93: Chapter 93 "Pangu" Construction Begins: A Construction Maniac on the Moon
The addition of the "Nuwa" platform was like injecting a powerful catalyst into the construction of the Moon Base. However, this behemoth of cutting-edge technology was not fighting alone. Surrounding it, the illustrious first-generation "pangu industrial zone" lunar soil 3D printer had found new vitality after urgent upgrades and modifications by the engineers.
Two behemoths, one old and one new, under the unified dispatch of the fuxi - moon palace model, formed the core force of the Moon Base expansion project, jointly performing an unprecedented lunar construction craze.
On the outskirts of the Guanghan Palace base, the originally desolate and silent lunar surface had now transformed into a grand and busy super construction site.
The multi-print head array of the "Nuwa" platform danced efficiently within the designated area like living metal vines. They had a clear division of labor: some focused on printing the outer shell domes of new cabins, some were responsible for laying the underground tunnel skeletons connecting various modules, and others were constructing the heavy foundations for the future energy center. Assisted by specific energy fields, the lunar soil composite material solidified and took shape at a speed visible to the naked eye, demonstrating strength and precision far exceeding Earth's architecture. The construction speed left Earth's engineers, watching the real-time footage via quantum links, feeling a sense of vertigo.
Meanwhile, the upgraded "pangu industrial zone" printer took on tasks of a more "sculpting" nature. Utilizing its still-reliable single-print head system, it precisely printed internal partitions, functional brackets, ventilation ducts, and other detailed structures, even beginning to attempt printing small prefabricated tools and parts. Its presence compensated for the "Nuwa" platform's slight deficiencies in fine operations, and the two formed a perfect complement.
Intelligent transport robots scurried back and forth between the two. Following the "Fuxi" planned optimal paths, they transported processed lunar soil raw materials beneath the print heads or moved prefabricated components from the landing zone to designated locations. The entire process flowed smoothly without the slightest delay, as if a precision clock were running silently and efficiently in the moon's low-gravity environment.
Inside the base, it was equally a scene of bustling activity. The newly arrived engineers and scientists barely had time to adapt to the lunar environment before immediately diving into the intense work. They operated various instruments, testing the parameters of the newly printed structures, installing and debugging precision equipment brought from Earth, and laying intricate cables and pipes.
"Reporting to headquarters! The main structure of the new Comprehensive Experimental Cabin has finished printing, and the strength test has passed!"
"The piping for Zone B of the Ecological Cycle Expansion Module is laid, and pressure testing is underway!"
"The docking of the Thousand-Mile Eye Plan observation tower base and the main structure was successful; awaiting sensor array installation!"
One report of success after another flew like snowflakes toward the base command center and Earth, 380,000 kilometers away.
Standing in the base's main control room, Wang Yan looked through the massive observation window at the scene changing by the day, his heart filled with pride and ambition. Once upon a time, this had been a dead wasteland, but now, a fully functional lunar city was rising from the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye. This sense of accomplishment from personally participating in the creation of history was beyond words.
He connected the quantum communication with Earth and reported to Elder Chen, "Elder Chen, do you see? With 'pangu industrial zone' and 'Nuwa' attacking in tandem, our construction speed has exceeded the fastest expectations! If we keep this momentum, completing the Phase II expansion ahead of schedule is no empty talk!"
Inside the Earth Command Center, Elder Chen's eyes grew slightly moist as he watched the busy and orderly lunar construction site on the screen, seeing the silver-gray building complex constantly extending and connecting. He seemed to see the decades of arduous struggle by the aerospace personnel of Dragon Country, the fire of hope brought by Patriot X, and even more, the amazing strength and wisdom bursting forth from human civilization in the face of crisis.
"Good! Good! Good!" He repeated the word three times, his voice somewhat choked with emotion. "Tell the comrades on the front line that the motherland and the people are incredibly proud of them! You are writing a new chapter in human history!"
Inside the "Zhulong" safe house, Lin Mo was also immersed in the live broadcast of this grand construction. Watching those two behemoths named after ancient Chinese deities toiling on the lunar surface, and seeing the base carrying the hope of civilization rapidly take shape, an indescribable sense of satisfaction filled his heart.
This was not just a victory of technology, but a victory of will and unity. When the strength of an entire civilization is gathered to strive toward a common goal, the miracles that can be created are enough to shake the stars.
The construction demon on the lunar surface was turning Guanghan Palace from a blueprint into reality with a "China Speed" that caught the universe's attention, also laying the most solid foundation for the upcoming deep space confrontation.
