Chapter 814 The Gap
(I found a serious mistake. The last time I sailed around the world, the representative of the Ming Dynasty was General Lan Haitao of the Fuguo Kingdom. As a result, when I was exploring Liuli Island, this guy appeared again...
Sin, sin, too many. Everyone just remember that it is the representative of the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, the Liuli Island session is over~(>_<)~)
The aircraft carrier formation rowed across the sea in a mighty manner, and it was the next morning in a blink of an eye.
From far away, someone exclaimed.
On the surface of the sea ahead, an intermittent black line appeared, suspended in mid-air, majestic and motionless under the rising sun.
There is also a row of vertical pillars on the sea, which are connected together and extend out of sight. Some of the pillars go straight into the sky, and the top of the pillars is connected with the morning glow, which seems to hold up half of the sky.
"It's a land bridge!" Someone has already exclaimed.
It has been almost five months since the land bridge officially broke ground. The Dayang Group mobilized a large number of Nascent Soul Stages, a large number of Spirit Transformation Stages, a few Dharma masters to help, and Dayang Group's technology, etc. In just five months, a miracle was created.
The aircraft carrier formation slowly approached the front, Hu Xiao and Yun Xiang grabbed the railing, looking at the picture ahead with great excitement.
The pillars in front are distributed in a patchwork pattern, and every certain distance, there will be a vacant section; at both ends of the vacant part, there are two large pillars that go straight into the sky, separated by a long distance.
In the northern part, considerable bridge deck construction has been completed. As we got closer, we gradually saw more details.
Those dense bridge pillars are about 70 to 80 meters apart and about 30 meters high, just floating above the sea.
And the few pillars that go straight into the sky are inserted into the sea in a triangular shape, more than twice the width of the road; the height is more than 300 meters according to visual inspection.
A huge arch support is pulled up by stay cables, and the bridge deck is under the arch support. Through such double-layer reinforcement, it can resist the strong winds and waves in the sea, harsh weather, and even monsters.
Such arched piers are not consistent, the small ones are more than 300 meters long, and the large ones are more than 500 meters long. but evenly distributed.
The height of the bridge deck can reach 40 meters.
But even so, there is still a bridge deck designed to be pulled up.
The aircraft carrier formation passed through the bridge deck below, and countless people looked up at the bridge deck with a width of 150 meters, and at the cable-stayed bridge piers with a width of more than 300 meters and a height of more than 300 meters on both sides-this is just the bridge on the sea. part.
There are huge engineering ships busy in the distance. These engineering ships on the sea are designed in a boxy shape, but their displacement is surprisingly large.
Hu Xiao looked at one of the engineering ships. This engineering ship was rectangular, and its side length was about 400 by 300 meters. The whole above is a small town.
In fact, Hu Xiao couldn't see that on the bottom of the sea, there was a huge barrier propped up by Huashen masters, and construction machinery was rumbling piles in the barrier. Steel pillars of more than 300 meters long and treated with anti-rust treatment were nailed into the ground.
Different from the foundation of the piers on the ground, 15 pillars need to be laid here to support a pier; each pier is a tower that extends from the seabed hundreds of meters, or even thousands of meters.
Especially the piers of the cable-stayed bridge must be built on solid rock, and 5×20 columns are required to support them. It's like a millipede rooted to the bottom of the ocean.
In the surrounding sea water, there are also mountain whips held by masters of the transformation stage, moving around the seabed hills.
The efficiency of catching mountain whips is very low, and the efficiency is even lower at the bottom of the sea. But the Dayang Group has many magic weapons and many masters of Huashen.
Every time the mountain whip is used, the position of the mountain root will fluctuate a little-the mountain peak is like skating on ice.
Mountain whip is actually a kind of super magic weapon with earth attribute. Of course, means such as water attributes will be assisted.
Large and small hills were driven to both sides of the bridge, suppressing the ground, providing stronger support and a stable base for the crazy land bridge project.
After the steel columns of each bridge are constructed, cement will be poured for reinforcement and rust prevention. Cement is a reinforced concrete structure, not just pouring.
The cost of these bridge piers of the Dayang Group is more than 200 high-grade spirit stones each; as they get closer to the deep sea, the cost continues to increase.
Such a crazy project requires the joint efforts of masters and science and technology, and it cannot be successful without one of them.
The surrounding marine life, etc., naturally can run as far as they can.
As for destroying the ecology, etc., that is impossible. The vitality of this world is very tenacious. A large number of marine life has already attached to the pier of the bridge behind the Dayang Group that has just been built for more than ten days, and various marine life has already settled down.
The aircraft carrier formation slowly drove past the construction site of the land bridge and gradually moved away.
But the workers on the bridge and the soldiers on the aircraft carrier waved their hands. When passing by the bridge deck, people on and under the bridge will even throw small gifts to each other.
Many foreigners on board looked at everything in front of them enviously.
This is Dayang Group, a positive, challenging and crazy group.
Continental bridges, circumnavigation, surface aircraft carriers, space carriers... Crazy moves, technologies, and projects one after another were carried out under the leadership of Dayang Group.
As the aircraft carrier drifted away, Hu Xiao couldn't help asking the people next to him: "How much black steel does such a land bridge consume?"
Feng Zhiling from Xuanzhen Sect next to him stared at the sea in a daze, and said quietly: "Roughly estimated, according to the data released by Dayang Group, the average depth of the sea is 380 meters, the bridge deck is 30 meters from the water surface, and a bridge pier The length is roughly estimated to be 410 meters.
Each pier must be connected by at least 15 semi-solid steel columns with a diameter of 5 meters. A pier needs about 60,000 cubic meters of black steel.
The distance between each bridge pier is about 75 meters, and 13.3 bridge piers are needed for one kilometer. The sea surface of the entire project is 14,000 kilometers long, which requires 186,200 piers. Considering the actual situation, the number of piers should be around 190,000.
190,000 bridge piers require 11.4 billion cubic meters of black steel. The density of black steel is 7.85, which is 89.5 billion tons!
According to the traditional iron ore production efficiency, a large workshop can produce 5 tons of crude iron a day, and only counting crude iron, 89.5 billion tons will take 17.9 billion days and 49 million years to complete!
The above figures are only theoretical figures. There is a huge discrepancy with reality. According to my understanding of the project, Dayang Group needs to prepare at least 100 billion tons of black steel!
Coupled with the pouring of reinforced concrete, plus approach bridges, etc., the amount of black steel used in the entire project may be even higher. "
Everyone: ...
If you only look at some things on the surface, you will feel shocking; but if you look deeper, you will find desperate results!
This result stunned countless people and made them feel inferior—is there really any hope of competing with such a big ocean group?
For example, this time the representatives of the Ming Dynasty turned around and looked at the land bridge gradually hidden in the sea fog, feeling a little out of their minds.
At least 100 billion tons of black steel, what is this concept?
In the land of the Ming Dynasty, the total population was about 50 billion, with an average of two tons of black iron per capita!
Based on the calculation of 1 billion tons of ore in a large mine, and an average iron content of 40%, this requires hollowing out 40 large mines. This is almost all the iron mines that have been proven in the country of Qixia! It is also all the large-scale mines currently being developed by the Ming Dynasty.
Although this is only black steel, which is processed from ordinary black iron, not black iron or spiritual materials, such a crazy output is still shocking.
Now everyone has a certain understanding: the output of iron is directly related to the comprehensive strength of a country/holy place.
Although cultivators use a lot of spiritual materials, the most common ones are black iron and steel. Steel is processed from black iron, and black iron is refined from black iron.
The output of black iron is the foundation of a large power!
Today's industrial development, social progress, war, and spiritual practice, which one lacks 'iron'!
The aircraft carrier formation continued to move forward, but I don't know how many people were lost because of a land bridge.
They have also seen the land bridge project on land before, but the land bridge really cannot be compared with the sea.
Over the years, the Dayang Group has built an unknown number of bridges, and those on land are no longer unusual. But such a crazy cross-sea bridge is the first time.
It was not until half a day later that everyone slowly reacted, and then began to whisper.
Don't believe me?
Maybe a little.
But seeing that crazy project, everyone has to accept the fact that this is Dayang Group, even though its core area is only less than 150,000 square kilometers (now the Nanyang area has also been developed), it has exploded countless big countries , Holy Land.
Hu Xiao pondered for a long time, and asked Feng Zhiling beside him: "Since Dayang Group can build such a huge project, why does the aircraft carrier only have a displacement of 170,000 tons?"
"Only... 170,000 tons?" Feng Zhiling squinted at Huxiao, and smiled, "General, you can say this after you have established an industrial system.
If it is just to build big ships, many countries and holy places can do it now. We can build ones that displace millions. But, I can't move!
As far as this steel warship is concerned, Dayang Group built the Arctic Ocean class ten years ago, that is, a displacement of more than 30,000 tons.
But the rest of the countries and holy places are still frowning over the 20,000-ton warship.
Dayang Group has a saying that it is the current supersonic aircraft. It is said that if we take pictures of the drawings in front of us, we will not be able to make them. The technology gap is too big!
We are not convinced, but we have to be convinced!
The drawings of Dayang Group's Arctic Ocean-class warships were put on sale. But even to look at a drawing, we have to hire professionals from Dayang Group.
People's drawings are placed in front of us, let alone production, we can't even understand the drawings. "
General Hu Xiao stopped talking because he thought of the drawings he had seen. He had seen the blueprints of the land bridge and seen some of them, but he was only dazzled.
He has also seen the design drawings of the car, which is even more messy-this is the eyes of non-professionals.
He also saw the design drawing of the internal combustion engine, but he only thought it was a mess.
At this time, Feng Zhiling was still slowly saying: "Dayang Group's cars are probably all independent, high-tech systems, relatively simple. But a complete technical drawing of a car still has a box, almost Three hundred kilograms of drawings.
However, the design blueprint of a steel warship weighs three tons.
As for supersonic fighter jets, we haven't seen them. But according to Hua Baixiang, the design drawings of a fighter jet weighed 36 tons, and the mass of a fighter jet, excluding fuel, was only 34 tons.
Drawings are heavier than products. "
Hu Xiao didn't quite understand it, because he hadn't formally contacted the field of industrial technology. These figures are a bit like a bible to him.
But at least the general understands: the civilized world is a civilized world after all, and the Japanese people want to gain a foothold in this world, which is too far away.
No wonder the Dayang Group and the civilized world didn't regard the Japanese and the Moon as the same kind. Bad, it's too big.
General Hu Xiao was deep in thought, but he didn't see the resentment in Feng Zhiling's eyes beside him:
Ten years ago, he and Zhang Hao called each other brothers, but ten years later he dared not stand in front of Zhang Hao.
Although Zhang Hao was still enthusiastic about him, when boarding the ship this time, Feng Zhiling boarded the ship quietly and did not dare to meet Zhang Hao face to face.
He used to be equal to Zhang Haoping, but now even the head teacher dare not show his temper in front of Zhang Hao.
And Zhao Yuhang, who he never heard of before, has now become the commander of the fleet, and he also needs to look up to him.
Feeling that his cultivation was only in the middle stage of transformation, Feng Zhiling sighed faintly. He and Zhang Hao... are no longer from the same world!
The aircraft carrier formation is gradually moving away, and the fleet is heading towards Sanxian Island. It will complete a replenishment at Sanxian Island, then arrive at Maotu Island, and head south along the route of the previous two explorations.
