Chapter 271 We succeeded(2/2)
"Fantasy becomes reality, and I suddenly feel that our generation is extremely lucky."
"The accelerator button has been pressed on human progress, and no one can stop it."
"Is it time to conduct testing next? I hope astronauts can land on the moon as soon as possible."
If Xu Lei controlled his consciousness and entered the hall of the Science and Technology Museum at this time, he would definitely find that while the barrage in the live broadcast room was refreshed at a high frequency, his influence was also growing rapidly.
The successful splicing of the main cable of the future technology space elevator has attracted countless people to be shocked and admired, but there are also some people who are angry and angry.
Because they didn't see the picture they wanted to see.
Among these people, Hayden and Marsne must be mentioned.
For the two of them, they are eager for problems with the space elevator project, and they firmly believe that the cables produced by future technology will not be able to withstand the tension of the elevator.
It was indeed wonderful to think about it, but reality slapped them in the face.
In the Dali Rover Island Space Agency, Hayden and Marsen looked at the tensioned cable in the live broadcast. Their expressions suddenly froze. Even the hand holding the wine glass froze in mid-air, and their eyes
Zhongman is incredible.
"It actually... withstood the pulling force!" Marsen was stunned, and his voice came out word by word: "This is impossible!"
Hearing the voice next to his ear, Hayden finally came back to his senses and leaned on the sofa without any strength: "Can future technology really create cable materials that can withstand the tension of the space elevator?"
In Hayden's perception, although the space elevator cable material does not exist at all, when the facts are before his eyes, words are no longer convincing.
No matter how it is denied, the cable is on top of the space elevator and successfully connects the near-Earth space port and the ground station.
At this critical moment, to be honest, Hayden was really a little panicked, because he didn't dare to think about what the world would look like if technology really created a space elevator in the future.
This situation is definitely not what he wants to see.
Fortunately, Marsen was always watching Hayden's performance. After seeing that the other party's mood seemed to be a little broken, he quickly shouted: "Sir Hayden, we might as well be patient. Even if this cable can successfully connect the space station and the ground, I believe that
It also cannot support the operation of the car."
Marsne's words are not wrong.
At present, the cable only connects the ground station and the space station. It is in a tight state and has not broken. In a certain aspect, it cannot prove anything.
It is only critical when the car is running.
The space elevator is based on practicality. Every time the car travels from the ground station to space, it must not be empty. If it is filled with supplies, it will pose a new test to the cable.
If there are quality problems or defects in the cable, it will break directly when the car climbs upward.
Hearing Masen's voice, Hayden immediately understood this, and then quickly controlled his emotions, frowning and confirming Masen's words: "You said it was indeed good, but now we haven't determined who will win or lose.
, I don’t believe that the cables developed in a short time by future technology can really meet the needs of space elevators.”
Seeing Hayden return to his previous state, Marsen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that his Space Exploration Technology Company is taking advantage of the lunar base project that has just emerged, it is time to vigorously develop and completely establish a foothold in the deep space field.
If Hayden messes up and suddenly convinces Tripp to cooperate with the future technology space elevator, then they will definitely be kicked out without hesitation, and it will be difficult for them to develop if they are weak.
That's why he stabilized Hayden immediately.
However, the situation in front of him was still not optimistic. He did not expect that technology would actually be able to create cables in the future.
And also successfully connected the main body.
But at this point, it is useless to say anything. At the moment, we can only pray that the space elevator with future technology will have problems during the operation test.
Otherwise he will lose his last chance in life.
With his mind running at high speed, Masen stared at the live broadcast in front of him, becoming highly nervous.
Of course, Xu Lei was too lazy to care about other people's reactions at this time. After all, he was in a state of joy when he saw that the cable had withstood the first round of tests.
But Xu Lei can't relax yet, because although the space elevator is equipped with cables, the car has not yet been installed.
In addition, a subsequent operational test will be performed, and it may take several days to truly determine the quality and powerful effect of the space elevator.
"Academician Xu, our cables successfully connected the ground station Tiangong Space Station and the near-Earth space port. This is really shocking!" Wu Chuping, the ground station control center, saw this scene and was so excited that he
The language system speaks these words somewhat independently of the brain's control.
Although Xu Lei only nodded when he heard these words, the excitement in his heart could still be seen in his eyes.
Nowadays, the tension structure of the cable relies on the centrifugal force of the rotation of the earth and the satellite. The ground tower is fixed, and the status of the cable must be monitored at all times on the synchronous orbit.
Ensure the stability of the cable structure.
If an emergency occurs, it needs to be dealt with promptly.
It seems that this job is not an easy one, but the astronauts on the space station are all the elites selected from all over the country. I believe they will have no problem being qualified for this job.
After considering this, Xu Lei decided to immediately install and run the car for testing.
After all, today is a special day, and it would be a great gift to be able to truly prove the practicality of the space elevator.
"Start the installation of the car."
"receive."
Following Xu Lei's order, the staff who had been prepared at the ground station used special tools to move the car to the tower.
The central part of the Climbing Tower is a circular hollow, which is the transportation pipe for cables and cars. Soon after the construction workers installed the car in place, they began to transport the already ordered materials inside.
Car no-load operation and full-load operation are two completely different concepts. Since the first test is to be carried out, materials must be shipped.
As for these supplies, they basically meet the needs of the space station, and also include equipment required for the upcoming moon landing plan. In addition, there are two special-shaped robots used to help astronauts load supplies in space.
But the most special one is the quantum relay station.
That's right.
Xu Lei built several quantum relay stations and stuffed them into the elevator.
According to his plan, these quantum relay stations will be installed in the Tiangong space station, space ports, and even future lunar bases.
In this way, even if you are on the moon, you can still enjoy the convenience of the quantum network.
But now Xu Lei is doing this mainly for the upcoming live broadcast of the moon landing.
Yes.
After the live broadcast room on Landing Island ends today, he plans to conduct another first-person moon landing live broadcast.
When Beijing Magnesium returned to the moon, only a few pictures were leaked, which did not satisfy the outside world's desire for the moon. Therefore, if the global audience can experience the entire process of landing on the moon, the popularity will definitely be higher than today.
At the same time, the influence will definitely increase.
Xu Lei also hopes to rely on this to directly exceed 5 million in influence and unlock new technological products.
At present, there are smart medical cabins in the medical field that have completely subverted the traditional medical system. Cancer, which is known as a disaster for mankind, has also been successfully conquered by nano-medical robots.
The average life span of humans has increased significantly.
Under this circumstance, Xu Lei could feel that this time he would definitely unlock exhibits that extend life span or optimize genes.
After all, looking at the global landscape, there should be no emergencies in a short period of time.
As for live broadcast on the moon, if you want to ensure the live broadcast effect, it will definitely not be possible without a quantum relay station. It can be said that it is most suitable to transport it up while the space elevator is running and testing.
While Xu Lei was thinking about this secretly, he heard another report from the ground staff coming from the communication equipment: "Report, the car is ready and can be started at any time!"
At this moment, hundreds of millions of people around the world are paying attention to the car. This is the first super project for mankind to enter deep space. Whether it can be successfully operated is related to the subsequent development and progress of human civilization, and it can be said to be extremely important.
At this critical moment that attracted everyone's attention, Xu Lei decisively gave the order: "Start."
"Start the elevator!" The elevator operator pressed the button, and immediately the car began to rise.
Under normal circumstances, the car lifts off by climbing on rollers. After breaking away from gravity, this climbing consumes almost no energy.
At the beginning, the car was like a train, and the speed of its upward climb was not very fast. But after a few seconds, the acceleration of the climb began to gradually increase. After rushing out of the sky tower, the entire car had turned into a rocket flying into space.
The speed of the spaceship will reach five kilometers per second.
From the ground station to the Tiangong space station, it takes up to two hours.
The car passed through the clouds and climbed on the straight carbon nanotube cables. The live broadcast of the ground station could no longer be captured, so that the screen automatically switched to the perspective of the car.
The feeling of the clouds quickly disappearing and the car rising rapidly makes you feel out of breath even when watching the live broadcast.
"The speed is so damn fast, just watching the live broadcast makes me feel like I'm on a roller coaster."
"It's so exciting. It's much better than flying!"
"I really want to experience the space elevator. When will the tickets be open?"
"Just think about it in your dreams. Even if the tickets are really open for commercial use, I'm afraid I won't be able to afford them."
"The material of the cable is so strong. The car is fully loaded and traveling at high speed. There is no problem with the entire space elevator structure."
"There is no doubt that the future technology space elevator has succeeded."
"This is a slap in the face for those arrogant people overseas. I wonder how they will react now?"
…
Time passed little by little as the car continued to climb rapidly. When it was about to approach the Tiangong space station, the astronauts performing the mission inside were also ready.
Chapter completed!
