With several support columns as the meridians and dozens of circular rings as the parallels, a cylindrical structure made of a grid quickly rose in the snow pit.
This is the main structure of the heat hub; all the rings are nested on the support columns and connected to support points via welding and bolts, making the whole setup extremely stable. Even when Chen Xin pushed against it twice using Power Armor, it did not wobble.
The stability of the main support frame also means a solid foundation for the subsequent construction.
Workers began Phase Two of the construction by installing evaporative cooling devices and related piping on the main support frame and the snow pit's walls.
The entire installation consists of four phases, with the remaining two involving the installation of the outer cooling panels and the overall assembly.
