Chapter 368 Platform Exposure
"Hello everyone, I'm Boston Fatty. Next, let's talk about a topic that everyone has been paying attention to recently. It's not about artificial organs or sewage treatment. We've already talked about these before. What we're mainly going to talk about today is Umbrella's offshore platforms..."
A fat video host began his explanation.
Umbrella has always been a hot topic. It can be said that many science bloggers cannot avoid it. Almost every product has a separate issue or even several issues.
Similar to 'Si Hai Wei Jia', an old fan of Umbrella, he directly used Umbrella to become a video host with millions of fans, and was able to make money entirely from short videos.
Generally speaking, 'Home Is My Home' always gives the fastest explanation, and it feels like this guy is sleeping on the Umbrella official website.
However, there will often be other people who conduct new analyses from different angles.
This time, Boston Little Fatty found the highlight of an old topic as his entry point!
At the beginning, Umbrella ordered so many platforms, which in itself caused quite a stir and was full of speculation and suspicion.
There are people who want to enter the offshore industry, and there are people who want to mine minerals and exploit oil.
But after all, the attention was limited, and the heat died down after a while, until the confrontation with the Norwegian shipping king, when the topic became popular again.
Today, with the continuous actions of holography, artificial organs, and sewage treatment, it is still rising against the trend, mainly because most of these platforms have now taken shape and are beginning to be dragged towards the Pacific Ocean!
Nowadays, the construction of an aircraft carrier can almost be watched live in its entirety, and the same is true for larger civilian platforms.
As the equipment and robotic arms on major platforms appeared one by one, some speculations and highlights gradually surfaced.
Boston Fatso found this new opportunity. Relying on his contacts with some of his predecessors and seniors, he got some analysis and finally became completely sure. He then made this video as soon as possible to seize the initiative.
"In fact, there have always been many speculations about these Umbrella platforms, such as ocean-going, self-reliance to prevent sanctions, mining, oil and natural gas, etc. There are even people saying that there is money but nowhere to spend it, and some even say that they want to transform them into warships. However, recently, as the platforms are gradually completed, the functions of these platforms have begun to emerge..."
Sure enough, as Xiaopang said this, many people's interest was aroused.
Umbrella is rich, very rich!
Rich enough to rival a country!
This can be said to be a consensus.
Umbrella's recent acquisition activities in Mexico with huge sums of money have also become a hot topic.
However, Mexico was originally the headquarters of Umbrella. They had taken root there from the beginning and had been influenced subtly for two years, so it did not seem abrupt. Instead, it seemed natural.
But now that the effectiveness of these platforms has been demonstrated, they have quickly attracted enough attention.
Is it just that you have money but nowhere to spend it?
Obviously not.
Now it is obvious that this is going to reveal some useful information!
"According to my senior from the Department of Architecture, Mai Kou, who analyzed the surface structure of those platforms, Umbrella wants to assemble them together..."
Xiaopang didn't keep the audience in suspense. He just stated the conclusion first and then explained it slowly.
This sudden and heavy news immediately caused a shock.
What the hell?
Put them together? Do you think they are Transformers?
"No way! It was said before that with the modifications from the Norwegian shipping king, the total tonnage would be close to 20 million tons! How big is an aircraft carrier? After assembling it?"
"Surprise! I thought it was a big move, but I didn't expect it to be this big!"
"My goodness, are you going to build a city overseas?"
"incredible!"
"That's not right. A thing this big can't be put together easily. Can the connecting materials withstand it? Wouldn't the force of the waves tear it apart directly?"
"What do you want to do with such a large platform? A military platform? A scientific research platform? You're not just building it for fun, are you?"
“…”
One stone stirs up a thousand ripples, and all kinds of voices arise one after another. After seeing the response, Boston Fatty also knew that he had made the right move, and the number of people in the live broadcast room continued to increase.
“I didn’t believe it at first, but after my senior brother drew the pictures, I realized it was just a jigsaw puzzle.”
As he spoke, Boston Fatty froze the camera on the computer, which contained satellite photos of various Umbrella platforms!
As each platform has been in the civilian shipyard for such a long time, they must have been photographed clearly, and the photos have also been adjusted according to the size ratio.
Then Boston Big Bottom pieced it all together in a specific order, with three million-ton platforms as the core, like a puzzle.
The various brackets extending from each platform seem to be able to be inlaid with each other!
Finally, it was pieced together into a whole, an "in"-shaped structure when viewed from the sky, with three million-ton platforms as the core and three branches extending outward!
As for those floating docks, they were assembled as a whole on one side of one of the branches. It was obvious that this side would be used specifically for shipbuilding in the future!
It really is a city on the sea!
A steel city on the sea!
When the puzzle was completed, it instantly shocked the entire live broadcast room, and even led to a surge in popularity when some people went out to promote it.
"I know everyone still has doubts about the materials and uses, but the problem is that the facts are here. We can only see how Umbrella handles it. They have discovered 'magic' and the influence of silver. I think they may have some means to enhance the strength of the connection. I don't think we should worry about the problem of not being able to put it together. We just need to consider the function. At present, there is really no such demand. The area on land is more than enough..."
After a pause, he continued
"Also, in Mexico, Umbrella has actually been training seafarers and some machine tool operators for a long time, and has recruited many veterans. I think personnel will not be a problem..."
One stone can cause a thousand ripples.
After the veil was gradually torn off and the truth was revealed, it caused heated discussions around the world.
Because this can be said to be a miracle in human industry!
More and more relevant analyses and commentary videos began to appear, and people began to speculate what Umbrella’s exact purpose was.
Countless individuals, institutions, organizations and even countries are curious about this.
Because there are so many areas on land that have not yet been developed, offshore platforms are usually used to exploit some seabed resources.
What exactly is the purpose of building such a huge machine weighing nearly 20 million tons?
I can't understand it and I don't understand it!
…
The Pacific Ocean, although the name sounds like there are not many winds and waves, but once you enter the ocean, there are still three-foot waves even without wind.
Ordinary yachts are no longer able to reach this area.
Even when it comes to fishing, distant-water fishing vessels and near-shore fishing vessels are completely different.
Jiang Bo is actually a lucky man who caught the trend. Although his family is well-off, he does not have the money to rent a yacht for sailing all over the sea.
But during his college years, he relied on his keen vision to transform himself into a big anchor, and his income has surpassed that of his parents.
This time, he teamed up with several other anchors and chartered a Class A all-sea yacht with drone equipment, chasing Umbrella's platform from Liangang all the way to the Pacific Ocean!
"Friends, I have to say that this luxury yacht is different . It has a thousand-ton specification but has very strong stability. In fact, the waves outside are quite big now, but the bumpy feeling inside the boat is not strong."
Jiang Bo first praised the ship. Well, because of his words, the ship owner gave a 70% discount on the rental fee!
He had sensed the problem , and was the first to take the blame, which led to a wave of traffic explosion. He also wanted to stabilize the new fans, so he had this trip.
However, he himself was also very curious about Umbrella's work.
After introducing the ship, we started to enter the main part, filming a tens of thousands of tons offshore platform in front of us through the camera while explaining
"In fact, many of Umbrella's offshore platforms have been unveiled so far. Many experts in design and physics have analyzed the platforms and reached a consensus that Umbrella wants to put them all together. I believe everyone is mentally prepared. We are still using the mobile phone signal network. When we go deeper into the sea, we will need to rely on satellite live broadcasts. By then, the interactive capabilities will not be so strong. I hope everyone will forgive us..."
Jiang Bo has done a lot of homework.
Umbrella is already very popular, and its various products can be said to have influenced every aspect.
It seems that holographic bracelets have become popular among everyone these days.
Young people can tolerate not changing their smartphones for a long time, or even using low-profile phones, but they cannot accept not having a Redmoney bracelet!
Under such circumstances, Umbrella's original huge move will naturally attract more and more attention.
What's more, he had once confronted the Norwegian shipping king and directly drove him into bankruptcy.
But Umbrella's things are too many and too big to be hidden.
Nowadays, even if we build an aircraft carrier, we can’t hide it, let alone build so many bigger ones?
Then there are some experts in physics or architecture who have been constantly analyzing the structures on those platforms and have now reached this terrifying unified consensus.
These platforms with a tonnage of nearly 20 million tons will eventually be put together to form a giant monster floating on the sea!
And this time, he will witness the splicing of this industrial miracle with his own eyes!
