The landing force, which had already arrived at the designated position, collected supplies as quickly as possible, often sending the first drop pod away, and the other slowly landed.

The soldiers delivered the container to the designated location, and the engineers took out the special building materials brought from the earth from the container, and dismantled the container into steel bars thicker than their fingers.

Of course, this thing just looks like rebar, but it's actually a special low-temperature alloy.

When all the containers were emptied, a large number of construction materials had been piled up around the inclined shaft, and all kinds of construction vehicles were parked.

At 0:00 on July 26, 2032, under the order of Jizhou, the backfilling of the inclined shaft officially began, and the engineers first inserted the steel bars into the bottom of the well, and then mixed the special cement and ore together and stirred evenly, and finally poured into the bottom of the well one by one.

In this way, the inclined shaft nearly 100 meters deep was filled in just two hours, and it did not stop after exceeding the ground, and it was still poured truck by car.

At the same time, the engineers surrounded the wellhead with the molds that had been prepared for a long time, and then filled the gaps between the molds, and a platform with a height of two meters and a side length of ten meters was initially completed.

Next, the engineers set up camp near the platform, found a fairly flat open space, dragged the remaining containers over and put them together, and then connected the containers to form a standard Martian camp.

After a full day, the concrete strength reached the standard, and after another full day, the concrete strength finally reached its peak.

The most crucial step came, the big guy who arrived on Mars with the fleet began to move towards the North Pole of Mars, and after arriving, he was suspended over the North Pole.

Since the arrival of the fleet on Mars, this space station has been orbiting Mars, and it is not flying in the direction of the equator, but from the south pole to the north pole, and it has been flying in circles and circles, so its movement has not attracted anyone's attention.

The space station's big head rushed up and down with the small head, silently aligning with the North Pole, and then the head popped out silently, dragging its long tail and slowly falling towards Mars.

Finally someone noticed the space station, and the news spread quickly, and it didn't take long for the Leishan to also receive the news, Ye Han rushed to the bridge to take a look, and his jaw was almost dislocated: "Isn't this a rail elevator?" ”

The head that pops out is the ground end, the middle section is the low dock, and the wide butt is the synchronous orbit space station.

The others rushed to the bridge one after another, and their eyes widened when they saw this scene.

He Lu exclaimed in surprise: "Which one is this, which one is this?" ”

There are three known rail elevators, two on Earth and one on Callisto.

These three elevators are in the hands of Beidu and Washington respectively, and they are important air-ground transportation hubs, and it is impossible for either side to let go.

Moreover, the three orbital elevators are all obvious landmarks, and everyone is very familiar with the appearance of the orbital elevators, none of them are the same as in front of them, and it is impossible to combine the space station, the low-orbit dock and the ground end into a large spaceship!

Ye Han frowned and said, "Is there any news from the flagship?" ”

Luo Qi shook his head: "No." ”

He Lu said indignantly: "What the hell is going on? Why don't you let us know about anything? ”

Ye Han also had the same doubts, but as the commander of a ship, he couldn't vent his emotions regardless of it, but had to appease the dissatisfaction of others: "If you don't say above, there must be a reason, besides, even if you say it, can you still go over to help?" Our mission is to protect the transport ship, not to build a Mars base with the engineers! ”

Hearing Ye Han say this, everyone stopped talking, but only they knew what they thought in their hearts.

After a while, He Lu said softly: "Can the polar region also place a rail elevator?" ”

Luo Qi instinctively looked at Ye Han, Ye Han smiled slightly, glanced at Luo Qi, and signaled him not to make a sound.

Luo Qi pursed his lips and finally said nothing.

At this time, the ground terminal has flown more than 100 kilometers away from the main body, and the space station has finally launched the low-orbit dock, and the ground terminal and the low-orbit dock have flown straight to the north pole of Mars.

Everyone was surprised to find that the ground end and the low-orbit dock were equipped with propulsion devices, and the speed of the flight was getting faster and faster.

More than two hours later, halfway through the ground end, the propeller was steered and changed from propulsion to braking.

After another two hours, when the surface end was close to the Martian atmosphere, its speed had slowed down, and it slowly descended at a very low rate, until half an hour later, the surface end fell to the ground.

The engineers who had been waiting for several hours rushed up, grabbed the ground end with various tools, and worked together to stuff it into the reserved pedestal in the center of the platform.

Most of the ground end is tucked under the platform, and then the locking device locks the ground end firmly...... If the engineer looks up, he can see the cable above swaying gently in the wind, which is called a relaxation.

At this time, the space station, which was suspended more than 20,000 kilometers away, moved, with the ground end as the center of the circle, heading towards the equator of Mars.

The ground end fixed on the platform also slowly falls down with the inclination of the cable, and it is foreseeable that when the cable is completely flattened, the ground end is not a vertical platform, but lies on the platform.

He Lu reacted the fastest, slapped his forehead and shouted: "Understood, I understood!" ”

There were also a few bridge officers who reacted quickly, and they also figured out how to place the rail elevator in the polar regions, and they all talked about it, and they all admired the person who came up with this solution.

Luo Qi looked at Ye Han again, Ye Han smiled slightly, and shook his head slightly at Luo Qi.

The solution was indeed something he came up with, but he was long past the time when he was young and frivolous, and he would never declare himself to be the person everyone talked about at this time.

Luo Qi suddenly said: "Just such a rail elevator, put it in the North Pole, is the Yankees willing?" ”

He Lu said: "I definitely don't want to, it should be some kind of agreement reached with the Yankees...... Captain, what do you say? ”

"It should be, or it may be to jointly develop the North Pole first, and then develop the South Pole when the time is ripe."

"That's interesting." Luo Qi sneered, "After the base is built, whose is it?" ”

"Look at what the agreement says!" He Lu said, "If the Yankees are not convinced, let them build their own rail elevator and install it in Antarctica." ”

", if they have this ability, can they still buy a rail elevator with us?" Luo Qi looked disdainful.

"Maybe the Yankees have already bought it and are waiting to be delivered!" Ye Han touched his chin and followed suit.

"That's a good feeling!" He Lu smiled happily, "It was originally a one-shot deal, but it turned into a business." ”

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Ye Han's mind: "Is this the rail elevator in Europe?" ”
