Chapter 095: Pioneering Team
Brave Enterprising!
When Liu Fei flew to the crowded and powerful spaceship, he couldn't help but be stunned, he had not left the Brave Endeavor for twenty days, but the place where the Brave Endeavor landed had completely changed.
It has become a huge construction site, and some construction machinery is in full swing.
With the Brave Endeavor as the core, a radius of one kilometer has been cleaned up, the silt and stagnant water have completely disappeared, replaced by some gravel, around the Brave Enterprising, scaffolding has been erected, under the scaffolding, there are actually some hardened ground, the Brave Enterprising that has fallen into the mud has actually risen, revealing the damaged parts that it thought were forced to land, it is clear that the damaged external structure of the Brave En(#6)mient has been prepared to be repaired, and it is progressing quickly.
If it weren't for the huge Brave Enterprising in front of him, Liu Fei would almost have thought that he was in the wrong place.
"Mr. Liu, please enter the main control room of the Brave Enterprising." When Liu Fei drove Zhu Rong to land, Burleigh's voice immediately sounded in the air.
Burleigh introduced the current situation to Liu Fei in detail.
It turned out that after Burleigh returned to the Brave Enterprise, he immediately prepared for the repair of the Brave Enterprise, and began to use the engineering mecha to clean up the surrounding silt and water to prevent the sludge and water from entering the damaged cabin.
While digging iron ore around, they simply built a base centered on the Brave Enterprising and prepared for a long-term stay.
Undoubtedly, Burleigh's decision was right, judging from the form in front of him, it is impossible to repair the Brave Endeavor in the short term, and building this place into a base can also resist aggression.
"How long can the current energy last?" This is Liu Fei's biggest concern, once the energy of the Brave Endeavor is exhausted, all work will stop.
"Mr. Liu, the energy of the Brave Endeavor can be maintained for at least two hundred years, or even longer, in fact, what we are facing is not the energy problem, our lack of energy is mainly due to the damage of the main engine during the forced landing, and in order to let the Brave Endeavor fly into the sky, the main engine must be repaired, of course, this is just one of many problems, we are not only energy problems now, but also some complex problems of the relationship between material composition, structure, technology, properties and performance, we now lack a lot of resources, They are interpenetrating and interpenetrating, for example, even repairing the outer shell of a spaceship will involve electronics, physics, expansion, smelting, chemistry, and so on......"
"Don't complicate things." Liu Fei frowned and interrupted Burleigh's words.
"To put it simply, we lack basic industry, even if it is a gasket or a special-shaped screw, we need to build a huge factory." Burleigh smiled wryly.
"Do we have the technology?"
"Yes, however, there are very few technologies that are really useful, this is not the Seven Star Fields, you can buy anything you want as long as you place an order, here, we have to make everything ourselves, I said at the beginning, this requires a large and complete industrial system to complete, and now we have nothing......"
"Then start from the most basic, use all the things that can be used, if you can't do it in one year, it will take two years, and if you can't do it in two years, it will take three years!" Liu Fei said word by word.
"Yes, there is no better way at the moment, as long as we don't want to let the Brave Enterprise take off, energy is not a problem, the auxiliary engine of the Brave Enterprise can meet the basic energy requirements, and, through the recent geological survey data, I will soon be able to find alternative energy sources, now a bit troublesome is the lack of some metals, although we have an inexhaustible supply of iron ore, but that can only make some of the most primitive machinery."
"Let's start with the most primitive manufacturing." Liu Fei nodded.
"Also, we are short of manpower now, we only have a total of fifty people, and many of us are unable to conduct scientific research, if we waste time on the primary project, let alone three years, even if it is three hundred years, we will not be able to repair the Brave Enterprising!"
"Well, if manpower is not a problem, the straight-line distance from here to Weijiaji is estimated to be about eighty kilometers, if you build a road to get there, how long will it take?"
"It depends on what level of road to build, our engineering mecha is very efficient, and the waste ore dug out and the slag after smelting can be paved, if it is just a simple sand and gravel road, it can be paved ten kilometers a day, and if the quality standard is a little higher, it can also be paved for at least five kilometers, eighty kilometers of distance, and it can be completed in twenty days at most."
"So fast?" Liu Fei couldn't help but be a little skeptical of the data provided by Burleigh.
"Hehe, Mr. Liu, I once mined on a planet, and the highest record was to repair twenty kilometers a day." Burleigh laughed.
"I remember that it took months for Drow to build a road, and some years to build." Liu Fei looked puzzled.
"No, no, Mr. Liu, can you compare with the seven star fields, first of all, the road surface of the seven star fields is very particular, in addition to load-bearing, it will also take into account pipelines, optoelectronics, monitoring, cables, etc., and most importantly, it is necessary not to destroy the environment and ecological balance, for the sake of an animal, it is necessary to build a channel, its cost and progress are not good compared with the road we are building now, our method is very simple, first use a hovering car to determine the route in the air, and then dig a deep trench directly along the line, and the floating head is piled on both sides, Then use the suspension truck to transport sand and slag to fill the deep trench to the height of the floating soil, a solid and simple road is completed, you don't underestimate this kind of road, dozens of tons of mecha will not be lower limit, I am worried about the manpower problem now......"
"Yes, yes, manpower is not a problem, but it is a problem that the people of the ideal star will not be able to drive those mechanical equipment."
"This is simple, we use the Brave Enterprising light brain for intelligent control, the line scan data, and then the Brave Enterprising main control light brain for remote control, the driver only needs to press the button according to the instructions of the main control light brain, for the sake of insurance, we can even set limits to avoid accidents caused by improper operation."
"Okay, you stop other work for the time being, first repair this road, when can we start work?"
"Considering that some of the equipment needs to be modified, such as the automatic loading and unloading of the hovering truck, the place needs to be expanded enough to stop all the hovering trucks...... There is no need to build a place to live, and it is not a problem for the brave Endeavor to live in a few thousand people...... By the way, what are we building roads for? ”
"Wei Jiaji, where Wei Xiong lives, has rebelled, in order to find the ore we need in the ideal star, we must support them to defeat the Utopian Republic, after this road is repaired, we can continue to provide them with weapons."
"Weapons...... Cold weapon? ”
"Can you make a hot weapon?"
"At present, there are difficulties, that is the need for a huge military industrial system, such as laser guns and the like, we can't produce it at all, just the problem of energy can't be solved, however, some ancient guns can be manufactured, of course, it will take a long time, just say that a simple bullet structure is very particular, by the warhead, cartridge case, propellant and primer four parts, the warhead is composed of a bullet core and a quilt, the primer is divided into two kinds, Berdan and Boxey, the shell material is generally brass, copper-clad steel and painted steel, The quilt material is generally brass, copper-clad steel and nickel, and the primer is generally made of brass. Generally, bullets will be ordinary bullets, empty cartridges, inert training bullets, dyed training bullets, microacoustic bullets, high-pressure bullets, empty tip bullets, armor-piercing bullets and tracer bullets. Large-caliber machine gun shells will have special types of shells such as armor-piercing shells, armor-piercing incendiary shells, high-explosive shells, double-headed bullets, etc., and there are even more types of shotguns......"
"You're making bullets?" Liu Fei found that Burleigh had many similarities with Xiao Qiangguang Brain.
"Ahem...... I used to work as a docent at a military museum, and then I studied interstellar finance......" Burleigh looked embarrassed.
"......" Liu Fei was speechless.
"Mr. Liu, in the era of interstellar exploration on the earth, because of the risk of interstellar navigation, many conventions have been formed, for example, any spaceship will carry some basic scientific and technological materials and equipment, and even some seeds, in order to let human beings wander to some wild planets, even if they cannot return to the earth, they can rely on the science and technology on the spacecraft to establish a human society, and at the same time, when approving astronauts, try to ensure that several scientists go together, and many places have retained this traditionWhen we first selected 50 of us, in addition to finance and commerce, there were also some very professional scientists, who had deep attainments in mechanical manufacturing, materials, electronics, and chemistry. ”
I see!
Liu Fei suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Boehly was ambitious, and that stemmed from their self-confidence.
Of course, Liu Fei didn't expect that these fifty people, but Xiao Qiangguang Brain spent some thoughts, they were the best in Keduo Space City, no matter in that industry.
