Chapter 924 (1/2)
As long as the weather is good enough, even standing on the island of New Guinea hundreds of kilometers away, you can see the huge tower that goes straight into the sky.
No one knew what it was, as if it had been there overnight, growing day and night into the center of the earth and falling below the horizon.
Looking from afar, it is just like a hair. Only with a high magnification telescope can we see the scattered texture on the tower.
If you are in ANGA Island, the southernmost part of the new country, even with the naked eye, you can get a panoramic view of the tower. It is for this reason that many spaceflight and alien enthusiasts have traveled far and wide to see this incredible spectacle.
Yes, only the word ”spectacle” can describe the grand project connecting heaven and earth.
”Dad, what's that?” the little boy asked crisply, pointing to the white line connecting heaven and earth in the distance.
”That's the elevator.” Looking at the space elevator in the distance, a look of fascination appeared on the man's face wearing beach trousers.
”Where is the elevator so high?” the little boy looked at his father and asked in doubt.
”Go to space,” the man rubbed the little boy's head. ”When my father was a child, we had to use a very high rocket to ignite and fly in the back. Now, elevators are enough. ”
”Do I have a chance to go to space?” the little boy asked, looking at his father with a twinkle in his eyes.
”Of course. It's not just space. Maybe you'll have a chance to go further. ” The man laughed and looked at the cloud pierced by the space elevator, ”boy, you've caught up with a good era.” Uu1;
the sea area near the space elevator was classified as a military restricted zone by the star ring trade. The frigate, which is refitted with the model-j-50 electromagnetic gun, cruises in the nearby sea area and drives the ships entering this area with the help of the marine police ship. The offshore platform equipped with laser air defense system is deployed in the sea area two kilometers away from the space elevator to defend against missiles or aircraft that may pose a threat to the space elevator.
Under the long and narrow space elevator, connected is a cuboid several kilometers long and wide, floating on the sea surface.
As the sea base station of space elevator, it can dock cargo ships with displacement of 10000 tons, and the runway nearby also allows civil aircraft to stop.
At present, the completed space elevator has six passenger passageways on the inside and six freight passages on the outside. A vertical upward ”carriage” is installed in the passenger passage, and the passenger capacity of a single ”carriage” is 6080. The electromagnetic drive principle is adopted. The whole car is like a bullet of an electromagnetic gun, accelerating on an electrified rail.
As for the freight channel, the principle is similar to that of the passenger channel, except that the acceleration of the carriage will be more than 10g that human beings can not bear, and the vertical running speed will also approach the first cosmic acceleration.
Each freight car can push 50 tons of cargo to the synchronous orbit, equivalent to two long March 5 launch vehicles. As for the transportation cost per ton of goods, there are several streets of the exhausted Falcon series rockets.
As for the ”giant tower” connecting outer space and the earth, countries seem to have known something, but they keep silent. I believe that even if they don't say anything, futureman group will soon disclose this secret. They are waiting for the future group to speak first, and then according to the chips in hand, put forward their own side of the appeal.
Compared with the silence of governments, the Internet is full of trouble.
The concept of space elevator, which originally existed only in fantasy and film and television works, was actually moved to the real uu2 by futureman group.
what completely ignited public opinion was a video uploaded to YouTube by a newly registered user. In the video, employees of star ring trade operate the engineering vehicle, loading the unknown goods into the container of the space elevator, and then send them into space.
