I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World Chapter 924: Space elevator completed
Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
As long as the weather is good enough, even the island of New Guinea, which is hundreds of kilometers away, can see the giant tower straight into the sky.
No one knows what it is, as if it appeared there overnight, and "growing" to the earth's center day and night, falling under the skyline.
From a distance, it looks like a strand of hair, and only a high-powered telescope can be used to see the scattered textures on the tower.
If it is on the southernmost island of Anga in the New Kingdom, even with the naked eye, you can get a glimpse of the macroscopic view of this tower. It is for this reason that many aerospace and alien enthusiasts have come to the new country not far away, just to see this incredible spectacle.
Yes, only the word wonder can describe this magnificent project that connects heaven and earth.
"Dad! What is that?" Standing on the beach of Anga Island, the little boy asked crisply, pointing at the white line connecting the heaven and the earth in the distance.
"That's an elevator." Looking at the space elevator in the distance, a fascinated expression appeared on the face of a man in beach pants.
"Elevator? Where is this elevator going?" the little boy asked, looking at his dad with doubt.
"Go to space," the man rubbed the little boy's head. "When Dad was a kid, he had to use a very high rocket to go to space to fly up in the back. Now, an elevator is enough."
"Space? Do I have a chance to go?" The little boy's eyes flickered with hope and looked at his father.
"Of course. Not just space, maybe you will have a chance to go to a more distant place." The man smiled and looked at the cloud pierced by the space elevator, "Boy, you caught a good one Times. "
The sea area near the space elevator was placed in a military restricted zone by the Star Ring Trade. The frigate modified with the J-type fifty-type electromagnetic gun cruised in the nearby waters, and drove the ships that entered the area with the help of the maritime police ship. The offshore platform equipped with a laser air defense system is deployed in the sea area two kilometers away from the space elevator to defend against missiles or aircraft that may pose a threat to the space elevator.
Under the narrow and long space elevator, a cuboid with a length and width of several kilometers is floating above the sea.
As a sea-based base station for space elevators, it can dock cargo ships with 10,000-ton displacement, and the adjacent runway also allows civil airliners to dock.
The currently completed space elevator has six passenger aisles on the inside and six freight aisles on the outside. A vertically upward "carriage" is placed in the passenger aisle, with a single "carriage" carrying 60-80 passengers, using the principle of electromagnetic drive. The entire car is like a projectile of an electromagnetic gun, accelerating on a rail that is energized.
As for the freight passage, the principle is similar to the passenger passage, but because it is for transporting goods, the acceleration of the carriage will be above 10G that humans cannot bear, and the vertical speed will also approach the first cosmic acceleration.
Each freight car can push 50 tons of cargo to the synchronous orbit, which is equivalent to two Long March 5 carrier rockets. As for the transportation cost per ton of cargo, it has completely exploded several streets of spaceX's Falcon series rockets.
For this "giant tower" that connects outer space to the earth, countries seem to already know something, but they all remain silent. I believe that even if they don't say anything, the future group will soon disclose this secret. They are waiting for the future group to speak first, and then make their own demands based on the chips in their hands.
Compared with the silence of the governments of various countries, the Internet has exploded.
Space elevator!
This concept, which originally existed in fantasy literature and film and television works, was moved into reality by the Future Group? !
It was a video uploaded to YouTube by a newly registered user that completely detonated public opinion. In the video, the employees of Xinghuan Trading operate the engineering truck, load the unknown cargo into the cargo box of the space elevator, and then send it to space.
The video shot was very clear and edited. This anonymous user is likely to be an insider of Xinghuan Trading. It can even be said that this video was released with the permission of Xinghuan Trading.
No matter what the purpose of this video is, it has caused enough sensation on the Internet. Not to mention other online platforms, just below this video comment area, netizens expressed their shock in their hearts in various languages.
"My God, I can witness the human race towards the interstellar age in my lifetime!"
"It's far away! It's just a broken elevator, even if Armstrong's cyclotron super-curvature engine is not built, and dare to call it into the interstellar age?"
"What kind of stuff is upstairs? Do n’t say anything, take some medicine first."
"I heard that the Japanese Dalin Construction Company plans to start construction of a space elevator in 2050? Seek the psychological shadow area of the president of this company."
Not only the spontaneous discussions by netizens, but also major newspapers, televisions, and online media have made follow-up reports on this century-long project of the Future Group.
"The breakthrough in graphene technology has laid the groundwork for the completion of today ’s space elevators. The height of 36,000 kilometers will surpass any tall building in the world and will exceed any building in the next fifty years. Worthy What makes us reflect is that when we are trying to build the building higher and make the building more valuable, so valuable that most people can't afford it, the small countries far away in the Pacific have already reached out to us. Where I can look up. "BBC News.
"The paradox of the rocket is that most of the rocket's fuel is consumed on the push fuel itself. And the space elevator can rely on electrical energy to send what we need to push to the synchronous orbit. President of the International Space Elevator Association Peter believes that the space elevator is an amazing technology that allows us to open the door to the solar system. We all thought he was whimsical a few years ago, but now I am afraid no one will doubt this. "Columbia Broadcasting.
"... Behind this great project, is a very creative entrepreneur. His contribution to modern civilization is far more than the sum of Steve Jobs and Gates, because his wide range of fields is astonishing And such a great entrepreneur was born in a small county called Hucheng in the south of the country. What kind of living environment gave birth to such a genius? Let ’s walk into this small county together. Go to the school where he once lived and explore ... "
Looking at the man's newspaper in his hand, Jiang Chen burst out laughing when he saw half of it.
Aisha walked up to him with his coffee, gently placed it on the table, and tilted his head to look at Jiang Chen who was smirking in confusion.
"Have you encountered any good things?"
"It's true," Jiang Chen shook his head and left the newspaper aside.
As an official media, Renminbao also reflects the position of Hua Guozheng to a certain extent. These days, Renminbao has been doing its utmost to pack him into a "four good youths" who will win glory for the country from China. Although he was happy to see someone bragging in his hometown, he had to think about the deep meaning behind it.
"I hope that the United Nations Outer Space Development Summit will be on our side in a week." Jiang Chen thoughtfully picked up his coffee and sipped at his mouth.
There is no doubt that the space elevator will definitely be the focus of discussion at the UN Outer Space Summit. And what kind of vote the five gangsters will make on this issue is also an issue that the Renren Group has to pay attention to in the future.
If nothing goes wrong, China and Russia should send people to contact him privately. The United States should also send people, and Britain, which is out of Europe, should also. As for the EU side, it may hold back points. After all, the relationship between the future human group and the European Union is a bit subtle.
No matter what kind of vote the UN will make at the summit, the plan of the Star Ring Trade will not change.
On the second day after the summit, the Space Elevator will be officially opened from the offshore platform to the synchronous orbit space station-Star Circle City.
This time it is not goods but people. (To be continued.)
