Chapter 696 The Necessary Sacrifice

General Valeria Passinkova put her hands behind her back, held her chest high, her feet shoulder-width apart, and even though she was the only one in the elevator, she still maintained a meticulous military stance.

Before entering the elevator, you need to swipe your ID card first, and then pass through a wheeled revolving door to ensure that only one person can enter the elevator once you swipe the card. The elevator will automatically weigh the total weight of the occupants, and the weight of each ID card owner is recorded in the According to the case, there is a margin of error of a few kilograms to prevent invisible passengers from mixing into the elevator.

Compared with Yulang, this kind of prevention method is more scientific, but Yulang is not a stupid method, it can only be said to be adapted to local conditions. After all, there are so many drinkers coming and going, it is impossible to record everyone's weight.

The elevator stopped smoothly, and the moment the elevator door opened, a wide underground space appeared in front of her eyes.

"General."

"General."

Everyone who saw her nodded politely, and she nodded back.

The layout of this floor is like a huge underground command center. Almost everyone wears white coats over their military uniforms. The upper large and small monitor screens depict professional images of meteorology, geology, etc. On this floor Those who are busy are all high-achieving students who graduated from military academies, and they are all scientific workers with military ranks.

"General." A male officer walked over with a stack of reports, saluted first and then reported.

"The latest data on the underground lava activity of the Kamchatka Peninsula from the Military Topographic Surveying Bureau of the General Staff has been received and entered into the computer. This is a summary, please have a look."

General Pasinkova took over the report. Although it was already a summary, it was still as thick as more than a dozen pages of A4 paper. It contained technical terms and data that ordinary people could not understand and were not interested in. don't know.

She carefully flipped through each page, her eyes swept over the data and terminology, she was not pretending to read, but was really reading, she could understand the data, because she has presided over research in this field for at least several years It's time.

Turning to the last page, she handed back the report and said, "Good job, let's see what kind of answers the computer can get based on the latest data. The people from the Bureau of Surveying and Mapping have already evacuated?"

The officer took the report and replied: "Yes. The people from the Bureau of Surveying and Mapping spent more than 20 days in the field of ice and snow, and finally waited for the right time to use the seismic waves formed by a volcanic activity to obtain key data on crustal stress. One fell off a glacier and went missing, and another suffered severe frostbite and may need amputation..."

General Pasinkova nodded, "For the strength of the motherland, this is a necessary sacrifice, and the country will not treat them badly. Find the families of the dead and injured, and in addition to the pensions and disability benefits they deserve, use the No. 43 independent Send them a sum of money in the name of the scientific workstation, and then divide my salary for this month into two and send them to them separately. I must ensure that the family members of the deceased and the injured can live a decent life for the rest of their lives, and will not be stranded on the Red Square. Go up and sell their military medals to make a living."

"General, this..."

"Needless to say, this is an order."

"Yes!"

The officer’s eyes were moist, and he saluted again, and turned around to do what the general ordered. It was precisely because the general was so magnanimous and loving, even to two strangers who had never met before, that he won his subordinates’ allegiance to the death, because everyone knew , even if he died on the battlefield, the general can properly arrange their funeral, and after today's news spreads, everyone's admiration for the general will rise to a new level, even if everyone never understands why the general treats them The crustal and volcanic activities of the Kamchatka Peninsula continued to invest such a high amount of manpower and material resources, as long as the general ordered it, they would execute it without compromise.

General Pasinkova's heart remained calm, neither feeling sorry for her one month's salary, nor regretting the result of one death and one injury.

Money is a matter outside the body, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all provided by the state, she has no place to use money, and casualties... As she said just now, this is a necessary sacrifice, and there is nothing to regret.

The data from the Military Topographic Surveying Bureau has been entered into the computer, and the supercomputer is working at full capacity. These valuable new data will fill in the previous gaps, correct the original mistakes, and give them a clearer understanding of the geological structure of the Kamchatka Peninsula.

On the largest screen in the central area, according to the results output by the supercomputer, the underground three-dimensional graphics of the Kamchatka Peninsula are being drawn. In addition to the contours made of lines, there are also blue-green underground water systems and orange-red underground water systems. Lava, gray layers of solid granite and black veins of metal, and some unknown geological structures filled with gridlines - thanks to the efforts of the Bureau of Surveying and Mapping, the network of linear unknown areas is gradually decreasing.

If you want to build a deep underground structure, the limitations of drilling holes are too great, especially in this kind of area where underground lava is everywhere. The best way is to use seismic waves. Different degrees of reflection are produced to detect the stratum. Of course, in places where there is no earthquake, artificial blasting can only be used to emit infrasonic waves. However, seismic waves originate from the ground, and it is good to cooperate with the artificial blasting on the surface. The artificial blasting on the surface alone is almost meaningless, and the accuracy is much worse.

They are far behind the world's advanced level in the field of supercomputers. It will take a long time to calculate and describe the image of the entire peninsula. General Pasinkova does not intend to wait and enter the elevator again. Descending deeper.

The elevator stopped again, and when the elevator door opened, there was a subtle difference between the scene in front of me and the upper floor.

First of all, this floor is full of women, divided into officers and civilians in white coats; second, there are very few computers on this floor, not all of them, but the number is much smaller than the previous floor.

Compared with the open space on the previous floor, this floor is divided into several areas, and each area is composed of many compartments.

General Pasinkova strolled over to the nearest compartment and looked in through the one-way glass.

There were three people in the compartment, two female officers in white coats, and a civilian girl was sitting across the table across from them. A video camera was standing beside the table, faithfully recording the process.

This civilian girl is only about eleven or twelve years old, between girls and girls. She is wearing a set of soft and comfortable pure cotton clothes and cotton slippers. She has a pretty face, but she is a little thin and malnourished. thin.

Her expression was obviously cowardly, her eyes moved uneasily over the faces of the two female officers, her hands and feet seemed to not know where to put them, and she kept changing postures and positions.

"General, you are here." A female officer outside the compartment noticed General Pasinkova's arrival and rushed over to greet her.

"Newcomer?" General Pasinkova didn't look at the female officer, but still stared intently at the civilian girl in the compartment.

"Yes, her name is Darya Marikina, she is from Serbia, her parents died in the war, she was one of the girls we intercepted from the smuggler's smuggling boat, otherwise she and the rest of the girls should be Somewhere in North America or Western Europe, she has been treated as a prostitute by rich people." The female officer introduced, "She has been here for half a month, and she has not fully adapted, and sometimes she would wake up in the middle of the night and cry."

General Pasinkova’s heart is still calm. The situation introduced by the female officer is quite common. Most of the newcomers here come from war-torn and poor countries in Eastern Europe. What awaits them is either being ruined by local men, or Whether it was being raped by foreign men, or starving to death or freezing to death in the middle of the night, the chance of meeting a kind person is very rare.

"How is she doing?" General Pasinkova asked.

"It may be due to mental instability, so I don't have any amazing qualities at present." The female officer replied.

General Pasinkova glanced at her sideways, "The mental state is unstable. It is a difficulty, but it is also an opportunity."

With that said, she pushed the door open and walked in.

When the two female officers in the compartment saw the general coming, they quickly stood up and saluted.

After General Pasinkova returned the salute, she sat down in front of Marikina, looked straight into the girl's eyes, and said, "Are you afraid?"

Marikina was so panicked that her hands were covered with cold sweat. She didn't know the rank of the military, but she could tell that the woman in full military uniform in front of her was definitely a big shot, just being stared at by her was like facing a lion.

She couldn't even speak, swallowing her saliva desperately, trying to nod her head.

"It's right to be afraid, but you shouldn't be afraid of us. What you should be afraid of is going back to your past life." General Pasinkova said blankly: "I tell you the truth, we don't need cowardly and cowardly people." People, if you can't muster up the courage to prove that you are worth to the country, we can only deport you as a refugee, and you will go back to the original country, continue the original nightmare, and then life or death is none of our business."

Marikina shuddered all over, and she could see that General Pasinkova was not threatening.

"On the contrary, if you can prove yourself, at least prove your courage, you have a chance to stay and become a member of us. This is your only chance to change your destiny." General Pasinkova slowed down her tone, "I think Put on my uniform?"

Marikina's gaze moved from the general's face to the general's military uniform. This military uniform is so straight and handsome, like armor in mythology, which can turn into steel and resist all vicious attacks.

"Whatever is on your mind, don't nod or shake your head, say it out loud," said the general.

Marikina bit her lips tightly, and said with red eyes, "I think."

"Well, prove it to me now."
