Admiral of Hogwarts

345 Secret Base

The car slowly passed through the streets of the city and headed towards the suburbs. Through the transparent car windows, Hugo saw that the crowd outside seemed bustling and prosperous.

"Is this place really in northern Mexico near the U.S. border?" Hugo asked in surprise as he looked at the prosperous scene outside the car window.

After all, the chaos in northern Mexico has appeared since the 80s, and it is obviously a bit unexpected for a thriving small town like this to appear here.

"Of course this is the US-Mexico border! As long as you have big enough fists and enough money, you can do whatever you want." After hearing his admiral ask this, Sheng Sheng replied excitedly while driving the car.

"Compared to the local bullies, we have much bigger fists than them, and we are also richer than them, so we have successfully controlled a large area."

"Then will we arouse unnecessary suspicion?" After being a ship girl for so long, Hermione also understood a lot of things, so she asked a key point.

"Of course not. California and Oklahoma are in charge here. On the surface, ordinary Americans are investing here. This is not uncommon for various areas along the US-Mexico border."

"More importantly, after stabilizing local security, whether it is seaside travel, gambling or the export of various tequilas, it will be very profitable, so it will not arouse too much suspicion."

During the rest of the journey, Reputation talked about the struggle history of those American ship girls here. I have to say that, apart from the Soviet Union, the ones making the most noise are these American ship girls.

For this group of American ship girls who were originally responsible for the Pacific region, their names are destined to make them very suitable for this environment like the American West in the 19th century.

According to reputation, those ship girls had a falling out with the local gangsters within two weeks of arriving here, and then there was a violent confrontation that lasted for half a year.

The local gangsters gradually escalated their violence, starting with pistols and knives, and finally even used large-caliber machine guns and IEDs loaded with more than 20kg of TNT.

The retaliation methods of the ship girls have also been upgraded, from the Chicago typewriter and the M1 carbine to the 127mm high-level dual-purpose secondary gun.

It has to be said that the local gangsters wearing heavy body armor and driving homemade armored vehicles are much more powerful than the local official forces. But these things are worthless when facing the M2 heavy machine gun and 40mm Bofors.

And when the ship girls easily used 30 rounds of 127mm secondary guns in the final battle to knock down all the local gangsters and the gathering points they built like fortresses, this large area immediately became quiet.

After stabilizing the public security, the ship girls began the real construction. Compared with the violent war, the development brought about by this construction completely destroyed the basis for the survival of the lawless fanatics in the region.

All this has created the unique prosperity of this region, and the peace paved with thousands of corpses in half a year has also made the lawless fanatics in other regions dare not go too far after the ship girl delineated the sphere of influence.

"So our place is considered to have the best security in the whole of Mexico. Last year, National Geographic even listed this area as the most suitable place for travelers in the United States and surrounding areas."

As Sheng Sheng said this, he followed the turbulent traffic and drove into a beach. Judging from the license plates of the surrounding cars, there were many travelers from the United States, many of whom were traveling with their families.

From this point, we can also see that the reputation is true, because if it is not a truly safe place, travelers will mainly be adults and will not bring children.

"Are you sure the entrance to the base is here?" Hugo asked in surprise after the car stopped in the parking lot of the beach.

He had always thought that this kind of secret base would be located in a remote wilderness, but he never expected that it would be in this tourist attraction full of people.

"Actually, we also wanted to set it up in a remote wilderness before, but in this case, it would be difficult for the squibs and even ordinary people who work for us to come here to work."

Reputation said through the Admiral Network while leading Hugo and the others through the crowd.

"So we set up entrances and exits in several crowded places, and even gave those workers other professional names in these enterprises, so that it would be more convenient for them to work."

The entrance to the secret base was set inside the office building. After entering an office, Reputation used a card he carried with him to swipe it on a machine in a drawer, and then a door disguised as a cabinet opened.

Behind the cabinet is a secret room with an elevator.

"Next we will go to the underground base 370m deep underground. Next, you will see the most technologically advanced of all our researches in the world." Reputation said and pressed the button.

More than a minute later, the elevator dinged and stopped. As the elevator door opened, Hugo saw two guards wearing full-body power armor standing at the door.

"Power armor!" Hugo exclaimed in a low voice, then turned to look at Reputation. "Is this the result of your research, a practical power armor?"

These two pieces of power armor did surprise Hugo, but there was nothing beyond his expectations. After all, the difficulties that prevented this kind of thing from being created were mainly in the energy and control system, which could be completely compensated by magic.

"This is indeed one of the results of our research, but it is only a very small part of the results." After saluting the two guards, Hugo and the others said at the same time as they walked deeper into the tunnel with their reputation.

"To be precise, we are currently conducting research. The goal is to combine magic and the most advanced technology as much as possible, and then create some unprecedented miracles."

This underground base was much larger than the one in the Western Balkans, so Hugo and the others quickly boarded a battery car and headed diagonally downward along the tunnel.

As the battery car advanced in the tunnel, Hugo discovered that one branch tunnel after another appeared on both sides of the road, and some people, vehicles and even special robots were walking along the tunnels.

"These tunnels lead to various areas, including residential areas, factories, bio-domes and even large-scale planting areas." Reputation Hugo proudly introduced their construction achievements.

"In other words, we have now built an underground ecosystem. On the one hand, this is to keep it as secret as possible, and on the other hand, it is also to conduct experiments for our ultimate goal."

"Artificial Ecosystem!" Hermione's eyes widened suddenly, because it was in 1991 that the famous Biosphere 1994 experiment began to be put into operation, and in , this experiment could be said to have completely failed.

For this reason, scientists concluded that an ecological circle with too small a space could not be maintained for a long time, so Hermione was surprised by the artificial ecological circle mentioned by Reputation.

"Yes, artificial ecosystem." Reputation nodded, "Of course this cannot be accomplished with the current level of technology, but if magic is added, the work will become particularly simple."
