Chapter Eighty-Six: The Second Floor
Energy is a big issue, and luckily on the Blue Star, it has a lot of stock.
According to the current consumption of Blue Star and the wasteland world, there is no need to worry about this problem for a long time.
However, it is estimated that it will take a while longer for him to be able to get enough deuterium.
So in order to save energy, Shen Sen finally chose to buy the finished product.
South Philippines is rich in mineral resources and is one of the five largest mineral resources countries in the world, with proven reserves and more than 70 kinds of minerals.
And since the establishment of the African Southern Union, although the global ranking has not changed, the types of minerals and reserves have almost doubled.
The main titanium and steel can basically be bought here at a preferential price, and the amount of other materials is small, but in order to have better performance, it cannot be missing, such as tungsten, manganese silicon, molybdenum, tungsten, nickel-chromium, etc.
In addition, there are things such as special ceramics that are less used but cannot be produced locally, but they can be obtained through trade, but the price is a little more expensive, after all, the industry of South Philippines is one of the best in the Philippines, but it can only be regarded as a mid-stream level on the Blue Star.
Soon, Old Man Li made a general inspection, and then directed the truck to drive behind the empty camp.
There are many entrances to the STC factory, but most of them can only be opened from the inside, and the only passage that can be entered from the outside was hidden by the Flying Church before, and the mark made by Old Man Li was also removed by them.
Last time, he had to use violent means to enter the entrance of the STC, so after Old Man Li took Shen Sen to browse the core control area of the first layer, he told Shen Sen in time about the channel switches that opened different directions and entrances with different functions.
Normally, the transportation of materials to the STC production center of Pioneer mainly relies on air transportation channels.
According to what Old Man Li said, their oldest small transport vehicle, called the G3 model, can transport 100,000 tons of materials at a time, and in a non-wartime state, basically one formation can meet the needs of one year.
In addition, there is a passage, which is mainly responsible for the import and export of some land equipment, which is large enough and convenient enough, and this time they are taking this passage.
The explanation was explained, but because there was nothing to transport at that time, and Shen Sen had not seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't help but be a little curious this time, and followed Li Xin, who led them, to an empty and open wasteland behind the camp, wanting to see what it was like.
Li Xin stopped, and Shen Sen, who was accompanying him, waved his hand to stop several trucks following him.
"Sir, this is the destination, Team Li said to let you wait a while, he will go down first and turn on the passage switch!"
There was irrepressible excitement in Li Xin's tone, and he relayed the words that Old Man Li had given him to Shen Sen with sincere fear.
"Well, I see, just wait here." Shen Sen smiled and nodded.
"Your name is Li Xin, right?"
On the way to wait, there was nothing to do, Shen Sen looked at the slightly nervous young man in front of him, and asked gently.
"Report sir, my name is Li Xin!"
Feeling the envious eyes of the team members next to him, blood surged up on Li Xin's dark face, what a surprise it was, the leader actually remembered his name.
"You're the squad leader now, aren't you?"
"Yes sir, I'm the leader of Team One!" Li Xin answered Shen Sen's question seriously.
Shen Sen nodded, on the one hand, because of the rush of time, on the other hand, because there were relatively few people, and he did not engage in any complicated division of the system in the wasteland camp.
Except for him, a leader whose power has no restrictions, Luke Zhang Ting and Old Man Li are considered middle-level managers.
Luke is in charge of logistics, Zhang Ting is in charge of defense, and Old Man Li is in charge of construction, and there is no difficulty in managing thousands of people.
Since the training of 500 recruits came out, in order to facilitate and efficiently transmit instructions, Shen Sen was simply divided into 20 teams according to a team of 25 people, and Zhang Ting was responsible for the overall training management.
However, now that everything is starting to get on track, and the winter season is approaching, Shen Sen feels that he should adjust the structure and sort out a suitable framework for both the wasteland side and the ninth district side.
An excellent institutional structure can make the organization get a virtuous cycle of development.
"Click!"
"Squeak!"
In the quiet wasteland, a sound of electricity suddenly sounded from the dreary underground from the inside out, breaking the conversation between Shen Sen and Li Xin.
Shen Sen's eyelids jumped slightly, and he looked at the flat land that was originally empty, as if an earthquake had occurred, and began to shake violently.
Tiny stones and dust, as if they were on the surface of a drum that had been struck by someone, flew up and down.
Then, in the middle of the ground, as if someone had crossed it with a ruler, a long black line with a straight width of dozens of meters slowly appeared in the eyes of everyone.
The slender straight line began to expand, splitting the ground in two, turning into a crack, and the force from the ground stretched it out in both sides, gradually turning it into a deep abyss.
In the abyss, faintly, white light shines out, and between a few breaths, two huge transportation platforms composed of delicate mechanical structures are slightly tilted, stretching out from the left and right sides, splicing and combining together.
"Phew!"
A rectangular platform about fifty meters long and about thirty meters wide appeared in front of Shen Sen and the others in its entirety, with a cold gray color of steel texture, covered with complex anti-skid lines.
Old man Li said that this passage could barely transport some gadgets in the past.
But that's it?
Shen Sen turned his head and looked at the truck behind him, which he thought was already very big at first, and it was estimated that compared to Old Man Li and their gadgets, these things could only be called mini.
This transport platform can transport these four trucks with a load of more than 20 tons at a time.
"Drive ahead!"
Shen Sen gave an order, and the four trucks stopped neatly on the transportation platform in order, and Li Xin and the others followed closely and got into the pickup truck.
"Click!"
It was like sitting in an elevator, but much faster than that, and in less than ten seconds, along with the truck, the transport platform sped down dozens of meters and stopped in front of a wide trestle.
From the wasteland to the STC factory, a huge machine factory appears in front of everyone, and there is no end in sight.
All they saw were thousands of intelligent robotic arms hanging upside down in the air, unknown huge devices with a crimson sheen, like a sea of machines, only a vague light in the distance, like a pulsing blue elf.
"Welcome to the world of the second layer of the STC!"
Ahead, countless dark blue light and shadow particles projected out of nowhere, conjuring up the holographic appearance of Old Man Li, with a smile on his face, slowly walking towards Shen Sen and the others.
