"The space elevator project has started!"
"What?! Just started it?"
"Umbrella has indeed finished manufacturing the components..."
"But it's too fast! It took all countries to jointly build the International Space Station for ten years and cost 160 billion US dollars!"
"Then you have to look at Umbrella's satellite launch speed..."
"This is Umbrella."
"Yes, I suddenly feel so stable. I don't care much about alien invasion anymore."
"The puppy was right before, Umbrella will take action..."
"..." Although Umbrella's casual description of 'We have been building space elevator accessories' has attracted a lot of attention.
But I didn’t expect that the startup speed would be so fast! Have you just finished saying this and are you ready to start? No wonder the opening time for tourism in Penglai has been postponed!
In fact, many people on the Internet have already provided analysis based on Peng Lai's position and Umbrella's actions.
Umbrella had a space elevator plan from the beginning! But originally, the plan might not be so fast, and it might even start after Penglai is opened.
This time when encountering an alien visitor, all public opinions and excuses were laid out, and he could get started directly.
And the opportunity is rare, don’t miss it! Therefore, even if Umbrella is not so fully prepared, I am afraid that during this period, Umbrella will work overtime and focus on the space elevator... Peng Lai, the "Starry Sky Cup" players who were still in the city at this time also came out one after another. .
Even Shuma made an appearance! However, unlike before, he was lying down all the time. This time, Shuma wore a set of full-body 'prosthetics' and walked out with the support of his wife and the help of the robot next to him, and together they came to the 'airport' at the top of Penglai.
Superstars such as Kobe Bryant, Jordan, and Melo have all come here. Obviously, most of them came here during their break. Some were shirtless in beach shorts, while others were wearing swimming trunks and golf suits.
"I didn't expect to see such a scene."
"I haven't read much, but I know this is very powerful."
"Are you sure it's safe here? I remember the last time I saw a live broadcast, there was a lot of movement."
"The robot is here, you can ask. Because of the direction, the main airflow will be blocked by the signal tower. This location is a safe area, and even if you accidentally go outside, you can enjoy the typhoon and not be blown directly. fly……"
"There is also a live broadcast here. It is said that there will be a space perspective when the time comes. I am really looking forward to it."
"..." Everyone was talking to each other, and Shuma, who temporarily stood up again with his prosthetic limbs, couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"This is technology, it's great." The voice was hoarse, but it was the sound coming from his own mouth!
He really wants to rely on Umbrella's technology to regain his life! Even though he had just stood up with his prosthetic limbs, he was extremely excited.
The people nearby were also surprised when they heard Shuma speak. Previously, it could only rely on brain-computer connection.
The puppy even ran over and asked excitedly
"Uncle Shuma, has your treatment officially started? It seems to be working well!" Bolt, who was next to him, also said with emotion.
"Congratulations." Others followed closely and gave blessings. Shuma's wife Colleen was so happy that she opened her mouth from ear to ear, and then said on behalf of Shuma, whose voice was still a little hoarse.
"The treatment has started. The first phase of treatment has been carried out. The subsequent flora is now being cultivated. The voice and facial control were completed in the first treatment! There is also some recovery of the muscles in the body. Umbrella is really It’s so strong, thank you very much!” As she said this, she was wiping her tears.
Then he was patted on the shoulder by Shuma next to him, relying on the drive of his prosthetic limb. Looking at the scene in front of them, everyone was moved and gave their blessings again.
"Okay, we came here to see the rocket... Oh, it's called a mass projector, right? It's really exciting." Shuma spoke again in a hoarse voice.
The equatorial sunlight shines on the airport runway, and you can even see the distorted air on the runway. But even in this environment, everyone was still staring at the towering mass transmitter and waiting quietly... At the same time, Umbrella also conducted a multi-angle live broadcast on the entire network, and also designated airspace control, and Well-intentioned 'advice' was issued.
"In the future, this airspace will also be the connecting cable for the space elevator. I hope all major airlines will pay attention." He did not say that he would shoot down the aircraft as soon as it came, nor did he say a 'no-fly zone'. His tone was very gentle.
But above Umbrella's head, even the most beautiful ones don't dare to challenge 'free flight'.
In addition, the original location was chosen to avoid all air routes. Now, except for Umbrella's own Penglai flight, it would be completely disrespectful for other flights to temporarily pass by here.
Therefore, this 'moderate' announcement also received unanimous response from all major airlines! And as long as it's not for civilian use, it doesn't matter if it's for military use.
"Then, the 'Space Elevator' project is officially launched..." Along with the red queen's narration in the live broadcast, the mass projector sank again in the next moment, and a roar of filial piety that had been silent for several months broke out!
Although it has appeared once before when Umbrella launched a satellite. But when we saw the clouds that were directly penetrated, the stream of light that shot straight into the sky, the turbulent sea surface and the strong wind, those who watched the live broadcast still felt the shock!
This feeling can be felt through the screen, and a group of people staying at the scene felt the strong wind sweeping through!
"Wow, this is still mostly blocked. Will it really be blown away if I go out?"
"You can try!"
"You can jump high, I guess it's possible, haha!"
"It's really shocking!" Everyone watching at close range put on windproof goggles and felt the blood surging in their bodies.
In particular, Shuma, Kobe, Jordan, etc. who have reached the top 16 and have obtained the right to settle and can bring their immediate family members to move into the allocated houses at any time, have a little sense of honor in their hearts.
Although Penglai did not ask to give up their nationality, it was just a right to settle, but it still quickly became their second hometown in their hearts!
From medical to everyday everything, this place is perfect and awesome! A true paradise! At this time, in front of the live broadcast screen, there was a large group of aviation experts from all walks of life analyzing it.
After seeing the launch situation, many experts also sighed.
"Sure enough, compared to the last launch, they should have continued to improve the mass projector during this time."
"Well, it was only a low orbit before, but this time it is directly targeting the synchronous orbit. If there is no construction above..., it can only be extended below."
"It's so easy and so fast to extend in the sea, their materials are really jealous!"
"It should also be a modular design, just put it together."
"So our Littoral Combat Ship is heading in the right direction?"
"..." Chapter 656: A concept animation appeared in the live broadcast room. The above is a conceptual diagram of the distance between Penglai, the Earth's atmosphere and the synchronous orbit.
The emitted module also moves in this picture as a small dot. It's just that originally this was just a more intuitive concept map of launch.
Only after the first batch of arriving orbital engineering robots are deployed can the linkage be completed for filming on the synchronous orbit.
But when this proportional real-time concept map comes out. Many netizens who were just listening for fun were surprised to find that the height of the synchronized orbit was a bit unexpected!
Crazy messages also started in the barrage.
"Hey, is this a proportional picture? Is there something wrong with it?"
"Damn it, why is the earth in the picture so small? The atmosphere is so thin?"
"Isn't the location a little far away? It wouldn't be the lunar orbit, would it?"
"..." After many questions emerged, some explanation barrage also appeared.
"This is a scale diagram. The earth has a radius of more than 6,000 kilometers and a diameter of more than 12,000 kilometers. Most satellites are actually located at a few hundred kilometers, but the orbit of synchronous satellites is 35,000, which is almost three diameters of the earth. ." In fact, someone has mentioned the altitude figures of synchronous satellite orbits before.
It’s just that pure numbers don’t have this concept. However, when this scale diagram appeared, everyone understood how high the orbit of the synchronous satellite was!
Dozens of times the height of conventional low-orbit satellites!
"Umbrella has indeed been preparing for a long time."
"Yes, geostationary satellite orbits have higher requirements."
"It's almost there, looking forward to it..."... From the perspective of space, in the deep and vast starry sky, the blue planet, which is not even dust in the universe, looks so majestic.
A black spot kept spinning and rushing out of the atmosphere, and then a blue plasma jet appeared above it.
Multi-angle, multi-directional jets are constantly correcting the trajectory of this 'big square'. At each critical node, the jet is continuously adjusted at multiple angles, and its position is accurately determined through internal programs and correlation with satellite signals.
With the last few intensive and continuous changes, this 'big square' stopped completely.
From the stopped position, looking at the blue planet in front of me, it seemed that it was motionless, and the two sides seemed to be relatively stationary!
We can only adapt and slowly feel the changes in sunlight! Then the 'big square' gradually unfolded.
The solar panels, robotic arms, and injection interfaces all emerged from the original blocks one by one, completing their transformation.
A strange machine with solar panels and many mechanical 'arms' appeared in front of him.
If it were on the ground, such slender arms and its weird structure might not allow it to climb up.
However, after the synchronous orbit loses the influence of gravity, the design of the engineering robot can be quite exaggerated.
Then, with the switching of Umbrella's special lenses, in conjunction with the satellite groups in low orbit, the signal transmission and connection were directly completed with the ground, and the picture was transmitted back in real time, and appeared in the live broadcast room!
"As you can see, the picture connection is normal, the initial calibration launch was successful, and the first Orbit-i engineering robot has arrived at the predetermined orbit. Next, we can use this Orbit-i engineering robot to watch the arrival of subsequent modules , as more and more modules and robots arrive, more and more perspectives can be provided, and we will live broadcast the entire construction of the space elevator..." Then, the mass launcher roared again!
And compared with the original satellite launch, which required adjusting the orbital angle, this time it can be done without any fuss.
The launched module will make subsequent adjustments autonomously! Then the complete projectile screen began to appear from the perspective of the engineering robot!
With the starry sky as the background and the blue star as the curtain, in the deep starry sky, one could see the follow-up module that was constantly spraying plasma jets, constantly changing its trajectory and direction and slowly approaching, and finally 'parked' nearby and remained relatively stationary.
Watching the 'gift packages' rolling forward one by one, and then gradually stopping with the continuous spray. The first engineering robot also quickly started its work and began to move slowly on the track relying on its own propeller. It stretched out its pliers to pull the 'package' to the designated location and began to 'assemble' it!
Then the second, third, and even all subsequent robots that arrived began to cooperate in unpacking the packages!
Obviously these orbiting robots look 'slow' when they move, and even have a sense of humor.
But as they assembled in perfect harmony, the modules that were dragged up started to move.
Under multiple angles and multiple lenses, the synchronized orbit that looks full of messy 'packages' gives people the feeling of a century project!
It seemed that the movement was slow, but as the flashing electric light and the tacit splicing began, it gave everyone a shock called 'efficiency'!
This is a fully mechanical, fully automatic project that maximizes efficiency under the mediation of artificial intelligence!
Originally, Umbrella was already highly regarded. Even when Peng Lai was able to spend it within a year, it can be regarded as super efficient!
When you watch the robots sold by Umbrella working in the factory, you can also feel the tacit cooperation and perfect efficiency brought by pure machinery.
But now, I see this super project on the synchronous orbit. After watching those robots being able to extend multiple arms at the same time, dragging various modules easily in that gravity-free environment, and starting some docking work.
A glimmer of understanding has emerged in most people's minds... The efficiency of Umbrella's 'space elevator' plan will be much faster than originally expected!
Pure modular assembly, pure mechanized cooperation, after the module manufacturing has been completed, the terrifying delivery efficiency of the mass projector is really beyond people's imagination!
The robots dragged away modules one after another, and against the background of the starry sky, one could see 'packages' being delivered one after another in the direction of the Earth.
There are the building blocks of a space elevator, and there are also newly arrived robots! Even the robots and modules themselves that were delivered seemed to be in perfect order under the calculations of artificial intelligence.
As soon as each new robot appears, you can easily grab the nearby modules, as if they were specially 'delivered to your hands'!
As for some experts who had been closely observed by professional organizations, many people stood up in horror at this time.
"Impossible! How is it possible to have such a launch efficiency? This far exceeds previous satellite launches!"
"What kind of power generation system is this?"
"Nuclear power plants are terrible..."
"They have added many new modules in the future. Will there be super energy storage modules that can store the energy from the previous nuclear power plants?"
"This should be possible, and a new nuclear power module should also be added."
"Such a large energy storage device is just for this time..."
"Peng Lai, it's so scary!"
"This is a war machine. It has nuclear power to generate electricity and can store energy. When necessary, their firepower will be poured out instantly. It is extremely terrifying."
"To deal with them, we must rely on absolute numerical saturation attacks to defeat their energy threshold."
"Hey, it's better not to think about dealing with it all the time. It gives you a headache..."
"According to this efficiency, the construction of their space elevator is faster than our starship."
"Is it still being built?"
"Of course we have to build it! We can't let them control everything! Do we have a chance to build this thing?"
"Even if we buy all their materials, we can't bear the cost. We have to ask them to launch it."
"If you ask them to launch, you have to commission them to manufacture all the modules of the space elevator, otherwise they will not be able to meet the intensity requirements of the launch."
"..." A group of people couldn't help but fell silent. The result of the discussion was that it was useless! Except for the monster Umbrella, no force can complete it!
All the technical details and components related to this space elevator were developed step by step by Umbrella.
From mass projection to robots to artificial intelligence control, from basic superconductivity, materials, and procedures, all key nodes are in their hands!
Compare it to the bloated size of the starship that we are still actively building. Everyone couldn't help but sigh.
This kind of contrast and contrast...it's hard to describe in one word...Chapter 657: The future
"Are we really going in the wrong direction..." Even after the mass projector came out, NASA and SX did not give up.
Because the mass projector also has inherent flaws! Although low-Earth orbit is invincible, in the future, we will still need to rely on high-thrust rockets for landing on the moon and Mars.
Mass projectors also have too high quality requirements for the things they launch. Therefore, the emergence of the mass projector actually enhanced Masla's fighting spirit.
Let him focus on the starship wholeheartedly. It is enough for the satellite to have the Falcon. Although it is not as good as the mass projector, it is still enough!
Once the starship comes out, you can move back to a game again! I am only at a disadvantage in some areas! Just like now, although Umbrella seems to be in full swing, it is not the best in all industries.
The world does not mean that once a company becomes top, there will be no opportunities for other companies. Just like the emergence of trackers, it actually helped SX electric vehicles open up the sinking low-end market.
Trackers have opened up consumers’ awareness of the benefits of electric vehicles, and strengthened the construction of auxiliary modules such as electric piles and consumption habits.
SX electric vehicles only need to be fully imitated and then lowered in price. Still survived!
The market share can go to Prussia and Neon who don’t know how to adapt! The same goes for the competition in space.
You, Umbrella, have a mass projector and are invincible in low orbit. But relying on rockets, you can also seize areas that you can't touch!
Anyway, seeing that Umbrella had no rocket-related plans, he was relatively relieved. Especially this time when the alien visitors arrive, the design of the starship has been completed, and a cooperation agreement has been reached with the singer's "Don Quixote". It is the time to rectify the name of the starship in one fell swoop!
However... the starships here are still being built on the ground, and the space elevator has already been built in the sky... Since he is engaged in this field, Masra certainly knows what it means to have a space elevator in the sky.
The so-called spaceship, the so-called interstellar navigation, actually has a big difficulty in overcoming the earth's gravity.
However, if the launch site is placed in space, even the thrust of the Hall thruster can easily complete the orbit change and acceleration of the satellite. It is really much simpler!
Theoretically, launching in space, coupled with our own rocket recovery technology, will have the opportunity to truly travel to and from Mars.
Only a small amount of thrust is needed to move towards Mars, and the main fuel is left for launching to Mars and returning! It is even said that theoretically, there are already prerequisites for using a space elevator to continuously transport materials into space, and then continuously launching them towards Mars to build a Mars base.
The biggest difficulty in the front-end has been solved, and the rest is really too simple. Even if it is left to other companies to build it, there will be no problem at all.
Moon base, Mars base. It sounds like a far-fetched concept, but after the space elevator is formed, it can already be seen in our lifetime!
No, not even in my lifetime! Relying on Umbrella's robots and their ever-increasing efficiency, as long as the modules are continuously manufactured, they are then launched along with the robots in batches.
After the space elevator comes out, you can already start making preparations! Thinking of the time when he vowed to immigrate to Mars, and the starship that he put all his efforts into, Masla felt bitter for a moment.
"Oh, since when did I start pursuing money and status blindly?"
"When did my original dream turn into a gimmick for me to make money..." Looking at the live broadcast in front of him, the tacit cooperation and terrifying splicing efficiency of the robot in the synchronous satellite orbit, Masla finally lowered his head. .
The gap is too big. He was so old that he no longer had the courage to chase after him...but then he regained his composure and cheered up again
"No! I still have a chance! As long as Umbrella is willing to borrow the space elevator and I transport the starship to the space elevator, then I still have a chance!"... The whole world is paying attention to the synchronous satellite orbit. Automatic construction.
Purely mechanized orbital robots. Different models do different things. The division of labor is clear and the modules are started to be spliced one by one.
The beauty of efficiency and craftsmanship is so shocking under the visual impact of the space background and the mother star. Occasionally, the sun seems to be sweeping across the surface to see the brilliance!
Penglai is still ejecting continuously, and a large number of module components are continuously entering space. This kind of power, this kind of frequency, and this kind of energy consumption make some professionals who are constantly observing calculations feel numb.
Even if it is nuclear power, even if it has a special power storage module, this is too exaggerated! But even at this time, no one has even considered the issue of controllable nuclear fusion.
It’s not that the theory is not good, it’s that we have been studying this stuff and we all know the threshold and difficulty! Instead of believing in controllable nuclear fusion, it is better to believe that they have more efficient power generation technology and have achieved a qualitative breakthrough in the density and power of fission reactors!
It should still be possible for Penglai to fully support the launch even if its own internal work is completely suspended.
And that was when the space elevator project was progressing steadily and was being quickly built in synchronous orbit. Penglai itself has fully adapted to the stability of this emission frequency by relying on the adjustment system.
If it were made of normal materials, even if most of the projector was buffered on the seabed, the metal at the connection would have been torn long ago.
No matter how high-strength the alloy is, it cannot withstand this. However, Umbrella has her own unique material technology, and even repairs and stabilizes spell inscriptions. Coupled with the buffering of pulleys and unloading most of them into the seabed, in addition to one hour of inspection and maintenance every day, twenty-three In launch every hour!
In a ward in Peng Lai, Shuma was lying in the medical cabin receiving a new treatment. Under the detection of the magic lens in the medical cabin, cell-level image data of the damaged nerve appeared directly on the screen!
The color-marked pruning archaea were slowly cleaning the branch endings of the damaged nerve, completely removing some irregular and redundant tissues, and swallowing them into the body to wait for hydrolysis.
The speed is very slow, but it is also very slight. It will hardly affect other places except near the damaged nerves.
However, some of the pruned nerve cells will be killed and removed. But in fact, for the overall number of nerve cells, this little loss is completely insignificant.
“Good, everything went well, the trimming is almost done, now comes the gluing.”
"First inject one unit to calculate the feasibility." With the newly injected archaea, under the compiled homing effect, it can be clearly seen from the image that another completely different adhesive archaea comes along the blood. Reached the designated area and successfully stopped!
Homecoming successful!
"Huh~ Not bad, there is no problem with the compilation. The Red Queen also gave supportive suggestions. Let's inject the remaining archaea..." As another damage point was repaired, the repair was completed.
Shuma came out of the medical cabin again. Without using his prosthetic limb, he raised his hand tremblingly and held the edge.
Although he still had no feeling in his lower body, after he sat up without the help of prosthetic limbs, Shuma still had tears in his eyes, and then he kept reaching out and pinching his arms.
That long-lost pain reaction made him want to laugh out loud.
"Okay, although we have injected optimization fluid into your atrophic muscles to repair them, you still need to do certain exercises to complete the absorption. At the same time, you must continue to stimulate the nerve connections that have just been completed and enter the follow-up rehabilitation training. You cannot overdo it, and you cannot If not, the Red Queen will give you a plan based on your situation. Remember to follow the plan and don’t modify it without authorization. This is closely related to the final recovery effect." Following the doctor’s earnest instructions, Shuma also shed tears. While nodding constantly...————
