Chapter 102: Walker is not big, but he created a legend
The construction team's logistical support was provided by a combination of citizens and former inmates. As everyone happily sat together enjoying the delicious food of Volk Planet, the aliens stranded here couldn't help but comment that they felt like they had found their dream utopia.
The construction work was scheduled to begin at 2:00 PM. The entire process of artificial reinforcement and strength verification was not complicated. Those with relevant architectural knowledge in the alien domain discovered that the materials used in the new buildings on Planet Volker during this urban construction were the recently released high-strength, earthquake-resistant, low-temperature-resistant, and environmentally friendly materials.
But this kind of building material is not even available in the surrounding star fields, so how could this planet Volk have it first?
What made him even more speechless was that the construction workers tried to cover it up by wrapping the material with ordinary shells.
By evening, the fully automatic construction robots began building the second shell. At this time, except for those who had to watch in front of the supercomputer, the rest of the staff gathered together for dinner.
According to the aliens, after dinner, it would be time to go home. If they were lucky, they might be able to enter the new buildings and broadcast the construction materials in detail to the Star Network viewers. This is first-hand information.
But they waited and waited and waited... until the dim light of the next morning illuminated their dazed faces from the center of the city, and they were shocked to find that the construction team on Planet Volk was operating around the clock?
"That's right. Besides this, we also have the upcoming starship port project on our plate. We can't afford to delay. Don't underestimate the exterior, there's still a ton of detail work to do inside. We can't afford to delay even a little bit."
The construction team members interviewed did not hesitate to show off their strength to the aliens, and also said that they used to be illegal workers and did the dirtiest and most tiring work outside.
After returning, they not only gained dignity but also learned skills. Now, staying up late at night is a piece of cake for them, not to mention that they work in three shifts. Tired? They don't feel tired at all.
"When people are building their own homes, they don't feel the passage of time. Do you know what moved us the most? We built this place, and then it will become our home."
"That's right." When this was mentioned, the other people in the construction team were all moved. They said frankly that the residential areas in the main urban area have been planned, and there is room for expansion in the future. In addition, there will be public squares and parks.
The personnel from the alien domain looked at the construction team members who were imagining the future with longing, and then carefully calculated their workload. They felt embarrassed to dampen their enthusiasm. Even if they worked three shifts day and night, it would be difficult to complete the construction of these building areas within a month...even if it was just the outer shell construction.
At the same time, satellite surveillance footage from the surrounding star regions showed a number of new buildings suddenly appearing on the previously bare surface of the planet Volk. To prevent panic, An Yuan, who was in charge of the "Interstellar Golden Corridor Project," convened a high-level meeting to explain:
Because of the use of new construction robots, the construction efficiency of Volk Planet will be faster than the normal speed.
"How fast?"
"This area and the new starship port will be built in three months."
Before An Yuan finished speaking, the people present at the meeting could not help but burst into laughter, as if they were mocking An Yuan for thinking too much. However, An Yuan took the opportunity to ask everyone present if they wanted to make a bet. The bet was that in three months, not only the main urban area that was currently under construction, but also the new starship port could be built.
"Excuse me, I know how time-consuming it is to build a new starship port. The three months you mentioned is impossible even for a single starship port, let alone adding other areas."
An Yuan smiled, took a picture of the gambling agreement, raised his head and curled his lips: "Do you dare to sign this agreement?"
When the urbanization progress reached 38%, An Yuan contacted Sheng Xia. She happily reported to Sheng Xia that the surrounding star field forces, including the planet Arka, had signed the corresponding gambling agreement:
If the Volk Planet officials really build the corresponding new starship port within three months, then all parties will unconditionally connect their trade routes to the starship port. Otherwise, the Volk Planet officials are willing to fully fund the purchase of these trade routes.
"Although provoking people is quite effective, can we really complete the construction of a new starship port within three months? I remember that it took three months to repair just one channel at the old starship port."
Shengxia looked at the statistics page of the intelligent system and said frankly that if time was insufficient, she would mobilize people to start construction near the starship port foundation, but judging from the current speed of infrastructure construction, they had already exceeded expectations.
After all, the third manual reinforcement and strength verification process is being carried out in an orderly manner. After this process is completed, the project progress will reach about 50%. At that time, half of the personnel can be withdrawn, and the rest of the work can be left to the robots.
"Is the construction fully automatic by robots?" There was hesitation in An Yuan's tone. Shengxia raised her eyebrows, signaling her to speak up if she had anything to say.
An Yuan smiled a little embarrassedly, and lamented that after she came out, she felt that the planet Volk had changed so much, and she didn't know if she would be able to keep up with everyone when she returned.
Shengxia suddenly thought of something and laughed out loud, adding a threatening tone as she laughed, "The changes will indeed be huge, with new buildings, new living areas, and a technological explosion. Hmm, if you have time, you can contact Ji Zhuifeng and the others. I heard they're going to a new technology exhibition on Yuanhang Star soon, focusing on communications."
"Okay, I'll contact him."
A week later, when the prototype of the new building complex in the main urban area was unveiled, the surrounding star field forces immediately came to An Yuan. Knowing that they had a high chance of losing, they tried to break the contract. However, An Yuan was not in this star field during this period. Suddenly, the leaders of the surrounding star field forces were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
Half a month later, the construction of the main urban area was completed, and a grand groundbreaking ceremony was held for the new starship port. The ribbon was cut in the morning, and everything from pouring the foundation to building the prototype of the starship docking runway was completed in almost an afternoon, which was truly astonishing.
A video of the construction was uploaded to StarNet with the caption: "Is this the speed the construction industry can achieve?"
A large number of Star Network viewers commented below the video, emphasizing that since the Volk planet came into their sight, no matter what magical things happened, they would not feel strange.
I've already said that with my professor sitting in the audience, the construction speed shouldn't be slow... but I have to admit, it's a bit beyond my imagination.
[Fully automated construction... I have to admit, this architectural concept is still just a concept and a vision in our star region, but on Planet Volker... this little shabby planet has actually achieved it?!]
[Please publicly upload all research data. Ah, I can't wait any longer, I need to go to Planet Volk now!]
I actually watched the construction video from beginning to end. I wanted to say it was impossible, but they actually did it.
Does anyone remember that there was a war on Volk Planet? They're already starting infrastructure construction right after the war?
With the black gold mine in hand, the world is ours. The future of Volker Planet's economy cannot be underestimated.
【Immigrate now! 】
…
Perhaps the discussion on the Star Network was too heated. Soon after, the official of Volk Planet also uploaded a collection of interviews about the construction ideas of the new starship port.
From the collection, everyone can find that the construction of the starship port, from the initial design to the start of construction, completely adopted the most cutting-edge design concept in the star field, focusing on fully automatic construction if possible. In addition, it also took into account the problems that may be caused by low temperatures and natural disasters, so a new docking rail technology was specially used at the starship port.
It is worth mentioning that this technology is still in a highly confidential stage among the star fields. However, what cannot be stopped is that Shengxia has reached a cooperation intention with the star field forces that have kept the technology secret. The inventor of this technology is still on the planet Volk at the moment, and in an interview he said frankly that he is very honored that his technology can be used in related infrastructure fields.
High-ranking officials from surrounding star regions: ...
The sky cleared up and the rain stopped, and they felt they were fine again.
On the Federation side, ever since Wei Jie was recalled to Volk Planet, the students sent abroad by the government have begun their long journey of learning, turning a deaf ear to the outside world and focusing on learning technology.
Compared to other students who already have a basic foundation, it is obviously very difficult to learn the basics from scratch. A professor once complained to these government-sponsored students in a fit of rage, saying that if they still couldn't learn the basics, they might as well go back to primary and secondary schools and take classes with the children.
But what surprised and impressed the professor was that the international students actually followed his advice, without considering their own self-esteem at all, and took classes with the elementary school students and studied late into the night.
This made the professor feel guilty, and he began to take better care of these international students from the planet Volker. In less than three months, the two sides were getting along like old friends who had known each other for many years.
He even lamented to his colleagues, "I finally understand why professors in the past all loved teaching this group of students. Not only are they not easily influenced by others, but they are also full of enthusiasm for learning every day. Well, this is really full of emotional value."
My colleague raised an eyebrow in disapproval. "It's only now. These students are still pestering you to study. Just wait, it won't be long before we all pack up and head to Planet Volk to learn cutting-edge technology."
"Well, if you say that, then all the Federation's cutting-edge research institutions would have to be moved to Planet Volk. Planet Volk is a separate region, what nonsense."
He didn't take it seriously at the time, but a month later, his colleague smiled like crazy and handed him the news about the "Wolker Planet Special Zone" approved by the Federal Bureau.
"Anyway, I'm going to Planet Volk first. You can do whatever you want."
"It's a riot. The planet Volk is now a post-war ruin. There are places for living and research, and even the starship port is in tatters."
"In less than three months, maybe Planet Volk will have rebuilt a starship port."
"Wow, if you can really rebuild one, I'll call you Daddy."
"Well, you brought that up yourself."
As luck would have it, today, when the professor happened to pass by the School of Architecture classroom, he was shocked to find that, no, this planet Volk had actually built a starship port base in less than a month?
"Professor Lawrence?" Coincidentally, the students from Volk Planet who were sponsored by the government also found him sneaking around outside the classroom with a look of shock on their faces.
Professor Lawrence: ... "Volker is not big, he created a legend."
No, then wouldn't he really have to say to his colleague: Dad?!
