As the car drove along, the rugged mountain road had been bulldozed and paved with an eight-lane concrete road, and large trucks often pulled truckloads full of steel to pass by.

Some muck trucks are overloaded, and a lot of dirt will be spilled on this road for a long time, making the road bumpy.

The city's sanitation workers have not thought about cleaning up the dirt and stones falling on this road, but this road is basically open to large trucks and muck trucks 24 hours a day, and even if the road is cleared, it will soon be covered with a layer of dirt.

Thanks to the highly stable chassis of the Rolls-Royce Phantom, even through this relatively rough section, it is almost as if it were walking on flat ground.

This former mountain road has long been full of traffic, and at the end of the road, a large base still under construction comes into view.

There are constantly workers busy in it, and the area here is very vast, about 5,000 acres, and there is already a large control tower under construction in the center.

The control tower is about 20 stories high, similar to the dispatch console of an airport, and it looks very magnificent and domineering.

Because its own construction difficulty is not as strong as that of the Datang Technology Headquarters Building, Tianhua Infrastructure, which is fully under construction, is basically being built at a speed of two floors a day.

The reason why many projects are slow is entirely because the money is not enough, since Party A has been delayed, then Party B is naturally a foreign grinder, slowly dragging it down.

But if you give enough money, it's completely different, for an old construction company like Tianhua Infrastructure, when the money is in place, the workers are naturally working hard.

When the wages are high, then grind foreign workers?

If it does not exist, the origin has analyzed the shortest time that Tianhua Infrastructure can complete the project in the state of full start, and the legal department will extend it by two weeks as an agreement according to this minimum time when drawing up the contract.

If it is overworked, it is a violation, and the grinding of foreign workers is at most two more weeks, in the case of such a large number of outside orders, finish it early and take the next order early, who grinds foreign workers is the enemy of the management.

"Boss, that building is taller than our headquarters, and it's so powerful and domineering." At this time, Ye Chengcheng saw the building through the car window and sighed.

"That's natural, after all, it's a space base, and if it's small, you can't even work at the airport." Ye Fan also opened his mouth and smiled.

This space base will become a land-based starport, where some parts of the space battleship will be transported before the ion engines that can break out of the gravitational sphere are installed on a large scale.

In normal times, this space base would be used as an ordinary airport, and in the eyes of the outside world, it is a large airport.

In Ye Fan's eyes, the airport is just used to hide people's eyes, and its real role is to take off and land large air warships here when the mining spacecraft returns.

Today's Datang Heavy Industries has the ability to make a 500,000-ton large air battleship, but before the breakthrough in ion engine technology, it is still not suitable for such a large battleship, and it is not necessary.

His space-based weapons, as well as the twenty steel armors in Datang Technology, already have the ability to dominate a region.

In the future, there will be more space-based weapons, and in the event of a large-scale battle, the enemy's nuclear weapons can be destroyed in a nuclear bomb silo in an instant, so that even the integration of global resources will no longer be a dream.

Large warships, the deterrent effect of which is much greater than it actually is. Jiangsu Literature Network

"Boss, what a big deal, such a big place, and this kind of mountain road, is it used as an airport?" Tang Xue also sighed at this time.

"After all, our Datang Technology is poor, where can we make money, just plug in to make more money, after all, the aviation industry is also relatively profitable." Ye Fan said lightly.

Tang Xue suddenly glanced at Ye Fan, Datang Technology can be said to be a technology company with the most cash flow, if Datang Technology is still poor, then there is no technology company in China that can be called rich.

Cai Kun drove around the neighborhood a few times, and Ye Fan found that the runway of the space base had been paved, and at the back of the runway, there was a huge building thirty meters high and fifty meters wide, like a semicircular wall, enclosing most of the space base.

After the establishment of the space base, the first to fifth floors will be used as a reception for tourists, and will also be opened to some businesses as shops.

But five floors up, it will be closed to the public, and there will be storage of parts and components for various large warships.

After the mining spacecraft returns, these parts will be assembled on the runway, and the large floating platform of the "Nantianmen Project" will also rise from the Pacific Ocean to form a powerful force deterrent.

The universe is so messy, isn't it fragrant to engage in a flying fortress and a large warship to defend the earth or something?

The car drove six kilometers all the way, and it was more remote, and the lane was reduced from 8 lanes to 4 lanes.

Because the launch center has not yet completed the preliminary planning, there has not yet been a large-scale construction here, and there will be a few large trucks full of dirt passing by.

Compared with the space base, the area of the launch center can be said to be half smaller, about 3,000 acres, because it is only used to launch rockets, but it does not need to be so large.

At present, the thrust of the ion engine cannot fly out of the earth's gravitational sphere, and the anti-gravity engine can only reach the top of the gravitational sphere, that is, it cannot rise again.

The electromagnetic propulsion engine, which can only be used in the vacuum environment of space, provides little thrust on Earth

So for now, it is still necessary to rely on solid-fuel rockets to fly out of the gravitational circle, and the rockets will carry large mining spacecraft at that time.

When these mining ships come back, the rockets can be completely eliminated and no longer used.

In one corner of the launch center, a circular, six-storey building was erected, and the appearance was full of technology.

In it, there are 500 outstanding elites in the aerospace profession.

Some of them are graduates from prestigious aerospace design schools, and some are researchers who have never met in research institutes and come here to show their talents.

The car slowly drove into the parking lot behind the building, and after being stable, Ye Fan and his party also got out of the car and walked towards the inside of the building.

Around the launch center, a three-meter-high barbed wire fence has been fenced, and there are a large number of security guards from Datang Technology patrolling the surroundings, which looks like a military base.

Needless to say, they are all legally armed with guns, but they are only pistols, and they cannot be equipped with weapons above the pistol.
