NO. One Hundred and Sixty-Three National Dissatisfaction
The engineering team adopted a batch system of 24-hour uninterrupted construction. After three days of mining, two-thirds of the trees and plants on the entire island were leveled, and countless wood was thrown into the garbage boat as waste. A large open space appeared. 1 hour ≧ talk ≦
During these three days, the freighter was not idle, more materials were transported to the island, a simple pier was built, a large crane was lifted back and forth, and boxes of stamped steel plates passed through the Caribbean Sea and were transported to the beach.
The construction efficiency of the clone engineering team was extremely fast. On the tenth day of the start of the construction of Star Island, the foundation of the human cryostat was dug out.
The depth of the foundation is 40 meters, still circular, and the bottom area is 50,000 square meters. The deeper the structure, the more resistant it is to natural disasters such as tsunamis and hurricanes.
In Zhang Heng's plan, the entire structure of the cryonics center is made of special steel, even the underground structure. Just like building blocks, it only needs to be built and welded. With five cranes working at the same time, it only took two days to lay a thick layer of steel plate on the base layer up to 40 meters deep. , but at the center of the foundation, there was a circular blank thirty meters in diameter.
This circular blank part is naturally not for placing the moonlight. After the foundation was laid, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the engineering team suddenly suspended the construction of the foundation, and covered the foundation with a huge curtain to cover the huge deep pit.
At this moment, in the deep pit of the foundation, Zhang Heng and the head of the clone engineering team nodded, then suddenly disappeared, and went to the Radiation Plane again. A huge cylindrical machine with a diameter of ten meters and a length of five meters!
If anyone who has dealt with tunnel engineering all the year round, when they see this machine, I am afraid they will recognize it at a glance - this is a full-section tunnel boring machine!
The full-section tunnel boring machine is a combination of a rotary cutter head and a hob. It is used to excavate a tunnel in the rock formation of the mountain by rotating and squeezing the soil and rock. It is generally abbreviated as 'TBm' in foreign countries. Because the drill bit of this machine is like a round shield, Huaxia calls it a 'shield machine'.
Obviously, Zhang Heng was going to use this tunnel boring machine to dig a secret base underground.
Compared with the use of drilling and other methods, the excavation degree of the tunnel boring machine is several times that of the conventional drilling degree, and the maximum daily drilling depth can reach 500 meters; it has the advantages of fast, safe, economical, and less disturbance to the rock formation. Tunnel boring machine is an advanced machine taken from the radiation plane, with faster efficiency and speed, and higher safety.
The huge volume of ten meters in diameter means that the diameter of the tunnel it excavates is more than ten meters, and this roadheader adopts extrusion driving, so there will be no excavated soil.
The machine will directly open up a channel in the ground, and all the soil will be squeezed around and become extremely dense.
With the working efficiency of a tunnel boring machine that is about a hundred years more advanced than reality, it is possible to drill a channel to the depth of several thousand meters on the star island in at most half a month.
That's right, this is the third secret base that Zhang Heng plans to build besides the clone production center and the hive. This base will be countless times more secretive than the hive!
Because in the design, the location of this base will be located inside the seabed rock formations of the Caribbean Sea, at an altitude of minus 2,000 meters. In this case, even if there is a huge irreversible disaster in the world, such as sunspot explosion, nuclear war, etc., it will not affect this underwater base thousands of meters deep, unless the earth is destroyed.
As for the structure of the so-called submarine base, Zhang Heng designed it into a spherical shape, which is also the most resistant to crustal extrusion.
As for the soil excavated from the ground, Zhang Heng also has a solution. He directly transported the last molecular teleporter on the radiation plane to here, and then connected the hive and the star island, and directly transported the excavated soil there, which was a perfect solution. Efficiency issues and the danger of being discovered.
When the full-face tunnel boring machine was drilling into the ground, the human body freezing center on the surface continued to work. The surface works covered the huge movement of the ground. Even if some curious travelers drove the boat to the edge of the island to observe secretly, It is impossible to notice that there is a secret that is enough to shock the world hidden under the construction site of this island!
Time passed slowly, the old year passed, Zhang Heng's plane has reached the new year, and the reconstruction of Xingxing Island has also entered a steady period. The surface can be completed in three or four months, but the underground may also need to be completed. longer.
But these are not big problems. With the clone army guarding, Zhang Heng has no need to continue guarding here. At the beginning of January of the new year, he received a call from Yuehua again.
"Your Excellency Commander, there is good news. The US FDA has officially announced that the 'anti-freezing nanomedicine' has passed the clinical trial and new drug application, and has reached the certification standards. You can already manufacture anti-freezing agents."
"Very well, those consortiums are really quick to work out of it. If it is normal, it will take at least two to three years for the anti-freeze agent to pass the application, right?" Zhang Heng said with a sigh of relief.
"Yes, without Williams and other US consortia to put pressure on the authorities, the anti-freeze agent is expected to take about five years to pass the application, unlike now, it only takes half a year to pass the certification, which is ten times faster." Yuehua said excitedly.
"It seems that the cryonics center in India is ready to open, Yuehua, you have specially selected a public relations team from the company, I need to spread advertisements on a large scale all over the world, especially online publicity, you can buy Google and Baidu and other popular search entries, inform them of the existence of the Indian Cryonics Center and the Virgin Islands Cryonics Center!" Zhang Heng ordered.
"clear."
"Also, has the company's pharmaceutical factory completed, can we start manufacturing anti-freezing agents?"
"Your Excellency Commander, I'm afraid it's not possible for the time being." Yue Hua suddenly groaned, "We have obtained the international gmp certification and passed the certification of the provincial food and drug administration, but because ours is an injection, we still have to pass the certification. National-level certification is considered qualified, but the country has not allowed us to pass the certification, because our factory has quality problems and refused to give us a 'drug manufacturing enterprise license'."
Zhang Heng's expression suddenly turned cold when he heard the words, "In this case, we will not insist on buying a pharmaceutical factory in India directly. We have to start the production of anti-freezing agent before the end of the month!"
"But what about Huaxia?" Yuehua felt a little pity, "Wouldn't it be a pity if a large pharmaceutical factory with an investment of 300 million US dollars could not start construction?"
"This matter will be resolved sooner or later, but not now. What we have to do now is to open the cryonics center as quickly as possible." Zhang Heng said, "The sooner it is opened, the better it will be for us."
"clear."
After telling Yuehua, Zhang Heng hung up the phone silently, frowned suddenly, and muttered in a low voice, "Sure enough, because the anti-freeze agent is not reviewed in China, is the country dissatisfied with me?" (To be continued .)
