Goat, who works for Springfield Underground, is commuting by bicycle every morning.
If it continues running for a while, it becomes a downhill with exposed rock surface ...
Arrive at the entrance of the company that was open to the wall of the rock. No large buildings can be found on the ground, and almost all of the company's facilities are built in the underground space.
Goat touches the card key while riding a bicycle ...
Get into the company.
Inside is a vast space created by hollowing out the rock to mine limestone, and the ceiling has a light. You can see the appearance of a typical passenger car on the left hand, as it is time for other employees to commute.
Although this tunnel, which was a limestone mine several decades ago, is flat on the ground, the walls and ceilings are exposed to rocky rocky surfaces, and the ground is wet like water.
The underground space is not all a storehouse, and you can see the space where the employee's car stopped, the office and so on.
The sight lined with thick columns to support the ceiling is a construction that can not be seen in a typical building.
After running for a while, “there is something very interesting,” says Goat and stops the bike.
At the point where the camera was pointed, there was a hole in the ceiling, and as the light of the sky came in, the water flowed down. It is not a strange sight to see in a cave exploration tour etc., but this is Goat's office and is on the way to the office commuting route.
Goat, who started again, pointed out that there are several advantages to the warehouses built in these underground spaces. The underground storage sheltered by bedrock is a safe place that is not susceptible to external influences, and the temperature is around 62 degrees Fahrenheit (16 degrees Celsius) throughout the year whether it is summer or winter, and the cost of air conditioning is low. It is a merit that it is an end point.
The sight of the office wall and the light in the room can be seen on the right, while the rocky surface can be seen on the right and in front of it.
Many of the stores in Springfield Underground store food that needs to be stored at low temperatures, and many of the trucks that carry luggage have refrigerated containers.
The ceiling of the underground storehouse is said to be about 30 to 40 feet thick (about 9m to 12m), and the cell phone's radio wave can not reach it and GPS can not be used, but only the Internet can be used through the provider.
Springfield Underground, which already has a large warehouse, says that a new warehouse is under construction.
In addition, expansion of underground space seems to be advancing.
There are lights in the dark, but there is no ceiling light and there is no space in the room. You can see the remains after digging the wall or ceiling on the side.
I am Goat, who runs in the tunnel with Swissig, but it was paused firmly where 'STOP' signs and lines were drawn.
Similar landscapes are continuous no matter where you go, so it is likely that you will get lost if people who do not know the inside get in.
In addition, the picture below is a photograph taken of the ceiling of Goat's office. The ceiling of the office is exposed as well as the place where it is running in the movie.
This time, it was about taking pictures of commuting scenes, but it seems that they drove round the tunnel.
I occasionally come across in the dark that I'm empty ...
It can be seen that, although inside the company, not all places are used / developed.
There is clearly unpaved and untouched space at the side of the road.
In addition, when Goat stops a bicycle at a certain place, you can hear a water sound called saa. Goat explained that the water that has leaked from somewhere seems to be flowing like a waterfall, and there may be a stream of water or a spring in the basement.
The railway trace seen on the right was once used to carry limestone out.
Goat continues to run after that ...
Finally arrived at the office.
Go up the narrow slope as you get used to.
Apparently I could go into the office with my bicycle ...
I went to the office with my card key.
