Galaxy Technology Empire

Walkerton, Western Australia.

This is the hinterland of Oceania, with a typical desert steppe climate, with the Gibson Desert to the north and the Victoria Desert to the south.

It is very desolate here. May in Oceania is the transition between autumn and winter, and the desert grasslands have begun to wither and decline.

But at this time, Walkerton had turned into a real large construction site.

A fresh water pipeline from the desalination plant on the coast of the Great Australian Bight has arrived near Walkerton.

Fang Ping stood on top of a quick-build building. The so-called quick-build building was an assembly line product of Planet Group. The steel frame was customized directly in the steel factory, and the building formwork was customized in the formwork factory.

Then it is directly transported to the destination where construction is required, where the steel frame and formwork are assembled, and foam cement is added to build a 50-story quick-build building in just three days.

Due to standardized production, these buildings are all the same and are often ridiculed as assembly line products without any aesthetics.

Planet Group certainly has very distinctive customized products, but the question is whether the price is acceptable. The price difference between personalized customization and assembly line products is about three times.

The price of a 400-square-meter quick-build building with 50 floors above ground and 3 floors underground was sold by Planet Group for 10 million Mars coins (including 30% profit).

Of course, this price does not include decoration, nor does it include land purchase costs. It is only the cost after construction.

"Am I so destined to the desert? Why are I always assigned to work in desert areas?" Fang Ping complained as he felt the strong ultraviolet rays outside, and hurriedly went under the parasol.

A typical special feature of the desert climate is that the temperature difference between day and night is very large. It is so hot at noon that you can eat watermelon with short sleeves, and at night you have to wear a cotton-padded jacket and turn on the heater.

"Fang branch, a 100-billion-level nuclear fusion generator will be transported from East Island the day after tomorrow." Assistant Du Lin came over with a document.

Fang Ping has been transferred from the previous president of Haifeng Wind Power to the branch director of Western Australia.

"Have our power station and power storage station been built?" Fang Ping asked as he took the document.

Du Lin looked at the holographic display: "The supporting facilities of the power station are already in place, but the power storage station is not yet there, and 64% of the batteries are not in place."

"Urge the Raytheon Group, the construction work in Nandu cannot be delayed!"

"I will contact Raytheon Group immediately."

Nandu is the future core of the Galaxy Consortium in Oceania. As for why it is built in the inland desert of Western Australia?

The first is to strengthen the connection between Western Australia and Eastern Australia. Previously, due to the isolation of the desert, Western Australia had obvious separatism. Obviously, this is not allowed by the Galaxy Consortium.

The Southern Capital was built in Walkerton, a city in the inland desert of Western Australia, right at the junction of Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory.

The second is to avoid conflicts between locals and immigrants. There are two core areas in Turkey and Australia, namely the Melbourne-Canberra-Sydney area in the southeast and the Perth area in the southwest.

The Galaxy Consortium's strategy is to temporarily avoid its edge and completely annex Tu'ao through subtle means.

Nandu is pursuing this strategy, building a core economic zone in Nandu through powerful desalination plants, nuclear fusion power generation and large-scale investment.

These desert areas are typical no-man's land. The desert area in Tu'ao is 1.55 million square kilometers. If semi-desert areas are included, the total area is as high as 3.4 million square kilometers, accounting for about 44% of the total land area.

Excluding inhabited areas and nature reserves, the area that can be transformed and utilized is as high as 2 million square kilometers.

These areas are located in subtropical and tropical areas, with abundant heat and very flat land. With cheap fresh water and electricity, the Galaxy Consortium is confident that it can transform this area into a paradise.

What is the concept of 2 million square kilometers of subtropical and tropical arable land? 2 million square kilometers is 3 billion acres. Previously, the total arable land in the Eastern Tang Dynasty was only 1.8 billion. After the transformation of the northwest and Mobei deserts in recent years, the arable land has increased dramatically. .

Moreover, the deserts in Tuao are easier to transform than those in Dongtang because they are very close to the coastline and the flat terrain is conducive to pipeline laying.

For example, the Victoria Desert is about 130 kilometers away from the coastline; the Great Sandy Desert in the northwest is right on the seaside.

The Galaxy Consortium has planned to immigrate 200 million people to Oceania and completely assimilate Tuao with its population.

As for the overrun hares, kangaroos and the like, in front of my great foodies, I turned them into protected animals in minutes.

…

Zhang Huaide was sitting on a passenger airship. This time he led a team to build a nuclear fusion power station in Nandu, Western Australia.

"Dear passengers, we will land at Nandu Airship Station in ten minutes. Please fasten your seat belts." Airship pilot Li Chengye shouted through the public address system.

"..." Another local trainee pilot from Tu'ao also repeated it in English.

Zhang Huaide looked at the desert in the distance. The huge squares completely divided the deserts into independent areas. It was very shocking to go down from mid-air.

These grids are divided by embankments built with foam cement. The grid is a square with a side length of 1 kilometer.

Some squares already have glass greenhouses or lush plants inside.

Soon the passenger airship landed slowly at a huge airship station, which is an area covering an area of ​​2 square kilometers, which is two standard transformation squares.

Zhang Huaide and others got off the passenger airship and waited for the unloading of the other five cargo airships. These goods were one of the accessories for the 100-billion-level nuclear fusion power station they brought this time.

Inside the cockpit of a passenger airship.

"Dazhi, Tom, take a rest. We'll return to Darwin tomorrow." Li Chengye set the charging mode while talking.

At this time, the sun was almost setting outside.

"I'm going to check out the cabin." Wen Dazhi opened the cabin door.

"Captain, are they your friends?" Tom asked, looking at Li Chengye who was watching the live broadcast, because the people in the live broadcast were very similar to the people in the photo frame beside them, even though people from the Tang Dynasty looked similar to Tom (racial prosopagnosia) ).

"This guy is my college classmate. He chose the astronaut major, and I chose the airship pilot major." Li Chengye pointed at the live broadcast on the holographic display and smiled.

"Astronauts can travel to space for free. I heard that the ticket price for space tourism is 100,000 Mars coins. I also want to go and see it." Tom said enviously.

"If you want to travel to the new Kaohsiung Space Station, you don't need 100,000 Mars coins. When you become a regular employee, you can buy it at a 50% discount." Li Chengye reminded, so that Tom would not waste his money.

"Um? Our company still has this benefit?" Tom was a little surprised.

"We and the New Kaohsiung Space Station are part of the same company? You didn't know?"

"A company? How many branches does our company have?" Tom already felt numb. It was his first time to see a huge industrial and commercial complex like the Galaxy Consortium.

Li Chengye thought for a while and said: "There are so many. I haven't counted them specifically, but if you see the silver star flag with a blue background, it usually belongs to our company."

And inside the live broadcast room.

Ma Wu and others sent the second batch of astronauts from the International Space Station, Andrew Morgan, Jessica, and Oleg, into the Qinglong-class spacecraft.

Then the three people were placed in the life-sustaining cabin. Ma Wu was one of the pilots of the Qinglong-class spacecraft this time.
