Vol 2 Chapter 1027: [The accelerated ladder project]

Deng Zigang replied: "The fastest speed can reach 650 kilometers per hour."
Luo Sheng retracted his gaze and nodded. For this speed, it can't be considered fast or slow. Starting from the base of the sky tower on the surface to the "Forerunner 2" orbital space station, it will arrive in less than an hour, which is very fast.
But from the surface to the "Forerunner 1" synchronous orbit space station, the two places are separated by 36,000 kilometers. It takes more than 55 hours to travel at a speed of 650 kilometers per hour, and one round trip exceeds 110 hours, which is nearly four and a half days.
Deng Zigang added: "The high-temperature superconducting maglev technology is still expected to further increase the speed. The next research direction is to increase the speed to more than 1,000 kilometers per hour."
As the two chatted, the shuttle vehicle successfully climbed to the top of the mountain, and there had been staff waiting for it for a long time.
The people at the foot of the mountain were also relieved after learning that they had successfully climbed to the top.
Luo Sheng was very satisfied with the breakthrough achieved here. After staying at the southern peak of Taihua Mountain for about two hours, he left here after learning more about the progress of related technologies.
I have no time to admire the magnificent scenery of Taihua Mountain.
...
Luo Sheng went to the Taihua Mountain Nanfeng High Temperature Superconducting Maglev Technology Test and Research Center to investigate, and it was also reported through media organizations, including the picture of him and Deng Zigang who tried to ride a shuttle vehicle to the South Peak of Taihua Mountain. Got out.
There is no doubt that this is to let the world see the reliability of the success of this technology, and also to tell the world that the ladder project is passing day by day, and the day of success is getting closer and closer.
The implication is, don’t panic, we can win!
The ladder project is indeed a series of exciting good news coming out one after another. Today, when the news comes out, SF directly rises in respect, and continues to explode the empty square dog head.
The total nominal value has reached an integer mark of 400 trillion yuan, about 122 trillion U.S. dollars, surpassing the current global stock market value of 121 trillion U.S. dollars, creating a jaw-dropping mythical data.
In a sense, the ladder project has developed all the way and has become a common carrier of the destiny of mankind in fact.
This ladder has really become the hope of the whole village, and it is absolutely impossible.
Luo Sheng is also very aware of this, so the good news must be released continuously to maintain this fantastic "market dream rate" data.
Anyway, by today, either ascend to heaven together or ascend to heaven together.
...
Technology complex building.
At this moment, Luo Sheng is standing in front of the huge high-definition screen on the wall of his private office. The screen shows a scaled analog image of the space ladder.
The next key phase of the ladder project is the cable connection between the orbital space station and the ground tower base. At present, the space factory of the "Forerunner 2" space station is "assembling" the rope.
The process is to send the rope from top to bottom from space to the ground to complete the connection with the base of the sky tower. During this period, a dedicated lander is connected to the rope for precise placement. The height of the rope is kept synchronized with the lander.
The first rope is the "child rope", and then the core "mother rope" is placed along the track of the "child rope".
When the first "child rope" cable is successfully connected to the ground tower base, it is equal to 60% success, and the subsequent "mother rope" cable is completed equal to more than 85%.
There are a total of two main cables of the ladder, thus forming a parallel plane track. Two tracks on both sides allow the shuttle carrier to rise and fall in a single way without affecting each other.
After the first main body cable is put in, the second cable will be much easier, which is basically a matter of course.
There will be a bracket made of special new materials between the two main cables to keep the cables parallel to the cable track. Such brackets will be arranged at intervals of 1.5 kilometers. When viewed from a distance, it is a board. The ladder of the sky, the name of the ladder is also derived from this.
There are twenty-four branch tracks on the base of the sky tower on the ground, and the space shuttle vehicle will enter the corresponding branch line from the main track into the thousand-meter-high sky tower base. The same goes for the sky and sky shuttle carriers starting from the ground. Gu will also start along the branch track and enter the main track all the way to space. The entire process is coordinated by artificial intelligence to allocate transportation resources.
When the shuttle vehicle ascends all the way along the main orbit and enters outer space for more than 400 kilometers, there will be multiple branch lines at this distance. The shuttle vehicle leaves the main orbit and passes through the branch line directly to the "Forerunner 2" space station. Major branch sites.
The main orbit does not stop at the "Forerunner 2" space station, and will extend all the way to the "Forerunner 1" space station on a 36,000-kilometer synchronous orbit. This is a long journey.
A distance of more than 400 kilometers from the ground to the "Forerunner 2" space station can be reached in less than an hour, and to the "Forerunner 1" space station on a synchronous orbit, it means that there is a journey of nearly 55 hours, which is more than two hours. Days.
It is worth mentioning that the popularity of the "Forerunner 1" space station will definitely be far less than that of the "Forerunner 2".
Once the cable of the ladder is erected, it will be subjected to two forces, one is the gravity from the ground, and the other is the centrifugal force pulling the synchronous orbit into space. The cable must be sufficient to bear this tensile force without breaking. The purpose of the "Forerunner 1" space station is to stabilize the entire ladder system.
With the "Forerunner 1" space station, balance can be achieved on the synchronous orbit, ensuring that the ladder will not be dragged down by gravity.
Luo Sheng closed the simulated image of the space ladder.
Beginning this year, materials from the "Forerunner 1" space station will begin to be sent to space, relying on the existing space station 2 to enter the modular assembly core skeleton, and then use its own power system to park in synchronous orbit.
The progress of the project was faster than the team expected. This was due to the faster-than-expected recovery of the domestic economy and industry. At the same time, Luo Sheng also underestimated the contribution and influence of the space ladder to the entire industry.
The two are complementary to each other. It is no exaggeration to say that the current domestic-based global economy is recovering in the post-solar storm era, and more than 80% of it is centered on serving the sky ladder, which can be called the power of the country’s industry. Not an exaggeration.
This is a bit like when the United States announced its entry into the war during the Second World War, the domestic military industry began to flourish at full capacity. Aircraft carriers were launched at the rate of one ship a year, which can be called violent soldiers like a panic.
The Space Ladder also has the same effect, but the difference is that it is not driven by war, but because of a cosmic natural disaster that accelerates the speed of the ladder.
One of the most typical examples is the photovoltaic industry, because the space ladder just squeezed the already surplus photovoltaic industry to a serious shortage of production capacity.
Such examples are too numerous to list. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
There is no doubt that the ladder project has become the absolute main force for the "new infrastructure" to drive economic recovery in the post-solar storm era.
"Brother Luo, it's time for you to meet with the city leaders, or you will be late." Lin Ya entered the office and reminded.
"Let's go then." Luo Sheng nodded.
The ladder project is certainly the most important project, but there is still a period of time before the ladder "opens to traffic", and a series of emerging technologies derived from the ladder project can still shine in other fields. This is also another aspect of the ladder project to the entire mankind. A great contribution.
For example, the high-temperature superconducting maglev technology is of great significance to reshaping the urban traffic in the post-solar storm era. Luo Sheng decided to be a pusher, just breaking and standing.
