Chapter 496: After January

In order to speed up the construction of the red giant, starting from October, except for the rest time to return to the small space, most of the time, Tianming is busy in the red giant.

One, the transformation of the atmosphere of the red giant must be accelerated.

To this end, Tianming spent half a month to build 30 "dragon head" air purification devices, which were installed on various high mountains in the catalog of red giants.

Together with the 10 faucets that were built earlier, there are now a total of 40 faucet air purifiers.

With so many large air purification stations joining the work of purifying the planet's atmosphere, the mission that was supposed to take 2,000 years to complete the task has been reduced to 500 years.

"500 years is too long, let's seize the day, but the door of space is no longer enough, let's build a new purification station after a while."

……

Using the results of the industrial machine tool plan, Zhou Bo, the chief designer of the program, and Yuan Jinglun, the deputy chief designer of the program, came up with a batch of new design drawings and asked Tianming to help them produce a new type of 3D printer and module assembly machine.

The newly developed new 3D printer has no major breakthrough in technology, but in terms of size, there has been an exaggerated change, the size of the 3D printer has increased by 10 times compared with the previous one, and the volume has increased by 300 times.

The advantage of this large 3D printer is that it can print out super-large size parts, according to Zhou Bo's words: "20 * 20 * 15 3D printer, can directly print out a fighter jet, when manufacturing starships in the future, no matter what size of the molded parts, can be printed, plus 6 printing printheads can work at the same time, a 3D printer, the efficiency is at least 10 times more than that of ordinary small 3D printers, almost an industrial artifact." ”

Yuan Jinglun nodded: "The large 3D printer is easy to use, but the volume is too large." It's not easy to move, and small printers still need to be used. ”

According to Zhou Bo's requirements, Tianming produced 5,000 large 3D printers and 50,000 small 3D printers at one time.

In the same way, the module assembly machine is also divided into two levels, the large one is called the "assembly line level", and the small one is called the "portable level", and Tianming has produced a total of 100 "assembly line level" module assembly machines, and 10,000 "portable level" module assembly machines that are only slightly larger than microwave ovens.

……

Since the machine has it, the factory must also have it.

Chief Planner Han Lei took a few design drawings and said to Tianming: "Commander." If you want to build an interstellar battleship, you need at least a dock covering an area of more than 10 square kilometers, and next to the dock, there must also be a large airport for mooring starships, if according to the standard of accommodating 100 starships, the size of the airport shall not be less than 100 square kilometers. ”

Tianming looked at the blueprint, the huge starship construction dock, with a large amount of lifting equipment inside. and welding equipment, the construction is more complex than a starship, after all, this is where starships are built.

Tianming's face was full of embarrassment, such a complicated dock. Without three or four months, it can't be built at all.

He thought for a moment and said, "Old Han, if you want to dock, I'll help you build the main body of the building." I probably won't be able to install the internal equipment for you, after all, I can't do all the work. ”

"I know. Commander, we have professional dock design experts in this area, the dock manufacturing workers can ask the state for a batch, you just need to provide us with materials, solve some problems encountered in the construction process, and most of the work will be handed over to us, and we can build the starship dock. ”

Tianming nodded, "That's fine, then let's get busy." ”

The so-called starship construction dock, in a sense, is actually a super-large module assembly machine, and Tianming only needs to build the shell of this super-large module assembly machine.

A month later, the Starship Manufacturing Dock was successfully constructed.

Located next to the City of Dome Six, the dock covers an area of 11 square kilometers, is built at a height of more than 200 meters, and is made of all black steel materials. The middle of the building is full, which is the factory area for the construction of the starship and the living area of the workers, where all the 3D printers and module assembly machines are placed, producing various types of parts.

In the center of the top of the dock, there is a glass skylight, the skylight can be opened, under the skylight, is the starship's construction platform, after the starship is built on the construction platform, the elevator under the construction platform will lift the starship to the top of the dock, open the top skylight, the starship can directly start the engine, fly into space.

The biggest difficulty in the construction of the dock is that the load-bearing capacity requirements can reach the million-ton lift, as well as the top of several cranes with a lifting capacity of more than 10,000 tons, which is not difficult for Tianming, a large number of strong black steel materials can be used, two or three days, the two biggest problems were solved by Tianming.

Standing on the huge starship construction platform, Han Lei said excitedly: "Commander, the dockyard is almost completed, and the other work is estimated to be completed in only 3 or 4 months, and if the design work is completed quickly, the starship will be able to start construction in six months at the earliest." ”

The design of the starship was jointly completed by Bai Yunfei and Wu Ke, and after receiving the task, they are now working intensively, as long as their design is approved, the starship can start the construction process immediately.

Tianming shook his head and said, "Six months, it's really slow, okay, the rest of the work is left to you, and my task has basically been completed." ”

It will take a while for the starship to be built, and there is no need to build the starship anchoring the airport, so Tianming ordered people to start the airport design work, and the airport construction was included in the later pre-completion project.

……

On October 30, Earth time, Tianming brought the last group of workers with more than 300,000 people to Red Giant.

Coupled with the staff who were brought to Red Giant some time ago, now, the number of people working at Red Giant has broken through the 5 million mark and reached 5.01 million.

How to better arrange the work of these people, the Red Giant Pioneer Bureau held a meeting.

The full name of the Pioneer Bureau is the "Red Giant Interstellar Pioneer Administration", which has been established for more than 7 months, and is responsible for the transformation of the Red Giant.

The director of the development bureau is Li Ping, the person in charge of the base, and there are ten deputy directors: Han Lei, chief planner of the Construction Planning Department, Wang Hanchang, director of the Personnel Management Department, Peng Rui, director of the Logistics Management Department, Gu Yimin, director of the National Liaison Department, Liu Jun, director of the Planet Security Department, Zhang Chao, director of the Air Purification Department, Elder Maijia of the Blue Star Management Department, Zhao Xin, Minister of the Ministry of Electric Power, Ji Sibo, Minister of the Propaganda Department, and Zhang Ruihua, Minister of the Scientific Research Department.

In addition, at the meeting, there were also Long Mingcheng, the leader of the guidance group, Yan Boliang, Mu Jun and others, who sat together for a meeting, adding up to more than 40 people.

Tianming sat at the top of the conference table, listened to the advice of these experts, and made decisions.

Li Ping, director of the Development Bureau, took stock: "Commander, in addition to the 300,000 scientific research experts belonging to the Scientific Research Department, the 10,000 military personnel of the Planetary Security Department, the 10,000 purification station staff of the Air Purification Department, the 300,000 workers who are building docks and interstellar warships, and the staff of the Logistics Department, the Electric Power Department, the Propaganda Department and other departments...... Of the 5.01 million people, 4.01 million are directly involved in the development of the planet. Although most of these people have only recently come to Red Giant, after more than 7 months of hard work by the early staff, our pioneering work has made great progress. ”

"First of all, the number of our bases, from 10 to 78, the new bases, there are 32 agricultural bases, 36 new personnel settlements, and 126 supply stations, in addition to the supply stations are slightly smaller, agricultural bases and new settlements, the area is not less than 10 square kilometers, each base can accommodate more than 50,000 people, and have built an ecosystem and oxygen circulation system, the energy system is sufficient, the materials are sufficient, allowing personnel to work and live in the new base for a long time."

"Secondly, the number of our pioneer team, from 5036, increased to 12842, after the allocation of personnel, the average number of pioneers per pioneer team is 258 people, because we do not limit the number of people, now some large pioneer team has more than 1000 people, this large development team has a clear division of labor, can use a variety of engineering vehicles, and even has a certain ability to build a new base independently, the work efficiency is very high, I heard that in the city of the dome No. 1, There is a development team with more than 1,000 people, and 100,000 performance points are obtained in one day. ”

"100,000 performance points? So efficient? One person said in surprise.

One performance point is equal to 100RMB, and 100,000 performance points are equal to 10 million RMB.

"That's right," Peng Rui, the head of the logistics department, nodded, "But this also makes our statistical work not very easy to do, because this kind of large-scale pioneer team can do a lot of work, not only brick making, building bases, building houses, but also building roads, material transportation, everything can be done, there are many aspects to be counted, but it is easy to miss, because some work does not belong to their task category, and the guide statistician is not good at giving performance points, that is to say, they have overfulfilled the task." ”

"This is inevitable," Han Lei interjected: "During this time, several of our vehicle factories have successively produced a large number of air purification vehicles, brick-making trucks, brick pressing trucks, transport vehicles, power generation vehicles, logistics vehicles, plus we have imported a large number of electrically powered road rolling trucks, mixer trucks, bulldozers, cranes, excavators and other engineering vehicles from the country, more than 20 kinds of engineering equipment, in the process of planet development, 100% mechanization has been achieved, and the work efficiency has been greatly improved. It's not an exaggeration for a large pioneer team to earn 100,000 performance points a day. ”

Peng Rui shook his head and said with a wry smile: "This is the problem we are facing now, the work efficiency of the development team has improved too quickly, some tasks that originally took a week to complete before can now be completed in only one or two days, and some work even has the situation of 'rushing to do work', and there have been several contradictions." In addition, I am worried that the performance points we have to spend will become a huge number in the future, and there may not be a way to convert them into actual wages or remuneration in the future. ”
