Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 535 Safety Factor

Lu Shaohua had read the information about the oil field and received reports from Li Zhijie and others, but he had never heard of a detailed report on the quantity of crude oil. It was not that Li Zhijie and others did not report, but the quantities were too messy and basically impossible to count at all times.

Come to think of it, with the vigorous development of oil fields, crude oil is often shipped to Africa and then stored in warehouses. The larger the batch, the larger the number, and the more messy the data becomes. Moreover, several years have passed, so it is normal that Lu Shaohua cannot come up with a figure.

Not to mention that Lu Shaohua couldn't count the countless numbers, even the three giants of the three bases including Li Zhijie couldn't count them for a while. Qian Qian couldn't utter a complete sentence after he mumbled for a long time.

"What's wrong? You don't know the quantity inside?" Lu Shaohua asked.

It is undeniable that, as Lu Shaohua said, Li Zhijie and the other three nodded at the same time, indicating that the number had not been counted.

Things have come to this, and Lu Shaohua has nothing to say. He sighed helplessly, shook his head, and said lightly, "It doesn't matter if the statistics are not available, but we have to hurry up, or send someone to do the statistics, so as not to mess it up."

Lu Shaohua’s idea was very simple. The data needed to be counted. As for when to count, Lu Shaohua didn’t care. It was not that he wanted to know the number, but he wanted to count the number well so that there would be no need to worry about chaos when the time came.

"I understand." Qian Qian responded. The crude oil warehouse was managed by Qian Qian, so he was responsible for counting the quantity, and it was also his job to answer.

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua nodded, and there was no further words. He left the crude oil warehouse and walked towards the secret base.

Today we have spent relatively little time. It has been less than an hour since Lu Shaohua got up. Seeing that it is so early, we have finished visiting the key part of the crude oil warehouse. Next, we should take a look at the situation inside the secret base according to the original plan.

Lu Shaohua planned to come to Africa for more than half a month, but only four days have passed now. In other words, Lu Shaohua still has more than ten or twenty days before exceeding the planned period, so he has plenty of time.

Of course, Lu Shaohua doesn't have to wait until the time is right to leave the African base. After all, he still has to go to Saudi Arabia to meet with their royal family. After finishing the base's affairs, Lu Shaohua will naturally leave.

What is the base? Apart from the oil plan and other basic information, Lu Shaohua has almost understood everything. Now all he needs to do is observe the secret military equipment manufacturing and research.

A few days ago, Lu Shaohua had a rough understanding of the situation inside the secret base through the information and Xie Jianwei, but now it is different. Lu Shaohua wants to see it carefully and clearly, and observe it with his own eyes, which can be regarded as a field investigation.

The secret base covers a very large area. After years of continuous construction, the secret base is now as big as a large village. It is no exaggeration to describe it as spacious.

"It's a pretty large area, right?" Lu Shaohua murmured to himself with a smile on his face, looking extremely satisfied.

Seeing Lu Shaohua satisfied, Xie Jianwei, who usually kept silent, couldn't help but smile and said, "It's already the limit. The entire piece of land we bought has been built. If the secret base wants to expand further, then the land above will have to be purchased from the government again to expand the area."

"Oh! Then buy it, just in case." At this point, Lu Shaohua paused and continued, "Besides, the governor of this state is one of ours, so buying more land is not a difficult matter, and money is not a problem."

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Xie Jianwei nodded heavily and agreed.

It is true that the secret base now occupies a large area and has enough space, but Lu Shaohua has a long-term vision. What is enough now does not mean it will be enough in the future. With development, the projects of the secret base will continue to increase, and the types of military technology research will also increase, and there will still be a lot of places that need space.

"Yes." Lu Shaohua gave Xie Jianwei an encouraging look and then asked, "What are the construction standards for the underground? Can it be missile-proof?"

The secret base was Lu Shaohua's plan. Back then, he sent Chen Guobang and ten people to the Soviet Union to build a network of relationships. It was only after a few years that they obtained the military technology. Later, they recruited many military talents and have achieved great results so far.

Technology and talent, both are very valuable, and neither one can be measured by value. What is more important is that Lu Shaohua spent nearly ten years to develop to where it is today. Nothing else could be more valuable than Lu Shaohua’s hard work.

"It was designed to defend against missiles, but that was back then, and missiles were not as powerful as they are now. So, the ones built before were probably good enough to defend against old missiles, but they might not be able to withstand advanced missiles." After saying that, Xie Jianwei paused, a little embarrassed, and after a long pause, he continued. "Well, the later designs are different. They are all designed to rely on the power of the most advanced missiles and can withstand the biggest attacks."

"Part of it is okay, but part of it is not?" Lu Shaohua asked with a frown.

"Yes." Xie Jianwei also realized the position of security issues in Lu Shaohua's mind. He did not dare to hide it and answered truthfully.

"Can the previous construction be reinforced?" Lu Shaohua asked tentatively.

The secret base was built underground. It was Lu Shaohua's hard work, so the safety factor must be the highest. Lu Shaohua must ensure its safety, and reinforcement is one way to do it. If reinforcement is not possible, Lu Shaohua doesn't mind letting Xie Jianwei tear it down and rebuild it, even if it costs more money. Lu Shaohua is willing to do so.

"We took this into consideration when we built it before, and it can be reinforced." Xie Jianwei was relieved now, and answered calmly, but after a while, Xie Jianwei frowned and said in embarrassment, "But the space is not big now, and there are many projects going on. If we want to reinforce it, we have to move away from that location, which may affect it."

Lu Shaohua finally realized that it was not that Xie Jianwei did not attach importance to safety issues, but that the reinforcement would affect the progress of the project, so the reinforcement was delayed.

This is a very serious problem and one that Lu Shaohua must pay attention to. However, once the reinforcement work starts, it will affect the progress of the project, which is not worth the loss. Lu Shaohua is therefore in a dilemma.

"Forget it, let's just delay it. Reinforcement, arrange the reinforcement immediately." Finally, Lu Shaohua made a conclusion.

On the surface, the base seems safe and sound, but who can foresee that there will not be missiles hitting here tomorrow?

Lu Shaohua was not sure that everything would be fine tomorrow. Well, even if everything would be fine tomorrow, what about the day after tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? Lu Shaohua could not guarantee that the base would be fine, so the reinforcement of the anti-missile defense must be carried out immediately, even if it slowed down the progress of the project.

The Tiger Roar Mercenary Group is now the world's number one mercenary group. It is well-known. As its reputation grows, it has also ascended to the altar. It is in the eye of the storm. There are countless people watching it. It can be said that there is danger at any time. Lu Shaohua has to consider this issue.

Even if the base is densely equipped with advanced missiles, it is still necessary to build an iron wall and add an extra protective talisman to achieve the effect of double insurance.

"By the way, the crude oil warehouse also needs to be reinforced. It would be best to add a ten-meter-thick steel plate, so that everything will be safe." Lu Shaohua did not forget to give another reminder at the end.

The secret base is important, but Lu Shaohua’s oil plan is equally important, especially the crude oil that has been transported from the Soviet Union with great effort over the years. That is the crystallization of the oil plan and also the result of Lu Shaohua’s hard work. Its safety is equally important.

"Add steel plates?" Xie Jianwei's eyes lit up.

"Well, if possible, add a ten-meter-thick steel plate, and the effect will definitely be that way." Lu Shaohua said confidently.

Lu Shaohua didn't know much about this, but he had lived two lives. In his previous life, bulletproof and nuclear bombproof equipment were all made of steel plates, and Lu Shaohua said this based on what he knew. Of course, he was not an expert in this area, so it was unknown whether he could add steel plates to the current ones.

Lu Shaohua is a layman in this area, and so is Xie Jianwei. However, this does not pose a problem for him. There are plenty of talented people in the base, including many experts in this field. He can just ask an expert and he will know the answer.

"This is a good idea, but I have to ask an expert to see if it can be added." Xie Jianwei said uncertainly.

"Try your best. If you can find a way to add it in, add it in." Lu Shaohua waved his hand and said.

It's true that adding steel plates was what Lu Shaohua recalled people's practices in their previous life, but it was not his memory that inspired Lu Shaohua, but Phoenix Car. He still remembered that the steel refining technology for the Phoenix Car's shell was brought over from Africa. As a result, the quality of the steel was excellent. If ten meters of good steel could be added, it would really be able to defend the car from destruction.

"Okay, I will go find some experts in this field to discuss and see if this problem can be solved." Xie Jianwei seemed a little anxious. After he finished speaking, he left and walked towards the main control room.

Lu Shaohua smiled at Xie Jianwei's departure and didn't blame him. He turned his head to look at Li Zhijie and asked, "You are also familiar with the secret base, right?"

"It's okay." Li Zhijie scratched and said.

What a joke. You have to know that the headquarters of the intelligence network is also in the secret base, which means that Li Zhijie's office is also in the secret base. How could he not be familiar with the secret base?

"Okay, then you lead the way and introduce me to the situation here." Lu Shaohua smiled and said lightly.

"it is good."

Following Li Zhijie's response, Lu Shaohua and his group's tour of the underground world officially began...
