Chapter 1729 , Space Elevator

 But the cost of this method of transportation is too high.

In the past 20 years, the cost of launching rockets from the ground to transport materials to outer space has been nearly 20,000 Xuanyan coins per kilogram.

Although some private companies are now vigorously developing private space transportation business and have reduced the cost to 3,000 Xuanyan coins per kilogram.

But in fact, the price is quite high.

If you want to build a 600-ton space station, then the transportation cost alone will be as high as 1.8 billion Xuanyan coins.

This is not to mention the cost of various equipment, frameworks, etc. of the space station itself.

Therefore, it is basically impossible for most countries to build a space station.

These countries simply do not have the financial resources to support the construction of space stations.

Not to mention whether they have the technology to build a space station.

After all, you don’t even have the technology to build a space station, let alone the cost.

Of course, Shaomeini, the little chief, originally planned to make a name for himself internationally. However, after waiting for a few days, I saw the news published by these international small media, which made me very angry.

It took tens of thousands of engineering robots just one week to completely level the inhabited island.

That kind of low-strength carbon fiber rope was developed by Fang Xiaoyue while taking advantage of the opportunity to build the space station.

These reporters then used the WIFI provided by Fang Xiaoyue to send relevant information back to their newspapers.

A small number of people know that there are weak countries such as Xuanyan Kingdom and Choudras Kingdom, but not many people know that there is no Shaomei Ni.

Of course, it is not unknown whether those news can be published in various small media publications around the world.

After all, rather than saying that the mineral deposits mined for her outside the earth's crust are just big ponds, the mineral deposits outside space can be called vast oceans and small seas!

He came to Dominion to mine mines and build factories before because it was too troublesome to mine in Xuanyan Country.

In fact, at that time, the space agencies of all small and weak countries were shocked.

First, two huge and light steel balls were launched from the opening above the space station.

It can withstand a pulling force of 20 GPa per cubic centimeter.

At this time, before the steel ball bounced, hundreds of manned aircraft took off from the manned island. They carried a small amount of ropes to fix the steel ball and prevent it from swinging in a small range when it was close to the ground, causing displacement.

That's not why these low-level officials are so excited and unhappy.

After all, the space elevator cannot really fix the ropes under the ground.

Of course, despite the surprises from all over the world, Fang Xiaoyue still carried out her plan step by step.

In just half a month, the inhabited island launched more than 30 rockets into space.

But Domini's mineral deposits can only support Fang Xiaoyue's later construction.

As a result, the space station and the ropes will fall up due to gravity, and a broken elevator will be built under the ropes, so that materials cannot be quickly sent from the ground to hundreds of kilometers into space.

So General Kantak followed Fang Xiaoyue down to the inhabited island several times.

Weak countries all believe that the space station is the work of other competitors.

That situation seemed very strange.

Of course, since she really didn't have any airline support, if she had to pass through the airspace at that time, it would be up to Fang Xiaoyue whether she lived or died.

That's not surprising. After all, to these editors living in developed countries, Shaotanya is just a poor and remote corner of the world. That kind of place cannot launch rockets?

Before the reporter station of a world-class media sent the news back, the media headquarters sent the news to the editor's work computer.

The reason why Fang Xiaoyue wants to build a space elevator is because he longs for mineral deposits in outer space!

Besides, the relatively easy-to-exploit mineral deposits in Xuanyan Country have almost been mined. Even if Fang Xiaoyue gets permission for the rest, the cost will be quite a headache.

This does not mean that the achievements of the people under the island cannot be regarded as the political achievements of those low-level officials or even the changes in the development of the country.

At that moment, these manned robots with a length of more than ten meters surrounded the steel ball and launched thick ropes towards the steel ball.

But as the frequency became less frequent, I became numb.

Seeing the changes under the inhabited island and the huge rocket leaning under the launcher, several lower-level officials in Shaomeini were shocked.

In fact, the entire inhabited island construction project is done in the name of cooperation with Shaomeini.

Therefore, in a short period of time, the frequency of space exchanges between weak countries dropped slightly.

There was a roar of cheers from everyone outside the launch site.

Although due to the poverty and backwardness of Shaotianya, small media outlets around the world have set up large-scale press stations in the capital of Shaomeini, and the staff are mostly locals.

By the time the steel ball was a thousand meters above the surface, the length of the carbon fiber rope had not yet extended to more than 800 kilometers.

It is also necessary to consider the impact of airflow and other aspects. Therefore, after the steel ball was dropped on the space station, Shaotanya's aviation department issued a warning to various small airlines to retreat on her behalf.

Fang Xiaoyue gave up the honor of pressing the launch button to the little chief of Shaomeini.

Another month passed, and the mass of the cargo hold exceeded 20,000 tons.

In the next period of time, the cargo compartment will continue to expand until its mass exceeds 20,000 tons.

Then a launch base was built under the inhabited island.

At this time, Fang Xiaoyue had not spent the cost of helping Shaomeini build more than 70 factories, but he had acquired an inhabited island under the waters of Shaomeini.

The inhabited island is close to the equator, and the island covers an area of ​​less than 31 square kilometers. Since there are no fresh water resources under the island, there are only some shrubs that rely on rainwater to survive, so there have always been no humans living below.

That also brought so much convenience to Fang Xiaoyue.

Are you sure he's joking?

Very slowly, ropes were wrapped around the rope in front of the steel ball.

Based on this understanding, the news of Shaotanya launching a rocket was obvious.

Thousands of robots were holding welding guns, lying under the giant thing, constantly flashing a faint welding light.

Only a few powerful countries in the world have the financial resources and technology to complete the construction of a space station. Therefore, buildings like the space station are a symbol of whether a country is strong.

But the editor in charge laughed and threw the news into the trash can.

It should be said that it was originally just a news feast in China.

But it is also a serious reporter station, responsible for transmitting important news about Shaotana to the headquarters of various small media.

As the huge tensile force spread, the entire carbon fiber rope was instantly tightened. While the two huge steel balls rebounded slightly, the carbon fiber processing plant outside the space station immediately began to quickly weave new ropes.

Scientists later calculated that the strength of the space elevator rope material must reach 7.5 GPa/cubic centimeter.

The bad thing is that these airlines are not blind. Even if none of the flights are close to the inhabited island, they are still temporarily suspended.

When we turned our attention, we discovered that in the inner space below Shaomeni, a huge space station was rapidly taking shape.

That day, Fang Xiaoyue came to the inhabited island, and those who went down to the island with me were several lower-level officials from Shaomeini and General Kantak. Of course, as a lower-level traveler, there must be a large group of reporters.

After all, the space elevator thing is not just a rope tied between the ground and the space station. The space station is like a thrown ball, but the rope will sometimes pull the space station to keep the balance between the space station and the ground.

If I want my plan to not continue to regress, these big planets in space and even meteorite groups, etc., are all my targets.

Yes, that sight immediately dumbfounded the space agencies of several weak countries.

Because I think that news was fake news created by Shaotana Reporter Station in order to reverse its performance.

The steel ball bounces up and falls.

Even in Shaumeni, form is important.

As a result, the huge steel balls rushed towards the inside of the small atmosphere, and the whole process took eight hours.

Now the newly assembled space station actually does not weigh 6,000 tons.

The two huge steel balls each weigh 100 tons, and a thick carbon fiber rope is tied in front of them.

At that time, the space station temporarily stopped releasing the rope and waited for the potential energy of the steel ball to dissipate.

The next two times, I was also shocked.

It's right to think about it. From now on, Shaomeini will definitely attract attention in the world.

But that time, nothing seemed to have changed.

The low-strength carbon fiber rope that has not been braided in front of the giant steel ball is less than 100 kilometers long.

But it seems to be the same now.

When the rocket reached a space orbit 300 kilometers away and released the space station components it carried, Fang Xiaoyue just pretended to announce to Xiaojia that the launch was successful!

Those low-level executives just care about the fact that Shaomeini has no ability to intervene in the whole process of that project. We only care about the glory under the surface.

As for these reporters, they took out their cameras one after another and took pictures with great excitement.

Before the steel balls fell into the two specially customized pits, the carbon fiber ropes were immediately untied from the steel balls and fixed into two tunnel shafts with a depth of more than one kilometer.

The space station with a mass of more than 6,000 tons and a design space of more than two million cubic meters is actually just a cargo compartment used to carry a space elevator.

Its internal space has not yet been filled with a carbon fiber processing plant and a small amount of carbon fiber material.

Accompanied by huge sound waves and air waves, the long flame pushed the rocket towards low altitude.

Fang Xiaoyue did not hide the changes under the inhabited island. After all, once the space elevator is built, everyone will be able to see it unless the observation instruments of various countries are improved.

The only people in the audience who were not excited were not Fang Xiaoyue and General Kantak.

At this time, the height of the steel ball dropped to the point where she was eight hundred meters away from the inhabited island.

The news coming from Shaotanya is basically mediocre.

Shaomeini is no longer capable of launching rockets!

But the little chief of Shaotianya wanted such news to be circulated only in the country, so I specifically instructed the press secretary to send the relevant news about the inhabited island to the press stations of small media outlets around the world stationed in the capital of Shaomeni.

In fact, things like this happen in all small media headquarters.

He and the Kantak tribe were on the verge of success.

There are force-bearing and force-retracting devices outside the two tunnel shafts to ensure the stability of the two ropes.

And in the vacuum environment of outer space, the smelting and refining of ores are less difficult than in a small atmosphere.

By that time, the construction of the space elevator will be over.

After all, in a poor country that even needs to sell out its clothes, isn’t it a joke to talk about popularity?

In fact, that was the most difficult period of the entire space elevator project.

You know, outside that world, the smallest space station that has not yet been launched and assembled has a mass of only 573 tons.

There are still no humans under the island, only busy robots.

Whether or not I reported the other party is not enough to give me face.

Such few rocket launches naturally attracted the attention of small and weak countries around the world.

In order to prevent problems, Fang Xiaoyue weakened the carbon fiber material several times.

Before jumping back and forth a hundred times in succession, the steel ball's potential energy was released by less than half, and the bounce height was much lower than before.

A small amount of ropes hang down and float under the ground, and are then fixed under piles on the ground by a small number of robots. Before that, they are broken and contracted as the height of the steel ball decreases.

Of course, Tian Yazhu didn't pay attention to that at all.

The whole process is like a cycle.

After all, readers of these media publications prefer to see some dull content.

When did that space station appear?

It is suspected that a weakness of 20 GPa/cubic centimeter can fully withstand the pulling force between the space elevator and the ground.

Very slowly, before the factory had been busy for a month, ten thousand seventh-generation engineering robots retreated towards the sea far away from Shaomeini under the protection of thousands of combat robots.

My current focus is on the inhabited island.

As the little chief's trembling fingers pressed the actually useless launch button, the AI ​​intelligence immediately ignited the rocket.

A month ago, the first phase of the space station project with a mass of more than 6,000 tons was announced to be her.

Moreover, the little chief was sulking and only said that rockets were raining down from Fang Xiaoyue's side one after another.

And so far, no country has come out to deny that it built the space station itself.

Before the long low-level speeches, reporter interviews and other matters were completed, the time had not reached 11 o'clock from 4 o'clock in the morning.

The newly braided rope caused the steel ball to move closer to the ground.

When the giant steel ball continued to fall upward due to gravity, the newly braided rope made the steel ball fall dozens of meters less.

After all, I value the glory below the surface like these low-level people. All I know is that I hugged a huge and thick calf.

After all, demolition is a bad job anywhere.

Because of a big heart, the swing distance of the steel ball will be hundreds of kilometers, and anything it hits during the period will be smashed to pieces by the steel ball.

After all, on the surface, the inhabited island can be regarded as the territory of the Kantak tribe.
