In this era of fierce competition in space, affairs between Gaoshou Company and India were quickly overwhelmed by a massive amount of information. Only Indians will remember their president; very few Indians can understand the greatness of this president. However, most of them are indeed abusive - ordinary people are always ignorant.
On the moon, the construction team of Gaoshou Company is engaged in the second task: pouring!
In modern engineering construction, pouring is a simple and insurmountable cheap process. It’s not that it can’t be replaced, but the replacement cost is too high and the process requirements are too high.
But pouring in space is completely different from pouring on the ground. Concrete is usually poured on the ground, and carbon dioxide in the air is used to form strong carbonate. But there is no air and carbon dioxide on the moon. The cost of artificially carrying carbon dioxide is too high. Also, transporting cement into space - this is when your head is filled with cement! The cost price will definitely make the whole world feel heartbroken.
In fact, Gaoshou Company uses a high-strength, high-concentration silicate gel in its lunar construction. Use toxic, highly soluble, volatile organic solvents to dilute it, and then stir the abundant sediment on the moon to use it as a pouring material. This material was the result of the research and development of the stone factory owned by Li Sheng that Gaoshou Company had acquired - of course, this was a specially developed project after joining Gaoshou Company.
The large crater with a radius of several thousand meters has been basically leveled off; however, the rock on the lunar surface is not strong enough and cracks are everywhere, which is a very dangerous real problem. To solve these problems, pouring is necessary.
In addition, there is also the construction of a huge lunar airport. This will be a lifeline! Therefore, it must be completed with quality and quantity. And it's fast!
"Except for the operators, everyone is leaving. Everyone is leaving. This solvent can corrode the fiber structure of the space suit!" The engineer in charge of the on-site command kept driving away those brave people who were full of curiosity.
"Holy crap! Why use it if it's so poisonous!" Obviously, some people don't believe it.
"Hey, you can give it a try. Don't worry, I will miss you if you have an accident!" After working for more than a month, everyone felt a little stressed, and various jokes were rampant.
"Well, we have such a good relationship, you can check here for me. I will cover you from behind."
"Get out of here!"
"Okay, okay, you two, stop arguing. If you argue again, you will have to explain it here!" The engineer shouted from a distance, "This solvent uses chlorine compound technology, which has strong dissolving and corrosive functions. Even stones can be dissolved.”
"Damn it, I didn't tell you earlier! Run away!"
"..." The engineer had a dark look on his face. These guys are all masters with excessive mental power.
Buckets of gelatinous objects were poured into the steel welding pool, followed by buckets of solvent. There is also a large amount of silt collected from the moon, which is blended in a huge mixer, and then filled with solvent appropriately according to the terrain. Maintain different concentrations and complete the watering. This poured concrete is as hard as granite. However, these organic solvents evaporate relatively slowly, and it takes about three days to completely cure. It takes ten days for it to completely evaporate without any residue. During this period, except for the completely sealed watering machinery. No one can be left within a ten-kilometer radius.
The petite watering machinery is busy frequently. Although the special machinery is small, its function is very powerful, even though it consumes a lot of power. The base with a radius of one thousand meters has to be watered, which is not a great project for modern operating machinery. If it is on the ground, the watering can be completely completed in one day, and the quality and quantity are guaranteed. Even on the current moon, it only took five days to complete the watering, and the smooth surface basically required no post-correction. Not to mention, there’s an airport!
"Let's go, the next work has to wait for the arrival of the next group of people!"
Everyone looked at the mountains of supplies in the distance. During these times, the space shuttle of the Master Company did not stop transporting supplies to the moon. What is being transported now is mainly steel, high-strength glass, construction machinery, various mechanical parts, etc. The most eye-catching thing is a 50-meter-long main shaft, which is equipment to be used in nuclear power plants. Due to the bottleneck of space transportation, the space base established on the moon will use third-generation nuclear power plant technology instead of the most advanced fifth-generation technology in the world today.
The warehouses for storing materials are also under intense construction; only the construction of the warehouses uses relatively cheap and lightweight aluminum alloys.
More than a month of continuous construction has exhausted the first batch of construction workers. By the end of June, after completing nearly 50 days of work, everyone can finally return to the ground.
On the ground, a new team of 5,000 people is ready.
The space shuttle landed slowly. The once bright space shuttle was already dusty and ugly. It was all contaminated with fine dust on the moon. The dust was too fine and contained a large amount of various minerals. , a lot of dust is adsorbed on the aircraft, making the once shining space shuttle seem like an ugly duckling, and there is no condition to deal with it in space.
The ones that have changed even more are the operators who have been working in space for nearly fifty days. More than 5,000 people squeezed out of the plane almost all at once. They didn't even have time to take off their space suits and climbed to the ground at once - the gravity on the earth is too high!
Even if you maintain high-intensity exercise on the moon, and even do high-intensity work, the loss and change of gravity still cannot be completely achieved by exercise. Now everyone happily rushed out of the space shuttle, but they didn't expect that they couldn't adapt to the earth's gravity for a while, and they all fell to the ground!
Haha... everyone smiled kindly, but what's even more funny is that the once white spacesuits are now all gray and a bit shabby. It is estimated that if these space suits from the master company were not of high quality, they might have been damaged long ago.
"Hurry up and help!" Zhang Jingyuan chased them away one by one from behind. These guys are getting more and more arrogant; in other words, they are becoming arrogant! .
"Uh...ahem...there's so much dust!"
There was a lot of dust on the surface of the space suit. Even after preliminary treatment on the moon, it could not be completely removed; especially when everyone was eager to go home in the end, many people did not purge it at all and just got into the aircraft. This has also resulted in a cloud of dust inside many aircraft.
"These bastards, space shuttle cleaning is not a small problem!" Next to him, Dongfang Ying began to frown when he saw the scene. All these fine dust entered every corner of the aircraft, even including the interior and gaps of some unsealed electronic components. This dust contains a large amount of metal elements and must be cleaned up, otherwise it will affect the safety of the aircraft. After all, the interior of the aircraft cabin is an open environment.
Zhang Jingyuan smiled slightly, "Well, it's great that everyone can return safely. Originally, we wanted to rotate once a month, but who would have thought that there would be problems with the production of the second batch of space suits, and these people would have to suffer for a while. No need. Too harsh.”
The space suits of the first batch of people are basically no longer usable and require a lot of repair and maintenance. The second batch of 5,000 people wore brand-new space suits, boarded the plane, and began to take off. Space construction is running against time, and expert companies dare not relax at all!
"Okay, everyone will go to the recovery center to stay for a few days. Those who pass the test in advance can go home earlier."
"Ouch..." Even when they were lying on the battery car, these people were cheering. He took off his helmet and breathed in the earth's air greedily. Only in space can you understand how precious the earth is!
The engine roared, and the new construction personnel slowly left the earth along with the space shuttle. A new round of construction was about to begin. This time, the construction of the moon will be monitored by Zhang Jingyuan personally; but just when Zhang Jingyuan was about to set off, a man found Zhang Jingyuan! The large troops had to be allowed to leave first. (To be continued...)
