Chapter 11 The Fool Moves the Mountain
After returning to the school and making sure that each culture tank was safe and sound, and that the temperature in the culture tank was well controlled, Nie Peng moved them back to the laboratory, put the bacteria in the box one by one, and moved them back to the moon.
Nie Peng, who was teleporting back and forth, gradually felt physically exhausted, especially the weightlessness every time he came back from the moon, and even his waist was sore.
When all 5 culture tanks were in place, Nie Peng already felt that his waist and knees were sore. Fortunately, he often maintained the habit of riding before, and his cardiopulmonary function was still slightly stronger than that of ordinary people. Otherwise, he is already panting at the moment.
It seems like it's time to customize a fitness plan.
Before the building manager closed the door, Nie Peng rushed back to the dormitory, and sent an email to the Swiss Biologics Research Center, where the trial production of Elaprase was successful, with an online translation accompanied by his broken English, to try to ask for photos of some benign mutations of the strains.
The academic journal that introduced the success of Elaprase's research has long since been torn apart by him.
Go to bed after finishing work.
。。。。。。。。。
Nie Peng, who came to the company early in the morning, found out that he was alone in the office, and even wondered if the eight o'clock clock he had set should be postponed.
After the morning, Chen Tuan and several people returned to the unit one after another. Nie Peng looked at the sketches of the base that he had drawn, which already had a prototype, and felt that this class was really relaxed and comfortable.
Chen Tuan entered the door and saw Nie Peng sitting at the table writing and drawing, and said apologetically:
"A few people drank too much last night, and after you left, you went to supper again, and you didn't rest until the early morning, and your brain was clouded."
After that, put a boxed lunch on Nie Peng's table:
"I bought it downstairs and tried it."
For his irresponsible attitude, Nie Peng didn't bother to say anything, anyway, he was the legal person, and the company was yellow and he suffered a loss.
Looking at the golden fried buns in the lunch box, decorated with black sesame seeds, Nie Peng felt that he was a little hungry, and unceremoniously occupied all the fried buns, and Chen Tuan couldn't ask for any of them.
After eating steamed buns, an email was sent from the International Meteorite Network, which basically meant that after the appraisal of meteorite experts, he was given two meteorites at a starting price of 3,700,4300 US dollars without commission, and after the auction, a commission of up to 1% of the transaction price was drawn.
If you agree, you can send the original meteorite, and the official website will auction it, etc.
Nie Peng calculated that with the current Sino-US exchange rate, the two meteorites can be sold for at least more than 50,000 yuan, plus the 20,000 yuan deposit he has in hand, he can more or less start construction on the moon base.
Just do it, take a leave with Chen Tuan, and go to the engineering equipment company to buy excavation equipment.
Although there will be a cash remittance after the meteorite is sold, but at present, the funds that can be used are the 20,000 yuan, after turning around in the special equipment store, Nie Peng looked at the invoice and stopped the urge to scold his mother:
Hand-held internal combustion rock drill, 4000 handful.
Single mechanical support column, 500 oceans one, bought 8, and 4000.
An 8 kW diesel generator, 2000.
In addition, there are lights, dust sprayers, protective nets, isolation suits...
Twelve thousand oceans went out. Just to dig a hole.
Fortunately, the one-time purchase amount was a lot, and the boss sent a truck with a smile to help Nie Peng pull it back to the garage, and Nie Peng was in pain all the way.
After unloading the equipment in the garage, he counted the objects in front of him, except for the single support column, which can be placed on the moon for a long time, the other equipment needs to be brought with him every time he excavates, and he takes it away after excavation.
Thinking that he could only carry a volume of one cubic meter at a time, Nie Peng felt that he was playing with his life.
It's easy to do in the early stage, after the excavated stone is broken, drag it out and throw it aside, but as the excavation progress deepens, under the squeeze of the surrounding rock mass, the stone will become more and more difficult to chisel, if it encounters a large, volume of more than one cubic momentum, then he must first find a way to break the stone into small pieces, and then teleport back to the earth with the equipment, and then teleport the stone away.
And then teleport back with the device.
Nie Peng calculated, if he wanted to dig a cave five meters long and wide and four meters high, he would need to teleport at least 200 round-trips, and if he was extremely unlucky, he would encounter a whole rock mass.
That can't be done without three or four hundred back and forth.
Move a vacuum pressure storage tank to the moon and store equipment? Don't make a fuss, the high-pressure chamber with a volume of 2 cubic meters, starting at 400,000, is already the largest volume of sealed tanks he can carry, and no matter how large the equipment is, it must be assembled separately.
The volume of one cubic meter is really not too big. Nie Peng thought bitterly.
According to the instructions, after pouring gasoline into the rock drill, Nie Peng put on an isolation suit, picked up a gasoline can, and teleported to the moon. As soon as the front foot left, the back foot of the mobile phone placed on the table rang, and the caller ID was Chen Tuan.
Nie Peng was holding a rock drill on the moon, struggling with the moon rock, and Chen Tuan was sitting at his desk with the phone, waiting for him to connect.
I've made 10 phone calls in a while.
For no other reason, the Korean side increased the number of orders from the original 200,000 to 700,000, which is certainly a good thing for the newly established company, with an increase in turnover and a smoother operation of the company.
It's just that in Chen Tuan's view, the cost of a single delivery of 200,000 goods and 700,000 goods is the same.
He pondered whether it would be too risky to send out the goods at one time and save more than 3,000 costs:
After all, the new additional order of 500,000 has not yet been deposited.
Nie Peng's phone call has not been answered, and Chen Tuan simply stopped calling. After weighing the long-term cooperative relationship between the Korean side and his father's company, it was decided to send another 500,000 goods to South Korea before the freighter left the port in the evening.
There shouldn't be any problems.
Generally speaking, everyone will have a little bit of luck, which is a very common phenomenon, and everyone will be more optimistic about some misfortunes, thinking that the probability of these misfortunes happening is very low.
It's like thinking that you are like a darling of God, so many people in the world, how can you not be that unlucky guy.
However, people know that smoking is not good for their health, but almost no smoker believes that they will get cancer early because of smoking, and that someone will get sick, but not themselves.
Drunk driving is strictly checked, but there are still many people who drink and drive because they feel that they will never be involved in such a tragic thing.
For example, if you buy a wealth management product, you can't resist the temptation and buy a high-interest wealth management product under the recommendation of the financial manager of Pi Lupi, and the corresponding risk will be high. At this point, you think: even if something happens, how can so many people happen to fall on you.
And then it really came true, resulting in the death of no body.
Since Chen Tuan made the decision and determined the direction, the employees naturally worked at full speed, especially with the encouragement of the boss's hospitality last night.
They have planted a subconscious in their hearts that efficient work is to fight for welfare.
The idea is true, and the seeds of fighting spirit are also placed very well, but the direction of effort is wrong, and the harder you work, the more embarrassing it becomes.
。。。。。。
Nie Peng dug the cave for an afternoon, and he originally imagined the maximum amount of work, but in the actual operation, it was not so difficult to find that these rock blocks composed of rock chips and vitreous chips. Under the impact of the rock drill, it turned into a piece of gravel, and from the cross-sectional composition of these gravels, there were traces of dissolution and extrusion.
Based on the topography of this crater, it is not difficult to determine that this is the melting of the rock caused by a meteorite impact.
Digging all the way, advancing all the way, after finding that the stones scattered on the ground were not much heavier than wood, Nie Peng even went home to get a shovel, dug a section, and cleared out the gravel for a section. As the tunnel deepened, the broken stone was deliberately controlled to the size of his fist.
If it's big, it takes up space, and if it's small, it's hard to clean up.
When the three-meter-long tunnel, the size of a corridor in an ancient man's courtyard, was dug up, Nie Peng stopped, looked at the sunlight diffusing from the entrance of the cave, and turned off the rock drill.
In his vision, the base in the mountain is to be built at room temperature and pressure, so the mountain shell must be able to support the expansion pressure inside the mountain, so that the sealed cabin will not be blown out by the vacuum, so the harder the mountain shell is difficult to excavate, the better the stability of the base in the future.
Looking at the three-meter-long tunnel, Nie Peng felt that the internal pressure that the mountain could bear was enough for his own use.
The next step was to dig out the interior space and remove the debris from the ground, and Nie Peng began to estimate the amount of space that needed to be excavated and where the support beams would be installed.
Considering that he could only carry 1 cubic meter of items at a time, Nie Peng gave up the plan of customizing the cylinder-shaped sealed cabin.
He didn't want to build the base into a space station, a big cylinder that could be put together one by one.
After calculating the equipment he needed to bring next time, Nie Peng picked up the rock drill and gasoline barrel and returned to Earth.
Dragged his tired body back home, it was already eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, Nie Peng went to the moon at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and has been busy until now. I can't lift my tired arms.
This is the phenomenon of gravity contrast. For example, when a person comes out of the water and returns to normal gravity, the person's self-adjustment system is not able to adapt to the surrounding gravity environment so quickly, so the body will have an adaptation stage, in which the body will feel sinking and unable to jump.
This is also why astronauts who have stayed in space for more than 10 days are carried out of the capsule by the staff when they return to the ground and exit the capsule, instead of walking upright.
Coming home so late in a row, my parents were already a little used to it, Nie Peng took out a loaf of bread from the refrigerator, ate it in two bites, and took a casual shower and fell asleep.
At this moment, in the port north of Qi City, a cargo ship bound for South Korea has just left the port.
