Chapter 446 Galkayo Military Port
"Today, the Commander of the Sixth Fleet has announced that it has entered a level three combat readiness state."
"The National Defense Command established an automated robot combat force, directly under the Joint Chiefs of Staff. President Ellis declared that this move was aimed at encircling the security of the Gulf of Aden and surrounding waterways, and severely criticized the African Union's support for terrorist organizations."
"Some accusers claim that this move bypasses the vote of Congress and runs counter to the legislative tendency shown by Congress in Bill AMF-13."
"General Ross has returned to his homeland. The local voters welcomed the hero's return and lined the streets to welcome him. Who knows what kind of treatment he received at the hands of the barbarians?"
"General Ross has not yet provided an explanation for the video of the attack on civilians, or even given an interview, and the military has remained silent."
"Some international relations scholars believe that the African Union's move is intended to calm the situation, but it is clear that our president does not think so. This will have an impact on the waterways passing through the Gulf of Aden, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the Suez Canal, and the western Indian Ocean."
"It is expected that 10% of global trade supplies will be affected by this, especially oil and gas resources arriving from the Middle East to Europe and the United States."
"Large-scale supply chain disruptions will lead to slower economic growth in major economies, which may worsen the situation."
A robot walks in the port of Galkayo.
The African Union let Rose go, which may have eased the situation to some extent, but no one knows to what extent.
Because in reality, the situation is still getting worse.
As a poor country that has not had a stable political power and environment for decades, the houses here are already in dilapidated condition, and the so-called port relies purely on natural conditions.
The current situation requires this to be turned into a modern port.
Engineering robots and exoskeleton workers work together, and several berths have been completed first, showing clear outlines in gray and white.
A large number of engineering robots and large equipment are operating in an orderly manner on site. Giant cranes stand tall, like the arms of a giant beast, steadily grabbing huge prefabricated structures and placing them accurately on the foundation.
Swarms of concrete pouring trucks move along the contours of the pier, connecting the berths into a network.
Gantry cranes, bulldozers, wheel loaders, dump trucks, cranes
All engineering equipment has been electrified, and the structure of equipment using electric power is far simpler than that of internal combustion engines.
The designers of these devices include not only scientists and researchers from Atlas Group, but also university research teams recruited extensively during this period.
The rising prices of petroleum fuel energy and the establishment of very large monopoly groups are making people feel pressured. People with far-sightedness have already set their sights on this technology.
It's just that electric technology has always been limited by the issue of battery energy density, which makes it difficult to advance. Graphene solid-state batteries have greatly alleviated this problem. Coupled with the pressure of the situation, the current scene may even surprise Roxon.
Compared with Juya City, the short-term construction goal of Galkayu is a military-grade frontline base, and the atmosphere here will be tougher.
Lear walked in the port, assessing the progress.
[Little Octopus: Brother, the current progress in the electrification design of common siege equipment has exceeded expectations. 】
[Little Octopus: 76 types of construction machinery, 26 types of transportation equipment, 20 types of lifting and hoisting equipment, 70 types of auxiliary and drone equipment, and 70 sets of resource collection and smelting facilities. 】
[Little Octopus: Brother, I have to say that the power of the masses is really strong. Currently, there are 150 research teams with real-name support and direct cooperation, and many of them are indirect help. 】
[Little Octopus: We probably have to consider adding a reactor. 】
Although the design of electrified facilities and equipment is not an overly difficult research topic, engineering problems always require a lot of time and energy.
Such huge international support has given Atlas Group a great help.
The world is a big place. Some people want to rule the world while resting on their laurels, while others want to find another way——
The efficiency and environmental performance of SCFR reactors are amazing. Atlas Group supports urban construction and ensures the continued progress of African economies by relying solely on nuclear energy and other clean energy sources. This is convincing enough.
However, the efficiency of SCFR reactors has not yet reached its limit.
Current effectiveness is largely limited by Africa's poor industrial capabilities.
If the solidity and density of the entire system materials are increased, the theoretical energy of plutonium-239 and californium-252 is increased to release higher radioactive elements, and the fuel purity is increased to more than 5%, a 10-hectare SCFR power station can easily provide 2000 megawatts Watts or more of electricity.
If I were to say that the most powerful SCFR reactor core in memory is that, it is very powerful. The core can be regarded as a super reactor that is constantly producing small nuclear explosions.
It has only been used a few times in some very large-scale projects, because it was not designed for long-term use.
[Lille: Wait a minute, why didn’t you talk about money? 】
[Little Octopus: Brother, don’t we have plenty of money? 】
A small octopus appears in the air, wearing a large gold chain and sunglasses.
Lille opened the financial interface suspiciously.
The intuition brought by management experience proved him right:
Atlas is quite wealthy, with the credit guarantee of the entire African Union and debt squeezed out by the mayor of New York.
But this money is really not unlimited.
Atlas Group is now facing a heavy workload, with monthly operating costs and various project costs easily exceeding 10 billion US dollars.
This month has only just passed and it has already exceeded 10 billion.
This is still the case with a top research team: if a group of ordinary people were to study the projects studied by Marvel scientists, not to mention that the funds might have to be invested dozens of times, the time cost would be even higher.
If we only look at the original business of the group, the company is sure to make a profit, but with the expansion projects, it is estimated that there will soon be a deficit.
Of course, these investments are also worth the money.
[Industrial transformation is being promoted]
[Electrification of engineering, large-scale promotion of brain-computer interfaces, unmanned engineering, energy innovation.]
[Transformation in multiple fields. ]
[Reward technology points: 4000]
[Current technology points: 13500]
The electrification transformation of each device may only take an afternoon for Lille to complete, but such a large-scale change seems to have reached the threshold for obtaining system rewards.
It seems that promoting a certain technology that is not so super-standard to an industry also has the opportunity to trigger system rewards.
The robot walked towards the port, where there were three ships anchored.
The African Union released all the people, but not the ships.
The three frigates and small destroyers that once belonged to the Sixth Fleet of the Berry Army have been completely changed.
Two of the frigates have become larger destroyers, and the destroyer has been transformed into a real cruiser.
I have to say that the Berry Army is pretty good. The ships sent to Somalia are all new.
The tough curves reflect the sun's brilliance in the sun. The little blacks who have just been promoted to the navy are half excited and half nervous to get familiar with the ships on the ship.
These three ships are also the reason why Lille has been "burning his brain" for a while.
Maybe his scientists are talented and can make new inventions in minutes.
But they always feel a little uncomfortable with real weapon design.
Lille is different - participating in the design of nuclear-powered military equipment is also one of his jobs.
Now he can design such a big guy alone.
