Soon.

The two robots came to the vicinity of the drilling platform of the stick's house, and also saw the four anchor chains that fixed the drilling platform.

The drilling platform of the stick family is a semi-submersible drilling platform.

What is a semi-submersible drilling platform?

It is fixed by anchor chains, and the platform is semi-submersible into the seawater, independently balancing buoyancy and gravity.

Casing drilling is then used to drill on the seabed.

Sounds simple.

But in fact, it is very troublesome, especially the balance and vertical positioning, which is one of the difficulties.

In addition to this, sleeve drilling has a very big disadvantage, that is, as the depth of the drilling increases, the pipe will become thinner and thinner.

At present, a new technology has been developed on the rod side, which increases the diameter of the sleeve while ensuring the pressure is balanced, and it is time to make a multi-hole drill bit.

They tested a sleeve and tried to drill it.

The geology of the seabed is ok.

Drilling is not difficult.

There is nothing wrong with the data fed back by the pressure sensor of the sleeve.

At present, the gravity crane of this system is in the final commissioning, and it is expected that the drilling will be carried out in three days.

Tang Rui didn't know any of this.

He sent a robot to help the stick to see if the structure of the load-bearing column on the seabed was safe.

As a result, he found that the rig did not use load-bearing columns.

It's hard.

As for the anchor chain, it's not very technical.

Even if one is broken.

People can take out ten at any time, but it costs a little money, and it won't cause any trouble.

How can I help the stick?

Tang Rui looked at the holographic projection in front of him, and suddenly had an idea.

"Red Lotus, amplify the geological structure around the casing borehole."

"Yes, master."

The picture of the holographic projection screen changes.

The geological structure data around the sleeve borehole and the simulated geological structure model appeared in front of his eyes.

Tang Rui looked at it for a while, constantly zooming in and out of the geological structure model, and then drew a crooked line on it.

This line is not drawn blindly.

It is drawn entirely along the weak geological formation, that is, the soil layer that is most easily drilled.

"Red Lotus, let the underground drilling robot follow the line I drew, make a passage from the bottom of the sea, reach the bottom of the opponent's sleeve drilling, and put the hardest and wear-resistant tungsten alloy plate inside."

Tang Rui said to the red lotus.

"Okay, master, Red Lotus knows what to do." Red Lotus nodded, and immediately controlled the underground drilling robot to set off.

After leaving the matter to Red Lotus to do.

He turned off the holographic projection.

In the early morning of the next day, the underground drilling robot had already drilled out of a channel.

Then three layers of 100 mm thick super wear-resistant tungsten alloy were placed directly below the sleeve drilling, and even fixed.

Do it all.

Red Lotus controls the robot to return.

In the blink of an eye.

Three days passed.

Tang Rui was already busy, thinking that the various construction units had already sent their estimated results.

He has to adjust the project plan and construction time according to the progress of these projects.

Actually, it's not that difficult.

After Honglian helped him sort it out, he could fine-tune it according to the overall situation.

"Red Lotus, the sorted out project plan will be sent to each construction unit, so that they can carry out construction according to this form."

"Yes, master."

"Are there any other unprocessed emails and materials?"

"No, but there is a special reminder."

"What a special reminder."

"The reminder is the depth of the rods, which are now almost at the point where they are drilling the tungsten alloy steel plate."

When Tang Rui heard this, he immediately came to his senses.

"Show the holographic projection of the borehole."

"Yes, master."

……

The other side.

On the rig of the stick, the head of the consortium of this project, came here to inspect the progress of the project.

"Director Jin, at present, everything is going well for our piercing, and with the strong support of the group, the performance of the employees is also very good."

"The president of this project attaches great importance to it, as long as it is done well, this year's bonus and job title are not a problem."

"I know that we will do our best to ensure that the project runs smoothly."

"Very well, in order to treat everyone, two women's groups will come to the drilling platform in three days to perform for you."

"Thank you Director Kim for your arrangement."

Just as Director Jin was talking to the person in charge of the drilling platform, the technical person in charge of the drilling department suddenly found that there was a problem with the parameters on the screen.

The digging depth of the drill bit does not move.

There is no problem with the rotational speed.

There are no problems with the drill bit either.

The pressure sensor also found no problems.

What's wrong?

It stands to reason that if you drill into hard rock or a special geological layer, the drill bit will react.

For example, the drill bit is overheating, and the speed is slowing down.

But at the moment, there is no problem with the rotational speed, which means that the drill bit is not stuck.

The temperature of the drill bit did not increase much, indicating that the wear was not serious and that it did not encounter a special geological layer.

That's the problem.

There is no problem, why can't the drill bit go down?

"Turn up the speed."

The person in charge thought for a moment and opened his mouth to give the order.

The speed of the drill bit has increased.

But the depth still hasn't changed at all.

Assi!

"Take the drill back."

"Take it back? Okay, team leader, I got Smecta. ”

With the drill bit being retracted.

Let's dig under the shaft to check the situation of the drill bit.

There is wear and tear.

But it's not serious.

There's a ghost here, why is this happening?

The team leader thought about it and reported to the top first.

"What? Can't drill down? Don't know why? Director Kim happened to be in the office of the person in charge, and when he heard the report of the team leader, the whole person almost jumped.

"Yes, I don't know why, the drill bit just can't go down, the sensor and other data, all normal."

The team leader nodded and said, he has drilled a lot over the years, but he has never seen such a situation.

"Let's take a look."

The three of them left the office and went to the shaft, first glanced at the drill bit, and there was really no problem.

Then, go back to the control room and put the drill down again.

When it reaches 1724 meters.

The drill stopped.

No matter how you drill, you just can't get down.

"Can you determine the geology below?"

"Not sure."

"What about the data from the previous drilling?"

"The geological structure obtained from the previous drilling, this position should be dirt and sand, and it cannot block the drill bit."

"Re-drill and look at the geological data below."

"Okay."

The person in charge of the drilling platform, who gives orders directly.

The drill bit used at present is not the same as the drill bit used for drilling, and the penetration ability is one level worse.

Less than half an hour.

The drill bit was replaced.

As the drill bit was lowered, everyone went to the control room and stared at the data on the screen.

Less than a minute.

The warning light is lit and the temperature of the drill bit rises.

But the person in charge didn't take it seriously, the drill bit was broken, as long as the following geological samples could be obtained, it didn't matter.

But five minutes passed.

The drill bit wear warning light is also on.

But the position of the drill bit still did not drop at all.

"Raise the drill bit." The person in charge spoke.

It can't go any further.

Because the drill bit has worn out, even if it continues to drill, there is no point.

As soon as the drill bit went up, a group of people immediately ran over.

When they saw the drill, they were dumbfounded.

Where is this drill.

It's not a drill pipe.

The entire drill bit is smoothed.

As for geological sampling, that's not at all.

A group of people gathered face to face.

Why is this so weird?

What kind of geological conditions can grind a drill bit like this?

It's not scientific.

"What now?"

"Director Kim, we may have to drill in a different place, the geology here is too weird."

"Can you drill down from another place?" Director Jin asked with a frown.

"It should be no problem, this special geological environment is difficult to appear on a large scale, we can only say that we are unlucky."

"That's fine, but this time it must be successful, otherwise I will go back and have no way to explain to the president."

"Director Jin can rest assured that we will drill first this time to ensure that there is no problem before we carry out the operation."

"Then hurry up, I'll wait for the results to come back later."

"Okay."

The person in charge of the drilling platform immediately ordered the employees to retract the anchor chain, raise the drilling platform, and move towards the sea area ahead.

The speed of movement of the drilling rig is slow though.

But they don't have to go far.

So it only took half an hour to fix the position again and drill.

This time they didn't go down the pipe, but probed first.

Tang Rui on the yacht.

After seeing the rig of the stick stop, he took a bite of watermelon and asked Red Lotus to calculate their punch position.

"Master, the calculation is done, their borehole location is here."

"Well, now that you know the location, let the robot go over and place the tungsten alloy steel plate at the same depth."

Tang Rui said to the red lotus for a hundred years while eating melons.

"Okay, master, Honglian promises to put the steel plate at the same depth, not a centimeter will be bad."

After Honglian finished speaking, she controlled the underground drilling robot and dug there.

The speed of the robot is much faster than the drilling speed of a rod.

The rod had just put the drill down.

Red Lotus has already put the tungsten alloy steel plate into the ground.

The location is not wrong at all.

After the rod is drilled down, it will also touch the tungsten alloy steel plate.

This wear-resistant metal specially developed by the material calculation software of Red Lotus cannot be processed even by the drill bit of the machine tool.

If you want to process this metal, even Tang Rui has no way at present.

The only way to deform it is to shape it before it cools down completely.

After it cools down, there is nothing you can do with it.

This is a special metal that is even more difficult to machine than titanium alloys.

It's not that Tang Rui looks down on the stick.

It was said that the steel plate was underground, and even if the steel plate was placed in front of them, they would not be able to deal with it.

……

"Did you reach the position?"

Director Kim, who was sitting in the office, kept urging and asking.

"It's coming soon, twenty minutes at most." The person in charge replied immediately.

In order to be afraid that Director Jin would be in a hurry, they were desperately wearing out the drill bit and drilling down frantically.

That's it.

The drilling soon came to the location of the steel plate.

"Team leader, the drill has stopped again."

"What's the depth?"

"At the same depth as just now, the bottom of the sea is 1,724 meters."

"Turn up the speed to the maximum and drill to the death."

"Got it, team leader."

As the speed is increased to its maximum, in less than two minutes, the drill bit wear warning light is on.

"Raise the drill bit."

After the team leader finished speaking, he ran to the office and reported to the person in charge and Director Jin.

After hearing this, the expressions of the two of them became gloomy.

Especially Director Jin, his face was gloomy and almost dripping.

The three of them came to the shaft.

Look at it and be smoothed out again, turning it into a drill bit of drill pipe.

Look at each other.

Speechless.

"Didn't you say that you can drill down in another place, so how do you explain this now?"

Director Jin was the first to attack, he wanted to find someone to take the blame.

The person in charge did not refute or say anything else, but stared at the smoothed drill.

"What are you looking at?" Director Jin asked puzzled.

"We sent it."

At this time, the eyes of the person in charge lit up.

"What's wrong?"

"Look at this drill."

"What's wrong with the drill bit, isn't it smoothed?"

"Yes, it's smoothed out."

The person in charge clapped his hands, and said with bright eyes: "You say, what kind of material can the drill bit be smoothed?" ”

Under natural environmental conditions, it is impossible to have a metal material that smooths the drill bit, not even diamond.

"Isn't that a metal born under natural conditions?" The team leader thought of it for the first time and spoke.

"Yes, not only is it not a naturally occurring metal, but it is not even a metal made on Earth. What does it mean that you are drilling, there are no scratches on it, and the surface is very flat? ”

The person in charge said with a trembling body.

"This means that there is a very flat and wear-resistant metal underneath, and the drill bit is smoothed out without any damage to the other side." The leader's eyes lit up.

"What do you mean?"

Director Jin was stunned by these two neuropaths.

Something went wrong with the project.

You're not only not nervous, but you're excited.

It's like an orgasm.

What does it mean?

"Beyond all impossibility, even if the final answer is unbelievable, it is the truth.

We've got an alien creation, most likely a spaceship buried underground. ”

The person in charge of the drilling platform said excitedly.

Spacecraft?

"What do you mean by a spaceship? And not veins or something? Director Jin asked puzzled.

"Team Leader Park, you can explain to Director Kim."

"Director Jin, it's like this, this drill bit of ours is made of a special alloy, and there is no vein and metal in nature that can ...... in such a short time."

With the explanation of the team leader, Director Jin also understood.

There's a spaceship down here.

"God bless the stick Smecta!"

Three excited people, hugging each other, crying and laughing.

It's so exciting.

They actually dug up the spaceship.

Smecta is rising.

Eagle sauce can't stop it.

Director Kim said.

Relatives came in the evening, the update was late, sorry!
