Chapter 469
Li Qingye didn't stay in the Chad branch for too long.
The first year of Xinghe, October 9th.
Under the escort of the Aerospace Fleet, he arrived at the business area of the Meroe branch. In order to avoid being too abrupt, he did not go directly to the Darfur Plateau, but went to South Meroe first.
The space carrier passed slowly over Juba City, the capital of South Meroe, and then landed at an airship airport on the east side.
Mapel, the manager of the Merroy branch, had been waiting at the airport for a long time.
As soon as Li Qingye got off the airship, he felt a wave of heat: "This place is really hot!"
Sanji Badaleal hurriedly took a small electric fan to blow him air.
"Chairman, welcome to the Merroy branch. I'm Mapel, and I'm in charge of the company's regional operations and management." Mapel is not purely black, but a black-and-yellow mixed race on Mada Island, with a biased skin color. in Javanese.
Li Qingye commented with a smile: "This city is well built!"
"It is our honor to be in the eyes of the chairman, chairman, this is the industry directory of Juba City, please have a look."
Mapel presented a beautiful booklet with his hands.
Li Qingye took it and flipped through the brochures, all of which were the various projects and industries invested and constructed by the company in the local area.
For example, the Juba Dam is under construction. As the core city of the upper reaches of the White Nile, Juba has a very large river drop, which is very suitable for the construction of a dam.
He closed the booklet: "Go to the Air Rail Company to see it!"
"Okay, Mr. Chairman."
The convoy was driving slowly on the road.
Juba City is a highland city with an altitude of about 500 meters, and the temperature is relatively suitable. At least compared with other low-altitude cities in the area, it is not too hot to be outdoors.
After the power of Homo sapiens entered here, it invested a lot of infrastructure.
Due to the latecomer advantage, many new technologies developed by Homo sapiens in the later stage are reflected in the infrastructure construction of this city.
For example, the green carpet produced by genetic recombination technology almost covers the entire surface of the city's buildings, making Juba City look almost emerald green.
This kind of green carpet can absorb water molecules in the air through photosynthesis. Its fleshy stems and leaves are similar to succulents and have a strong water storage capacity.
The green carpet can adjust air humidity, oxygen and carbon dioxide concentration, absorb harmful gases, and can keep the indoor temperature between 26 and 28 degrees Celsius.
And because the entire city is covered with green carpets, the outdoor temperature in the entire Juba City is maintained between 20 and 35 degrees Celsius.
Just now Li Qingye felt a scorching heat wave at the airport, that was because there was no large-scale green blanket in this area to regulate humidity and temperature.
Li Qingye could see the streets and alleys along the way through the car window.
In addition to the locals, there are also a lot of East Asians with clear skin, or brown Southeast Asians, and white North Africans.
The minibus walked around the block, and then came to the outskirts of the XC district.
"Chairman, we are here." Mapel said as he opened the car door.
After Li Qingye got down, he saw a huge factory, and there was a large station on the side of the factory.
But the station is not on the ground, but in mid-air, and the track is also in mid-air.
This is the product of Merroy Air Rail Group - composite overhead railway.
Li Qingye entered the production base.
Fan Haibo, the person in charge of the factory who received the notification, ran over sweating profusely: "Whoa... Chairman, welcome to our factory for inspection. I am Fan Haibo, the factory director."
"Don't be nervous, I'll just take a look. I heard that you are building the Meroy Southern Plateau Railway. How is it going?"
Fan Haibo, who secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly replied: "Chairman, we have already built an 86-kilometer experimental line, and the current operation is in good condition."
Immediately afterwards, Fan Haibo introduced the technology of their factory in detail.
The construction and operation of this overhead railway are somewhat different from traditional railways.
Specifically speaking, the material performance is strong, and only with sufficient material performance support can you play this kind of overhead railway.
Its construction process is very interesting. First, a hollow pipe with a diameter of 10 meters is synthesized using a biosynthetic aluminum-silicon material. The strength of this material is 3.27 times that of ordinary steel.
After the one-time synthesis of the pipeline, a construction airship transformed from a transport airship was used to pull the 8400-ton, 300-meter-long pipeline into the sky.
According to the conditions of the soil and rock formations below, randomly adjust the flight height, aim at the target area, and then throw the pipe directly from a high altitude.
Under the influence of the earth's gravity, this huge pipe will be inserted into the ground at a depth of 240-280 meters in an instant.
In the wall of the pipeline, there is a small pipeline system called "capillary". The construction personnel can inject special genetically modified bacteria to integrate the pipeline with the underground rock soil and enhance the comprehensive load-bearing capacity of the column.
Usually a node will be driven into 4 to 6 hollow pipes.
Next, according to the height of the overhead track, the factory will customize a batch of hollow pipes that are smaller in diameter than the ground pile pipes and just fit into the inner diameter of the ground pile pipes. However, both ends of this hollow pipe are sealed.
Also use the airship to insert a smaller hollow pipe into the ground pile pipe.
Due to gravity, the small pipe will squeeze the soil and rock in the pile pipe, causing the soil and rock in it to become more and more compact.
Of course, the small pipe has a limit ring, which can prevent the pipe from dropping too much.
After completing the construction of the columns, the next step is the modular node equipment, which can connect the four columns.
Normally, the distance between each node will be about 10 kilometers, and the part between nodes is connected.
It is a special nano-alloy previously used in the Dandelion project. The cables made of this alloy connect two nodes in a group of 4.
The diameter of the cable is only 3.4 cm, and its load-bearing capacity is very strong.
Builders then lay lightweight alloy panels and rails on the cables.
The rails can run high-speed heavy-duty railways, and under the rails, suspended trains can be used to form dual-purpose rails that carry goods on the top and carry passengers on the bottom.
In addition, because the material performance is good enough, the arrangement of 4 horizontal parallel rails between two nodes is only the minimum utilization rate.
If the route in this area is busy, you can also consider adding three-dimensional lines. The maximum layout is 4 upper and lower layers, and each layer has 4 horizontal rails, a total of 16 rails.
Moreover, each rail can be used up and down, which is equivalent to running 32 tracks.
The reason why the Merroy Air Rail Group came up with this kind of railway.
On the one hand, it is because there are too many nature reserves in Africa. To build a railway on the ground, it must pass through nature reserves and wild animal habitats.
On the other hand, it is because the infrastructure in Africa is too bad. It is not only costly but also very troublesome to build ground roads and railways.
For example, there are vast deserts, tropical rainforests flooded twice in three days, and a large number of uninhabited mountains and hills.
As for the underground railway, the company is of course also working on it, but it is more afraid of the super large mantle plume and the Numia aquifer underground in Africa, so it is more cautious about the underground railway project.
After much deliberation, the Merroy branch decided to engage in lower-cost overhead railways.
Of course, this cost is for the Homo sapiens company. If it is other forces, the cost of the overhead railway will be higher than that of the ground railway.
