The landing troops who had arrived at the designated location long ago collected supplies as quickly as possible. Often the first airdrop pod had just been sent away, and another airdrop pod slowly landed.
The soldiers delivered the container to the designated location, and the engineers took out the special building materials brought from the earth from the container, and then disassembled the container into steel bars thicker than fingers.
Of course, this thing only looks like steel bars, but is actually a special low-temperature alloy.
After all the containers were emptied, a large amount of construction materials had been piled up around the inclined shaft, and various construction vehicles were parked. Everything was ready, except for the east wind.
At 0:00 on July 26, 2032, the Jizhou ship gave an order, and the backfilling of the inclined shaft officially began. The engineers first inserted the steel bars into the bottom of the shaft, then mixed the special cement and ore, stirred them evenly, and finally poured them into the bottom of the shaft one by one.
.
In this way, the nearly 100-meter-deep inclined shaft was filled in just two hours. It did not stop even after it was above the ground, and it was still filled with water one by one.
At the same time, the engineers surrounded the wellhead with molds that had been prepared long ago, and then filled the gaps between the molds. A platform with a height of two meters and a side of ten meters was initially completed.
Next, the engineers built a camp near the platform. They found a relatively flat open space, dragged the remaining containers and placed them together, and then connected the containers to form a standard Mars camp.
After a full day, the concrete strength reached the standard, and after another full day, the concrete strength finally reached the maximum.
The most critical step has come. The big guys who arrived on Mars with the fleet began to move towards the North Pole of Mars, and after arriving, they suspended over the North Pole.
Since the fleet arrived on Mars, the space station has been moving around Mars, not along the equator, but from the South Pole to the North Pole, flying around and around, so its movement did not attract anyone's attention.
The big head of the space station rushes up and down, and the small head rushes down, silently facing the North Pole, and then the head pops up silently, dragging its long tail and slowly falling towards Mars.
Finally, someone noticed the space station, and the news spread quickly. Not long after, the Leishan also received the news. Ye Han rushed to the bridge and took a look, and almost dislocated his jaw: "Isn't this an orbital elevator?"
The pop-up head is the ground end, the middle section is the low pier, and the wide butt is the geostationary space station.
Others rushed to the bridge one after another, and their eyes widened when they saw this scene.
He Lu exclaimed in surprise: "Which one is this? Which one is this?"
There are three known orbital elevators, two of which are located on Earth and one on Jupiter.
These three elevators are in the hands of Beijing and Washington respectively. They are important air-ground transportation hubs, and no one party can let them go.
Moreover, the three orbital elevators are all obvious landmark buildings. Everyone is very familiar with the appearance of the orbital elevator. There is no one like this, and it is impossible to combine the space station, low-orbit terminal and ground end into one.
A large spaceship!
Ye Han frowned and said, "Is there any news about the flagship?"
Luo Qi shook his head: "No."
He Lu said angrily: "What the hell is going on? Why don't you let us know anything?"
Ye Han also had the same doubts, but as the captain of a ship, he couldn't vent his emotions regardless, but had to appease other people's dissatisfaction: "There must be a reason why the higher-ups didn't say it. Besides, even if it was said, you still have to
Can you go over and help? Our mission is to protect the transport ship, not to build a Mars base with the engineers!"
After hearing what Ye Han said, everyone stopped talking, but only they knew what they were thinking.
After a while, He Lu whispered: "Can orbital elevators be installed in the polar regions?"
Luo Qi instinctively looked at Ye Han. Ye Han smiled slightly and winked at Luo Qi, telling him to be quiet.
Luo Qi pursed his lips and finally said nothing.
At this time, the ground end had flown more than 100 kilometers away from the main body. The space station finally launched the low-orbit dock. The ground end and the low-orbit dock flew directly to the North Pole of Mars in tandem.
Everyone was surprised to find that both the ground end and the low-orbit dock were equipped with propulsion devices, and the flight speed was getting faster and faster.
More than two hours later, when the ground end was halfway through its journey, the propellers turned from propulsion to braking.
Another two hours later, when the ground end approached the Martian atmosphere, its speed had slowed down and it slowly descended at a very low speed. It was not until half an hour later that the ground end fell to the ground.
Engineers who had been waiting for several hours rushed forward, grabbed the ground end with various tools, and worked together to stuff it into the base reserved in the center of the platform.
Most of the ground end is stuffed under the platform, and then the locking device locks the ground end firmly... If the engineering staff looks up, they can see the cable above swaying lightly in the wind, which is called slack.
At this time, the space station suspended more than 20,000 kilometers away moved, with the ground end as the center, heading towards the equator of Mars.
The ground end fixed on the platform also slowly fell down as the cable tilted. It can be predicted that when the cable is completely flat, the ground end will not be on the vertical platform, but lying on the platform.
He Lu reacted the fastest, slapping his forehead and shouting: "I understand, I understand!"
There were also several bridge officers who responded quickly and figured out how to install orbital elevators in the polar regions. Everyone talked about it and admired the person who came up with this idea.
Luo Qi looked at Ye Han again. Ye Han smiled slightly and shook his head slightly at Luo Qi.
It is true that he came up with the method, but he has long since passed his youthful and frivolous stage, and will never announce that he is the person everyone is talking about at this time.
Luo Qi suddenly said: "Would the Yankees be willing to put this kind of orbital elevator in the North Pole?"
He Ludao: "I definitely don't want to. It must be some agreement reached with the Americans... Captain, what do you think?"
"That should be the case. It may also be possible to jointly develop the Arctic first, and then develop the Antarctic when the time is right."
"This is interesting." Luo Qi sneered, "After the base is built, whose base will it belong to?"
"It depends on what the agreement says!" He Lu said, "If the Americans are not convinced, let them build their own orbital elevator and install it in the Antarctic."
"Nonsense, if they had the ability, how could they buy an orbital elevator from us?" Luo Qi looked disdainful.
"That's not true. Maybe the Yankees have already bought it and are just waiting for it to be delivered after completion!" Ye Han touched his chin and joined in the fun.
"That's a good relationship!" He Lu smiled happily, "It was originally a one-time deal, but it turned into a business."
A flash of light suddenly flashed in Ye Han's mind: "Is this the orbital elevator in Europe?"
Four pictures with corners, you are not as stupid as me!!!!!
