The world-famous Time magazine has launched a special issue, and the cover is the ladder leading directly to space on Penglai Island!
"So far! The greatest super project in human history has been born!" This is a comment written by the editor-in-chief of Time magazine.
In the report, they described in detail the construction and test drive of space elevators.
"It is undeniable that although it is the power of the aggregate world, Chinese enterprises and scientists play the most important role in the design and manufacturing of space elevators! This is a great creation that human engineering history is!"
"The road to space has been paved, it is on Penglai Island in China!"
"It's really built!" Internationally, countless people were celebrating and cheering.
"Huaxia is so amazing. I always thought that space elevators could not be built. I didn't expect it to be only two years!" The island netizen sighed.
"Such a great project is not ours from the United States." American netizens were shocked and felt a little regretful.
"I want to go to Penglai Island in person!"
“What would it be like to take an elevator into space?”
When Europeans saw this news, people were incredible, "The space elevator in the east has been built!"
"They are so great, this is a feat that goes beyond national borders!"
"The first step of Du Xingyu's plan has been realized, and he will save us! Amen!"
Videos of space elevator transportation have exploded in the world's network and have become the most popular and most liked and commented video in the world in history.
The data from various countries is difficult to count, but Du Xingyu knows one thing: the energy point in his technology simulator soared by one billion points in one day!
The successful operation of the ladder finally allowed all mankind to see a glimmer of hope for the crisis of the God-Death Star. The negative people once again surged their confidence.
According to research institutions, one month after the news of the Ladder was broadcast, the suicide rate around the world decreased significantly, and the number of patients with depression and doomphobia began to decrease.

"The space elevator has been built. Next, we will increase the number of cars and shifts, and start to transport materials to build near-Earth spaceports, as well as the construction of the moon and Mars bases." Du Xingyu spoke at the meeting of the Guardian Alliance of Humanity.
"The construction of spaceports, lunar bases and Mars bases will be dominated by China, and all parties can cooperate with Southwest stocks."
Du Xingyu clarified the space construction plan in the crisis era, just like the United States led the construction of the International Space Station.
The current spaceport, lunar base and Mars base will also be built by China, and other parties will contribute money and efforts to obtain a certain amount of space.
There is no doubt that they have absolute dominance in this.
...
"If this continues, they will become leaders of the space age!" After the meeting, several major forces on Earth were quite dissatisfied.
"Yes, now the space elevator has been built in China. Tiangong Space Station and the near-Earth Space Port will also fly over them with the space elevators. The space-age transportation hub is completely controlled by them."
"They led the construction of the moon base and the Mars base..." These powerful men from the old era were worried.
They have foreseeed that in the foreseeable future, Eastern civilization will be the first to enter the space age and be ahead of everyone.
"This is also impossible. The crisis for all mankind is coming. If we do not cooperate like this, human beings will have a dead end."
Whether in Western Europe or North America, they are powerless about this. Within them, there are also a large number of capitalists and people who hope to cooperate with the East in exchange for the opportunity to survive in the asteroid crisis in twenty years.
"If you want to become a leader in a crisis era, the only opportunity now is to master controllable nuclear fusion technology!" All parties have thought that controllable nuclear fusion technology will be the only technological authority to "create the gods" in a crisis era!
Until now, the Human Guardian Alliance has not been able to select the highest commander. The reason is that all parties clearly realize that only those who control the controllable nuclear fusion technology can truly be qualified to lead all mankind through the crisis and survive!
"Spare no effort, even if you smash it, you must smash the controllable nuclear fusion technology. This is the moment of betting on fate!"
All parties have begun to fully develop controlled nuclear fusion.
Huaxia is naturally no exception. In order to develop controllable nuclear fusion technology, the Academy of Sciences has invested countless funds and resources in the Institute of Atomic Energy and the Institute of Nuclear Physics.
Whenever the materials are needed, they will be developed; when there is a promising model, they will be manufactured; when there is advanced foreign technology, they will be learned... This is the real research and development of the whole country!
Akimovich, a former Soviet physicist and father of Tokamak, once said: "When the entire society needs it, fusion will be realized."
Now, it is the time when all human beings need nuclear fusion technology!
But this is just the ideal situation. Although humans burst into crazy creativity under the crisis. Every few months, technical problems will be overcome, but it seems that they will always be a few decades away from controlling nuclear fusion technology!
At the Institute of Atomic Energy Research, Du Xingyu and a group of nuclear physics experts are discussing the construction of a new Tokamak device.
"Tritrile supply, production problems; radioactive problems; material problems; tokamak rupture problems; instability control problems; plasma survival time; optical damage; superconducting protection; first wall; repetition frequency... The difficulties we face can be said to be a hundred thousand mountains! When we study nuclear fusion, we are just going against the will of heaven!" Luo Yongzhen, a senior researcher at the institute, frowned deeply. Even the top experts in this field felt a deep sense of powerlessness at this moment.
No one knows when they will overcome one of the problems. And the most fatal thing is that sometimes studying one problem will lead to four or five new problems.
"Density, temperature and constraint time, these three key points are a summary of all the difficulties we encounter!" said Zhou Zi'ang, a gray-haired academician of the Academy of Sciences. "I think that building a larger ring tokamak device, at least ten times larger than the current Oriental Super Ring, can enhance magnetic constraint and temperature control capabilities, and have the opportunity to achieve stronger nuclear fusion reactions."
"Mr. Zhou, I don't agree very much." Everyone thought it was feasible, but Du Xingyu raised objections.
"What do you think? Tell me." Zhou Zi'ang looked at him.
"The super-large ring tokamak device can indeed improve the fusion reaction in theory, but it may only be increased from a few thousand seconds to tens of thousands of seconds, with limited improvement." Du Xingyu said, "Its construction requires too much time and capital. We are racing against time and must master nuclear fusion technology in the shortest time, otherwise when the Death Star arrives, everything will turn into dust!"
“So I suggest that you can try to build small spherical tokamak installations. Both cost and construction time will be reduced.”
"What you said makes sense, but now we don't have such materials at all. We can build super magnetic fields in small containers and accommodate nuclear fusion reactions." Zhou Zi'ang thought deeply.
"Using super-strong magnetic fields with superconductors, the current superconducting materials need to be around 130K to achieve. The high-temperature plasma temperature is more than 100 million degrees, and the superconductor needs to remain below zero by more than 100 degrees Celsius. This is too contradictory, unless we can find a normal temperature superconductor." said the researcher on the side.
"Not only is a normal temperature superconductor, even if the plasma is bound by a magnetic field, the high temperature generated by the plasma will also produce a high temperature of thousands of degrees Celsius on the inner wall of the Tokamak device; and the neutrons produced by nuclear fusion cannot be 100% isolated, and high-energy neutrons will also damage the superconducting coil..."
"For large tokamak devices, we can also make the Q value (energy output to input ratio) of nuclear fusion reaction greater than one. The spherical tokamak device you mentioned, I am worried that fusion will destroy the device in one second." Zhou Zi'ang said.
"What if I have a way to get a normal temperature superconductor?" Du Xingyu said suddenly.
