Chapter 926 (1/2)
A kind of Although reading and writing are called elevators, the base of this elevator is much wider than that of ordinary high-rise buildings. However, even so, in the length of more than 30000 kilometers, the vertical hanging elevator looks like a piece of noodles.
Taking the warship of star ring trade, Jiang Chen boarded the sea base station of the space elevator.
Not long after they left the port, they came to him.
”We made it”
when Jiang Chen came back to reality and met Kerwin for the first time, this proud middle-aged man was excited like a child, holding his hand.
On the contrary, it was Jiang Chen who seemed more stable. Compared with the excitement of witnessing the birth of wonders and the excitement of leaving a name in history, his heart is more gratified with his wish and a sigh of relief in the distant future.
”Yes, we did.”
After releasing Kerwin's hand, Jiang Chen looked up at the space elevator and suddenly looked at the technical director standing next to Kerwin and asked.
”If I want to carve a line on the bottom of the space elevator, which pen is better”
the technical director was stunned and immediately said, ”laser welding gun is OK.”
”Get me a laser welding gun.”
Although I don't know what the chairman paid attention to, the technical director still winked at the engineer nearby. Soon, a 56 Jin laser welding gun was handed over to Jiang Chen. After receiving Jiang Chen, he took it in his hand and weighed it down. The technical director of Kelvin, standing beside him, was surprised.
The strength of the chairman's hand is much greater than it seems if he can hold the five or six Jin welding gun in one hand.
Walking to the space elevator, Jiang Chen pressed the switch of the welding gun. With the gun head emitting dazzling white light, he carved a line of simplified Chinese characters on the titanium alloy shell of the base of the space elevator.
Two steps back, Jiang Chen looked at the line he had carved and nodded with satisfaction.
”I know we can solve the next problem, because we have solved all the problems that have occurred before.” Kelvin, who has learned Chinese, frowned and looked at Jiang Chen and asked, ”is there any meaning in this sentence?”
”nothing, just a memorial.” Jiang Chen laughed and turned off the power supply of the welding gun and threw it back into the engineer's arms. ”Let's go. Take me to the elevator.”
Walking into the interior of the space elevator, Jiang Chen has a panoramic view of the entire orbit of the space elevator and its operation mechanism through the engineering hologram concept map displayed by Kerwin. There are six passenger tracks in total, three of which go up and the other three go down. The tracks will be changed when the cars arrive at the terminal.
Because of the design of monorail one-way traffic, a track can run multiple cars with constant speed at the same time. It can be predicted that space activities will be quite frequent in the not so distant future. People take space elevators to go to outer space, even as convenient as we take high-speed rail.
This kind of design can also be regarded as a plan for the future rail traffic congestion.
After the visit, Jiang Chen had lunch directly in the canteen of the offshore platform with the senior executives of the space launch center, including Kerwin. At the dinner table, Jiang Chen asked Kerwin about the progress of the asteroid capture program.
”The work of landing and weaving the net is very smooth, but the progress of orbit change is slower than expected,” Kelvin said, putting down his fork. ”Although the Supercomputing Center has accurately calculated the orbit of asteroids, there are still some difficulties in how to ensure the speed and orbit of small stars at the same time. Every acceleration of the towed rocket is very critical. Even if it is a wrong step, it has to be recalculated
