Chapter 937 (1/2)

”Every time I look up at this space elevator, I can't help but crawl and worship. Only miracles can describe this magnificent project. May God bless mankind and never lose its course in the vast sea of stars. Amen. ”

Standing at the foot of the space elevator and looking up, the white bearded old man in the priest's uniform reached out his hand, touched the outer shell of the space elevator, drew a cross on it with his old fingers, and recited unknown prayers in his mouth.

Today is the first time that the passenger rail of space elevator is opened to traffic. Among the 70 middle-aged people who will take the space elevator to the terminal space station, in addition to 30 astronauts who have received basic training, 20 representatives from all walks of life of Singapore and 20 special guests from foreign countries will also be selected.

The quota for these 20 people was generously handed over to the United Nations. In addition to a few places that have been negotiated with China, the United States, Russia and the United Kingdom, others are selected by the special committee set up by the United Nations Office for outer space.

The white bearded ”Santa Claus” is former Pope Jos lachinger from the Vatican, and the oldest passenger in the opening ceremony. In order to take care of the nearly 100 year old man, the star ring trade specially adjusted the acceleration of the acceleration and deceleration phase of the space elevator. This will slightly extend the acceleration time, but it will not have much impact on the whole 36000 km journey.

Taking back his sight from the old man, the man took out a small wooden box from his arms and slowly pasted it on his chest. His skin was white, his short brown hair curled slightly, and there was a touch of nostalgia in his look.

”In 1895, inspired by the structure and shape of the Eiffel Tower, theokovsky, a Russian scientist, conceived a” castle in the sky ”moving synchronously around the earth Looking up at the space elevator, the man murmured, ”fascinating greatness, the charm of civilization is here. We can always get inspiration and inspiration from our own culture to imagine unrealistic dreams and finally turn them into reality. ”

”Are you?” The black man standing by gave him an unexpected look.

”A writer,” said Rudolph Clark, after a pause, looking at the wooden box in his hand, a memory in his pupil, ”like my grandfather.”

In 1978, his grandfather, Arthur Clark, got inspiration from the description of Pearson of the American space mechanics research laboratory, and wrote the book ”spring of heaven”, which described the blueprint of the space elevator and influenced a number of later science fiction works.

Even the ”carbon nanomaterials” and ”ocean equatorial space station” in its writing predict the future in a certain sense. The main material used in the construction of the space elevator by star ring trade is graphene, and the terminal point of the space elevator is the space station named ”star ring city”.

”You seem surprised?” Rudolph looked at the black man.

”Indeed,” the black man nodded, ”I see at least two writers here.”

With that, he cast his eyes on the side of the space elevator.

There, standing there, was an old man of Asian descent who was not very gregarious.

”There is a line of words here, written in Chinese.” Haruki Murakami reached out, fingered a line of square characters at the bottom of the space elevator and said to himself, ”who left it?”

”I know we can solve the next problem because we have solved all the problems that have occurred before If translated into English, that's probably what it means When he came to the old man from Japan, Liu Haotian said casually in English, ”as for who left it, who can it be?”

As he said that, a trace of nostalgic smile appeared in the corner of his mouth.

In Shangjing and Wanghai, he had a meeting with Jiang Chen, but now his official position is no longer the concierge department, and the Liu family can not always let him stay in that position to waste time. On behalf of the Chinese government to participate in the opening ceremony of the first cross era, it is basically relying on the energy of the Liu family.

It's just a pity that he didn't see Jiang Chen again during his trip to the new country.

At the same time, Jiang Chen was afraid that he had accompanied the new president to Canberra to attend the UN outer space summit.

”I'm very glad to know you for 60 years,” Murakami said
