October 1, 2026, is destined to be solemnly recorded in the annals of human history as a day worthy of eternal memory by mankind.

The first super huge steel plate of the "Aerospace Multi-purpose Strategic Platform" was officially laid in a huge factory located in the middle of the small basin in the southwest of Shi Old City!

This is the ninth similar steel plate produced in recent months, and the first eight have been rebuilt due to problems such as excessive internal pores, uneven alloy material, high brittleness value, low temperature performance, and excessive flatness deviation.

No. 801 Academy of Sciences' process quality requirements for the "aerospace multi-purpose strategic platform" are high to the point of perversion, to know that the time spent to manufacture such a steel plate is not counted, just the direct material costs and energy, hydropower, labor, loading and unloading costs, etc., it must be measured in hundreds of millions, the result is scrapped, so that the workers and technicians on the site are painful!

The Metallurgical Casting Research Institute of the No. 801 Academy of Sciences has set up a branch in Shi Laocheng, and about 100 experts in this field have been stationed on site to provide technical guidance and quality control of key links.

They have developed a demanding and comprehensive shell steel experience collection guide, which specifies more than 1700 quality standards, covering deformation, reverse osmosis, anti-radiation, anti-impact, explosion resistance, chipping resistance, mechanical stress resistance caused by rapid temperature changes, etc., all with unimaginably high requirements.

A chief technician who has worked in the most advanced steel plant in Xinlongguo for twenty years, saw this thousand-page quality acceptance guide, felt that his breath was full of anger, and directly found the resident chief scientist of the No. 801 Academy of Sciences and asked, asking him if he had seen or made such a steel plate with his own eyes?

In fact, if there is no such huge specifications and thickness requirements, manufacturing such a steel plate is nothing more than a bit of work, not that it cannot be manufactured, but the cost is basically calculated in kilograms.

But now it is necessary to build a behemoth 40 meters wide, 30 cm thick, and a continuous length of 400 meters, and even the pores the size of mung bean grains can be regarded as flaws? What is this not nitpicking?

The most important thing is the accuracy requirements of metamorphosis, such a large steel plate, the flatness requirements are +-5 mm, isn't this pure and funny?

An aircraft carrier steel plate is such a small piece, no more than 40 meters long and 5.5 meters wide, that is, this quality requirement, now to build a behemoth 72 times larger than the aircraft carrier steel plate, you still have this quality requirement, do you say is it perverted?

The resident chief scientist of the No. 801 Academy of Sciences was also not annoyed, and said with a smile, this is already a simplified version of the quality requirements, and all the researchers of their Metallurgical Casting Research Institute have been with the Great Demon King for three days and three nights, taking turns to fight, cutting down one by one!

The big devil king is looking at the face of the construction period is very tight, only finally compromised, let the metallurgical casting research institute to win such a most favorable quality requirements, if according to the original technical requirements of the big devil king, the maximum width of the pores shall not exceed one millimeter, that is, than the size of sesame grains of pores can not have, flatness less than 2 mm, tensile strength, impact strength are 50% higher than the performance of aircraft carrier steel, if you always think I am harsh, then I will go back, change the big devil?

The stunned chief technician shook the corners of his mouth for a long time, did not say anything, snorted a few words, hung his head and got into the car and left....

Nowadays, in the Shijiu Basin factory, cars and personal aircraft are a necessary means of transportation, because the factory is so big that you can't stand walking or even riding a bicycle!

Take the metallurgical casting workshop as an example, the metallurgical casting workshop is located under the mountainside in the west, and the straight line length from the cold forging workshop is 5 kilometers.

Today, there are about 9 lines and more than 150 unmanned commuter buses of various ring lines running day and night to facilitate the rapid movement of personnel, and at the same time, about 1,000 small electric vehicles of various kinds are prepared for each factory, as long as there is a mission authorization code can be opened, and there are many young technicians and fashionable technicians who have bought their own personal aircraft newly produced by Magic Dragon Game Technology for commuting.

So, if you are now in the Shijiu Basin factory, as soon as you look up, all kinds of flying things are shuttling back and forth in the sky, a small half of them are personal flight devices, their flight altitude is generally two or three meters, upward, is to transport small materials and parts of the trirotor unmanned transport aircraft, their full load flight altitude is generally 10 to 15 meters, up, is unmanned unmanned transport aircraft and large functional drones, unmanned patrol aircraft, unmanned signal amplifiers, etc., all day longPeople are used to the noise of "buzzing".

Because these flight devices are equipped with intelligent flight control systems produced by Longhang Industry, they have the ability to locate each other and automatically plan routes, so there have been few accidents under such high flight density.

Not only in the sky, but also on the ground, unmanned vehicles transporting large and heavy materials are constantly shuttling back and forth, unmanned rail cars are whizzing on the rails, a sense of déjà vu of the cyberpunk world!

In addition, according to the requirements of the No. 801 Academy of Sciences, the Magic Dragon Guardian Company urgently produced 100 physically enhanced "artificial intelligence sub-consciousness carriers", which have also been secretly transported to this factory.

These physique strengthening "artificial intelligence sub-consciousness carriers", all four meters tall, big waist round, look is respectful, their weight is about 400 kilograms, without the help of tools, can easily lift nearly 15 tons of weight, running is also very amazing, not to say how fast - of course much faster than humans, is to say that the speed is not fast compared to the huge physique - but the momentum is amazing, "knock", make people tremble!

They are currently only active in the assembly shop, and there are not many people who have seen them, otherwise, I don't know how many people will be intimidated by their pure strength!

Their amount of food is proportional to their physique, basically each person can easily dry 10 people's meals, this is not the end, they must also drink an orange-yellow oily liquid for each meal, and each person consumes more than 10 kilograms per day, which is very amazing!

This is only the first batch of physical enhancement "artificial intelligence sub-consciousness carrier", the follow-up plan to produce a total of more than 1,000, the more the better, how much can eventually be manufactured, it depends on the situation of the fund, because this thing, it is too expensive!

At present, because the manufacturing cost of graphene materials and two-dimensional single-wall, double-walled carbon nanotubes is only about 35% of the previous one, the cost of producing such a sub-consciousness carrier has dropped significantly, and it has been reduced to about 1.2 billion, which is at least 55% lower than before, but in this cost, the new dragon country is also a little unaffordable!

It's so expensive!

As of October 1st, just after the first steel plate was laid, the Shijiao Basin factory had spent more than 490 billion yuan, and the "space-space multi-purpose strategic platform" had not even seen a hair!

Well, in fact, it is not right, the first steel plate that meets the quality requirements has been laid in place, which is more or less rewarding!

With the manufacturing experience of the first steel plate, the yield of the next basin metallurgical casting plant will definitely increase greatly, not as pitiful as only 10% now!

At the same time, in the southeast of the old stone city, another basin much smaller than here has also begun large-scale relocation and land leveling, where the world's largest space jet engine factory will be built, and its scale will far exceed the total output of space engine production in the world!

Their task is to produce a large number of giant rocket engines for the "Aerospace Multi-purpose Strategic Platform", and the current annual production capacity is planned to reach at least 800 units, which makes the aerospace enterprises of the new dragon country drop their jaws!

Shanghai Beihai, which tasted the sweetness from the funds raised by the magic future company last time, also adopted the model of "circle money" in planning to build this unprecedented rocket engine factory, and gathered more than 20 rocket engine main engine factories of all sizes in Xinlongguo to conduct a "commercial promotion"!

The final result was unsatisfactory, only raising less than 400 billion new dragon coins, which is still a little too small compared to the scale of the magic future circle money last time.

The reason why the result is not ideal, according to the analysis after the fact, the main reason is that the scope of the money is still too rigid, limited to the domestic aerospace engine main engine factory, and these manufacturers, for various reasons, are not too rich owners, can be regarded as inviting a group of poor relatives, and the accompanying members are not as expensive as the kind of vegetable money.

However, things are already like this, and they can only be done....

With the start of construction of the rocket factory, some other subsidiary parts factories have also begun to choose to build factories in the old city of stone, and a new wave of old stone construction has once again kicked off.

Throughout October, the Shilao Southwest Basin factory produced a total of about 8 qualified steel plates, although the progress is far behind the plan, but there is also a good side, that is, with the continuous accumulation of production experience, the yield of steel plates has been steadily improved, and now for every three or four steel plates produced, one will barely meet the standard, and it is not disappointed by the hard work of the workers day and night....

In the final assembly hall with a span of 530 meters, the hustle and bustle is getting worse day by day!

Compared with this giant steel plate, the drones, vehicles and workers shuttling back and forth are the size of ants, constantly busy around the steel plate and even on the top of the steel plate....

A large number of workers wearing mechanical exoskeletons, with the help of hydraulic arms, operate a huge laser cutting machine to do open edge work on the edge of the steel plate, and they have to cut the right angle of the steel plate edge into a trapezoidal outer edge to facilitate the welding of two steel plates.

There are also countless drones and industrial robotic arms that carry out tasks such as cutting, grinding, drilling and cutting above the steel plate, and the scene in the workshop is exactly like that depicted in the "801 Academy of Sciences Movie".

It's just that the difference is that there are many more large "artificial intelligence sub-consciousness carriers" in the factory!

They bear the heaviest, most tiring, and hardest work, which greatly reduces the workload of the workers, not to mention, they do not need to rest, as long as the food supply is sufficient, they can continue to work....

In some processes, they really have to be!

For example, the connecting spindle connecting the upper and lower decks, each weighing up to 20 tons, and because the working environment of the "space-space multi-purpose strategic platform" is in an almost vacuum universe, the requirements for air tightness are very high, such a heavy and large connector, the tolerance gap of the mounting slot is less than three millimeters, almost can be said to be tight, but the installation is outrageous!

Because the weight of the spindle itself is very amazing, in the installation of careless, bump into the edge of the slot, is a hole, even with the whole steel plate to scrap, therefore, this installation work can only be successful once, there is no second chance, and, in order to ensure the airtightness after installation, but also to apply high-strength modified rubber materials in the slot, which increases the difficulty of installation work!

Even if the worker wears a mechanical exoskeleton, it is difficult to complete such work under the lifting of the aerial car, because to align the slot, it is necessary to adjust back and forth, but once adjusted, the steel shaft will do pendulum movement, you need to slowly wait for it to completely not move, and then observe the alignment, and the high-altitude driving vehicle for millimeter-level adjustment....

But for physically enhanced artificial people, this is not a problem, the two of them can easily get the installation of a spindle, and its success rate is completely 100%, without any mistakes....

As the production progress of the Shi Laocheng Basin factory slowly caught up, in the first assembly plant, the outline shape of the "space-space multi-purpose strategic platform" can already be seen, which is so large that it is suffocating on the edge of the triangular ground, densely installed with various parts that I don't know how much, but the middle position has always been empty.

This location is reserved for the core reactor body of the nuclear fission reactor, which is manufactured by the Ministry of Nuclear Industry in the Great Northwest of the Great Northwest to build a new model plant for the "Aerospace Multipurpose Strategic Platform".

Since the production process of nuclear fission reactors requires a large amount of radioactive materials, after careful consideration, it was finally decided to build the plant in the no-man's land of the Great Northwest.

With such a huge volume and some kind of mysterious high-tech equipment, it is almost impossible to transport it by land without being known! In this way, the transportation of this big guy has attracted widespread attention from the New Dragon Country and even countries around the world....
