Chapter 162 Construction of a Stronghold

A magical scene suddenly appeared, and the scraps of paper on the table floated up.

Not just one, but all the scraps of paper. Although each scrap of paper was not very stable and bumped, they all floated up and floated less than ten centimeters above the table.

His mind moved again, and under Li Meng's control, the scraps of paper fell on the table again.

Interesting...

The magic of the power of the mind surprised Li Meng.

I didn't expect this to be true, really similar to "telekinesis", and really have the ability to control objects.

Looking down at Qian Yuting who was still working hard under the desk, Li Meng's face was thoughtful.

Obviously, the spirit can stimulate a stronger magnetic field when it is active, which allowed Li Meng to coincidentally grasp the mystery of "controlling objects" and master the ability to "control objects".

Thinking of this, Li Meng's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. It seems that the decision to spare Qian Yuting's life was right, otherwise, I don't know when he can control the most basic "controlling things" ability of the power of the mind.

Qian Yuting is probably the only one who can do such a ridiculous thing with him.

Putting his left hand down from the table, Li Meng patted Qian Yuting's head and said, "Go..."

Looking up at the master, Qian Yuting withdrew, and the expression on her face was only calm.

After buttoning the coat for the master, Qian Yuting crawled out from under the table and sat down in her seat again

Picked up the thick stack of documents behind the table again, Qian Yuting read it calmly.

Slightly sideways, looking at Qian Yuting who returned to work, Li Meng's thoughts drifted to a very far place.

In the basin where Xiping Lake is located, on the river, two figures, one big and one small, are walking slowly.

On the river, a huge transport truck would occasionally pass by, and the sound of the tracks crushing the ice and the humming of the motor engine reached their ears.

Looking at the huge transport truck going away on the river, Li Meng asked the No. 1 engineer beside him: "The construction period needs to be accelerated. The radiation value in Qing'an City is getting higher and higher. The red area will soon spread to the Qing'an shelter. Before that, the preliminary project in the basin must be completed. It does not need to be perfect, just let those people in the shelter have a place to live."

The Bull Transport Truck is very large, more than 30 meters long and more than 10 meters high. There is no cockpit, only a huge cargo hold. It is an unmanned vehicle. The AI ​​is not a biomass brain, but an ordinary AI intelligence. The cargo hold is closed, and the upper layer can be opened to load cement or bulk cargo.

In the past month, in order to speed up the progress of construction, the number of Manniu transport vehicles has exceeded fifty, mainly responsible for transporting iron ore and cement. The number of engineering guards has also exceeded one hundred, responsible for the operation of steel plants and cement plants, and is also the main force of construction. Some engineering guards have switched to digging mode to mine the raw materials needed for cement.

With the increase in unmanned mechanical units, there is a very large demand for energy. The No. 1 engineering ship alone can no longer meet the energy needs of all units. In order to meet the power needs of many machines, Li Meng had to temporarily open two fusion reactors at the bottom of the unbuilt energy tower to provide the required energy for many mechanical units.

Every day Li Meng can obtain a lot of resources, but at the same time, a lot of resources will be consumed every day.

Between "in" and "out", the value of out is much greater than that of in, and this situation also affects the speed of engineering construction.

As expected, Engineer No. 1 said: "Resources are insufficient, the production capacity of steel plants and cement plants is limited, and the biggest demand at the moment is cement. It is recommended that the commander recruit some more engineering guards to be responsible for mining cement raw materials. One hundred units will be enough."

One hundred engineering guards?

With a thought, Li Meng looked at the resource page.

Iron resources are sufficient, but copper, silver, and gold are running out.

Li Meng heard from Engineer No. 1 that, in addition to copper, silver and gold are the raw materials of a certain alloy. This alloy has some characteristics and is a very important part of some mechanical units and is indispensable.

Although there are alternative raw materials, those materials are more precious.

After closing the resource page, Li Meng said: "Some resources have been exhausted and cannot be obtained in a short time. Let's do this for now. No. 1, with the current construction progress, when can it be completed?"

Engineer No. 1 replied: "129 days."

129 days?

That's more than four months...

In the helmet, Li Meng's face was thoughtful, and he thought quickly in his heart.

No, more than four months is too long. By that time, the radiation value of Qing'an City has exceeded the standard, and the Qing'an Shelter will also be affected. I don't know how many people will be infected with radiation diseases. By then, even if there is a land engineering ship No. 1, it will be useless and there will be no time for treatment.

The two paused and stood on the river bank.

At this time, the two had entered the canyon, and the canyon mouth was in front of them.

Compared with a month ago, the canyon mouth had changed a lot. It was no longer empty, but had a huge wall.

The thickness of the bottom of the wall exceeded 200 meters, like a mountain lying across the canyon mouth, leaving only the river channel.

After more than a month of construction, the height of the wall was close to 40 meters. From a distance, it was a busy scene.

There are many huge tower cranes standing on the top of the city wall, one every 100 meters. There are also multiple elevators on the inner side of the city wall. The huge Bull Transporter took the elevator to the top of the city wall.

On the city wall, you can see some engineering guards from a distance, and the huge tower cranes are always moving and never stop.

Mechanical units will not rest. Except for the time of charging, they work all day long, regardless of day or night.

Looking at the city wall under construction not far away, Li Meng said: "I can't wait for more than four months. The construction of the city wall can be slowed down. First build the energy tower and the residential area so that the people in the shelter have a place to live."

Hearing this, Engineer No. 1 replied: "Energy tower, residential area, and thermal wave field generator, these three types of facilities are indispensable. If the construction of the city wall is slowed down, it will only take one and a half months."

One and a half months is forty-five days, forty-five days...

Thinking about it, Li Meng felt that it should be in time. After all, it is only a month and a half, not long.

The residential area is easy to deal with, as there are only more than 7,000 people in the shelter, and they can be accommodated by a few apartment buildings. The most time-consuming thing is the energy tower. The energy tower is the energy output source of the stronghold, the "sun" of the stronghold, and it must be built tall enough, which makes the amount of engineering work a bit astonishing.
