Begin from the original form of torture and become immortal

Chapter 1680 Base
A chef provides the necessary food for the staff so that everyone can have sufficient energy in the difficult working environment; there is also a launch team composed of two people. They are the direct operators of the ten "Minuteman III" land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles in the launch silo and are responsible for launching missiles at critical moments.

Judging from the number of personnel and task allocation, the guard force is indeed very weak.

However, there have never been any major problems with these missile silos.

The U.S. military actually has a unique strategy that allows it to maintain the safety of missile silos when the guarding force seems weak.

They set up a large number of fake missile silos among the fifteen real missile silos.

These fake launch silos look so similar to real ones that it is difficult to distinguish them.

Some fake silos are even located two or three kilometers away from residential areas and are recorded on Google Street View.

The U.S. military does this, on the one hand, to confuse potential enemies, making it difficult for them to accurately determine the location of the real launch silo and increasing the difficulty for them to launch an attack; on the other hand, it is also to distract the enemy's attention, forcing them to spend more time and energy to distinguish between real and fake launch silos when attacking, thereby buying the U.S. military more reaction time.

As a key component for protecting missile silos, the missile silo cover is designed and manufactured to extremely high standards.

The missile silo cover at Minot Air Force Base is 115.4 cm thick. Such a thick cover provides solid physical protection for the silo.

It consists of 90 cm of ordinary reinforced concrete and 25.4 cm of borate radiation-proof reinforced concrete.

Ordinary reinforced concrete gives the manhole cover basic strength and compressive resistance, enabling it to withstand huge external pressure and impact.

Borate radiation-proof reinforced concrete has special protective functions. Borates can effectively absorb and block nuclear radiation, protecting missiles and related equipment in the silo from damage by nuclear radiation.

The entire silo cover weighs 105 tons and has a compressive strength of 7 MPa, which means that even if terrorists or enemies use high-intensity explosive devices, it is difficult to cause substantial damage to the silo cover.

Connors arrived at Minot Air Force Base, and his huge size as a life form of Godzilla made it impossible for him to hide his whereabouts.

However, he didn't seem to want to hide himself.

He took heavy steps, approaching the base step by step. Each step left deep footprints on the ground and raised a cloud of dust.

The 91st Security Force deployed at Minot Air Force Base is responsible for protecting the security of the base.

This force is composed of 700 US soldiers who are dedicated to guarding nearly one-third of the US land-based strategic forces - 1 Minuteman III missiles.

The "Minuteman III" missile is one of the core equipment of the US land-based strategic nuclear force. It has the characteristics of long range, high accuracy and great power, and is an important support for the US nuclear deterrence strategy.

The base is home to not only the 52th Bomb Wing equipped with B-5H Stratofortress strategic bombers, but also the 91st Space Wing, which is responsible for managing and launching Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missiles.

The B-52H "Stratofortress" strategic bomber is one of the main strategic bombers of the US Air Force. It has the advantages of long-range attack and large payload. It can carry various conventional and nuclear weapons and carry out precision strikes on enemy targets.

The 91st Space Wing is the direct operating unit of the US land-based strategic nuclear force. They are responsible for the daily maintenance, management and launch preparation of missiles to ensure that the missiles are on standby at all times.

Minot Air Force Base has a beautiful environment, lying quietly in the prairie. The base is surrounded by vast wheat fields, and under the sunshine, the wheat waves rise and fall with the wind, a golden color.

In late autumn, when the breeze blows gently, the swaying golden wheat fields and the mountains in the distance complement each other, forming a postcard-like beautiful landscape painting, revealing peace and tranquility.

However, appearances are often very deceiving.

Just beneath this seemingly peaceful and tranquil grassland and wheat field lies a hidden U.S. missile silo where hundreds of Minuteman III missiles are ready to launch at any time.

These missiles are like sleeping beasts. Once they receive an order, they will wake up instantly, fly towards the target with tremendous force, and bring a devastating blow to the enemy.

The 91st Security Force is equipped with advanced equipment to ensure timely response to various emergencies.

Among the equipment they have, the UH-1N "Huey" helicopter is the most maneuverable.

The UH-1N "Huey" helicopter is a classic medium-sized general-purpose helicopter developed by the American Bell Helicopter Company. Since its launch, it has been widely used in the military field due to its outstanding performance.

It uses two T53-L-13B turboshaft engines, and its powerful power output gives it excellent flight performance.

Its maximum flight speed can reach about 220 kilometers per hour, and its cruising speed can be maintained at around 180 kilometers per hour, which enables it to cover longer distances in a short time.

The helicopter also has a considerable range, which under standard conditions can reach about 500 kilometers, and can be further extended after special operations such as aerial refueling.

Moreover, its take-off and landing performance is extremely good, and the requirements for the take-off and landing site are relatively low. Whether it is flat grass, a simple airport runway, or a temporarily opened up open space, it can take off and land quickly.

This powerful maneuverability makes the UH-1N "Huey" helicopter an effective tool for the 91st Security Force to quickly deploy troops.

Once an emergency occurs at the base, helicopters can take off quickly, carrying fully armed soldiers, and streak across the sky like lightning, delivering troops to every corner of the base in a short period of time, buying precious time for timely control of the situation.

In addition to the UH-1N Huey helicopters, the 91st Security Forces is also equipped with Humvee off-road vehicles equipped with heavy machine guns.

The Hummer off-road vehicle, also known as the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV), is a classic military vehicle developed by AM General for the US military.

It is world-renowned for its excellent off-road performance, strong carrying capacity and high reliability.

The Hummer off-road vehicle uses a four-wheel drive system, a high-power engine and an advanced suspension system, allowing it to travel on all kinds of complex terrain with ease.

Whether it's rugged mountain roads, muddy swamps, or soft sand, it can handle it with ease.

Its powerful torque output ensures that the vehicle can maintain stable power output when climbing slopes, overcoming obstacles, etc.
