Chapter 1401
"One thing must be kept in mind when working here! That is safety, safety and safety!" Chen Tie said loudly to the new workers. As the acting team leader of the third welding team in the thirteenth work area of Sky City, Chen Tie felt that his responsibility was very heavy. Now I am also a leader.
There are twelve people in my team, and their job is to do welding work in Sky City.
Chen Tie was originally just an ordinary young man in the mountains of China. In the first twenty years of his life, he never thought that one day he would have anything to do with space and the universe. Especially after a car accident took away his leg, he became even more depressed.
But there is no way out, and when I was most desperate, I got the news that the Osborne Medical Regeneration Center opened a medical point in the provincial capital. In order to regenerate his broken leg, the family emptied all their savings, sold the house, spent all the compensation for the car accident that year, and borrowed money from all relatives and friends who could borrow money. In the end, I managed to get together more than 700,000 yuan for treatment.
With a price of more than 700,000 yuan, Chen Tie finally entered the medical center to allow himself to grow a new leg. He has already made plans for the rest of his life to work hard to make money and pay off debts. But just the night before he was about to go out to work, he saw the most magnificent scenery in his life.
A [sun] rises from the earth, it radiates light and heat, rises from the earth and then rushes to the distant starry sky. It's as if the stars and the sea are its destination. Seeing the rising of the star on the earth, and the speech of a big man he had seen before, Chen Tie couldn't suppress some impulses in his heart. He resolutely devoted himself to the selection of the Explorer Space Skills Training Center.
After three years of training, he finally passed the assessment, and he set foot on a place that he never dared to think of before. Looking into the distance through the space window, a huge blue gem is dazzlingly inlaid on the black curtain. That is the most magnificent color except the sun. This place is called Earth, and I actually went into space and became a technician working in space.
My job is welding, and welding in space is not an easy task. Because in addition to welding in the cabin, some welding work in a vacuum environment in space is extremely difficult. I have to wear an engineering mecha to complete this difficult welding. Because there is no oxygen and no gravity in space, many things that are easy on earth are very difficult in space.
I have worked in Sky City for a year because of my excellent performance and the lack of manpower due to the continuous expansion of the project scale. I was promoted yesterday to be the team leader of a group of newly recruited welders. These people, like themselves a year ago, have just graduated from school. With awe and fear of space, but also with some expectations and fantasies. I need to manage this group of rookies well. Working in space is not comparable to training on earth. Even after thousands of hours of simulated training on Earth, you have to be careful in space. A single mistake is likely to cause his own death, and may even implicate his companions.
"Captain, what are we building now?" A timid-looking voice came, and Chen Tie looked over. The one who made the sound was the only girl in this group of newcomers. She was only about 1.6 meters tall. He has short hair and some freckles on his face. Among a group of tall and strong men, she looked unusually petite.
"Your name is Lin Xingxing?" Chen Tie was deeply impressed by this cute name.
"Right." Lin Xingxing nodded.
"What we are going to build is the space elevator project." Chen Tie explained their current work to Lin Xingxing and to this group of newcomers: "The space elevator project is a super-large project that was approved by the Earth Federation last year. Twenty-four Giant space elevators will be built from the ground of the earth. It's like a giant tree of technology rising from the ground."
"They will be deployed in space along the low-earth orbit to form a ring around the earth. They will become the protective umbrella of the earth, and will also replace the functions of those satellites in the past. This is a huge project, and it is worth our while Work. Alright, this is the end of the introduction, everyone will work according to my command!" Chen Tie gave an order, and all the team members were dressed.
But Chen Tie looked at the petite Lin Xingxing, and he went to her alone with some curiosity and asked, "Why do you, a girl, go to space to do this job? It's very dangerous."
Lin Xingxing smiled before leaving the space capsule in his battle armor: "Because my name is Xingxing, I think space is my home."
The hatch is opened, and they line up to pack.
———————————
Sky City has been continuously expanded and has become the most important stronghold of human life outside the earth. At the very beginning, Sky City was only designed to provide long-term living for 5,000 people. But it was discovered in practical application that this design is still too conservative.
The earth has too much work to do in Sky City, so Tony Stark, who originally designed the Sky City project, united with other scientists on Earth (including Inhumans and Sea People) to renovate and expand Sky City . Now after four years of expansion, Sky City has become a super-large (for humans) space station that can accommodate 50,000 people to work and live.
Spaceships traveling between the earth and the moon occasionally stop here for reorganization. There will also be a lot of materials here, and this place will be used as a transfer point.
Chen Xiang flew here from the earth with a new generation of ark spaceship, and he had already contacted his cousin Chen Tie before coming here. He knew that Chen Tie worked here. In a bar inside Sky City, Chen Xiang, who was wearing a gray sportswear, finally saw his cousin Chen Tie when he drank his third glass of beer. At the same time, he also noticed a petite girl next to his cousin Chen Tie. The girl greeted Chen Tie at the entrance of the bar and left. Only Chen Tie walked into the bar.
Chen Xiang hugged his cousin who hadn't seen him for a long time, and at the same time said with some teasing: "I just saw a beautiful girl, who is my future sister-in-law? Why don't you bring her in?"
"Don't talk nonsense! She just graduated from a girl who is less than 20 years old." Chen Tie was a little embarrassed.
Chen Xiang shook his head, he ordered another bottle of beer to the bartender and filled it up for Chen Xiang, and said: "I really never thought that one day we would be able to drink and chat together in space. It's like a dream."
After Chen Tie heard about it, he also sighed and said: "Yes, when I was studying, I learned from textbooks that the world's first astronaut, China's first astronaut and so on. At that time, I thought they were amazing, but space is so far away from us. So far. So far we can't touch."
"Yes, you can't touch it now. If you want to touch it, you can knock the wall open." The bartender who was wiping the old wine glass behind the bar said jokingly: "Of course, the cost of your direct contact with space is estimated to be death. .”
Chen Tie and Chen Xiang laughed lowly. After the two chatted about what was there and what was not and what was going on, Chen Tie was very interested in Chen Xiang's work this time.
He couldn't help but asked Chen Xiang: "By the way, what are you guys planning to do this time?! It's also very mysterious. Obviously, so many materials have been transported here. Are you also building a space elevator?"
Hearing Chen Tie's question, Chen Xiang laughed: "No, I won't take your job. Originally, I was just an engineering mech pilot on Earth, but fortunately, my technology has improved rapidly in the past two years. The driving level has also been improved. That's why I had the opportunity to participate in this project, and I was very excited when I learned about this project."
"Can you say that?"
"Well, it will be released tomorrow. I can tell you as long as you promise not to leak the secret tonight."
"I swear to promise not to leak the secret!"
"Okay, I can tell you. We are going to make another sun!"
