The Wandering Planet

As the snow country train entered Antarctica, Qiao Li gradually could see the facilities constructed by the Antarctic courtyard project and get a glimpse of the true face of this magnificent project.

White smoke wafted over the distant Antarctic continent, which was the steam emitted from the heat dissipation of industrial buildings. The huge machinery roared, apparently in the snow and ice, but a large number of workers were busy.

Around these factories that emit huge amounts of energy, a dense circle of living areas surrounds them, forming an industrial city.

Starting from the innermost ring, it is distributed layer by layer, all kinds of facilities are available, and even the ring line connects all places at high speed. The wandering earth's heavy-duty trucks are lined up at a high speed in a convoy, which is transported in an orderly manner. Cargo travels through the city.

"That is the outer building of the Antarctic courtyard project." The snow country train guide introduced, "Some raw materials can be directly mined in Antarctica, such as the stones used in heavy nuclear fusion technology, so there is no need to transport them thousands of miles, so you need to build large Factories to process these materials. "

"When the heavy nuclear fusion power station is working, the cooling tower will emit huge heat, which can provide a temperature comfort zone in the extremely cold place of Antarctica. So workers built living areas around these cooling towers, plus The house's own heating function can sweat in the Antarctica, which is 150 degrees below zero, and there is no air conditioner. "

Near these huge cooling towers, the snow and ice have indeed melted, and you can move freely without wearing protective clothing. Of course, because the oxygen is relatively thin, you still need to relieve it regularly with a respirator.

Such cities are continuous in Antarctica, and they continue to run processing materials and provide housing for Antarctic courtyards, just like the underground cities supporting planetary engines.

All these facilities make life in Antarctica less difficult. As long as you do not work under heavy winds and carry heavy protective clothing for a whole day, it will be a physical and mental torture.

Snow country trains shuttle among these polar cities, and there are stops in each city, and they are continuously unloaded and reloaded, and transported to the core area of ​​the Antarctic courtyard project.

"It's incredible."

Qiao Li looked at towering industrial buildings, rows of neatly arranged houses, and a large number of heavy-duty transport convoys. It is hard to imagine that here is the South Pole, which is below 90 degrees for a long time, a terrible cold place.

The guide smiled, "We have survived the worse environment. What are we afraid of here?"

Indeed, Wandering Earth has been at a temperature of tens of degrees below zero for a period of time. In that case, it can maintain the operation of 10,000 planetary engines, and the experience of dealing with extreme cold weather is too rich.

Today, large-scale projects are being carried out in Antarctica, compared with the era of wandering earth, which is pediatrics. An industrial city rising up from the ground, and a snow country train across the entire southern hemisphere, have proved the determination of the joint government to build an Antarctic courtyard.

With the continuous progress of the snow country train, the main body of the Antarctic courtyard project finally appeared in front of Qiao Lu.

It was a giant building more magnificent than a planetary engine. It was a perfect cylinder, tens of thousands of meters high, and its surface was smooth and integrated, like a metal mountain.

Two huge mechanical arms carry parts at the top, each of which is hundreds of meters high, thicker than the waist of the mech hunter, and seems to easily lift a 10,000-ton ship.

"This is the main body of the Antarctic courtyard project?" Qiao Li could not help asking.

"This is just the tip of the iceberg for the Antarctic courtyard project," the Snow Country train guide corrected. "Don't forget, there are 12,756 kilometers of earth tunnels below."

The part exposed above the ground is already beyond imagination. Qiao Li can't predict what a spectacle the earth tunnel will look like.

Qiao Lu stepped off the snow country train, 2B didn't say anything to follow, and his face was still flushed, and it seemed that he hadn't eased from the incident just now.

Shen Huabei, the person in charge of the Antarctic courtyard project, has been waiting for a long time at the entrance. On the side, there is also a physicist Ding Yi, who is known by Qiao Li, is also helping here.

Seeing Qiao Li getting off, Shen Huabei immediately greeted and said:

"Director Qiao Li, welcome to Antarctica!"

He is a bold middle-aged man. He is not as restrained and introverted as other scientists. Except for the white coat he is wearing, he is no different from Qiao Lu who often encounters middle-aged uncles on the street.

Shen Huabei is also a well-known figure in the wandering earth science community, but Qiao Li has never had a chance to see him.

Because after the Antarctic courtyard project was launched, Shen Huabei stayed here without fail, and devoted all his life to this magnificent project.

"Jiu Yang's name, Dr. Shen." Qiao Lu admired and shook hands with him.

This is not a polite word. Shen Huabei is called "the father of the new solid state" on the wandering earth, and almost everyone knows it.

The new solid state he invented not only provided the technical foundation for the Antarctic courtyard project, but also an indispensable material for the construction of planetary engines.

This is an ultra-high-density substance. First, a nano-material called "sugar coating" is used to wrap an extremely high-strength alloy, and then a multi-million-ton nuclear explosion is created around it. The "sugar coating" stress balance distribution allows the entire alloy to be accurately concentrically compressed.

Just like soft graphite can become hard diamond under high temperature and pressure, after the "sugar coating" and the stress compression of millions of tons of nuclear explosion, the final material is a new solid.

The density of the new solid that is born in this way is almost the same as the specific gravity of rock and water compared with the density of formation rocks.

Therefore, once the new solid is placed on the ground, it will sink continuously like sinking into the sea ~ www.wuxiahere.com ~ will not stop no matter how many thousands of meters.

It is precisely by using this feature of the new solid state that humans will be able to dig tunnels that can penetrate the entire earth. Otherwise, such things as drilling shield machines will be enough to dig through the earth's crust.

On the other hand, new solid matter is produced through a continuous series of small nuclear explosions, so that it can also produce a variety of density levels.

Lower-density materials will not sink into the ground. Use it to create a large-area foundation. Place the high-density material on it, and its pressure will be dispersed by the foundation to float on the ground.

Using this principle, the base and pillar of the planetary engine are actually built with new solid materials, otherwise there is no material structural strength at all, and it can withstand the thrust of 15 billion tons of planetary engines.

In a sense, Shen Huabei's invention also saved all mankind. Of course, Qiao Li would like to pay his sincere respect to him.

Today's 12,756 kilometers of earth tunnels also need to be built with new solid materials from Shen Huabei. It is even more popular that he will be the main person in charge of the Antarctic courtyard project.
