In the center of the sand table is a raised long black building. If you look at the ratio of the whole building on the sand table, its length has reached at least 500 kilometers! The highest point is at least 500 meters high!
The whole building starts from the westernmost point as its source point. At first it is close to the ground, and then the height of the building continues to rise until it reaches the highest point in the sea and reaches 500 meters.
The top floor of the building is arc-shaped. If you ignore the vertical main body below, you may mistake it for an extra-long pipeline that is 500 kilometers long.
Due to its super long length, many mountains and rivers will be encountered along the way, but it meets mountains and opens mountains, meets water to build bridges, nothing can stop it from moving forward.
If you follow the normal construction method, this huge building that looks like a high wall across the Republic of Mali may take decades to build!
The manpower and material resources consumed will be an astronomical figure!
Just the building materials needed by the main body of the building can consume a country!
This building is not a useless building constructed by Tang Shizhe.
It is not a cross-border railway consisting entirely of viaducts like the Xiaguo high-speed railway.
The true identity of this building is the electromagnetic launch tower of the orbiter belonging to Titan Airlines.
The pipe-like structure above the building is actually a launch pipe, a launch track that is hundreds of kilometers long!
Through this ultra-long-distance acceleration orbit, a spacecraft without a propeller can be accelerated to exceed the first cosmic speed!
It can be said that a single shot can send any object weighing no more than one hundred tons out of the atmosphere at once!
Once it can be built, it will be equipped with nearly cost-free electricity with Titan Energy's bio-energy blanket.
The cost of launching the aircraft is almost nothing every time!
The only cost is the average cost of maintaining the launcher and building the launcher!
It can be said that as long as Tang Shizhe's crazy vision can be completed, no company or country will be able to compete with Titan Airlines in the following universe!
For a long time, this idea was only an idea, because its super high cost made Tang Shizhe unable to realize it at all.
But it is different now. As long as the magic seed can be successfully put into use, the cost of building this super launcher is just a large amount of nutrient solution. Compared with the reinforced cement required for normal construction, the cost will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
As for the equipment in the launcher, the Titan Group has realized an entire industrial chain from mineral collection to equipment manufacturing. The cost of equipment is not too high!
Tang Shizhe gently stroked the model, a flash of desire flashed in his eyes.
He knew that as long as this building can be completed, no one in this world can restrain him.
And his journey will become the sea of stars!
"Fetch me the Titan Building!" Tang Shizhe directly pressed the phone next to him.
As the core department of Titan Architecture, the Architectural Design Institute is almost composed of external experts and designers.
Tang Shizhe wanted to order things to them, only through the backward way of talking.
"Have you received my idea?" After connecting to the design room, Tang Shizhe cut directly to the topic.
"Boss, we have received your idea, which... is really amazing!"
"Although there is no problem with the assumption, the cost of this building may not be affordable by any individual or the country!" A designer hesitated for a moment and said.
"I know, don't worry about its cost, I only need you to provide a detailed design drawing! Next, the technicians of Titan Airlines will communicate with you."
"Remember what I said, don't think about the cost, what I want is perfect! A perfect design!" Tang Shizhe patted the table and said solemnly to the other end of the phone.
"Understood!" the designer replied in a low voice.
"But Boss, why haven't you considered the rail elevator that is rumored on the Internet?"
"Compared to what you imagined, we think the cost of a rail elevator is much lower." The designer mustered the courage to question Tang Shizhe.
"Don't think about it! Do as I said!" Tang Shizhe hung up the phone directly.
It is not that he has not considered the orbital elevator, but although the biological carapace grown by the magic seed is very hard, the weight is not too light, but it is lighter than the alloy.
Once stacked to a certain height, its overall weight is enough to crush itself, and rail elevators are simply impossible to achieve.
What's more, if this launcher is built, it can launch a spacecraft every half an hour. The transportation volume is no worse than the rail elevator, and it is much safer than the rail elevator.
After all, if the orbital elevator is blown up in the middle, the entire elevator will completely collapse, and it will be impossible to repair it!
And this electromagnetic launcher, even if you throw a nuclear bomb up, you can only blow up a section of the launcher. After the radiation is absorbed, add this section again! Not all scrapped at all!
In contrast, ~EbookFREE.me~ electromagnetic transmitters are indeed safer and more cost-effective than rail elevators.
With Tang Shizhe's order, the researchers of Titan Aerospace quickly met with the design institute and put forward requirements to the design institute based on the various equipment required by the electromagnetic launch orbit.
The two parties started the design of the electromagnetic transmitter under close cooperation. But it will take a long time to design well.
Taking advantage of this time, the government of the Republic of Mali began to help the Titan Group expropriate land locally.
A piece of land starting from West End, more than 500 kilometers long and more than 100 kilometers wide, extending into the sea in the Republic of Mali, was sold to Titan Airlines at an ultra-low price of $1 billion.
All villages and towns along the way have been relocated 50 kilometers away, and more than 20 large military bases will be built in this area to protect the safety of future launchers.
In addition, the launcher's radius of 50 kilometers is designated as a no-fly zone, and no aircraft is allowed to enter, including drones!
To this end, Tang Shizhe even started to build more than fifty drone honeycombs along the way.
Each drone hive will be able to accommodate more than five hummingbird drones!
Any aircraft entering the no-fly zone will be intercepted and destroyed by these hummingbird drones!
A few days later, all the test data on the magic seed have been released, and all the practical tests of the magic seed passed!
This epoch-making biological building is about to be put into use, Tang Shizhe can already foresee that the world's construction market will be upended by himself!
at the same time.
A brand new department was established within Black Mask International: the Space Army.
The electromagnetic launcher can launch materials into space at high speed, high efficiency and low cost, which means that Tang Shizhe can deploy troops to space at a very low cost!
