Chapter 874 [Sky Tower Base, Epic Project]
When the vehicle arrived at the construction site of Tianta base, more than 20 people in charge of infrastructure groups had been waiting for a long time, and dozens of people wearing burgundy safety helmets were waiting for Luo Sheng to arrive.
The most difficult thing about the entire Tianta Base Project from manual island filling to the construction of Tianta Tower is actually not a technical problem, but a systematic coordinated scheduling of the entire project.
How to command the construction work of thousands of construction machinery and equipment and hundreds of thousands of construction personnel in their respective capacity is a core reason why other international infrastructure contractors dare not take over the international order.
He was scared away directly and said that he couldn't do it, and it was impossible for anyone to do it.
When Luo Sheng got out of the car, a security staff member who accompanied him handed him and An Qingxue a burgundy hard hat.
After getting off the car and put on a hat, Luo Sheng looked forward and saw a banner at first glance, with the words on it saying:
Warmly welcome the leaders of the headquarters to visit us!
Some reporters were also arranged to report, but the media that could come here to report is not foreign media. Whatever can be reported is required to be approved by relevant leaders.
At this moment, Luo Sheng was surrounded by a group of security personnel. He was a little helpless, but he had no choice.
Shortly after he got out of the car, the leaders of major projects who had been waiting for a long time also came up in groups. An Qingxue, who was following him, immediately gave a brief introduction to each project leader of the cooperative who shook hands with Luo Sheng.
Luo Sheng didn't know them, but An Qingxue had obviously done her homework before coming. It took her a long time to shake hands with the person in charge of the main project contracting partners.
After the program was over, Luo Sheng and dozens of people wearing burgundy safety helmets walked along the road. Listening to the introductions of major project partners, several reporters also watched the camera equipment running to the front or side to capture the photos.
Today's weather is clear and the weather is on the equatorial line, and the surface temperature is still quite hot.
At this moment, a accompanying staff member released an aerial photography drone, and a middle-aged man in a red hat handed a tablet to Luo Sheng. The panel display was a live high-altitude overlooking the camera transmitted back by the drone.
The picture shows that Luo Sheng and the others are standing on a large circular artificial island at the moment, which is a very standard circular island with a sea water area of about 3,220 square kilometers.
At this time, a middle-aged man with a red hat came to Luo Sheng. He was the general manager of the entire Sky Tower project and knew more than others.
"Mr. Luo, the current project progress has reached the end of the secondary reinforcement of the artificial circular island." As he said that, he pointed to the tower crane that was being dismantled along the coast of the circular island. The manual island filling project started to fill the island continuously when the construction of Linga Port, and it has not stopped until today.
"The total steel consumption of the secondary reinforcement project reached 426 million tons, accounting for almost half of the country's steel production. One steel barrel after another built a strong waterproof wall along the circular island, forming a circle, and then filled with sand and gravel to form such a stable foundation structure under our feet now."
Luo Sheng nodded silently and listened, and the head of the project said: "The reason why steel barrels are used is to build the artificial circular island. The silt in this sea area is relatively deep. Ordinary stone throwing and caissons are prone to slipping and not stable enough..."
This is a super long project that took five years of construction time, with a total cost of more than US$150 billion, and an average of US$30 billion per year.
Each steel barrel is processed in batches in the mainland, and then transported here by ocean-going cargo ships. The steel barrels are lifted by a tower crane and then the steel barrels are sunk under the foundation of the artificial ring island with a linkage hydraulic vibrating hammer. The steel barrels are fixed in the silt, and sand and gravel are placed in the hollow part in the middle.
Over time, these steel barrels will definitely face corrosion problems in dozens or hundreds of years, but it doesn’t matter. By so long, the area surrounded by the steel barrel has been filled into large pieces of ground.
The accompanying general manager said while walking: "From February next year, the most vast project will drain all the sea water in the ring island. It is expected to take three years to operate more than one million powerful water pumps for 24 hours a day and night. The second step is to build a base inside the ring island when the five major infrastructure groups show their skills."
Luo Sheng looked at the vast sea water ahead and couldn't help but sigh: "Pumping these waters in three years is equivalent to draining one Taihu Lake in a year. An unprecedented epic project is no less than building a Great Wall more than two thousand years ago. Only we dare to think and do it, haha!"
Everyone who accompanied them also laughed and continued to follow Luo Sheng.
The heads of the Red Hat Project are now laughing easily, but when they first learned about it, they were shocked and their eyes were protruding.
The internal area of the artificially filled ring island is as much as 30% larger than that of Taihu Lake in China. Then drain all the sea water here. Is this something that people dare to do?
But if it is not drained, the tower base will not be built.
Only after draining the sea water can the tower base be built in a depression around the island that is more than ten meters below the sea level. After completion, the tower base will be 358 meters above the sea level, and will become an unprecedented artificial world wonder in this sea area. It can also be clearly seen with the naked eye in space, especially at night.
Those who have seen the virtual model of equal proportions are shocked without exception and are not sure what words to describe.
It can be foreseeable that after the completion of the Sky Tower Base and even the final ladder, it will become the most unique scenic spot in the world and will surely attract thousands of tourists to visit.
Luo Sheng withdrew his gaze and asked, "Is energy consumption and supply not a problem?"
The general manager immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Luo, we are also very lucky. At about 37 nautical miles to your direction, we have explored a submarine oil well there. The reserves are estimated to be at least 80 million tons. The ink has contracted it to us for full mining and operation. They account for 30% of the share income, which is equivalent to collecting money while lying down."
Luo Sheng nodded: "Well, just lie down, don't point fingers, don't have any other thoughts, just shut up if you have one."
The people who were accompanying the audience felt a sensation in their hearts. They sounded like nothing was wrong, but they were very scary.
The general manager continued: "With this oil field, all the mechanical equipment and all the electricity consumption of the entire project can be supported by this oil well. Ink mud has hit a historical opportunity. Modern basic industries such as power plants and chemicals will be implemented on Sumatra on a large scale, and industrialization will be achieved without doing anything."
A down-to-earth description is like having great luck when you run into demolition. There is a way to win if you really win.
The ink was figured out five years ago, don’t do anything, hold Xingjian International’s thighs, and then lie down and win.
As for anything else, I dare not think about it, such as Linga Port and Tianta Base, even if Luo Sheng threw it to the other party, the other party would be scared even if he had 100,000 courage. He knew that this thing could not be taken, it was too hot. If he really dared to take it, the whole ink would be blown up.
Holding your thighs honestly, you can take off even if you drink a sip of soup, which is also worry-free. Don’t go to join the battle between top bosses, so as not to suffer from a disaster.
