Chapter 348 Undersea Elevator
"Is Mr. Chen planning to go to Colonel Lin?" "We have no plans for the moment." Chen Lin shook his head. He was just asking about Lin Yun's location as a routine matter and had no intention of looking for her now. Now he is more interested in the various technological breakthroughs made by Blue Star. The super-speed submarine elevator aroused his endless curiosity. In the end, the Blue Star Development Committee had to take Chen Lin to the location of the super-speed elevator in advance. , so as to satisfy Chen Lin's curiosity. Chen Lin changed to a submarine and entered a separate sea area midway. After driving steadily underwater for dozens of minutes, he finally reached the area where the submarine super-speed elevator was located. It was different from the scene imagined by Chen Lin. The area where the super-speed elevator was located was still a group of buildings, and the submarine was docked at the docking position. As the entrance docking was completed, everyone heard the electronic sound that allowed them to enter the building. Chen Lin was guided out of the submarine, and when he looked up, he saw a large number of containers in front of him. "These are all heterogeneous mineral materials dug out from the Stuttgart Mountains." The bespectacled man on the side said to Chen Lin: "We use these materials as manufacturing materials. Pioneer's manufacturing workshops use all these heterogeneous mineral materials." Chen Lin nodded and noticed that the staff were using forklifts to move all the containers to an open space on the left. A fence was built around the open space, and the color of the ground was obviously different from the ordinary ground.
"That's the area for the speed elevator." The man with glasses stood beside Chen Lin and reminded Chen Lin: "This is also the loading area. We can carry about thirty tons of heterogeneous ore at a time with this thing." "Such a big place..." Chen Lin scanned the entire area, turned to look at the bespectacled man, and asked with a strange expression: "How big is your super-speed elevator?" "It's not that big, it's about 15 meters long and about 4 meters wide." The man in glasses added: "After the goods are filled, they need to be temporarily sealed, and then the elevator is started from the loading area and enters the launch area." As he said this, Chen Lin saw the forklift quickly leaving the area, followed by a piercing siren, and everyone present stepped back. "Is it full?" "The maximum carrying capacity has been reached." The man with glasses nodded, "The super-speed elevator is about to start. Mr. Chen, please follow me." Chen Lin followed the man with glasses and walked back. Everyone else saluted and gestured to him along the way. It was obvious that the man with glasses was of a high enough level. Chen Lin followed him to a large room, where dozens of people were busy staring at the data on the screen. The ticking of various electronic devices and the shouts of personnel made the place extremely lively. "This is the main control room of the super-speed elevator. You can see the operating status of the super-speed elevator here." The bespectacled man motioned for Chen Lin to sit at the back. Someone immediately sent Chen Lin a piece of information. Chen Lin simply opened it and looked at it. It was about the operation design of the super-speed elevator. He was not a relevant professional. There were a lot of The detailed figures naturally left him confused. However, Chen Lin still read the entire book and learned a little about how the super-speed elevator operates, which can be regarded as an increase of knowledge. The largest electronic screen not far away showed the operating status of the super-speed elevator at this time - it was in a packaged state. "It takes about five minutes to encapsulate. Currently, disposable packaging materials are used, which will be completely consumed on the way to the undersea pioneer ruins." The man with glasses brought hot tea to Chen Lin and said slowly: "The team is currently developing recyclable packaging materials, and the transportation efficiency should be higher by then." Chen Lin stared at the screen for a few seconds, and then asked aloud: "Is this only transporting supplies?" "The equipment for people to ride on is not here, it is a separate design."
The bespectacled man adjusted the frame of his glasses, "Currently we are using this thing to transport raw materials and some of the completed equipment downwards, and the effect is very good." The giant elevator building on the big screen suddenly showed "encapsulation completed". Along with the loud mutual checks of on-site personnel and the sound of various instruments, the alarm sounded harshly again. "here we go!" The bespectacled man reminded Chen Lin, and the entire building in the area where the submarine elevator was located suddenly shook, just like the vibration of a high-speed train speeding from one end of the track at full speed!
Chen Lin noticed that the elevator-like shaft device on the big screen began to show downward arrows. The vibrations did not stop, which made Chen Lin feel a sense of crisis. "Don't worry Mr. Chen, this is normal." The man with glasses naturally saw Chen Lin's reaction, and he said with relief: "When the equipment starts, it needs to accelerate suddenly into the submarine elevator track. This startup requires the use of a jet engine. The vibration just now was caused by the spar engine we installed on the seabed. of." When Chen Lin heard this, he understood clearly. The crystal engine first appeared inside the invisible building, and the accompanying electromagnetic weapons appeared. The vibration suddenly stopped, and a countdown suddenly began to appear on the big screen. "We're here in ten seconds." The man with glasses smiled at Chen Lin and said: "The only bad thing about this equipment is that it makes too much noise and movement when it starts up. But once it enters the official orbit, it only takes a few seconds for the equipment to transport things to the seabed." , the speed is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary submarines.” "This is how it was done when it was sent back from the Undersea Pioneer Ruins?" "Yes." The bespectacled man adjusted his glasses frame and nodded to Chen Lin: "It's just a few more steps than what we did above, but there is no difference in general. They all start and accelerate through the spar engine and then enter the orbit." Chen Lin gave him a thumbs up. The convenience of this kind of thing has indeed made the previous method of transportation by submarine obsolete. It can transport dozens of tons of things to the bottom of the sea or the sea in just ten seconds. On the ground, this efficiency is also terrifying!
"Blue Starfish has made any special technological breakthroughs recently. Can you show it to me along the way?" Chen Lin said with a smile: "Except for the submarine elevator." "There are indeed quite a few." The man with glasses responded, "The most common thing we found on Blue Sea Planet is the wreckage of an alien spacecraft. Although many things inside are damaged, most of the machinery and part of the data are still intact..." "Actually, we really want to thank that alien cannon. The plasma rays emitted by that thing are indeed incredible!" "In the hundreds or thousands of years since the pioneers built this turret, this thing may have shot down all the alien spacecraft that flew to this planet - which also left us with enough research subjects!"
