Infrastructure: Start to Repair The Elevator in Mount Everest

Down the mountain.

Li Qi heard about this time of one month, and couldn't help being stunned. He didn't expect the time to be so long.

Li Qi picked up the walkie-talkie and asked, "What is your predicament?"

"Everything depends on manpower. And the rock of Mount Everest is so hard that it can only be excavated bit by bit with steel drills and hammers. And although we have 200,000 people, we have to do it. There are more than 10,000 foundation pits...Each foundation pit must reach a depth of more than 20 meters to reach the standard."

Li Ming paused and said: "Our demand is electricity. The battery we used is in extreme climates like Mount Everest, and a battery will fail in only two minutes. Electric drills and electric hammers simply cannot be used. "

The weight of a battery is 20 kilograms, and a person can only carry one battery up the mountain at a time. But a battery can only fail in two minutes under the conditions of Mount Everest. Because in extreme climates, the loss of electricity is very fast. In extreme climates, the power consumption rate of electronic devices will also double.

This is totally uneconomical.

Can't carry the battery up the mountain every day, right?

The few generators are just down the mountain, and the batteries can only be charged in the base camp...

Li Ming also said: "We have to speed up, there are only two ways. First, drag a high-voltage cable up the mountain. Second, we need 3,000 large generators."

Li Qi pondered for a moment: "The fleet of the Ganshan Branch is equipped with generators."

"How long will they take..."

"Should it be coming soon?"

Li Qi is also a little uncertain.

On the mountain.

Compared with the second step, the really difficult area is the big air outlet!

Great wind forever.

I don't know if it is because of a coincidence that the heavens deliberately brought Yishan and reclamation to block the sea. Since the Everest Elevator Project was finalized, the wind force at the big tuyere seems to be crazy, and it hasn't been lower than tenth level!

Under such a cold wind, if a person stands here and does not move. It only takes an hour to be frozen into ice!

Fortunately, the people who move mountains and fill the sea are all robots, but if so, there are still many people working with frozen bodies.

On a steep rock face.

More than a hundred people were tied together with ropes around their waists, and everyone lay on the ground and tightly grasped the steel cone on the ground. A hundred people, just to hang down the two construction workers.

The foundation pit is located on a 90-degree vertical cliff, and people must be lowered with ropes before construction can be carried out. And a hundred people, in the hurricane, just to hold two people!

On the cliff, the two men were chiseling the rock again and again with the steel drill.

‘Ding Dong, Ding Dong. Dingdong’

"This, when does it have to be chiseled?"

An employee murmured, looking at the depth of only a dozen centimeters that had been cut out in one day. He couldn't help feeling a little desperate: "We, dragged down the progress of the project."

"It's dynamite."

"You have to use an electric drill to drill a deep hole in advance for loading explosives. Plane blasting is impossible."

"Ugh."

While talking, the two swayed in the wind, and then dug the rocks again and again.

The tip of the steel drill has been smashed flat, but the rock still doesn't move!

It has carried the world's highest peak and stood here for countless years. How can it not be proud?

The gust of wind it was blowing seemed to despise these ants and try to open their eyes on it.

‘Huhu——’

The strong wind intensified.

The people on the two cliffs began to sway like a swing...

The captain squatted on the ground at the wind outlet, picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Go down two more!"

"Yes!"

Two loud roars immediately. Among the people lying on the ground, two began to stretch the ropes around their waists, picked up steel cones and jumped off the cliff...
