Chapter 1588: The towering sky is rising

Remember in one second 【】
At an altitude of 36,000 kilometers, a astronomical observation space station is because a man in a white work shirt is standing in front of a thick porthole glass, and looks out at the deep starry sky.
There, more than ten towering starships were parked.
With a thick and long robotic arm stacking the reinforcing steel skeletons to the correct position, engineering drones stopped from the cabin and tangled the magnificent outline like a firefly, and followed that up and down. The trajectory of fluttering flickered with faint but ignorable electric sparks.
The space segment of the entire space elevator is taking shape at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.
Doing a space station every hour will take a high-resolution photo of that space station, picking two photos together, you can obviously feel the difference between each other.
"It seems they are real."
The man who said this, called Field, was a mission observer who was recently sent here by the North American Space Agency.
Since this is the closest synchronous orbiting space station in North America to the space elevator construction site, as early as a week ago, the scientific mission here has changed from observing distant stars to observing Asian sites.
"Otherwise? Even if it depends on the trillions of budgets, they don't make sense of it."
Walking to Field, Johnny handed him a bag of coffee.
"Would you like some coffee?"
"Thank you."
Taking the coffee bag from Johnny's hand, Field pulled the plastic straw from the bag, biting the straw and taking a hard sip.
Glancing at the construction site outside the porthole, Johnny said in a chatty tone.
"Speaking of which, you are a professional in space engineering."
"Yes, I worked for spacex for a while before joining NASA."
"Really? From a professional perspective, at what stage do you think their construction site has reached?"
Looking at the starry sky outside the porthole, Field thought for a moment and then gave an answer.
"Just inferring from experience, they probably are still building the main beam of the space station."
Hearing this, Johnny's eyebrows were raised and he glanced at him unexpectedly.
"Such a big girder?"
Although his major is not aerospace engineering, he has worked on this observing space station for so many years, and he is relatively familiar with his working environment.
At least in his impression, he had never heard of which space station would repair such a long main beam.
In order to keep the center of gravity relatively stable on the orbit, most space stations will be designed in a flat shape to shorten the length in the axial direction of gravity as much as possible.
"That's right ..." Obviously this was also thought of, and Field, a professional, nodded solemnly and continued, "From the length of the main beam, the volume of this space station is at least two Times more. "
Otherwise, you don't need such an exaggerated main beam.
And not only that, there is one word he did not say, but he has planned to write it on the observation report.
What surprised him most was not the length of the main beam, but the position of the entire main beam relative to the outline of the space elevator.
After working for so many years, I have seen a lot of space stations, but he was the first time to see such a strange design.
Although he hadn't seen the drawings of the space section of the space elevator, his intuition told him that those Pan-Asian people might be building something extraordinary.
"Gyro space station?"
"Don't ... they plan to balance the mass change of the space elevator with the centrifugal movement, and resist the gravity to pull the center of gravity?"
The pupil contracted slightly, and his mouth murmured softly.
"……how can that be."
It is almost impossible to do such a thing. A series of effects, including the load of the space elevator's cargo compartment, the speed of movement, solar wind, atmospheric air flow, etc., may cause the center of gravity of the space elevator to change.
This tests not only the information processing ability, but also the strength of the materials and the ability to control the machine.
If they can really do it ...
It can only be said that this is too strange.
...
Just as Field and the North American Space Agency were dazzled by the large construction site of the space elevator, the raging waves were rolling at sea level below 36,000 kilometers.
Just a few hours ago, there was a heavy rain in this area, but the blustery wind did not cool the hearts.
Above the roaring waves, there are more than twenty 100,000-ton-class engineering ships, and looking up from a distance is like a floating fortress.
Each of them is designed for the construction of large ports with a throughput of more than one billion tons, but now they are all far away from their familiar coastline and come to this endless sea level.
This time, their mission was not just to build a port, but to build a steel island here and build a city on the island.
Holding the telescope in his hand and looking at the distant Haiping line, the chief engineer of East Asia Heavy Industry's mouth evoked a smile, and said with pride.
"If this project is successfully delivered, it will be a milestone in the history of human engineering!"
Standing next to him, the other

An academician-level expert from East Asia Heavy Industry Group, Haha said with a smile.
"Do you still say that? The whole space elevator goes from an altitude of more than 36,000 kilometers to our feet, which inch structure is not a miracle in human history!"
In theory, the space elevator should be built from the sky, but Academician Lu gave a completely different proposal.
That is, the air-space section and the sea-level section are constructed simultaneously. And after the completion of the two parts of the project, the part of the sky and space began to advance to the ground, connecting the synchronous orbit and the sea level like a sword into a sheath.
After this proposal was put forward, it was immediately adopted. East Asia Heavy Industries' engineering ships also emerged from the nest. Almost all the capacity deployed at sea level was concentrated in this area.
At this time, a staff member trot into the bridge, stopped next to Chief Engineer Wang, and said excitedly.
"All the engineering ships have reached the target area! Mr. Wang, are we now planning on the next step!"
The smile on his face grew brighter.
Putting down the telescope in his hand, Chief Engineer Wang's face was slightly adjusted, and he said with a strong voice.
"All engineering ships are prepared--"
"Anchor!"
As a chain of iron hit the bottom of the sea, the disturbed schools of fish scattered and fled.
With the rumbling of the engine, heavy engineering equipment began to work at sea level.
From the sky to the sea level, from this moment on, the industrial machine entangled on the ground called Pan-Asian Cooperation was thoroughly mobilized, emitting a roar that people have never heard in this century.
It was a uniform voice when a group was determined to do something.
The sound was not transmitted through the air, but it sounded through everyone's heart.
At this moment, its industrial capabilities have reached its limit, even breaking through the margins of people's imagination, and turning the impossible into possible.
Perhaps, as in the triumphal ceremony, a great man who was destined to leave a name in history announced to them.
They are people who are favored.
They bear the future of human civilization and the community of human destiny.
At the same time, this is exactly the "fate" of the ancestors inscribed in their cultural blood.
When the construction of the space elevator was in full swing, and when people's enthusiasm was completely ignited by iron and electricity, the academic world was also brewing an exciting storm.
In the third week after the Fire Day celebration, Lu Zhou suddenly published a public proposition on lspm, and made a solemn promise at the end of the proposition.
If someone can solve the proposition he put forward, or make enough outstanding achievements in this field, UU reading www.uukanshu.com he will personally present him the Luzhou Science Award.
It is up to you to award awards named after yourself.
Although this sentence sounds weird, and even has some suspicions of boasting, but no one feels that there is anything wrong with it.
even……
The enthusiasm of all scholars, whether in the mathematical or physical world, has been ignited.
The Luzhou Science Award, which was personally awarded by Lu Zhou, has never been so honored in history.
In the face of this honor, even the huge bonus was overshadowed.
He was, after all, Lu Zhou.
The man who is said to be standing on the pinnacle of human mind ...
When the news spread, the entire academic community was crazy about it ...
Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a pleasant reading! ^ 0 ^
