Five kilometers below the Martian colony, there are traces or traces of suspected Martian civilization.
This is a terrible news.
After reading the report of the colonial captain Hong Zewei, Jiang Chen immediately called Kevin to the phone and then dispatched the second batch of colonists in advance.
The implementation of this transportation mission is a 500,000-ton seagull-class new ship that was launched in the water half a month ago. It adopts the improved model of the Red River 1 and can complete the addition and subtraction phase in a shorter time and higher. The cruising degree completes the flight within the solar system.
According to the orbital data measured by quantum computers, the current relative position of the Earth and Mars takes only 21 days from the Star City to the Mars synchronization orbit.
Because the colonial plan was advanced for three months, the 100 colonists who were being trained had to end the training subjects ahead of time, and boarded the ship with the goods to be taken to the Martian colony, lying in the dormant bin. In addition to the colonists, there are ten orbital airborne soldiers equipped with the most advanced Gauss rifles and outer space exoskeletons.
Although Jiang Chen expressed doubts about the existence of Martians, after all, it is more than three billion years ago that people can live on Mars. As they dug their own tombs in the ground, they were afraid that they had weathered into sand, let alone creatures.
However, in order to reassure the colonists, Jiang Chen finally decided to send a ground force.
He is very clear about what extreme things people will do when they are alone.
At the same time as the second group of colonists, the 20 members of the Earth Defense Alliance also returned to the surface, allowing the ghost agents to end the surveillance of 20 members. After Jiang Chen left the office, he went to the future. Shipyard.
At present, the shipyard is located in the gravity-free section of the main axis of the space elevator, next to the port of the Star Ring City.
When Jiang Chen arrived at the shipyard, the hull of a black-painted 600-meter-long seagull-class transport ship was fixed by more than a dozen mechanical arms, suspended in the air quietly, occupying almost nine percent of the shipyard. Ten spaces.
Numerous construction robots surround the outside of the transport ship and weld the finished parts to the transport ship. At the rear of the ship, four mechanical cantilevers are connected to a wide variety of tools, from boring tools to laser welding guns. At the moment, these mechanical cantilevers are doing difficult moves, connecting the red river 1 motive to the groove at the rear of the transport ship.
The wisdom of the working people is unlimited.
Although the design drawings and key technologies of the seagull-class transport ship are given by Jiang Chen, the whole production process is the future work of 10,000 scientists, technicians and senior engineers using existing equipment.
This production process is not necessarily the most perfect, but it is comparable to the world's top level.
Jiang Chen can proudly announce to the world that in the future, Renren Heavy Industry is the only company in the world that has mastered the manufacturing process of a 500,000-ton-class transport ship. Whether it is Russia's Oleg Grand Co., or the Changchun of China, or the American Apollo 1, in front of his "big seagull" is no different from the fish in the water.
Of course, yy is yy, he is not only to look at the magnificent size of the seagull class transport ship, he has more important things to do.
Not waiting for a long time, a middle-aged man in overalls, fluttering his legs to his side, skillfully grabbed the armrests and stood still by the window.
As the owner of the future shipbuilding company, he is currently meeting with senior engineers at the shipyard. Hearing the report of Jiang Chen personally came to the shipyard, he quickly handed over the meeting to his deputy, and put on his work clothes and ran over.
Apologetically watching Jiang Chen, Dai Zhengming explained, "Sorry, I was having a meeting with the technicians. I don't know if the boss personally came to the shipyard to inspect. If there is a place that is not well received, I still hope you have a lot of sea culverts."
"There is no need to be so polite," Jiang Qian put his hand on the guardrail, and indicated that he didn't have to put it in his heart. He said with a smile, "I just come here and look around, hoping that I will not bother your work."
"No, no." Dai Zhengming quickly waved his hand and said with a smile, "If you have something you can't understand, please be sure to talk to me, I will know all the answers!"
Jiang Chen smiled and turned his gaze to the seagull outside the glass window, paused for a moment, then said.
"In the fleet plan approved by the Earth Defense Alliance, it is scheduled to open a tender for the first million-ton class warships to the enterprises in the member states one week later. At present, the hull welding, motives, and ecological warehouses are only those of us. The ability to bid. You are an expert in this aspect. I would like to refer to your opinion. Are you sure that this million-ton warship is safe?"
After hearing Jiang Chen’s words, Dai Zhengming’s face showed a touch of color.
"Boss, to be honest, you should have seen it. Our shipyard is still too small. The construction space is not enough. The 500,000-ton class is already the limit. If you are bigger, you will only have to extend the bow to the outside. ""
Jiang Chen nodded.
The space problem of the shipyard, he just noticed, just this seagull-class transport ship has already occupied the construction space of the entire shipyard.
It should be mentioned here that the entire star-ring city is divided into a gravity-free section and a gravity section, and a low-gravity section in the middle. Due to the problem of the center of gravity of the entire space elevator, in addition to some light industry and planting industry, heavy industries such as shipbuilding and steel making, which have large resource throughput, are distributed on the gravity-free section, that is, the main axis of the entire space elevator. On the same, such shipyards, ports, heavy industry factories, are stacked on the space elevator like the building blocks.
There are many benefits to this, such as maximizing the use of space resources and reducing the time spent on logistics and transportation of industrial raw materials. However, the drawbacks are also obvious. One of them is that if there is not enough space, there is no place for the move.
At present, the steelworks is below the shipyard, and the port is next to it. The demolition is quite troublesome. Widening out is not without problems, but lack of vertical space, but severely limits the scale of the shipyard.
After a moment of indulging, Jiang Chen looked at Dai Zhengming and said.
“A million-ton class warship cannot be built on a space elevator. If you move the entire shipyard out of the space elevator and put it on a separate track, what do you think?”
“Single on the synchronous track alone?” Dai Zhengming was keenly aware of the meaning of the boss’s words. When his eyes lit up, he quickly asked, “You mean to build a separate space station outside the space elevator as a shipyard.”
"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded. "I don't know if there is any difficulty in implementing it."
The shipyard was moved out of the space elevator and existed as the satellite city of the entire Star City. By then, the construction space of the entire shipyard will be more than a little bit larger than now, and it can continue to expand as needed. Not to mention that it is a million tons, or a multi-star ship of 10 million tons, and it also has a foundation for construction.
As for the current shipyard, it is enough to build a boat of less than 500,000 tons.
Dai Zhengming also considered this issue before, but he is only a factory manager after all, and it is not clear how the space elevator works. Another one is under the Futse Heavy Industry, and the space elevator belongs to the Star Trade Pipeline. His problems have been reflected above, and it is not so easy to be heard...
Now the boss is mentioning this, of course he is holding his hands in favor.
"I will find someone to arrange this, and you will study it here. How should this space station be planned?"
At the same time, Jiang Chen did meditation in his heart: the star ring trade and the future people group's plates are getting bigger and bigger. It seems that the cooperation between the various departments has to be tightened. After a while, I have to look for Xia Shiyu to discuss. See if there is any good way.
Under the joy of Dai Zhengming and a group of employees, Jiang Chen left the future heavy industry shipyard and is preparing to call Xia Shiyu. However, the phone has not been dialed out, but her phone is actively called.
"what's up?"
"Zhang Yaping just called you, but couldn't contact you, and then called the company. It is said that the foreign minister is now in the city of Coro, and he hopes to talk to you." (To be continued.)
