Annihilation of the solar system

Next to the wide corridor covered with red carpet, Xia Jigang sat on the bench next to him. His fingers took turns tapping on the briefcase on his lap, making a weak "tacking" sound. He locked it tightly

He raised his eyebrows and focused his eyes on somewhere on the red carpet. He had remained motionless in this posture since he started studying his proposal in the conference room where they met in the hallway.

The door of the conference room opened, and Minister Zhong walked out with a stack of materials. Xia Tian Gang quickly stood up and greeted him. Minister Zhong handed the materials in his hand to Xia Gang and said:

"Dean Xia, the first plan you proposed has been approved. According to the leadership's instructions, your plan will be immediately handed over to the relevant departments for implementation. As for the additional plan you proposed, it has been decided to only implement the pilot plan in your plan.

That is the project code-named 813. Other contents in the plan have been put on hold for the time being."

Xia Gang looks anxious:

"Minister Zhong, does the additional plan only implement the 813 project? But that scale is far from enough..."

Before Xia Tian could finish speaking, Minister Zhong interrupted him:

"Dean Xia, the chiefs and leaders made the decision after full discussion. I understand your doubts. Although the industrial production capacity across the country is very strong now, we are fully capable of fully implementing the plan you proposed. Regarding this point

, the leader is still very positive about your investigation.

However, Dean Xia, you need to know that although the motivation of the entire additional plan is positive, the negative impacts it may bring are also very serious.

Therefore, the chiefs and leaders have carefully decided to implement the 813 project in the plan first. After the implementation is completed, based on the construction period, resource consumption, actual results and impact, etc., they will then decide whether to fully implement your additional plan.

"

Xia Jigang's tightened brows still didn't relax. He tried his best to control his tone:

"But, Minister Zhong, I'm afraid it will be too late before the entire plan is fully rolled out after the 813 project is completed!"

Minister Zhong said calmly:

"Dean Xia, we must trust the decision-making power of the chief and leaders. They must have fully considered such decisions when they make such decisions. You should implement them according to the instructions."

Xia Jigang nodded and raised no more objections. Minister Zhong said again:

"On some specific issues of the 813 Project, the leadership has given instructions in your plan. I am here to remind you of an issue that the director has repeatedly explained."

"Minister Zhong, please tell me."

"Project 813 will be implemented by you personally. During the entire project implementation process, absolute confidentiality must be maintained from you down. This is very important!"

"Yes, we must complete the mission!"

It was already midnight when Xia Jigang walked out of the antique building. He returned home and took out the stack of information that Minister Zhong had given him from his briefcase. He put the first half aside, which was the main content submitted today.

proposal.

The content is to build underground or semi-underground storage warehouses with certain protection capabilities across the country, mainly in suburbs and mountainous areas far away from cities. The storage contents are grain, vacuum vegetables and pure drinking water. The approval of this plan was expected by him.

Because this itself is part of the planetary defense plan, he just refined the content.

At this time, the supplementary plan that he held in front of him, filled with vermilion instructions, was the highlight of his original plan. He originally wanted to make a priceless speculation in politics, and proposed a plan that all the leaders were thinking about.

Due to various reasons, no plans were proposed.

If the additional plan he proposed is passed, he will reach a higher level politically. But the current situation makes him laugh and cry. The lengthy instructions and Minister Zhong's explanation seem to confirm that the leaders have a certain understanding of this plan.

Although he attaches great importance to it, he never expected that he would personally take charge of the implementation of the project.

He couldn't decide for the moment whether this was good or bad for him. Xia Jigang worriedly studied every character of the instructions, even the punctuation, hoping to find out some of the leader's true intentions. But what was certain was that he had to

Carry out the instructions of the central government.

As the night got deeper, his still charming wife came over. Seeing Xia Jigang with a melancholy look on his face, he asked:

"Lao Xia, why aren't you sleeping yet? Didn't your proposal pass?"

Xia Jigang rubbed his eyes and shook his head:

"It's hard to explain. Tomorrow I will leave for Guangling County, a mountain city, to serve as the commander-in-chief of the project."

The woman was shocked:

"You want to be the commander-in-chief of engineering? That's right! Then who will do the work of the Academy of Sciences?"

Xia Jigang let out a long sigh:

"This is what the central government means. Someone from the Academy of Sciences will temporarily come out to take charge of the work."

"How could this happen? How about I go find my father and let someone else go, and you continue to stay at the Academy of Sciences."

Xia Jigang shook his head:

"The Science and Technology Commission is so busy with work, so let's not make things more difficult for your father. Besides, it might be useless at all."

The couple fell into a long silence.

The next day, Xia Jigang's special plane landed at Jiangbei International Airport in Shancheng City. A military vehicle picked him up on the tarmac and drove him onto the highway to Guangling County. In addition to the driver and guards, there were also a large school delegation of the Construction Corps.

Xia Jigang was in a depressed mood and exhausted from staying up late, so he didn't speak except for normal greetings.

Soon after the car got off the highway, it came to a road surrounded by mountains and rivers. The colonel pointed to the hills and mountains nearby that were not too high and said:

"Mr. Xia, do you see anything different about these mountains?"

Xia Jigang glanced sideways at the uniform hills and mountains outside the window, but didn't see anything strange.

"Look carefully at these mountains to see if there are any chimneys!" the colonel pointed out the window with interest.

Xia Jigang took a closer look. Sure enough, on the lush green hills, there were many chimneys made of red bricks standing inexplicably. There were no buildings at the roots of those chimneys, as if they were drilled out of the ground. And there were several adjacent mountains.

They all had such chimneys. He suddenly realized that the location of the 813 Project that he had seen in the information might already be right in front of him.

"Is this the original site of the 813 Project?" Xia Jigang perked up.

"Yes, Mr. Xia. We are soldiers in Guangling County, so we know this place. Outsiders have no idea that this is the original site of the 813 Project, known as the Underground Nuclear Great Wall, in the 1980s.

One hundred thousand soldiers and civilians used steel pries and shovels to hollow out these mountains in ten years. Military reactors were built underneath to produce the plutonium-239 needed to make nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, due to various

The reason is, it was abandoned." The leader's words were full of admiration for the times.

Xia Jigang suddenly realized why the leader chose this place as the first place to implement his additional plan.

"I read in the order that our project codename this time is also called 813, which is the same as the original project codename!" the colonel said.

Xia Jigang nodded:

"It should be for reasons of confidentiality and not attracting attention."

"I see in the construction data that we are going to use the old site of Project 813 to continue to expand downwards. What exactly is this going to do?" the colonel asked.

Xia Jigang just said lightly:

"You also know the confidentiality level of the mission. If you shouldn't ask, don't ask."

The car arrived at the entrance of an arched tunnel that was mostly covered by shrubs and branches. An excavator had just opened a path here. This is the main entrance of the 813 underground project. The lights in the dark tunnel have been used for decades.

It was damaged. The dark tunnel seemed to lead all the way to the center of the earth.

In the following week, dozens of excavators, loaders, dump trucks, and three rows of state-of-the-art shield machines urgently transferred from transport planes, as well as thousands of soldiers and process technicians entered the site.

Dakou disappeared into this green mountain.
