One day later.

In a very secluded forest area in the western region.

Toot toot toot——

A military helicopter slowly landed on the helipad.

A moment later, Lin Ziming led Wei Fan out of the helicopter.

After nearly 24 hours of continuous scrutiny and transit, they finally arrived at this native cultivation base coded "Ju Mang".

And just as they disembarked.

The Director of the National Major Technical Equipment Office, Feng Xiaochen, who had been waiting here for a long time, quickly approached with another middle-aged man.

Director Feng had not dealt with Lin Ziming before; this was the first time they met, so Director Feng's expression appeared very formal.

He proactively extended his hand, his weathered face full of solemnity:

"Colonel Lin, Clan Leader Wei, hello, I am Feng Xiaochen from the Heavy Equipment Office."

Lin Ziming shook Director Feng's hand, moving it up and down:

"Director Feng, so honored, I've heard people mention countless times the 100-million-ton ethylene battle you led back then, which greatly boosted our national prestige, truly a remarkable feat!"

Hearing Lin Ziming mention his proudest 'achievement', Director Feng's face visibly showed some surprise, and his previously stern facial lines softened somewhat.

He showed a slightly bashful smile, waving his hand slightly embarrassed:

"Ah, a brave man doesn't boast of his past courage.

Compared to the grand undertaking we are now working on, not just a million tons of ethylene, even a billion tons are insignificant.

The ethylene project was successful, but it was merely laying an industrial groundwork.

If our cultivation project gains any results, it will benefit countless generations. Frankly, I am eager to see the day when everyone can access it."

Director Feng's first half-sentence was courteous, but the latter half was genuine.

Seeing the light in the eyes of this elderly man who had once made significant contributions to Huaxia's heavy industry, Lin Ziming pursed his lips and nodded firmly:

"Rest assured, that day will certainly come."

Director Feng patted Lin Ziming's shoulder appreciatively, everything was unsaid yet understood.

Then he turned and greeted Wei Fan, then pointed to the middle-aged man beside him:

"Colonel Lin, Clan Leader Wei, let me introduce you.

This is Manager Ou Shaoping, the general manager of Ju Mang Cultivation Base.

Issues regarding material deployment at the cultivation base will be under his charge, while I mainly oversee personnel-related issues."

Lin Ziming nodded knowingly, and together with Wei Fan, shook hands with Ou Shaoping successively.

After the introductions, under Director Feng's lead, the four of them headed into the base.

The entrance to the base was on the side of a mountain, and the main structure of the base was located inside the mountain.

Upon entering the base, Director Feng pointed upward first, explaining:

"The base is surrounded by dense forests, and additionally covered with special camouflage nets, hence the confidentiality level is very reliable."

Camouflage nets, these are standard defense items against satellite photography, and their history with satellites goes back decades.

Initially, remote-sensing satellites used visible-light imaging technology.

Thus, camouflage screens only needed to mimic green plants, which essentially avoided being photographed, usually seen as camouflage patterns.

However, today's remote-sensing satellites already possess invisible-light imaging technology, commonly used in military reconnaissance, near-infrared.

Near-infrared is unaffected by weather and day-night conditions, capable of reconnaissance without interruption, making ordinary camouflage nets ineffective.

Therefore, to simulate the near-infrared reflection characteristics of real green plants, the camouflage material must be coated with a military-specific near-infrared layer.

This coating is very valuable, and costs typically start from several hundred yuan per square meter, even thousands or tens of thousands in some cases.

Of course, the effect is quite remarkable too—the only drawback of expensive items is their cost.

After introducing the external situation, Director Feng continued to describe the internal layout of the base:

"Our Ju Mang Base's original purpose was a special energy storage center during the triple-line-depth strategy, which has maintained top-level secrecy and comprehensive protective measures.

Also, due to the need for pipeline use for energy transmission and storage, the internal wiring is very developed, which is conveniently used for spiritual energy transmission.

The base covers over forty acres, with three-quarters located inside the mountain.

Our base is the largest among the three initial cultivation bases, and naturally, it has the most personnel.

There are more than 24,000 warriors in total, among them, dual Spiritual Root holders account for 60% of the local dual Spiritual Root holders.

Considering the privacy of cultivation, we have allocated single rooms to each warrior to prevent cohabitation from affecting cultivation efficiency after class.

However, due to time and resource limitations, the single rooms are relatively small, only about eight square meters.

Additionally, the base has two large indoor activity spaces, three cafeterias, several basketball, soccer, and badminton courts, and so on.

As for the cultivation rooms, they are underground, including both individual and public cultivation areas, arranged according to each warrior's progress.

Warriors initially practice in the public cultivation areas, and upon reaching key points in their advancement, they may apply to break through in the cultivation rooms.

Compared to the public area, the cultivation rooms not only have L17 Spiritual Energy but also contain Spirit Gathering Array bought at high prices by the Fire Camp.

Therefore, their cultivation effect is much stronger."

After hearing this, Lin Ziming suddenly asked:

"Director Feng, with over 20,000 warriors suddenly being reassigned, won't their comrades have questions?"

This topic was mentioned before.

The core layer built three cultivation bases to prevent more than 50,000 warriors from being deployed to one specific area, thus catching unnecessary attention.

Now that the three bases are completed, warriors can arrive at the bases based on proximity.

Short routes, scattered personnel.

Naturally, it prevents drawing external attention.

But the external situation is one aspect, internally, it's another.

Comrades discovering familiar faces reassigned, nearby classes, or even entire squads gone, this will inevitably stir internal discussions.

Suppressing such voices blindly is inappropriate, how does the command solve this?

Note:

Thanks to the mysterious Alliance Leader Brook.

At present, this book has four Alliance Leaders, Ruo Yun has been tipped twice, requiring 5 additional releases = 15 chapters.

Chapters for June and July fulfill the extra releases for Alliance Leader Lai and certain Alliance Leader Yin, with four chapters added for Ruo Yun, thus leaving two chapters for Ruo Yun and three chapters for Brook, totaling five chapters.

Additionally, we owe 65 chapters for average subscriptions and monthly ticket additions, so why did I set a rule based on a hundred average subscriptions back then...
