I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World Chapter 926: Guests from afar

Although both reading and writing are called elevators, the base of this elevator is much wider than ordinary high-rise buildings. But even so, at the length of more than 30,000 kilometers, this vertically suspended elevator looks slender like a noodle.

Jiang Chen boarded the space base station of the Space Elevator in a warship of Star Ring Trade.

Just a short time from the next port, a group of people approached him.

"We succeeded!"

When Jiang Chen returned to reality and saw Kerwin's first face, this arrogant middle-aged and old man was excited like a child, holding his hand.

Jiang Chen is more calm. Compared with the excitement of witnessing the birth of the spectacle and the excitement of leaving a name in history, he was more relieved in his heart at this moment, and relieved in the distant future.

"Yes, we succeeded."

Kelvin's hand was released, and Jiang Chen looked up at the space elevator and suddenly looked at the technical director standing next to Kerwin and asked.

"If I want to engrave a line on the bottom of the space elevator, what pen is better?"

The technical director froze for a moment, and then said, "A laser torch will do."

"Help me get a laser torch."

Although I do n’t know what the chairman is paying attention to, the technical director still winks at the engineers next to him. Soon, a laser torch weighing five to six pounds was delivered to Jiang Chen. After taking it, Jiang Chen took it in his hand and weighed it. He was surprised to see Kerwin and the technical director standing next to him.

The ability to hold these five to six pounds of welding torches in one hand is so much more powerful than the chairman ’s hands.

Going to the space elevator, Jiang Chen pressed the switch of the welding torch, and used the gun head with a dazzling white light to engrave a box of simplified Chinese characters on the titanium alloy shell of the space elevator base.

Two steps back, Jiang Chen looked at the line he had carved and nodded in satisfaction.

"I know we can solve the next problem, because we have solved all the problems that have appeared before." Kerwin, who has learned Chinese, frowned and said that sentence over the years, and looked at Jiang Chen to ask Said, "Is there any deep meaning in this sentence?"

"Nothing, just to commemorate." Jiang Chen laughed, turned off the power of the welding torch, and threw the welding torch back to the engineer's arms. "Go, take me to see the elevator."

Into the interior of the space elevator, Jiang Chen understood the whole picture of the entire space elevator orbit and its operating mechanism through the engineering holographic concept image displayed by Kerwin. There are a total of six passenger tracks, three of which pass upwards, and the other three pass downwards. When the cars arrive at the terminal, they will change tracks.

Because of the design of monorail and one-way traffic, multiple cars traveling at the same speed can be operated on one track at the same time. It is foreseeable that in the not-too-distant future, space activities are bound to be quite frequent. People take the space elevator to the outer space, and it will even be as convenient as the high-speed rail we are now.

This design is also a precautionary plan for future rail traffic congestion.

After the visit, Jiang Chen directly enjoyed lunch with the senior executives of the space launch centers, including Kerwin, in the cafeteria of the offshore platform. At the dinner table, Jiang Chen asked Kerwin by the way about the progress of the asteroid capture program.

"The work of landing and weaving the web went very smoothly, but the process of changing the track was slower than expected," Kerwin put down the fork in his hand, and said with embarrassment, "Although the supercomputer center is small The planetary orbit has been accurately measured, but how to ensure the speed and orbit of the asteroid at the same time still has certain difficulties with the current technical means. Each acceleration of the traction rocket is very critical, even if it is a wrong step, it must be renewed. Calculation. "

“And Benu ’s asteroid left us little time. After mid-January, the asteroid will be farther and farther away from us. If you want to catch it again, you have to wait six years.” The project leader of the asteroid capture program sitting next to Kerwin interjected.

There are so many difficulties that Jiang Chen expects. He can bring back technical information far beyond the times from the end times, but he can't help these scientists and technicians to digest these epoch-making technologies. Even in the 22nd century, asteroid mining is a frontier discipline.

"Deploy explosives on the asteroid to ensure that if it suddenly loses control, we can at least blow it out of the atmosphere."

"We are already doing it." Kerwin said seriously. "We deployed 2.5 tons of T.NT equivalent explosives on the Benu asteroid. If the orbit error occurs, the remaining fuel of the rocket thruster is insufficient. To get rid of the gravitational capture of the earth, we can detonate it into meteorite fragments as it approaches the dissipation layer. "

After lunch, Jiang Chen arrived at the space launch center by boat with Kerwin.

The launch site originally used to launch rockets has been idle after the completion of the space elevator. The transport ship between the Earth and the Moon has been designed and has now entered the experimental stage. At present, supplies are supplied to the lunar colony, and the second-stage rocket of Xinghuan 4 is directly sent to the synchronous orbit through the space elevator, and then accelerated into the earth-moon transfer orbit.

The cost of traveling to and from the moon has been reduced by 60% due to the direct elimination of first-level rockets and fuel pushed into outer space. The Star Ring Trade is studying the feasibility of expanding the size of the moon colony. If the plan is finally implemented, the Star Ring Trade will send another 100 colonists to the moon.

Just after Jiang Chen inspected the situation of the moon colony base, a call was made to his watch.

I turned on the watch and connected the phone. Xia Shiyu's voice immediately appeared in Jiang Chen's ear.

"Our guests are here."

"Oh? Is it a guest from China or Russia? Or is it from Washington." Jiang Chen and Yan Yue asked.

"Is a guest from China. They have disembarked the plane at the Koror Airport. The Minister of Commerce and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the new country have arrived to pick up the plane. The purpose of the other party is very clear. I hope to talk to us about the space elevator. Things. "

Jiang Chen opened the holographic screen and looked at the time, it was already more than five o'clock.

"Since coming from afar, let them rest for a day. By the way, have they contacted the place where they live?"

"They have booked a room at the Hilton Hotel in the Heart of the Ocean and are now on their way to the hotel." Xia Shiyu replied.

"Then let ’s do this first."

Just finished, Jiang Chen hung up the phone and turned his attention to Kerwin.

"Has the nuclear fusion generator set been sent to the moon colony?"

“Yes, one of the nuclear power generators has been put into use in the newly built power station, replacing solar energy to power the moon colony. To meet the needs of nuclear power plants, we need to build a heavy water plant to produce fusion reaction needs. Deuterium. "

"This is not in advance, I need you to prepare a report and send it to me by tomorrow afternoon."

"Report? What report?" Kerwin looked at Jiang Chen in confusion.

"Regarding the transportation cost of the space elevator, I need you and your team to make an accurate assessment. We will use it for tomorrow's negotiations." (To be continued.)
