Looking out from the car window, the scene I saw can only be described in one word: "Desolate!"

It was indeed desolate, with the ground full of gravel and gravel, as if you were coming to the Gobi Desert. Looking around, you could see the yellow yellow in your eyes, and there was no other color. Not to mention living trees, even dead trees could not be seen. The car was shaking on the road covered with sand and stones, and the people were very uncomfortable.

"Captain, look, this is what Steel Town originally looked like. At that time, the ancestors of Steel Town made great contributions to the country, but they had to live in a small shack." Zheng Quan smiled, and could see that his mood should have been much better. A sense of joy was revealed between his eyebrows. It was supposed that the old mother's condition had improved. He paused. He continued: "Later, the Steel Head also moved here. The country slapped the policy preferentially and supported the employees of the steel mill to build a new home. However, at that time, the country had no money and didn't even give a big son! It was purely because we built our own new home and supported our own efforts."

There was an unconcealed pride in his eyebrows: "The entire Iron Town was like this before his eyes, full of gravel, gravel, nothing was long, and even more desolate than the Gobi Desert. The ancestors forced to build a city on it, haha, this spirit really made us ashamed. Our Iron Town has no soil, and the soil for the construction of the city was carried back from the Purification County in the distance. This earth-back project alone lasted for three years!"

Zheng Quan has a very deep understanding of Steel Town. He told him a few strange stories, which made Li Yeling feel very interesting, at least it could relieve boredom a little.

The car walked forward for another kilometer, and Zheng Quan pointed to a place outside the car window and said, "Captain, there is the steel factory, where is the foundation of our steel town."

Li Yeling looked in the direction he pointed at, and only saw a large white tall building complex about three or four kilometers away. There was a completely steel forest, countless towers standing, blast furnaces and steel frames standing there, with a strict weather. Looking at that look, the area here is not smaller than that of the Iron Town.

Zheng Quan continued: "This is the foundation of our Steel Town, and it is the location of Ningbei Chonggang. Before the end of the world, the iron ore output here reached 57 million tons and the steel output reached 37 million tons. It accounts for almost 15% of the steel output of the entire Republic. It is a well-deserved leading steel enterprise in the Republic. Its ranking is also a number of steel town enterprises around the world! If there were no steel plants, who would know the steel town!"

Li Yeling looked at the steel forest in the distance, and felt excited.

This is Ningbei Chonggang. As long as it occupies this place and occupies almost endless steel production, the largest steel plant in China, it means that a steady stream of steel ingots, countless guns and ammunition, and mass-produced arms will all flow into one's own hands.

The steel industry will always be the pillar industry of the national economy and a cornerstone for the development of heavy industry and military industry! Without the steel industry and the support of a large amount of steel and coal, it is just empty talk to talk about development. If Li Yeling wants to develop himself and build a strong force, the development of steel is undoubtedly the top priority.

This steel factory is also a wealth given to him by God, and he must not give up. Li Yeling thought to himself.

After passing the steel plant, I walked two kilometers further and was about to reach the ground, but I could no longer drive here, so I could only get off and walk.

After getting off the car, Li Yeling looked at it and saw that the ground was still gravel and gravel, with scattered gravels on it, and the pieces were not very small, not like the kind that was deliberately crushed, but like it fell down when quarrying on the mountain.

The surroundings are desolate. From here, it looks like a gentle slope. About a thousand meters in front of you, a cliff towering into the clouds penetrates straight into the sky.

Li Yeling knew that the towering stone wall was the back wall of Steel Town. It was precisely because of the existence of this stone wall that Steel Town had no worries and could wholeheartedly defend against the enemies in front. For them, the rear was as solid as a god!

Zheng Quan fulfilled his ability as a guide very well. While walking forward with Li Yeling, he explained: "After the town was established, it became a quarry. However, five years ago, the high-quality stone here was also brightened, and nothing could be collected from behind, so it was abandoned. The current quarry."

Zheng Quan pointed to the direction of the steel plant: "It's right behind the steel plant, about five or six kilometers away from it."

Li Yeling nodded, and the two of them walked forward while talking, and soon they passed through the pile of rocks.

After walking around from a huge rock of more than two people, it was wide open in front of me.

In front of me was the towering stone wall. This towering stone wall with a height of more than 2,000 meters, straight up and down, with a slope of more than 90 degrees, was like a giant sword that penetrated the sky, reaching the sky. It was still snowing, and the snowflakes were floating, and the vision was relatively poor. With Li Yeling's strong eyesight, he could not see clearly the top of the cliff.

In front of me was a stone slope about five or six hundred meters long and about forty degrees. The stone slope was bumpy and had obvious traces of mining.

At the end of the stone slope, there is a large hole with a height of 100 meters, like a huge mouth.

The entrance of the cave is a triangle, very tall and spacious, and you can even see the scene inside clearly from here. The space of the entire cave is the highest at the entrance. Further inside, the height must be reduced a little. Under the pure white mountain wall, a large black mouth is opened, like a demon who chooses people to eat.

"Let's go up and take a look." Just now, Li Yeling is already quite satisfied with this cave. The cave he wants is just the type with a large mouth and a slightly shorter inside, which is often called a big mouth and a small belly. Although he wants to move into the cave, he doesn't live in the cave. He is just kidding, wouldn't he become a person from the top of the cave and get back the more he lives!

Li Yeling’s idea was to build a castle based on the mountains. Rest in the big cave, flatten the potholes, and smooth the four walls and ceiling with stones and reinforced concrete, making it clean and tidy. Half of this castle is in the cave, such as the lounge, arsenal, hall, and other more important places, of course, are inside the cave. The tower with the most prominent height of the castle and the conference hall at the highest point are the city lord’s mansion. They just completely built the huge entrance, so that the specific situation of the castle cannot be seen outside.

Of course, there are still some that need to be outside the cave, such as training grounds, kitchens, etc.

This purpose is of course to prevent bombing. In fact, with the obstruction of the mountain wall, the castle exposed outside is not worth worrying. The bombing trajectory of most shells is in an arc, that is, if he wants to bomb a certain place, he must ensure that the air in the air directly in front of the place is because the shells have to pass here.

Due to the blockage of the vertical cliff 90 degrees above, it is much more difficult to choose the landing point of the shell. Even if the part exposed outside is only a very small chance to be blown up!

This idea comes from the introduction of a German castle that Li Yeling saw before. The magnificent castle was also built in a cave. It has been built for hundreds of years and has never been broken through after more than a thousand battles.

This is just a preliminary plan by Li Yeling. His big fight is certainly not just to build such a castle. The steep mountain wall behind the castle is the low point for his second plan to implement. Once the power is huge and the manpower is widespread in the future, the cliff behind him can be built into a comprehensive three-dimensional ground-to-air fortress.

Think about it, a cliff that is thousands of meters high is covered with large and small surface-to-air missiles, anti-missile systems, anti-aircraft artillery, long-range heavy artillery, and the entire mountain is like an extremely huge steel hedgehog, which can't be bitten at all! No one can conquer it, this is the real imperfection!

Of course, this is just an idea. If you really want to realize it, it will happen a long time later.

Now, it is more wise to do what is in front of you.

The two walked up the stone slope. Li Yeling carefully observed the material of the stone slope along the way and found that it was the very hard granite, which was very suitable for building materials. A large part of the materials used to build the castle must be taken locally, and Li Yeling had to exchange part of it from the item store, which was almost the same.

The inclined length of the stone slope is about 500 meters, and the slope is forty degrees. This means that the vertical height of the stone slope is about 100 meters, which is already a considerable drop.

At the end of the stone slope is a square-shaped stone platform that is 100 meters long and wide. This was once the location of the quarry. You can still see some traces left on the ground. Some decayed wooden shelves and pit stone eyes on the ground must have been used to install explosives.

Standing on this stone platform, looking at the way you come, you can already look down at the entire Steel Town. From here, all the scenes of Steel Town are vivid in your mind. The city walls in the heavy snow, the sentries as small as ants on the city walls, and the lake in the center of the city are already covered with ice, like a huge white gem.

It has been snowing heavily for a few days, and the whole city has been sealed off. From a distance, it looks plain white and particularly beautiful.

Li Yeling thought to himself that this cave not only meets his own requirements in terms of size and area, but also has a very superior terrain. From here, you can observe the entire Steel Town and even the scene on the Great Wilderness in front of Steel Town, which can be said to be a small view of all the mountains.

If you have to say something about the disadvantage, it may be that the transportation is not very developed. If you want to go out, you must go out from the front door of the Steel Town, because the left and right sides are all tall stone walls. But this is also impossible. How can you take advantage of everything? If you think about it slowly in the future, you can always find the solution.

After entering the cave, it was like walking into the mouth of an ancient giant beast.

It is worthy of a natural stone cave. The cave is rugged with rugged rocks and different shapes. Some of them look like the figures, birds and beasts. They are very similar and can be called a magical craftsmanship. However, what Li Yeling wants is a flat and large stone cave, which must be removed in the future. The cave surface is large, and it is more than 500 meters from the entrance to the bottom. The width is about the same. Although the inner area is large, the entrance of the cave is very large, so the lighting is very good. You can see the deepest part at a glance from the entrance. The height of the cave is quite satisfactory. The mouth is big and the belly is small. Basically, the highest at the entrance to the entrance is 100 meters. Then the inside, the lower the height is, and it falls in a gentle state. When it reaches the deepest part of the cave, it is almost only about fifty meters.

Li Yeling walked into the cave first, and the bottom of his feet was also rugged. The two walked into the cave and truly entered the cave. Only when they could deeply experience the magnificence of nature. In this huge space that can accommodate nearly dozens of floors of high-rise buildings, the two were as insignificant as ants. Looking up, it was endless pressure.

When he walked to the bottom of the cave, he could already hear the sound of water, and Li Yeling could already feel a abundant stream of water vapor.

Zheng Quandang first led to the right and said, "From this forward, there is an underground river. Let's go and take a look?"

Li Yeling had a little doubt in his heart and said, "Okay, take me there!"

The deepest part of the bottom of the cave is close to the stone wall on the right. It is a huge stone cave, and it should be said that the rock crack is more appropriate. The rock crack runs from the bottom of the cave and passes through the top of the cave. It is very high and has a width of ten meters. Since it happens to be a blind spot in the perspective and is hidden in a shadow, I didn't see it at the entrance of the cave just now.

The crevices of the rock were very wide, and the two of them walked in it, and their footsteps were gimmicking, making a hollow sound.

The more he walked inside, the more Li Yeling could feel the abundant water vapor.

Finally, after walking more than a hundred meters inside, and then turning to the left, Li Yeling felt the extremely full of water vapor! Such abundant water vapor directly hit his body, nourishing every pore in his body, giving him an extremely comfortable feeling!

When he arrived here, the light outside could not shine in. The light was already very dim and black. Only bursts of roaring water could be heard in his ears, but even with Li Yeling's eyesight, he could not see anything clearly. He could only speak by hearing. The sound of water must be the sound of the underground river. I don't know how wide and long the river is, and how abundant the water is. This feeling is like being by a big river. But Li Yeling knew that this was just an illusion, because the underground river was in a closed underground space, the sound of water was greatly amplified. In fact, the real sound may not be very large.

Knowing that he was coming here, Zheng Quan had already prepared. He took out a large firer and fumbled on the cave wall for a few times. Then a little light appeared in the darkness. Immediately afterwards, the light became bigger and brighter, and then a little fire appeared on one side of the light. This fire line extended to the distance and lit up another ball of light.

Soon, dozens of balls of light appeared on the cave wall, illuminating the space.

When Li Yeling saw that there were more than a dozen eternal lamps installed on the wall of the cave, there were still some oil inside, and there was a fire channel in the middle. Zheng Quan explained: "When this was a quarry, it was a problem to get water. Later, the mountain exploded and the cave was discovered and the underground river was found. It was appropriate. The leaders of the quarry were very happy at that time. However, it was too far from the city below, and the phone bill was too expensive to pull the wires, so they could only install an oil lamp."
