Rebirth: Fight For Life

   Chapter 733 The new speed of construction of the Flint Space City

  The time entered the new year, and the Chinese people began to prepare for the Spring Festival, which was full of joy and peace.

   Thanks to the incredible breakthroughs in the past few years, Huaguo has done the most for the crisis in 2008, with minimal losses and huge gains.

   Therefore, people in this land are optimistic and confident.

   Only Gu Tao, Bao Jiaqi and others were a little surprised by the various movements in the Arab world that broke out in just over a month.

  The institutional, economic, technological, and cultural influence accumulated over the years by the world hegemon has erupted in a very short period of time, stirring the emotions of hundreds of millions of people with various excuses and issues.

   The great turmoil that Gu Song said in the information actually came.

   This is the first time that Gu Tao and others have personally believed in Gu Song's ability to "dream the future".

   They discussed in advance and prepared.

   Knowing that only those weak countries will suffer, but Ami is sucking blood at an extreme speed and accumulating energy in response to HSDA, how can the Chinese country dare to relax?

   After another long talk with Gu Song, various countermeasures started.

   The means are so violent, of course the backlash against Ami will also exist.

What   Gu Song has to do is to remind them where to start to expand the influence of this backlash, divide them, and gather more goodwill and alliance forces.

   The current state of China has preparation, technology, capital, market and future.

   Later, we will see the situation and how Huaguo and HSDA can maximize their own benefits.

   As far as Gu Song is concerned, what he cares most about, the construction of the Flint Space City, can get the greatest support.

  …

   Currently, there are two micro-fusion experimental reactors in operation.

   One is at the bottom of a crater on the far side of the moon, and the other, a flint space city in Earth orbit.

   At this moment, Flint Space City has undergone some changes.

   Originally surrounded by a ring-shaped solar panel, it began to translate with the support truss, exposing the dish-shaped space station with the ring-shaped bulkhead installed, as if adding thickness to it.

   It is already the largest human-made object in space.

The    dish-shaped space station has a diameter of 100 meters and a thickness of more than 20 meters. In the place that was originally covered by solar panels, there were still a total of four robotic arms.

  The appearance of the space station has various guide rails.

   At this moment, a module has just docked at the center of the dish-shaped space station, blocked by a circle of solar panels.

  The robotic arms began to move, and it slowly moved to the newly docked cabin.

   Various sensors such as optical lens and laser ranging on the robotic arm start to work, and under the movement of the robotic arm, the cabin section after the docking is detected finely.

   Then, the robotic arm starts to work.

  They are dismantling this section.

   In terms of ground speed, this speed is very slow.

   But in space, the sight is a little weird.

  The robotic arms automatically disassembled a spacecraft shell that was nearly 20 meters long and more than 4 meters in diameter.

   Its interior is actually full of rolls of dark material.

  The robotic arm dismantled the shell of this cabin. After removing various parts, the outer wall of the cabin also became a piece of standard material.

  In the continuous work of the robotic arm, the standard material that was originally sent to space for the bulkhead of the capsule was firstly placed on the guide rails in a planned way. The moving materials seem to form partitions. From a top-down perspective, it looks like a moving labyrinth.

  The measuring sensors of the robotic arm are obviously constantly measuring where they are placed, striving for precision.

   Then, that roll of material finally begins to be peeled, cut, and placed in place, installed, and secured.

  The outer wall of the 100-meter-diameter core cabin seems to be only a thin layer of material from this work site.

  The material sent from a core cabin section has gone through several days and nights of work, just covering the outermost layer of the bulkhead, and by the way, some paths are formed inside.

   looks like a shoddy tin model.

   But it doesn’t matter, in Earth orbit, which is actually quite a safe space environment, this is enough for the time being.

The four robotic arms on the outside of the    began to take some materials from the inside of the original disk space station and laid new guide rails on the newly covered outer wall surface.

  The material of the new cabin, including the outer shell and interior, has been consumed, but the docking port is still there.

  After the external guide rails are laid, the four robotic arms and the annular solar panel truss continue to move.

   At the same time, a new module has completed the launch and is chasing the Flint Space City, ready to dock automatically.

  After a year of completing the first flat cylindrical dish on the cross-shaped space station, it seems that the next construction work began in this way.

  …

  On the ground, turmoil is only staged in some "peripheral worlds", and the great powers are still the same as usual, with huge state machines leading the operation of the entire society.

   But the monitoring team established specifically for the Flint Space City was stunned to find that the Flint Space City was beginning to thicken.

   Speed ​​is … 5 meters per week on average.

  It goes on like this... By the end of the year, won't it become a big cylinder with a diameter of 100 meters and a length of nearly 300 meters?

   Then in space, within a year, an artificial creation the size of an aircraft carrier will appear?

   No one can sit still.

   The first people who rushed out were, of course, people in the aerospace industry and journalists from the media.

   After the voices with various purposes appeared, Flint Aerospace also held a press conference neatly.

   "The reason why the first and second phases of Flint Space City are temporarily closed for cooperative development is because its entire construction process has been carefully designed. This construction process is supported by three huge parts."

   "First of all, I would like to thank the cooperative enterprises that provide various materials, instruments and equipment for Flint Aerospace. All construction materials and equipment must first be produced on the ground."

   "Secondly, it is the stable and efficient space launch capabilities of Flint Aerospace, Huaguo Aerospace Science and Technology Group, and Huaguo Aerospace Science and Industry Group, which can transport these goods to Flint Space City."

"The third is the space construction that everyone cares about. At present, we are doing well." At the press conference, Jian Yushu put it lightly, "The entire Flint Space City, every step of its construction has been carefully designed and designed for It has designed a dedicated space construction robot, a robotic working environment, and an artificial intelligence that controls the robot for this specific task."

"The construction speed issue that everyone is concerned about is actually just an appearance. In the current Flint Space City, except for the part built last year that has various supporting functional areas, the other parts are just laying the bulkheads of the core cabin. Yes, just the bulkhead."

Jian Yushu looked at the expressions of the people in the audience and said with a smile, "It's really just a bulkhead. After a huge space station is designed to support many people working and living in it, you can imagine how many pipelines, functional divisions and Instruments and equipment. So, maybe we can finish laying the bulkheads of the core cabin in a very short time, but it does not mean that Flint Space City will be completed so quickly.”

   "Our core cabins are not built at one time. Different parts of the core cabins have different functions in the entire space city, and the construction procedures are also different."

   "The core cabin of this part has a total length of 150 meters. We expect to complete the laying of all the outer bulkheads of this core cabin in August and start the internal construction."

Jian Yushu said here, and then said: "I saw some media calling the Flint Space City a new space spectacle. Thank you for your attention to the Flint Space City, whether it's support or controversy, and the Flint Space will continue. Invest money, time, and manpower to push the boundaries of space capabilities. I believe that technology is still advancing, and Flint Space City may be built faster and faster."

   "So I think we've got to get used to this."

   was rated by the media as having some ruthless style, and after reading these briefly, it was withdrawn, and the press conference was over.

   The construction progress of Flint Space City is not slowed down by the unwillingness of some people.

   Unless this unwillingness is transformed into real actions.

   This kind of action is really coming.
