There was a burst of extremely joyful laughter, enough to give Green Trueman the feeling of being there.

Because not everyone can understand the jokes in Tim Cook’s words, especially the users from the ancient Eastern countries who are the most present.

The reason for the laughter is that when Tim Cook was still the CEO of Apple, he criticized the extremely slow bureaucracy of many federal agencies, including NASA and the FBI, more than once.

Therefore, in Green Trueman's view, the environmental feedback at the scene was calculated, because he believed that the vast majority of people at the press conference at this time should be Chinese. This is probably because they obtained the wrong information but made the correct judgment.

typical example.

All environmental feedback was indeed calculated, but there was actually no audience at the press conference.

He didn't even know that given the extensive and profound Chinese writing, the term "super fast shooter" could easily make many people laugh.

…

"Well, everyone knows that we launched a rocket and sent an object to geosynchronous orbit. You can ask NASA where exactly it was sent, because they gave detailed coordinates. The coordinates look complicated, but I believe

It’s not a problem for the majority of astronomy enthusiasts. So now the question is what exactly do the things we send there do.”

"First of all, I want to tell you that it is of course not a satellite. Although it does have electrified equipment inside, such as a small quantum brain installed under heavy protection and can be connected to our 6G network, it has nothing to do with satellites.

. Some people on the Internet even think that it is a strange-looking spy satellite. Well, with all due respect, I almost doubt whether this is an Internet age."

"At least I have never heard of anyone putting a spy satellite into geosynchronous orbit. Some people also say that it may be a space building. In fact, this is very interesting. Because there may indeed be an outer space building in that area in the future.

A building, a building in the true sense that goes beyond the space station. But unfortunately, this statement is still wrong, because what is floating there at this time is not a building."

"So what exactly is it? In fact, many times the correct answer is people's first impression, but everyone can't believe it. Yes, it is an anchorage. If the word is more accurate, it is a space anchorage. Its

The task is to determine a coordinate and a fixed point for a large project in the future."

Having said this, Tim Cook snapped his fingers, and a holographic simulation of space immediately appeared at the front desk of the press conference.

There are three moving spheres in the simulated scene, marking the positions of the earth, moon and sun.

There is also a clear black spot somewhere on the outer reaches of the Earth.

Tim Cook snapped his fingers again, and the black dot began to gradually enlarge. First, the sun disappeared from the display, and then the moon disappeared. When only the earth spinning alone was left, the appearance of the anchorage could finally be seen. Around the anchorage

Scattered satellites also appeared, slowly rotating with the earth.

When the space anchorage is enlarged, its 3D shape is more clearly displayed in front of everyone.

"This is the space anchorage we sent into geosynchronous orbit. As I just said, this is a coordinate, and it is to fix a certain project in the future. What kind of project is this? The ladder project! Yes, our ultimate

The goal is to build the tallest elevator in human history. Its starting point is somewhere on the surface of the earth and its end point is where the space anchor is at this time."

"I know that everyone wants to know more details about this project. So I would like to invite Mr. Wang Yufei, the chief designer of our ladder project and the chairman of Yuxin Technology, who I respect very much, to explain to you this epoch-making ladder.

plan."

…

After Tim Cook finished speaking, the virtual scene went silent for about ten seconds.

Probably no one has realized what the ladder plan mentioned by Tim Cook is, and it is indeed bizarre.

As many foreign experts have judged before, Yuxin Technology has never clearly exposed its intentions for space. Even though Yuxin Technology has built many laboratories by itself, it also cooperates with many universities to build laboratories that may involve the space field.

Some technologies, but many technology companies will have similar technical reserves.

Who would have thought that such a grand plan would suddenly be revealed today.

Ladder plan?

Can we reach space from the earth by taking an elevator?

Is this a step too big?

…

The silence lasted until Tim Cook's figure gradually faded, and Wang Yufei walked into the center's podium, and applause once again ignited the audience.

Actually I can understand it.

Wang Yufei has already surpassed an idol status for young people in China who love technology.

He has single-handedly changed the Internet and IoT landscape of the entire world.

In a market environment where IOS, Android, and Windows dominate the world, Live Life relies on Xin System to dominate the world's operating system market. The slogan of "One World, One System" back then still makes countless teenagers excited.

.

Of course, the slogan is simple to shout, but difficult to implement.

But now Xin System has done it.

It not only unifies mobile phones and computers, but also unifies vehicle systems and smart home systems.

Not to mention that almost all innovations in this era are difficult to break away from the company he founded.

When we first enjoyed technology, we had brain-computer chips, Xin systems, solid-state super batteries, as well as virtual idol groups and entertainment translators that influenced almost all young people.

After the split, Yuxin Technology launched quantum brain and strong artificial intelligence that changed the world's computing power pattern.

There is also "The Eighth Continent" developed by Yu Xiaoe Game Company, which is co-founded by Little Li Baba and Penguin Group. All of these have directly changed the life style of the new generation of Chinese young people, and at the same time, it also made the founder of Yuxin Technology

Wang Yufei has become the idol of many young people.

Coupled with Wang Yufei's age and usually low-key style, he rarely appears in the media, so every appearance at a product launch naturally arouses the excitement of countless users.

In today's situation, let's not talk about whether it is a ladder or not. The mere presence of people is worthy of warm applause at this moment.

…

"Thank you! Thank you everyone!"

A simple thank you was heard, and the scene immediately fell silent.

This is probably one of the benefits of holographic virtual technology. There is no need to wait for the atmosphere of the scene, but you can freely control the atmosphere of the scene.

"Thank you also, Mr. Cook, for your introduction just now. Mr. Cook just briefly introduced our ladder plan. Here I will also explain to you in detail what the ladder plan is."

"As Mr. Cook said just now, our sky ladder project is to build an elevator that goes directly from the surface of the earth to the anchorage in space. The significance of the existence of this space ladder is to greatly reduce the cost of human space transportation, whether it is manned

It can still carry cargo. At the same time, we will also build a large space building near the space anchorage, which will have dual attributes of scientific research and vacation."

"From a scientific research perspective, this space building will replace the current space station and help scientists more conveniently understand the various reactions of various materials in space; the vacation attribute is the first time in human history that any ordinary person can

People provide the service of overlooking the earth from outer space. Of course, these are our future plans after the successful construction of our space elevator. So what exactly does our space elevator look like?"

At this point, Wang Yufei waved his hand, and the holographic three-dimensional image summoned by Tim Cook dissipated directly, replaced by a complete virtual model of the space ladder, with one end connected to the earth and the other end with two buildings towering in space.

buildings in.

"This is the overall picture of the future space elevator in the design. It mainly consists of four parts. The part on the earth is our space elevator ground base."

After the words fell, the three-dimensional diagram began to change again, and the Lusha Island project appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

There was a sound of inhalation from the audience...

Obviously many people have recognized this island that has become extremely popular due to Yuxin Technology.

When Yuxin Technology was carrying out construction projects on this island, it also caused countless speculations. Today, the truth of all this has finally come to light.

Who would have thought that what was being built on Lusha Island would be the starting point from the earth to space in the future. This can explain why Yuxin Technology spent huge sums of money on this island.

"As you can see, the center of this island will be the starting point of our space ladder in the future. From the center to the four corners of the island, there are the four cabins of this ladder. These four cabins are two by two.

The group has two cargo warehouses, which are responsible for transporting cargo up and down, and two manned cabins. Whether it is a cargo warehouse or a manned cabin, when one side of the cabin moves toward space, the other side of the cabin moves downward simultaneously. And in the same direction

This cycle repeats itself. This is currently the most energy-saving design.”

"According to precise calculations, when the cargo cabin is fully loaded, we only need 3 million US dollars to transport 600 tons of cargo from the ground to geosynchronous orbit. This is less than one thousandth of the cost of transporting the same materials and people to the same location now.

As for the manned capsule, it is even more economical. Our manned design can take 300 people to space when fully loaded. The one-way trip only takes about 50 hours and the cost is also about one million US dollars. But for space travel

For customers, they can enjoy the beautiful scenery of space without undergoing intensive training on the ground."

"Of course, the above cost calculation does not deduct the cost of building the space ladder. I believe everyone knows that the ladder itself is an extremely huge investment."

…

Green Trueman stared blankly at Wang Yufei talking on the stage.

He finally understood why Yuxin Technology was so short of money.

Even though he has used various covert methods to transport hundreds of billions of dollars in cash and facilitated tens of billions of dollars in orders, Wang Yufei is still full of desire for money, which has puzzled him for a long time.

After all, as long as Wang Yufei has enough patience and Yuxin Technology relies on those technology patents and works steadily, sooner or later it will be able to make more money. There is no need to be so eager for funds in the short term.

Now everything is clear.

If he was in charge of such a project, he would probably work hard to get money, right?

Although he has not been exposed to this project, let alone the budget of this project, but such a crazy idea to build a project from the earth to space, if it were so officially announced by other companies, even Elon Musk's Space Exploration Company

He would just think it must be an April Fool's Day joke.

Because this is not a project that can be started just by having an idea.

The technical content is unimaginably high.

It not only requires theoretical guidance, but also may encounter countless problems in practice, which requires countless money to solve these problems.
