With everyone working together, more than three thousand steel pillars were all set up in one day. From a distance, a steel jungle had already appeared on the moon. More than three thousand steel pillars were said to be more or less, and less or less. But look at the environment here: this is the moon!

Each steel column has a diameter of one meter, a length of 12 meters, and a weight of up to 2.8 tons. This is the most reasonable weight after calculation, and is enough to withstand various conventional architectural designs and disaster impacts. However, the transportation cost of a master company is as high as 20 yuan per gram. Such a steel column is nothing more, and the comprehensive transportation cost is as high as 56 million yuan!!!

It is conceivable how much the expert company will pay to establish such a lunar advance base. In fact, if other expenses are added, such as space shuttle depreciation, artificial, space suits, etc., to complete such a lunar advance base, the expert company approved a basic expense of up to 5 trillion yuan in just the first phase of the project - it will be added later if it is not enough!

Thanks to the over the years, experts have achieved generous returns on building photovoltaic cells for China, plundering cheap metal resources around the world, building space shuttles for China/selling a large number of engines, transporting materials for the New World space base, etc.

But the cost is also high! Over the years, expert companies have invested trillions of dollars in just building production lines, expanding new factories, mergers and acquisitions, etc. Not to mention the construction of space visors and space mirrors. The wealth obtained from establishing space mirrors for Germany and Switzerland was not enough for expert companies to build space visors; building space mirrors for China was basically paid with mineral resources - the cost was too high, so that the currency had lost its due role!

In addition, the Ministry of Space and Environment Science and Technology has also begun to open its business. Reporting and predicting space weather, calculation orbits, astronomical observations, etc. are also lucrative industries. In addition, the passenger space of the expert company is also lucrative: a normal sky travel costs 1.5 billion yuan in 24 hours! There is no bargaining. Every day, more than a dozen people enter space travel, providing rich profits for the expert company.

Overall, the expert company has a lot of income, but - more expenditure!

Just one moon's advance base, the first batch of budgets approved 5 trillion yuan! This is obviously far from enough! Because after the construction of the moon's advance base, there is also a space factory, a space factory built based on the moon's advance base! This space factory is the ultimate goal of the expert company's space construction this time. Perhaps, after the overall construction, it can be converted into Huaxia currency, and even 50 trillion yuan cannot be defeated - of course, in this space, the currency has collapsed, and everyone's real calculation method is: how much electricity is consumed, how much standard has been consumed.

If humans want to truly enter space, they must rely on the power of machinery no matter what; and the production of machinery, especially the space age, must be a large-scale comprehensive factory! And the space factory is undoubtedly one of the temporary stages and the ultimate product.

"Planned photos! Come on, let's take a photo together!"

Seeing that the first construction phase had been completed, everyone was excited to start a carnival. Of course, including Zhang Jingyuan!

However, compared to the carnival of ordinary people, Zhang Jingyuan was standing on a small hill in the distance, which was piled up by a master company, not high, only about ten meters; but he could see clearly the construction site that completed the first phase of construction. It was 1,000 meters in radius and ten meters deep; the steel column was 12 meters high and buried 2 meters underground; the top was just flush with the surface of the moon.

The reason why I chose such a construction is to be solid. In this unfamiliar alien environment, everything is calculated according to the most conservative design. Moreover, such construction also saves the cost of building a solid wall in the later stage. As for later stage construction, if possible, can I completely add another layer? Anyway, this steel column is solid enough.

The next second phase of the project is very critical, and it is also the most critical part of the entire construction! That is - cover the top!

Unlike the buildings on earth, the so-called cover on earth is more about sheltering from wind and rain; the cover here is not just about wind and rain—to be precise, there is no wind and rain on the moon. This cover must be able to block solar wind, filter harmful light, ensure normal light illumination, and can be automatically regulated; it also needs to be insulated - ensuring the appropriate base temperature, sealing, etc. Of course, the most important thing is to withstand sporadic meteorite impacts - the kind of small, less than a few centimeters. As for larger meteorites, they have rail cannons locked.

In addition, the powerful artificial magnetic field generator can temporarily ensure the safety of the base under general solar wind and cosmic radiation. However, if you are really unlucky to encounter a powerful cosmic ray flow, the earth's magnetic field will not be of much use. If this is the case, you can only admit that you are unlucky.

Looking at everyone's hilarious photo, Zhang Jingyuan could only curl his lips: Please, you all are wearing space suits, and their appearance is basically the same! Are you sure this photo can allow others to find you in this monotonous figure? If there is any obvious difference, some space suits are grayish white, and some are dark gray-in any case, they are all gray!

Even if Zhang Jingyuan is no exception, there will often be blasting here; and there will also be tiny dust floating up during the process of dumping mud and sand, which causes the moon's ground to be about tens of meters, all of which are light and tiny dust. As for the numbers on the space suit, let alone the moon has no air refracted light, which makes the light actually very dark. With the dust, the number can only be seen clearly at close range!

Of course, it’s not that everyone doesn’t know, but there are not many opportunities like this. Li Canglan, who is in charge of photography, told Zhang Jingyuan this way: It is because he can’t tell who he will take a group photo, because this honor belongs to the entire expert company, not to a certain person or a certain team.

This statement is very novel, at least in this society with serious personal interests. Especially after seeing a group of three or four or five people taking a photo, Zhang Jingyuan understood the ideas of these cute people even more. Yes, they were free to combine, with different people - but these photos did not have any personal information! After returning to the ground, these photos will belong to everyone! Every person who serves the construction of a master company!

Zhang Jingyuan was a little moved and proud: This is his own person! In this society with serious self-interest, his employees still retain a heart!

"Boss, please come over and write an inscription." Finally, Li Canglan found the lonely Zhang Jingyuan who was looking into the distance. Although Zhang Jingyuan was the same as everyone's space suit, he often contacted him. Basically, everyone could simply judge individual important people through the details of the space suit. However, Zhang Jingyuan, inexplicably, heard the meaning of ridicule in Li Canglan's words...

"Okay!" At this moment, Zhang Jingyuan's heart was warm.

But what is that sarcastic tone?

But Zhang Jingyuan doesn’t have to think about it anymore, because the sound from the headset solved Zhang Jingyuan’s doubts: Without paper or pen, how can the boss write an inscription!!!

At that moment, Zhang Jingyuan felt a group of grass and mud horses roaring by... and roaring again!

These guys!

"Boys, I'm optimistic, so I won't work hard to practice! Get up!!!"

Zhang Jingyuan shouted loudly and actually picked up a 12-meter-long steel pillar, and wrote a few big words on the sand on the surface of the moon: I would like to dedicate this photo to all the employees of the company and to our great nation; our future will be immortal - Zhang Jingyuan.

"Okay!" All the employees were cheering, and they didn't know why they were cheering. Is it the inscription or the process of Zhang Jingyuan's inscription?

But it doesn’t matter. At this moment, the master company seemed to have completed a transformation! A spirit is rising. A great national sentiment!

This is a ribbon cutting, not only the moon, but also a company, but also a nation’s ribbon cutting!

"Papapapapa..." Everyone was applauding; although the clumsy space suits and the moon without air background made the applause look a little funny and silent; but it was even more touching that silence was more than sound at this time.

"Everyone, rest for 24 hours, we will complete the work of covering the top in one go!"
Chapter completed!
