Chapter 90 Site Selection of Artificial Island
The Guardian Alliance of Humanity immediately announced this news to the world. In the next twenty years, it will become the most important international organization in the world today!
"After serious consideration and discussion from countries around the world, we decided to establish a coalition of guardians of all mankind on March 3 to deal with the crisis of the death planet hitting the earth..."
"We promise that we will do our best to carry out unconditional cooperation and cooperation in science and technology, materials, personnel, etc. to save us humans ourselves! Save human civilization!"
"We agree that individuals, groups and forces that hinder the construction of various super engineering for various reasons will be subject to joint sanctions from all members..."
This is an unprecedented regulation, a comprehensive cooperation between economy and technology. As soon as the news was released, it shocked the world!
The Chinese people naturally applauded and celebrated one after another.
"congratulate!"
"It's finally established, and it's been arguing for two months! If the argument continues, the Shen Shenxing will arrive at their doorstep!"
"I feel relieved when I see Du Xingyu as the general counselor of the international community!"
"Wait quickly, otherwise I will have no motivation to do things every day, and I always feel that the world is going to be destroyed!"
...
In other countries, mainstream voices are also celebrating and praising, and the agreements between countries have begun.
Scientists from all over the world have begun to exchange knowledge and technology. Some people say that mankind has achieved unprecedented unity. Regardless of success or failure, this will be a great era!
"We are witnessing history with our own eyes!" Experts and scholars from all over the world have mobilized.
For the first time, major international companies did not aim for profit, gave up unnecessary competition and began project cooperation!
With so many super projects to be built, Du Xingyu is also unable to do anything.
Fortunately, experts from all over the world are communicating and discussing, gathering top elites from various fields. It took more than half a month to deal with the "Fallen God Star Crisis Response Plan" finally begins to be officially implemented.
"The space elevator in the first part of the plan is the top priority and a prerequisite for the smooth implementation of other parts!" Du Xingyu and Chinese experts and scholars stayed in the video conference room, and elites from all over the world were also present.
"Without space elevators, the projects behind us are difficult to carry out. The cost of using rockets and spacecraft to send supplies and personnel into space is too high and the efficiency is too low!"
“So we have to build a space elevator in the shortest time!”
A physics expert immediately spoke: "The length and thinness of the space elevator are extremely large, and may reach the order of 10,000. If it is made into a compressed structure, it will be crushed by its own weight. Therefore, we can only make a tension structure and use the centrifugal force of the earth's rotation to maintain its main structure."
"In this way, the overall axis of the space elevator should point to the center of the earth. In order to keep the axis perpendicular and provide continuous tension for the elevator cable, the projection of the space elevator should be on the equator. We must first select the location of the space elevator ground station on the equator!"
Everyone has no objection to this. The most scientific method is to build a space elevator on the equator.
Immediately another meteorological expert said: "The climate in the site selection area should meet the annual wind speed below two levels, and there are no cloud clusters that may produce thunderstorms, such as cumulonimbus clouds, and stay away from various pressure zones and monsoon circulation."
Geological experts suggested: "Considering the cable breakage, the site selection area should avoid human gatherings or migrate local human gatherings. At the same time, the local crust should be in a stable state. The equatorial area east of the Sun boundary and west of the American continent is more suitable for site selection..."
"I suggest building an artificial island near Zengmu's dark sand at the southernmost end of the southern waters of China." China's experts suggested, "This place is closest to the equator, the climatic conditions are met, and we can reclaim the sea and land at the fastest speed!"
"I think the southern waters of India are also good!" said an Indian expert.
"You can also choose a site in the Pacific!" American experts suggested.
Everyone knows that this space elevator will be an important space hub in the future, and its importance exceeds that of the Strait of Malacca! Which country is built in, which country will benefit from it!
Moreover, the construction of the first space elevator will undoubtedly determine the election of the Supreme Speaker of the Guardian League of Humanity in two years. Everyone wants to get this opportunity!
Du Xingyu spoke: "I advocate building in China. Other places cannot quickly build artificial islands in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. We are in urgent need of time. In the southern waters of China, we can ensure the fastest speed of artificial island construction and the ground station of space elevators!"
As soon as he spoke, it was difficult for other representatives to find reasons to refute. Du Xingyu was talking about the facts. If he wanted to complete the fastest, he would have to have the Huaxia Infrastructure Team!
All parties also need to discuss this matter with senior officials of various countries.
Taking advantage of this time, Du Xingyu began to perfect the simulation of space elevators on the technology simulator.
"The main structure of the space elevator is designed, a ground station located at the equator."
A model of a ground station appeared in Du Xingyu's mind.
"Then there are cables made of special materials." On the ground station, a cable with a field of more than 36,000 kilometers was pulled up!
"If you want to straighten the cable, you need to have a synchronous orbit station and a counterweight with a high orbit on the Earth's synchronous orbit. The Tiangong Space Station can be used as a synchronous orbit station, and the counterweight is a bit troublesome."
Du Xingyu thought to himself that they could not waste resources to launch large-scale objects into high orbits as counterweights, so counterweights must have their own functions.
"Turn directly use the near-Earth spaceport as a counterweight, killing two birds with one stone!" In Du Xingyu's vision, humans need three spaceports, one near-Earth spaceport, one lunar spaceport, and one Mars spaceport.
Near-Earth spaceport can be used as a high-track counterweight for space elevators, and its mass is completely sufficient!
"In addition, the space elevator also needs a car with a load capacity, which is a good design." Du Xingyu only needs to be responsible for overcoming difficulties. It should be easy to hand over the designs like car to experts of the Human Guardian Alliance.
"Invest one million energy points and start the simulation of the ground station!" Du Xingyu consumed energy points. This recent major event in contact has allowed him to accumulate a lot of energy points, so he doesn't have to worry about not enough in a short period of time.
In the simulation of the ground station, Du Xingyu obtained a lot of information sent by the Chinese engineering team. They had rich experience in building artificial islands. If they directly entered the data, the research and development progress exceeded 50%.
The remaining difficulty is how to fix the cable.
"The area of the ground station must be at least 2,000 square meters. As a transportation hub for the earth's space, it also needs to be equipped with seaports, airports and other facilities, so I don't need to consider these." Du Xingyu improved step by step.
"To fix the cable and keep it vertical, then a super tower needs to be built on the ground station, and the tower is used as an anchor to fix the cable..."
"Invest 100,000 energy points to simulate a tower!" In Du Xingyu's mind, a tower simulation appeared on the ground station.
Chapter completed!
