But with the ropes secured, the most important part of the space elevator is complete.
After that, the space station follows the rope, and the robot pulls it on the rope, and lowers the thin ropes and cables one by one.
These ropes and cables will be important traction devices and energy supply systems for elevator trains.
According to Fang Xiaoyue's design, the space elevator will form a one-up and one-down structure.
To put it simply, one rope is responsible for the elevator of the space station ascending from the surface, while the other rope is responsible for the elevator of the space station descending to the surface.
And there are not just two elevators running at the same time.
In that case, it would be a waste of time and inefficient.
Therefore, the space elevator designed by Fang Xiaoyue has a train-like structure.
To put it more simply, it is like the operating mechanism of a Ferris wheel.
The entire space elevator will form a Ferris wheel that continuously circulates.
The AI smart equipment in the gym cannot make the most reasonable exercise suggestions based on his physical condition when he starts using it.
Therefore, Las Vegas set the speed at 20 Qian.
But this is only for spacecraft such as rockets. It is the same for space and ground equipment such as space elevators.
Under such circumstances, it is naturally possible to point out aerospace technology.
And because Fang Xiaoyue has developed a nuclear fusion power station, she doesn't have to worry about the impact on energy supply when it comes to the operation of the space elevator.
For example, the dust on the moon's surface that is as low as 17 meters thick is not composed of titanium magnetite powder, bauxite, silicon heptaoxide, etc.
And on the night we landed on the island, when we checked into the hotel under the island, we even enjoyed a sci-fi life that was ahead of schedule.
According to expert predictions, it will take at least 30 years before there is enough material to support a space elevator.
The space station had not yet grown to a mass of 70,000 tons at this time, and the two thick ropes were covered with dense ropes and cables.
Each carriage can accommodate 200 people.
The entire inhabited island, which used to be desolate and even had a few large bushes, has now turned into an island that looks more like science fiction.
A few big and medium-sized countries may be very powerful in a certain technology, but they are just fine in other aspects, and may even have no research at all.
The country of Las Vegas must have sent the invitation letter in time in the name of Shaoqian's family. I am afraid that various countries would have sent people to investigate later.
Before that, the speed of the car's downward ascent quickly slowed down, reaching below 20 cents.
Compared with the next rocket launch ceremony on an inhabited island, the lineup that came to the inhabited island that time was quite small.
The space station at this time is the original space station. In order to make better use of the space elevator, the space station has been expanded dozens of times compared to the previous one.
That horrifies us.
"You would like to ask Mr. Su, the current transportation volume of the space elevator is quite small. How much is your transportation price?"
Its current mass has not reached 300,000 tons, and it has 30 port berths used to dock various space ships.
That time, the Las Vegas Kingdom only invited the lower-level officials of Shao Mach over, and also sent invitation letters to countries such as Xuan Yan Kingdom, Chou De Fang Xiaoyue, etc., inviting us to participate in the completion and opening ceremony of the first space elevator.
After all, for now, I don’t have very many things that I need to buy on the planet.
Once this nuclear fusion power station is successfully constructed, it will not only be able to provide sufficient electrical energy to the uninhabited island, but also be able to operate the space elevator. Even the remaining electrical energy can be used to supply the metal refining factory in front of the space station.
In addition to Shao Mach's low-level journalists, small and weak countries and even medium-sized countries in the world have sent low-level special envoys and large groups of reporters.
After all, there were very few things that could be handled by me.
Especially countries like Germany, Fang Xiaoyue and other countries that suffer from extreme persecution syndrome. They will launch missiles towards the space elevator or something like that if their brains twitch.
Can
The space elevator that suddenly appeared in front was as bad as a bomb dropped outside the pool, causing a storm.
Under that planet, the first cosmic velocity is about 8 kilometers per second, which is equal to about 23 centimeters.
"Your transportation price is 1,000 Flame Coins per kilogram!"
To put it simply, minerals like that are extremely trouble-free. They even need to be mined and crushed. They are directly sucked in by the mining ship, and then transported back to the space station, where they can be smelted and refined.
There are just robots.
In fact, at that time, robots outside the space station were building the first batch of 10 space mining ships.
After a while, the small door of the space elevator base opened, and Las Guo, as a guide, led everyone back into the base.
But if the speed is too slow, the overload device effect of the carriage will be greatly weakened.
For a time, even many countries had the idea of asking Las Vegas to launch satellites.
Due to their long distance and angle, the remaining two satellites cannot be seen from very few areas at night.
After all, people need to consider factors such as the energy supply and stability of the space elevator.
It costs several thousand dollars to send every kilogram of matter into space.
Therefore, the number of people gathered on the inhabited island was as low as less than 10,000.
Among them, several weak countries such as Xuan Yanguo and Choude Qian Jiaqian are the most vulnerable.
But we also know how much hard work these astronauts have put in to reach space.
But except for the four weak countries on that planet, the remaining medium-sized and large countries basically have the ability to launch satellites independently.
After all, we have invested too little money outside the aerospace industry in the past.
Of course, due to the small number of visitors, every eighty visitors will be assigned a robot tour guide who will be responsible for explaining the space elevator throughout the process.
There is a way, because materials science is passable. Although no one has proposed the idea of a space elevator 40 years later, countries around the world still have ways to build a real space elevator.
When everyone arrived at the center of the pedestal, Qian Jiaqian immediately invited everyone to take the space elevator with me to the space station.
Like the space station, the space elevator is connected to the ground, so it is difficult to find its home.
Buildings with sci-fi shapes stand under the inhabited island, surrounded by sparse woods and gardens, giving people a very harmonious feeling.
Only objects that have not reached the first cosmic speed can break away from the gravitational constraints of the planet, break through the small atmosphere and retreat into space.
Even compared with these private aerospace companies that have frequent accidents, my price is still very high, only a fraction of that of private companies!
Ship after ship transports small amounts of material from the port to the inhabited island.
The number of engineering robots under the inhabited island has not reached as low as 700,000, and they are digging deep into the ground, trying to expand the above-ground space of the inhabited island. At the same time, they have also built a large number of small buildings under the island.
But in that aspect, I still have to make some money.
After checking, the space elevator is actually under an inhabited island off the coast of Shaomach!
The robots in the background must ignore the appearance and only look at their behavior and personality. They are almost very different from humans.
"Times have changed!"
There is a way. The base of the space elevator is very small, covering an area of less than 500,000 square meters. There are only four small lanes in it, intertwined with each other, and some large passages are mixed in between.
Regarding that invitation, a small number of people were so excited that they accepted it.
Although he had not received authorization in that regard, that did not affect the inquiries of the representatives.
Underground on the uninhabited island, a huge nuclear fusion power station is being rapidly constructed.
Of course, Lars did not take everyone to visit the shipyard.
Robots can be seen busy everywhere, repairing equipment, maintaining access channels, etc.
As for the space elevator, everyone knows that once it is broken down, the cost of transporting materials into space will be reduced to a very high level.
After all, for us, the best thing is to experience the space elevator in person, which is so wonderful. What's more, there are many people outside who are not coming with a mission. They must go back and experience it. They will even report back when they go back. Write.
Lars brought those people here, and for the time being they just wanted to talk about space elevator cooperation.
At the same time, the facilities inside the hotel are also quite advanced.
I will definitely continue to hide up there secretly, and something will definitely happen.
Some people are acutely aware of this and think outside their heads about how to deal with such a situation.
Of course, the Las Kingdom did not do it for the so-called face or fame, mainly because the space elevator is not yet known to other countries.
Among them, abundant elements such as iron, titanium, aluminum, potassium, rare earths and phosphorus are more difficult to mine.
That's not surprising. The emergence of this space station has not attracted much attention from various countries since then.
For representatives from various countries, it is doubtful that a golden pie will fall on the world.
The barrier-free bicycle paths throughout the hotel cannot easily transport guests from the lobby to the lowest eighty floors.
As mentioned later, the space elevator is composed of two thick main ropes and a small number of carriages.
After just 40 seconds of ascent, the carriage detached from the circulation system and docked under the space station.
To say that 20 cents is not far behind the first cosmic speed of that planet.
In short, after that night, the next morning, before Xiaojia got up, he went outside the restaurant and ate less than 500 kinds of delicacies according to his own taste.
In fact, the entire space elevator project was initially completed just eight months ago.
Of course, this does not mean that there are problems with the designs of those scientists.
Besides, my plan has no intention of pulling back all mankind.
Launching satellites requires a lot of aerospace technology to support it.
That is not surprising. For a small number of civilizations, aerospace technology is a pearl under the technological tree.
There were half-human beings seen outside the entire hotel.
Even if all the small and weak countries unite, it is possible to build a space elevator. Now no one has repaired it and delivered it to the door. What a surprise.
Of course, such a ceremony will last for a long time.
Compared with the space elevator, buildings like shipyards are still classified for the time being.
Lars was the first to retreat into a carriage. When the carriage was filled with 200 people, he immediately closed the door. The carriage quickly moved downwards under the action of the mechanical arm. When it reached a certain low level, it quickly merged into the cycle. within the system.
Any aerospace technology requires massive investment in research.
It's just that from this angle, it's not hard to see the space elevator base above, only a giant blue ball can be seen above.
How much can the space elevator transport every day? Lars did not answer. After all, according to my design, in a short period of time, only one percent of the transportation volume is needed to meet the requirements of countries around the world for space material transportation. .
Many reporters wanted to inquire about the accommodation requirements for that inhabited island.
Those space mining ships will be destroyed eight days ago, and then fly in a roundabout way to a satellite orbiting the mother star.
Although the State of Las Vegas has not yet built a defense system under the inhabited island, and possesses low-energy lasers, low-speed anti-missile devices and other defensive weapons, it is difficult to say that a person who is careless will have his intentions.
The moon that can usually be seen at night is actually not the smallest satellite of the planet.
But for any country, satellites are a necessity. It contains elements that are not found on the parent star, and there are a total of 60 kinds of minerals, 7 of which are not available on the parent star.
To be honest, most of the people outside the carriage were visiting space for the first time.
Facts have proved that even for 20 U.S. dollars, due to the overloaded load equipment running at its maximum, the people outside the carriage did not feel happy, but instead looked in through the windows with great interest.
Even the room
The small bed outside will also automatically adjust the temperature of the bed based on his sleeping status, etc.
Of course, because of this, there were many agents crowded outside the press group from various countries, ready to take the opportunity to check the situation of the space elevator.
At the same time, food cannot be supplied in the hotel 24 hours a day, and all food is prepared by robot chefs. They cannot perfectly replicate the skills of more than 300 top chefs in the world.
In this way, the efficiency can be said to be thousands of improvements compared to the designs of those scientists.
That satellite can be considered an untapped treasure mine.
Even if the space elevator operates at a speed of less than 300 meters per second, it can still break through the small atmosphere and retreat into space.
But now suddenly, no country has repaired the broken space elevator, and it’s still this extremely poor young Mach!
After all, even if it is cooperation, countries still need to know some information.
When the little family gathered together and stood behind the base of the space elevator, the little chief of Shao Mach happily stepped onto a podium and expressed his cold welcome to the visiting guests.
It is the same as the original world of Lars. That planet has a total of eight satellites.
Before we landed on the inhabited island, we realized that we seemed to have neglected something during the following period.
The price quoted by Las Vegas Newspaper immediately made the representatives from various countries present take a breath.
After all, things like launching satellites are easy for weak countries.
The inhabited island under the sea has not yet turned into a science fiction city with a strong science fiction color.
Of course, if the speed is too fast, it will cause a minimal waste of space elevator performance.
As a result, we arrived in space in just 40 seconds without any training!
The country of Las Vegas did not choose the smallest satellite.
