Although reading and writing are called elevators, the base of this elevator is much wider than that of ordinary tall buildings.
However, even so, the length of more than 30,000 kilometers makes the vertically suspended elevator look slender like a noodle.
Taking a warship of Star Ring Trade, Jiang Chen boarded the sea base station of the space elevator.
Not long after he left the port, the group walked towards him.
We succeeded!
When Jiang Chen returned to reality and saw Kerwin's first face, this arrogant middle-aged old man was as excited as a child, holding his hand.
On the contrary, Jiang Chen seemed more stable.Compared to the excitement of witnessing the birth of a wonder and the excitement of leaving a name for history, he felt more relieved of getting what he wanted and a distant future.
Yes, we succeeded.
After letting go of Kelwin's hand, Jiang Chen looked up at the space elevator, and suddenly looked at the technical director standing next to Kelwin and asked.
If I want to engrave a line of words on the bottom of the space elevator, which pen is better?
The technical director was stunned for a moment, then said, "A laser welding gun is fine."
Help me get a laser welding gun.
Although I don’t know what the chairman is paying attention, the technical director still winked at the engineer next to him.
Soon, a laser welding torch weighing five or six pounds was handed over to Jiang Chen.
After taking it, Jiang Chen took it and weighed it in his hand. He was amazed by the technical director Kerrwen who was standing next to him.
The chairman's strength in his hand was much greater than it seemed to be able to hold the five or six pounds of welding gun in his hand.
Walking to the space elevator, Jiang Chen pressed the switch of the welding gun, and used the spear head that emitted a dazzling white light to carve a line of square simplified Chinese characters on the titanium alloy shell of the base of the space elevator.
Two steps back, Jiang Chen looked at the lines of words he had carved and nodded with satisfaction.
I know we can solve the next problem because we have solved all the problems that have occurred before.Kerwin, who had already learned Chinese, frowned and said that sentence over the years, looked at Jiang Chen and asked, "Is there any deep meaning in this sentence?"
It's nothing, it's just a souvenir.Jiang Chen laughed, turned off the power supply of the welding gun, threw the welding gun back into the engineer's arms, let's go and take me to see the elevator.
Walking into the space elevator, Jiang Chen appreciated the entire space elevator track and its operating mechanism through the engineering holographic concept map displayed by Kerwin.
There are six passenger tracks in total, three of which pass upwards and the other three pass downwards. The track will be replaced after the carriage arrives at the terminal.
Because of the single-track unidirectional pass design, multiple concourses can be operated at the same time on one track.
It can be foreseen that in the not-far future, aerospace activities will inevitably be quite frequent.
People take space elevators to the outer space, and will even be as convenient as we are now taking the high-speed rail.
This design is also a plan to prepare for the future congestion of rail transit in the future.
After the visit, Jiang Chen directly enjoyed lunch with the high-rise buildings of the space launch center, including Kerwin, in the canteen on the sea platform.
At the dinner table, Jiang Chen asked Kerrwin about the progress of the asteroid capture plan.
The work of logging in and weaving the net went very smoothly, but the progress of the track change work was slower than expected.Kerrwin put down the fork in his hand and said with a puzzled look. Although the supercomputer center has accurately calculated the asteroid's orbit, there are still certain difficulties in how to ensure the velocity and orbit of the asteroid at the same time with current technical means.Every acceleration of the traction rocket is very critical, and even if it is a wrong step, it must be recalculated.
But Benu asteroid leaves us with little time. In mid-Janu, the asteroid will be further and further away from us.If you want to catch it again, you have to wait six years later.The project leader of the asteroid capture program sitting next to Kerwin interjected.
There will be so many difficulties that Jiang Chen expects.
He could bring back technical data from the end of the world that was far beyond the times, but he could not help these scientists and technicians digest these epoch-making technologies.
Even in the 22nd century, asteroid mining was a cutting-edge discipline.
Deploy explosives on the asteroid to ensure that if it suddenly gets out of control, we can at least blow it up outside the atmosphere.
We're already doing it.Kerrwin said seriously that we deployed 25 tons of TNT equivalent explosives on the Benu asteroid.If there is a mistake in the orbit change, the remaining fuel of the rocket thruster is not enough to escape the capture of the Earth's gravity, and we can detonate it into meteorite fragments as it approaches the dispersion layer.
After lunch, Jiang Chen arrived at the space launch center by boat with Kerrwin.
The launch site originally used to launch rockets has been idle after the completion of the space elevator.
The transport ships between the earth and the moon have been designed and have now entered the experimental stage.
Currently, supply is sent to the lunar colony, and the second-stage rocket of Star Ring 4 is directly sent to the synchronous orbit through a space elevator, and then accelerate into the Earth-Moon transfer orbit.
The cost of traveling to and from the moon was cut by 60% due to the direct saving of first-stage rockets and fuel pushed to outer space.
Star Ring Trade is studying the feasibility of expanding the scale of the moon's colonies. If the plan is finally implemented, Star Ring Trade will send another 100 colonists to the moon.
Just as Jiang Chen finished inspecting the situation at the lunar colonial base, a phone call came to his watch.
After clicking on the watch and answering the phone, Jiang Shuying's voice immediately appeared in Jiang Chen's ears.
Our guests arrived.
oh?Are you a guest from China or Russia?Or, from Washington.Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
It is a guest from China.They have already gotten off the plane at the Koro City Airport, and the Minister of Commerce and Foreign Affairs have already gone to pick it up.The other party’s purpose is very clear, and I hope to talk to us about the space elevator.
Jiang Chen clicked on the holographic screen and looked at the time. It was already past five o'clock.
Since they are coming from afar, let them take a day off first.By the way, have they contacted their place to live?
They have booked a room at the Hilton Hotel in the Heart of the Ocean and are now on their way to the hotel.Jiang Shuying replied.
Then let's do it first.
After saying that, Jiang Chen hung up the phone and turned his eyes to Kerwin.
Has the nuclear fusion generator set been sent to the lunar colony?
Yes, in the newly built power station, one of the nuclear fusion generators has been put into use to replace solar power to power the lunar colonies.In order to meet the needs of nuclear power plants, we need to build a heavy water plant to produce deuterium needed for fusion reactions.
There is no rush in advance, I need you to prepare a report to deliver it to me before tomorrow afternoon.
Report?What report?Kerwin looked at Jiang Chen in confusion.
Regarding the transportation costs of space elevators, I need you and your team to make precise assessments.We will use tomorrow's negotiations.
