Chapter 181 The spaceship floats (2)
After nearly two years of being depressed under the sea and living in fear all day long, Zhu Bin felt that it was more painful than wandering around in space. Now that he is better, it is finally time to get rid of the pressure.
The huge spaceship crashed into the volcano and was crushed by 16.6 million tons of ore, most of which contained precious metals such as gold, silver, copper, and zinc. It would definitely break the heads of countless people on the ground, but for Zhu Bin and the spacecraft, it would be fatal.
stuff
In the past nearly two years, the six surviving manipulators of the spacecraft have been moving downwards after they were drilled out of the ore. After negotiating a deal with the Germans, they turned to another way. From last year to now
In the past ten months, the Germans have built three fleets of 40 large cargo ships with a total tonnage of around 500,000 tons, with an average of one round trip every two months. So far, they have hauled away nearly 2 million tons of ore.
In the spacecraft, after sorting out the parts that were useful and that were afraid of corrosion, most of the nearly 2 million tons of space junk was directly pulled out and dumped on the seabed to be processed later when there was time; nearly 200,000 tons were destroyed by molecules.
After the smelting furnace is crushed, it is cast into a 20-foot-long standard box with a mold. The box is hollow and thin, each weighing 750 kilograms and carrying 30 cubic meters of ore of about 100 tons.
Except for the tower crane and mechanical arm on the platform that lift and unload when the cargo ship arrives, most of the time, they are used to help move the standard boxes one by one from the top of the spacecraft to the sides where the ore is more flat.
On the solid extinct volcano, they are densely packed, built up like a city wall, and will be slowly lifted upward later. Now, the spacecraft has basically vacated, and the more than 10 million tons of ore in the upper part has been basically cleaned, except for a small number of standard containers.
Press down to maintain balance.
Zhu Bin couldn't wait any longer and rushed into the cockpit. Serena had already obtained the control authority and ordered the robotic arm and tower crane on the platform to slowly lift the last standard box. Six robotic arms supported the ground of the volcano to provide relative support.
With a pitiful thrust for a huge spaceship, the 200,000-ton behemoth trembled slightly as it slowly left the rock that had held it down for nearly two years and began to surface.
No matter how strong the spacecraft is, it was slightly deformed under the weight of more than 2,000 meters of seawater. It has recovered a lot after the ore was pulled away. However, as the pressure weakened after floating up, the metal structure that was approaching the fatigue limit began to slowly
The ground expanded, causing the entire spacecraft to make a strange "creep" sound inside and outside.
Zhu Bin's heart almost jumped out of his throat when he heard this. He was worried that he would fall short if he was trying to climb a mountain. The spaceship was not a submarine. When it rose from such a deep place, there was no balance. If the control was not good, it might fall apart due to its own stress.
The laws of physics must be obeyed
At this time, he was extremely lucky to have Serena's help, otherwise he would have been alone. Wal-E, who was huffing and puffing, would definitely not be able to handle the countless data that came in an instant, let alone Serena's ability to process thousands of data in milliseconds.
With the ability to coordinate tens of thousands of instructions, the spacecraft does not have a procedure to rise from the bottom of the sea. It is unprofessional.
As if being hit by a super energy cannon, the entire spacecraft kept shaking, making people unable to stand firmly. The three guests staying in the safest living cabin, Carothers, had no expression on their faces, and their eyes were dull.
Einstein knew what he was thinking, but he smiled as if he had seen through everything. He did not forget to gently pat Elsa, who was shaking with fear and holding his arm tightly, to comfort her.
Without the main engine, thruster, and protective cover system, the spacecraft is too fragile and cannot maintain overall stability and coordination. If it floats up quickly, it can basically wait to see the goddess scattering flowers and self-destruct.
Therefore, Serena steadily controlled the floating speed. At the beginning, it was no more than ten meters per minute. It relied entirely on the hanging tower above to lift the standard container to provide stable pressure, and the six manipulators turned downward, each pulling
The other end of a barrel-thick basalt fiber cable is tied deeply to the volcano, thus preventing the spacecraft from rapidly rising under the huge inertia.
This process is slow. Zhu Bin stared at the depth value and the real-time image of the spacecraft's condition without blinking. His nervous hands almost broke the alloy chair.
Waiting is the most torturous thing. Fortunately, Zhu Bin is not impatient. Sailing among the empty stars, he can't see anything most of the time. The long loneliness does not make him crazy, but it does not lack the point before him.
.
An hour later, the spacecraft rose to a thousand meters. The ship body finally stabilized after continuous tremors and groans. However, many cracks in the collapsed places inevitably expanded and water began to leak in, especially the empty and huge cargo hold. If not
The precious garbage that is afraid of corrosion has been protected. Zhu Bin howled in distress at the moment. There are only so many valuable things.
Wali, who had been prepared for a long time, hurriedly started the large drainage pump, pressurized and pumped out the seawater to maintain balance. Otherwise, millions of tons of seawater would pour in, and they would have to sink to the bottom again, and they might not have the chance to struggle again.
Two hours later, the floating speed gradually accelerated to 20 meters per minute. When it was less than 300 meters from the water surface, WALL-E stopped pumping water. The overall weight of the spacecraft increased rapidly, and the rise immediately slowed down to almost the same level, less than five meters per minute, and slowed down.
Slowly adjust the posture and aim at the parking gap left directly above.
To control a metal monster with a length of 240 meters, a height of 55 meters and a weight of 200,000 tons to accurately embed it into the berth above is as difficult as using a crane to thread a cotton thread through the eye of a needle. It is simply not possible
The average person can handle it.
Without the assistance of supercomputers and various powerful engines, even in space, if one is not careful, the ship will be destroyed and the platform will collapse. It is quite dangerous and difficult. Zhu Bin asked himself if he didn't have that ability, but he did.
Lina.
Fortunately, the time chosen happened to be when the equatorial warm current was not accelerating, and the sea water was relatively stable. When you reach more than 200 meters, you can clearly feel the shaking of the waves, but the spacecraft has also been adjusted. It takes a process to shake such a big thing, and Serin
Na decided to speed up her ascent and embed the spaceship into a square area composed of legs that extended more than a hundred meters into the sea.
The six robotic arms released the cables and grabbed the legs and steel structures on both sides to maintain stability. The protruding sliders embedded in the sides immediately played a stabilizing role. Amidst the terrifying "creaking" sound,
The spaceship floats gently to
The moment it burst out of the water, the waves rolled and bubbles spewed out. The huge hull broke through tens of thousands of tons of seawater and burst out. The water waves hit the platform and splashed dozens of meters high. There was a "rumbling" sound, which seemed to announce a peerless beast.
the advent of
The seawater was emptied and the counterweighted standard box was lifted away. Under the action of its own buoyancy, the spacecraft rose up to twenty meters above the water. Its slightly curved back was as high as the platform, like a giant whale.
It's just that the current appearance of the spaceship is too miserable. The surface armor has basically collapsed. Fine cracks can be seen everywhere. Spider webs spread out against the surface. I don't know how deep or far away they are. The mottled and pitted spaceships look like they have just experienced something.
There was a big war, or it seemed like it was being bombarded by asteroids in turn.
However, Zhu Bin and the others no longer cared about admiring or lamenting. They climbed out of the spacecraft and climbed onto the platform. They looked up at the clear and vast starry sky and greedily breathed in the smelly summer sea breeze. Einstein's body trembled slightly with excitement.
, Elsa even cried with joy, while Carothers stared blankly at the moon in the sky, as if the sculpture had not seen any movement for a long time.
"But here comes the damn Serena, you're so great!" Zhu Bin shouted out loud. Not knowing whether it was intentional or not, he hugged Serena and kissed her hard, but was immediately ignored by the cold female robot.
He picked it up politely and slapped it on the ground with a bang, causing it to fall apart.
"Husband Zhu Bin, please pay attention to your manners and don't do such impolite actions to me. It will cause me to fight back."
Zhu Bin looked up to the sky and rolled his eyes, but there was a smile of aftertaste on the corner of his mouth, as if he was stupid. After a while, he got up, and said with a smile as if nothing had happened: "What, let's quickly install the propeller.
Well, time waits for no one."
Floating the spacecraft is the first step, and how to give it the ability to move is even more important.
The super-large ancient engine with a diameter of tens of meters at the tail had already fallen off and collapsed in space, leaving only the bare buttocks and the grinning twisted bracket. The deformed hull keel was also exposed, which looked very scary.
Four huge motors and propellers were made by the Germans. After tearing open the package and looking at the four-blade giant wheel with a diameter of more than seven meters, Zhu Bin was amazed that such a large structure could be made in this era, with more than a hundred tons of materials.
The finished product weighs more than fifty tons
He didn't know that 20 years ago, the "Titanic" had two giant propellers with a diameter of seven meters and a weight of 30 tons, plus an intermediate propeller with a diameter of five meters to push the behemoth with a displacement of 66,000 tons.
Driving across the ocean at a high speed of 25 knots.
And Zhu Bin needs even more. The spacecraft does not have a streamlined shape, weighs nearly 200,000 tons, and has to be submerged most of the time. The seawater resistance must be huge, and the required driving force is even more rough. Calculated, it requires at least
Only with more than 300,000 horsepower can it move slightly faster.
Therefore, not only were four heavier and thicker propellers designed, each of the motors also had a power of up to 50,000 kilowatts. The Germans once frankly said that they did not know how large the generators and turbines would be to support such
The big ones run together, but the propeller and main shaft are absolutely guaranteed to be strong and durable.
It is obviously beyond human power to install such a big thing under the rough conditions of undulating and slowly shaking. The spacecraft's own six robotic arms, the four robotic arms on the platform, and WALL-E's own engineering modules work together to first
Make the spaceship top-heavy
Lifting his buttocks, revealing an asshole that had been violently exploded, he cut off the obstructing metal branches and stabilized it slightly with the help of a huge pontoon combination. Then, the high-energy light knife in the fingertips of the robotic arm began to exert its power, cutting through the hull and heading towards
Fill the thruster system.
This work will last for many days, but Zhu Bin can't stay here and see that everything is on track. He leaves Serena to supervise the management. He flies back to Shanghai. After a lot of twists and turns, six months have passed.
sky.
On June 14, he received another piece of good news. In view of his outstanding performance during the Great Wall War of Resistance, he was specially commended and awarded the second-class Army, Sea, and Air Force Medal, and expanded the size of the First Special Forces Group from a regiment to
The two regiments were unified under the control of Zhu Bin, who allowed the task force to choose to build a second base in the north.
Zhu Bin couldn't understand what the reward order was all about, and returned to the Zhoushan base confused. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe to the Qidian mobile website and give rewards for your support.
