Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 991 Integrated Intelligent Launch Silo

Because there were so many people, including his own beautiful ladies, Zhou Rui took the bus and moved together.

On the way, I saw Che Qian. Compared with last night, the wound on his eye was
It looks even scarier.

This is also the law of nature. Most injuries are more frightening the next day. Maybe it was due to adrenaline and mood last night, Che Qian was still relatively tough, but today he just held his head and groaned.

Eyes full of bloodshot

From a great distance, the driver reminded them that they had arrived at the Kasute Rocket Base, but there were only low buildings around and the visibility was poor.

And they are almost all abandoned buildings.

The accompanying Onaga Shio explained: "This used to be a commercial area based on the M Army base, but now most of it is abandoned."

Zhou Rui could tell without Weng Chang Zhixiong's explanation that these were all bars, nightclubs, bubble bath parlors, dumpling skin shops and the like.

There might even be leaf shops or flour shops hidden among them.

There are almost no decent residents living here. Meijun is famous for disturbing the public and breaking the law. Living here? Practicing Gu?

Only some gray businesses can continue to operate.

The entire Kashou base area was severely flooded at the time, otherwise the US would not have given up evacuating. After reconstruction began, a place like this without even a residential area would naturally not be the primary target, and so far only a rough cleanup has been done.

Of course, the most important thing is that the construction group involved in the construction of the Jiashou base is from the same Chinese company as the Wanhu base. There are definitely some people who sneak out to "turn over the dumplings", but it is absolutely forbidden to do so openly. A few melons and a few dates cannot support so many gray commercial areas, and the locals don't have that much spare money.

Although there are so many abandoned areas surrounding the Kashou Base, which is quite unsightly, Zhou Rui has no intention of completely rebuilding it, even though it is all his "property".

Even after it was repaired, it was just sitting there gathering dust and breeding spiders.

He had become numb to his "numerous assets" in Ryukyu. The Kate base alone was 3 acres, and there were probably hundreds of scattered low-rise buildings, not to mention the buildings and public facilities mortgaged to the committee.

Zhou Banqiu is not called this for nothing
After driving another two kilometers, the view suddenly became clear and we finally entered the real base.

The door front has a strong smell of Chinese medicine. It is the same style as Wanhu Base, square and elegant without being fancy.

As Zhou Rui's most important "asset" in Ryukyu, there is no full-length portrait of him at the Kate Base because the construction here is not under the jurisdiction of Ryukyu.

There were many people standing at the gate, including Fu Rui Technology employees stationed there and construction managers.

There was no need for too much courtesy. After getting off the car, Zhou Rui greeted everyone and then put his hands on the pergola to observe the situation of the entire base.

During the two years of construction and renovation, it is impossible that Zhou Rui had not read the information. He even provided many of the designs, but it was indeed the first time for him to see it on site with his own eyes.

The entire Kashou Rocket Base, excluding the external affiliated commercial areas, covers an area of ​​approximately 20,000 acres. The largest area is naturally the countless airport runways and aircraft parking areas, which occupy at least more than half of the area.

For this part, Taiyi’s demand for manpower is not large. Even if supplies are transported by airplane, so much space is not needed. However, it was still cleared out and efforts are being made to maintain it.

Don't ask, the truth is that he doesn't need to pay for it.

The Kate Rocket Base can accommodate any military aircraft, but it cannot be without this function.

In other areas, the most eye-catching are a railway, two towers and four hemispheres.

Let’s talk about the railway first. This is the internal road of the Kate base. It is used entirely for freight and connects seamlessly from the port to the launch site.

After unloading at the port, large rocket components are transported directly by train without being disassembled, which greatly increases stability and response speed.

The two towers are naturally the "intelligent central towers". As a distributed control tower for mechanical intelligence, the technology is already quite mature. There are currently two of them at the Kashou base. There is no deliberate "breakthrough" in height and size, but in the base where most buildings are low, they still stand tall like onions in dry land.

The four hemispheres are “integrated intelligent launch silos”.

It is also the infrastructure that is most different between Kasate Base and other domestic space agencies.

Each hemisphere is a launch silo, with an above-ground section of about 30 meters and an underground section of meters. Its size can adapt to all mainstream rockets. Its biggest feature is the integration of "transportation, assembly, injection, and launch". Friends who have a big rocket know that rockets are transported in sections and then assembled vertically, starting from the bottom and assembling layer by layer with cranes.

This process usually requires dozens or even hundreds of professional engineers and takes 48 hours or even longer before it can enter the "injection" process and then "release".

The Kade base uses a semi-buried launch silo instead of a launch tower. Rocket parts are transported by rail and sent down layer by layer from top to bottom.

After assembly, the upper hemisphere will open, the rocket will rise up and launch normally.

Launch silos are not a new technology and are generally used for missiles. Their main advantages are that they are not affected by weather, work around the clock, and have a certain degree of defense.

The disadvantage is the high cost. A pit 60 meters underground is much more expensive than a building 60 meters above ground, and there are also many supporting facilities to be built.

However, the four at Kasade Base took a shortcut and made full use of the existing "underground shelter space".

According to the construction unit responsible for the renovation, the US seemed to have originally planned to secretly build a launch silo, but it was not known whether "Commissioner Smith" took too much or the infrastructure level was not up to standard, so only the preliminary work was completed and then it was abandoned for several years.

These four "launch silos" distributed in different locations actually have their underground parts connected and are earthquake-proof.

The best part is that the assembly work in the silo is carried out fully intelligently. Whether it is the crane or the connecting parts, or the injection of fuel, or even the final launch, the personnel only play a checking role.

This shortened the original assembly time of more than 48 hours to six hours, which was basically all the time for fuel injection, and the personnel requirement was only 20%.

This is equivalent to the theoretical maximum launch capacity of a well, which is eight times that of the original launch tower model. The Kashou Rocket Base has a total of four intelligent launch silos. In the future, its theoretical launch capacity will exceed the total of the four major bases of Wenchang, Xichang, Taiyuan and Jiuquan.

Currently, only one of the four launch silos has been fully completed, but it still provides redundancy to maximize Taiyi's artificial production capacity.

This is also Zhou Rui's biggest reliance in launching the "Moon Colonization Plan". Without low-cost and high-efficiency launch capabilities, establishing permanent fortifications on the moon would be like a fantasy.

In addition, the level of intelligence of the entire Jiashou base is also built in accordance with the level of the Wanhu base. For example, the unmanned factory vehicle that has been waiting for a long time is exactly the same model as the Wanhu base.

After the group came down, their first impression was that it was huge, but the wonders inside were still unknown.

Han Zinyin and Li Wenqian held up their sun hats and felt the vast expanse of space after getting out of the car.

Li Wenqian sighed: "This is too big. Even Fuda University is not this big."

Zhou Rui smiled and said, "In fact, the old campus of Fudan University is only 1400 acres, and this is about 15 times the size of that place."

It has exceeded the ordinary people's concept of area.

Han Ziyin said: "Which one is bigger, Pudong Airport or the other?"

"Well, Pudong Airport is still bigger, three times bigger."

What else can he say, Pudong Airport is awesome!
The group was divided at the door into a main team and a deputy team. The main team consisted of core members including Zhou Rui.

The deputy team leaders are ordinary employees, and they went on the visit in two groups.

Zhou Rui walked to the unmanned factory car:
"Xiao Jia classmate."

"Hello, highest authority, this is the first time I meet you, and it is an honor to serve you."

Zhou Rui said to Han Ziyin and Li Wenqian: "The Wanhu Base contains a lot of confidential information. I didn't have the chance to show you around before. It hasn't been officially opened yet. I'll take you around."

Han Ziyin smiled slightly, as if hinting at something: "Okay, we are also curious about your work environment. What makes you linger and not come back to sleep all night long?"

Zhou Rui showed no sign of change.

"I'm busy with work~"
