The entrance to the hollowed-out mountain was a full five or six meters high and seven or eight meters wide, with a broad path of bluestone stretching out across the floor.
Walking twenty or thirty meters inside, one entered a vast space, roughly estimated to be at least four or five hundred thousand square meters, with a vaulted ceiling hovering about thirty meters above the ground. Twenty nine-story apartment buildings, all identical in appearance and occupying at least three thousand square meters each, were arranged in a U-shape, enclosing a massive central area. The dormitories were spaced about fifteen meters apart, and the center was a sprawling lawn filled with greenery and grass. There were even a few small lakes, making the entire area resemble a leisure park several tens of thousands of square meters in size. Near the cave entrance stood thirty-six five-story buildings, all reserved as apartments for the Foundation Establishment instructors.
On three sides of the dormitory area, there were entrances—each about two hundred square meters—leading underground. According to the map, the basement level was a two-story expanse spanning nearly two hundred thousand square meters, housing supermarkets, cafeterias, and various entertainment facilities.
