Chapter 446 Galkayu Military Port

"Today, the Commander of the Sixth Fleet has announced that it has entered a level three combat readiness state."

"The National Defense Command established an automated robot combat force, directly under the Joint Chiefs of Staff. President Ellis declared that this move was aimed at encircling the security of the Gulf of Aden and surrounding waterways, and severely criticized the African Union's support for terrorist organizations."

"Some accusers claim that this move bypasses the vote of Congress and runs counter to the legislative tendency shown by Congress in Bill AMF-13."

"General Ross has returned to his homeland. The local voters welcomed the hero's return and lined the streets to welcome him. Who knows what kind of treatment he received at the hands of the barbarians?"

"General Ross has not yet provided an explanation for the video of the attack on civilians, or even given an interview, and the military has remained silent."

"Some international relations scholars believe that the African Union's move is intended to calm the situation, but it is clear that our president does not think so. This will have an impact on the waterways passing through the Gulf of Aden, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the Suez Canal, and the western Indian Ocean."

"It is expected that 10% of global trade supplies will be affected by this, especially oil and gas resources arriving from the Middle East to Europe and the United States."

"Large-scale supply chain disruptions will lead to slower economic growth in major economies, which may worsen the situation."

A robot walks in the port of Galkayo.

The African Union let Rose go, which may have eased the situation to some extent, but no one knows to what extent.

Because in reality, the situation is still getting worse.

As a poor country that has not had a stable political power and environment for decades, the houses here are already dilapidated, and the so-called port relies purely on natural conditions.

The current situation requires this to be turned into a modern port.

Engineering robots and exoskeleton workers work together, and several berths have been completed first, showing clear outlines in gray and white.

A large number of engineering robots and large equipment are operating in an orderly manner on site. Giant cranes stand tall, like the arms of a giant beast, steadily grabbing huge prefabricated structures and placing them accurately on the foundation.

Swarms of concrete pouring trucks move along the contours of the pier, connecting the berths into a network.

Gantry cranes, bulldozers, wheel loaders, dump trucks, cranes

All engineering equipment has been electrified, and the structure of equipment using electric power is far simpler than that of internal combustion engines.

The designers of these devices include not only scientists and researchers from Atlas Group, but also university research teams recruited extensively during this period.

The rising prices of petroleum fuel energy and the establishment of very large monopoly groups are making people feel pressured. People with far-sightedness have already set their sights on this technology.

It's just that electric technology has always been limited by the issue of battery energy density, which makes it difficult to advance. Graphene solid-state batteries have greatly alleviated this problem. Coupled with the pressure of the situation, the current scene may even surprise Roxon.

Compared with Juya City, the short-term construction goal of Galkayu is a military-grade frontline base, and the atmosphere here will be tougher.

Lear walked in the port, assessing the progress.

[Little Octopus: Brother, the current progress in the electrification design of common siege equipment has exceeded expectations. 】

[Little Octopus: 76 types of construction machinery, 26 types of transportation equipment, 20 types of lifting and hoisting equipment, 70 types of auxiliary and drone equipment, and 70 sets of resource collection and smelting facilities. 】

[Little Octopus: Brother, I have to say that the power of the masses is really strong. Currently, there are 150 research teams with real-name support and direct cooperation, and many of them are indirect help. 】

[Little Octopus: We probably have to consider adding a reactor. 】

Although the design of electrified facilities and equipment is not an overly difficult research topic, engineering problems always require a lot of time and energy.

Such huge international support has given Atlas Group a great help.

The world is a big place. Some people want to rule the world while resting on their laurels, while others want to find another way——

The efficiency and environmental performance of SCFR reactors are amazing. Atlas Group has supported urban construction and ensured that the African economy continues to advance by relying solely on nuclear energy and other clean energy. This is convincing enough.

However, the efficiency of SCFR reactors has not yet reached its limit.

Current effectiveness is largely limited by Africa's poor industrial capabilities.

If the solidity and density of the entire system materials are increased, the theoretical energy of plutonium-239 and californium-252 is increased to release higher radioactive elements, and the fuel purity is increased to more than 5%, a 10-hectare SCFR power station can easily provide 2000 megawatts Watts or more of electricity.

If I were to say that the most powerful SCFR reactor core in memory is that, it would be amazing. The core can be regarded as a super reactor that is constantly producing small nuclear explosions.

It has only been used a few times in some very large-scale projects, because it was not designed for long-term use.

[Lille: Wait a minute, why didn’t you talk about money? 】

[Little Octopus: Brother, don’t we have plenty of money? 】

A small octopus appears in the air, wearing a large gold chain and sunglasses.

Lille opened the financial interface suspiciously.

The intuition brought by management experience proved him right:

Atlas is quite wealthy, with the credit guarantee of the entire African Union and debt squeezed out by the mayor of New York.

But this money is really not unlimited.

Now Atlas Group has a heavy task, and its monthly operating costs and various project costs easily exceed 10 billion US dollars.

This month has just passed and it has already exceeded 10 billion.

This is still the case with a top-notch research team: if a group of ordinary people come to study the projects studied by Marvel scientists, not to mention the funds may have to be invested dozens of times, and the time cost will be even higher.

If you only look at the group's original business, the company is guaranteed to make a profit, but with the addition of expansion projects, it is estimated that it will soon be in deficit.

Of course, these investments are well worth the money.

[Industrial changes are being promoted]

[Electrification of engineering, large-scale promotion of brain-computer interface, unmanned engineering, and energy innovation.]

[Changes are underway in many fields. 】

[Reward technology points: 4000]

[Current technology points: 13500]

The electrification transformation of each equipment may only take an afternoon for Lille, but such a large-scale change seems to have reached the threshold of receiving system rewards.

It seems that promoting a certain less ultra-standard technology to an industry also has the opportunity to trigger system rewards.

The robot walked towards the port, where a total of three ships were moored.

The African Union put all the people back, but not the boat.

The three frigates and small destroyers that once belonged to the Berry Army's Sixth Fleet have been changed beyond recognition.

Two of the frigates have been transformed into larger destroyers, and the destroyer has been transformed into a real cruiser.

I have to say that the Berry Army is pretty good. The ships sent to Somalia are all new ones.

The strong curves reflected the brilliance of the sun in the sun. The young men who had just been promoted to the navy were half excited and half nervous to get familiar with the ship on the ship.

These three ships are also the reason why Lille has been "brain-burning" during this period.

Maybe his scientists are so talented that new inventions can be made in minutes.

But when it comes to actual weapon design, they always feel a little uncomfortable.

Lear is different - participating in the design of nuclear-powered military equipment was also one of his previous jobs.

Now he can design such a big thing on his own.
