Everyone knows that there is now one of the largest projects ever built at sea, and the Atlantic Floaters are working on it, and many of the materials used in the construction have never been seen or even heard of. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This white material looks very light, but no one knows about the high strength, since before Onclaude sent a few samples to several famous American university laboratories, in order to dispel the outside legend, this material has an irreversible man-made damage to the marine ecology.

According to the analysis of the university laboratory, there are only four elements in the basic composition of this material: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, but the molecular structure of the material is extremely special, so special that in the natural environment, this kind of thing is difficult to decompose, of course, it is also difficult to break into very small pieces, so that the material cannot enter the food chain.

At the same time, the material's physical properties far exceed those of engineering plastics, and some even suspect that it is the result of chemical companies like DuPont working on new materials, such as Kevlar's successors.

But the bad thing is that no one has come forward to say that this thing is their own research, and no one sells this kind of thing......

After discovering the properties of graphene and carbon fiber and applying them in large quantities, the scientific community thought that it would be a quicker direction to find new materials and study the special combination of individual atoms, but the emergence of Atlantic floaters has been an eye-opener, at least providing the scientific community with the impetus to re-intensify research in the traditional chemical field.

But Onclaude wasn't a good guy either, and they didn't even say who developed the material, let alone collaborate or exchange the technology for it.

The scientific community even told the people of Oncrow that as long as you can tell the secrets of the materials and properly disclose some information about the manufacturing process, we will help you get any scientific awards such as the Nobel Prize.

But with the help of the U.S. Department of Defense and various intelligence agencies, Onclaude resisted this pressure, and he didn't even say his name, which was really unreasonable.

At first glance, it seems that this material is the same as the output of various investments by Dapa, and it is a scientific and technological achievement belonging to the US military, but when many people hear that the top laboratories of the three armed forces want to get this kind of material, but they can't do it at all, everyone understands that I am afraid that the pool of water in Unclad is much deeper than imagined.

In fact, not only the scientific community, but also documentaries such as the Discovery Channel are very interested in Atlantic floaters. However, although the Atlantic floaters are very large, it seems that it is easy to find a way to sneak up, but the three US Navy detachments that have been alternately guarding in their vicinity have no chance at all.

And word came out that some of the adventurers who had sneaked to the island had disappeared - but no one could prove that they had arrived on the island.

The United States has such an executive order, Executive Order 10999, which allows the government to requisition all types of transportation.

This means that if the nature of the Atlantic floaters is defined as an offshore platform such as a ship, then the U.S. government can requisition the island during special periods.

And the owner of the Atlantic Floaters, Phoebe, who was hiding behind Unclave, as if he did not know about the executive order, had to push Congress to pass a supplementary explanation that large man-made floating islands were a means of transportation.

On the one hand, she invited the Navy and Air Force to be stationed on the Atlantic Floaters after they were built, and on the other hand, it provided a legal basis for the US government to quickly convert the Atlantic Floaters into a naval military base under special circumstances.

Everyone in the circle knows that even if this girl doesn't know about this executive order, the more than 100 lawyers raised by Titan should always know, and if they don't remind Phoebe, it means that these lawyers can't continue to stay in the lawyers' circle.

So, Phoebe's push for Congress's supplementary explanation to pass seems to have hurt her, but the entire HSD knows that this is Phoebe's positive expression of compromise and closeness in the circle.

Therefore, what the US Navy did not find out, and what happened to those adventurers who wanted to sneak away from the Atlantic floaters to explore, would not be seriously investigated.

What's more, according to the new supplementary explanation, the location of the Atlantic floaters is on the high seas, and what happens on it is not controlled by too many people, and of course the US government has to be managed...... So on the Atlantic floaters, it's really where Titan has the final say.

However, the attitude of the international community towards the Atlantic floaters and the recycling of orbital garbage is not very good, after all, both areas have the potential to greatly threaten the sovereignty of other countries, but at present, there is really no good way to make the Americans stop.

Otherwise, a hat that interferes with the free economy will not run.

To be honest, even several allies of the United States feel that the Americans are becoming more and more unreasonable.

According to everyone's thinking, the United States should at least take out some scientific and technological achievements as the wealth of all mankind, as it did before, so that those countries that do not invest much in scientific research or even do not plan to do scientific research can enjoy the benefits of scientific and technological progress, and this is what a responsible superpower does.

The most important thing is that everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, and everyone studies together, and you will always make more progress than you will make more progress in researching yourself, isn't that the reason?

As for saying that you Americans have already made results, that's no problem, and we can also help you test whether your results are completely correct, right? So at least the least, through the ** what, how?

But the Americans actually say that it is the research result of private companies, and the development direction of enterprises cannot be interfered with by the government, otherwise it will not be a free economy, but a market economy, and they in the United States will not do such a fucked thing.

Listen up! How bastards these Americans have to be to link technological development to ideological issues.

But Onclaude is such a company that does not enter the oil and salt, with the cooperation of many departments in the United States, they have no intention of entering the global market at all, and they only live by a NASA, and they simply do not want to make progress at home - in fact, at this time, there is not a single satellite in the sky that completely belongs to Onclaude.

Isn't Unclad going to clean up the track junk? That's okay, you and NASA are both Americans, you paid to clean up the orbit, we don't have to do anything to enjoy a clean orbital environment, since you don't let us join, then you pay for it yourself.

But it is said that Ebrun, the young president of Unclave, has even expressed the idea of not traveling to any country - this is not a problem in most people's eyes, but it is not the same in the leadership.

What Ebron means can also be interpreted as "not cooperating with any country".

What line is this?

Not to mention that it has not yet begun, but has been stuck in the propaganda stage of the orbital garbage recycling project, the Atlantic floater is a real thing, everyone knows how difficult it is to make a floating island with an area of more than 5,000 square kilometers in the ocean, just because of the current and wind direction caused by the displacement of the floating island is enough to cause a headache, haven't you seen how many tugboats have been dispatched by the United States to compensate for the displacement of the floating island.

Therefore, almost no one has forgotten the origin of the name of Onclaud, but focuses on the every move of the Atlantic floaters.

And with the attention of the upper class, the public gradually became interested in the floating islands, and many people believed that the Americans built Noah's Ark for the catastrophe.

As for what kind of disaster to talk about, didn't the Mayans say that 2012 is the end of the world......

And within Unclave, although there is such speculation, but everyone knows that the Atlantic Floaters are often exposed to the public in order to help the orbital recovery project attract attention, and even on the satellite map of Google, which has a good relationship with the company, the photos of the floating islands are even updated every six hours...... So from a certain point of view, most people don't believe that someone has ever been to the floating island and encountered an accident, after all, the satellite map is there.

According to the plan, Abrun will work with the Discovery Channel to make a documentary about the process of building the floating islands and the principles of some of them.

So, while Phoebe was racking her brains to deal with the people coming from all sides in the RB, Eblon took the people to the Atlantic Floaters again. Some are scientists from the traditional scientific community, while others are from the Discovery Channel's planners.

The purpose of the trip was to show the audience through a documentary that the Atlantic floaters would not have a catastrophic impact on the ecological and climatic balance of the Atlantic Ocean and its surrounding seas.

"Well, both scientists and people who are engaged in the filming of science and technology documentaries know that the statement 'there is no scientific basis' is actually what no one can figure out what is going on yet, and the scientific community does not even know who should study certain strange phenomena."

Ebrun led the men to a straight trench that looked like it stretched from the seashore.

"But in fact, when ordinary people hear such explanations, they either have the emotional perception that 'everything belongs to God,' or they just don't take it seriously anymore."

After Ebron finished speaking, he pointed to the deep ditch in front of them.

"In the process of building the Atlantic Floaters, our company not only applied a lot of new materials, but also integrated many technologies in the whole design, which are not very widely used and have not even been studied deeply, such as this ditch."

The crowd looked at the deep ditch, and the material at the bottom of the ditch looked like the same as the material on the wall, and at the same time, like the ground they were stepping on, it was the same material that Unclaude kept secret.

"After the main part of the Atlantic Floaters is completed, the tugboats you see on the way will be able to go back, and the Atlantic Floaters themselves will have a strong displacement compensation system to correct their positions. Of course, this requires a lot of energy, and this ditch that runs through the entire floating island is part of the many energy sources of the entire floating island. ”

One oceanographer asked, "Is this a structure that harnesses tidal energy?" ”

Eblon nodded and said, "It's not impossible to understand it this way. What I can say now is that in the future, about 10 percent of the energy sources of the entire Atlantic floaters will be used to generate electricity from the waves generated by such trenches. But the ditch itself has another function, which is to be part of a pressure generator that carries 60 percent of the island's energy function. ”

Without waiting for anyone else to ask him, Ebrun added: "Regarding the structure of the pressure generator, we don't plan to apply for a patent, let alone publish it, this is what the whole technology team means, they feel that this technology is not suitable for land applications, so they don't want to delay the time of the scientific and technological community." ”

"But we still want to know...... one scientist said.

Eblon nodded and said: "I can only talk about the general principle, I told you at the beginning that the Atlantic Floater itself uses a structure similar to an iceberg, and the weight of its underwater part is still quite large, so our team thought that for every ten meters of water depth, the pressure will increase by one standard atmosphere, as long as the material allows, this unbalanced pressure can be a source of energy, and as long as gravity still exists, then the energy available will never be exhausted." Well, that's all I can say. ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then someone asked, "Perpetual motion machine?" ”

"Of course it's not a perpetual motion machine, but this set of theories does have something like the theory of a perpetual motion machine." Ebrun shook his head, and then he added: "In addition to gravity energy, the Atlantic Floaters themselves have free and huge pressure resources, which allow us to obtain a large number of cheaper cryogenic products, such as liquid nitrogen, dry ice, liquid oxygen, etc., so many people think that Unclave's investment in the Atlantic Floaters is a bit unprofessional, contrary to the orbital recovery plan we announced at the beginning, but in fact it is not. ”

An Discovery Channel editor took note of something and asked, "So, Mr. Ebrun, what do you think about the fact that some animal protection groups have been claiming that the appearance of Atlantic floaters will completely change the ecology of the surrounding waters here?" Or rather, any ideas? ”

Eblon nodded and said, "Well, this matter actually has to be looked at from two sides. On the one hand, we did a lot of research when the Atlantic floaters first selected the site, and it turned out that our location was not on the migration path of any kind of marine life. On the other hand, after our construction began, a large number of sea turtles and seabirds chose us as their place to stay, and a large number of fish began to form ecological communities around the floating islands. Didn't you all see it when you came here before? Now the number of dolphins around the island alone has risen to fifty, and to be honest, they are still quite annoying at times, and they are not as cute as you say on your show. ”

People who know the habits of dolphins immediately laughed, indeed, as Abrun said, dolphins are sometimes quite annoying, especially male dolphins, always like to find holes, they will even insert a similar breathing hole, and there are many dolphins drowning every year because of this...... In fact, there is a consensus in the biological world that mammals are the most susceptible group of hooligans and LGBT in nature, not limited to humans. However, as a responsible media person, I naturally will not take out these problems of dolphins and hype them up, after all, some people still wear dolphin pendants, and think that they are very cute with dolphin pendants......

After everyone laughed, Ebron added: "In fact, our biggest impact on the natural world is probably the discharge of hundreds of thousands of gallons of seawater, but compared to many rivers in the world, the water we drain is actually only a drop in the bucket. ”

At this time, another Discovery Channel editor asked, "Mr. Ebron, don't say that when it's time for the official shooting." ”

Ebron nodded from Syrulius and led you up.

The editor added: "Let's continue to talk about the energy access of the Atlantic floaters and the surrounding marine ecology, which is actually the most interesting area for the public." ”

"Okay." Ebrun nodded again, glanced at the invited scientists again, and said with a smile, "Don't you want to ask anything other than asking me to disclose the company's scientific and technological secrets?" ”

A scientist spread his hands and said: "Actually, after seeing so much on the island, I believe that the positive impact of Atlantic floaters on the ecological environment is more than the negative impact, but to be honest, from the perspective of a scientist, I really can't ask questions other than scientific and technological secrets." In fact, even if it is a problem of the ecological environment, it must be observed and summarized for a long time before more in-depth questions can be raised. ”

Ebrun nodded and said, "That's right." ”

The scientist said: "However, if you don't talk about the principle, if you talk about the application, it's actually quite good, although many of the principles are your secrets, but it can be regarded as opening a new window for the scientific and technological community, so like the pressure energy harvesting system just mentioned, you might as well talk about it." ”

Ebron smiled and said, "Actually, what I just said, I'm afraid I'll have to face the doubts of the scientific research team when I go back." But who asked you to come here as well, so it doesn't hurt to say anything more. ”

So Eblon said: "At present, because the main energy system of the island has not yet started to operate, we can only use traditional equipment that uses chemical energy, including transportation and communication systems, but I just said that after the island is built in the future, in addition to energy output, there will be a large number of low-temperature products, which will allow us to have a cheaper superconducting environment." Therefore, in the future, the transportation on the island will only use electricity, so we have solved another environmental problem. ”

Everyone nodded, this is the right thing.

"So from a certain point of view, the Atlantic floaters are a possible direction for the perfect combination of human beings and the natural world, and we have always been full of awe of the natural world, you know, hurricanes on the ocean are far more terrifying than those on land, on the one hand, we have to fight against the hurricane's driving effect on the island, and at the same time, we have to ensure that the people living on the island will not be affected too much, so when building the island, we have fully considered the above and below ground." About eight meters below where we were, there is an underground space with the same layout as the surface of the island, so that the inhabitants of the island will not feel any discomfort except that they cannot see the sky directly. ”

"Like the Great Dome?"

"Yes, like the Great Dome." Ebrun nodded, and then said: "Since the structure of the entire floating island is an iceberg, then on the whole, this structure has been extended, and our goal is to build this place into a comprehensive island that can support human exploration and commercial application of marine engineering technology, and the island can not only meet the needs of 100,000 people, but also support this as a shipping transit station in the Atlantic." ”

At this time, a scientist frowned and said: "Some people suspected that you were supporting the U.S. government to build a Noah's Ark that could survive independently without relying on the outside world. ”

The focus of the question asked by this scientist is obviously different from that of ordinary people.

But Ebron did understand how troublesome it would be if he didn't explain this matter, so he first shook his head and said, "First of all, it should be explained that this is not Noah's Ark, but one of Onclaud's assets. On top of that, it's not even real estate, and I think you've heard that we're applying for a license for an offshore floating platform. ”

Everyone nodded.

"Of course, as I said just now, in addition to the general currents and sea winds, the Atlantic floaters need to fight against possible sea storms, so it is inevitable to be strong, but we cannot achieve the level of resistance to nuclear bombs, after all, the habit of human beings to use nuclear bombs is that if one does not work, then throw another." ”

Everyone nodded, remembering that the RB that was hit by two big bombs was not like this back then, and after throwing one, the RB people didn't react, so it would be better to throw another one.

However, Ebron added: "Of course, because the structural characteristics of the Atlantic Floaters are similar to icebergs, our team thinks that even in the face of nuclear bombs, the floating islands can hold out, in fact, from a certain point of view, if someone really drops nuclear bombs, I think the Atlantic Floaters may hold out until the opponent's inventory is exhausted." ”

A scientist suddenly realized: "It's all because of your confidence in new materials?" ”

Eblon nodded and said: "That's what the scientific research team thinks, they just think that once this material is leaked, the nuclear countries will have the ability to escape the nuclear war, which will have a very serious adverse impact on world security, so they unanimously decided that even if they don't enjoy the corresponding honor, they will not publish this kind of material." ”

The group of scientists nodded suddenly, and there are countless examples of scientists abusing their efforts by politicians and capitalists, and it is not surprising that Unclaud's scientific research team has such an idea.

One scientist sighed and nodded, "Now I finally understand, I won't be diligently pursuing this material in the future." ”

Several other scientists nodded.

The atmosphere was a little heavy, and the editor of the Discovery Channel said at this time: "Well, in fact, those words just now, it's best not to say them during the official shooting......"

Ebrun took a breath of talk, nodded his head, and said in a low voice: "To be honest, in fact, we are under a lot of pressure, not only the scientific community wants to know the secrets of new materials, but also many government and private companies want to know. I was hoping to let everyone know what our team thinks through your show......" At this point, Abrun shook his head again.

A scientist said excitedly at this time: "Mr. Ebron, don't worry, although we can't spread your ideas through the media, but we all have our own communication channels, and we will tell the people around us the real reason why you are hiding the secrets of the material, you can rest assured, the scientific community will try to minimize the harassment of you in the future." ”

Abron shook his head again and said: "Actually, if you don't say anything, the politicians and capitalists will be happier, and to be honest, our scientific research team doesn't know what to do." ”

As if feeling the same way, one scientist sighed and said, "If only scientists could form a country by themselves." ”

The others sighed and shook their heads.

……

That night, while everyone was drinking and resting at the makeshift construction camp on the Atlantic Floaters, Ebron made it to one of the photo editors of the Discovery Channel, pulled out a photo and said, "Well, my girlfriend is now the agent of this group, and my sister is this girl and a member of this group, I want to discuss, can I use this photo in the quick cut screen of Discovery Channel in the future?" I think we will be able to work together very happily in the future. ”

The editor took the photo and looked at it as a couple of young Asian entertainers performing on stage, and laughed, "Is that going to make your girlfriend happy?" ”

Ebrun smiled and nodded: "Well, she is the external agent of Universal Music, to be honest, she doesn't mix very well, but even then she wants to have her own career, and I naturally support this." Actually, I've watched a lot of your shows, and many of them have quick cuts at the beginning, plus their pictures and videos, and it's not a big problem, right? ”

The editor nodded and said, "Okay, I can help you talk about this matter, but why don't you tell us through official channels?" ”

Ebron spread his hands and said, "There are too many reporters staring at me now, and there are also many reporters staring at Onclaud, and I am afraid that they will also be found by reporters because of this." The most important thing is that I can't get the company's public relations department to come to you through business channels, so I want to ask you to help me get this done, which is my personal commission, and when the time comes, you will gain a personal friendship with me, Ebron, how about it? ”

The editor pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, but you have to be mentally prepared to cut the picture quickly, in addition to influence, that is money, and you have to spend a lot of money for it." ”

Ebrun shook his head and said, "Money is no problem, the key is whether they can be allowed to appear in the quick cut for a long time." Of course, if you agree to this, I can assure you that National Geographic will never come to us. ”

The editor looked at the stage photo of the ten Asian girls performing again, and nodded slowly......
