Elena was invited to stay one night in the Manu brothers' den. Before she could say goodbye early the next morning, something happened outside.
"It's not good! The crack on the South Pass has widened, and the elevator is out of position and can't be moved." The person who came to report early in the morning was a little boy from the orphanage. He didn't pay attention to school and didn't register for the magic academy. Now he can only hang out at the freight station. .
There was a bit of a shock at night, but Elena's focus was a little off, and she asked in confusion: "How come the lift is not moving?"
Brother Manu went to ask for details. Brother Manu came over and explained: "Our family supplies some coking coal to the Phoenix Iron Works. This month's goods will arrive today or tomorrow."
"Oh, are you going there?"
In fact, it doesn't matter whether the Manu brothers go or not. It's not their turn to do things. They have to wait in line to solve the backlog. Delivery delays are also force majeure, so don't worry.
But when Elena asked, she naturally wanted to go: "Go, of course, do you want to go and have a look too?"
"Then let's walk."
Brother Manu heard from the side, patted his little brother, and whispered to explain who Elena was, and the four of them went to the South Pass to watch.
The residence is still nearly three kilometers away from the South Pass. By the time they arrived, the Xincheng City Defense Army and the Red Rock City Defense Army were already on the scene, maintaining order on both sides and preventing people from accidentally falling into the crack due to the crowds. .
Looking at the battle, it seemed that the matter was a bit big, but Elena did not take out her pass and pushed forward.
Even though she is retired now, she can actually enter many places that ordinary people cannot enter, and there are two ways of access.
One is a special pass, similar to what the institute personnel use to go to the Golden and Red Fortress, and the other is to directly show the medal.
Medals are honors and have collection value, and if they are supported by practical functions, they can in turn increase their honor attributes.
With this in mind, the first version of the Medal Law, which was introduced after the batch distribution of medals, also stipulated some privileges, many of which were to protect the lives of soldiers who retired due to disability and provide preferential treatment to the families of martyrs. The real privilege is to use it as a pass and a ticket. In the accident handling situation like this, you will be arranged with a temporary expert team, and you cannot go in to criticize; when replacing the ticket, you can only take ordinary passengers, that is, the railway bureau entrusts Didian Passenger Transport Company to operate Because you need to leave a certificate for the company's account reimbursement, it may not be more convenient than buying a ticket.
Without any privileges, the four of them could only squeeze in with the others. Fortunately, the three brothers were relatively big, so Elena was not squeezed.
After squeezing for a long time, I squeezed into the consultation desk, where a large group of people gathered around and noisily inquired about the situation and progress.
Brother Manu is the owner of the goods and is one of the parties involved. He is still a little different from the general chattering crowd. He needs to explain carefully. He shows the goods list here and is taken to another hall.
Calling it a hall is being polite, because the construction, loading, unloading, and maintenance tasks here in the crack are very cumbersome, and Xincheng Station, which is very close, has not been abandoned. The so-called hall is actually a semi-open-air large cargo shed with only a roof.
When the four people arrived, there were already some cargo owners. After asking, they found that the briefing session had not started yet. They were still waiting for the cargo owners on the red stone side to be ferried over via the cable car before the first session. The latest progress would be explained at that time.
Maybe it was a little chaotic because there were too many people watching, so I waited for another half an hour before a group of consignors came together, handed out dried meat and drinks to fill their stomachs, and started explaining at the same time.
"The cracks in the plate expanded at 4 o'clock this morning. The current surface crack width is 1.8 meters. We sent personnel down to measure the depth of more than 500 meters. Because the depth is narrow and there is underground water, the bottom has not been detected yet. It is judged It won't be too long before the plate breaks away." The staff brought a wooden board painted black with carbon black, drew graphic explanations on it, and vaccinated everyone, "The situation will get worse in the future, as the cracks further It will become increasingly difficult to widen, strengthen and transport the lifting platform. According to the requirements of the city's "Air Islandization Response Guidelines" document, it has been decided to completely abandon the lifting platform from now on and use cargo cable cars to complete the round trip of goods between the two places."
Although everyone is mentally prepared, it is inevitable that this day will come.
A cargo owner asked: "I saw it on the Luna River. The cable car's capacity to transport cargo is not good."
The staff was not in a hurry. They erased the pictures on the blackboard and continued to draw and explain: "Now the stability of the Dark Land Block and the Wind Valley Block has been basically confirmed. The cable car channel will become the most important material and material after the floating island." In terms of personnel transportation, in order to ensure the stable supply of materials within the territory, a border cableway platform will be built directly this time, with the general form as follows..."
As the staff explained while drawing, everyone finally understood what it would look like to replace the railway with a cable car.
There is a magical world beneath your feet, but as the project plans gradually emerge, the shippers below still feel a bit magical.
The focus of the cableway platform is not on the cableway, but on the platform, which is mainly to avoid further structural changes and the pressure caused by transportation, and to pull the entire cableway anchoring foundation down to the floating island, so the platform needs to be very solid.
The new platform will use a large-thickness cement grouting method to cast a super foundation with a total thickness of ten meters in several batches. This foundation will use both aerial stay cables and underground anchor cables to connect the stress center of the entire platform. Move back about one hundred and fifty meters.
At this time, the total distance between the center of gravity of the platform and the existing edge is 300 meters. The outer half, apart from the cableway link and the loading and unloading of goods, about one third is used for military security and basic defense work, and is managed by the city defense army.
Because the weight of the integrated reinforced concrete foundation is very huge, after the two platforms are built, a total of 20 ropeways within a distance of three kilometers can be simultaneously loaded with a ropeway loader with a full load of containers.
Based on a ten-minute round trip of three kilometers, the maximum logistics flow per hour can reach 2,400 tons.
Of course, in fact, such a large amount of material flow is definitely not needed. There is still the threat of vibration when the long ropeway is running. The entire ropeway logistics system needs to be explored to improve the efficiency. However, it can definitely be guaranteed that when the distance is not particularly far, the transportation conditions are not much different from the ground, and it will There is a dedicated passenger lane.
After listening to the explanation, a group of people had their mouths open. Someone finally recovered and asked: "How long will it take to build this? What should I do now?"
"The platform will be built on the east side of the railway. For the time being, the existing cableway on the west side can only be expanded. However, due to the difficulty of constructing the steel cables required for container transportation, standard containers will not be shipped until three days at the earliest."
Hi! Isn't this a cake?
Of course, everyone knows that three days is already very short. This time is not enough to repair and complete the adjustment of the lifting platform. The earthquake has caused the lifting platform to be strengthened several times. The latest one took five days, and with the number of strengthening and height The difference increases and the amount of work becomes larger and larger.
Elena can understand why she wants to draw a cake.
The Kingdom's current focus is not on logistics but on stabilizing people's hearts. First, let everyone have an expectation that the two places will not be disconnected, so that many tasks can continue to progress smoothly. Otherwise, there will definitely be a large number of people trying their best to squeeze into the dark floor. Even if they hire magicians to deliver them, it is not impossible to hire more people. By then, the shortage of people in all aspects will be even more serious. Administrative organizations in various places will You can't push back the work, which will cause a real crisis.
As I thought about it, I felt a little proud. I didn't expect that I would learn so much weird government affairs knowledge when I came to another world when I was old.
Then again, in the place of exile, our ancestors have worshiped gods from all walks of life for countless generations before we could hope for someone like you. It’s a pity that your majesty is a materialist warrior, otherwise his statues and shrines would have been built everywhere. .
Look at the attributes of philanthropist.
