Chapter 1 The world is very different

"There is one thing you have to keep in mind when working here, and that is safety, safety and safety!" Chen Tie said loudly to the new workers. As the acting team leader of the third welding team in the thirteenth work area of Sky City, Chen Tie felt that his responsibility was very heavy. Now I'm a leader myself.

There are 12 people in his team, and their job is to do welding work in Sky City.

Chen Tie was originally just an ordinary young man in the mountains of China, and in the first twenty years of his life, he never imagined that he would one day have anything to do with space and the universe. Especially after a car accident took his leg, he was even more depressed.

But there is no end to the sky, and when he was most desperate, he got the news that the Osborne Medical Regeneration Center had opened a medical center in the provincial capital. In order to resurrect his broken leg, the family emptied all their savings, sold the house, spent all the compensation money from the car accident that year, and also borrowed it from all relatives and friends who could borrow money. In the end, more than 700,000 yuan of treatment money was finally collected.

With a price of more than 700,000 yuan, Chen Tie finally entered the medical center and let himself grow a new leg again. He is ready to work hard to make money and pay off his debts for the rest of his life. But the night before he was ready to leave for work, he saw the most magnificent scenery of his life.

A Sun rises from the earth, emitting light and heat, rising from the earth and running towards the distant starry sky. It's as if the sea of stars is where it belongs. Looking at the rising star on the earth, as well as the speech of a big man he had seen before, Chen Tie couldn't suppress some of his impulses in his heart. He resolutely devoted himself to the selection of the Explorer Space Skills Training Center.

After three years of training, he finally passed the exam, and he set foot in places he never dared to think of. Looking through the space window, a huge blue gemstone was dazzlingly set on the black curtain. It was the most magnificent color besides the sun. This place is called Earth, and I actually went to space and became a technician working in space.

Their own job is welding, and welding in space is not an easy task. Because in addition to cabin welding, some welding work in a vacuum environment in space is extremely difficult. You have to wear an engineering mecha to complete this difficult welding. Because there is no oxygen and no gravity in space, many things that are easy on Earth are difficult in space.

I worked in Sky City for a year, because of my excellent performance, but also because of the continuous expansion of the project scale and lack of manpower. Yesterday he was promoted to squad leader for a group of newly recruited welders. These people, like themselves a year ago, have just graduated from school. With awe and trepidation of space, but also with some expectations and fantasies. I need to manage this group of rookies well, and working in space is not comparable to training on Earth. Even if you've trained for thousands of hours on Earth, you're still careful in space. A single mistake can kill oneself and even affect one's peers.

"Captain, what are we building now?" a voice that looked a little timid came, and Chen Tie looked over. The voice was the only girl in the group, who was only about 1.6 meters tall. He has short hair and some light freckles on his face. In a group of tall and strong men, she appeared unusually petite.

"Your name is Lin Xingxing?" Chen Tie was impressed by this somewhat cute name.

"That's right. Lin Xingxing nodded.

"We're going to build a space elevator project. Chen Tie explained their current work to Lin Xingxing and the group of newcomers: "The space elevator project is a super-large project that was approved by the Earth Federation last year. Twenty-four huge space elevators will be built from the earth's earth. It's like a giant tree of technology rising from the ground. ”

"They will unfold in space along low-Earth orbit to form a ring around the Earth. They will serve as an umbrella for the planet and will also replace the satellites of the past. It's a huge project, and it's well worth the work. Okay, here's the introduction, everyone will work according to my command!" Chen Tie gave an order, and all the team members were dressed.

But Chen Tie looked at the petite Lin Xingxing, and he still found her alone with some curiosity and asked: "Why do you want a girl to go to space to do this work, it's very dangerous." ”

Lin Xingxing smiled before he walked out of the space capsule door wearing his battle armor: "Because my name is Xingxing, I think space is my destination." ”

The hatch opened, and the queue was loaded.

————————————

Sky City has continued to expand and become one of the most important bases of human life outside of Earth. In the beginning, Sky City was designed to provide long-term living for 5,000 people. But when it came to practical application, it was found that this design was still too conservative.

There is so much work to be done on Earth that Skycity is so Tony Stark, who originally designed the Skycity project, has teamed up with other scientists on Earth (including Inhumans and Underseamen) to make new changes and expansions to SkyCity. Now, after four years of expansion, Skycity has been transformed into a super-large (for humans) space station that can accommodate 50,000 people working and living.

Spacecraft traveling between the Earth and the Moon occasionally make stopovers here. There will also be a lot of material placed here, using this as a transit point.

Chen Xiang flew here from Earth with a new generation of Ark spacecraft, and he had already contacted his cousin Chen Tie before coming. He knew that Chen Tie was working here. In a bar inside Sky City, Chen Xiang, who was wearing a gray tracksuit, finally saw his cousin Chen Tie when he drank his third beer. At the same time, he also noticed that there was a petite girl next to his cousin Chen Tie, and the girl said hello to Chen Tie at the door of the bar and left. Only Chen Tie walked into the bar alone.

Chen Xiang gave his cousin, who he hadn't seen for a long time, a hug, and said with a little teasing: "I just saw a beautiful girl, my sister-in-law in the future, why don't you bring it in?"

"Don't talk nonsense! Chen Tie was a little embarrassed.

Chen Xiang shook his head, he called another bottle of beer to the bartender and filled it with Chen Xiang and said, "I really didn't expect that one day we would be able to drink and chat together in space." It's like a dream. ”

After hearing this, Chen Tie also sighed and said: "Yes, when I was studying in the past, I learned from textbooks that the world's first astronaut, China's first astronaut or something. At that time, I thought they were amazing, and we were so far away in space. Too far away for us to touch. ”

"Yes, you can't actually touch it right now. If you want to touch it, you can knock this wall open. The bartender, who was wiping his glass behind the bar, said jokingly, "Of course, the cost of touching space directly is estimated to be dead." ”

Chen Tie and Chen Xiang chuckled. After the two chatted about some more things and the recent situation, Chen Tie was very interested in Chen Xiang's work this time.

He couldn't help but ask Chen Xiang: "By the way, what are you going to do this time?! It's also very mysterious, obviously so many materials have already been transported." Is it also the construction of space elevators?"

Hearing Chen Tie ask, Chen Xiang laughed: "No, I won't rob you of your job." Originally, I was only an engineering mecha pilot on Earth, but fortunately, in the past two years, my skills have improved relatively quickly, and my driving level has also been higher. That's why I had the opportunity to work on this project, and I was very excited when I learned about it. ”

"Can that be said?"

"Well, it's going to be released tomorrow. You just have to promise not to leak the secret tonight, and I can tell you. ”

"I swear I won't leak it!"

"Well, I can tell you. We're ready to create another sun!"
