In early March 2029, the carbon fiber plants that Europa had been cultivating for several months had another bumper harvest, and they finally saved enough to build orbital elevators. The resistance organization immediately informed Beidu of the good news.
Beidu had long been mentally prepared, but was still stunned by the growth rate of the alien plants, so they simply placed a batch of carbon fiber orders directly with the resistance organization.
The resistance happily accepted the order and subsequently added several more transport ships.
The two sides have no economic ties, and there is no general equivalent. They have always been bartering. The resistance organization has identified the transport ship, and the transport ship has to pay for everything Beidu exchanges.
However, this deal is definitely worth it. After all, transport ships are the most difficult to build and consume the least resources among all spaceships. If military standards are abandoned, even the extra armor will be saved - the servants' carapace is resistant to radiation, which will reduce the spaceship's
If the basic armor is cut in half, the servants on board will not have any problems.
Look, servants are so worry-free. Unlike humans, who are squeamish and pretentious as soon as they emerge from the atmosphere. Beidu can't wait to let the experimental center clone a batch of servants and use them first... The biological experimental center does not have the ability to create a creature out of thin air, but with
The problem of cloning servants' stem cells is not big.
After Ye Han forwarded the news to Beidu, he immediately received an order from Beidu, ordering him to immediately mobilize personnel to receive the carbon fiber, not only to check the quantity, but also to ensure the quality.
Ye Han immediately launched a full-scale mobilization. In addition to the manpower stationed at the center of the earth, everyone in the base was included. Even the cooks were not removed. They were all captured by Ye Han.
Being within the system, Ye Han was a guy who really didn't like meetings, but this time was different from the past, so he could only join in and call everyone together for a small mobilization meeting.
There are not many people, so it will definitely be small.
However, Ye Han didn't say a word of nonsense. He went straight to the point and talked about the importance of reception, and then mentioned the quality standards of carbon fiber. Finally, he asked everyone to be strict and make sure nothing goes wrong, otherwise no one will be able to bear the responsibility.
In short, first explain the meaning and responsibilities clearly, and then go out with a bunch of motley crew to receive the aliens.
The aliens who deliver the goods are very interesting. They are like farmers in the old days. Each one drives a car bug, and the back of the car bug is piled full of carbon fiber...
This kind of carbon fiber is grown from an alien vine. It is born with the feeling of hooking and tangled branches on the vine. It is coiled layer by layer on the back of the insect, making people feel like it when they look at it.
The cable made of this thing must be twisting and twisting, rather than a straight and smooth line from the sky to the earth.
My balls hurt just looking at it!
Ouyang Ping commented.
Ye Han glanced at him sideways and said lightly: "I don't care if your balls hurt or not, if something goes wrong I will make you hurt everywhere."
The aliens had already driven the insects to the outside of the base. Ye Han quickly led dozens of his men to greet them. Those few people were simply shabby in front of the swarms of aliens.
Ye Han didn't care about the useless things at all. He divided the people into two groups. The more at ease and attentive ones stayed with him, and they worked in pairs to check the quality; the others rushed to the back of the base to lift the containers.
Those containers were delivered as spare parts not long ago, with hundreds of them shipped in one ship. After the airdrop, aliens still helped carry them back to the base, and now they are piled up at the back of the base.
More than ten or twenty people rushed over, and several people worked in groups to unpack the package three times, five times divided by two. A complete container could be installed in three or two minutes, and the corners and corners would be processed.
At this time, the aliens who are watching will take the initiative to take over, and a group of four people will lift the container to the front.
This kind of container is only half the size of a standard container and has a handle-like crossbar on top.
This thing was designed with rapid assembly in mind, otherwise it would not have been completed so quickly, let alone just a few random aliens who could carry it away.
This thing is made of carbon fiber, and it has to break out of the atmosphere. What’s the point if it doesn’t have any weight?
After the container is delivered to the front, it is a monotonous process of filling it as much as possible. The carbon fiber vines that have passed the inspection can be stuffed in as much as possible until it can no longer fit.
When stuffing it in, you have to be careful not to break the vines!
Because after this thing is sent into space, it must be processed with special equipment before the filamentous carbon fiber in the vine can be extracted. The untreated carbon fiber is not strong enough, and processing after bending will affect the strength of the finished product.
It can be described in just one sentence. There are so many problems, that is, there is no one to take over this damn place, otherwise Ye Han would have to find a reason to escape.
The aliens sent a lot of goods, and it didn't take long for a container to be filled. The leading alien waved his arm, and a group of aliens swarmed up. They lifted them up with a groan and left. After a while, they put them down.
Go to a nearby open space, and it must be oriented north-south.
These were all agreed upon by Beidu and the resistance organization in advance. Ye Han didn't need to follow them at all. He could just take a look at them at some time after putting them away.
The work of the inspection team is very simple. Carefully pull out a little bit of each vine and put it on special equipment to test the strength. Those that pass the line are qualified and can be packed and sent aside. Those that fail the first test are tested again in another place.
If it fails again, it will be marked as a defective product, but the defective product will be given a second chance. If it passes the third time, it will be accepted as a defective product. If it passes the third time, it can be accepted, but it is nominally a waste product.
It’s not that Beidu is soft-hearted, but it’s really not easy to save some carbon nanofibers. Defective scraps cannot be used in orbital elevators, but they can be used in other aspects. The earth has a huge demand for this stuff. Even if aliens destroy the entire moon of Jupiter
Even if Zero is fully planted, it may not be enough for human consumption.
In this way, Ye Han and a group of his men worked hard for a long time, and finally sorted and packed all the things sent by the aliens into boxes. Dozens of containers were lined up there, which was very eye-catching like the Great Wall.
It was already a little late, and Ye Han shouted on the radio: "The forward base is calling the Skyhook. Please answer if you hear it."
"Skyhook received it, please speak."
"Tiangou, we are done here, all we need is you."
"Sky Hook understands, we will start changing course immediately, wait for our news."
"clear!"
Communication was interrupted, and the Skyhook transport ship located in the synchronous orbit of Jupiter's moon Zero started its auxiliary engine and changed its orbit from the synchronous orbit to a low-altitude orbit of only more than 100 kilometers.
Because it was already dark at the location of the forward base, and the next step of work could not be carried out in the dark, the Skyhook did not change its orbit in a hurry, but slowly descended at a stable speed.
