Metropolis: Technology Maniacs

The ten astronauts staying on the Starfire Ball are very different from the three who went to the Starfire Ball last time.

Last time the three people just played an outpost on the Starfire Ball, and by the way did some preparatory work.

They are building a permanent base this time, and there is too much work to be done.

Those tasks can't be completed in a short time at all, this time they have to stay in Spark Ball for a long time.

The ten astronauts of them will not come back until the Starfireball base is built. It can be said that they will spend a long time on the Starfireball.

Even a few of these ten astronauts will not come back temporarily even after finishing their work.

After a few astronauts have built the Starfireball base, they will stay on the Starfireball as resident personnel.

A permanent base can’t do without staff, there are many things that need to be maintained by manpower, and the Sparkball base can’t operate without people.

Therefore, several astronauts will be the permanent personnel of the Starfireball base, and they will stay on the Starfireball for several years, until the next group of people come to replace them.

These astronauts can be said to be very miserable. They need to spend a few years on the barren land of Starfire Ball, which is a terrible thing to think about.

However, the selected astronauts did not feel miserable.

It is their luck to have such a good chance to stay on the Starfire Ball for a long time.

Being able to perform long-term garrison missions on the Starfire Ball, these selected people also feel that it is an honor.

Performing several years of missions on the Starfire Ball sounds like a cool thing. I have only seen such scenes in movies before.

And when the construction of the Starfireball base is completed, the production conditions on the Starfireball are still good.

This permanent Sparkball base can provide all the people inside with all their needs.

All aspects of living conditions can be said to be very good, so their future lives are not too miserable.

Speaking of the fact that Ye Su's current astronauts are actually not enough, the astronauts trained by the country, as long as they are good, will be asked by Ye Su.

This time, Ye Su sent ten astronauts to Starfire Ball in one go, and there were not many astronauts left in his hand.

But the follow-up Ye Su still needs a large number of astronauts to perform various sky missions.

The existing astronauts in hand are no longer enough, even if the country is still stepping up training, it cannot meet Ye Su's future needs.

Ye Su's demand for astronauts in the future is huge, and the scale of not having thousands of people is simply not enough.

This Starfireball base will be slowly expanded in the future, and the manpower required will continue to increase, which is already a big gap.

What's more, Ye Su is also preparing to launch other space programs, and the number of astronauts needed can be even greater.

It can be said that even if the astronauts from all over the world are given to Ye Su, it cannot satisfy Ye Su's huge demand.

But this matter is not something Ye Su needs to consider, and he can solve it later.

What Ye Su needs to care about now is the construction of the Starfireball base. Only when the base is successfully completed can I think about the problem of insufficient astronauts.

Although the construction of the Starfireball base mainly involves automation equipment, the astronauts also played an auxiliary role.

But Ye Su couldn't just leave it alone, there was a lot of work to be done on the ground.

How to build the base requires command from the ground, and the coordination of every step of the work also requires ground assistance.

So many astronauts can't control the equipment used to build the Starfire Ball, and the Earth's help is needed to enter some data.

The Space Mission Center is busy with these things right now, and Ye Su stayed here to care about the progress of the construction.

Ye Su stood in the command hall, watching the construction of the base through the display screen.

The situation built on the Starfire Ball was photographed and then transmitted back to the distant earth.

The display screen in the hall is divided into several pieces, each showing different real-time pictures.

These pictures are all scenes on the Spark Ball, representing the working conditions in different locations.

On one screen, several devices are digging the surface of the spark ball, which looks like they are laying foundation for the base.

On the other screen, an astronaut is assembling some parts, and that a lot of parts seem to be responsible, and there are all kinds of things in different shapes.

What he assembles should be the life-sustaining equipment needed by the base, and the people in the base will survive on this in the future.

On one screen, there are several welding robots welding different metal components. An astronaut is standing next to them to assist him, and he does not know what is welding.

Another picture shows not the site of the construction base, but another open area.

There are dozens of machines on this land that are busy. It seems that the robot should be digging something.

This is the iron ore factory next to the Starfire Ball Base. Those mining robots are busy digging for iron ore.

There is also a smelting center just beside the iron ore factory. There are several smelting and forging integrated equipments, which are continuously manufacturing various steel products.

The manufactured steel products were quickly transported back to the base construction site not far away by automatic transport vehicles, and became the main materials for the construction base.

The Starfire Ball Base needs a lot of steel, and it seems that this is the place to provide these steels.

The outer wall of the Starfire Ball Base is composed of thick steel plates, and the amount of steel required is very large.

So the task here is very heavy, and it needs to supply the material needs of the entire base.

The reason why Ye Su used steel as the main construction material for the base was also considering the issue of robustness.

Building a building on top of the Starfire Ball is not strong enough but completely impossible.

In ordinary houses, even if the walls are broken, it is nothing, but it is a disaster on the top of the spark ball.

In order to ensure the safety of the personnel in the Sparkball base, Ye Su finally decided to build the base with very thick steel plates.

It can be said that this base is made of steel, which is completely a big iron knot.
