As soon as the last batch of roof modules were transported to the construction site, Jiang Cheng summoned all management personnel and held a project meeting in the project headquarters.
“Now that the prefabricated modules for the roof have been assembled, we can start the construction of the roof.
You go down and inform the astronauts in each unit, and then concentrate on completing the roof project.
Let us hurry up and finish this most difficult part of the work, so that everyone can feel a little more relaxed.
Jiang Cheng stood in the middle of the engineering headquarters and issued subsequent orders to all the surrounding managers.
The next work is the focus of the entire project. I hope everyone can cheer up. As long as we can successfully complete the construction of the roof, the entire project will be considered half completed.
The most difficult part of the entire project is about to begin, and now even Jiang Cheng is a little nervous.
That's why he repeatedly emphasized this matter in the engineering headquarters, hoping to attract everyone's attention.
Judging from the construction time of the entire city, the construction of the roof will take up half of the time.
From this point, we can see the importance of this project. No wonder Jiang Cheng is so nervous.
After the construction meeting ended, everyone dispersed and started working on different tasks.
In the brain work, everyone has his or her own responsibility, and only by working together can we complete this super project.
In Zhoutian at the construction site, there is a group of four-shaped structures.
This huge circle is the foundation of the roof, supporting the weight of the entire palace roof.
Now that the foundation of the entire dome has been constructed, the construction of the ground portion will begin.
I saw a huge lifting robot lifting huge pieces of legacy modules from the stacked place to the predetermined place.
Each prefabricated block on the roof of the palace has a number, and the long series of numbers represents where it should be placed.
This hoisting work is not that simple. It requires good overall planning. The entire dome is composed of countless prefabricated blocks. Since there are too many prefabricated blocks, you want to put every prefabricated block where it belongs. This is a huge problem everywhere.
There are so many prefabricated blocks piled up on site that if you are not careful, you will place them incorrectly and the subsequent assembly work will be shelved.
Jiang Cheng directed his managers and it took several days to put all the modules into the predetermined locations.
The preliminary preparation work alone will waste so much time, and the difficulty of building the palace roof is reflected here.
Putting the prefabricated blocks in place is just the beginning, and the real difficulty lies in the subsequent assembly work.
Although this prefabricated installation construction technology is much simpler to build than monolithic construction.
But this is only relatively simple. Regardless of just assembly work, there are many issues that need to be considered.
This top is not the kind of top that is on a water polo. It is a top that will serve as a protective layer on Mars.
Therefore, this transparent dome must ensure absolute airtightness.
If there is a dimensional gap between the prefabricated blocks, even a small gap will cause a huge disaster.
When Jiang Cheng was building the entire palace roof, he had to ensure that each prefabricated block was tightly connected, and then used special techniques to weld them together to form a solid whole.
Each prefabricated block is calculated in advance before being produced, and even if one piece is installed incorrectly, it will not work.
Therefore, during installation and construction, it is necessary to ensure that each prefabricated block is not installed incorrectly and is placed in the planned place.
There are so many things that need attention in the entire project, and even Jiang Cheng, the general manager, had to walk around on site during the construction.
After more than two months of construction, the construction of the roof was still going on. Jiang Cheng stood at the construction site and watched his astronauts install the prefabricated blocks.
Each prefabricated block was lifted into the air and began to be spliced together with other prefabricated blocks.
The remaining prefabricated blocks shined brightly under the reflection of sunlight.
If the helmets on the spacesuits didn't come with built-in strong light filtering functions, the people at the scene might not be able to open their eyes.
Countless transparent modules move in the air and are hoisted to predetermined assembly positions.
The most difficult thing is that when several prefabricated blocks are close together, they have to repeatedly adjust their positions before they can be spliced together.
After several nearby prefabricated blocks are installed, they must undergo strict inspection and testing. Only if there are no gaps between each "020" prefabricated blocks can the next step be carried out.
After the splicing is completed, astronauts will use special equipment to connect the transparent prefabricated blocks together.
This kind of welding equipment is specially manufactured by Jiang Cheng, which can make the welding traces invisible while ensuring that the welding is firm.
This special welding method ensures the transparency of the entire palace roof and will not cause problems due to welding.
After the entire roof is assembled, it looks like a whole piece, with not even the slightest gap visible.
When the time comes to stand inside the city and look up at the sky, it will be as if you are outside Mars, and you will not notice the existence of the transparent dome at all.
Perhaps only after repeatedly adjusting the angle can you barely see the chakra on the top of the palace.
This kind of design is the effect Jiang Cheng wants to achieve most, so that people in the city can feel no constraints, just like staying on the surface of Mars.
While Jiang Cheng was inspecting the construction site, Xiao Peng walked up to Jiang Cheng and said: "The prefabricated blocks in the A37 area have been hoisted and are about to be completed. Do you want to go over and take a look.
The entire roof construction is divided into numerous areas, and each area has dedicated personnel to pay for the installation.
Many areas are under construction at the same time, so as to ensure the efficiency of the project. If such a large roof is installed slowly bit by bit, Jiang Cheng and the others may not be able to complete the installation in several years.
So in the end they adopted a segmented installation model. Each area first installed a part of the palace roof, and finally connected the different areas.
However, coordination between the two areas is very important. If the two areas cannot be connected in the end, the two areas will have to be dismantled and reassembled.
In order to prevent this from happening, Jiang Cheng and the others must inspect the site at any time and coordinate the progress between different areas, so that they can finally assemble the palace roof completely.
Since the entire Martian city covers a large area, Jiang Cheng did not know the situation in other areas.
After hearing the news reported by Xiao Peng, Jiang Cheng decided to go over and take a look.
The progress there is pretty good. Let's go over there and take a look.
After saying that, Jiang Cheng took the lead and walked onto the Mars rover next to him, preparing to go there with Xiao Peng to have a look.
