Moreover, the cost of this battleship will gradually decrease as the production capacity of the industrial assembly line continues to increase, and the cost of construction will only be lower than this.
The value of a 36,000-kilometer carbon nanotube cable alone has reached more than two trillion yuan, not including the research industry that used funds to smash carbon nanotubes in the early stage, allowing its production capacity to make breakthroughs and develop large-scale industries The cost of assembly line production of carbon nanotubes.
During the construction of the space elevator, there is no output at all. It is a huge infrastructure that requires a one-time investment. It takes no idea how many years to cover the investment deficit. We don’t even know about the space elevator. Can it cover its operating cost?
In the connection between the earth, at the current stage, a third-generation ion engine breaks through the atmosphere, and then it is enough to use an electromagnetic propulsion engine to move in space.
Only when the space economy has developed to a sufficient level and a large-scale trading system needs to be established with the earth, will there be a large capacity project as expensive as a space elevator.
Only when groups like cities have developed to a sufficiently developed level can high-speed rail become economical. Cars cannot replace the huge capacity of high-speed rail, but cars are definitely cheaper than high-speed rail.
In addition, there is no high-speed rail in Aramco. In the foreseeable future, the intercontinental high-speed rail will not be economically viable. Therefore, a space elevator that is worse than the high-speed rail economy is even more impractical.
And not to mention technical difficulty and zero fault tolerance, maintenance alone will drive all engineering staff crazy.
At least 36,000 kilometers of cable, even if the future carbon nanotube material has been a breakthrough, what about the later maintenance?
Such a cable absolutely does not allow any slightest problem to occur, but hundreds of thousands of meteorites fall to the earth every day. Most of the meteorites are cremated in the atmosphere, but the space elevator breaks through the atmosphere.
Moreover, any meteorite has a speed above Mach 32. As long as the cable touches it, it will be over. Then the broken cable will trigger a catastrophe that will spread to the world.
Hearing this, Ye Fan also touched his chin and fell into contemplation.
The origin concerns are not completely unreasonable. The capital investment required for this is really terrifying, reaching an unimaginable astronomical amount.
But as long as the funding problem is solved, the remaining problems can be solved easily.
Regardless of the 36 million tons and 180 space battleships, the figures are very bluffing, but in fact this production capacity is not much, which is the current production capacity of Datang Heavy Industry in one month.
The domestic steel production capacity alone has exceeded 10 trillion tons, not including the world's steel production capacity.
Not to mention Datang Heavy Industries, the mines, steel plants, and chemical plants are slightly larger, and the weight of equipment and plants are calculated in 10,000 tons.
In 2001, Shagang moved to a steel plant in Europe. The total amount of equipment has reached 250,000 tons, and the entire Datang Heavy Industry has more than 1,000 equipment of this tonnage.
Why did Ye Fan spend such a high price to build a space elevator? To put it bluntly, the space age wants to build roads before getting rich. Odd book
"Actually, Master, you could have done a lot of things with the money. There is no need to invest in this huge project. You can make two space battleships ascend into space.
Equipped with relevant machinery and equipment to build a large-scale unmanned factory on a synchronous track. In terms of intelligent robots, our accumulated experience during this period
It has far surpassed everyone, and even smart robots can handle the project of smelting steel, because it does not require precise work capabilities like some projects.
At this time, use the floating cities that will subsequently rise to space to set up related industry chains and build up the first batch of space fleets.
Spreading our footprints across the entire solar system will cost no more than three trillion yuan. When all the relevant technologies and industrial chains of the space age are full, the cost of building space elevators will also continue. reduce. "
"Under the conditions of the current stage, the space elevator is already considered a luxury item, even if humanity may have an upcoming crisis in the future, if this crisis may be advanced,
We can also use the space fleet to be developed in the future to allow a small number of people to flee, so that the human fire can continue instead of being perished in the solar system, no matter what the choice is,
The priority is much higher than that of the space elevator. It is not that the space elevator cannot be built, but at the current stage, it is not necessary to be the first to build it. Please consider the stakes of the owner. "
Origin's voice is very sincere. It is entirely traveling as an assistant, trying to help Ye Fan ask questions.
In general, companies and management teams will hire professionals as their own think tanks to avoid losses to themselves or the company due to their own mistakes in judgment.
Ye Fan has never hired any intelligent group members, but he was still able to make the correct decision time and time again. There is no other reason, just because there is origin in the rear to make suggestions.
In many things, Origin can use its powerful computing power to make judgments on related matters and give some priority reports to determine whether this matter can be done in the current period or when it will be done. .
So even in the eyes of others, it is a loss-making business, such as donating 180 billion to the 18 universities on the sanctions list, or directly investing 200 billion to build the world's largest particle collider, etc. .
When making some important decisions, ~EbookFREE.me~, it is indispensable to let Origin conduct relevant data analysis.
If the result is good, then invest, if the result is not good, or the priority is low, it will be listed in the following schedule and plan later.
And this time the space elevator was directly opposed by Origin.
"At the current stage, although it is not suitable for building space elevators, to be honest, the only problem that bothers us is funding. If funding is sufficient,
We can fully develop what you call a huge acquisition fleet, or build space elevators. This is a solution that has the best of both worlds. "
"Master, but from the current situation, we don't have such sufficient funds." Origin replied, showing two question marks in the glasses.
