Overseas officially announced the specific time for the moon landing, which caused heated discussions internationally. At the same time, it also caused considerable pressure on the domestic aerospace industry.

After the space agency submitted its application for a report on the space elevator project, the higher authorities naturally took it very seriously.

Therefore, Xu Lei also received calls from Mr. Qin and Yu Hongliang.

After determining the feasibility of the space elevator, senior officials did not deliberately delay the development.

The decision was made quickly.

The space agency temporarily suspended its original lunar exploration project and fully cooperated with future technology to build a space elevator project.

For the space elevator and the future lunar base, Future Technology owns half of the ownership. It can be said that it is the first time in the entire history of development that such a cooperation model can emerge on such a project.

This is enough to prove the importance attached to the space elevator.

But it has to be said that Marsne’s Space Exploration Technology Company and Overseas Space Administration played a big role in making the space elevator project a reality.

After all, if they hadn't pressed hard, the space elevator project would never have been achieved so easily.

It is also worth mentioning that considering that the current domestic public is not too emotional about Bei Magnesium's resumption of moon landings, and it is not easy to carry out such a large project as a space elevator in secret, so after discussions between the two parties, it was decided to announce it to the public.

Don't give overseas a chance to shine.

…

Monday, October 27, 2025.

Today is definitely a memorable day for everyone in the country.

Because it is a turning point in the development of domestic aerospace industry.

No one expected that just a few days after the overseas announcement of the moon landing plan, a similar announcement was made domestically.

And it is also a joint venture between the space agency and Future Technology.

The announcement clearly states that the two parties will build a domestic space elevator to meet the construction needs of the lunar base and future space port. The expected construction time is one year.

It is no exaggeration to say that when this news was announced, the chain reaction caused was no less than that of losing the king at the beginning of Landlord.

Almost instantly everyone was excited.

Even a simple manned landing on the moon would not have such a big effect.

In the final analysis.

Just because the space elevator is an unprecedented super project.

So far, no country has invested in construction.

Even a company called Neon, which has been researching space elevators for many years, is only in the theoretical stage.

Also, space elevator is not such an unfamiliar term.

In addition to many people's fantasy, similar settings can also be seen in science fiction movies. Now that ideals are about to become reality, how can they not be excited?

If the key space elevator can be built, the cost of entering space will drop significantly.

Maybe elevator tickets will be opened in the future, allowing ordinary people to enter the space station or even the moon base to look at the wrong planet where they were born.

This kind of visual impact cannot be replaced by anything.

certainly.

Wherever there is praise, there will be doubts.

As a product of fantasy, the space elevator suddenly appears in the real world, and it feels unreal no matter how you look at it.

Especially if it was completed in only one year, it is simply a fantasy.

Even though China News Service's People's Daily and even the evening news broadcast had extensive coverage, there were still many people who thought it was impossible to do it.

So much so that the comments in the comment area of ​​the relevant content video are very polarizing.

All major communication groups are also discussing this matter.

"I am only twenty years old this year, but I feel like I am almost out of step with the times. Is the space elevator really something I can see now?"

"This is not just about building a rocket. How can we build a space elevator in just one year?"

"It feels like we are a little impatient. Even if overseas countries are determined to obtain lunar resources, we should not use such an immature planning plan. If the final experiment fails, there will be no end."

"It is more reliable to focus on the development of heavy-duty launch vehicles. A space elevator is impossible to achieve."

"You should shut up quickly. The engineers and experts in our space agency don't know better than you. How could they announce it to the public if there is really no hope?"

"Look carefully, the space elevator is a collaboration between the space agency and Future Technology. It is estimated that Future Technology has conquered some important core technology, so that the space elevator can be successfully built."

"I just want to know if tickets will be sold then. If you really need the elevator, it would be fun to go up there and take a look."

"In short, one year is too long. If you don't believe it, let's take a look at it then."

…

Because the concept of a space elevator was so advanced, no one thought it could be built one day. This caused related news to spread quickly on overseas networks and caused widespread coverage in Western media.

But most of them are overtly sarcastic, believing that future technology will only slap themselves in the face.

However, due to the influence of future technology and the lessons learned from the past as the new commander-in-chief, Tripp certainly did not dare to make any excuses.

After learning that Yanfang was going all out to build a space elevator, he immediately called in the head of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Hayden, and Space Exploration Technology Chairman Masen.

Discuss the matter of the space elevator to determine whether it will affect them.

——

"You all know the situation. What do you think about Yanfang abandoning traditional launch vehicles to build a space elevator?" In the Consul General's office, Tripp looked at the two people and asked calmly: "If you have any ideas, just tell me."

As the primary person in charge of the moon landing project, it was Hayden who finally spoke first when faced with such a question.

"Report to the Chief."

"According to our investigation, neither the other party's space agency nor the Future Technology Company has conducted technical research on space elevators before."

"Theoretically, there are no construction conditions at all."

"It's very possible that they sought medical treatment in a hurry and wanted to surpass us in the progress of landing on the moon as soon as possible, so they rashly chose a new direction."

Hayden's answer is undoubtedly very rigorous. After all, the birth of a project never happens overnight.

There must be a research process.

Only when the feasibility of all aspects is determined will the project be officially approved.

What's more, it's a super project like the sky elevator.

There is only one truth to this fact, and that is that Future Technology wanted to take the lead in the moon landing project, so it rashly announced such a project with slightly higher expectations.

But in the end, the project often ends up being unfinished.

Not even half of the money invested can be recovered.

The person most angry at Xu Lei and Future Technology in the field must still be Masen.

As the world's richest man, he was often active in reports in major media magazines. However, due to the advent of metal all-solid-state batteries and Xingyuan Automobile, Tesla Motors in his hands gradually declined, and today it is almost bankrupt.

He chose to run the Space Exploration Technology Company wholeheartedly, largely because he wanted to prove himself through this company and then take revenge on Future Technology and Xu Lei.

With such a good opportunity now in front of him, he must seize it firmly.

So as soon as Hayden finished speaking, he took over the conversation and said: "Actually, I am very familiar with Xu Lei, the president of Future Technology, and I know what kind of person he is."

"Judging from the products released by Future Technology these past few times, Xu Lei really likes to take on difficult challenges."

"That's why we chose the space elevator with more advantages."

"But this decision just fulfilled us." Masen paused for a moment and allowed Tripp to digest it for a moment before starting again: "If they choose to help the space agency develop a heavy-duty launch vehicle, maybe they can

If they really can catch up with our progress, they can choose to take the space elevator route, which will only waste their time."

There is nothing wrong with Marsn's analysis. After all, the other party has invested all its resources in the space elevator, and the launch vehicle has lost its threat.

Even if they find that the space elevator is unworkable and want to go back to developing launch vehicles, they may have already built a lunar base by then.

It’s just that Marsn’s analysis must be based on the premise that the space elevator cannot be built.

Otherwise, it is all empty talk.

Tripp listened to Marsne's words and immediately understood the key to the matter.

Thinking about the strength that Future Technology has shown in recent years, it is really hard for people to underestimate it, and it must be confirmed again and again.

"What you said makes sense. Lunar resources are related to the future development of the space forces of all parties. It is normal that they are unwilling to give up their priority in resource selection." After affirming Mars's answer, his attention shifted to Hayden.

Body: "I wonder if future technology really won't be able to create a working space elevator?"

"I can guarantee that." Hayden nodded solemnly.

"I had already contacted Neon before coming here. They have a company that is keen on researching space elevators and has been doing so for a long time."

"The information they got from them is that the cables used to build the space elevator cannot be manufactured with current levels, and no material can withstand this kind of force."

As Hayden deliberately added this information, Tripp, who was originally frowning, finally relaxed a lot.

As long as it is certain that future technology cannot produce materials used for space elevator cables, then they do not need to worry too much. The most important thing now is to seize the time to deploy the moon landing and lunar base.
