Chapter 497: Construction in progress

Before watching Luo Jia's weekly regular live broadcast, Musk burned his ass, ran to the airport in a hurry, took his Gulfstream G650 private jet, and rushed directly to the White House.
People are still on the road, Musk got the news, the semiconductor alliance's Shuraker, Oak Ridge Labs' Mason, Bell Labs's Jerryn, and others have all been on the road for the first time. It seems that North American scientists are not confused. Know that this is the rhythm of something big.
The President also gave Musk a face, sent a special car to greet him, and brought Musk directly from the airport to the White House.
After all, the president is a politician. No one in the scientific world likes politicians. Do n’t look at everyone. They are respectful. It ’s just about power and money. Musk is the liaison of the authorities and coordinates the cooperation between the authorities and major scientific research institutions. It is the liaison between the authorities and those temperamental scientists. For many things, the President also relies on Musk's genius.
"No, right? Luo Jia said that he would pull up a rope between station zero and the Earth's equator. How did he get to you to become a space elevator?" After the President heard Musk's eager language, Inexplicably, in his understanding, ropes and elevators are not the same thing.
"Master, do you actually believe what Luo Jia said!" Musk cried without tears: "How did he kill Google that year? Also, he deliberately leaked the structure of the Carmen Vortex Street Power Array without telling him Only when we have a carbon fiber material with a strength of more than 6,500, can we withstand severe vibrations, which leads us to lose a lot of money in the imitation process, and also score dozens of lives. He did it! If he can tell the truth, then there is a ghost! "
Seeing Musk's excitement, the president suddenly said: "Will it be their propaganda for nanomaterials? If this rope successfully reaches the earth from the synchronous orbit, but it is still intact, it is enough to prove that the new material of Star Technology has extremely Strong performance, so that they can work hard in the construction and clothing fields and occupy a huge market share. "
The famous Star Technology Group, competing for market share in the clothing field?
Musk looked at an adult president with open blond hair, and his confident eyes suddenly felt a deep sense of weakness.
...
Luo Jia's live broadcast ended on time. However, the plan to build a space elevator has just begun. The whole company has been up and down, excited nights can't sleep, waiting for the latest news in the direction of Weigu Island.
When the javelin dragging the rope appeared over the equatorial waters, it was already the next morning. It was like a black line approaching the sky quickly. After a full night flight, the rope started from the synchronous orbit, passed through the atmosphere, and finally arrived. Earth.

The rear of the titanium javelin is like a small parachute that uses air resistance to reduce speed.
The space rope made by mixing carbon nanotubes and graphene nanotubes has withstood the test without breaking. With a bang, the titanium alloy weight javelin fell into the water, and the rope that followed the fall continued to fall from the sky.
The place where this scene took place was far away from the crowds, deep in the Pacific Ocean. Otherwise, if it was witnessed by the islanders living nearby, it would be regarded as a miracle. After all, a large reel fell from the sky, which lasted more than 30,000. Kilometres continue, this kind of thing is beyond imagination.
Military personnel who had been waiting in the nearby waters immediately rushed up, manipulated the diving machinery, and salvaged the ropes.
The No. 1 rope is not under stress now, and its length is far more than 36,000 kilometers. After all, it is only a quarter of the thickness of the human pinky. Even if it uses advanced nanotube materials, it is impossible to hold the distant and huge In station zero, the real purpose of rope one is actually just towing.
After the diving machine grabbed the rope, the staff quickly fixed it deep in the heart of Weigu Island. Then the engineers installed an ultrasonic traction motor on the No. 1 rope. Behind this traction motor, it was the No. 2 rope. .
"Start!"
With the command of Cao Yuan at the scene, the ultrasonic motor began to accelerate, climbed into space, sent the second rope to the synchronous orbit along the first rope, and the robot construction team waiting at the zero space station got the second rope. Later, it will be fixed at the bottom of the space station.
At this time, there are two ropes connecting the earth and station zero. Continue to do the same. You can turn the two ropes into four, four into eight, eight into sixteen, and sixteen into Thirty-two.
When the number of nano-pipes connecting the earth and station zero is enough, it can produce an amazing pulling force, tightly binding the space station to the earth, like a thin line that pulls a kite.
...
"Joint research results with the intelligence department, the science department, and the space department, we have confirmed that the thing that Star Technology established on Weigu Island is a space elevator." Musk said in a heavy voice in the conference room. These words.
"Space elevator !?"
"Shouldn't a space elevator be a sturdy building? Why are there many, many soft ropes?"
The generals and ministers raised many questions. In this regard, Musk could only smile with a bitter smile: "The sturdy space elevator, which is the tower of Babel in the Bible, and the Huaxia people do not believe in God. They build a science Tower, set up soft nano-line ropes, and then use the rotation of the earth to bind station zero to the earth like a kite. "
"I don't think it will be long before they will get a sufficient number of nanopipelines, maybe one thousand, maybe five thousand. I don't know the specifics, but I know that so many high-strength nanopipelines add up to support one. Space elevators with a payload of tens of tons or even hundreds of tons are in operation. "
Load of hundreds of tons! ?
Everyone was shocked to say nothing. The speed of the space elevator was not much faster. The speed of the rocket entering space can exceed the speed of the first universe. The space elevator is boosted by electric motors, and the speed is definitely no better than the rocket.
But the key is cost. The space elevator uses electricity, and electricity is almost completely free for Huaxia, which has Carmen Vortex power generation technology!
"What's more frightening is that the space elevator can not only transport goods to space at a cost that is non-existent, but also transport goods in space back to the earth." Musk Shensheng said, "If the minerals on the earth are like a grain of sand , Then the minerals in the universe are like the boundless sea. "
"Once the space elevator is established ~ EbookFREE.me ~ space mining has developed, like Australia and Canada, the existence of a wide population and scarce population, and the existence of a resource-based business, will first be affected, and quickly fall into poverty from developed countries. "
"Of course, the impact of the space elevator on the world is certainly more than that. As we all know, a large amount of helium is stored on the moon. The synchronous orbital station is called Project Zero, and the space elevator is called Project 1. I think the next two Project No. should be the lunar base. "
There was another silence in the conference room, and everyone felt that things were really big.
"Damn, I really want to use the Tomahawk missile to hit Huaxia's space elevator!" A bald general, his eyes glowed fiercely, and his fists clenched.
Although more than one person thought in their hearts to blow up the space elevator of Xingchen Technology, anyone knows that it is impossible because Huaxia is a nuclear country.
I should thank those seniors who created a miracle of two bombs and one star in the difficult years. Look at the attitude of North America today to open up its teeth and claw, and it is not difficult to imagine that if China is not a nuclear country, it is in the present situation. Definitely more difficult.
