Before he could finish watching Luo Jia's weekly live broadcast, Musk ran to the airport in a hurry, took his Gulfstream G650 private plane, and rushed directly to the White House.

People are still on the way, and Musk received news that Shurakel of the Semiconductor Alliance, Mason of Oak Ridge Laboratory, Jerryn of Bell Laboratory and others were all on the road at the first time. It seems that North American scientists are not confused and know that this is the rhythm of something big is going to happen.

The president also gave Musk a lot of face and sent a special car to greet him, bringing Musk directly from the airport to the White House.

After all, the president is a politician. No one in the scientific community likes politicians. Although everyone is respectful on the surface, it is just for the sake of power and money. Musk is the liaison officer of the authorities, coordinating cooperation between the authorities and major scientific research institutions, and is a liaison hub between the authorities and those bad-tempered scientists. For many things, the president also relies on Musk's genius identity.

"No way? Luo Jia himself said that he wanted to pull up a rope between Station Zero and the Earth's equator. Why did it become a space elevator when you get to you?" The president said in confusion after hearing Musk's anxious language. In his understanding, ropes and elevators are not the same.

"President, do you actually believe Luo Jia's words?" Musk said in tears: "How did he cheat Google back then? Also, he deliberately leaked the structure of the Carmen vortex power generation array, but did not tell us that only carbon fiber materials with a strength of more than 6,500 can withstand the violent vibrations, which caused us to lose a lot of money during the imitation process and even cost dozens of lives. He did all these cheating things! If he could tell the truth, there would be ghosts!"

Seeing Musk’s emotions excited, the president said in surprise: “Can they be their publicity for nanomaterials? If this rope successfully arrives from the synchronous orbit, but it is still unharmed, it is enough to prove that Xingchen Technology’s new materials have extremely powerful performance. In this way, they can make efforts in the construction and clothing fields and occupy a huge market share.”

The famous Star Technology Group is competing for market share in the clothing field?

Musk suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness when he looked at the president with his blond hair and his confident eyes.

...

Luo Jia's live broadcast ended on time, but the plan to establish a space elevator has just begun. The whole company was so excited that it couldn't sleep at night, waiting for the latest news on the direction of Weigu Island.

When the javelin dragging the rope appeared over the equatorial sea, it was already the next morning, like a black line quickly approaching the horizon. After a whole night of flight, the rope set off from the synchronous orbit, passed through the atmosphere, and finally arrived at the earth.

The rear of the titanium alloy javelin is unfolded like a small parachute, using air resistance to reduce speed.

The space rope made of a mixed braid of carbon nanotubes and graphene nanotubes withstood the test and did not break. With a bang, the titanium alloy counterweight javelin fell into the water, and the falling rope continued to fall from the sky.

The location where this scene happened was far away from people and was in the depths of the Pacific Ocean. Otherwise, if it were witnessed by the islanders living nearby, it might have been regarded as a miracle. After all, a large piece of rope fell from the sky, stretching for more than 30,000 kilometers, which was really beyond imagination.

Military personnel who had been waiting in the nearby waters rushed up immediately, manipulated the submersible machinery, and salvaged the ropes.

Rope No. 1 is not under stress now, and its length is far more than 36,000 kilometers. After all, it is only one quarter of the thickness of a human little finger. Even if it is made of advanced nanotube materials, it is impossible to hold on to the distant and huge Station No. 1. The real purpose of Rope No. 1 is actually just towing.

After the diving machinery grabbed the rope, the staff quickly fixed it deep in the center of Weigu Island. Then the engineers installed an ultrasonic traction motor on the No. 1 rope. Behind the traction motor was the No. 2 rope.

"start!"

With the command of the on-site commander Cao Yuan, the ultrasonic motor began to accelerate and climb into space. He followed the No. 1 rope and sent the No. 2 rope to the synchronous orbit. After the robot construction team waiting at the No. 1 space station got the No. 2 rope, it will fix it 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 thing, you can turn 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 large enough, an amazing pulling force can be generated, tightly tying the space station and the Earth, like pulling a thin line of a kite.

...

"We will work with the joint research results of the intelligence department, science department, and space department. We have confirmed that the thing that Xingchen Technology has built on Weigu Island is a space elevator." Musk said this in a heavy voice in the conference room.

"Space elevator!?"

“Space elevators shouldn’t be solid buildings? Why are there many, many soft ropes?”

The generals and ministers raised many questions, and Musk could only smile bitterly and said: "The solid space elevator is the Tower of Babel in the Bible, and the Chinese people do not believe in God. They built a tower of science, set up soft nanotube ropes, and then use the rotation of the earth to bind Station Zero to the earth like flying a kite."

"I guess it won't take long to get enough nanopipes, maybe one thousand, maybe five thousand. I don't know what it is, but I know that so many high-strength nanopipes are enough to support a space elevator with a load capacity of dozens of tons or even hundreds of tons."

Loading capacity of hundreds of tons!?

Everyone was shocked and couldn't speak. The speed of the space elevator is not necessarily very fast. The speed of the rocket entering space can exceed the first cosmic speed. The space elevator is boosted by using a motor, and its speed is definitely not as fast as the rocket.

But the key is the cost. Space elevators use electricity, and electricity is almost completely free for China, which has Carmen vortex power generation technology!

"What's even more terrifying is that space elevators can not only deliver goods to space at near-non-existent costs, but also transport cargo from space back to Earth." Musk said in a deep voice: "If the minerals on the earth are like a grain of sand, then the minerals in the universe are like an endless sea."

"Once space elevators are established, space mining can develop, like Australia and Canada, where they are vast and sparsely populated, and they start by selling resources, will first be affected and quickly fall into poverty from developed countries."

"Of course, the impact of space elevators on the world is definitely not only that. As we all know, there are a large number of Helium 3 stored on the moon. The synchronous orbit station is called Project Zero, and the space elevator is called Project One. I think the next project Two of Star Technology should be the lunar base."

There was another silence in the conference room, and everyone felt that things were really big.

"Damn it, I really want to use the Tomahawk missile to knock down the space elevator in China!" A bald general had a fierce light in his eyes and clenched his fists tightly.

Although more than one person was thinking about blowing up the space elevator of Xingchen Technology, anyone knows that it is impossible because China has a nuclear country.
Chapter completed!
