Chapter 370 Naming
Woo~
A long whistle sounded on the sea. Although the weather was clear and the sky was clear, there were still waves with a height of several meters on the sea surface surging and lapping at the hull due to some sea breezes.
There were dolphins playing near the hull, and occasionally they curiously came out of the water to look at these behemoths on the sea.
At this time, the yacht chartered by Jiang Bo and several other anchors had stopped on the sea, and a group of people were standing on the deck looking at the platform in front!
Almost every safe distance away, there is a platform to sit on, and tugs are constantly adjusting their distance slightly.
Various offshore working platforms full of mechanical and industrial feel, each one located on the sea is like a sea fortress.
The various mechanical arms and facilities above the platform add a punk style.
The seagulls flew around the platform and stayed there, looking like small black dots, which highlighted the grandeur of the platform.
"Everyone, even a single platform looks similar to a maritime city. Each platform looks very majestic and has its own anchoring system. After arriving at the target area, they will fill the infiltration chamber with water, allowing the chamber to
The body sinks, and the center of gravity of the entire platform enters the water. Together with the anchoring system, this suspended platform can ensure a very small displacement distance in a typhoon."
Jiang Bo stood on the deck blowing the sea breeze and kept talking to the camera.
Because he has entered the high seas area and can only use satellite signals, his interactive ability has almost stopped now, but it does not prevent him from directly telling the situation at his own pace.
The smallest offshore platform of tens of thousands of tons looked so majestic, and the dozens of platforms that stretched to the end of his sight really gave him a shocking feeling.
Because there is a safe distance between the platforms, this directly results in the phenomenon that the edges cannot be seen at a glance!
Soon, they heard the roar of a helicopter. A helicopter flew over their heads, and they could even see the CNN logo on the helicopter.
Obviously, foreign reporters also have a keen sense of catching hot topics and are not lagging behind at all.
Compared to Jiang Bo, their equipment is much better, with large ships and helicopters.
Although Jiang Bo couldn't see the comments in the live broadcast room, he could generally understand that he was probably laughing like crazy now.
But he himself is not discouraged, they also have drones.
"It can only be said that Umbrella's handiwork is too great! The connection work alone is so exaggerated that you can't see the end at a glance. They are all their platforms!"
Jiang Bo looked at the erected offshore platforms in front of him, his eyes filled with emotion.
Originally, the tonnage was large and the number was large, but now we are still keeping a safe distance, and there is no way to see the whole picture.
As their yacht approached again, some reminders from Umbrella were transmitted over the radio. It was okay to see the ship at close range, but please do not be between the platforms. They were about to move, so be careful of the risk of accidental contact.
"It should be time to start splicing. We will fly the drone, the latest Doenjiang drone, and Umbrella's battery life. We will conduct real-time transmission later, which is enough to see the whole picture, and there will be multiple angles.
Shooting, but with so many platforms, I estimate that it will definitely take at least a few days to complete, or even more than half a month."
As Jiang Bo finished speaking, he also made an OK gesture with several other anchors.
Among these anchors, Jiang Bo is the most popular, and the others are just riding on their popularity, so they are very cooperative with each other.
No matter what, Jiang Bo created a huge trade union to compete with Principal Qin in "Star World". Even if it was just some experience summed up in the game, he could still control the scene steadily by relying on his higher fan base.
The drone took off from the yacht deck and flew quickly towards the nearby airspace.
After raising the viewing angle, they discovered that their original estimate was far too low!
As the drones are raised, more platforms float on the sea and spread out in a chain!
The tugboats between the platforms, as well as the cruise ships, fishing boats, and helicopters that also came to watch, formed this shocking scene under the blue curtain!
It can be seen that in addition to the helicopters of some TV stations, there are also helicopters on various platforms of Umbrella. Although they all look like civilians, when the helicopter doors are opened, you can see figures carrying anti-material sniper rifles.
This kind of thing can really bring down a helicopter.
However, Umbrella itself should only prevent possible problems and provide some necessary deterrence.
Anyway, apart from reminding people to be careful about collisions, the radio station didn't say anything that wouldn't make people watch.
After all, the secret has been exposed, there is no need to hide it.
In fact, in addition to these helicopters, there are five bone kuns equipped with magic rhomboids cruising on the invisible seabed thousands of meters away, and there are two completely invisible bone dragons circling high in the sky.
As long as there is no direct attack by a regular fleet, even a single warship poses little threat.
At least for now, although all parties are wary of Umbrella, they have not yet directly dispatched the fleet.
This only prevents possible 'pirates'.
But obviously, the possible troubles that may arise have been averted by relying on Umbrella's weapons and the guns on the helicopter.
The whole process was orderly!
The three million-ton core platforms have begun to move slowly, very slowly and slightly.
But even if the movement is 'slight', a million-ton offshore platform has a displacement ten times more than an aircraft carrier. The slightness of this behemoth is definitely completely different from the ordinary slightness!
The platform above seems to be moving slowly, but when you shoot the waves below, they are stirring for at least a few meters!
It's just that for such a huge creature, such a slight slap cannot move it at all.
The long structures and card slots embedded in each other also began to be carefully aligned and began to get closer.
The circling seagulls seemed to be witnessing the human miracle in front of them.
Under this size, a slight overhead collision may cause the steel body at the collision to deform!
Through the perspective of the drone, Jiang Bo explained calmly and rationally
"Indeed, as many experts have said, the strength of the steel body is completely insufficient for this level of volume. Even if it is barely put together, it is the same as 'building blocks'."
The sea surface is not static. Although each major platform will be filled with water to keep its center of gravity stable, it cannot remain absolutely flat!
Ordinary bumps may be nothing, but encountering severe weather such as storms or typhoons is a big test.
Kacha~ Kacha~
The interfaces were aligned and inlaid, and sparks of metal collided, flashing continuously, accompanied by various crackling sounds and metal friction sounds.
But in the end, as the three million-ton platforms formed the core area of the word ‘ enter’, the moment the inlay was completed, it immediately stabilized simultaneously!
It seems that the three platforms directly form a whole because of the intertwined interfaces, rising and falling together without any deformation or tearing!
In an instant, Jiang Bo and several other anchors exclaimed at the same time.
The CNN host, who also understood the difficulty, frantically explained and explained in front of the helicopter camera.
Both foreign and domestic viewers were shocked.
There has been a lot of popular science about this maritime city recently, with almost multiple saturation coverage, and many people know the difficulties involved.
But now this difficulty is solved so easily?
"Before, we could see the sparks at the connection between the platforms, but there were still several parts that were blocked and we couldn't take pictures. But since Umbrella is blocked, they must have done something! It must be 'magic'
Using a new type of connecting material, they have this confidence and confidence, but it feels like it has been fixed, but the overall strength is still at the civilian level."
After the core was completed, all platforms on the sea began to move slowly, with tugboats towing and guiding them to ensure speed and direction, while also taking into account the influence of waves and currents.
The command and scheduling are extremely precise. According to the changes in the sea surface in real time, if there is a suitable platform close to the platform, the assembly of the small modules will be completed on the spot, and at the same time, it will move towards the central area!
In the aerial photography, although it is slow, it has a very harmonious artistic sense.
With so many behemoths moving together, the visual impact and shock made even Jiang Bo seem a little incoherent.
"Artificial intelligence must be the temporary scheduling of artificial intelligence. It is so natural and smooth. I take back my previous prediction that it would take more than half a month at most. I have a hunch that their assembly may be completed in one day!"
Jiang Bo boldly expressed his prediction.
Even if Umbrella's products have already been released and the platform is in place, this complex assembly project will definitely not be completed in a short time.
The sea is not land, and this is not putting together building blocks. There are simply too many factors to consider.
But now, all platforms have achieved optimal and efficient movement!
Kacha~ Kacha~
The connection sound of the giant machinery kept ringing, and the sound coming from the drone screen made people's blood boil.
As the sun slowly sets from the sea level, the initial splicing work is completed.
After the last platform was inlaid, the moment the sun set, all the searchlights on all the platforms were turned on at the same time, and the lights were brightly lit in an instant!
The sea area originally occupied by many platforms has shrunk, forming a complete "in" shaped offshore platform!
The volume of nearly 20 million tons is equivalent to the tonnage of two hundred aircraft carriers!
What is the concept and visual impact of two hundred aircraft carriers sitting side by side?
At this time, many floating docks have also completed the connection at the inlay port on one side.
Jiang Bo flew closer with a drone and also explained at the same time
"These are floating docks that can sink into the water to allow ships that need repairs to enter. They also have certain manufacturing capabilities. With Umbrella's other platform-related machinery, Umbrella can completely use these floating docks for shipbuilding.
Let the factory use it!”
In addition to one side being used as an area connecting many floating docks, the other five sides of the word ‘in’ that protrude from the platform are all unfolded downward from the platform to form a dock!
As the platform deforms and moves, regular mechanical sounds appear, and the entire city's dock area is fully reflected.
The metal stent was implanted in the sea, causing a lot of waves.
Combined with the rising crane and many robotic arms, it is obvious that this seemingly simple terminal unloading has a high degree of automation.
Subsequently, Umbrella officials belatedly issued a simple announcement.
"The maritime city built by our company has been successfully spliced. Next, we need to carry out the construction of the upper layer of the platform. However, the city itself is not on the main waterway, nor is it a gathering place for fish, and it will not have any impact on others..."
Finally, Umbrella said something at the end.
"In addition, the maritime city is named 'Penglai'..."
