Chapter 811: The Gap
(A serious bug was found.) The last time he sailed around the world, the representative of the Ming Dynasty was Lan Haitao, the general of the auxiliary state. As a result, when exploring Liuli Island, this guy reappeared......
Sins and sins, too many people. Everyone remembers that it is a representative of the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, the Liuli Island link has ended~(>_<)~)
The aircraft carrier formation swept across the sea, and in the blink of an eye it was the next morning.
Far away, someone exclaimed.
On the sea ahead, an intermittent black line appeared, suspended in mid-air, towering and motionless under the morning sun.
There is also a pillar on the sea, which is connected and extends out of sight. Some of the pillars reach into the sky, and the top of the pillars meets the morning glow, which seems to hold up half of the sky.
"It's a land bridge!" someone already exclaimed.
It has been almost five months since the official groundbreaking of the Continental Bridge. Dayang Group has mobilized a large number of Yuan Infant Stage, a large number of Transformation Stage, a small number of Faxiang masters to help, plus the technology of Dayang Group, etc., in just five months, it has created a miracle.
The aircraft carrier formation slowly approached the front, and Hu Xiao and Yun Xiang grabbed the railing, looking at the picture in front of them excitedly.
The columns in front are scattered in such a way that at certain distances there is a section of space, and at the ends of the part there are two large pillars that reach into the sky, separated by a long distance.
In the northern part, a considerable amount of bridge deck construction has already been completed. As we got closer, we gradually saw more details.
The dense pillars are about 70 to 80 meters away and about 30 meters high, and they float above the sea.
The few pillars that reach straight into the sky are inserted into the sea in a triangular shape, more than twice as wide as the road surface, and the height is more than 300 meters.
A huge arch support is pulled up by cable-stayed cables, and the bridge deck is under the arch support. Through such a double layer of reinforcement, it can resist the strong winds and waves in the sea, the harsh weather, and even the monsters.
Such arched piers are not consistent, the small ones are more than 300 meters, and the large ones are more than 500 meters. But evenly distributed.
The height of the bridge deck can reach a height of 40 meters.
But even so, there is a bridge deck designed to be pulled up.
The aircraft carrier formation passed through the bridge deck below, and countless people looked up at the 150-meter-wide bridge deck, and at the cable-stayed piers on both sides that were more than 300 meters wide and more than 300 meters highβand that's just the part on the sea.
In the distance, huge engineering ships are busy, these engineering ships on the sea are designed to be boxy, but the displacement is surprisingly large.
Tiger Roar looked at one of the engineering ships, which was rectangular in shape, and its sides were almost 400 Γ300 meters long. It's a small town up there.
In fact, the tiger roar can't be seen, at the bottom of the sea, there is a huge enchantment supported by the god master, and the construction machinery in the enchantment is rumbling piling. More than 300 meters of steel columns with anti-rust treatment were nailed into the ground.
Unlike the foundation of the piers on the ground, 15 pillars need to be laid to support a single pier, and each pier is a tower of Babel that extends from hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters to the bottom of the sea.
The piers of the cable bridge, in particular, had to be built on solid rock and required 5Γ20 columns to support them. It's like a millipede rooted at the bottom of the sea.
In the surrounding sea water, there are also masters of the Transformation Stage holding mountain whips, moving the surrounding undersea hills.
The efficiency of the whip is very low, and it is even more efficient at the bottom of the sea. But Dayang Group has many magic weapons and many masters.
Every time the whip is used, the position of the mountain roots fluctuates a little β the peaks move forward like skating on the ice.
The mountain whip is actually a super, earth-attribute magic weapon. Of course, it will be supplemented by means such as water properties.
Hills large and small were driven to both sides of the bridge, crushing the ground and providing a stronger support and stable base for the frantic land bridge project.
After the construction of the steel columns of each bridge, cement will be poured to reinforce and prevent rust. Cement is a reinforced concrete structure, not a simple pouring.
The cost of each of these piers of Dayang Group is more than 200 high-grade spirit stones, and the cost continues to increase as it gets closer to the deep sea.
Such a crazy project requires the joint efforts of masters and science and technology, and it cannot succeed without anything.
The surrounding marine life, etc., is naturally how far and as far as it can run.
As for the destruction of the ecology, etc., it is impossible. The vitality of this world is very tenacious, and a large number of marine life has been attached to the bridge pier that has just been built for more than ten days after the construction of the Ocean Group, and there have been all kinds of marine life settled.
The aircraft carrier formation slowly sailed past the construction site of the land bridge, and gradually moved away.
But the workers on the bridge deck and the fighters on the aircraft carrier waved their hands. When passing by the bridge deck, people on and under the bridge will even throw small gifts to each other.
Many outsiders on the ship looked at everything in front of them with envy.
This is Dayang Group, a positive, daring to challenge, crazy group.
Continental bridges, circumnavigation of the globe, surface aircraft carriers, aerospace carriers...... One after another crazy moves, technologies, and projects were carried out under the leadership of Dayang Group.
When the aircraft carrier gradually moved away, Hu Xiao couldn't help but ask the person next to him: "How much black steel does such a land bridge consume?"
Feng Zhiling, who was from the Xuanzhen Sect next to him, looked at the sea in a daze, and said faintly: "Rough estimate, according to the data released by the Ocean Group, the average depth of the sea is 380 meters, the bridge deck is 30 meters from the water, and the length of a bridge pier is roughly estimated to be 410 meters.
Each pier is linked by at least 15 semi-solid steel columns with a diameter of 5 meters. A single pier costs about 60,000 cubic meters of black steel.
The distance between each pier is about 75 meters, and 13.3 piers are needed for one kilometer. There are 14,000 kilometers of sea surface for the entire project, which requires 186,200 bridge piers. Considering the actual situation, the number of piers should be in the appearance of 190,000.
190,000 piers require 11.4 billion cubic meters of black steel. The density of black steel is 7.85, which is 89.5 billion tons!
If according to the traditional iron ore production efficiency, a large workshop can produce 5 tons of crude iron a day, only counting crude iron, 89.5 billion tons also takes 17.9 billion days and 49 million years to complete!
The above numbers can only be regarded as theoretical figures. There is a huge difference between it and reality. According to my understanding of the project, Dayang Group must prepare at least 100 billion tons of black steel!
Coupled with the pouring of reinforced concrete, plus the approach bridge, etc., the use of black steel in the whole project may be higher. β
All:......
Some things will be shocking if you only look at the surface, but if you dig deeper, you will find a desperate result!
This result made countless people stunned and at the same time deeply felt inferiority - if you want to compete with such a Dayang Group, is there really any hope?
For example, this time, the representative of the Ming Dynasty turned around and looked at the land bridge that was gradually hidden in the sea fog, and he was a little distracted.
At least 100 billion tons of black steel, what is this concept?
On the land of the Ming Dynasty, the total population was only 50 billion, and there were two tons of black iron per capita!
Based on the calculation of 1 billion tons of ore in a large mine, and the average iron content of 40%, this requires the hollowing out of 40 large mines. This is almost all the iron mines that have been proven in the land of Qixia! It is also all the large-scale mines that the Ming Dynasty is currently developing.
Although this is only black steel, which is processed from ordinary black iron, not dark iron and spiritual materials, such a crazy output is still shocking.
Now everyone has a certain understanding: the production of iron is directly related to the comprehensive strength of a country/holy land.
Although cultivators use a lot of spiritual materials, at present, the majority is still dark iron and steel. And steel is processed from black iron, and black iron is refined from black iron.
The output of black iron is the foundation of a large force!
Today's industrial development, social progress, war, and cultivation, which one is less than 'iron'!
The aircraft carrier formation continued to move forward, but many people were distracted by a land bridge.
They had also seen the construction of the land bridge on land before, but the land was really not comparable to the sea.
Over the years, the Ocean Group has built many bridges, and it is not uncommon to have them on land. But this is the first time that such a crazy sea-crossing bridge has been made.
It wasn't until half a day later that everyone slowly reacted, and then began to talk to each other.
Don't believe me?
Maybe a little.
But seeing the crazy project, everyone has to accept this fact - this is the Ocean Group, don't look at the core area of the people's house is only less than 150,000 square kilometers (now the Nanyang area has also been developed), but it has completely exploded countless large countries and holy places.
Tiger Xiao pondered for a long time, and asked Feng Zhiling next to him: "Since the Dayang Group can build such a huge project, why is the displacement of the aircraft carrier only 170,000 tons?"
"Only...... 170,000 tons?" Feng Zhiling squinted at the tiger roar, and smiled, "General, don't you wait until you establish an industrial system."
If it was just about building big ships, many countries and holy places could do it now. We can build out millions of displacements. But, I can't move!
As for this steel battleship, the Ocean Group built the Arctic Ocean class ten years ago, that is, with a displacement of more than 30,000 tons.
But the rest of the countries and holy places are still frowning about the 20,000-ton warship.
There is a saying in the Ocean Group that it is now a supersonic aircraft. Say that if you shoot the drawings in front of us, we can't make them. The technology gap is too big!
We were not convinced, but we had to be convinced!
The drawings of the Arctic-class warships of the Ocean Group were sold publicly. But even to see a drawing, we have to hire professionals from the Dayang Group.
Other people's drawings are placed in front of us, let alone production, and we can't even understand the drawings. β
General Tiger Roar stopped talking, because he thought of the drawings he had seen. He had seen the blueprints of the Continental Bridge, and he had seen some of them, but he was dazzled.
He'd also seen the blueprints of the car, which were even more messy β this was the eye of a non-specialist.
He also saw the blueprint of the internal combustion engine, but he only thought it was a mess.
At this time, Feng Zhiling was still saying slowly: "The cars of Dayang Group are relatively simple in all independent, high-tech systems. But a complete technical drawing of the car, there is still a box of drawings of almost 300 kilograms.
And the design drawings of a steel battleship are three tons.
As for supersonic fighters, we haven't seen them. But according to Hua Baixiang, the design drawings of the fighter are 36 tons, and the mass of a fighter, not counting fuel, is only 34 tons.
Drawings are heavier than products. β
Tiger Roar didn't understand it because he hadn't officially touched the field of industrial technology. These numbers are a bit like a book from heaven to him.
But at least the general understands that the civilized world is a civilized world after all, and his own Japanese people want to gain a foothold in this world, which is too far and too far.
It's no wonder that the Ocean Group and the civilized world didn't regard the Japanese and the Moon as the same kind at the beginning. Bad, it's too big.
General Tiger Roar fell into thought, but he didn't see Feng Zhiling next to him with a look of resentment:
Ten years ago, he and Zhang Hao called him brothers, but ten years later, he didn't dare to stand in front of Zhang Hao.
Although Zhang Hao was still enthusiastic about himself, when he boarded the ship this time, Feng Zhiling quietly boarded the ship and did not dare to meet Zhang Hao.
He used to be on an equal footing with Zhang Hao, but now he doesn't even dare to play his temper in front of Zhang Hao.
And the Zhao Yuhang, who he had never heard of at all, has now become the commander of the fleet, and he also needs to look up to himself.
Feeling that he was only in the middle stage of his cultivation, Feng Zhiling sighed faintly. He and Zhang Hao ...... It's not a world anymore!
As the aircraft carrier formation faded away, the fleet headed for Sanxian Island, where it would complete a replenishment before arriving at the Motu Island and heading south along the route of the previous two explorations.
