Chapter 184： The space elevator is completed! (8000)

Chapter 184 Space Elevator is completed! (8000)

"Xinggang! I want to build a spaceport!" He Xingzhou thought, what human beings lack now, lack of warships, lack of planetary mining ships, lack of space bases!

These man-made objects have great mass and need to fly in space for a long time. Isn’t it the best choice for space elevator counterweights?

"Ten space elevators can build ten massive objects!"

He Xingzhou planned, how many space fleets does mankind need? unlimited!

So ten stars, not too many! Some of them can be used as starports for space battleships, as well as commercial and trade space ports, engineering-built industrial ports, and spaceship construction factories.

To build a large starport at one time and launch it into space is somewhat unrealistic. He Xingzhou still intends to use modular technology to manufacture Xinggang modules, which are capable of space flight to form Xinggang.

In this way, even if it fails and is attacked by the enemy, Starport can quickly return to normal.

He found the corresponding technology on Quantum Optic Brain to unlock:

"Expend 10 units of energy to unlock the spaceport control system."

"Expend 30 energy units to unlock the space power transmission device."

"Expend 50 energy units to unlock space dock technology."

……

He Xingzhou used the accumulated energy to unlock a lot of related technologies, and he immediately began to design the spaceport.

"People flow, cargo, space industry, space ship manufacturing, starship maintenance, space defense..." Before the Blue Star Civilization had no space city, these tasks had to be completed by a space port.

It can be said that the space port is a simplified version of the space city.

"Lumi, generate design drawings!" He Xingzhou shouted. In front of him, 10,000 simple design drawings of spaceports appeared.

This is Lumi’s intelligent program generation, which is not necessarily correct. In this way, He Xingzhou can choose a model for transformation as soon as possible.

"This is much more convenient, Lumi, I will upgrade you to silicon-based life in the future, then I will save more trouble." He Xingzhou said.

"Thank you, Master, Lumi wants to have life too!" Lumi said happily.

Her current emotions are just set emotions, not emotions that she actually possesses.

He Xingzhou saw in the virtual world that there are many silicon-based civilizations there. And silicon-based civilizations are often stronger than ordinary civilizations before they are at the same level!

Because of their greater productivity and execution!

As for advanced civilization, every creature possesses super wisdom, and the advantages of silicon-based civilization disappear.

In just a few days, He Xingzhou has completed the first draft of the spaceport!

He directly sent the first draft to the Interstellar Construction Department, allowing designers to improve and modify together, and some mature modules were directly produced for launch.

The space port needs to be built earlier than the ground part of the space elevator, so that the cables and cars can be pulled.

……

In the subspace virtual universe, He Xingzhou once again came to the Interstellar Construction Meeting. Today is the day when the rookie competition starts.

Xu Zhilan entered the virtual universe for the first time and was curious about everything. Just like when He Xingzhou first came, she also had "a hundred thousand why" in her heart?

"These aliens are too strange, fortunately there are humanoid races." Xu Zhilan communicated with him, "Otherwise I would not dare to communicate with them!"

"It doesn't matter, this is a virtual universe, you can do anything. It just can't expose the information of our civilization and provoke unnecessary enemies." He Xingzhou said.

"Hmm." Xu Zhilan followed him closely.

In the interstellar construction meeting, the competition hall is full of people, all interstellar builders and companions who come to participate.

"Chengfeng, you are here." He Xingzhou came to the circle of the newcomers, and several people greeted him.

are all first-class civilizations, and there is no direct contradiction. Except for a small number of maverick alien races, most aliens will remain polite on the surface.

"There are a hundred thousand people in this competition!" Yan Xin said excitedly, "One hundred thousand civilizations, our primary civilizations, if not here, maybe until the civilization is destroyed, we will not see ten civilizations!"

"Yes, take this opportunity to learn and communicate more, maybe we can evolve our civilization together!" said the interstellar builders next to them.

"Progress is relative. Some civilizations are too weak and there is no need for communication." Disharmonious voices came.

He Xingzhou had a hunch and came to him again.

Sure enough, four people appeared around them, each looking like a sea beast, a murloc, a person carrying a large snail shell, and a strange-looking female sea monster.

As soon as he saw their identification for the competition, He Xingzhou probably understood the identity and purpose of these people.

"First-level builder, dugong, current points 90. Ready to compete."

"First-level construction engineer, Fissi, current points 87. Ready to compete."

"First-level builder, voiced sound, current points 85. Ready to compete."

"First class builder, Siren, current points 80. Ready to compete."

These four people are representatives from the civilization of sea beasts, murlocs, conch civilizations, and sea monster civilizations.

Came here to find He Xingzhou, nothing more than the incident mentioned by Bai Ningxiang.

In order to gain more support from the Black Sea Civilization, they need to compete with the Blue Star Civilization.

"Chengfeng, you have a lot of enemies. Last time, I was a member of the Subaru Association. This time I will come to a few representatives of civilization." Yan Xin vomited, "Our primary civilization, we still don't want to find so many enemies."

He Xingzhou said helplessly: "I don't want to, they found it by themselves, I just lay down a gun!"

Dugong said to He Xingzhou: "Are you the representative of the Blue Star civilization?"

"We are all in the competition!" Fissi said, "I heard that you are very strong? This time the winner must be born among the four of us. If you are rational and retire by yourself, we can also form a friendly and civilized alliance. ."

The voiced voice glanced at the builder points on He Xingzhou, and it was 0 points. He was a little lost and said: "This kind of opponent, there is no need to waste time on him."

"I'm really interested!" The siren has a female fishtail, which is very similar to a mermaid, and is a branch of the Black Sea civilization.

Her figure is hot, and her skin is abnormally smooth, as if she was smeared with a layer of oil. From an aesthetic point of view, she is the same as Bai Ningxiang, which is in line with human aesthetics.

But Bai Ningxiang is a combination of sexiness and cuteness, while Siren is a combination of sexiness and monsters.

She approached He Xingzhou and said with a smile: “Bai Ningxiang, the master civilization, is very optimistic about you. Why is that? Is it because that little Nizi is in love with you?”

Xu Zhilan took a step forward, preventing her from getting close to He Xingzhou.

He Xingzhou said: "The ruthless talk session is over, right? You can do it by your own ability."

"With ability, it will only make you desperate!" Dugong said.

At this time, the Angel of Order appeared in the arena and she announced: "This rookie competition will start in ten minutes."

"Everyone will get a unique key. With this key, the subspace communicator can scan the surrounding space. Its scanning range exceeds one star system. Before the start of the competition, the subspace communicator needs to perform a scan. Scan. After the game starts, scan once every year to count your technology points."

Everyone received a private message with a secret key inside.

Tuanzi said on He Xingzhou's shoulder: "Do you want to start scanning now?"

"Turn it on!" He Xingzhou said decisively.

Xu Zhilan worried: “If scanned by them once, wouldn’t all the information of our civilization be exposed?”

Siren laughed, her voice was very charming, she said: "Of course it will. But the Order of the League can not look down on our low-level civilizations!"

"We are not as good as ants in their eyes! They are too lazy to take a look at us."

Xu Zhilan ignored her, she remained hostile to the siren, always feeling that this female siren had a problem.

The   Asia Space Communicator opened its first scan, and a ranking list appeared on the field.

There are the names and rankings of one hundred thousand contestants. Before there is no technology point, they are ranked according to the points of interstellar builders.

He Xingzhou’s ranking is now at the bottom, 100,000th! Because his points are zero, the registration time is the latest.

He Xingzhou glanced over and saw many familiar names.

The ranking of dugong is 13041, Fissi is ranked 18,744, voiced is ranked 23131, and the siren is ranked 36478.

There are also two members of the Subaru Star Association, Rafal of the Procyon civilization, ranked 54575; the gray wolf of the Sirius civilization, ranked 1320, the highest ranking among several "acquaintances".

The Green Devils who sold classes before, ranked 18730; and Yan Xin next to him ranked 87576.

Seeing the current ranking, Yan Xin vomited: "No wonder that the newcomers can't win this newcomer competition. The points of the builders represent the initial technological strength of civilization. There is so much difference!"

"The rookie contest, officially started!" said the Angel of Order. A technology point appeared behind all the contestants, which is currently 0.

He Xingzhou found that none of these people chose to go offline, but continued to stay in the competition hall.

In just a few minutes, some people's technological points began to grow, from single digits to tens or hundreds!

Their rankings also rose rapidly, to within the top 10,000.

Dugong, Fissi, Voiced, Siren, Rafael, Gray Wolf, and Green Goblin are all like this.

Xu Zhilan wondered: "Isn’t it said that a planetary mining ship only adds 1 technology point, and a space battleship with a speed of 10% light only adds 10 points? They add so fast, do they have any skills?"

"Of course there are skills!" Old dwarf Tamu appeared next to them and said: "You don't know, before the start of the game, you deliberately damaged the planetary mining ships and space battleships, and then quickly repaired them, you can directly add a bunch of technology points. !"

"So, this rookie competition seems to start with 0 technology points, but it is actually a comparison of existing technology strength?" Xu Zhilan frowned, "This is even more unfair!"

"Little girl, how can there be absolute fairness in this world?" Tamu laughed, "All the participating members understand this."

He looked at He Xingzhou and said: "How about, do you want to buy my cheats, which can help you quickly add points, three thousand universe coins! How to deliberately damage these technological creations is all skillful, improper operation, and Points will be deducted!"

"You have a lot of opponents now!"

"No need." He Xingzhou still refused. Blue Star Civilization didn't have time to play the show.

"You are a bit sensible." Dugong said, "Even if you use these methods, you can't compete with me!"

"That's not necessarily true. See you in a year." He Xingzhou finished speaking and took Xu Zhilan off the assembly line.

"This guy, it's interesting!" Tamu stroked his beard and smiled.

"It's boring!" Fissi shook his head, "We have to compete between the four of us."

Siren smiled and said: "The three elder brothers want to get some sisters, our siren civilization is not good at building!"

"Don't pretend!" said the voiced voice, "Who doesn't know that your Kraken is a genetically modified branch of the main civilization race? On the main civilization side, many people are supporting you! This time I will definitely give you technological help. !"

"Since the older brothers know, don't fight with us!" Siren said, "When our Kraken civilization becomes the new main civilization, we will definitely not treat you badly!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Dugong said, "Do you have any means, even if you take it out, you will know by comparison, whose civilization is stronger!"

He also went offline and began to host civilization construction activities.

……

He Xingzhou returned to the Blue Star Civilization and immediately began to support the construction work.

While improving the design of the spaceport, he urged the construction of the ground station of the space elevator.

The sea area south of Shenzhou, near the equator, is building a ground station for the largest space elevator.

This is a vast ocean that needs to be reclaimed.

He Xingzhou rarely opened the live broadcast, and tens of millions of viewers poured in and greeted him:

"Command Ho is here!"

"I miss it so much!"

"What are you going to broadcast this time?"

He Xingzhou said: "Dear viewers, now we are going to go to the site of our space elevator to reclaim the land."

After that, the camera flew around, and the nano armor had been attached to He Xingzhou, and he flew to the project site.

"Fuck, what command is this handsome armor!"

"Yes, is this Meteor armor? Upgrade it!"

"Fly faster than a rocket!"

The audience hasn't talked a few words yet, He Xingzhou has already begun to slow down and arrive at his destination.

When he looked down, the audience was shocked!

Looking down on the sea from the sky, it is a piece of black, the original blue sea has been completely filled!

This kind of scene, they have seen it before, it was the doomsday scene when the Zerg attacked humans!

And now, on the sea, it is not the Zerg, but the engineering ship!

The number of engineering ships is estimated to be more than 100,000, filling the sea! Even the two nuclear-powered aircraft carrier fleets are also helping with the transportation work!

The dredger digs out the sand on the seabed, and then spit out a yellow dragon of sand and sprayed it to the construction site; the engineering ship is built on site; the transport ships come and go, transporting construction materials from other places.

In the sky, there are countless engineering mechas and engineering aircraft flying; under the seabed, there are also deep-sea engineering ships, which are building deep-water ports and consolidating island foundations.

Have people ever seen such a scene? When the Great Wall of Steel was built, the density of engineering machinery used was less than one-tenth that of here!

Not only the surface of the sea, but also the sea and the sky. The entire space is composed of construction machinery. Under the deployment of the intelligent system, the work is carried out in an orderly manner.

"It's magnificent!" People said with emotion.

"If this is to build a building, a building with more than 100 floors can be built in one day!"

"Our industrial level has improved again. I remember that there weren't so many ships to fight the Zerg!"

"Many of them were rebuilt from warships, and those mechas. Have you seen them? Some of them are military mechas, and there are signs of basalt troops!"

"666, I haven't started yet, you have all moved bricks!"

"I graduated from university and I am going to move bricks into the sea. The future is promising! Brothers!"

"How long will it take to build this?"

He Xingzhou said: “According to estimates, this artificial island will be completed within one month, and its area will exceed one thousand square kilometers! It is not only a ground station for space elevators, but also a maritime logistics center!”

"In one month, a man-made island of more than one thousand square kilometers will be built in the sea?" The audience was very interested.

"Nu Bian, we didn't even dare to think about it before! Now I think it's really possible!"

"Wonderful work!"

He Xingzhou continued: "After the ground station is completed, in the second month, we will build a 15-kilometer tower, which can be regarded as the base of the space elevator!"

"Its height will exceed the current tallest building in mankind. Of course, I don't know how long this record can be kept, because we will have more magnificent buildings!"

"More than 36,000 kilometers of carbon nanotube cables, space elevator cars, space stations, space ports, we are all building them simultaneously."

"It is estimated that in ten months, we will complete the construction of the first space elevator."

"I will broadcast live again at that time!"

"If you are interested, you can follow through news or TV programs. If you want to participate in the project team, you can also register on the Internet..."

He Xingzhou also ran a wave of advertisements, and now the project team is in short supply.

In addition to this space elevator, nine other space elevators are also being manufactured simultaneously.

His advertising effect is very good. It is said that on that day, the number of people who signed up for the project online exceeded one million!

……

After a life span of several hundred years, He Xingzhou has no feeling for a few months. It's as if it takes a few months to get into work casually.

During this period, he has been busy with the improvement of the spaceport, and he is also taking care of the design and launch of space communication satellites.

Every day, more than one thousand space communication satellites are launched to other planets and corners of the solar system.

Since their flying speed is too low, it is still a long time to build a satellite communication system all over the solar system.

He Xingzhou is planning to study ultra-high-speed thrusters in the next step, so that the speed of human spacecraft can be increased to at least 10% of the speed of light.

There is news from the Interstellar Construction Department that the first space elevator of Blue Star Civilization, Tianti No.1, is about to be completed!

In low-Earth orbit, they have successfully built ten large-scale space stations. The spaceport is currently paved with foundation stone templates, which are sufficient to meet the requirements of counterweights, but as a spaceport is open, it needs to continue to be built.

"Dean, tomorrow is the completion ceremony and the space elevator trial operation ceremony. Please preside over the ceremony." Xiao Mao sent a message.

"Okay!" Human beings have built another giant planetary structure, how can He Xingzhou be absent?

The next day, early in the morning, He Xingzhou came to the Tianti artificial island.

Ten months ago, there was still a vast ocean here.

In just ten months, an artificial island of 1,000 square kilometers has appeared here. Its area has exceeded that of Singapore before the catastrophe era!

A port, airport, residential area, industrial area, etc. have also been built above, which has completely become a prosperous modern island!

He Xingzhou called the live broadcast as scheduled, and the audience poured into the live broadcast room.

The live broadcast at this time, in addition to the screen and holographic projection live broadcast, also joined the virtual world live broadcast system!

That is, if the audience has a virtual world device at home, they can have the same perspective as He Xingzhou, or they can get an immersive feeling through the live robot's sensors!

In the virtual world, when they actually see this island, they are already attracted by the scenery on the island.

"It was built so fast here? I remember the last time I watched the live broadcast, it was still the sea!"

"I can't see that it is an artificial island at all, the trees have grown so high!"

"This infrastructure speed, nothing to say."

"What a tall tower! The clouds have just reached its feet!"

They saw that the most eye-catching thing on the island was the huge base of the space elevator, the tower!

The 15-kilometer tall tower is ten times taller than Mount Tai!

is the overlord of the planet, five times as high as Aura King!

Even the Aura insect king who made all mankind feel desperate, standing here is nothing but a dwarf.

"Unfortunately, this is not a super weapon. Otherwise, you will be trampled to death by hitting the planet Overlord!" Someone commented.

He Xingzhou, wearing armor, flew up the tower, through the clouds, to the top of the tower, where there is a sky square.

Tens of thousands of engineers and workers gathered on the sky square. They are waiting for He Xingzhou to preside over the completion ceremony!

When He Xingzhou came to the Sky Plaza, everyone gathered spontaneously to say hello to He Xingzhou.

"Hello everyone!" He Xingzhou's armor comes with a loudspeaker. He looked at the expectant faces and said: "Thank you to all the workers, engineers, and designers of the space elevator project team for their work day and night in the past ten months. !"

"Today, finally ushered in the day when mankind's first space elevator was completed!"

"It will be our bridge to space. Next, we will conduct the first space elevator test run!"

Below the space ladder, the staff have prepared supplies weighing up to a thousand tons. These are some of the materials needed to build a spaceport. If you use current rockets or aerospace planes for transportation, at least ten round trips are required!

And this thousand tons is not the maximum carrying capacity of the space elevator.

Its maximum carrying capacity is 5,000 tons, which is equivalent to the carrying capacity of a conventional freighter!

And the round-trip speed is very fast, and it can run uninterrupted!

He Xingzhou, Xiao Mao and other engineers personally got on the car. They are all wearing armor, even if the car fails, they can fly out in time.

He Xingzhou began the countdown: "Ten, nine, eight... three, two, one, ladder number one, start!"

When he finished reading, the elevator car switch of No.1 was turned on, together with the cable.

This 36,000-kilometer cable, all made of carbon nanotubes, looks like a rope thrown by the gods from the sky from the perspective of people. If you pull it, you can go straight to the clouds!

The tower is like the acceleration channel of the super high-speed rail. In the first two seconds, the audience can still see the tower clearly. Two seconds later, the tower has changed into a twinkling phantom!

He Xingzhou explained simultaneously: "Dear viewers, the ascent speed of the car can reach the same speed as the launch vehicle. In ten minutes, we can reach space!"

“The bottom of the car is also equipped with a rocket booster and anti-gravity device to ensure our safety. Even if there is an accident, the car can become a small aircraft and land smoothly on the ground!"

When he speaks, the audience can experience the same perspective and feelings as him in the virtual world through neuromechanical equipment or brainwave sensing devices.

Although it has come to the new century, most people have never really taken a rocket or aeroplane.

This feeling of rapid rise is a hundred times more exciting than riding a roller coaster!

Standing in the car, the earth is moving away from itself quickly! If you look down, you will quickly see that there is only a small black spot on the sea level, which is the location of the artificial island!

Looking forward, the clouds are already under the car, and you can see the blue star's arc!

"It's so exciting, I feel like I'm going to fly!"

"Ahhhhh! I have a fear of heights, but I want to experience it again!"

"Haha, give my brother the virtual induction helmet, he is already scared to pee!"

"You guys are so delicious and fun!"

"I went straight up!"

"Go to heaven, so cool, you can go to heaven at home!"

Eight minutes later, the car starts to decelerate. He Xingzhou looked up and could already see the location of the space station and spaceport.

At this time, they have all entered low-Earth orbit and are in a state of weightlessness.

"The state of weightlessness is so good!"

"Haha, this is the feeling of flying!"

"Has it been in space?" The audience experienced it in real time.

The intelligent voice reminder of the ladder: "The ladder is decelerating and will soon enter Tiangong 1."

Tiangong is the name of the former Shenzhou Space Station. The newly-built large-scale space station directly continues its name. This is the first sequence of ten large-scale space stations.

The astronaut on Tiangong-1 also sent a communication: "Report what command, this is Tiangong-1 space station, astronaut Nie Zhou will report to you!"

"Hello Nie Zhou, please open the space station."

"Received, the space station access pod has been opened!" Nie Zhou replied.

The space elevator can lead to two destinations, the space station and the space port. Because the spaceport has not yet been completed at this time, they first visited the space station.

There is a pilot cabin in the space station, and the car can directly come to the pilot cabin to unload cargo and pick up people. At the same time, you can enter the space station to visit.

The car steadily stopped in the lead cabin, the airtight door outside the lead cabin was closed, and the air valve opened, filling the place with air.

He Xingzhou, Xiao Mao and other engineers "get off the car" and came to the landing cabin.

It’s not the first time for Xiao Mao and others to come. As designers of space elevators, they naturally want to observe the construction part in space, so they adapt quickly.

It is He Xingzhou himself, who will not adapt to the feeling of weightlessness for a while, and can only rely on the armored automatic control system to assist in walking.

"It's a little embarrassing, I am not proficient in spacewalking." He Xingzhou touched the handrails, floating forward in the pilot cabin.

"Haha, I can't command anything!"

"Me too, I am practicing swimming!"

"This virtual world has a strong sense of substitution, I feel that I can't walk at all!"

"I went to space too!" The audience felt the same way.

"How do you command! Hello engineers!" The two space station astronauts have opened the channel between the pilot module and the space station and came to report.

Xiao Mao joked to Nie Zhou: "We came up by elevator, are you envious?"

"Envy! I can't be envious!" Nie Zhou also smiled, "With this space elevator, can we astronauts take the elevator to and from get off work every day?"

He Xingzhou smiled and said: "It is indeed possible. Ten minutes up and ten minutes down. It is shorter than commuting in the city!"

"That's great!" said another astronaut Hong Wenbo, "It's more convenient than working in a space base!"

They walked to the Tiangong-1 space station together.

The space here is huge. The space station launched by humans in the past is very small in order to reduce the mass!

And here, there are more than a thousand cabins, even the smallest cabin, more than ten times the size of the previous International Space Station!

Like the Sky Mothership, in addition to the various research cabins needed for work, there are also living areas, entertainment areas, industrial manufacturing areas, and so on.

The energy required for    now comes from the huge solar panels outside; in the future, it will come from the nuclear fusion power station in the spaceport!

Theoretically, it can provide human life for more than 100 years!

It’s just that human beings have not yet evolved into a space race. Living in a weightless environment for a long time will cause physical problems. If it is a child, it will also cause poor bone development and become deformed!

The Ministry of Biotechnology is already carrying out relevant genetic modification experiments to allow humans to better adapt to weightlessness, low gravity or high gravity conditions, so that they can migrate to other planets in the future.

"There is nothing to look at in the cabin. Commanding Ho, we can see the scenery outside the cabin!" Nie Zhou took him to the observation cabin.

This is a fully transparent cabin, and you can see the surrounding universe and starry sky with the naked eye!

There is a bright sun on one side of   . Without the refraction and obstruction of the atmosphere, the sunlight is extremely dazzling, and human eyes cannot look directly at it.

On the other side, there is the vast starry sky of the universe!

He Xingzhou looked over, and saw countless stars shining in the boundless darkness, and each one was a star from countless light years away!

A kind of endless emptiness, endless loneliness emerged in his heart, and because of the feeling of weightlessness, at this moment, his whole body seems to have lost his body, only his soul is left, floating in this boundless universe!

Seeing from the video and from the virtual world, contacting the starry sky with reality is completely two experiences!

He Xingzhou was stunned for a few seconds before he said with emotion: "The boundless universe, how mysterious and unknown!"

He pointed to the bright galaxy and said, "Maybe, at this moment, some aliens from other civilizations are also looking at us!"

"We are also looking for them!" Nie Zhou said: "Our space telescope has been capturing light from the surrounding star system."

He Xingzhou still looked out the window and said: "One day, I will pave those stars into a starry sky avenue, and then walk along this starry sky road to the depths of the universe, and look at hundreds of millions of light-years away. What is it like!"

Xiao Mao sighed and said: "The idea of ​​commanding Ho is really hard for ordinary people to match! I will take this space elevator to the moon now!"

"Hahaha!" He Xingzhou smiled, "This is a qualified interstellar builder! Don't worry, you have more tasks!"

"When the ten space elevators on the Blue Star are completed, the next step is the moon and then Mars! Then you will be too busy!"

"With experience, it's all easy to say!" Xiao Mao said, "Tianti 1 is completed today, and within two months, the other nine can be completed! In a few months, we will go to the moon and start construction!"

Thanks to NRS11 for the reward of 55,000 starting currency. Ask for subscription, monthly pass!
