Chapter 96 Direct access to space!
"Report, the car is ready and can be started at any time!" the staff reported.
On Penglai Tower, hundreds of foreign engineers, designers, and construction workers were waiting nervously and expectantly.
All over the world, hundreds of millions of people are watching this live broadcast. This is the first phase of the super project of the "Fallen God Star Crisis Response Plan". The success of its operation determines the future destiny of mankind!
"Start up." Du Xingyu said decisively.
"Start the ladder!" The ladder operator pressed the button, and the car of the ladder began to rise.
At first, it was like a train, slowly climbing. After a few seconds, the acceleration of the climb began to gradually increase.
Everyone raised their heads and watched the ladder car get faster and faster. After rushing out of the tower more than ten kilometers high, the car is like a spaceship flying into space, reaching five kilometers per second, and it continues to climb!
Du Xingyu explained to the live broadcast camera: "The speed of the car comes from electric energy climbing. As the atmospheric resistance decreases, its final speed will reach 10 kilometers per second, which is about the same speed as our existing chemical energy rocket!"
"In one hour, the space elevator can reach the Tiangong Space Station from the ground!"
At this time, aerial photography of drones could no longer keep up with the speed of space elevators, and it was entirely dependent on the cameras and satellites included in the car to display its pictures.
The car passed through the clouds and climbed rapidly on the straight carbon nanotube cable. The director of the live broadcast room also deliberately switched to the perspective of the robot in the car, allowing the audience to experience it personally.
The surrounding clouds disappeared rapidly, and the outlines of the sea and the earth appeared in view. The feeling of rapid improvement made people feel a little breathless.
"I have rolled my eyes!"
"This is the real roller coaster! This is so exciting!"
“This elevator is more enjoyable than a plane!”
"Fellow Taoists, the era of ascension is coming!" The Chinese audience joked.
On the streets of a city in the United States, a group of marches were holding signs to protest.
"The God of Death is a scam!"
"The strong protest against space elevators is all fake!"
"We don't need super engineering, we just need to raise our wages!"
"Super project is a conspiracy Du Xingyu used to rule the world!"
The marchers shouted loudly, wearing custom parade T-shirts, with protest signs and patterns painted on their faces and bodies.
People of all countries are no longer surprised by this kind of thing. In fact, there are such crowds of people in more than one place and in every region.
They walked across the street and came to the bustling commercial square. The super large electronic display screen of the commercial square was broadcasting live the space elevator running.
The host said in English: "The space elevator has now climbed to an altitude of 17,000 kilometers. In another thirty minutes, it will officially arrive at the space station and send supplies into space!"
"That's a space elevator, are they built?" Someone in the parade said in surprise.
They saw that a cable connected the world and the space elevator was "climbing the sky"!
"It's so amazing!" Someone stopped and looked up at the big screen.
"Can they really finish it?" The procession gradually became a little bit different. Even the passing crowd looked at them with a look of fools.
"How long has it been, how could they be built?" The march advocate saw this and shouted loudly: "These are all fakes, computer special effects, don't believe it!"
"No, this is not a special effect!" A man shouted excitedly on the street.
Immediately, a reporter who followed the parade came to interview him and asked, "Do you believe in space elevators? Have they really been built and operated?"
"Of course!" said the man, "I am a construction designer. I went to Penglai Island with the company's visiting group three months ago, where the space elevator is."
"I saw with my own eyes that tens of thousands of Chinese workers and engineers from all over the world work together to design and manufacture this space elevator! I have never seen such a large construction scene in my life!"
"God, that's a miracle! You can't imagine, an elevator that goes straight to space! They can really do it! It's all true!"
"I have to tell you not to believe those stupid words. Someone is working hard for the crisis facing humanity, and we need to support them, not boycott and protest!"
"Nonsense!" The marchers wanted to stop him from continuing, but they did not expect to attract more opponents.
"You guys are real liars!" someone shouted.
"Yes, you march to ask for money. Do you dare to swear to God?"
"They did a great job, we all saw it! The space elevator is already running, and you don't need to boycott it!"
The situation slowly changed, and the marchers found that no one seemed to be on the same side as them.
Even in the parade, some people quietly left the sign of protest and mixed into the crowd.
The crowds of parades were getting smaller and smaller. Seeing this, the organizers quickly took people away. The parade was destined to end in failure!
"The height is 35,000 kilometers, and you are about to enter the Tiangong Space Station!" Penglai Tower, Du Xingyu and others have been waiting for 47 minutes. At this time, the car has entered low-Earth orbit and will reach the end point.
In the space station, the astronauts stationed in the station have been waiting for a long time.
The space elevator began to slow down. At the last distance, it slowly climbed to the end platform in the middle of the space station and stopped steadily.
"Report, this is the Tiangong Space Station. I am the Chinese astronaut Jian Lingying. The space elevator has arrived at the station! We are moving and unloading goods!" The astronauts controlled the robotic arms and transported the materials into the space station.
At the same time, three space loading and unloading robots were also controlled to exit the cabin and enter the space station.
Du Xingyu took a deep breath and said slowly: "I announced: The space elevator transportation mission has been successfully completed!"
"It's done!" In Penglai Tower, engineers shouted, and some foreign engineers even started singing and dancing.
"We're done!" All the construction workers of the ladder project cheered, and they completed the miracle in the history of human architecture!
They danced excitedly. In just one and a half years, they built an elevator to space, which can be played for the rest of their lives!
"Just just now, the super engineering project led by our country successfully completed the mission of transporting 50 tons of supplies and three robots into space! This marks the realization of the first phase of the super project of the "From God Star Crisis Response Plan"!"
"Humans will have transportation hubs that can freely enter and exit space, and we will use this to build more space equipment and facilities. At the same time, the second space elevator is also under construction..." The state television station immediately reported the news.
Chapter completed!
