Chapter 1589 The sky-high tower is rising

At an altitude of 36,000 kilometers, on an astronomical observation space station, because a man wearing a white work shirt is standing in front of a thick porthole glass, looking out at the distance Deep starry sky.

There, there are more than ten towering starships parked.

With a thick and long robotic arm stacking the reinforcing steel skeletons to the correct position, engineering drones stopped out of the cabin and entangled the scale like a firefighting Fire Insect. The magnificent outline, and the trajectory that flew up and down flashed with faint but ignorable electric sparks.

The space segment of the entire space elevator is taking shape at a speed visible to naked eyes.

Every hour when I do a space station, I will take a high-resolution photo of that space station, pick two photos together, and I can obviously feel the difference between each other. .

“It seems they are real.”

The man who said this is called Field, and it was a mission sent by the North American Space Agency to reside here recently. Observer.

Since this is the closest synchronous orbiting space station in North America to the space elevator construction site, a week ago, the scientific research mission here changed from observing distant stars to observing construction sites for Asians.

“Otherwise? Even if it’s for the trillions of budgets, they don’t make sense of it.”

Walking to the field, Johnny handed it over. A bag of coffee for him.

“Would you like some coffee?”

“Thank you.”

After taking the coffee bag from Johnny, Field pulled it out of the bag. Plastic straw, bite the straw and take a hard sip.

Looking at the construction site outside the porthole, Johnny said in a chatty tone.

“Speaking of which, you are a space engineering professional.”

“Yes, before I joined the NASA, I worked for the SpaceX Group for a while. “

” Really? From a professional perspective, at what stage do you think their construction site has reached? “

Looking at the starry sky outside the porthole, Field thought for a moment. After that, a sentence was given.

“Just inferring from experience, they probably are still building the main beam of the space station.”

After hearing this, Johnny’s eyebrows were raised, and his eyes turned unexpectedly. A glance at him.

“Such a big girder?”

Although his major is not aerospace engineering, he has worked on this observatory space station for so many years, and he still knows his working environment. It’s more understandable.

At least in his impression, he never heard of which space station would repair such a long main beam.

In order to keep the center of gravity relatively stable on the orbit, most space stations will be designed in a flat shape to minimize the length in the axial direction of gravity as much as possible.

“That’s right …” Obviously I thought of this too. As a professional Field expression grave ground nodded, continued, “From the length of the main beam, the volume of this space station is at least It’s more than double the Tianzhou. ”

Otherwise, you don’t need such an exaggerated main beam.

And not only that, there is one other word he didn’t say, but it has been planned to write on the observation report.

What surprised him most was not the length of the main beam, but the position of the entire main beam relative to the outline of the space elevator.

After working for so many years, I have seen a lot of space stations, but this is the first time he has seen such a strange design.

Although he hasn’t seen the blueprint in the space section of the space elevator, he intuitively told him that those Pan-Asian people might be building something extraordinary.

“Gyro-type space station?”

“Do they … intend to use centrifugal motion to balance the mass change of the space elevator and to counteract gravity’s pull on the center of gravity?”

The pupil narrowed slightly, his mouth murmured softly.

“… how is this possible.”

It is almost impossible to do such things, including the load of the space elevator cargo compartment, the speed of movement, solar wind, atmospheric air A series of influences, including these, may cause the center of gravity of the space elevator to change.

This tests not only the information processing ability, but also the strength of the material and the ability to control the machine.

If they can really do it …

It can only be said that this is too incredible.

Just as Field and the North American Space Agency were dazzled by the large construction site of the space elevator in space and sky, it was far below 36,000 kilometers at sea level. , Is rolling turbulent waves.

Just a few hours ago, this Sea Territory had a heavy rain, but the blowing wind did not cool the one after another heart that was boiling.

On the roaring waves, there are more than twenty One hundred thousand tonnage engineering ships. Looking up from a distance is like a floating fortress.

Each of them is designed for the construction of large ports with a throughput of more than 1 billion tons, but now they are all far away from their familiar coastline and come to this endless sea level on.

At this time, their mission is not just to build a port, but to build a steel island here and build a city on this island.

Holding Telescope in his hand and looking at the distant sea level line, East Asia Heavy Industry’s Chief Wang engineer’s mouth evoked a smile, and said ten thousand zhang politely.

“If this project is successfully delivered, it will become a milestone in the history of human engineering!”

Standing next to him, another East Asian Heavy Industry Academy-level expert, haha said with a smile.

“Do you still want to say this? The whole space elevator goes from a height of 36,000 kilometers to our feet, which inch structure is not a miracle in human history!” The space elevator should be built from the sky, but Academician Lu gave a completely different suggestion.

That is to say, the space section and the sea level section are constructed at the same time. And after the completion of the two parts of the project, the part from the sky and space began to advance to the ground, connecting the synchronous orbit and the sea level like a long sword into the sheath.

After this proposal was put forward, it was immediately adopted. East Asian Heavy Industries’ engineering ships also emerged from the nest. Almost all the capacity deployed at sea level was concentrated in this area.

At this time, a staff member trot came to the bridge, stopped next to Engineer Chief Wang, and said excitedly.

“All the engineering ships have reached the target area! Engineer Chief Wang, is it time for us to proceed to the next step!”

The smile on his face is getting brighter.

Putting down the Telescope in his hand, the expression on Chief Wang’s engineer’s face was slightly adjusted, and he said with a strong voice.

“All engineering ships are prepared-”

“Under anchor!”

With a chain of irons hitting the bottom of the sea, the fish school was disturbed Scattered and fled.

With the rumbling of the engine, heavy engineering equipment began to work at sea level.

From the sky to the sea level, from this moment on, the industrial machine called Pan-Asian Cooperation entangled on the ground was completely mobilized, and people in this century issued almost Never heard of roar.

That’s a neat and uniform voice when a group is determined to do one thing.

The sound does not pass through air as a medium, but it sounds through everyone’s heart.

At this moment, its industrial capabilities have reached its limit, even breaking through the margins of people’s imagination, is turning the impossible into possible.

Perhaps, as in the triumphal ceremony, a great man destined to leave a name in history announced to them.

They are people who are cared for.

They bear on the future of human civilization and the community of human destiny.

At the same time, this is exactly the “fate” of the ancestors inscribed in their cultural blood.

At the time when the construction of the space elevator was in full swing, when people’s enthusiasm was completely ignited by iron and electricity, the academic world was also brewing an exciting rainstorm.

In the third week after the Fire Day celebration, Lu Zhou suddenly published a public proposition on LSPM and made a solemn promise at the end of the proposition.

If someone can solve this proposition he put forward, or make outstanding achievements in this field, he will personally present him the Lu Zhou Science Award.

It is up to you to give awards under your own name.

Although this sentence sounds weird, and even has some suspicions of boasting, but no one thinks there is anything wrong with it.

Even even …

Whether it is the mathematics or Physics, the enthusiasm of all scholars has been ignited.

The Lu Zhou Science Award, presented by Lu Zhou himself, has never been so honored in history.

In the face of this honor, even the huge bonus was overshadowed.

After all, he is Lu Zhou.

The man who is said to be standing on the pinnacle of human mind …

When the news spread, the entire academic community was crazy about it …

Khan, the manuscript almost dropped and scared me to death
