The construction area for the base has been determined.
The next day, the construction company personnel contacted by Commander Li arrived from all over the country by special car.
Arrived in the Zhanang Desert,
Upon arriving here, the head of the construction company was immediately faced with a dilemma.
The weather in the Zhanang Desert is extremely harsh, with high temperatures; the surface temperature can even reach over 50 degrees Celsius.
There are also strong winds, lack of water, and so on.
It is important to know that the construction project will consume a large amount of water resources.
In this desert, the annual rainfall is only a few tens of millimeters.
It simply cannot meet the requirements for mixing concrete and asphalt.
"Commander Li, aren't you making things difficult for us? With this endless yellow sand, you want to build a research and development base?"
The director of China Construction Third Engineering Bureau was wearing a white hard hat.
My mouth is full of sand.
"This is the address chosen by Principal Su. You're essentially trying to move sand like the Foolish Old Man did, and you have to do it within a month."
You also need to get the construction site completed for me!
Commander Li couldn't care less about all that; if the research and development base couldn't be built,
Then the entirely new air defense system would be stillborn.
Even if there are no conditions, we must create them.
Su Lin observed the surrounding terrain and realized that the construction would indeed be extremely difficult.
Therefore, last night I specifically purchased the construction blueprints for the 404 military base from the system's online store.
This is a precedent set by China in building research and development bases in the desert.
They have extensive experience.
"Director Han, I see on the map that there is a large inland lake to the south of our base, Banma Lake, right?"
"Yes, there is a lake, Principal Su, but it's nearly 50 kilometers away from our construction site."
The middle part is all desert, so no matter how many transport trucks we have,
It also cannot meet the water resource needs for construction!
"If that's not enough, keep adding more. Bring all your transport trucks from all over the country."
24/7 transportation.
Director Han was completely dumbfounded when he heard Commander Li's order.
"Commander Li, this is a desert, there are no transport routes, our vehicles can't even transport water here."
It's already quite an achievement to be able to cross the no-man's-land without getting stuck in the desert!
And look at that mountain ahead? It's all sand, and there's a risk of landslides at any moment.
It must all be leveled.
"Director Han, we need to build a dedicated pipeline from Banma Lake to divert water from the South China Sea to the north."
"The water will be transported to the construction site, which will solve the water source problem!"
As long as there are enough water resources, the daily needs of a large number of construction workers can be met.
There's strength in numbers. At worst, it might really be like Commander Li said...
Workers from construction companies all over the country were mobilized to the Zhanang Desert.
Adopt a large-scale manpower strategy.
"Principal Su, having pipes is useless without electricity; we've already surveyed this before."
Banma Lake's elevation is lower than that of our research and development base.
Everyone understands the principle that water flows downhill, right?
Speaking of electricity and water pumps, Su Lin was already prepared.
The WS-15 turbofan engine, as a heavy-duty gas turbine, can not only power the J-20,
As long as the generator set is connected and there is enough fuel, it can be deployed immediately around the research and development base.
Building new energy power plants can solve the electricity problem.
As for fuel, the desert has no shortage of oil.
There are several large oil fields nearby.
Just ship it over directly!
As for the water pumps in the pipeline, they directly use Lotus electric motors powered by the Huaxia Type 90-II main battle tank.
With a simple modification, the water pump problem will be solved.
"I'll handle the electricity and water pump issues; you just need to focus on building the pipelines."
"Director Han, is this alright?"
Hearing that Su Lin could solve the electricity and water pump problems,
Director Han nodded quickly, having worked in engineering for decades.
Director Han was all too familiar with this kind of passing the buck tactic.
Anyway, once the pipes are laid, if there's no electricity or water, it'll all be Principal Su's responsibility.
My construction fee has already been received.
"Principal Su, there aren't even any power transmission lines here. How are we going to solve the power problem?"
Commander Li asked,
"Don't forget, we have the world's most advanced aircraft engines."
Do I need to teach you how to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy?
"That's right! Principal Su always comes up with so many ideas. Director Han, what are you waiting for? Let's get to work!"
"Roger that, Commander Li!"
Su Lin contacted Major General He Yunfeng that same day.
During Su Lin's absence, Major General He will be responsible for the security and daily operations of the entire 031 R&D base.
"Principal Su, you've finally remembered your brother. What tasks do you have assigned?"
What is the current production capacity of the WS-15 turbofan engine at the 031 R&D base?
"Annual production capacity is around 500 units, but most of them have been pre-ordered by the J-20 production unit."
Is there anything I can help you with?
"I've spoken with Commander Tang, and we'll be shipping four brand-new WS-15 turbofan engines over tomorrow."
"No problem, I'll take care of this little thing!"
Commander Tang received a call from Su Lin and requested the deployment of two large transport planes from the Northern Military Region.
By air, four WS-15 turbofan engines will be transported to the Zhanang Desert tomorrow afternoon.
Finally, there's the Lotus electric motor.
The entire lake's water transport pipeline will span a distance of 50 kilometers.
At least 250 large electric motors are needed as water pumps to continuously pressurize the water.
