"Is this the Star Ring?"

The universe is cold, but standing here, Zhang Feng, who is wearing short sleeves, only feels the slightest coolness similar to that in an air-conditioned room. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info his feet on the solid metal floor, where he was somewhat surprised to feel gravity similar to that on Earth.

This should be the gravity section of Star Ring City, which is the "balance hammer" part of Star Ring City.

Standing around him, except for the black American named William, who was fiddling with his mobile phone, everyone walked to the transparent floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the honor of Mother Earth.

"A five-hour journey, but a century. Rudolph Clark reached out and gently stroked the reflection of the earth on the floor-to-ceiling window, opening the wooden box he had been holding on his chest. Inside is a photograph of the old man being his grandfather.

The old man who had predicted this day with his imagination.

Although everything is almost twenty years late......

"Can I throw it into space?" Rudolph asked earnestly as he found the guide standing at the exit of the space elevator waiting for them, "This is my grandfather's last wish." ”

The young guide shook his head and refused Mr. Rudolph's request.

"No, you can't. ”

Any space junk that leaves the space station is a potential safety hazard, and tens of billions of dollars will need to be spent to recycle it in the future.

"It's just a picture. ”

Rudolph tried to convince the guide, but the guide shook his head and refused his request.

"The photo of flying at 3.1 kilometers per second is no different from the blade. ”

And it's the kind of blade that can cut through steel.

Although it is a pity, Rudolph is not a very unreasonable person. The tour guide nodded to him to thank him for his understanding, then walked up to everyone, clapped his hands, and motioned for everyone to look this way.

"Welcome to the Star Ring City Space Station, my name is Lu Fengming, and I will serve as your tour guide. If you have any questions during your visit to the Ring City, please be sure to ask me and I will do my best to help you. ”

"Without further ado, I wish you all a pleasant trip. ”

The tour guide's concise opening remarks immediately won Zhang Feng's favor. He is a person who doesn't talk much, and naturally he doesn't like people who talk much.

The group followed behind this Lu Fengming and walked towards the space station under the guidance of this tour guide.

"From the side, the entire space elevator looks like a 'Y' stuck in the Earth, with an outward opening grasping a ring. And where we are now is inside a circle, which is called a gravitational segment. ”

"We can feel gravity, but it's not gravity, it's pseudogravity caused by centrifugation. That's right, we, the floor beneath our feet, and the space we're in, are spinning around the axis of the space elevator, at kilometers per second. ”

"Thanks to this open, rotating ring, the center of gravity of the entire space elevator is enough to stay in a synchronous orbit, and we can feel the gravitational force close to the surface. We're standing in this circle now, with our heads facing the center of the circle. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Fengming paused, tilted his head and thought for a moment before continuing.

"It's tricky to explain specifically, you can interpret us as a bunch of hamsters, running on endless running wheels. Lu Fengming explained humorously and amused many travelers.

They all carry future mobile phones with their own voice translators, and there is no communication barrier when they put on headphones. Many people wonder why they didn't float after landing on the space station. Now after listening to the tour guide's explanation, although I can't say the specific technical connotation, I also understand a general idea.

After listening to Lu Fengming's words, Academician Liu Zhusheng looked at the sky thoughtfully, looked at the ground, and his expression was sudden for a while, excited for a while, and sighing for a while, as if he was stunned.

"It is indeed worthy of the name of miracles...... Is this really something that humans can accomplish? If you want to accelerate the entire ring, the angular momentum at the center of the axis must reach a terrifying magnitude...... What metal can withstand this level of mechanical force? Titanium alloy? impossible...... Not even titanium alloy!"

Graphene? That's even more impossible.

Graphene is strong enough, but the commonality of carbon-based materials is here, and the wear resistance is generally very poor, and it is impossible to make gears or any spindles.

Compared with Liu Zhusheng's shock, Dimitri from ESA has been completely numb. Unlike Liu Zhusheng, who specializes in the field of rockets, he is also quite accomplished in space station research, and even participated in the design of the International Space Station. Compared with Liu Zhusheng, he felt more deeply in his bone marrow the terrifying power contained in this giant space station.

If the International Space Station and this Star Ring City are put together, the International Space Station, which condenses the technical strength of many countries, is more like a flat boat in front of the port.

The group continued on, down the hallway.

Here, the earth is not under their feet, but forever fixed outside the glass window on their side, like a vivid window flower.

"This is the corridor of the Star Ring, we have rooms to live in next to it, and directly below us is the MRT corridor that allows us to move quickly around the ring city. You can understand it as the subway of Star Ring, because it is indeed under our feet. ”

The space inside the Star Ring City was so large that it was impossible to give the illusion that they were walking on a pipe. After walking for about a kilometer, everyone came to a movable door, accompanied by the sound of air pressure adjustment, the movable door slowly opened, and behind it was an elevator.

Everyone stood on the elevator, and the movable door slowly closed.

As the floors jumped from one to three, they were like moles emerging from the surface, and the scenery in their eyes suddenly opened up.

Stepping through the porch, Zhang Feng looked up.

Through the transparent dome, he saw the space elevator with the bright starry sky as the background, as well as the whole view of the Star Ring City.

Looking down at the front, the look of shock in his pupils became more and more intense.

It was a wheat field.

The golden waves of wheat are like the sea, bathed in cool ultraviolet lamps, slowly undulating with the circulating air currents. At the end of the wheat field is a verdant field, where other varieties of vegetables are grown,

He didn't know how to describe the word endless, for he couldn't see the end of the field, only the green and black where heaven and earth meet.

"You can live in a pipe, but you can't live in a small space all the time. Eighty percent of the living space in Transwarp City is designed in the corridor we just passed. And every 10 kilometers or so, we will design an embedded space station covering an area of about 2,000 acres. They are like pieces of paper glued to a ring, on which we can farm, grow flowers and grass, engage in real estate, and engage in light and heavy industries...... All we can achieve on Earth. ”

"Just looking at it, you might think it's high-tech? No, no, no, no, they're no-no, they're no-fring, or even a tenth of the way through the corridor you've passed through. ”

"If necessary, we can continue to broaden its space. If we don't take into account resources, we can even inlay this kind of embedded space station on the entire ring except for the area. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Fengming paused again, and then added.

"Of course, I'm talking about nothing here, and I'm talking about it before it was developed. ”

Listening to the tour guide say this, Liu Zhusheng, who listened carefully to the lecture and learned the scriptures like a primary school student, twitched a few times from the corners of his eyes.

Is this Nima's really just a space station?

I've always been embarrassed to ask for votes, but today it finally broke out. Morning Star, I have the cheekiness to leave a tail at the end of the chapter, and I hope that all readers and brothers will check the ticket warehouse and help cast monthly tickets, thank you Morning Star!
