February 7，On the eve of the Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon，China's Fifth Antarctic Research Station, the New Ross Sea Station（Qinling station）The station is officially opened，This is the first perennial scientific research station established in China in the new era.。During the construction of the new station，Several Telescopic Crawler Cranes of Zoomlion to Meet the Extreme Cold Environment，Participate in the steel structure construction of the new station。Aurora green against the sea, sky, ice and snow，Fully displayed in the construction sprint“A great power weighs heavily”Elegance。

Since 1985，China has successively built the Great Wall Station on the Antarctic continent.、Zhongshan Station、Four scientific research stations at Kunlun Station and Taishan Station。The fifth scientific research station——Qinling Station is located on Enksburg Island off the coast of the Ross Sea, Antarctica.。After many times of screening and investigation,，Finally, in 2018, Enksburg Island was identified as the site of China's fifth Antarctic research station.，To fill the gap in Ross Sea regional research。

The Antarctic continent is a plateau that rises in the middle and slopes to the sides.，Once the heavy cold air plunges down along the smooth surface of the Antarctic Plateau,，There will be a strong wind.，Typical of the Antarctic interior.“Descending wind”。Qinling Station is located in the area where the descending wind prevails.，It brings great difficulties to the project construction.。
Work continuously in extreme natural environment，The research station is the most basic support platform and logistical support facility for the scientific research team members.。Expand new areas、Construction of a new research station，It is the basic premise and inevitable choice for deepening the study of Antarctic expedition.。The main building area of Qinling Station is 5120 square meters.，It is the largest single building in China's existing research stations.。

Early December 2023，Under the CCTV camera，Zoomlion telescopic Crawler CraneZCT600V5 Same“Snow Dragon 2”No. And“Tianhui”The ship passed through 36 days，After a voyage of more than 8,600 nautical miles, it officially landed on the Antarctic continent.。
Mid-December 2023，ZoomlionZCT600V5. Stable and efficient play，Help the new station to complete the hoisting of the first highest steel column of the main building，It marks the full start of the main project construction of the new station.。The length of the steel column is 16.5 meters，There are six of them.，It is the structural component of the core of the whole main building.，It is also the longest single lifting component in the history of China's Antarctic station construction.。

Polar climate brings extreme challenges to construction，More than 800 kilograms of curtain wall panels are like leaves floating in the air under the action of extreme wind.，Very difficult to control。
“The most difficult thing is the South Pole.”。Early February，In the critical period of construction sprint，The weather forecast shows，A Category 12 hurricane is coming.，Builders must be there before the hurricane.，Complete closure of the windward side of the new station，Otherwise, there is a risk that the wallboard that has been installed will be blown away.。This process will take at least 3 days.，But the construction window is only 10 hours.。

On the windward side，At this time, there are still 3 boards not installed.，Builders use traction ropes to control the trajectory of curtain wall panels.，More than 800 kilograms of curtain wallboard under the action of strong wind，Like leaves in the air, it's hard to control.。The wind at the scene increased to level 8.，The temperature plummeted，However, under the stable and reliable operation of Zoomlion Crawler Crane,，12:30 in the morning，The last board was successfully installed in place.。

Meet the extreme working conditions，Solve construction problems，On a journey to extend the power of man，Zoomlion with powerful equipment and excellent technology，Write a new legend with the builders，It will continue to contribute to the development of China's scientific research and other undertakings.。
