human life. As long as some military equipment is transported to them, an isolated testing ground will appear."

Although there are people living on the island, these are not problems in the face of strong military strength.

"Is this...appropriate?"

Lu Guanghua was a little excited. After all, much more test data was obtained in such a test site than in the desert.

Jiang Dong glanced at Song Li, smiled and said:

"It doesn't matter whether it's suitable or not. Anyway, those places have extremely low use value. It's their luck to use them for test explosions. They just isolate them after they are contaminated."

Song Li stood up and said:

"Professor Lu, I will immediately select 3 to 5 test islands after I return. I hope you can send someone to investigate and select the final test site."

"The Military Intelligence Bureau will fully cooperate with the subsequent work and strive to prepare the test site as soon as possible."
