Chapter 178 Transportation ([-])

After arriving at the destination.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

That section of low mountains cannot be seen from the main river, and it needs to pass through a valley.

However, everyone has already disembarked in the main river, because technical tests can be carried out in this valley, and the project itself has to start excavation from this valley.

From the terrain scan of the drone, the valley presents a V-shaped outline with a small river flowing down from the mountains in the middle.

The engineering team set up camp beside the relatively open and flat valley mouth.

Then start to process the forest on both sides.

I saw dozens of construction workers wearing working exoskeletons. They are all new humans, and there is no problem of leaking secrets.

Pull the iron bamboo pipes unloaded by the transport ship into the forest, and then start to assemble them. The pipes are laid on the ground, similar to scaffolding in construction.

Then the racks are connected into one piece, and then the pipeline is driven deep into the ground through a small drilling machine.

In this area of ​​nearly 100 square meters, a total of [-] underground pillars were erected.

After finishing these tasks, it was already the afternoon of the third day.

At this time, on top of each underground pillar, a ground pillar just beyond the tree canopy is installed. On the top of the ground pillar, there is a green sphere that is larger than the washbasin.

Mang Shan, the leader of the engineering team, carefully inspected the lines of 100 ground pillars, and after finding that there was no problem, he ordered the technician:

"It can be expanded."

"clear."

As the switch was pressed, the top spheres of the ground pillars quickly unfolded, and the green organic matter skeletons controlled in all directions, turning into hemispherical skeletons.

Due to some differences in the height and position of the pillars, these green skeletons look like trees without leaves.

The lines connected to the nutrient storage containers deliver nutrient solution to these skeletons.

The special transgenic plants implanted in the green skeleton began to grow and develop.

In less than three days, the skeleton was covered with green leaves, which looked like towering trees, and just covered the natural trees below.

This is a vine-type genetically modified plant that uses air pineapple and creeper as the mother base. It does not require soil, but only needs sunlight and water, plus a certain amount of nutrient solution, to maintain its vitality for a long time.

Homo Sapiens calls this genetically modified plant and artificial skeleton the "Green Umbrella System."

This thing is much cheaper than the steel structure, and the maintenance cost is also very low. It is used in the tropical rainforest, disguised as a natural forest, and it is definitely more concealed than the steel structure.

Even geological remote sensing satellites have no way to detect the abnormality.

Unless someone can enter the scene for reconnaissance, it is basically impossible to find the problem with long-distance radar and photography.

In order to avoid being discovered here, Siam will set up this area as a nature reserve in the near future, move all the surrounding villages out, and set up a patrol team for the protection area.

When the green umbrella system is deployed.

The engineering team began to cut trees, and the huge logs would be transported downstream along the waterway, while weeds, branches and leaves would be thrown into the fermentation tanks of the fermentation ship to produce methane.

These methane can be supplied to the engineering team for their own use, reducing external fuel input.

After clearing trees and weeds, the ground is exposed to dirt and sand.

This is where the second new technology comes in.

In the area that needs to be excavated, drill down to the specified depth through the drilling machine.

For example, here, the drilling depth is 20 meters, and then some special genetically modified bacteria are injected down the well. Under the action of hormones and nutrient solution, these bacteria will parasitize on the rock formation, destroy the structure of the rock formation, and turn the rock formation into fine gravel .

The specific use of bacteria can be determined according to the composition of the underground rock formation.

This kind of biological erosion will take about a week to destroy the rock layer within the range of 25-30 meters underground.

Similarly, the remaining tree roots can also be decomposed using specific genetically modified fungi, which can turn these tree roots into a rotten state in about a week.

After destroying the rock formation and tree roots, only small particles of sand and humus are left in the formation at this time, and the next step can be carried out.

Injecting water and air into the well causes the surrounding formation to form a fluid boil similar to an ebullated bed.

Due to the height difference of the terrain and beside the river, the sediment will pour towards the river under the action of the terrain and the gravity of the earth, as if a debris flow erupted.

After the sediment enters the river, the air nozzle installed at the bottom of the river will continuously spray air, making it difficult for the sediment to settle down and have to flow downstream.

In the downstream near the Dangweng River Dam construction site, the engineering team deployed a large number of sand pumps to continuously pump sand from the bottom of the river, artificially increasing the depth of the river.

The deeper the downstream channel, the more sediment can be accommodated.

These river sands can in turn be used as raw materials for building dams and cities.

Kill two birds with one stone.

The sediment content of the river will increase sharply in a short period of time, which will accelerate the speed of land reclamation in the estuary delta of the Salween River.

Especially in the rainy season every year, when the river surges.

The transfer effect of formation fluid boiling technology will be better.

On the other hand, considering that after the completion of the dam in the future, the entire valley will be submerged in the low-lying area, Homo sapiens will carry out another work, which is to pump sand to fill the valley.

The low-lying area along the river course is artificially raised with the sediment in the river course.

The current project at this location is only an initial test. Once it is launched on a large scale, it will not be tens of thousands of square meters, but several square kilometers together.

Even if the mountains are relatively high, they can be peeled off layer by layer, and finally the mountains can be turned into flat valleys, so that the rivers can flow directly from both sides.

According to the planning of the project, the canal hub project in the central part of Thanyinthaung Mountains has a length of 21 kilometers, a channel width of 500 meters, and a channel depth of 30 meters.

In order to ensure that the water level can be stabilized, several large reservoirs will be built around it.

But when Wu Nan and Liu Zhifan came here for inspection, the engineering team had expanded from the previous 150 people to 632 people.

The coverage area of ​​the green umbrella system has reached 1.3 square kilometers.

Wu Nan and Liu Zhifan took a small boat and entered the green umbrella that concealed the sky and the sun. They saw the area where the sediment layer had been washed away, almost forming a small lake.

"I hardly noticed this green dome from the outside, and I didn't expect that the inside had been hollowed out."

Liu Zhifan said with a smile: "The leaves on the top are real, and satellites can't find the engineering inside."

"It seems that it is necessary to strengthen the management of the surrounding area, or should we send a division to station nearby?" Wu Nan suggested.

But Liu Zhifan shook his head: "It's too late, just use a patrol team composed of new humans. The army is too conspicuous."

Wu Nan immediately realized: "That's true."

After listening carefully to the technical staff's introduction, Wu Nan initially understood the functions of these new technologies. He said with emotion: "According to this speed, it will probably be completed in a few years."

"If everything goes well, it will be completed in about 15 months, which is faster than the Dam on the Dang Weng River."

When Wu Nan heard this time, his expression was a little helpless: "It seems that after I go back, I have to supervise the progress of the Chao Phraya River's transformation, so as not to be delayed by time."

"Although the progress has to be rushed, the confidentiality work is still done well." Liu Zhifan reminded.

Wu Nan also knew the seriousness of the matter, and nodded solemnly: "I will pay attention."

Chapter 179

Hong Shavadi.

Chin State in the west.

Due to the constraints of the mountainous terrain, the previous development here was very poor.

It wasn't until Hongshawadi's sudden change that Homo sapiens company's other vest, the Hongshawadi Development Group, invested part of its funds and energy here.

However, unlike the development strategies of other places, the Homo sapiens company has never done hard work in such a terrain surrounded by mountains, but chose to force the local mountain people to move from the deep mountains and old forests to the plains.

Unless there are very important strategic resources, there is no city planning in this kind of mountainous area.

Most of the terrain in Chin State is a mountainous plateau, and the main body is the Lungerang Mountains. The existence of this mountain range separates the core areas of Chin State, Rakhine State and Hongshawadi.

In order to solve this problem, Homo sapiens planned a railway and road across the middle of Mount Longerang, and the railway has been built in sevens and eighties.

But this kind of mountain is not without benefits.

Many secret bases of the Hongshawadi branch are established in such mountainous areas.

For example, on the south side of the Longerang Mountain Railway, in a small mountain platform about 7.2 kilometers away from the railway, there is a mining town called "Longerang Gold Mining Town".

There is indeed a small gold mine here, with a reserve of about 21 tons, but the development group disclosed that the reserve is 288 tons.

Clearly this is a deliberate smoke bomb to justify the increase in gold reserves in Honshawady and to cover up biomining technology.

Most of the more than 500 employees and their relatives in the gold mining town are new humans. In addition to the strict management of the mine, it is difficult for outsiders to enter here. Naturally, they don't know the real gold reserves.

But this town has another purpose.

That is to build a space launch site. The launch site is built on a platform on the east side of the town. It is a platform with a height of about 820 meters and an area of ​​4.7 square kilometers.

At this time, a large part of the trees on the platform have been covered by the green umbrella system.

The residential area of ​​the town is about 3.5 kilometers away from the launch site. There is a repaired mountain road that can pass large trucks.

However, ordinary residents don't know the situation there, and they all think that there is a big gold mine, and with the existence of barriers and patrols, the family members have no idea of ​​finding out.

Wang Dayou, the chief engineer who came here as a "miner", is one of the few new immigrants who has obtained the status of a new human being. He did not come from China, but a Chinese in Australia.

It is very rare to immigrate to Hongsawady from Australia.

In fact, he was forced to do so. Wang Dayou is a second-generation immigrant from Australia. He immigrated to Australia with his parents when he was a teenager, and his life has been smooth sailing since then.

After his father died in a car accident, he just graduated from college and successfully found a job as an engineer in a construction company. His income barely made up for the loss of his father.

After five or six years like this, he also got married and had children.

Until one day, a brave act of righteousness put him in great trouble. Not only did he not get praise, but he lost his job and went to jail.

During the three years of imprisonment, the old mother and wife continued to appeal, exhausting almost all the family property, and he was not released.

After he was released from prison, he saw his wife who had to do odd jobs in order to support his family, and his old mother with gray hair. He cried at that moment.

The illusions I once held were completely shattered at that moment.

Putting down the cigarette in his hand, he looked at the mountains in front of him: "Isn't it a romantic thing to create a new world with your own hands?"

As for the son who left him with nothing and charged him with Australia.

Wang Dayou had already forgotten about the other party.

After all, he tied the iron chain and shot put on the opponent himself, and then kicked him to the bottom of the sea under the horror and pleading eyes of the opponent.

"Wang Gong, in the afternoon we will go to District [-], which is the fuel storage area, and you need to check the building requirements." Wu Gang, the base manager, said while putting the dinner plates and glass bottles in the recycling bin.

"District Seven? Yes."

The layout of the space launch base is carried out around the platform in the middle.

Its layout is like a big spider, the platform is the launch site, and the external passage and other parts are like six legs.

District 4.1 is in one of the valleys, the farthest from the launch site, [-] kilometers away, mainly for safety, after all, the fuel of the launch vehicle is flammable and explosive.

02:30 in the afternoon.

Wu Gang drove an off-road vehicle and carried Wang Dayou and several other engineers to the construction site in District [-].

The road is built halfway up the mountain and is covered with a green umbrella system, so even on a sunny afternoon, the lights must be turned on.

In the construction of this kind of road, Homo sapiens companies now use bio-erosion formation technology and formation fluid boiling technology to artificially create mudslides and directly level the mountain.

For areas with risks of landslides and mudslides, the hidden danger areas are destroyed in advance through pre-emptive methods.

Although it will destroy the ecology of some areas, this once-and-for-all transformation does reduce subsequent maintenance costs.

Vehicles driving on this kind of mountain road do not have the twists and turns and frequent uphill and downhill of traditional mountain roads.

With a distance of 4.1 kilometers and better road conditions, the group arrived at their destination quickly.

It is also a small valley.

Dozens of employees are already doing preliminary exploration and setting up the green umbrella system.

Wang Dayou held the topographic map and looked at the area.

It is sandwiched between three mountains, and in the middle is a lowland with an area of ​​0.3 square kilometers. This kind of lowland has no development value in the mountainous area with a tropical rainforest climate, and it is mainly easy to be submerged by water.
