Chapter Eighty-Five: No One Has an Opinion, Right?
The porter has been swinging around the Pacific Ocean in that big jar for more than ten days.
The speed of more than ten kilometers per hour is not fast, and when the power is out, it has to float up and unfold the solar panel to charge, which also takes some time, but for more than ten days, the distance it travels is also considerable.
It's just that it doesn't go in a straight line, but it zigzags forward, it needs to be far from the international shipping lane, a place where no one goes and no one cares, and the best is because the environment is not suitable, so no one goes.
After looking for more than ten days, I kept going around and around a lot of islands, and then I found a suitable place.
This place doesn't even have a name, only a number, and the information belongs to the federal side, but the other party only declared sovereignty through the location of the satellite map, and no one came to the island, because it is very unsuitable for ships to navigate, and there are reefs everywhere.
This place is so good for getting things done.
And this island is not big, only a radius of more than 100 meters, but the terrain is not low, there are reefs, cliffs and beaches, and the tide will not be submerged.
There are also dense trees on the top, which are supposed to grow from the seeds excreted by seabirds, and the branches and leaves of the trees shade the sky, which is very suitable for hiding something.
There are a lot of available resources in the places below the water surface that are not deep, and they can be used after extraction, that is, the resources are not too much, but the initial mining and construction will definitely be very slow, after all, it has no large-scale equipment to command, and it can only be used slowly with small equipment, which is enough.
After determining this location, the porter sent Dong Qingchen the coordinate information and the basic resources investigation report.
On the side of the Deep Space Science and Technology Studio, Dong Qingchen walked in the waist-deep sea water and looked at the island in front of him.
The porters had already circled the island several times, not only to get a clear view of the underwater scene, but also to see the island with a drone, and then made this accurate 3D model.
Dong Qingchen raised the island with both hands, and looked at the reefs that were about to emerge under the water, surrounding a large area of the island, this is a natural protective array, which is comparable to Qimen Dunjia.
Far from the busy international waterways, far away from the tourist waterways, even the explorers don't go here, so it can be said that there is absolutely no one here.
"I'm going to requisition this place, no one has an opinion, right? If you have an opinion, please raise your hand! The porter stood on the beach, Dong Qingchen said through its loudspeaker.
Except for the sound of the waves crashing against the reef and the sea breeze blowing through the trees, there was no reaction on the island, and no one seemed to have an opinion.
"It's safe, and there's no objection, so be it, Hatsuyuki, and order the porters to expand the base."
In the studio, after joking and sitting back in his seat, Dong Qingchen gave an order.
"Understood."
Unfolding the base, speaking tall, is actually a fuel tank transporter floating up and then unloading to a small island.
Multi-purpose engineering robots can also work, Dong Qingchen's special multi-legged reptile type, plus the porter robot, after a while, those materials and ultra-high-precision 3D printers were moved to the island, and then began to assemble.
The first work was to modify a few engineering robots with materials and printers to adapt them to work on the seabed, at least underwater thrusters, and various small-scale mining equipment.
However, most of the initial work still had to be done on this small island, and as far as the current situation was concerned, Dong Qingchen did not have the ability to build equipment underwater, at least he did not even have a dry underwater space.
And the first confined space must be the transformation of the fuel tank, the space with a diameter of three meters and a length of ten meters is not big or small, and he needs to transform it into a mobile underwater base, or a submarine.
It's a pity that the strength of this fuel tank is not enough, at most it can dive up to 100 meters, but it is enough in the early stage, it is inaccessible here, and it is very safe to go 100 meters underwater.
After determining this place, Dong Qingchen also breathed a sigh of relief, it is always good to have a start.
The only regret is that don't expect anything to help here in the early stage, the first base needs a period of stable development.
However, compared to the slow development of the real world, the situation on the Internet is changing rapidly.
Previously, the federal government explained the fire in the space agency's ground command center, but many people didn't believe it.
Now many equipment and processes have the auxiliary supervision of the intelligent system, if there is a situation of personnel misoperation, the intelligent system will send a reminder for the first time, and you will explain the error of a person's operation, which is a bit too ridiculous.
Although the Federation speaks of a series of personnel operating errors.
Sure enough, someone came out to break the news within a few days, and this mysterious whistleblower seems to know a lot of inside information, and his information is very well protected, and no one knows who he is.
The revelations of such a mysterious person are generally not very credible, but the evidence he came up with is irrefutable.
For example, the employees who claimed to have been fired, they were not fired, but were transferred to another place, a secret place, to continue their tasks.
Even though they've been promoted and paid higher salaries, their mission remains the same, it's still about studying aliens, only this time they're no longer in direct contact.
The connection is definitely still going to be connected, but it will not be as bold as last time, but it will become a small-scale contact, and it is separate from the main system, and their main job has become how to figure out Pluto directly.
This series of information on the Internet exploded, and the world suddenly became lively.
"I'll just say, I'll say, we are absolutely deceived, there are really aliens in this world!"
"I just want to know where the money for these activities comes from, why can't I see it on the financial statements?"
"Are there really aliens? Are we going to be destroyed? ”
"We want the truth! We want the truth! ”
"These are all foreshadowings, just a few days ago the federation passed a new bill to speed up the construction of the new International Space Station and the Mars spacecraft at the same time, there are many reasons, but it seems that this is the most critical!"
"But a spaceship can fly to Mars and not to Pluto, right? It will take at least ten years to fly there, which is just! ”
"It is said that the Federation's Pluto probe has not sent back information for a long time, was it killed by aliens?"
"I don't know anything, I just know that the Alliance's Shenzhou space station is about to be completed, 1500 meters in length, obediently, spacecraft berthing platform, fuel supply station, scientific research center, spacecraft maintenance station, artificial simulation gravity, space construction workshop, etc., why is it called a space station, it is correct to call it a spaceport!"
But it's true, compared to those ethereal things, the soon-to-be-completed Shenzhou space station is something that can be seen really, and it can be seen directly with the naked eye without even other equipment.
Unlike other spacecraft that can only reflect one point of light, its outline is already relatively clear, not to mention at night, it can be seen in the daytime when the weather is clear.
Its size and reflectivity directly guarantee that it is the absolute protagonist in the sky.
Of course, the moon is still the brightest cub, but everyone is used to seeing the moon, so a new cub has replaced it.
The moon is already an expired Internet celebrity, and the Shenzhou space station is the new star.
Bright star.
No one will object, a new era of astronautics has come.
