On February 1, hundreds of helicopters landed at Gaoshou Company, and all national leaders were present. "Xiao Zhang, thank you." The chairman held Zhang Jingyuan's hands and looked around at the tens of thousands of employees of the master company who were welcoming him, and suddenly felt a sense of pride and warmth. Gaoshou Company has never stopped supporting the country, but the country has held us back several times.
"My rise and the glory of Gaoshou Company come from this land. Now, it is time for us to repay this land." There were no heroic words or grand speeches. Zhang Jingyuan's words were very plain, but there was a shocking feeling. strength.
In the distance, a banner rustled in the cold wind: Struggle for the rise of the nation. The students who had just entered Shenlan Middle School, wearing stiff school uniforms that imitated military uniforms, stood motionless in the fierce cold wind.
"Okay, okay! Okay!" The chairman patted Zhang Jingyuan on the shoulder, speechless.
"Chairman, let's go take a look. Let's see if the first phase of the project has just been completed. Tomorrow, we will watch the groundbreaking ceremony of the space base with the first batch of construction materials."
"Okay! Let me take a look and see how our current technology is!"
The roaring helicopter hung in the air, looking at the bustling work site below. The ground project, a super project hosted by the Eastern Group, is still under intense construction. However, the first phase of the project has been completed.
The first phase of the project mainly includes the first phase of the nuclear power plant and the steel plant. The goal of the first phase is to produce special steel for use in space to be used as the skeleton of the space base. Relatively speaking, these basic building material requirements are not that strict. As long as the strength is sufficient, it is generally sufficient. It is enough to have a length of 120 meters and an error within 5mm. Anyway, this thing will need strict welding operations when it goes into space. By then, we can completely make up for this difference with welding technology. Of course, current technology is enough to ensure that the error of a 120-meter-long steel pipe is within 1mm.
Below, there are still construction machinery hundreds of meters high. Even Zhang Jingyuan looked down at these spectacular scenes from the sky, and he was shocked from the bottom of his heart. This is the power of mechanical technological civilization! Seeing machines that lift thousands of tons or even several times 10,000 tons, and build huge objects as quickly as building blocks, there is no way to hide the shock.
Starting from Gaoshou Company, it spreads along the 120-kilometer-long construction line toward the port of Qindao City; and the same goes for the helicopters in the sky.
Along the line, the industrial zone with a width of more than 10 kilometers stretches endlessly. Some small hills have been directly dug out, and the greenery on both sides is beautiful.
Various vehicles shuttled among them, some were simple small battery vehicles, while the larger ones were lifting machinery up to 100 meters high. This is because the current super engineering construction does not have buildings over 100 meters high in design. Otherwise, with current technology, Zhang Jingyuan believes that there will definitely be construction machinery with a height of 300 meters.
Today, we mainly visited the port, where the first phase of the project has been completed. Three months after the start of construction, the first phase of construction was completed, including the first phase of the nuclear power plant, a medium-sized steel plant and supporting steel rolling equipment.
Looking down from the sky to the ground, a huge project appears in front of everyone.
In the distance, amid the crashing waves, a ship of more than 300,000 tons returning from Australia slowly docked at the port. The huge ship, which is 400 meters long and 35 meters wide, is bulky and slow, but in a larger port, it does not seem that big. The port supporting the super project has been enlarged a lot, and the location in the distance is still being expanded.
The motor hums, and the iron powder on the ship is continuously transported through the belt, and then directly enters the 10-meter-wide conveyor belt composed of steel chains, and the other end is directly connected to the steel plant. Most of the middle parts are sealed, so wind and rain will cause losses and environmental pollution.
The nearest steel plant is only about 100 meters from the port. The conveyor belt directly feeds the fine iron powder into the smelting furnace. Of course, people on the plane cannot see this link. However, you can still see circles of faint halo appearing over the factory due to the use of high-voltage electric smelting technology, which is produced by high-voltage electromagnetism.
Farther away, on the steel chain conveyor belt, hundreds of meters long formed and quenched black steel columns were transported to another huge factory building. What comes out from the inside are steel columns that have been treated with high-temperature spraying and simply finished. The titanium layer shining with golden light makes the steel columns look noble and gorgeous.
Next to it, a double-arm crane lifted the 150-ton hollow steel column to a transport vehicle on the side, and then transported it to the location of Gaoshou Company 120 kilometers away, where all the steel columns will be installed. Rise aircraft, sent into space.
"Xiao Zhang, I see these pillars are so thick, why not make them thinner? Is this easier to transport?" The chairman and Zhang Jingyuan were sitting in the same helicopter.
"Chairman, the construction cost in space is too high, so after rigorous calculations, we have temporarily found the simplest method, that is, there is a 4.8-meter-diameter space inside these steel pillars. On the one hand, they are pillars. On the other hand, it is also a self-contained space. At this stage, these steel pillars will also be strange-shaped capsules in space. When the space base is successfully constructed, these steel pillars will also be conduits for wires and cables, and even As escape pipes, water storage tanks, etc.
So, although it looks bulky now, once the construction is successful, we can maximize the use of space.
In addition, during transportation, we will also stuff a large amount of other materials into these spaces, such as food, drinking water, etc. The new Rise has an internal diameter of 16 meters, a length of 150 meters, and a transportation space of 122 meters, which can just fit these steel pillars into it. ”
"Hey, that's it. By the way, Xiao Zhang, how much does it cost to build such a space base now?"
"This... is really impossible to calculate. The photovoltaic cells needed alone require 1 million square kilometers. In the future, space factories, space food bases, space residential areas, etc. will be built, which has exceeded the number that can be counted.

So, Mr. Chairman, we have to have a new currency, a currency fit for the space age. The existing currency is actually not far away from collapse.
Moreover, it goes without saying that it is too far away. Let’s just say that right now, in space, using existing currencies to measure it has actually lost its true meaning.
The new currency should not be the current currency issued based on the credibility of the country, but a currency issued based on the strong power of the country. This currency represents a person's rights, obligations, status, etc. in the country. Just like, the "point" currently circulated within the master company. According to the internal regulations of the master company, the right to meet a person's minimum daily average living needs is one hundred points. The purchasing power of one hundred points is equivalent to 2l water + 1kg cooked rice + 1 egg + 100ml milk + 10g salt + 50g fruit + 50g vegetables. This is the current "one point" purchasing power of the master company. Now it has an official name: Life Coin! "Well! The chairman nodded. Zhang Jingyuan's explanation had a really strong impact on him. But in the current era, just like what Zhang Jingyuan said, it's time to change!
