Chapter 574: To the South Pole
The lord's warship had already returned from Nigaya, and the diamonds it brought back plus the inventory were enough for about a month. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Upgrading to the sixth order, the Duan Lord battleship was automatically recycled into the monster factory for transformation, and now Ye Qing wants to see what it has become.
Quickly returning to Longxi Beach, Ye Qing walked in the direction of the barren mountain that hid countless secrets.
This barren mountain is crescent-shaped, just surrounding the core area of the entire Longxitan factory. But if you stand on the top of the barren mountain and watch, you will find that the crescent-shaped barren mountain has been surrounded by a series of brand-new factories.
In the crescent ring, there are only a few steel buildings that have undergone three constructions, and these buildings are very small compared to the newly completed factories in the distance. But this is the core place of Monster Heavy Industries, and it is also the foothold of Giant Beast Heavy Industries at the beginning of its establishment.
The original wall had been demolished, Ye Qing bypassed the two iron trees that dotted the scenery, walked to the foot of the barren mountain, stood in front of the craggy stone wall, and gently slid his fingers on it twice.
"Click~"
After the slight sound of mechanical movement, the stone wall in front of it sank silently, revealing a modern passage with bright lights and a green corundum wear-resistant floor.
The air in the passage is fresh, and there is a slight smell of the sea.
When Ye Qing walked to the end of the passage, a huge space carved into the mountain appeared in his field of vision.
Overhead is a hill and alloy reinforced dome that has been cut out of neat lines, and at the foot is a staircase with a deep, dark pool as wide as a basketball court.
This is the underground dock of the base, Ye Qing took out the monster factory mobile phone, took a deep breath, and chose to recruit the lord battleship.
"Boom~"
In the deep and dark pool, an ancient beast seemed to appear out of thin air. The giant beast fell into the water and set off a huge wave.
Ye Qing touched the salty seawater on his face, and looked at the sixth stage lord battleship with some stunnedness.
Floating up and down in the icy water, it is different from the flat and heavy shape of the previous stage, but has a somewhat streamlined shape, with a slightly narrower bow and an edge line that is slanted to the stern.
Longer and larger, the docks dug out by angry absenteeism almost can't hold its body. The four waterjet propulsion units were also replaced with a jet-engine-like propulsion unit. According to the introduction of the monster factory, the lord warship of the sixth stage will sail at a speed of one hundred and fifty knots on the surface of the sea and eighty knots at sea.
The speed of one hundred and fifty knots on the surface of the water is simply flying, and it is impossible for a ship on the earth to run at this speed.
After taking a closer look, Ye Qing found that the Lord Warship of the Sixth Stage already had another propulsion technology.
-- Air-cushion propulsion.
When the lord warship is sailing at high speed, it injects compressed air into the bottom of the ship, forming an air cushion between the bottom of the ship, so that the hull of the ship is raised to reduce the resistance of the water surface. In this way, the drag of the hull when sailing is greatly reduced, and high-speed navigation is realized.
This technology is not too complicated, and many military landing craft are using this technology. The most outstanding representative is the world's largest bison landing craft.
But there is no landing craft that can reach a speed of one hundred and fifty knots. And the lord warship can be loaded with a thousand tons of cargo and ride the wind and waves on the sea.
"Then let's set off towards the South Pole!" Ye Qing gently stroked the scarlet metal shell of the lord warship, looking forward to it.
The next day, Ye Qing returned to the company after a few days of absence.
In the morning, he handled the company's affairs, and in the afternoon, Ye Qing was in the office, asking the company to contact the Huaxia Scientific Research Station in Antarctica and ask them to pass on information about Antarctica.
Behemoth Heavy Industries is now a leader in China's manufacturing industry, and it is not difficult to contact the Antarctic scientific research station through the government. Of course, Ye Qing asked the company to ask for information in the name of testing equipment.
The matter of mining combustible ice must be kept secret, otherwise the scientific expedition members of various countries will see that the giant beast heavy industry has warships far beyond the technology of the earth, which can not only dive but also walk on land.
That's not going to blow up the nest!
It makes much more sense for companies to test how their products work in extreme natural conditions, as many companies have done that.
After receiving the information from Giant Beast Heavy Industry, the research station was not stingy, and sent all the environmental, climatic and geographical data of Antarctica. They also invited Giant Beast Heavy Industries to take a research ship to Antarctica in December next year.
Because December is the most moderate time in Antarctica. If they come now, they think that not only the equipment will not be able to carry it, but even the accompanying technicians will not be able to carry it.
Antarctica is divided into two seasons every year, the cold season is from April to October, and the warm season is from November to March. Now is the time to enter the cold season, and even the members of the scientific expedition team who have been in Antarctica all the year round choose to nest in the research station most of the time and try to avoid going out.
With the lord battleship, Ye Qing didn't have to plan too much. Just take care of the cold and bring plenty of food.
On this trip to Antarctica, Ye Qing will also go.
Because the lord battleship can only be piloted by Ye Qing alone, it is okay to cruise remotely through the mobile phone of the monster factory, and when it is logged in to Antarctic mining, Ye Qing has to focus on the operation from beginning to end, it is better to go together, but it is more efficient.
In fact, in Ye Qing's heart, he also really wanted to see the legendary Antarctic continent. Experience the magnificent view that nature brings.
ā¦ā¦
After two days of preparation, Ye Qing carried a large amount of supplies, two huge laborers, and a delicate master boarded the lord's battleship and prepared to go to sea secretly.
The lord battleship of the sixth stage has a cockpit of tens of square meters and has six crew seats. There is also a separate captain's lounge at the back of the cabin, where all imaginable living facilities are only better and more advanced.
This is also one of the motivations for Ye Qing to visit the Antarctic continent, sitting in the constant temperature lord warship, shirtless, smiling at the ice and snow outside the porthole, and the wind is raging. That feeling is definitely more pleasing to the eye than going to any tourist attraction.
Satellite communication equipment, Antarctic cold-proof clothing for Youshidun Company, electrically heated warm boots, windproof goggles, high vodka, whiskey, roasted knives, cold vegetables, steak, various meats, instant noodles, dumplings, etc.~
The cockpit and living compartment were full of daily necessities, and even the three monsters brought full sets of winter clothing.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Ye Qing sat in the lord's battleship, gently pressed down the control stick, and plunged into the vast sea.
The South Pole is 12,000 kilometers away from China, and the lord warship sails rapidly on the sea, and it only takes 43 hours to reach it.
Of course, the actual time is slower, because from the Yellow Sea to the south, along the Pacific Ocean all the way across the Tasman Sea between Australia and New Zealand, and then to the South Pole Cape Goodenough landing. The entire route has to go around more than 1,000 kilometers to avoid the South Sea countries and Australia that stand in the way.
