Technological Hegemony

Belgium, Brussels, European Parliament.

The European Union headquarters, which has always been known for its chaos and quarrels, is extremely quiet at this moment. Everyone is focused and listening to the report of Eurospace Commissioner Gilkut.

"According to our analysis and the information obtained from our allies, the first channel that Star Technology established between Weigu Island and Station Zero is actually a space elevator!" Gilkut said with a grimace.

Space elevator! ?

That stuff in science fiction! ?

The lawmakers were all stupid and couldn't believe their ears, their expressions were stiff, like lightning strikes.

It's hard to imagine how many Chinese people have unknowingly built a space elevator when the EU argued about how many refugees should be accepted, for the Paris climate agreement, for women and men, for LGBT, and for these messy things.

"Xingchen Technology, they are really amazing!"

"More powerful than North America! When Musk announced the success of StarChain, I was still opening a bottle of champagne at home, and I was very happy for my allies. As a result, Xingchen Technology threw out a space elevator that is even stronger than StarChain!"

"With the emergence of the space elevator program, there is also nano-tube technology. The rope that is less than the thickness of the pinky finger can withstand thousands of degrees of high temperature and pressure, plus a load of 750 tons! It is a miracle in the history of materials science!"

"What shall we do? Where should Europe go from here? At least North America has also launched the StarChain plan and restarted NASA, but what about us? Endless quarrels and **** every day, ESA experts are almost dug by Xingchen Technology Empty!"

First shocked, then complained, and finally scolded, tired of drinking coffee and eating macarons, this is the usual routine of noble men in the old continent.

In fact, according to the current situation, the strength of North America alone is very difficult to stop Star Technology, so North America is happy to see a scattered sand-like Europe.

Because Europe continues to do nothing, North America's position as a Western leader will become stronger, and more and more European forces will support North America wholeheartedly and bring the white world together.

...

Tokyo, Chiyoda Ward, Prime Minister's residence.

The chief executive officer of the industrial innovation agency is public. He is sitting on the couch next to the prime minister. At Neon, the industrial innovation agency has a special status and is the hub of communication between the neon authorities and the major chaebol companies.

At the beginning, a series of giants such as Sanyo, Sharp, Panasonic, Sony, Toshiba, etc. were around the LCD panel, and they couldn't deal with it. However, latecomers such as Samsung, LG, Huaxia BOE, and Huaxing Optoelectronics continued to catch up from behind. At that time, it was the industrial innovation agency that came out, tried hard to disagree, took out the panel assets of each company and reorganized, and established JDI.

Of course, the JDI, which concentrated the whole neon power, failed to block the fierce offensive from China, which is another thing.

In short, although the industrial innovation agency is low-key, it has the strength and means. The Prime Minister urgently called on the industrial innovation agency. Obviously, there were some inconveniences to be disclosed, but the hope that the chaebols knew about it needed to be communicated to the public.

"It has been confirmed that Xingchen Technology has established a space elevator in Weigu Island, a real space elevator."

The Prime Minister lowered his voice and solemnly told the news that Gongyi could be seen. For a while, he could see a buzzing sound in Gongyi's head.

Although Chinese people have never liked neon, they must also acknowledge that neon is the country with the best sci-fi atmosphere in Asia. Tanaka Yoshiki, Matsumoto Kiyoshi, and Komatsu Sakyo, these science fiction writers have long been known worldwide. In recent years, Liu Cixin's science fiction The masterpiece [Three-body] landed on Neon, and the sales were bursting. In five days, it was printed eight times, which shows the rich science fiction atmosphere of Neon.

Affected by this, I can see that Gongyi also read a lot of science fiction books, so when the Prime Minister mentioned the space elevator, many magnificent space operas popped up in his mind, and he was unable to extricate himself for a while.

"It is indeed Huaxia." The Prime Minister said with emotion: "Anyone can only suppress them for a while, and it is impossible to suppress them forever. I seem to see the tide of the times coming unstoppable, and history will eventually return to its original position."

You can see that Gong nodded slightly, and from the newly added white hair of the Prime Minister, he could see his anxiety inside, sandwiched between the two giants of China and the United States, and his life was really sad.

On October 22, 2019, the neon emperor ascended the throne, and Russia sent two bombers apart, and returned after sailing around the neon. The prime minister's face turned green, but he didn't even dare to put a fart, after all This world is still the world of hooligans.

"What do you mean?" Neng Gong asked with a frown.

The Prime Minister thought for a moment, dipping his fingers in the tea, and writing four words on the table, don't mess with China.

Suddenly, you can see that Gongyi fully understood that North America could not compete with Huaxia, so it invited younger brothers to help. Not only traditional allies such as Europe and Australia, but also most countries in the world, are in North America. Whether it is willing or not, Huaxia is in fact In the past, all have formed a lone war.

There are also North American aircraft carriers stationed on Okinawa. Therefore, according to the reason, Neon also has to stand in North America, but today the Prime Minister came to see Gongyi, but it conveyed another meaning, standing in line, but do n’t rush in front. If you want to rush, let those white people rush.

After a pause, the Prime Minister said meaningfully: "This is not just a problem with the space elevator, it's just that the light is too bright and the whole world is staring at the space elevator."

"In fact, in just a few months, Star Technology took out robots, nanotubes, space elevators, a total of three killers, it seems to accelerate the rhythm of attack."

...

A few days later, when people finally realized that the so-called No. 1 passage in Luo Jia's mouth was actually the legendary space elevator, a quake of magnitude 10 earthquake inevitably swept the entire world.

Everyone was shocked. Although so far, only a thin nano-pipeline was pulled between Station Zero and Weigu Island, which is far from the final form of the space elevator, but the construction is still underway. The nature of the mad spirit of Chinese construction.

One after another, the silver ultrasonic climbing motors made their debut, quickly attracting everyone's attention. This small thing is in a round barrel. It can firmly hold the nano-pipeline with gears, and then rely on the torque of the motor to pull the second rope. Towing in the air.

After the height reached one kilometer, the climbing motor stopped. The engineers installed a second motor. The length of the nano-pipeline was 36,000 kilometers and the dead weight reached an amazing 360 tons. Although the ultrasonic motor has an amazing Performance, which can bear such weight, is also relatively laborious.

Even if it ’s calculated at 60 kilometers per hour, it takes 25 days to transport the No. 2 rope to the No. 0 station. The time is long and the task is heavy. Therefore, Xingchen Technology has adopted a simple and rude solution, using up to 20 Four ultrasonic climbing motors do traction and transport nano-pipes with a total weight of 360 tons at the fastest speed. The load of a single motor is about 15 tons.

On the one hand, it is transported from the equator to space, and on the other hand, it continues to drop the cables from space. At an average speed of one every twenty-four hours, it takes a two-pronged approach to build the first space elevator within one year. .

This space elevator will use 512 super ropes composed of graphene nanotubes and carbon nanotubes. A single rope is not thick enough for a human's little finger, but it can bear 750 tons and remove its own weight. There are 360 ​​tons and the redundant load is as high as 390 tons.

I have to say that the space elevator is not only a miracle in the history of space exploration, but also a miracle in materials science. After a simple calculation, we can know that the total limit load of 512 nano-pipes is 198,986 Ten tons.

Most of them will be allocated to station zero and used as safety redundancy. In addition, the main and backup wires will also occupy a lot of weight. At an altitude of 36,000 kilometers, Xingchen ’s wireless transmission technology will also There is no way to send electricity, only high-power cables can be used, and the outer layer is protected by graphene material.

As for the operating part of the space elevator, a circular ring will be used for the upper and lower five-layer design, mixed loading of people and cargo, the topmost layer is the passenger cabin, and the lower four layers are dry bulk storage, frozen cargo storage, etc.

Two hundred and sixteen high-performance ultrasonic motors are responsible for driving. The maximum load of a single machine is 120 tons. Auxiliary passive safety descent system, accidental separation of ejection system, and a series of safety measures. The single operation time is 48 hours, average. Once a week between Weigu Island and Zero Station, it can transport goods with a mass of not less than 5,000 tons, with a maximum carrying capacity of 8,000 tons.

The passenger cabin is equipped with 148 flat-berth cabins, a dining room and kitchen, an emergency medical room, and eight shared bathrooms, and two multi-purpose rooms.

A total of twelve staff members, four of whom are elevator controllers, two security officers, two medical staff, four flight attendants and logistics administrators.

In addition, there are a variety of cargo bay robots, but the robots have not been included in the total number of people. Considering that the initial construction of station zero was mainly based on freight, the first space elevator was mainly freight, and the total number of members was only one hundred. Sixty people.

After the initial completion of station zero, the larger space elevators 2 and 3 will be established, as well as the large space pier extending from the axis extension.

In short, Xingchen Technology has a huge plan that spans the next few decades or even hundreds of years. In contrast, the North American star chain plan is crazy, but it is obviously not crazy enough.

"Ha ha ha, let me laugh for a while, those who think that station zero is just a space station, you see, have a face?"

"A lot of people also said that station zero has no prospect of making money, but it is better than North America's StarChain Plan ~ www.wuxiahere.com ~ but to the end? Station zero is actually part of the space elevator. If this project is completed, we Will be able to use the resources of the entire solar system! "

"Everyone, please do n’t take the rhythm too far. The real meaning of a space elevator is not to make money, nor to break down a resource-based country like Australia. The straight men of Xingchen Technology rely on the space elevator to turn space into themselves. Back garden, this is the biggest meaning. "

"The upstairs is right. What to go to Tibet is really weak. If you have the ability, go to space. Come and talk about walking!"

"Although they were the first to land on the moon in North America, they have never conquered it. Obviously, Star Technology not only wants to be a space explorer, they also want to be conquerors, occupy the moon, and even the entire solar system!"

"If that's the case, I can only say that Xingchen Technology is great!"

After a long time of depression due to the StarChain plan, they were finally happy, and the Chinese people felt that they were finally out of anger. North America wanted to destroy the Great Wall of China. In just one day, Star Technology expanded the edge of the Great Wall to outer space!

From now on, the geosynchronous orbit at an altitude of 36,000 kilometers is the new Great Wall of China!
