Chapter 797 - The Blueprint of Babel (2/2)

The military exercise lasted a total of three days

Three days later, Celestial Trade soldiers boarded a transport shi+p and set off for the port of the New Malaysian Special District

Jiang Chen personally traveled to the New Malaysia Special Distract Afterwith the prime minister of Malaysia, the Xin Malaysian joint h note

Upon his return to Coro Island, the Aerospace Science and Technology Center also had good news for him The orbit section of the space elevator achieved a h Co Chen, the scientists of the institute had con of the entire space elevator and verified the h the quantuo ho He went to see Kelvin and asked the institute’s scientists to show the concept ht blue particles were projected in the air, and the space elevator that went directly to the synchronousobt looked like an umbrella that was propped outwards One side was a narrow “cable” that ran through the stratosphere transit station, then reaching to the the ground On the other side, it was a wheel-shaped space station As an outer orbital living and working space, it also served as a center of gravity for the space elevator to control the synchronousobt as a “counterweight”

“The ability for graphene trucks to withstand the force is reater than its ability to withstand pressure, thus the risk of the trucks being crushed by their oeight ispulled apart by its oeight To avoid the space elevator being crushed by its oeight, our engineers came up with an idea to drop 36,000 km of cable froround, and at the other end of the cable to design a wheel-shaped ‘counterweight’ The center of gravity at the counterweight behind the space station would contra-rotate at a constant speed, applying an outward pull to the ‘cable’ by centrifugation, avoiding the tracks to bear their oeight!”

“At the saht will also serve as part of the space elevator, providing extra living and work space for the space station”

Kelvin was genuinely proud of the design

A year ago, grapheneforward such a design concept would undoubtedly cause laughters It was like a crazy drea true Just as when Physicist Pearson proposed the concept of a space elevator in 1970, peers and the estions to him—”Go write science fiction novels instead”

However, today, the design of the “counterweight” would surely become the standard for the construction of space elevators in the future, and Kelvinwould also beco fathers of Earth’s celestial era because of this design!

He had every right to be proud

Although future space elevators also had a structure si Chen provided to the institute n The information froies for the space elevator as well as the base station

“How much will the project cost?”

When it came to cost, Kelvin showed a hint of eood in every aspect, except for the cost The “2050 space Elevator Construction Plan” announced by Nippon’s Daelim Construction which would build the “sky tree” for Yoto estimated a construction cost of 95 billion US Dollar, which was almost one-twelfth of his quote

Of course, the former’s price ithout any concrete proof

“From the tracks to the space station, the total cost of the project … is estimated to be 120 billion US Dollar”

“No problem, I’ll find some way to fund the project Future Heavy Industries will adjust production capacity to fit your needs Is it possible to start construction to Chen’s reaction was contrary to Kelvin’s expectation No hesitation The president didn’t even blink when he approved the project It was not twelve hundred dollars, but one hundred and twenty billion!

Kelvin lost his ability to articulate for aChen asked with a puzzled voice

Jiang Chen’s question y and shoutedout in excitement

“No! There is no proble Chen was unclear why Kelvin was full of energy all of a sudden, but seeing his subordinate so motivated naturally made hio!”
