The artificial stones they condensed with magic definitely exceed this standard, but it is still unknown whether they can defend against meteorites of common sizes on the surface of Mars.
In this regard, we still need to rely on the astronaut team to carry out large-scale detection in the surrounding areas in the future to calculate the density and depth of the surrounding craters, but the investment so far can only go so far.
The final remaining work depends on the manufacturer's technicians and the engine crews hired by Academician Wang from the Taishan, mainly the installation, welding and insulation coverage of high-temperature steam pipelines, as well as the connection of power grid substations.
These tasks will take a day or two, so of course Su Qin and the others will not need help.
"Hey, leader!" Lao Ma climbed down from the top of the container and came to see Academician Wang excitedly.
"I have a suggestion about our cooperation. I need you and Colonel Lin to help promote it." Leader Xiao Ning obviously did not want to meet Academician Wang, who was two ranks higher than him in military rank, Xiao Songcai came to see him immediately.
"Cooperation? I said, Lao Ma, you just came to me to protest a few hours ago." After getting along for a long time, Academician Wang began to speak directly to him.
"Don't worry about that, it's all the bad idea of that boy Wajia. He said it was just verbal, a necessary back-up preparation for diplomacy. Besides, it was not made public." Lao Ma lightly passed the responsibility to a lieutenant officer. On the body, it seems that he has become quite experienced in diplomacy recently.
“I went back and did some calculations, and I just went to the communications center and used your communications system to send a proposal to the federal government in Oklahoma City, a proposal that I think is very feasible.
Look at your two reactors, their power generation is very large, and there will be a huge power generation surplus for a considerable period of time in the future. I spent a few hours looking for ways to harness the power generated, and finally I figured out the best way. "
"What method?" Academician Wang thought to himself, we prepared two sets of these things purely to back up each other. In fact, one set is enough, and there is even a large margin, but we really can't find one with lower power. Reactor. I want to see if there is any way to utilize the remaining power?
"I suggest that the Oklahoma City government provides two sets of shield machines, and these two sets of your reactors provide power. Here, two tunnels are dug from inside the shield to the outside. Determine the tunnel at a suitable distance and location outside the shield. the end point.
Then we will focus on placing two nuclear bombs. If we can choose a truly suitable location, after the two nuclear bombs explode, they will provide us with a spherical underground space with a diameter of one or two kilometers.
Our two countries can share these two underground spaces, or each can have one. This issue is for politicians to discuss. "
Lao Ma quickly told his plan.
"I think the possibility of this plan being approved by our government is very high. Maybe when we return to Earth, your step will have been formally approved. I hope that Leader Guo and Colonel Lin can provide support by then."
"Do you really think this plan is feasible? Will your country's government approve it?" Academician Wang thinks this plan is a bit whimsical and unbelievable.
"Our country has carried out a similar project. A natural gas storage tank was built using nuclear explosions in an abandoned salt mine. Of course, the surface of the tank still needs to be sealed afterwards, but it is absolutely feasible in terms of engineering." Lao Ma continued to promote own plan.
"And you see, you have prepared a treaty to return this base in the Mars fire shield to that Baron Heaton. After that, we will be guests here.
Don't you think we should keep one or two bases on Mars where Earthlings have full control? The Oklahoma City Federation is willing to provide everything from TBMs to nuclear bombs, and we can even send astronauts to Mars to undertake survey missions to find suitable locations around it. "
"Do you have a shield machine?"
"We can rent it, rent it from your country."
"Do you think we need that money?"
"Your country definitely doesn't need it, but that Baron Heaton should. I know you will leave him some money as a start-up capital for his territory to join the earth's economic circle.
The Oklahoma City Federation also hopes that we can have the opportunity to express goodwill in this regard and provide a batch of rubles, either in the name of leasing a shield machine or in the name of purchasing the land at the tunnel entrance. "
"It sounds like you have thought it through very carefully. I can't raise objections now, but I don't guarantee that I will support it. I think the same is true for Colonel Lin."
"There's no problem with that and I hope you'll start thinking about the feasibility of this plan so that when politicians think about it, you'll support it."
"Two sirs!" Lisa, who had been standing nearby, felt that she had to speak. "I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but did you really not notice that there was an American naval officer standing here?"
"You don't have any problems here, Captain Perot." Lao Ma said arrogantly, "Mars is the common territory of mankind, and any project carried out on this planet will be notified to all countries on the earth.
Once this plan is officially put on the agenda, its first step is global notification. Oh, by the way, the current shared territory must exclude the part within this protective shield. Of course, any unnotified project will only attract a protest at most, for example..."
Lao Ma raised his hand and pointed to the bustling reactor construction site outside the protective shield. A reactor bunker there was almost topping out.
"So it's my fault? I really didn't inform anyone. I only considered the safety of the reactor and decided to build the reactor outside the protective cover."
Academician Wang finally understood the root cause of the protest that morning. Of course, this may not include the protests of Chief Dupont.
"I think based on your work performance, this oversight will not be punished." Lao Ma felt relieved for him.
"Two sirs, thank you for the reminder." Lisa thought about it for a long time and finally made a decision. "I think in this case, if I don't make a protest, it seems that I will be accused of dereliction of duty by my superiors."
"Please speak." Lao Ma and Academician Wang said in unison.
"...Forget it, I'll prepare a text and hand it directly to Lieutenant Huang Feihong later." Lisa stood there holding it in for a long time, and found that she couldn't squeeze out any diplomatic rhetoric in her head today, so she had to give up.
Lisa must get the family of three back home before they cause trouble.
Of course, Lisa said hello to Su Qin and the three of them before leaving, and by the way mentioned the sensational news she had just received, which was Lao Ma's whimsical plan.
