Chapter 718 Return to the Research Center
After Chen Xin resumed the operation of the high-speed rail station, it became a very important material channel for the Dongting Lake War Zone.
Because the railway station in the city was too close to Dongting Lake, it had been marked as a war zone at that time. Although the front line was later promoted and that area was built into a defense line, considering the safety of material transportation, the railway station in the city was still abandoned and the high-speed rail station was expanded to meet the needs of material distribution in the war zone.
The high-speed rail station, which originally had only three platforms, has now been expanded to seven platforms, which can accommodate twelve trains entering the station and loading and unloading goods at the same time, which played a very important role in the previous war.
After all, this is the closest place to Junshan Island. During the war, it was also one of the main battlefields of the Dongting Lake War Zone. It consumed a lot of ammunition and other materials every day. These materials rely entirely on this railway station for supply and transportation, which really played a very important role.
However, now that the war is over, the train station, which was originally very busy every day, is now much deserted, so when people from the scientific research department under Chen Xin took the train to the station, they were the only train on the platform.
"I really didn't expect that we were so embarrassed at the beginning, and now we still have a day to come back." The researcher, who sat in the car, through the thick double-glazed windows, experienced the scene when he was evacuating, couldn't help but feel the tidy platform outside.
The companion sitting next to him was transferred to this research department and had not experienced the evacuation two years ago. He immediately asked curiously: "Did our research center be here before?"
"Yes, our previous research center is here, it is a big place, almost one-tenth of the Dome New Town today." The researcher introduced the situation to his companions, and his face was full of pride: "The conditions at our research center were really good at the beginning. Not only did it have its own ecological planting greenhouse and small dome, but also an energy tower specially built for the scientific research center, which is responsible for heating and powering the scientific research center.
In addition, there was a special force stationed directly outside the scientific research center to be responsible for security issues. If it were not for the invasion of alien organisms, a railway would have been built specifically to the scientific research center...
Alas, it’s not like now. The research center doesn’t even have enough experimental sites. Several project teams have to take turns using the laboratory! Fortunately, Academician Chen took back the original place, and we were able to move it back too!"
Hearing the researcher say this, his companion showed a surprised expression on his face.
Although he knew that the scientific research center led by Chen Xin had a very important position before being transferred to this department, he did not expect that they would have such an exaggerated treatment two years ago.
This made him ask curiously: "You were treated so well at the time. Why didn't you even have enough test sites after you arrived in Xincheng? Our center should be very important to the country, right? Aren't land ships, mobile bases, Titans and so on all developed by our center?"
"The main reason is that Academician Chen stayed in Europe for a whole year last year!" Speaking of this, the researcher suddenly looked melancholy: "Because the highest person in charge of the department is not here, our research progress has been much slower, and a lot of work is backlogged. After all, Director Tang is only a management position, and she can't make decisions for Academician Chen for many things, so many things are delayed."
Because Chen Xin went to Europe, Tang Tang was responsible for the management of the research center when he was away. However, Tang Tang was not at the level of the rank, so many problems could only be reported to the top. As for how the top approved her, she could not interfere.
Chen Xin is different because of his different identities. Many things that Tang Tang needs to negotiate or even argue with the superior department over and over again. Chen Xin can use his own authority to directly determine it.
So this led to the fact that Chen Xin had delayed the expansion of the office location of the research center in Xincheng for a year, until he returned and the battle was over, and the matter was not settled.
But now I don’t have to consider the expansion, because Chen Xin took back the original research center.
The original research center was built with no land restrictions, and it was well-established, with sufficient space to accommodate the entire research department.
Unlike the Dome New City, because the size of the dome itself is limited by design, it seems very crowded after it accommodates a large number of people beyond the design. The research center's office in the new city is just two buildings that were not originally used for scientific research, and there is no enough space to accommodate everyone.
This is something that I didn't consider at the beginning. After all, the Dome New City was just a planned ecological city. It was used to test whether the city in the ecological dome model could operate normally. There was no consideration that the entire city would move in later, so that the dome accommodates a population that was much larger than the original designed one.
However, the country has been in a state of war before, and everyone knows that it is fighting, so it still has a high degree of patience with the relatively crowded environment.
But after the war was over, these problems that were originally shelved were put on the table again and needed to be dealt with one by one.
"Speaking of this, we can move back to the original research facilities, but what should we do if there are so many people in the new city? They moved out of this city, right? Now the city has basically been converted into a line of defense, and they have no place to move back, right?" The group left the high-speed rail station, and on the way to the research center, their companions asked the researchers this question.
The researcher was not clear about this issue. He shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that only Academician Chen can know about this kind of thing, but I guess I will rebuild the city, or build a new dome here? I remember that the original plan was to build a dome city cluster, but unfortunately the war broke out and the plan was put on hold."
"Dome City Cluster? Did you actually have to build many domes back then?" The companion was immediately attracted by the information revealed by the researcher and asked him curiously.
The researcher nodded affirmatively and told his companions about his original plan: "The plan for the Dome New City was proposed by Academician Chen. The plan was to build multiple ecological domes to explore how to jointly build an ecological environment where humans and nature live in harmony, and to conduct relevant research on the ecological restoration of Blue Star after the cold winter recedes in the future.
I also participated in this project at that time. The new city is just the first dome to be built. According to the plan, three to five domes should be built around it. Unfortunately, the invasion of alien creatures delayed this matter..."
