Deep Space Planet Leader

Zhang Yuan came to the train station without stopping.

A message was displayed on the mobile phone: "[Dahua Transportation] Dear passenger Zhang Yuan, your ticket has been successfully paid at 10:03. On July 14, 2264, the second-class seat of train number G888, East Hua (10:30)-Xisha (11:45), ticket number 781234..."

The time is almost up, Zhang Yuan boarded the train and found his seat.

A soft electronic tone sounded in the carriage: "This train is going to Xisha, and it takes one hour and fifteen minutes..."

The gray and black bridge across the sea is like a long dragon Recumbent on the sea. Modern carbon nanotube materials can even handle 36,000 kilometers of space elevators, even more how a small sea-crossing bridge on the ground.

These bridges can easily withstand Level 16 typhoons.

Traditional means of transportation, airplanes, will be eliminated instead. The fuel is not a big problem. Hydrogen fuel can be used to replace traditional fossil fuels. However, the carrying capacity of the aircraft and the operating cost are impossible compared to the maglev train.

In addition, the speed of the maglev train is close to that of the airplane, the fare is cheap, and it is very comfortable, and there is no tinnitus problem caused by air pressure, so the airplane gradually loses its competitiveness and is on the verge of being eliminated.

One hour later, a few vague shadows finally appeared on the blue sea level, which were fusion nuclear power plants.

The fusion nuclear power plant on the sea has a height of three hundred meters. Because of the huge heat dissipation, the surrounding white fog is all steamed water vapor. The distilled water will be collected and supplied to the city.

The Xisha Aviation City, located in the southernmost Sea Territory of Xia Country, had territorial disputes with surrounding small countries hundreds of years ago. Various incidents of detaining fishing boats and wiping out guns often occur.

However, the times are developing and society is progressing. With the rise of Xia Country, these shit disputes have all become clouds.

"Controllable nuclear fusion is really a good thing. 3 cents per kilowatt hour of electricity, how much cost can be reduced for industrial production? Other countries are playing an egg?"

This thing has an unfavorable feature: the larger the nuclear power plant, the more stable it runs, and the lower the cost of power generation. Coupled with the limitations of human technology, there is no way to miniaturize nuclear fusion devices, so every nuclear fusion power station is like a small mountain.

Nuclear fusion and space economy have made Xia Country the first country to eat crabs, earning a lot of money, so it’s okay to miss a little soup for the surrounding kids to drink. Territorial disputes are long gone. With Daoist with more assistance, without Daoist with few assistance, interest is the closest link between countries.

The train rushed past the nuclear power plant.

"Look, look! It's a space elevator!"

"Where?"

"It's the one...the hair is as thin "

Squinting, I can vaguely see a slender pillar towering over the sea of ​​clouds, like a kite string.

Under the sunlight, there is a shining sense of unreality.

High.

Too high...

Many people who saw a space elevator for the first time couldn't help but lie on the glass window to take pictures.

The legendary "Babylon Tower", a miracle in history, in this planet, there are 17 in total. In the next 30 years, it is expected to increase to more than 30.

Xisha Aviation City has the first space elevator "Tengyun" in human history. Its geographical location is about 300 kilometers from the equator. Keeping the space elevator at a slight slope can maximize the use of Earth's rotation force, so that the elevator has a greater carrying capacity.

After nearly a hundred years of development, Xisha is already an international city.

"Will it not collapse?"

"How is it possible? The principle is different. The space elevator relies mainly on tension, not pressure. Do you understand the tension of the rope? ?"

"Will terrorists hit this tower?" Those who have good things have their brains open, thinking wildly.

"...It is said that attacking the space elevator is equivalent to launching a nuclear war and will be subject to reciprocal retaliation. Xisha City has relatively strict security, with troops stationed nearby, and planes are not allowed to pass..."

"Brother, are you already in Xisha City? I just saw the dynamics of your circle of friends~~~"

At this time, sister-in-law's daughter Ye Qingqing called over, "You want Have you been in space? I really want to go to a space travel, but my parents want me to work-study to make money. I travel for 30,000 yuan a time, I earn the year of the monkey..."

She is almost envious. Up.

"Space travel, it’s not wonderful at all, I’m serious." Zhang Yuan said with a smile, "Study work-study first. You are under 18 years old. You can’t get a tourist visa at all. "

Applying for a visa is one thing, but getting a tourist quota is another.

The daily cargo volume of the space elevator is limited, so there are not many tourist places. Even if you spend money, you may have to trust the relationship. In which era, this thing of human affection and sophistication will not be completely eliminated.

As we talked, the speed of the train slowly stopped.

"Dear passengers, the terminal-Xisha has arrived, please bring your luggage and get off the train..."

The train arrived at the station, and the tourists watched excitedly The space elevator not far away, no matter where it is, as long as you look up, you can always see that stout pillar.

This kind of mighty power from technology and industry can fully arouse the national pride of Xia Country people. Almost all space elevators in the world have the technology and shares of Xia Country people in them.

I had more contact, Zhang Yuan didn't feel much, but each minding their own business rented an unmanned motorboat.

"hua!"

The motorboat was sailing fast in Xisha City, splashing water all over it.

Xisha City is like summer all year round, but the temperature in July is less than 30 degrees, anyway, it is much more comfortable than Donghua City.

This city is basically an artificial island. There are bridges between the islands and the islands. There are a lot of waterways below, and sometimes some tropical fish can be seen.

There was once a leader slapped his head and wanted to fill in these waterways and replace them with land to improve the efficiency of transportation. As a result, they met with unanimous opposition from the masses of people. The reason is that... they think motorboats are more fun. , Can attract tourism.

Facts have proved that the people are really right once. The omnipotent air track solves the traffic problem, and the water traffic really promotes the tourism industry.

"Dip...this service fee: 16 yuan."

Zhang Yuan got off the motorboat and came to the destination.

"I'm an Earth Era astronaut, can I report now?"

The service staff of the Deep Space Planning Bureau swiped his ID card, slightly laughed, and said, "Zhang Mr. Yuan, there are 19 days left for your vacation, and it’s too early. It’s not your turn to fly off yet."

"No...I just want to ask if I can live there. Where?"

The service staff said with a smile: "I'm sorry, if you arrive 3 days earlier, we will arrange accommodation for you. But now, it seems that there is no such arrangement."

"You may go to the university next door to see if there are vacant dormitories. I will help you get an astronaut certificate."

Zhang Yuan frowned, you can do it yourself Too early to be rejected. This kind of thing is normal, and the service staff just follow the rules.

"Well then, thank you."

"You are welcome!"

There are many aviation universities here, some of which are international schools. Enroll students all over the world. However, because of the summer vacation, most of the students are on vacation, and the university is empty.

Soon, Zhang Yuan saw the four gilded characters of "Xisha University". Since she looked more like a student, she was not hindered when she entered the school.

Zhang Yuan asked several people in a row before he went to the bottom of an office building, [Deep Space Foundation (Xisha University Branch)]

"Hello, I want to see Wang Zhong , Professor Wang."

"Do you have an appointment?"

"...There is no appointment."

"Sorry, there is no appointment. Professor Wang is very Busy."

As a last resort, Zhang Yuan could only take out the ultimate weapon, the astronaut certificate, and his father's ID card.

Although this kind of relying on father is very embarrassing.

"I'm Zhang Qiming's son, so I just said... Visit Professor Wang Zhong, can you?"

[hahahaha, I suddenly found that Benpu Street signed a contract, hurry up I made a glamorous cover to suppress my surprise. ]

[Also, who said that I can sign a contract with a hundred thousand words? ! (狗头)(狗头)]
