Su Cheng rolled his eyes and guessed, "Then it's possible, what about the 'metallic hydrogen' samples they got from the meteorite?"

"This ......" Denyi hesitated for a moment, "I can't rule out this possibility, but I asked Denji before, and he said that it is impossible to form 'metallic hydrogen' on the moon, because since its birth, the internal air pressure is not up to the standard, and once it reaches the standard, it will have long been out of orbit, and it is impossible to still orbit the earth." ”

"In the entire solar system, the only place where 'metallic hydrogen' can exist is the interior of Jupiter. ”

"Is that so?" Su Cheng nodded as if he didn't understand.

At this time, I only heard Wells say: "And if you want to land on the moon and obtain 'metallic hydrogen', it is actually a problem, and we only got a little 'metallic hydrogen' sample from the moon by chance." ”

"But if we want to get more metallic hydrogen, even if we in the United States have the technology and experience to land on the moon, it is far from enough, because 'metallic hydrogen' is inside the moon, and we must have excellent technology to travel back and forth to the moon in order to continuously transport materials and equipment to the moon and truly mine and obtain 'metallic hydrogen'. ”

"And the technology of going back and forth to the earth and the moon is so strong, and we in the United States are now mature. Wells laughed, "The only trouble is that it's more difficult to get to space from the surface than it is to get to the moon from the Earth, so ......."

"The theme of this summit is to solve the problem of how to easily send materials and equipment from the surface into space. ”

At this point, Wells didn't continue, and then RB Prime Minister Yoshida stood up.

He said: "In fact, to solve the problem just mentioned by His Excellency Wells, it is very simple, as long as you build a space elevator at the equator of the earth, and then you can easily transport materials into space, and you can also rely on the space elevator to build a huge space station." ”

The space elevator is also known as the space ladder, Su Cheng has heard a little about it, he has seen it on the news before, and Dian Er also mentioned it at the beginning.

Similar to a regular elevator, but with the difference, the purpose of a space elevator is not to transport passengers between floors, but to send them to a space station about 36,000 kilometers from Earth.

Once built, it will be possible to carry out transportation work around the clock, sending tourists and goods into space, and greatly reducing the cost of transportation.

With a rocket launch or space shuttle delivering about $20,000 per kilogram of payload and a space ladder delivering as little as $10 per kilogram of items, there's no doubt that space elevators can easily push space technology by leaps and bounds.

"At the beginning of this century, we at RB began to develop the technology of space elevators, and now it is basically mature. ”

"We are confident and capable of building a real space elevator by 2050, but if you join us, I think the time it will be built will be shortened to less than ten years. ”

"Imagine that in ten years, we will have the technology to go to space at a uniform speed, and we will have unlimited moon landings and the opportunity to obtain 'metallic hydrogen', which will not only solve the energy problem, but also solve the first step of human space exploration. ”

It is indeed not uncommon for RB to be researching space elevators, and it was also reported in the news at the beginning, and everyone here basically knows it.

However, many people are still skeptical that a space elevator will be built within ten years.

After all, the space elevator is theoretically a 36,000-kilometer cable elevator composed of carbon nanotubes, not to mention anything else, how to perfectly connect the 36,000-kilometer carbon nanotubes is a big problem.

In response to such doubts raised by some people, Wells interjected: "Everyone, in terms of space elevators, not only RB is doing it, we also have a lot of investment in the United States and France, and the technology is mature, there is no problem with this. ”

Wells said this, and some entrepreneurs immediately began to chim.

"Since His Excellency Wells has said so, I think there must be no problem. ”

"Yes, I personally believe in the character of His Excellency Wells. ”

"Having said all that, I wonder, how much will the space elevator program cost?"

Half of the above discussion is nonsense, and in this economic era, money is the most important thing.

"After our preliminary estimates, the construction of a space elevator with a diameter of five meters will require ...... $240 billion. ”

As soon as he said this, someone immediately retorted: "Prime Minister Yoshida, it seems that your price is wrong, if you divide it by ten, I think it is okay." ”

Yoshida was not angry at the questioning, but squinted his eyes and smiled: "Indeed, more than ten years ago, the estimate of the construction cost of the space elevator was actually about 10 billion US dollars, but that was only an estimate when the technology was not mature. ”

Well, these words directly put the people who want to catch the price problem unchanged, and give a stick down.

Yoshida glanced at the entrepreneurs present and said, "There are a total of 39 outstanding entrepreneurs from all over the world, and we will be in the ...... Huh?"

Originally, Yoshida was going to tell the distribution plan of the funds raised one after another, but suddenly, he found that something was wrong, inexplicably, his stomach began to cramp, and began to roar over the river.

"Damn, how can I ...... at this time" Yoshida cursed inwardly, he found that he wanted to go to the bathroom very much now, and there was nothing more important in the world than this.

"Yoshida, what's wrong with you? Wells said with a strange look when he saw Yoshida stop talking.

"I ......"

......

Yoshida was about to speak, but as soon as he spoke, a long, dull sound rippled from within his body.

It's not poisoning, it's the rumbling sound in his stomach.

But outsiders didn't know, they just said that he was releasing poison, and at this moment, everyone looked at him with different expressions.

Wells, who was sitting next to him, frowned at him when he heard this voice, and glared at him fiercely, with a look of disgust on his face.

I also scolded in my heart, "What the hell is this disgusting guy doing?"

"I'm sorry guys, I'm sick to my stomach, I'm going to leave for a while, you guys...... Go on. ”

With that, Yoshida covered his buttocks, clamped his legs sharply, and quickly left the council chamber.

There was a brief silence in the council chamber after he left, but then a twitching sound was heard again through the wall in the hallway outside.

For a time, the entrepreneurs and politicians present had good cultivation, and some laughed and some scolded.

"This Yoshida is simply a disgrace to the political world. ”

"He's too funny, he actually farts on such an occasion, it's just unqualified. ”

"RB people are like that, the two RB people I've met before are more than him. ”

"Anyway, I almost laughed and cried, you didn't see Wells's expression, that's a wonderful. ”

"yes, Yoshida's ass was facing him at the time. ”

“……”

"Silence!" many people in the council hall could not help but laugh, and as they whispered, Wells stood up and gave a shout with full momentum.

The people who were there to speak would not fail to give him face, and they all quieted down.

Su Cheng, on his side, blinked, touched his cheek, and the corners of his lips twitched violently a few times before returning to normal.
