Coming to the bottom of the fortifications, Carlson's mood calmed down when he saw the scene.
The engineering officers and men did not slacken off or lie. The progress of the project is much slower than expected, and the responsibility is not on others, but on Carlson.
Simply put, Carlson didn't think about everything when arranging tasks.
This is, the location of the fortifications is not ideal. A huge hole appeared at the bottom of the fortification, and it was invisible at all, which caused the foundation of the fortification to be unstable, which affected the subsequent construction and even had to rebuild. You know, this is a military fortification, not a civilian facility. Besides, even for civilian facilities, unstable foundations will also cause quality problems. If the construction quality is not up to the standard, causing the corps to suffer serious losses in the battle, the person in charge of the construction shall bear full responsibility, and severely will be punished. More importantly, if the fortifications are not repaired, they are likely to be destroyed by the enemy during heavy work.
Seeing this situation, Carlson was very heady.
The construction time was already tight, but now there are quality problems again, which is really troublesome.
In fact, this is not the first fort with quality problems.
Prior to coming here, Carlson had dealt with several similar situations, and the only way was to overthrow it and start over, and the quality of the project must not be ignored because of a hurry.
Now, it can only be reworked.
Obviously, this has to delay a lot of time, at least this fortification will take half a day, which means that the construction team can complete one less fortification within the specified time than the scheduled time. If you count the problems in other places, the current manpower is simply not enough.
Thinking of this, Carlson couldn't help sighing.
Although knowing that complaining is useless, Carlson still couldn't help complaining secretly.
Carlson knew that no one was to blame for this incident, but he himself was too negligent to ignore the key issues that should not be ignored by any engineer.
This is the geological structure.
Although the slag is a planet, its mass and size are ordinary and nothing special, but the slag star is very different from similar solid planets. This is, before being abandoned, the Slag Star has been uncontrolled mining for two hundred years. Although there are no exact statistics, according to relevant records, the crazy mining behavior caused at least 15% of the mass of the slag star to lose.
What is this concept
Replaced with any other planet, it would have collapsed long ago because of the change in the gravitational field caused by the loss of so much mass. The slag star did not collapse, not because of the special geological structure, but during crazy mining, in order to ensure safety, the miners used various methods to strengthen the mine, thus making the inside of the slag star a typical honeycomb structure, which is more solid. No collapse due to quality loss.
However, this unnatural structure cannot be sustained for a long time.
To put it bluntly, man-made facilities have a period of use.
More importantly, the prosperity of the Slag Star did not last long, and it was abandoned after the resources were mined. It has been thousands of years.
What kind of man-made buildings can exist for thousands of years
Even if there is, it is not solid.
What's more, when the mine was strengthened, it was only to be able to mine resources safely. In large-scale mining, no matter how large the veins are, they will be quickly mined. Therefore, when strengthening the mine, there is no long-term plan, nor will it Some people are stupid enough to spend a lot of money to strengthen the mine tunnels to last thousands of years.
The mine tunnels on the Slag Star are still there, just because they have not been damaged in the past thousands of years.
Simply put, the current slag star is actually a sand-like planet. Although it will not collapse due to a little external disturbance, it will definitely cause geological disasters when the external effects are too obvious. The collapse of the foundation is actually only the smallest geological disaster.
This is what Carlson overlooked.
In fact, strictly speaking, the responsibility does not lie with Carlson.
This is, the information provided by the Fleet Command to Carlsen is not accurate at all, all of which are thousands of years ago, and Carlsen made the construction plan based on this information. Obviously, the slag star thousands of years ago is not what it is now, and there will be no such problem.
However, Carlson is still blaming himself.
He is not only an officer of the engineering unit, but also a geological expert. Anyone who engages in engineering has to understand geology and can definitely be regarded as an expert. Even if the information provided by the Fleet Command is inaccurate, as an expert, Carlson should think of these issues in advance. What's more, as an officer of the engineering unit, you should be well prepared. You should know that the army has no regularity in fighting, and it is common to set up camps in unfamiliar locations. If you don’t understand the local situation, it will cause various problems during the construction of the camp, which obviously doesn’t make sense. Besides, the commander of the headquarters will certainly not think that the person in charge of the project is not responsible.
Of course, responsibility is responsibility, and the current problem is how to make up for it.
Fortunately, Carlson is experienced.
In fact, the problems encountered now are only temporary. When the camp is completed, these problems will disappear.
That is, as long as the camp is completed, the large primordial energy converter used to maintain the camp arrives and starts to operate, the primordial energy can be used to stabilize the foundation. If necessary, even a huge energy barrier can be made to protect the entire base. Under the protection of the energy barrier, even if the foundation is unstable, it is not a big problem, so the problems encountered now are not a problem at all.
But when can the camp be completed
According to standard procedures, the fleet will send the large power converters that maintain the normal operation of the camp only after the perimeter defense is established. This construction procedure has its reasons, that is, only the completion of the perimeter defense deployment can ensure the safety of the camp, and it is also possible to complete all the construction work. If the perimeter defense deployment is not in place, there will be no security during the construction of the camp.
In addition, large primary energy converters are extremely expensive.
The only thing that can maintain a fortress-level barracks that can support a hundred legions is the SSS-level primordial energy converter. Even the Thunder Clan is not rich enough to be able to use the SSS-level primordial energy converter at will. What's more, what is needed to maintain a military camp is not only a large primary energy converter, but also a lot of supporting equipment, such as generators used to make energy barriers, an ecosystem, and so on. If you want to bring out the value of the large-scale original energy converter, you have to send these equipment together, and you have to complete the installation and debugging at the same time. Simply put, the resources consumed to build a fortress-class barracks are equivalent to, or even more than, the construction of a warship of the same level.
The outer fortifications have not been completed, and the fleet command may not send the original energy converter and other equipment.
In other words, Carlson must first complete the perimeter fortifications.
Of course, there is no room for discussion.
This is the Slag Star, far from the front line, and there are no residents, so there is no danger. The Legion’s standard construction procedure is for war, not for peacetime. Since there are no enemies here, there is no need to care too much about the perimeter defense deployment, and installing a large original energy converter in advance will not pose a big problem. Besides, if this camp is really needed, the fleet commander will certainly not embarrass Carlson on this issue.
To put it bluntly, embarrassing Carlson will not have any results.
If Carlson can't solve these problems, then it's the same for sending anyone else. The problem is real, and we can only find a way to solve it.
After thinking about it carefully, Carlson made a decision.
After getting the engineers to prepare for the rework, Carlson activated the communication equipment he carried and reported the problems encountered to the Fleet Command and the solutions, including sending large-scale original energy converters and other equipment in advance. The camp becomes operational as soon as possible.
In fact, this is also Carlson's greatest authority.
Although he is the person in charge of the project here and the highest commander of the engineering units of the three corps, he is only a mid-level officer, and can only respond to the situation to the fleet command and propose solutions to problems. In his capacity, he could not report directly to the fleet commander.
This is also understandable. If any mid-level officer is in trouble and goes to the fleet commander, even if the Wanluo Battle Emperor is in command, he will be dizzy and dizzy. According to the command procedures of the fleet, Carlson’s response will be assessed by the staff officer of the Fleet Headquarters and then sent to the senior staff in charge of related affairs, and the senior staff will be dealt with in order according to the assessment level, that is, the degree of urgency. Only particularly important matters will be transferred to the fleet commander, and the fleet commander will make the decision. General affairs can't reach the fleet commander at all, they can be handled in the fleet headquarters. Although the procedures are a bit complicated, relying on a powerful optical brain and numerous staff members, the problems reported by the commanders of the grassroots units will be dealt with immediately and appropriately, but whether they can get a reply in time is another question.
In any case, Carlson did what he should do.
Of course, he also believes that since the construction of the military barracks is so important, then the issues he reflects will definitely be taken seriously by the staff of the Fleet Command, and might be passed on to the Fleet Commander. As long as the fleet commander still believes it is necessary to build a barracks here, he will respond immediately. Of course, the so-called "immediate" is not immediately, but rather than waiting for a period of time like ordinary affairs.
Maybe, just these few days.
Thinking of this, Carlson couldn't help but smile.
A thousand years of peace and prosperity has made everyone slack off. If it were a thousand years ago, that is, during the Fifth Greenwich War, such a problem would be dealt with immediately. In some major battles, senior commanders will even personally deal with the problems reported by the officers of the grassroots units.
Only now, Carlson can only wait patiently.
Of course, in the past few days, the engineering unit under his command can still complete the construction of some fortifications. By then, the outer line of defense has almost taken shape.
Sigh, Carlson didn't delay much time.
This is just a fortification. There are hundreds of similar fortifications on the circular defense line of the barracks. Carlson does not intend to stay here.
However, when he was about to leave, the ground shook, and it was extremely violent.
