Chapter 1141 (1/2)

September 7 will be a day to celebrate for the future people group and even the whole Earth Defense Alliance.

After more than a month's efforts, the shipyard of the future people's heavy industry has finally been completed, just like a satellite city surrounded by stars, floating quietly on the synchronous orbit. From a distance, the entire space station is like two capital letters ”U”.

The entire space station will accommodate 10000 workers, 20000 construction robots and thousands of small shuttles. With the support of giant mechanical arms on both sides of the shipyard, the station will be specialized in the production of ships of more than 500000 tons.

With the completion of this shipyard, if the earth fleet is sitting in the ordinary cabin, you will be able to hear the exclamation of passengers.

Of course, the premise is that he will not be watched as a giant panda

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Xia Shiyu's eyes are also shaking with exclamation.

Her eyes gradually moved from the colony to space, she suddenly said.

”Why don't we build a space elevator on the moon, too?”

”Because the moon has no synchronous orbit,” Jiang Chen's mouth bent as he looked at the increasingly close colony. ”However, it is possible to study how to build an elevator leading to a circular orbit around the moon. The height of 200 km is only one eightieth of that of geosynchronous orbit, and the engineering work will not be very large.”

The gravity of the moon is only one sixth of the earth's, and the requirements of the ”lunar elevator” on the cable strength are far less than that of the ”space elevator” extending from the earth's surface to the synchronous orbit. Let alone the high-strength graphene materials mastered by futuren group, and even the high-strength, high-temperature composite fiber named ”chailong” developed by Japan can be used as the material of lunar elevator.

More than once, Japanese companies encouraged the satellite ring trade to contract the lunar elevator project in the lunar colony, but Jiang Chen ignored them at all.

Even if you want to build this elevator, it will be built by the future heavy industry. What can I do for you?

Xia Shiyu's words were a wake-up call to him. Jiang Chen thought silently in his heart. When he arrived in Guanghan City, he must carefully investigate the port cargo throughput and the number of floating population. If that's necessary, we'll have Kelvin set up an item for the lunar elevator after we get back.
