Funny how in the 23rd century they build starships in ancient American air bases by using 20th century tig welding from the outside!!!

Where are you getting that from? I see no evidence of any of that from anything I have seen or read.
In fact... I have found some evidence that it is not "Area 51". Seems like it is definitely built on ground though.

One of the rumors stated that the Enterprise was built at Area 51. Orci said, "No area 51. That makes no sense. The Earth KNOWS there are aliens. What possible meaning could an area 51 have?"

[T]he second thing is that the Enterprise is not some flimsy yacht that has to be delicately treated and assembled. The idea that things have to be assembled in space has normally been associated with things that don’t have to be in any kind of pressure situation and don’t ever have to ever enter a gravity well. That is not the case with the Enterprise. The Enterprise actually has to sustain warp, which we know is not actually moving but more a warping of space around it.
