Chapter 984: Vertical Casting Well Launched!
【
The wreckage of the missile cruiser "Orion" in the pre-war era is suspected of being occupied by illegal armed groups!
At present, the coalition authorities are consulting with various forces, including academies, companies, and other parties, to explore closer cooperation to counter the threat of weapons left over from the pre-war era.
The reporter of this newspaper appealed to everyone to be rational and not to listen to rumors! While it is true that lead shields against some level of radiation, it is pointless and lacks scientific evidence to wear it around the neck or around the waist.

The "Celestial" organization has surfaced! The identity is suspected to be the digital ghost of the expeditionary force in the era of the People's Union!
Experts from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences of the Alliance published an editorial saying that the existence of the "Celestial Man" organization fully justifies the stupidity of "carving a boat for a sword" and its unreliable act of collective suicide.
However, some experts from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences analyzed that the extreme concept of the "Celestial Man" organization is caused by the fact that the social class on the Lagrange space station is too homogeneous, and the predicament they face is similar to that of the Legion.
In any case, the threat from outer space has attracted the attention of the top echelons of various forces.
In an interview with reporters, Si Wen, secretary general of the congress, claimed that the respected President Li Minghui will fight the forces of heaven and man to the end and will never flee from the battle.
Li Minghui himself did not comment on the NPC's statement for the time being, saying only that the 100,000 neutron torpedoes could be a serious challenge, and that the South China Sea Alliance should develop a high-orbit anti-missile system as soon as possible.

The battle of Yangzhou has entered the scorching!
The Mammoth's new commander, Shawa, ruled the army with an iron fist, and after surviving the initial offensive, he had stabilized the front.
Although the Borneo side won the first battle, due to the lack of logistics supply and the lack of equipment for mountain warfare, many units suffered a large number of non-combat attrition, and the Northern Field Army was almost completely wiped out in the latest breakout!
The new commissioner of industry strongly condemned the former commander-in-chief, Absec, saying that his poor governance during his tenure had seriously damaged the economic and industrial development of Borneo and was the main cause of heavy casualties among soldiers on the front line. If you want to restore it to before the damage, it may take at least 20 years.
Despite the difficulties and crises, the Committee is confident that it will weather the difficulties. Savoa, the second-in-command of the Family Association, once again stated at the committee that the pain was only temporary, and once again called on all strata of the capital to unite.
According to other sources, Zeid criticized Sava at an internal meeting as "short-sighted" and a little girl's flirtatious progress, which was neither patterned nor thorough.
In order to secure arable land on the banks of the Yongliu River, he said that more radical measures should be taken to punch the red soil.

The threat of "celestials" is looming, but when the sky falls, there are always tall people on top of it, right?
That ghost place is so far away from the new Xifan Port that the reporter of this newspaper cannot interview the suffering celestials for the time being, and can only hope that they will endure a little longer.
However, it is worth noting that His Majesty Saren coughed heavily at this morning's meeting, or hinted that the Eastern Empire would make a big move, and we will issue a special issue to interpret the deep meaning behind it!
In addition, the war in the Free State has come to an end, and the police department and the Hound Special Forces loyal to City Hall have taken control of more than half of the city.
The company is probably finished, but it is not certain who will kill the deer, after all, Bougera is not only a free state for the citizens of Bugra, but also a free state for the vast number of wastelanders.
Even if the local gang members die, the Flint Gang can find new helpers from the wasteland.
The Free State corporations and civilians may have to fight for a while, and the gang fighting is nothing more than a small fight compared to our neighbors.
The blood of both sides in Yangzhou was flowing, and the number of casualties even exceeded the number of warring sides in the Civil War of the Free State combined!
It turns out that even the end of the world could not stop the Brahmans from killing each other.
In addition to war, other disasters are also being staged in turn.
Due to the vigorous development of industry in Borneo, the industrial facilities of the old Saifan Port have almost withered away, and the owners have transformed into strong swimmers.
One tax official, who asked not to be named, complained that life was getting harder, and that he used to wear some Vaseline lipstick before leaving for work, but now he had to go to the kitchen to find a piece of lard to kiss him.
The reporter of this newspaper also felt that this was simply too miserable.
Of course, the tax collector's head oil did not turn into the grain and oil in the poor man's pot, after all, the red clay did not require too complicated cooking skills, and the local famine broke out not inferior to that of the Xilan era.
His Majesty the wise and martial Saren was puzzled, and he claimed that although he had demolished some of the heavy factories in Xifan Harbor, there were still a lot of light factories left, and it was definitely not as much as the Tiandu newspaper slandered and the land was taken away.
In his plan, the west coast of Borneo could become the light industrial production base of the Eastern Empire, just as the port of Golden Gallen and the Baiyue Strait were to the Alliance.
We can tell that His Majesty Saren is a real fan of someone, and he has been working his homework.
It's just a pity that our neighbors are so unhappy that our Majesty has to subsidize them with a little petroleum jelly to help them get through the difficult time before them.

The war never ended, and after the Torch Church, the Celestials from the Age of Prosperity once again tried to show the way forward for the wastelanders on the surface.
Obviously, they want us to die.
The Great Rift Valley reacted to the threat from outer space as non-response, and it seems that 100,000 neutron torpedoes should not be able to penetrate their shells.
An emergency meeting of the Ideal City's Board of Governors is expected to be announced after the crisis is over.
As for the Legion...... Well, the legions are gone, thankfully they're gone.
Fortunately, this time, the academy did not continue to hide behind the scenes, and finally gambled on a valuable scientific research ship for the benefit of all mankind!
Of course, it may also be because they poked out the basket this time, and if they hadn't lost the research ship, maybe it would have been a little difficult for the space station at Lagrange Point to board the "Orion" missile cruiser.
At the moment, the coalition has sent incendiary corps to the synchronous orbit.
Don't worry, if you can't sleep, just think about the Iron Heart.
General McClairn's assessment was that if he were to be an opponent of the Burning Corps, he would rather turn his gun to face God.
Also, friends of New Saisail Harbor, please don't be too ridiculous, your Majesty Saren probably just has a cold.

……
Regarding the "Celestial" organization and the threat from 36,000 kilometers away, neither the academy nor the alliance deliberately blocked the news.
First, it is almost impossible to completely hide such a big thing, and secondly, to avoid unnecessary panic.
After all, taking the initiative to make things public still has the opportunity to make things clear, and hiding it is tantamount to taking the initiative to give up the position of public opinion.
It is not surprising that there will be any outrageous version when the time comes.
It is precisely for this reason that before the rumors appeared, Chu Guang asked the "Survivor Daily" of Dawning City to conduct an exclusive interview with the alliance's scientific research team on this incident, and disclosed the alliance's strategies and preparations to deal with the crisis to all sectors of society.
And the reaction of the residents of Dawning City also made Chu Guang quite pleased.
The chaos and commotion lasted only two days.
Before the sun rose on the third day, the restless people returned to normal.
Perhaps because of an apocalyptic experience, the vast majority of wastelanders react fairly calmly to things like the end of the world.
Again, such a global catastrophe is useless even if you panic.
What's more, when similar crises occurred in the past, they all managed to get through the most dangerous moments under the leadership of managers.
They have every reason to believe that this time will be the same.
For the all-powerful managers, they have a very reverent belief in the ......
……
The western urban area of Xizhou City.
Ruined houses sit atop the devastated ruins, discarded steel wreckage and wooden planks are everywhere, and the aquatic plants that remain along the walls and windows still seem to exude a damp smell.
Since entering the Wasteland Age, the city has been submerged in back-up lakes for quite some time.
It wasn't until the soldiers of the Alliance arrived and renamed the land under the name "Dawn" that the city, submerged in the waters, was rediscovered.
That being said, even if the Coalition brought order here, there were very few people in the area due to the frequent occurrence of clawed crabs.
It wasn't until the crisis of the "Celestials" appeared that this urban area, which had been forgotten in the corners, was re-taken by the Alliance.
At this moment, trucks are driving along the road next to the ruins, and the busy appearance is not far less than the center of Dawn City.
And in the middle of the dusty construction site, there is an even more jaw-dropping spectacle hidden-
I saw a majestic giant well, located in the middle of the dense concrete ruins!
The mouth of the huge well is the size of several football fields, and when viewed from the sky, it looks like an abyssal mouth looking up at the sky!
What's even more amazing is not only the footprint and bottomless depth of the giant well, but also the internal structure of the well.
I saw that the steel skeleton was like the spine of a giant beast, spreading from the mouth of the well to the bottom, and the wall of the well under the steel skeleton was completely made of metal, exuding a solemn majesty in the dark.
This is Vault 100.
In order to make the "foundry well" in the center of the shelter work, the construction team of the alliance removed the dome above the shelter!
Now that the work to remove the dome has been completed, the recommissioned "Foundry 100" will officially be used as an engine for the Soyuz's space industry.
At this moment, the engineer from the academy was standing above the foundry, and his pupils looking down were full of shocked expressions.
Although he usually laughed at the "simple and crude" industrial system of the Alliance, he could not say a rash word at this moment.
This can no longer be described as a spectacle.
It's like a work of art.
"It's incredible...... After a long time, Zhong Jingchu let out a heartfelt sigh, looked at the old engineer standing aside and said, "I didn't expect you to create such an amazing ...... on the ruins Miracle, I'm underestimating you. ”
There was no half-compliment in the voice.
The old engineer standing next to him smiled heartily and said modestly.
"No, we can't come up with such an exaggerated big guy alone...... Strictly speaking, this is also a legacy of the Prosperous Era, and we just used it for a while. ”
His name is Qi Xiangsong, a professor at Camp 101 and the chief engineer of the Alliance Space Industry Corporation.
Hearing Qi Gong's explanation, Zhong Jingchu felt a little more acceptable in his heart.
At this time, he suddenly noticed that there were light blue points of light flashing inside the shaft, and he couldn't help but look to the side curiously and asked.
"What are those flashing blue dots of light?"
As if guessing that he would ask this, Qi Xiangsong smiled mysteriously and didn't explain, just handed a telescope to him.
"See for yourself."
Zhong Jingchu suspiciously took the telescope from the old engineer's hand and glanced down at the wellhead.
It doesn't matter.
When he saw clearly what the faint blue light source was, his eyes suddenly widened involuntarily.
There was nothing mysterious about the blue glow in itself, it was just a sputtering spark from arc welding while welding an alloy.
What is truly shocking is the light source of the electric spark!
That's the light emitted by the "Cross Spider" engineering robot!
Like web-weaving spiders, they shuttle and climb back and forth on the vertically constructed steel skeleton, according to the pre-programmed procedures to carry the materials conveyed by the spreader above the wellhead to a specific location, and complete the welding and assembly operations.
Under the busyness of tens of thousands of mechanical spiders, a steel structure of 10,000 tons or even hundreds of thousands of tons is "growing" upwards at a speed that is visible to the naked eye!
Although he is not an expert in the aerospace field, Zhong Jingchu also has some understanding of the aerospace industry.
Because of this, he knew very well how incredible this scene was!
No wonder the Alliance's managers are confident that they will build another gravity well in the southern seas.
If the strength of this casting well is fully exerted, let alone any gravity well, the Alliance's spacecraft will really be able to spread the low-earth orbit like dumplings!
"These mechanical spiders ......"
"It's the technological achievement of the remnants of Vault 100," Qi Xiangsong said, looking at the deep well, "They decided to join us after learning about us. ”
Zhong Jingchu's Adam's apple moved, and he redirected his gaze to the vertical casting shaft under his feet, and was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke.
"I remember that in the earliest days, there was a time when the People's Federation was building spacecraft on the ground...... It wasn't until space mining and alloy smelting technology matured, and the space industry gradually moved from the surface to geosynchronous orbit and then to the Lagrangian stabilization point, after the development of space mining and alloy smelting technology and the completion of space elevators. ”
Qi Xiangsong said with a smile.
"I've heard about that history. So, is it the first time to assemble a spaceship on the ground? Only we've done it? ”
"Sort of."
Zhong Jingchu nodded, and said with a somewhat emotional expression.
"At that time, our science could only analyze its own dimension, and it had not yet penetrated into other dimensions, let alone control gravitons and interfere with the gravitational field. We can only use the stupidest way to wrestle with the 'resistance' that opposes our outward migration. ”
"But now it's different, not only can we break free from gravity, but we can also make gravity the monsoon ...... that moves us forward."
When he said this, the admiration in his heart was overflowing, and he sincerely admired.
"In a sense, you did make history."
He hadn't understood why most of the defecting researchers had ended up in the Alliance, but now he finally understood what those people were thinking.
They saw in the alliance a promise they had never seen before.
It wasn't a miracle created by one person.
It's a group of people who create it together.
If he hadn't had the same mission, he probably wouldn't have wanted to stay......
