On February 1, hundreds of helicopters landed in the master company, and all the national leaders were present. "Xiao Zhang, thank you." The chairman held Zhang Jingyuan's hands, looked at the tens of thousands of employees of the company who welcomed the masters, and suddenly felt a sense of pride and warmth. The support for the state, the master company has never stopped, but the country has dragged its feet several times.

"My rise, the glory of the master company, comes from this land. Now, it's time for us to give back to the land. There are no grandiose words, no big statements, Zhang Jingyuan's words are very flat, but they have a shocking power.

In the distance, a banner hunted in the cold wind: Fight for the rise of the nation. The students who had just entered Deep Blue Middle School, wearing crisp school uniforms that imitated military uniforms, stood still in the fierce cold wind.

"Good, good! All right! The chairman patted Zhang Jingyuan on the shoulder and said nothing.

"Let's go, Chairman, let's go and see, let's see if the first phase of the project has just been completed, and tomorrow, we will watch the groundbreaking ceremony of the space base with the first batch of construction materials."

"Good! I'll take a look and see how our technology is now! ”

The roaring helicopter hung in mid-air, looking at the hot work site below. The ground project, a super project under the auspices of the Eastern Bloc, is still under intense construction. It's just that the first phase of the project has been completed.

The first phase of the project, mainly the first phase of the nuclear power plant and the steel plant, is aimed at producing special steel for space use as the skeleton of the space base. The requirements for these basic building materials are relatively not so strict, as long as the strength is sufficient, it is roughly fine. 120 meters long, the error within 5mm is enough, anyway, this thing in space, also need to carry out strict welding operations, when the time comes, you can make up for this difference with welding technology. Of course, the current technology is enough to ensure that the error of the 120-meter-long steel pipe is all within 1mm.

Below, there are still construction machinery at a height of 100 meters everywhere, even if Zhang Jingyuan looks down on these spectacular scenes in the sky, there is also a heartfelt shock, this is the power of mechanical technology civilization! Looking at the machinery that lifts thousands of tons or even several times the number of tons, and the rapid construction of huge objects like building blocks, the shock cannot be concealed.

Starting from the master company, along the 120-kilometer-long construction line, it spreads in the direction of the port of Qindao City; And the same goes for helicopters in the sky.

Along the line, the industrial zone with a width of more than 10 kilometers stretches endlessly, and some small hills have been directly dug up, and the greenery on both sides is beautiful.

All kinds of vehicles shuttle among them, some are simple small battery cars, and large ones are lifting machinery up to 100 meters high. This is still because of the current super engineering construction, there is no building with a height of more than 100 meters in the design, otherwise with the current technology, Zhang Jingyuan believes that there is a construction machinery with a height of 300 meters.

Today, however, the main visit is actually to the port, where the first phase of construction has been completed. Three months after the start of construction, the construction of the first phase of the project was completed, including the first phase of the nuclear power plant, a medium-sized steel plant and supporting rolling equipment.

Looking down at the ground in the sky, a huge project appeared in front of everyone.

In the distance, amid the sound of the crashing waves, a ship of more than 300,000 tons returning from Australia slowly docked at the port. The massive 400-meter-long and 35-meter-wide ship was bulky and slow, but it wasn't that big in a larger port. The port supporting the super project has been enlarged a lot, and the distant location is still being expanded.

The motor hums, and the ship's iron powder is transported through a guò belt, which then goes directly into a 10-metre-wide conveyor belt made up of steel chains, which at the other end is directly connected to the steel plant. Most of the middle is sealed, in a way that is windy, rainy, etc., causing damage and environmental pollution.

The nearest steel plant is only about 100 meters from the port. The conveyor belt feeds the iron concentrate directly into the smelting furnace. Of course, the link here, the people on the plane can't see it. However, you can still see a faint halo that appears over the plant due to the use of high-voltage electric smelting technology, which is generated by high-voltage electromagnetism.

Farther away, on the conveyor belt of the steel chain, 100 meters long and black steel columns after forming and quenching, are transported to another huge factory. What comes out of it is a steel column that has been sprayed at high temperatures and is simply finished. The titanium layer that shimmers with golden yellow light makes the steel column look noble and gorgeous.

Next to it, a double-arm hoisting machinery lifted the 150-ton hollow steel column to the side of the transport vehicle, and then it was transported to the location of the master company 120 kilometers away, where all the steel columns will be loaded onto the Rise plane and sent to space.

"Xiao Zhang, I see that these pillars are so thick, why don't you make them thinner? Is this easy to transport? "The chairman and Zhang Jingyuan were in the same helicopter.

"Chairman, in space, the cost of construction is too high, so after rigorous calculations, we have temporarily found the easiest way, that is, there is a 4.8-meter diameter space inside these steel columns, they are pillars on the one hand, and on the other hand, they are also self-contained space. At this stage, these steel pillars will also be strange-shaped space capsules in space, and after the successful construction of the space base, these steel pillars will also be pipes for wires and cables, and can even be used as escape pipes, water storage tanks, etc.

So, it doesn't look bulky now, but once it's built, we can make the most of the space.

In addition, we will also cram a lot of other materials into these spaces during transportation, such as food, drinking water, etc. The new Rise has an internal diameter of 16 meters, a length of 150 meters, and a transportation space of 122 meters, just enough to fit these steel pillars into it. ”

"Well, that's right. By the way, Xiao Zhang, how much does it cost to build such a space base now? ”

"This ...... It's really impossible to calculate. Only 1 million square kilometers of photovoltaic cells are needed, and space factories, space food bases, and space residential areas will be built in the later stage, which has exceeded the statistics that can be counted.

So, Chairman, we have to have a new currency, one that is fit for the space age. The existing currency, in fact, is not far from collapsing.

Moreover, it goes without saying that it is too far away, let's just say that at present, in space, measured by existing currency, it has long lost its real meaning.

The new currency should not be the current currency issued on the basis of the country's credibility, but a currency issued on the basis of the country's great power. This currency represents the rights, duties, status, and so on that a person enjoys in the country. Like, the 'point' of the current internal circulation of the master company. According to the internal regulations of the master company, the right to meet the minimum needs of a person's average daily life is 100 points. 100 points of purchasing power is equivalent to 2L of water + 1kg of cooked rice + 1 egg + 100ml of milk + 10g of salt + 50g of fruit + 50g of vegetables. This is the current 'point' purchasing power of the master company. Now there's an official name: Life Coins! ”

Well! The chairman nodded, Zhang Jingyuan's explanation had a really powerful impact on him. But combined with the current era, as Zhang Jingyuan said, it is time to change!
