Chapter 985 The Vertical Casting Shaft Is Activated! (1/2)

【

The wreckage of the pre-war guided missile cruiser "Orion" is suspected to be occupied by illegal armed groups!

Currently, the alliance authorities are conducting consultations with various forces such as colleges and enterprises to explore ways to deal with the threat of weapons left over from the pre-war era through closer cooperation.

Our reporter calls on everyone to stay sensible and not listen to rumors! While lead does shield a certain amount of radiation, hanging it around your neck or around your waist is pointless and lacks scientific basis.

The "Heavenly Man" organization surfaced! The identity is suspected to be the digital ghost of the People’s Alliance Era Expeditionary Force!

Experts from the Alliance Academy of Social Sciences published an editorial, saying that the existence of the "Heavenly Man" organization fully demonstrates that the act of uploading thoughts to circuit boards is the stupidity of "looking for a sword" and an unreliable act of collective suicide.

However, some experts from the Academy of Social Sciences analyzed that the extreme ideas of the "Celestial Being" organization are due to the fact that the social class on the Lagrange Space Station is too homogeneous, and the dilemma they face is similar to that of the Legion.

In any case, the threat from outer space has attracted the attention of senior officials from all parties.

Si Wen, Secretary General of the Congress, claimed in an interview with reporters that the respected President Lee Ming Fai will fight to the end against the forces of heaven and man and will never run away from the battlefield.

Lee Ming-hui himself has yet to express his views on the representative conference’s statement. He only said that 100,000 neutron torpedoes may be a serious challenge and that the South China Sea Alliance should develop a high-orbit anti-missile system as soon as possible.

The battle of Yangzhou has entered a fever pitch!

Shava, the new commander of the Mammoth Kingdom, runs the army with an iron fist and has stabilized the front after surviving the initial offensive.

Although the Borneo side won the first battle, due to insufficient logistical supplies and lack of mountain combat equipment, many units suffered large non-combat attrition. The Northern Field Army was almost completely destroyed in the latest breakout!

The new industrial commissioner strongly condemned the former commander Abu Saik, saying that his bad governance during his tenure seriously damaged the economy and industrial development of Borneo and was the main reason for the heavy casualties of frontline soldiers. And if you want to restore it to before the damage, it may take at least twenty years.

Although there are many difficulties and crises, the committee is confident that we can tide over the difficulties. Sawa, the second-in-command of the Family Association, once again stated at the committee that the pain was only temporary and once again called on all strata of Tiandu to unite.

According to another source, Zaid criticized Sawa in an internal meeting for being "short-sighted" in treating cockroaches and rats. It was a little girl's flirtatious progress, which was neither structured nor thorough enough.

In order to ensure the farmland along the Everliu River, he said more radical measures should be taken to attack the red soil.

The threat of "celestial beings" is approaching, but if the sky falls, there will always be tall people to hold it up, right?

That ghost place is too far away from New Sails Port. Our reporter cannot interview the suffering gods for the time being. We can only hope that they can endure it for a while longer.

However, it is worth noting that His Majesty Saren coughed heavily during this morning's meeting, which may hint that the Eastern Empire will make big moves. We will issue a special issue to explain the deep meaning behind it!

In addition, the war in the Free State has come to an end, and the police department and the Hound Special Forces loyal to the City Hall have controlled more than half of the city.

The company is probably over, but it's not certain who will win. After all, Bugra is not only a free state for the citizens of Bugra, but also a free state for the vast number of wastelanders.

Even if the local gang members are dead, the Firestone Group can still find new helpers from the wasteland.

The corporations and civilians of the Free State may have to fight for a while, and that kind of gang-like war is nothing compared to our neighbors.

Both sides killed rivers of blood in Yangzhou, and the number of casualties even exceeded the total number of people fighting on both sides in the Free State Civil War!

It turns out that not even the end of the world can stop the Borneos from killing each other.

In addition to war, other disasters are also taking turns.

Due to the vigorous development of industry in Borneo, the industrial facilities in the old Saifan Port were almost exhausted, and the industrial owners have transformed themselves into swimming athletes.

A tax bureau official who asked not to be named complained that life was getting harder and harder. He used to put some Vaseline lipstick on before going out to work, but now he can only go to the kitchen to find a piece of lard and kiss it.

Our reporter also felt that this was simply too tragic.

Of course, the tax collector's head oil did not become the food and oil in the poor man's pot. After all, the red soil did not require complicated cooking skills, and a famine that was not inferior to that of Xilan's era happened to break out in the local area.

The wise and powerful His Majesty Saren was puzzled. He claimed that although he demolished some heavy factories in Xifan Port, there were still many light factories left, and they would definitely not be stripped of all the land as slandered by Tiandu newspapers. gone.

In his plan, the west coast of Borneo could completely become the light industrial production base of the Eastern Empire, just like the Golden Gallen Port and the Baiyue Strait were to the Alliance.

We can see that His Majesty Saren is a true fan of someone, and he has been working very hard to copy homework.

It's a pity that our neighbors are so unlucky that our Majesty has to subsidize them with some Vaseline oil to help them tide over the current difficulties first.

The war has never ended. Following the Torch Church, the "celestial beings" from the Prosperous Era once again tried to show the direction of the future for the wastelanders on the surface.

It's obvious they want us dead.

Regarding the threat from outer space, the Great Rift Valley's response is no response. It seems that a hundred thousand neutron torpedoes should not be able to penetrate their shells.

Ideal City's council held an emergency meeting, the results of which are expected to be announced after the crisis is over.

As for the Legion...well, the Legion is gone, thankfully they're gone.

Fortunately, this time the academy did not continue to hide behind the scenes. It finally showed its strength for a long time and gambled on a precious scientific research ship for the benefit of all mankind!

Of course, it may also be because they were the ones who caused the trap this time. If they had not lost the scientific research ship, it might be a bit difficult for the space station at Lagrange Point to board the "Orion" guided missile cruiser.

Currently, the Alliance has dispatched the Burning Corps to synchronous orbit.

Please don’t worry, if you really can’t sleep, just think about Heart of Steel.

General McClun's evaluation was that if he wanted to compete with the Burning Legion, he would rather turn his gun and face God.

In addition, friends from New Sails Port, please don’t be too ridiculous. Your Majesty Saren probably just has a cold.

…

Regarding the "Celestial Man" organization and threats 36,000 kilometers away, neither the academy nor the alliance deliberately blocked information.

Firstly, it is almost impossible to completely hide such a big thing, and secondly, it is to avoid causing unnecessary panic.

After all, taking the initiative to disclose things will give you a chance to make things clear. Hiding it is tantamount to actively giving up the position of public opinion.

It’s not surprising that some outrageous version will be spread by then.

It is precisely for this reason that before the rumors emerged, Chu Guang asked Dawn City's "Survivor Daily" to conduct an exclusive interview with the alliance's scientific expedition team on this incident, disclosing to all walks of life the alliance's strategies to deal with the crisis. and preparation.

The reaction of the residents of Shuguang City also made Chu Guang quite gratified.

The chaos and turmoil lasted only two days.

Before the sun rose on the third day, the anxious people returned to normal.

Perhaps because they have experienced the end of the world, most wastelanders react quite calmly to the end of the world.

Another thing is that it is useless to panic about this kind of disaster that affects the whole world.

What's more, when similar crises occurred in the past, they successfully passed the most dangerous moments under the leadership of managers.

They have every reason to believe it will be the same this time.

They firmly believe in omnipotent managers...

…

The western urban area of ​​Xizhou City.

Dilapidated houses are located on the devastated ruins. Abandoned steel debris and wooden boards can be seen everywhere. The water plants remaining on the walls and window edges still seem to be emitting a moist smell.

Since entering the Wasteland Era, this urban area has been submerged in the inflowing lake for a long time.

It wasn't until Union soldiers came here and renamed the land after "Dawn" that the city soaked in the lake could see the light of day again.

But having said that, even if the Alliance brought order here, few people would visit the place due to the frequent presence of split-claw crabs.

It wasn't until the "Heavenly Man" crisis occurred that this forgotten city in the corner was once again taken seriously by the alliance.

At this moment, trucks were traveling on the road next to the ruins. It was as busy as the city center of Dawn City.

And in the middle of the dusty construction site, there is an even more jaw-dropping wonder -

I saw a towering giant well, located in the middle of the dense concrete ruins!

The huge wellhead has an area of ​​several football fields. Looking down from the sky is like a giant mouth of an abyss looking up at the sky!

What is even more amazing is not only the area and the bottomless depth of the huge well, but also the internal structure of the well.

Just like the backbone of a giant beast, one can see the steel frame extending from the wellhead to the bottom, and the well wall under the steel frame is completely made of metal, exuding a solemn majesty in the darkness.

This is Vault 100.

In order to make the "casting shaft" in the center of the shelter functional, the Alliance's construction crews removed the dome above the shelter!

Now that the dome dismantling project has been completed, the re-serviced "No. 100 Foundry Shaft" will officially be used as the engine of the Alliance's aerospace industry.

At this moment, the engineer from the college was standing above the casting well, looking down with a shocked expression in his pupils.

Although he usually laughs at the alliance's "simple and crude" industrial system, at this moment he cannot say a rash word.

This can no longer be described as a spectacle.

It's like a work of art.

"It's incredible..." After a long time, Zhong Jingchu let out a heartfelt sigh, looked at the old engineer standing aside and said, "I didn't expect you could create such an amazing...miracle on the ruins. I underestimated you. ”

There was no hint of flattery in that voice.

The old engineer standing next to him smiled heartily and said modestly.

"No, we definitely can't make such an exaggerated big guy... Strictly speaking, this can be regarded as a legacy of the Prosperous Era. We just used it."

His name is Qi Xiangsong, a professor at Camp 101 and the chief engineer of the Alliance Aerospace Industry Group.

After hearing Qi Gong's explanation, Zhong Jingchu felt a little more accepting.

At this time, he suddenly noticed the light blue light spots flashing inside the shaft, and couldn't help but look to the side curiously and asked.

"Are those flashing blue dots of light?"

As if he had guessed that he would ask this question, Qi Xiangsong smiled mysteriously and did not explain, but just handed a telescope to him.

"See for yourself."

Zhong Jingchu took the telescope from the old engineer's hand doubtfully and took a look down the wellhead.

It doesn't matter if you look at it.

When he saw clearly what the faint blue light sources were, his eyes suddenly widened involuntarily.

There is nothing mysterious about the blue light itself, it is just the sparks sputtered by arc welding when welding alloys.

What’s really shocking is the spark’s light source!

That's the light emitted by the "Cross Spider" engineering robot!

Like spiders weaving webs, they shuttle and climb back and forth on the vertical steel frame. They carry the materials transported by the spreader above the wellhead to specific locations according to preprogrammed procedures, and complete welding and assembly operations.

Under the busy work of tens of thousands of mechanical spiders, a steel structure with a density of ten thousand or even hundreds of thousands is "growing" upward at a speed that is almost visible to the naked eye!

Although he is not an expert in the aerospace field, Zhong Jingchu also knows something about the aerospace industry.

It is precisely because of this that he knows very well how incredible this scene is!

No wonder the alliance managers are confident in building another gravity well in the southern seas.

If the strength of this foundry well is fully utilized, let alone the gravity well, the alliance's spacecraft may really cover the low-Earth orbit like dumplings!

"These mechanical spiders..."

"It's the technological achievement of the survivors of Vault 100," Qi Xiangsong said, looking at the deep wellhead. "After they learned about us, they decided to join us."

Zhong Jingchu's Adam's apple moved, and he turned his gaze back to the vertical casting well at his feet. He was silent for a long time before slowly speaking.

"I remember the earliest time when the People's Federation was manufacturing spacecraft on the ground... At that time, they produced parts on the surface and then launched them into low-Earth orbit through chemical-powered rockets for assembly. It was not until later that space mining and alloys After the smelting technology matured and the space elevator was completed, the aerospace industry gradually moved from the surface to the synchronous orbit, and then moved to the Lagrangian stable point.”

Qi Xiangsong said with a smile.

"I've heard about that history. So, is this the first time we've assembled a spaceship on the ground? We're the only ones who have done it?"

"So be it."

Zhong Jingchu nodded and said with some emotion.

"At that time, our science could only analyze our own dimension, and it had not yet penetrated into other dimensions, let alone controlling gravitons and interfering gravity fields. We could only use the stupidest method to fight against those who opposed our outward migration. 'Resistance' arm wrestling."

"But it's different now. Not only can we break free from the shackles of gravity, but we can also make gravity the monsoon that drives us forward..."

When he said this, the admiration in his heart was beyond words, and he praised sincerely.

"In a sense, you did make history."

In the past, he didn't understand why most of the researchers who defected ended up going to the Alliance, but now he finally understood what those people were thinking.

They saw hope in the league that they had never seen before.

That was not a miracle created by one person.

It is created by a group of people.

If he didn't have the same mission, he probably wouldn't be able to help but want to stay...
