Description
Translation
Clip "a" : N: While writing my plan, I have to take into consideration the various installations and even the geology of the CraaTerm. The test wells were located in the middle of a crater that was created by a fallen meteor; that had happened 38 million years ago. That crater has been filled with sediment since. The whole area that is now desertic since a million years was under the sea, then it experiences an extended dry climate until now. That had evaporated that local sea totally, leaving a solidified surface layer made of salt and iron-rich sand that cover the whole area. That surface layer can be as thin as 10 cm in some area, and as thick as 3 meters in other areas. The whole area shows that rusty color because of the iron that is mixed with the solidified surface layer.
Clip "b" : N: This place has been rubidium* mine. This metal was concentrated into the fallen meteor that is located at the bottom of the crater as center peak. Lithium was also found there, this metal is used as the main fuel for our current nuclear fusion reactor. The test wells were built by widening and solidifying the abandoned mine shafts. That was a herculean work to transform that place into a propulsion test site, even though, most of the established infrastructure that was built for the mining operations is also used, now.

Génial de pouvoir te rendre visite
Moins génial, les stations thermales ferment toutes à partir d'aujourd'hui (explication sur mon post d'aujourd'hui "Bad luck !!")
