Chapter 493: A new project for an ice mining company
"Employees of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Brigades, please line up at the No. 1 landing hatch!"
"Employees of the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth brigades, please go to the second landing hatch and line up to enter!"
"Employees of the ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth brigades, please go to the third landing hatch and line up to enter!"
……
The soft electronic sound spread throughout the huge space on the top floor, and in the shadow of the huge emergency spaceship, countless workers wearing biochemical nano protective suits lined up neatly and entered the spacecraft in an orderly manner.
Time passed, and it was more than four months since Luo Yuan last came to Earth to obtain the energy core of the giant beast, and humans were once again preparing to re-enter the earth and collect the corpse of this giant beast.
In fact, after losing the energy core, this giant beast only lasted for two days, and it was already completely dead, and the host Luo Yuan didn't want to do it himself every time and develop dependence, and at the same time, he didn't want a large number of people who were unemployed to become idle again. As a result, the work of collecting corpses naturally fell to the engineering company that had lost its job again since the ice mining project.
In order to do a good job in the logistics of this operation, a large number of factories have been working day and night, and at the same time, some new research results have also been applied in this equipment manufacturing.
It's just that the project date set by the original engineering company has been delayed again and again.
It's not that the equipment can't be produced, but the technology is updated too fast!
With a complete Boxing industrial system, you can explore and learn, especially with the opening of the nanomaterial factory, even if there is a serious shortage of human technicians, the technical level of human beings is still a thousand miles a day, almost every few days, new results will be produced, every other month, the technology will be updated, and human science and technology are almost like an explosion, rapid development.
In many cases, when the equipment has just been produced, it is found that these technologies have been outdated, and they are completely garbage and unsightly.
The departure date of the engineering company has been delayed from the original one month, to two months, and then to three months, and now it has been more than four months.
……
The crowd outside the spacecraft was densely packed, lined up in a neat phalanx, and Cui Weichuan beckoned his team members to his team phalanx.
"All of them, start counting!"
"Report to the captain, the first squadron, there are 300 people in the answer, and there are 300 people!"
"Report to the captain, the second squadron, three hundred and one, three hundred and one!"
Every worker here is a reservist, almost all of them have experience in military training, and the management of the engineering company is completely militarized.
Because in the ice mining project, Cui Weichuan performed well and was promoted, and now he is the squadron leader, and the number of management personnel has also expanded from 100 to 300.
Seeing that it was his turn in a blink of an eye, Cui Weichuan hurriedly puffed up his chest and said loudly: "Report to the captain, the second squadron, there are three hundred people, but there are two hundred and ninety-nine people, and one person asks for leave." ”
"How can someone take a leave of absence? Explain why? The captain frowned, a little puzzled.
Since the last project, they have been unemployed for half a year, replaced by him, even if he is sick, he must report first, after all, this project is not at the door, but 600,000 kilometers away from the earth, the company will not for an employee, specifically to travel to and from the earth, this time missed, it basically means that the engineering company is dismissed, after all, the company also has strict discipline.
"There will be an adult exam in a few days, and that person has to prepare for the self-exam, and he will be a senior in high school before the end of the world, and he will delay his studies." Cui Weichuan explained succinctly.
"So that's the case, I hope he can do well, anyway, it's also from our brigade." The captain said with some embarrassment, now the learning atmosphere in Hope City is strong, and the countless free adult cram schools set up by the government are affected by this trend, many pre-apocalyptic students, and even young people who have worked for many years, have also picked up their textbooks again and fought hard for their future.
In today's society, there is a strict hierarchy of all resources focused on scientific research, which is vividly reflected in the size of the house allocated by the government for free.
Compared with the vast majority of ordinary people, there is only 9 square meters of housing per capita, and a research intern or assistant engineer can be allocated to 18 square meters, which is completely doubled, and if there is a spouse, the area will be doubled, as for the researcher (senior level) or senior engineer, the per capita can even reach 100 square meters, and it is also double if there is a spouse.
Don't look at him as the captain, but because this engineering company is still a temporary formation, it has not yet been established, and his family's housing area is still at an ordinary level, and the treatment is not as good as a few technicians who are temporarily transferred, and a family of three can only squeeze into a small room, which can make people breathless after staying for a long time.
But he didn't have the slightest dissatisfaction in his heart, society has never been equal, it was so before, and it is the same now, compared to the pre-apocalyptic time measured by money, now measured by knowledge, he feels more fair, if he is not old, he is no longer much studying, he is ready to consider re-entering the university, fortunately, there is still hope for his son.
"It's almost our turn, everyone is in place, land in the fifth module!" The captain looked at the speed of the team in front of him and said loudly.
Cui Weichuan led the team into the living cabin, and found that the living cabin was no longer as empty as before, for this mission, some modifications were made here, and a lot of safety seats were added, and the entire living cabin was arranged like a super-large conference room, which could seat more than 100,000 people at a time.
It didn't take long for him to follow the brigade to his place.
The safety device on the seat was exactly the same as in the house, and he was familiar with fastening the safety device, and suddenly his entire chest and abdomen were wrapped in soft material.
He noticed that the worker next to him seemed to be sitting and taking a deep breath, and couldn't help laughing: "Lao Lin, why are you still a little nervous, haven't you sat on it, there was no safety seat at that time." ”
"Squadron leader, I'm really a little, you said that this big guy, flying from space to earth, I feel suspenseful when I look at it, it's really unsteady." Lao Lin was a construction worker before the end of the world, and although he had been on this spaceship once during his migration, he still felt a little weak.
"This thing is made by aliens, and I am not afraid of space flight, and I am afraid of such a small distance, which is much safer than you take a car."
"Then I'd rather take the car, at least steadfastly." Lao Lin was stunned for a moment and said.
The two chatted for a while, the spaceship suddenly shook and began to move slowly, Cui Weichuan hurriedly swallowed what he was about to say, his face was a little pale, he didn't seem to be nervous, but in fact he also pinched a sweat, stayed on land for a lifetime, and rarely sat on the plane, and suddenly one day returned from space in a spaceship, which was not a good enjoyment.
Fortunately, everything went well, and there were no bumps on the way, until the sound of the radio came, and he suddenly realized that he had landed on Earth.
Cui Weichuan followed the team and was about to get out of the spaceship, but found that the person in front of him suddenly stopped.
"Oh my God, what's up ahead?"
"Could it be that the corpse of the mutant beast we are going to collect!"
"It's a mountain!"
Listening to the exclamations one after another, Cui Weichuan held back his curiosity and continued to maintain the order of the team, but fortunately, it didn't take long for the team to move forward again, and after a while, he saw an amazing scene in front of him.
Not far ahead, I saw a corpse like a hill, half-buried in the glacier.
Most of its corpse was covered in snow, but it was quite impressively large in size as you could tell from some of its exposed scales and half-claws.
He suppressed the urge to exclaim, and took a deep breath, now that he is the squadron leader, he must lead by example, but his eyes still can't help but glance at where from time to time, even if he has already been mentally prepared for this big project that has gathered nearly 50,000 people, and he has guessed the size of this giant beast, but it is still not as good as the realistic eleven.
Fortunately, in the first few days, all the preparations were done.
Thousands of engineering vehicles and large cutting equipment were sent off the spacecraft, and at the same time mobile nuclear power plants began to be built on the ice, today's engineering vehicles, are powered by electricity, with the breakthrough of nanomaterial technology, the technical shackles of batteries, has also been easily crossed, and now these engineering vehicles no longer have to drag a long cable.
For the next few days, workers have been erecting a lot of lights around the giant beast, setting up an emergency hospital on the site, equipment maintenance plant, and installing all-steel scaffolding, and people have to tie safety ropes to their bodies during construction, after all, this giant beast is too large to have safety measures, and it is easy to have accidents.
Cui Weichuan gets up every morning, he will put on a lead-plated nano biochemical protective suit, and circle around the giant beast, not only to satisfy curiosity, but also to exercise by the way, his behavior is not outstanding, around the giant beast, there are many onlookers all the time.
This lead-plated nano biochemical protective suit, although there is only a thin layer, makes people feel the slightest cold, plus it is connected to the helmet, it is fully enclosed, the cold wind outside is completely shielded, and the breathing is filled with portable oxygen.
Although it was a little inconvenient, no one dared to take off the helmet, not only because of the cold here, but also because of the terrible aura emitted by the isolation giant beast, I heard that a worker in a certain brigade did not listen to the warning a few days ago, and immediately fainted to the ground, and was in a coma for three days, and then woke up, and his spirit became a little crazy, and the whole person became abnormal.
Of course, these were rumors, but he hadn't seen the worker since that day, and that night, the captain also held a meeting to sternly warn him of this serious violation.
The preparations were made for five days, and in the early morning of the sixth day, the demolition team buried the explosives in the ice on the corpse of the giant beast, and after an explosion, a large amount of ice and snow suddenly slid down the surface of the corpse, and the magnificent giant beast finally revealed its true face.
Without snow and ice cover, it almost shrinks in a circle, but it feels even more shocking and daunting.
The silver-white scales on the whole body, shining in the light, seemed to be glowing, making people feel that this creature should not appear in the mortal world at all, but in myths and legends.
Its body, including its head, is buried under the ice, and it may not even be a third of the surface exposed, but its vertical height is still hundreds of meters, like a small mountain.
Cui Weichuan swallowed his saliva subconsciously, but no one paid attention to him, and everyone's eyes were deeply attracted by this terrifying and mysterious head.
With a sharp whistle, he was shaken, and when he came back to his senses, the project finally began.
