Chapter 268 laying the foundation
Of course, Chen Xin is not an irresponsible person, but under the current situation, he really can't make any promises to Mo Qingyan.
In fact, there is no need for any promise between him and Mo Qingyan. What he needs to give Mo Qingyan is nothing more than emotional recognition and relationship change, from the original good brother to the couple.
As for what is really important, it is how to deal with his relationship with two women in the future.
Chen Xin had never had the experience of dating two girls at the same time, and he never thought that he would sleep on the same bed with Qin Lan and Mo Qingyan at the same time.
This made him feel at a loss about the new relationship between the three of them at this moment.
So after saying some comforting words to Mo Qingyan and agreeing to Qin Lan's unequal treaties, Chen Xin fled from his RV in a somewhat embarrassed manner and returned to the construction site.
Qin Lan and Mo Qingyan couldn't help but feel a little angry about Chen Xin's escape. After all, no woman would hope that the man would run away on the first day of the relationship.
However, they all expressed their understanding generously, willing to give Chen Xin, and at the same time they also gave themselves some time to adapt to the change in the relationship between the three.
To be honest, for Qin Lan and Mo Qingyan, it really takes time to adapt to this change in the relationship between the three.
After all, even if Qin Lan had reached an agreement with Mo Qingyan, the relationship between the three of them was very good before, but neither Chen Xin nor Qin Lan and Mo Qingyan had ever imagined that the relationship between the three would become like this now.
So it’s not just Chen Xin who needs time to adapt and adjust, they are the same.
———————————————
Chen Xin, who returned to the construction site, quickly put his energy back on his work. Although he had just experienced changes that had a significant impact on his life, his work still needed to be completed seriously.
The workers who went home for the New Year on holiday yesterday had already returned to the construction site early in the morning and were working very energetic.
Chen Xin changed into his own power armor and went to the bottom of the snow pit. He saw that the workers were demolishing the exposed cement floor under the ground, preparing to lay the foundation for the heating hub.
The entire heating hub is more than ten meters high, almost equivalent to a four or five-story building. A complete set of evaporative heat dissipation devices must be installed inside, making the entire heating hub after completion look like a erected iron tower.
Of course, the current heating hub is just a bunch of parts that have not been combined, and workers need to assemble them bit by bit after laying the foundation.
Chen Xin, who went to the bottom of the snow pit, saw workers using a pneumatic pick to punch the cement on the ground, but the effect was not good and the construction progress was not ideal.
Chen Xin had expected this situation. After all, the low temperature of tens of degrees below zero and the cold has already frozen the ground hard. Even the ice layer formed by the snow next to it is as hard as granite. It is not easy to penetrate the already hard cement floor and make holes large enough on the ground to serve as the foundation of the heating hub.
However, Chen Xin obviously wouldn't just watch the workers slowly smashing the floor with time and effort. Chen Xin, with power armor, could easily break the cement on the ground and make holes that meet the requirements of the design drawings.
"Get out of the way, let me do it." Chen Xin said to the workers, asking them to stop work and make way out of the way, then squatted down and controlled the robotic arm to the position where the workers had just broken with a pneumatic pick.
I just hit this place with a pneumatic pick, but there were only a few white dots left on the ground, and there was no sign of breaking.
Obviously, the freezing brought by the cold makes these already solid cement stronger and difficult to penetrate.
But this did not work in front of Chen Xin's robotic arm. As the various tools on the robotic arm worked together, Chen Xin soon cut the cement on the ground directly.
Although the cement is very hard and cannot be broken with a pneumatic pick, this does not mean that it can withstand cutting by a cutting machine.
After cutting the cement, it does not mean that the work becomes easier, it can only be said that it is relatively not that difficult to deal with.
Because under the cement is gravel and soil, these are the foundations filled in when building squares in the past, and they are also pressed by a road roller. While ensuring the ground is flat, the soil and soil below are pressed tighter.
If it were just like this, it would be done if the workers dig with a hoe, but the cold and low temperature turned the soil into permafrost, which could not be dug out easily by manpower.
In fact, Chen Xin asked the workers to try it. Even if they used a pneumatic pick, they would only make a small pit on these gravel frozen soil. Although it was not useless, it would take a long time to drill Chen Xin's foundation on the ground with a pneumatic pick.
Faced with this situation, Chen Xin could only continue to wave his robotic arm.
So in the surprised eyes of the workers, Chen Xin's robotic arm laid all the foundations needed for the construction of the heating hub on the ground with an efficiency of nearly ten times faster than them.
"Okay, the foundation has been laid, and the next construction will be left to you." Chen Xin stood up from the ground, feeling his waist a little sore, so he said to the workers and asked them to continue the construction, and then he climbed out of the snow pit.
Although the workers were very surprised by Chen Xin's work efficiency in power armor, they could only envy them. It was their turn to work, and they could only use their hard-working hands.
Several main support columns of the heating hub were buried in the foundation just laid according to the requirements marked by Chen Xin on the drawings, and other support members were assembled according to the drawings, and several main support columns were fixed and kept horizontal and vertical. Only then did they start pouring cement into the foundation.
Of course, the cement used by workers is no longer the ordinary cement in the past. Although that kind of cement is not unusable, the temperature must be raised to above zero degrees. For Chen Xin and others, there are no such construction conditions yet.
So they use antifreeze cement with antifreeze and water reducing agent to ensure that the cement will not freeze because the moisture in it condenses too quickly, resulting in cavity and other phenomena in the cement.
These workers are skilled, so there is no problem with this step. All the supporting columns were successfully poured in cement according to the construction requirements.
Moreover, because the weather was too cold, the cement had frozen as hard as a stone not long after, and firmly fixed the support column of the heating hub to the ground.
