Chapter 1613

June 6, 2126.

For people living in China, today is definitely an extraordinary day.

The reason for this is not that there are three sixes on the calendar of this day, but that the engineers on the Tianting and Penglai construction sites finally tightened the last screw marking the completion of the project in the early hours of this day.

Thus, it also marks the greatest miracle in the history of human architecture and art. At this moment, it finally announced its completion.

There has never been a nation in this land that can complete such a magnificent spectacle in only half a year.

Even if they are just a component of the space elevator project, they are still worthy of the title of miracle in terms of their majesty.

Standing on the deck of the cruise ship, holding the camera in his hand, Hamilton looked at the silver bright spot on the sea level in the distance with complex expression.

He is a reporter from the North Sea alliance, affiliated to the BBC group, which has a long history. In recent years, he has interviewed many scientific research institutions and academic centers. He has shot countless interview videos and written countless science and technology reviews. He has seen a lot of strange things.

However, this is the first time that he has been deeply impressed by his interviewees during the interview - even shocked his soul.

Chaoyang left mottled traces in the Pacific Ocean. Where the waves and clouds meet, the fortress on the sea level, like the fairy mountain in the ancient Oriental Myth, exudes boundless mystery and majesty.

Also shocked by this scene.

Standing next to Hamilton, a Western journalist with curly hair looked at the direction of the sea and sky, and could not help muttering.

"Tianting space station and Penglai City are completed at the same time Shetter, don't those guys have weekends? "

"I think It may not have anything to do with having a weekend. "

Noting that the peer looked at himself, Hamilton continued with a helpless expression on his face.

"At present, many countries in the North Sea alliance have cancelled social welfare and removed the unfavorable terms of labor law for enterprises, but they have not reversed the backward situation of productivity I heard that the automation construction of East Asia heavy industry has developed to an unimaginable level. I remember the last time I interviewed them, they showed me the latest worker bee system. "

"What is that?"

"An automated construction system, each set of equipment consists of about one drone beehive, one to two hundred small drones and twenty large and medium-sized drones. When the construction procedures are set, they move like a wasp building a nest," he continued, shrugging his shoulders slightly and responding to his curious vision. "It is said that long ago they would Similar technologies have been used in the battlefield, and recently new ways of building houses have been developed. "

The peer standing next to me opened his mouth after listening and didn't speak for a long time.

Just at this time, the cruise ship whistled, interrupting people's eyes and thoughts that had been stuck.

Hamilton also took back his sight from the perspective of Penglai City and turned to the direction of the cabin.

Ten minutes to go.

The whistle is to remind them that it's time to pack up and land

……

Because he won't be here for long, he doesn't carry much luggage with him, and a suitcase is enough for all. After putting the folded clothes into the box, he came to the side of the deck gangway with the tide of people and prepared to board the port of Penglai.

While waiting in line, Hamilton looked closely at the "steel city" beside him.

As before, the only difference was that he felt the grandeur and majesty more deeply when he stood beside him.

Although so far there is no one in the city except the constructors, he has been able to imagine how prosperous the roads here will be when they are filled with traffic.

It is said that as early as the start of construction, the real estate in Penglai City has been pre sold on the Internet. After seeing the supporting facilities in the city and the future development prospects, those houses and shops hanging out were snapped up in less than a day.

To be honest, there was a pity in Hamilton's mind.

If he could go back to the past, he would surely try to buy a set by lottery.

With the tide of people stepping on the steel city, he has 120 points to be sure that those who are lucky enough to buy will not lose, and those who have thought about it but haven't made it because of hesitation will regret it.

At least, he regrets

The Secretary of President Li Guangya, whose name is Wei Song, is responsible for the reception of these international journalists.

It's not easy for a "Beihai man" to pronounce Chinese names in a low pitched voice, but Hamilton has practiced it many times before, so he doesn't worry about making jokes in the following interviews and questions.It is a basic skill for an international journalist in the 22nd century to master the pronunciation of Putonghua.

It's a great honor to have the first chance to speak, said Hamilton in a clear voice after clearing his voice and hovering forward in the interview drone.

"After coming here, I feel like I'm standing on a living miracle. May I ask you, in order to build this maritime city Or how much material does the sea port of the space elevator cost? "

Wei Song smiled and replied.

"About 110 million tons of steel."

Although it was said in a light tone, all the reporters at the scene could not help but take a breath after hearing the number.

110 million tons of steel!

If you use these steel to build a star ship, it's no problem to expand the Pan Asian first fleet to an air mother battle group.

However, Wei Song's words are not finished yet.

After a pause, he continued.

"besides, there are 3 million tons of aluminum alloy foam and 36 million tons of titanium alloy. I'm afraid that only statistics department or East Asia heavy industry can give an accurate figure of how much material has been consumed. I only know about it. "

When Hamilton's question was over, he simply thanked him and then backed away. At this time, standing next to him, another reporter with a Darker Complexion asked questions.

"Such a large metal island Who will be here? "

"Anyone who is interested in the space trade," Wei continued with a smile, "including, of course, those who are interested in the space trade. In the future, Penglai will be a key link between the earth and the high orbit. I believe there are still many people interested in it. "

"What do you think of the sovereignty of this island?" A female reporter suddenly stepped forward and asked a special question, "we all know that this city is under the actual control of Pan Asian cooperation, but this sea area is the international high sea."

It has to be said that this is a very acute problem.

But will hear this question, actually also is in Wei Song's expectation.

At the previous international summit, Secretary General Wu Shuhua had a water battle with foreign ministers of other regional alliances on this issue. Now, the general public opinion in the international community is worried about Pan Asian cooperation taking this high sea as its own.

Especially after a close look at the magnificence of this spectacle, it is impossible for journalists from other regional alliances to say that they have no fear in their hearts

However, for these worries and fears, Wei song can only say that it is too naive.

Even if they really have any idea, how can they only think about a piece of high seas?

However, he just said it in his heart.

As a conscientious secretary, it is impossible for him to cause unnecessary troubles to the director general.

"It's a little superfluous."

Hearing this unexpected answer, the female reporter raised her eyebrows slightly and continued to ask.

"Why do you say that?"

"The position of Pan Asian cooperation has always been very clear. As we announced in our joint initiative on space elevators, we are willing to cooperate with the international community on the basis of friendly cooperation to make common use of the port, including the space station directly above the port and the elevator to be located here."

At this point, Wei Song paused for a moment, smiled and continued.

"As for what you said, it doesn't matter at all."

"We are on the same planet, and we are about to go further than ever before. At this moment, our destiny has never been so closely linked. Do you understand what I mean? On the issue of space, we share weal and woe. "

This sentence is water tight. It not only makes clear its position, but also avoids the most sensitive issue of territorial sea ownership.

However, Hamilton always felt that something was wrong.

What is sharing weal and woe on space?

When did they discuss space?

Don't you

Are these Asians going to dig through the old accounts of history and dig out the banner of the people's Federation from the grave?

For some reason, it occurred to Hamilton that it had happened some time ago.

Qinling of the first fleet successfully completed the first superluminal transition in human history.

Although it's a little difficult to colonize the world outside the solar system at the speed of five minutes and 100 million kilometers, it's a bit intriguing for the Secretary of the director general's office to say these words at this special time.

Obviously, she also noticed something. The female reporter frowned and continued to ask, "I'm sorry, can you tell me more about it?"

However, in the face of her continued questioning, Secretary Wei only responded with a meaningful smile and made no comment."That's the end of the question time. After that, we can wait until we get back to the ship to discuss this issue If at that time someone was interested in this topic. "

He clapped his hand gently, motioned for everyone to look to his side, cleared his throat and continued.

"From now on, until dinner in the evening, you can walk around here and take photos. But my advice is not to go too far. After all, the public transportation system here has not been put into operation, and there is no taxi on the street

"If you have any trouble, please contact me."

"Have a good time."
