Chapter 61: The Power of Technology? (Seeking Subscriptions)

"Director Feng, no need to be alarmed!"

"Times have changed. Just because we couldn't handle the geology of this mudflat 20 years ago doesn't mean we can't handle it now."

"Actually, the material used for these long piles is a new type of special marine steel jointly developed by our Fangkuai Technology and several metal materials research institutes. It is spliced together using custom-made reinforced fasteners, and the surface is sprayed with a nano-grade anti-corrosion and anti-rust coating."

"They look thin, but in reality, they could even be used as the keel of a 200,000-ton container ship. Using them as foundation building materials is overkill."

Seeing Feng Zhiqiang and a group of park bosses who had come to watch the excitement expressing doubts, Chen Jue smiled slightly and began showing off the information he had prepared in advance.

Of course, Chen Jue wasn't just randomly waving the banner of research institutes and talking nonsense.

He had already made donations to several domestic metal research institutes in advance. Each institute had contributed several million, and even the donation certificates and plaques had been sent to him. These, along with a multi-language patent for marine steel downloaded from the internet, were placed in the exhibition room.

"What?"

"It's actually special marine steel!"

"Isn't that what's used to build warships and aircraft carriers?"

"Good heavens! How much would it cost to make just one of these?"

When the onlookers heard the origin of these long piles, they immediately erupted in chatter.

In the eyes of these meticulous bosses, the suspended spliced long pile seemed to be equated with money.

"The cost of a single pile going several hundred meters down is probably over 1 million! It is indeed quite expensive," Chen Jue shrugged, revealing a look of affected helplessness.

China's steel technology has long reached the pinnacle of the world. Common steel bars in machinery factories have even produced 10,000-meter-long steel bars in one go, to create momentum and apply for a Guinness World Record.

A mere hundred meters of metal marine keel is indeed nothing to boast about in terms of length.

"What? Over 1 million for one? I saw in the construction animation that at least a thousand such long piles were used."

"Wouldn't that mean it would cost several billion just to lay the foundation?"

When Director Feng heard this outrageous cost, he was also completely numb!

Looking up again, at the dozen or so heavy construction machines operating at full power on the original site of the Minghua Shipyard, his worldview, which had barely been reshaped by the black technology, showed signs of collapsing again.

Regardless of the outrageous cost of those metal long piles, just the dozen or so heavy construction machines operating continuously for 24 hours a day would consume tens of thousands of dollars in fuel alone.

Not to mention the dozens of brand-new trucks parked in the park, specifically used to transport materials. In any case, everything was about spending money like crazy at all costs.

It could only be said that Chen, the president of Fangkuai Technology, was rich and capricious, burning money like it was nothing!

With such economic strength, why bother running a factory?

An ordinary small boss with this kind of capital would have chosen to let go of themselves long ago, spending their days in nightclubs and clubs with young models for several lifetimes!

However, what the onlookers on the scene didn't expect at all was that Chen Jue's money-burning construction ceremony for Fangkuai Technology was actually a superficial disguise for the MC system.

In addition to taking out a 280 million mortgage loan to buy a large number of high-end heavy construction machinery and trucks in installments, Chen Jue also bought a construction company with construction qualifications as a base.

The dozens of drivers and workers sent to the construction site were all Iron Golems disguised with [Ordinary People Skins].

Just like in the movies, the referee, the linesman, the side judge, plus all the units of the organizer and co-organizer, both Party A and Party B were all Chen Jue's people.

They were specifically putting on a show for the onlookers who didn't know the truth.

The purpose was to demonstrate the strong strength of Fangkuai Technology while realizing the silent appearance of MC blocks in front of the world.

Of course, this 'routine' first show, pulling the banner of industry and technology, was just the beginning.

When the first crawler pile driver drilled into the hard rock layer underground, and the Iron Golem driving the machine reported the data of "No. 1 drill rod depth 256.2 meters" through the walkie-talkie.

A group of park bosses and Director Feng's workers on the scene were all a little uneasy, craning their necks to look into the open-air construction site.

"The first hole was drilled more than 256 meters deep?"

"That's too exaggerated!"

"I heard that this piece of land at the former Minghua Shipyard was originally intended to be used to build a deep-water wharf. It hasn't even reached the sea yet, and it needs to be so deep. No wonder the county hastily abandoned this project."

"If we don't stop in time, relying on reinforced concrete for traditional foundations, it is estimated that even if we砸 hundreds of billions down, we can only splash a few splashes."

"Almost 300 meters! It's too deep!"

"This 'keel pile' looks long, but it actually can't reach the bottom?"

"What should we do?"

Several small bosses even learned from the Fourth Hokage and gave the hundred-meter-long pile, which was suspended in mid-air by a super-heavy crane for stress testing, a new name that was domineering and a bit rustic.

Everyone's eyes were now firmly attached to it like magnets.

Because the depth value reported on the walkie-talkie far exceeded the hundred-meter size.

If it was just randomly drilled down, without nailing into the hard rock layer, the lowered 'keel pile' would be easily swallowed by the drilled deep hole.

It would not be easy to dig it out again at that time.

Just as everyone frowned and thought about how to solve it, Chen Jue picked up the walkie-talkie and continued to perform: "No. 2 and No. 3, follow up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the 'keel pile' being quickly moved horizontally by the super-heavy crane to the No. 1 drilling hole. After being vertically suspended, it was aligned with the dark, muddy, and seawater-seeping hole and began to be buried little by little into the depths of the ground.

When the entire 'keel pile' was plunged into the deep hole, leaving only a few meters long end, the rumbling mechanical operation sound rang again from the other end.

I saw the remaining two 2400-ton super-heavy cranes unfolding at the same time, one in front and one behind, just like building blocks, connecting two newly spliced hundred-meter 'keel piles'.

This sci-fi scene, which looked extremely contrary to common sense, made the onlookers almost drop their goosebumps all over the floor.

Director Feng, who was still questioning just now, was now trembling with his hands when he saw these three piles spliced into one, being nailed into the ground little by little. No matter how violently the super cranes pulled and tested, they would not break or bend. They were as stable as Sun Dasheng's Ruyi Golden Cudgel.

He was so shocked that he took out a bottle of quick-acting heart-saving pills from his trouser pocket and took one in his mouth in advance.

If he was shocked any further, he was afraid that his heart rate would be out of balance and he would be sent to the hospital!

"It can be nailed directly down after being connected? This is too convenient!"

"I think those fasteners are also specially made. They should use some very advanced technology."

"Isn't it the process of welding aircraft carriers?"

"It's different to have a technical foundation!"

The ordinary people gathered outside the shipyard had all kinds of brain supplements after seeing this scene of building blocks.

"Then in the future, can we use this kind of keel pile to build buildings on this rotten land?"

When a small boss on the scene, who was not quick-witted, spoke out, he was glared at by his friends around him.

With these tens of billions of funds to spend on laying the foundation, as long as you are willing to spend time and energy, you can even circle all the silt layer on this piece of land and level it.

The reason why President Chen did this was to save trouble, to be quick, and to show off his skills a little to build a reputation for his company.

Didn't you see in the construction animation played on VCR just now that the entire main project from foundation to completion only takes a short week?

What can be compared with it is only the modular prefabricated buildings that are commonly seen on short video news these days, such as '5 days to build a 26-story house' and '29 hours to build an 11-story building'.

Of course, what the onlookers on the scene couldn't imagine was.

Just in this seemingly large-scale, technological-powered pile-driving deep underground, at this moment, a small team of Iron Golems, led by Iron Lao Liu, are holding the rock blocks in their hands, waiting in strict formation, looking up and staring at the [Iron Bar] that has just plunged down from the drilled hole.

With a few sounds of "Dong dong dong ~" placing the blocks, using the fixed characteristics of the MC blocks, the rock blocks in the hand were padded and connected!
