Chapter 158: Former Friends
Under the display of the 3D image model, everyone can clearly see that there is a hemispherical three-dimensional space at a depth of about 100 meters below the seabed.
"Not bad!! It's it!!"
Combined with the shape and size of the hemispherical three-dimensional space, Yuan Shichen immediately made a decision!
"Finally found!"
Although Yang Zhonglin, Huang Zizhu, Yao Cheng and others had never seen the dome space in [Source of Creation] and could not determine what the lower hemisphere of the sea was, seeing Yuan Shichen's confident expression, he immediately understood.
"Are you sure it is the hidden alien technology?" Yang Zhonglin asked Yuan Shichen again with an excited expression.
"That's right, it's it, I can't be familiar with it." Yuan Shichen nodded with a smile, "but there is only one dome space left in this kind of dome, and the other one should have disappeared before the distance."
"That's great, we finally completed the first phase of the mission."
After receiving the affirmative reply from Yuan Shichen again, Yang Zhonglin seemed very happy.
"Old Yao, I would like to ask your three ships to continue to conduct further exploration of the target and its subsea area within 200 meters around."
"To be at the highest accuracy, every geotechnical layer must be accurately parsed."
Huang Zizhu excitedly explained the next work. Yuan Shichen knew that the data collected now is to prepare for the next development of the excavation plan.
Soon, the news that [Source of Creation] was found quickly spread within the entire Interstellar Exploration Alliance.
The science and technology of super alien civilizations are of great importance, so the alliance requires that the excavation work of [Source of Creation] must be ensured that it is foolproof and cannot cause any harm to it.
Because Yuan Shichen was most familiar with [Source of Creation], in order to ensure the smooth progress of the entire excavation work, the Pacific Base asked him to participate in the [Source of Creation] excavation operation throughout the process. Therefore, Yuan Shichen's plan to go home on vacation could only be postponed.
After locking in the target, the project team entered the second phase of work discussion - determining the mining plan.
Regarding how to carry out excavation work, many professional engineers in the Interstellar Exploration Alliance have proposed a variety of feasible solutions a long time ago. They are waiting to understand the actual burial and geological conditions before making a decision.
Yuan Shichen participated in the plan discussion no less than ten times. Because excavation projects were not Yuan Shichen's professional scope, when participating in the discussion, he was mostly silent and gave some tips when he was involved in the structure of [The Source of Creation].
Finally, after discussion by all professional engineers, the exploration and excavation project team decided to adopt the most traditional and safest offshore cofferdam method to excavate.
"This is different from digging for oil. It is not something that can be done by just one pipeline. The specific operation is much more troublesome, and we have to ensure that the entire mining process cannot be damaged by alien technology."
Huang Zizhu was enthusiastically explaining the excavation plan to Yuan Shichen.
"Have you heard of the cofferdam?" Huang Zizhu raised her eyebrows and asked with interest.
"I heard a little bit that I have seen the story of Dayu controlling the flood in ancient times and Li Bing's cofferdam."
After thinking about it, Yuan Shichen recalled the information related to the cofferdam that he had come into contact with.
"That's right, as early as the Warring States Period, Li Bing, a water conservancy expert in Qin, used cofferdam technology when building Dujiangyan."
Huang Zizhu continued with great praise: "The cofferdam refers to a temporary enclosure structure built in deep water. Its function is to prevent water and soil from entering the project location, facilitate drainage in the cofferdam, excavating foundation pits, and building buildings."
"It's just that cofferdams are much more difficult in the ocean. Moreover, this time the area we have to enclose is very wide, with a diameter of 500 meters."
"Indeed, as long as we are isolated from the sea, we can carry out the excavation work with peace of mind."
Yuan Shichen understood that this was indeed a very effective and stupid method.
"Our engineering team will use steel sheet piles to carry out cofferdams around the target, and the water pumps on the ship will continuously drain the sea water and silt in the weir. Then, professional excavation machinery will have a place to use it."
"Sounds good. When will the construction start?"
"We need to build a maritime work platform before we can carry out the next step of work," Huang Zizhu explained patiently. "Although all the members of the engineering team and the machinery are ready, we encountered some minor problems when communicating with the Dubai government."
"What's the problem?" Yuan Shichen asked Huang Zizhu in confusion.
"As we all know, the Persian Gulf is an important maritime transportation hub. We need to blockade a large area of sea areas when conducting maritime cofferdams, which will have a great impact on maritime transportation at the Minarashid port of Dubai. We are also communicating with officials from the Dubai Ocean and Port Authority."
"The communication is not going smoothly? Haven't the alliance's top leaders discussed with the Dubai government in advance?" Yuan Shichen asked in confusion.
"It was indeed discussed in advance, and the Dubai government also expressed support for the excavation work, but they hope to send government staff to talk to us before the excavation begins." Huang Zizhu explained.
"Want to talk to us?" Yuan Shichen was quite surprised by this, "What purpose did they do?"
"I don't know, can I be worried that we will be doing damage here, haha."
Huang Zizhu naturally didn't understand why, so she had to shake her head and smile helplessly.
"But maybe we will know the reason soon. Because it won't take long for the people from the Dubai government to arrive."
"Director Yang is not here, is he just going out to contact them?"
"That's right." Huang Zizhu nodded.
Not long after, Yuan Shichen saw a helicopter roaring towards Ghost One.
"There are many rich people in Dubai, and even the helicopters they ride are so luxurious!" From a distance, Yuan Shichen discovered that the helicopter was quite extraordinary in terms of decoration, model, volume, etc.
"No, even police cars in Dubai are supercars! Tsk tsk"
After a while, the luxurious helicopter landed steadily on the deck of Ghost 1.
The cabin door opened, and the first person to get off the plane was Director Yang Zhonglin. He quickly turned around and looked at the cabin door to greet him.
Then, a handsome young Dubai man also walked down with steady steps.
The young man wore a traditional Arabian white men's robe, which was loose and ankle-length. He also wore a white turban with a long shawl on his head and added a circle of hoops on his head.
"It's him!"
