Today is the day when the space elevator is opened for the first time, and many people came here after hearing the news. Nowadays, technology is very advanced, so many people travel to the North Pole. There is no difficulty in taking a day trip to the space elevator.
"Fellow, are you coming to play too?" These are two groups of travelers on a self-driving tour in the Arctic. They had met at the scenic spot of the Great Ice Cresty before, but unexpectedly they met again at the orbital elevator today. They are all from China, and we only met each other after they got to know each other.
I knew that we were all fellow villagers, but I didn't expect to meet them again today.
As the saying goes, when a fellow villager meets a fellow villager, tears well up in his eyes. It is even more rare to meet a fellow villager in the Arctic. "I didn't expect to meet a fellow villager again so soon."
Both parties are a man and a woman, but one party is an old couple who have been married for five or six years, and the other party is a newlywed couple. Both men are sunny and enthusiastic people, and they can't help but talk nonsense when they meet again, so they decided to talk today
Just act together.
The tickets were not cheap, but the four of us were not short of money, so we bought tickets directly and went in.
"With so many floors and hotels, this place is simply a three-dimensional tourist attraction. It would take several months to completely visit it."
The four of them took the map, looked at the thick book, and looked at each other.
"What should I do, Brother Li?" Guo Junbao asked, looking at Li Ji, who was a few years older than him. The space elevator was also a bit too big, and it took a long time to read just the dictionary-like guide in his hand.
"It goes without saying that we will go to the universe." Li Ji said. He was the oldest and made up his mind. The other three had no objections either.
But when they arrived at the elevator, they saw that the long queue had already made several twists and turns. The elevator, which could transport 300 people at a time, was still blocked when three of them were running at the same time.
Because after the first batch of 900 people went up, not many came down, and although the port is large, it can only accommodate 10,000 people at most. But today there are more than tens of thousands of guests, and almost all the people in the world who have time and financial ability are here.
Come here. Everyone wants to go to the universe and see it.
"It seems that we can't go up to the universe, so why not go to other places first." Li Ji flipped through the manual casually, "Let's take a look and see if there is anything interesting."
I couldn't stop flipping through it. It turns out that a long section of this space elevator is covered with solar panels, which provide part of the power supply for the elevator. There are almost 700 floors open to the public, with food, clothing, housing and transportation.
There are airplanes for sale and even farmhouses.
"I didn't expect that so many businesses would gather in such a short period of time. They even built a farmhouse for soilless cultivation." Li Ji said with a smile.
Guo Junbao also laughed.
"Isn't this orbital elevator owned by the government? Why does it look like a theme park?" The person who asked the question was Guo Junbao's young wife.
"Sister, you don't understand. The orbital elevator does belong to the government, but such a large orbital elevator cannot all belong to the government, because the technology of this elevator belongs to a personal fund, so the owner of the fund owns part of the use of the orbital elevator.
Quan. It seems that you don't care much about current affairs. Some time ago, investment in orbital elevators was a global matter. At that time, our company also went to acquire the ten-year use rights of an area." Li Ji suddenly became proud when he said this.
The vacation was really earned because he led his team to take photos of the areas that the leader liked.
"So, Brother Li, will you have the opportunity to work here in the future?" Guo Junbao was envious.
"It's not very likely. It's a laboratory. I work in public relations, so I don't have much chance of being transferred here." Li Ji felt a little regretful.
The four of them discussed it again. Although it was a pity that they could not go to the universe, since they were here, they still wanted to see the most unique scenery in the space elevator.
"Let's go here!" Suddenly Li Ji's wife pointed to a page in the manual and said. She usually doesn't talk much, but when she talks, she can always help everyone solve problems. She is a typical good wife and mother.
"It's my sister-in-law." Guo Junbao was also moved when he saw where she pointed.
Everyone was moved.
So I went to find the elevator and went to the floor 200 floors away.
What is here? This is a simulated universe. Although it is not a universe, it has zero gravity, and you can drive bumper cars in a gravity-free environment.
There are not only three elevators that go up to the universe in the cosmic elevator, but there are also many other elevators. These elevators are extremely fast and are not pulled by cables. Second, they are pushed by magnetic fields.
It takes less than ten seconds to reach the 200th floor or 1,000 kilometers, so the elevators only provide seats, not standing ones.
There are not many people here, and a waiter greets them. "The starry sky here is the same as that in the port, because these images are captured from the camera there, and the weightlessness is the same. It is definitely the most realistic space environment. And here
You can directly experience operating an aircraft operating in space." Of course, the aircraft here are entertainment tools, just like bumper cars, they are born for collisions.
Imagine the scene of balloons floating and colliding in the air. It is similar to the entertainment activities here, except that here you are in the balloon, and you can override the balloon to hit the place where it collides.
The area is very large, and several people are already screaming and playing in the weightless environment, but they can't turn around with their heads down. It's very difficult to operate things in the weightless environment.
Weightless, the two couples held each other's lovers' hands to prevent their lovers from floating away.
Although there are attendants who explain the secrets of moving in weightlessness, and there are many floating handrails, people always feel uneasy after leaving the earth, and it is understandable that they have difficulty adapting for a while.
But soon they were attracted by the flying machines that were crashing overhead. This floor is very high and divided into two parts. The lower part is for people to rest and watch the stars, and the upper part is for people to drive bumper cars. It is used in between.
The net separated them, and from time to time a car hit the net and bounced out. The people inside the aircraft screamed "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" people inside the aircraft, not sure if they were scared or excited.
The two men were excited. Of course they had to play with such a fun thing.
"We also offer spaceships for two people and spaceships for the whole family." So the four of us ordered two two-person couple's spaceships to play in a weightless environment.
You can swipe your card or insert coins into this machine, and you can pay once every ten minutes. It is not difficult to operate. There is a ball compass on it. You can control the posture of the spacecraft by just turning it, the throttle controls the speed, and the front and rear gears control the forward and backward direction.
The ball compass is very sensitive. Many newcomers just scratch the compass as soon as they get on board, and the ball spacecraft will turn upside down, and then it will never come back upright.
The cosmic elevator is not just a wonder, nor is it just a bridgehead for mankind to enter the universe. It also satisfies ordinary people's curiosity about the universe and gives ordinary people the opportunity to have an intuitive understanding of the universe. After everyone has experienced the environment of the universe
, more people will be willing to go to the immigration satellites and lunar moon palace cities that are still under development.
Dulan sat in the farmhouse restaurant in the space elevator and ordered a lot of delicious food. He was thinking about aliens. In the future of the earth, will the Black Forest Law or the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence be used in the universe? So boring.
He was actually thinking about the question very seriously.
In fact, this kind of thing can only be decided after we actually meet aliens. If the aliens are strong, of course we should follow their game rules. If the aliens are weak, then we should follow the rules of the earth.
Let’s talk about the Black Forest Law, a persecution-like principle. Its premise is to assume that there is an alien civilization that is more powerful than ourselves and follows the Black Forest Law.
The Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence are much more friendly. The universe is so big and we can all live well together. The prerequisite is that our fists are strong enough.
Dulan took a sip of juice and thought that it would be better to wait until he left and let the people on earth here worry about it. As long as he leaves a few backdoors on the earth, then even if he is really followed by the aliens who follow the laws of the Black Forest,
