Chapter 493: The new project of the ice mining company
"The employees of the first, second, third, and fourth brigades, please go to the No. 1 login hatch to queue up and enter!"
"Employees from the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth battalions, please go to the No. 2 login hatch to queue up!"
"Employees from the ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth brigades, please queue up to enter at the No. 3 login hatch!"
...
The gentle electronic sound spread throughout the huge space on the top floor. In the shadow of the huge emergency spacecraft, countless workers wearing biochemical nanoprotective suits lined up in a neatly arranged queue and were entering the spacecraft in an orderly manner.
Time passed and it was fleeting. At this time, more than four months had passed since Luo Yuan last arrived on Earth and obtained the energy core of the giant beast. Human beings were once again preparing to step into the earth and collect the corpse of the giant beast.
In fact, after losing the energy core, the giant beast died completely after only two days. The host Luo Yuan did not want to do it himself every time to develop dependence, and at the same time, he did not want a large number of people who were unemployed again to become idle again. Therefore, the work of collecting corpses naturally fell into the engineering company that was unemployed again after the ice harvesting project.
In order to do a good job in the logistics of this operation, a large number of factories started construction day and night, and some new research results were also applied in equipment manufacturing this time. It can be said that this is a complete inspection of new technologies.
However, the project date originally formulated by the engineering company was delayed again and again.
It’s not that the equipment cannot be produced, but that the technology is updated too quickly!
With a complete glass star industrial system, you can explore and learn, especially after the opening of nanomaterial factories, even if human technicians are seriously lacking, the level of human technology is still a thousand miles a day, and new achievements will be produced almost every few days. Every other month, technology will be updated, and human technology will almost be explosive and develop rapidly.
Many times, when the equipment is just produced, you will find that these technologies are lagging behind and are completely garbage and unsightly.
The departure date of the engineering company has been delayed from one month to two months, and then to three months. It has been more than four months now. If Luo Yuan hadn't felt something was wrong and forced to make a decision, the start time would have been delayed until a few years later.
...
The crowds outside the spacecraft were densely packed, arranged in neat square formations. Cui Weichuan called his team members to his brigade square formation.
"Everyone has it, start counting!"
"Report to the captain of the brigade, the first squadron, three hundred people were answered, but in fact three hundred people!"
"Report to the captain of the brigade, the second squadron, and it was 301 people!"
Each of the workers here is reserve service, almost all have military training experience, and the management of engineering companies is completely militarized.
Because Cui Weichuan performed well in the ice mining project and was promoted, he is now the squadron leader, and the number of managers has expanded from 100 to 300.
Seeing that it was his turn in a blink of an eye, Cui Weichuan quickly raised his chest and said loudly: "Report to the captain of the brigade, the second squadron, three hundred people, but in fact two hundred and ninety-nine people, one of them asked for leave."
"Why are some people asking for leave? Is it explained the reason?" The captain frowned and said in confusion.
Since the last project, they have been unemployed for half a year. If it were him, even if he was sick, he would have to report it first. After all, this project is not at his doorstep, but at the earth 600,000 kilometers away. The company will not go back and forth between the earth for an employee. If you miss it this time, it basically means being fired by the engineering company. After all, the company also has strict discipline.
"There will be an adult exam a few days later. That person has to prepare for the self-study exam. Before the end of the world, he was a senior high school student, delaying his studies." Cui Weichuan explained concisely.
"So that's the case. I hope he can go well. No matter what, it was from our brigade." The captain said with a sigh. Now I hope the city has a strong learning atmosphere. The countless free adult cram schools established by the government have been affected by this trend. Many students before the end of the world, even young people who have worked for many years, have picked up textbooks again and worked hard for their future.
Today's society is very strict, and all resources are concentrated in scientific research. This reflects this from the size of the houses allocated by the government for free.
Compared with most ordinary people, only a nine-square-meter per person can live in a house, while a research intern or assistant engineer can be allocated to 18 square meters, which is completely doubled. If there is a spouse, the area will be doubled. As for researchers (senior) or senior engineers, the per person can even reach 100 square meters, which is also doubled with spouses.
Although he is the captain of the team, since the engineering company is still temporarily established and has not yet been established, his family's housing area is still at ordinary levels, and the treatment is not as good as the temporary technicians. The family of three can only squeeze into a small room, and it will make people breathless after staying for a long time.
However, he had no intention of dissatisfaction in his heart. Society has never been equal. It was like this before, but now it is the same. Compared to using money before the end of the world, and now using knowledge, he felt that it was more fair. If he hadn't been old and hadn't been studying, he would have been planning to consider getting into college again. Fortunately, his son still had hope.
"It's our turn. Everyone will take their place and land in Cabin No. 5!" The captain looked at the speed of the team ahead and said loudly.
Cui Weichuan led the team into the living compartment and found that the living compartment was no longer empty like before. For this mission, some modifications were made here and a lot of safety seats were added, which made the entire living compartment like a super-large conference room, and could sit down more than 100,000 people at a time.
Not long after, he followed the brigade to his position.
The safety devices on the seats were exactly the same as those in the house. He tied them with a familiar safety device and his entire chest and abdomen were immediately wrapped in soft materials.
He noticed the worker next to him, and seemed to be sitting and taking a deep breath, and couldn't help but smile: "Lao Lin, why are you still a little nervous? Haven't you ever sat there? There was no safety seat at that time."
"Captain, I'm really a little bit. You said that this big guy flew from space to earth. I felt lingering and really uneasy when I looked at it." Lao Lin was a construction worker before the end of the world. Although this spacecraft had been sitting once during the migration, he still felt a little weak.
"This thing was made by aliens. You are not afraid of space flight. You are afraid of such a distance. This is much safer than taking a car."
"Then I would rather take the bus, at least be at ease." Lao Lin was stunned for a moment and said.
The two chatted, and the spacecraft suddenly shook and began to move slowly. Cui Weichuan quickly swallowed up what he was about to say, his face turned pale. He seemed not nervous, but in fact he had just sweated. He stayed on land all his life and rarely sat on the plane. Suddenly one day he returned from space on a spacecraft. This was not a wonderful enjoyment.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and there was no bump on the way. It was not until the broadcast sound came that he suddenly realized that he had landed on the earth.
Cui Weichuan followed the brigade and was about to walk out of the spacecraft, but found that the person in front of him suddenly stopped.
"Oh my God, what's in front?"
"Is that the corpse of the mutant beast we are going to collect!"
"This is simply a mountain!"
Listening to the screams one after another, Cui Weichuan suppressed his curiosity and continued to maintain the order of the team. Fortunately, the team moved forward again not long after, and soon he saw the amazing scene in front of him.
Not far ahead, a corpse like a hill was half buried in the glacier.
Most of its corpse has been covered with snow, but from some exposed scales and claws, it can be seen that its size is quite amazing.
He suppressed the urge to exclaim and took a deep breath. Now he is the squadron leader and must set an example, but his eyes still couldn't help but glance at somewhere from time to time. Even though he had already been mentally prepared for the major project that had summoned nearly 50,000 people, he also guessed the size of the giant beast, but it was still not as good as the reality of Eleven.
Fortunately, the previous few days were all done some preparations.
Thousands of engineering vehicles and large-scale cutting equipment were sent off the spacecraft, and mobile nuclear power plants were formed on the ice surface. Today's engineering vehicles are powered by electricity. With the breakthrough of nanomaterial technology, the technical shackles of batteries have been easily passed. Now these engineering vehicles no longer have to drag a long cable.
In the next few days, workers have been setting up a large amount of lights around the giant beast, establishing construction site emergency hospitals, equipment maintenance factories, and installing all-steel scaffolding. During construction, people have to tie safety ropes on their bodies. After all, this giant beast is too huge and without safety measures, it is easy to cause accidents.
Every morning when Cui Weichuan wakes up, he wears lead-plated nano-biochemical protective clothing and circles around the giant beast. This is to satisfy his curiosity and exercise his body. His behavior is not outstanding. There are many people watching around the giant beast at all times.
Although this lead-plated nano-biochemical protective clothing has only a thin layer, it makes people feel no cold at all. In addition, it is completely closed when connected to the helmet. The cold wind from the outside is completely blocked, and breathing is irrigated by portable oxygen.
Although it was a bit inconvenient, no one dared to take off his helmet, not only because of the cold here, but also the terrible aura emitted by the isolated beast. I heard that a few days ago, a worker from a brigade did not listen to the warning and immediately fainted on the ground and fell into a coma for three days. Later, he woke up and became a little crazy and became abnormal.
Of course, these are all rumors, but he has never seen this worker since that day. That night, the captain also held a meeting to severely warn of such serious violations.
The preparations were done for five days. Early on the sixth day, the blasting team buried the explosives into the ice layer on the corpse of the giant beast. After a sound of explosion, a large amount of ice and snow suddenly slid down from the surface of the corpse, and the magnificent giant beast finally revealed its true appearance.
Without the cover of ice and snow, it almost shrank in a circle, but it made people feel even more shocking and daunting.
The silver-white scales on the body shine brightly under the light, as if they are shining, making people feel that this creature should not appear in the mortal world at all, but in myths and legends.
Its body, including its head, was buried under the ice layer, and it may be less than one-third of the exposed surface, but its vertical height is still hundreds of meters, like a hill.
Cui Weichuan subconsciously swallowed, but no one paid attention to him, and everyone's eyes were deeply attracted by this terrible and mysterious end.
