Zhang Taishan nodded and asked in a somewhat anxious tone: "Then how can we see the construction process of the space elevator?"
"Wait a moment, I'll call up the screen for you right away."
While talking, the staff member started operating the computer in front of him.
Soon, the largest screen in the space agency lit up.
"Okay, let's stop for a moment and take a look at how the He Group built the space elevator."
Zhang Taishan waved his hand to signal everyone to quiet down, and soon everyone focused their attention on the big screen.
"Hello everyone, I am Liu Wen, the engineer in charge of the space elevator project. We will build the first space elevator in human history."
In the picture, a middle-aged man in blue overalls and a red safety helmet stood in front of the main console of a small spacecraft and spoke to the camera.
Behind him is the pitch-black void of the universe.
"The concept of a space elevator has been proposed as early as the 1970s. A space elevator, as the name suggests, is to build an elevator channel between the earth and space, so that humans can easily communicate with each other."
Liu Wen in the picture talks eloquently, with a loud voice: "But there is a huge problem, that is, what strength materials can be used to meet the standards?"
As soon as Liu Wen finished speaking, he attracted the attention of many people. Aerospace workers from various countries watching the live broadcast pricked up their ears to listen to Liu Wen's explanation.
Building a space elevator does not happen overnight. It requires a lot of money and materials. If it is just made of ordinary steel or alloy, it is probably impossible.
Liu Wen picked up a tablet. There was a picture on the tablet. The picture in the picture was a black metal cable with a diameter of only 2 centimeters. It looked very ordinary.
"Everyone, this is a high-strength cable that our Heshi Group has just researched. Not only is this high-strength cable made of soft material, but it can also withstand a tensile force of 10,000 tons. You can imagine the toughness of this material."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the aerospace industry watching the live broadcast looked shocked. They never expected that Heshi Group would develop such a thing.
For a time, major space agencies from various countries became interested.
"Here's how we build a space elevator."
While talking, Liu Wen clicked on the tablet.
"With this kind of space rope, the next work becomes much simpler. First, we bury a metal block of hundreds of thousands of tons several hundred meters underground on the earth as the traction end of the space elevator, and then
Connect the other section of the space rope to the space end with a spaceship, and then accelerate the space end to the second cosmic speed, so that the two ends of the space elevator can be tightened to realize material transportation at both ends."
Liu Wen explained his theory and various practical operations, and everyone couldn't help but nodded after listening.
This method is indeed very feasible.
"With the space elevator, we humans can enter space easily, efficiently and cost-effectively."
"Furthermore, the space end of the space elevator can be transformed into a space dock, allowing humans who have not mastered anti-gravity technology to easily build large-mass spaceships without fear that the Roche limit of the spacecraft will be smaller than the Roche limit of the planet because the internal space of the spacecraft is too large.
, causing the spacecraft to be torn apart by the planet’s gravity..."
Heping will not spread all the technology he has mastered to the earth. He still wants to leave some trump cards for himself to prevent certain forces from taking risks and causing him irreparable losses.
As for things like space elevators, they are specially prepared by Heping for the Earth government that has not mastered anti-gravity technology, and by the way, it can make him a lot of money.
"If you are interested in a space elevator, you can call Heshi Construction Engineering Group. Whether you want to use our space elevator or help you build a space elevator, we can provide corresponding services."
After Liu Wen finished speaking, he cut the screen to the busy construction spacecraft in geosynchronous orbit.
Seeing the busy appearance of the rockets and spaceships in the picture, Zhang Taishan was stunned, but then he came to his senses and said quickly: "Quickly report this news to the military and let them take action as soon as possible."
Zhang Taishan has already sensed the huge military value contained in the space elevator.
Although Taishan can easily travel between the earth and the moon, due to China's inadequate material technology, the outer shell of the spacecraft was deformed when Taishan landed on the earth and entered the atmosphere.
According to estimates, Taishan can only travel to and from the Earth-Moon system twenty times. Due to the friction of the Earth's atmosphere, the outer shell of Taishan has suffered a lot of damage, which will be fatal damage to the entire Taishan.
But with the space elevator, this situation can be completely avoided. As long as the Taishan does not return to the earth and only docks at the space end of the space elevator to exchange materials between the earth and space, the life of the Taishan can be greatly extended.
In fact, after the first test flight of the Taishan was successful, the China Aeronautics and Space Administration had already hatched the plan to build a space elevator after seeing the damage to the spacecraft. After all, China has not yet mastered better materials and anti-gravity technology.
However, China did not have control over the materials connecting the two ends of the space elevator, so the Chinese military could only stare blankly.
But today, the Heshi Group has conquered this material and produced results, so it hastily reported it and notified the military at the same time, hoping that they would take action quickly.
"Yes, Dean."
A researcher immediately reported the news.
At the same time, other countries around the world also acted quickly.
For example, Amrican has submitted a bill to the Parliament to purchase space ropes.
Sub-powerful countries such as Britain called Heshi Construction Group, hoping to obtain permission to use the space elevator.
The European Union hopes that Heshi Group will help them build a space elevator to facilitate space exploration by the European Aeronautics and Space Administration...
In short, in just a few minutes, the most prominent countries on earth have become very interested in Heshi Group's space elevator.
…
"Hello to all new employees, please return to your seats and fasten your seat belts. The Humanity is about to take off."
A pleasant electronic sound suddenly resounded in every corner of the spacecraft, and all the employees returned to their seats after hearing it.
After Heshi Group successfully recruited the first batch of space construction workers, it immediately launched a month-long training.
The training content includes understanding of the space environment, space rescue and disaster relief, driving of small spacecraft, and the operation and use of various space construction equipment.
