"According to the latest statistical data, the number of users at home and abroad who watched the live broadcast on that day exceeded 500 million, setting the highest number in the history of live broadcast."

"There are many video websites now wanting to buy the rights to broadcast the space elevator live broadcast."

Binjiang City.

Longhu High-tech Park.

In the office, Xu Lei listened to Chen Shihe's report and nodded with satisfaction: "We originally planned to open the live broadcast on all platforms. Since they took the initiative, let's send someone to contact them."

"But one thing to remember is that the cost cannot be spared. Who knows that we need money right now." As soon as he finished speaking, he did not forget to give special instructions.

The first day of live broadcast was basically a trial broadcast.

Only through future technology-related technical products can you directly enter the live broadcast room.

But in this case, the number of viewers exceeded 500 million, which really proves that many people have no resistance to this kind of super project.

Especially mostly boys.

Many people even simply hang up in the live broadcast room, and the online time is equivalent to the live broadcast time.

If we can really persist for a few months and a year, it is estimated that a new world record will be set.

In addition, this live broadcast alone increased Xu Lei's influence by hundreds of thousands, which is enough to determine that he can gain influence through publicity.

So we must open the entire network to live broadcast, so that more people can see this live broadcast.

As for domestic video platforms like Penguin, they are not fools. Seeing that the live broadcast of the space elevator can bring so much popularity, it is like a cat smelling fishy smell, how could it be indifferent.

It is quite normal to choose to negotiate broadcast rights.

The key point is that this is different from traditional live broadcasts of sports events. It will take at least nine months before the space elevator is completed, so the stability of the entire live broadcast can be guaranteed.

There will be no emergencies and the live broadcast will be suspended.

The active user group brought about is of immeasurable value to the platform.

Xu Lei has no psychological burden at all by harvesting some wool from these companies. Although there is no shortage of money to build a space elevator with future technology, as a project of profound strategic significance, domestic companies should provide some money to fund it.

It can be expected that once the live broadcast room is launched on major video platforms, the number of viewers who flock to the live broadcast room will increase, and the influence will inevitably show a new upward trend.

If Xu Lei was still worried about whether this way of gaining influence was feasible before, now he is completely confident.

Even if the subsequent growth rate may decline, a lot can still be accumulated in one year.

What's more, the day when the space elevator is officially put into operation will be the time when its influence will be most explosive.

Facing Xu Lei's arrangement, Chen Shihe naturally had no objections and responded immediately.

"It's Mr. Xu, I will give them instructions."

After saying these words respectfully, he turned around and walked outside without staying too much in the office.

Until Chen Shihe's figure disappeared from sight, Xu Lei turned his attention to Xingtong next to him and asked: "Is there any action overseas?"

Future Technology provides 24-hour live broadcasts to the world, and there is such a big battle just after the Landing Island was built. No matter how stupid the overseas parties are, they will probably have some doubts.

I began to believe that future technology could create a space elevator.

In order to ensure their leadership in the aviation field, they will surely take corresponding measures.

All Xu Lei could think of was launching an attack on Dengtian Island.

But with Xingtong here, it will become a very simple matter to grasp their specific movements, and countermeasures can be taken in advance at any time.

When that time comes, Xu Lei doesn't mind doing something big.

But the answer Xingtong gave him immediately made him a little surprised.

"Nothing found yet."

"Their energy is still focused on the launch mission."

After Xingtong responded quickly, he then added: "Boss, do you need me to conduct a detailed scanning investigation?"

Things went as Marsne expected. After Hayden finished talking with him and returned to Washington to report to the general, Tripp really chose to take another gamble.

The space elevator cables developed by future technology cannot support the operation of the elevator.

So in the end no specific plan was made.

At the same time, he also secretly prepared another implementation plan. If the space elevator really becomes a reality, then he will find a way to propose the formation of a human space alliance, and all members of the alliance will be able to use the space elevator to conduct space exploration and experimental missions.

But I have to say that Tripp made a right choice. If he really attacks the future technology space elevator project, they will definitely suffer in the end.

Unless you choose to launch a nuclear bomb and destroy the world.

After hearing Xingtong's suggestion, Xu Lei quickly raised his hand and said, "That's not necessary. It seems that the other party is expecting us to fail."

"That's okay, then I'll give them a surprise when the time comes." After saying that, Xu Lei couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "I hope they won't be frightened."

In the following time, Xu Lei was not idle either.

After settling the matter of the live broadcast, he took Xingtong to the research center laboratory.

He has handed over the construction and tower design drawings of Dentian Island to Liu Gaowen, and with the large number of experts in related fields gathered there, there will be no problem in completing the ground station.

After all, he still trusts Liu Gaowen.

As for the space agency, according to the information provided by Wu Chuping, they have now started assembling the cornerstone modules of the space port.

It will then be launched into space via a launch vehicle and reach the designated low-Earth orbit.

It can be said that both above and below, the main construction is on track. Only the most critical cable in the middle has not made any progress. Even the required carbon nanotube materials have not been synthesized, let alone the production of a cable with a length of 40,000.

Kilometers of cable.

Under this situation, Xu Lei had to take action and speed up the research progress on the cable.

…

"Dean, you are here."

In the Materials Laboratory of the Research Center, Gu Sanlin, who was busy, stopped what he was doing when he saw Xu Lei coming over, and greeted Xu Lei expectantly.

"Are we going to conduct research experiments on cable materials?"

These days, Gu Sanlin has been busy with the materials needed for the tower, but he has always been thinking about the development of cables.

As a top expert in the field of materials, he is undoubtedly very excited about developing a material that can be used as a space elevator cable.

Because this is the best proof of your own strength.

certainly.

If Gu Sanlin were to complete this project by himself, the result would definitely be failure.

Gu Sanlin also knew this.

But with Xu Lei personally leading the team, the situation will be completely different.

Gu Sanlin believed that Xu Lei could develop this cable material, so that he could learn some deeper knowledge in the process.

Now that the tower is basically stable, the purpose of Xu Lei's search is self-evident. It must be related to the cable. How could Gu Sanlin not be excited?

Xu Lei naturally understood Gu Sanlin's mood at this time, so he did not deliberately hide anything at this time. He nodded and admitted directly: "You are right, the ground station and the space port are currently under construction in full swing. Let's

We really need to improve the progress of the cables.”

"Very good."

"I can't wait to see this special material come out."

After receiving Xu Lei's confirmation, Gu Sanlin said this with some uncontrollable emotions.

He did not hide the excitement on his face.

Next, I saw him quickly walking to a piece of equipment, calling out the content inside and speaking: "Dean, look at this, I have prepared dozens of carbon nanotube synthesis plans in the past few days. We can proceed in sequence.

Conduct synthesis experiments.”

After hearing what Gu Sanlin said, Xu Lei moved his eyes to the light screen that appeared in front of him, and his eyes suddenly showed surprise.

Among Gu Sanlin's alternative synthesis plans, they include single-walled nanotubes, double-walled nanotubes, as well as metallic and non-metallic nanotubes. It can be said that the types are very wide and detailed.

It shows that he has really put a lot of effort into this aspect.

Even Xu Lei felt that even without the technical knowledge he gained from the Science and Technology Museum, Gu Sanlin might be able to develop cable materials that could be used in a space elevator with his own talent and ability.

However, due to the difference between the technical knowledge in the mind and the level of the real world.

If Xu Lei wants to find a cable material that can be perfectly used in a space elevator, he needs to conduct experiments first, make corresponding materials according to these synthesis plans, and then test its various properties to select the perfect synthesis plan.

Although there are still many omissions in Gu Sanlin's alternative plans, they also contain most of them.

But it is obvious that this method will take a lot of time and the cost of trial and error will be relatively high.

If this material cannot be developed and passes various tests within the expected time, it will inevitably affect the normal main body construction of the space elevator.

By then, both the ground station and the spaceport have been completed, leaving only the cable that has yet to be put in place, and the function of the space elevator still cannot be realized.

At the same time, the outside world's recognition of the strength of future technology will be greatly reduced.

Maybe according to the current way of growth of influence, the influence will come to a standstill.
