Chapter 608: Commencement
After many calculations, the foundation of the new city does not need to be too deep, after all, the buildings above are light materials and do not bear too much weight.
There are a total of 640,000 piles in the No. 1 small city, with an average depth of about 30 meters, in order to complete it quickly, Lin Feng transferred back dozens of shield machines at home and abroad, and at the same time added dozens of them in the universe mall, making up the whole number of 100 units. Day and night, it took a total of five days to excavate the piles in the No. 1 town.
Looking at the dense holes on the ground, Hu Yihai's construction team began to get busy, pouring concrete into the holes.
In fact, according to the strength of the pile wall, it is stronger than fully reinforced concrete. But people are like this, when they see that the pile is an empty hole, their hearts are not steady.
Therefore, according to Chief Engineer Xu's suggestion, concrete is poured into these piles, and there is no need to put a steel cage.
The pile is two meters in diameter, and a hole requires 95 square meters of concrete, which is obviously not up to speed with traditional pump trucks. Lin Feng had already been prepared and borrowed all the big spiders that had been sold to the shipyard before.
These long-legged companions, several hundred meters high, can lift three large iron cans at the same time, and one iron can is enough to water one pile.
On the open sand, nearly 1,000 temporary concrete mixing plants are divided into 10 camps, eating yellow sand, gravel, cement and other materials into their stomachs day and night, and then spitting the mixed concrete on the conveyor belt in front of them, and transferring them to the huge iron cans at the very end, waiting for the transportation of the big spiders.
These mixing plants are designed and manufactured by Lin Feng with supramolecular polymerization materials, with super batteries and engines, each of which can mix 5 cubic meters of raw materials at a time, and 1,000 units can produce 2.4 million cubic meters per day.
This part of the investment alone is already astronomical, and it is impossible for an engineering team of this size to occur in China or even in the world.
However, he thinks it is worth it in order to meet the deadline, at least without worrying about maintenance.
Lin Feng calculated a little, and under the condition of timely supply of materials, it would take a total of 25 days to pour all the piles.
The construction period was longer than he expected, but the 100-year plan began with the foundation, so he could only be patient.
After the first day of watering, a large number of excavators and transport convoys drove into the site to start excavating and transporting the sand above the piles.
All kinds of plates and profiles processed according to the drawings are also continuously transported from the factory in Linjia Village, and the workers put these huge materials in place and assemble them together with bolts made of polymer materials.
This is a relatively delicate step, each piece of material must be assembled in strict accordance with the drawings, and if there is a mistake in one place, it will affect the future facility.
Fortunately, these workers have traveled all over the country and renovated countless new villages, so they are familiar with doing things. Lin Feng looked around all day, and didn't find anything wrong or missing, so he relieved everyone to speed up the construction.
The entire construction site has been rolled out, and the total number of workers, including the transportation and logistics teams, has exceeded 10,000. This is only the first town, and when the piles in the other towns start to be watered, the number of workers will exceed 100,000.
Such a big move naturally attracted international attention, China's major media also sent a lot of reporters to interview and visit, especially the United Kingdom and Italy, their subway construction is in full swing, suddenly construction machinery was withdrawn, many people are speculating whether there is something wrong with the relationship with China.
People in both countries began to worry, but they didn't hear any unusual news, and the full launch of the Earth Mall is steadily unfolding. Therefore, in order to explore the truth, the BBC reporters directly opened a live broadcast to come to the scene to relieve the doubts in their hearts for their people.
The reporter is still the one Lin Feng is familiar with, and he is reporting on the trial operation of the high-speed railway from Rongcheng to Fucheng, as well as the submarine salvaged by Lin Feng's fishing team to the US imperialists.
This time he is not as "humorous" and poisonous as before, perhaps because everyone is now an ally, and the attitude towards allies is naturally not the same as before.
"Oh God, look where we've been!"
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw 10 large spiders going back and forth between the mixing plant and the construction site, the huge body, the mixing plant lined up in a square line, and the mountains of raw materials, which directly made him stunned and didn't know what to say.
"According to our information, Linfeng Technology is building a staff apartment here, I want to say, is there so many employees in Linfeng Group in such a big place?"
Following a small person in charge of a construction site, the reporter came to the site of watering the pile, a huge iron can funnel was slowly coming to the top of the pile under the hoisting of the big spider, and two workers wielded a sledgehammer to smash the iron pin of the funnel open.
Boom –
The concrete rushes into the piles like a mudslide, filling them up almost instantly. Then a huge vibrator came down from the sky with a deafening roar.
After a large number of bubbles bubbled up from the concrete of the pile, it began to solidify, and the vibrating rod was pulled out, and two workers took tools to smooth the top of the pile, and one pile was completed.
It didn't take more than 3 minutes before and after, and at the same time, under the same big spider, there were two other piles watering at the same time.
"In the past, we always heard about Huaxia speed, but now we know what the real Huaxia speed is. Just now, this little brother told me that such a pile position requires nearly 100 square meters of concrete, and if it were changed to our country, I am afraid that such a hole would take a week. ”
It is not an exaggeration that the construction industry has declined to the point of intolerable decline in an old capitalist country like the United Kingdom.
More and more old construction workers are leaving their jobs, and young people are reluctant to work on construction sites. A large project often requires several large construction companies to work together, and the front-line workers are basically third-world workers, and it is a bit unrealistic to expect them to do a good job for you.
The reporter visited the scene and wanted to find Lin Feng or a bigger person in charge everywhere, but unfortunately everyone didn't give him this opportunity at all.
With such a large construction site in full swing, everyone is so busy that their feet don't touch the ground, who will have anyone to talk to him.
The reporter finally found the commander-in-chief office of the construction site, and with the permission of Chief Engineer Xu, he saw the planning map of the entire city.
"576 square kilometers?"
The reporter can't be calm, it's just a staff dormitory, how can it be so big?
"I have decided," the reporter made a new decision after communicating with the headquarters, "from today onwards, I will be stationed in this place for a long time to witness the birth of this new 'city' with you." ”
This decision undoubtedly made him gain a very high support rating, not only in the UK, but even around the world began to know that there is such a 24-hour live broadcast.
Linfeng New Town soon gained great attention from all over the world.
