He Ruiyin's conception of the "Civilization" suite is simply unbelievable in the eyes of the two. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the past, when people considered how to connect different sections in a piece of music, they always focused on the arrangement of specific melodies, instruments, voices, etc., although there are many music that can be regarded as "yin and yang", but no one has ever taken "yin and yang" as a creative concept from an overall and macro perspective like He Ruiyin.

"Following the classical era is the Middle Ages, there are not only the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties, but also the darkness and depression of the Middle Ages, different peoples began to communicate and conflict, the Silk Road and the Great Wall are the products of this exchange and conflict, the yin and the yang, I am ready to tell the story of human civilization in the rugged advance of war in the third movement......"

He Ruiyin continued to talk about her vision for the "Civilization" suite.

This was followed by the Renaissance revolution in art and science, the colonial expansion brought about by the Industrial Revolution, the leap in productivity brought about by the electrical revolution, and the Second World War that ended with the atomic bomb......

Although she has only completed the first movement, and the rest of the movements are still only a rough idea, the structure of the entire suite is actually perfect.

Lu Ze and Tianhuo were both shocked by He Ruiyin's grand concept, or ambition.

Lu Ze said with emotion: "If this "Civilization" suite can be completed, you will immediately become a great existence that surpasses all musicians in human history. ”

Tianhuo also nodded and said, "As soon as this song comes out, it will be resounding for eternity." ”

This is not an exaggeration, but it also presupposes that the following movements must reach the same heights as the first movement, or even higher.

Although He Ruiyin created a new form of music in the first movement, the first movement only has the drum as an instrument, which is actually very simple compared to those symphonies, so He Ruiyin can strive for perfection and achieve perfection.

Of course, it is no longer possible to express the following movements with a single instrument, and as the variety of instruments increases, the complexity of trying to make such a precise arrangement of each instrument will increase exponentially, and it can even be said that it may not be possible to complete it with the effort of a person's life.

Thinking of this, He Ruiyin did not have any pride, but sighed and said: "Although I already have a complete idea of the whole suite, with my current ability, I can only create the first movement, and I can't do anything about the subsequent movements." ”

Lu Ze smiled: "So what, at least you already have a clear goal to strive for, why care about the result?" ”

Time flew by in the communication between the three of them, and soon it was half past seven in the morning, and the Star Spirit Network informed the three of them that they were ready to enter the space elevator.

Nowadays, the flow of people in the space elevator is not as large as before, and the carrying capacity of the space elevator is enough to send everyone waiting in the space elevator base station into space at the same time, so they do not need to wait for the next elevator.

The space elevator travels from the ground to the synchronous orbit for eight hours, with the ground departing at 12 a.m., 8 a.m., and 4 p.m. daily.

However, this time does not refer to the time of any time zone on Earth in the past, but refers to the cosmic standard time established by human beings after entering the Galactic Age. If we were to convert it to the time zones of different parts of the earth in the past, then the current time would be 12:30 p.m.

It was already night when Lu Ze and Lu Li set off from Alice's house, and then it took more than two hours on the way from the underground city to the space elevator base station, and after arriving at the waiting hall, they waited for nearly an hour, which was exactly the time to enter the space elevator.

The elevator round trip is 8 hours, and time is precious, of course, it is impossible to wait until the space elevator coming down from the synchronous orbit arrives before letting passengers enter that elevator, otherwise it will be delayed for half an hour just by thousands of people going up and down the space elevator.

And this is not the most time-delaying, the most time-consuming thing is actually replacing the thrusters of the space elevator.

Although there is no need to carry chemical fuel, the thruster is still a big guy larger than the elevator compartment of the space elevator, and every time the space elevator runs back and forth, it will not only consume most of the propellant carried inside, but also cause ablation on the bottom of the thruster emitted by the laser emitted from the ground, so it will take a whole day to maintain and replenish the propellant after each space elevator operation before it can be put back into use.

At this time, Lu Ze and the others were actually going to enter another space elevator that had already been prepared.

As for why not let passengers get into the space elevator a little earlier?

This is because after all, the space elevator is to send things from the ground to a synchronous orbit, and although the carrying capacity is not small, it is impossible to prepare a bed for everyone to rest, right?

Considering that the whole process is not long, it only takes 4 hours each way, and there is no food for passengers in the space elevator.

Since it is only necessary to wait for people to enter in advance, people are of course more willing to stay in the waiting hall with food, accommodation and entertainment.

To reach the space elevator's landing platform, you need to pass through the rest area, and you can't go to the entertainment area to see it, which makes Lu Ze a little regretful.

After passing through the rest area and passing through a passage more than ten meters long, the three of them came to a huge space, the whole space was 80 meters high, and they were on a huge suspended platform.

The ground of the platform is translucent, more than 30 meters high from the ground below, and not far in front of the platform is a "rocket" more than 50 meters high.

Of course, it's just that the round top and bottom thrusters look like rockets, and this space elevator is much "fatter" than a rocket, with a diameter of 24 meters, almost half the height and about the size of a building.

However, although it looks "fat", it is not small in strength, and it can send 1,200 people into space at a time!

At this time, there were about 200 people lined up on the platform, so the three of them walked to the back of the line and waited.

After about ten minutes in line, I walked through a suspended bridge similar to the boarding tunnel in the past, and finally entered the space elevator.

Although the height of the space elevator is close to 60 meters, the thrusters alone occupy 36 meters, and the "elevator car" actually used to hold people is actually only 20 meters high. The 20-meter height is further divided into 5 floors, each with a capacity of 240 people.

And there is no elevator in it, and you have to go up and down the stairs from the stairs, which is not humane at all, and it is estimated that it is only available in space elevators.

What's even more inhumane is that in order to save weight, there are not even sofas in the space elevator, except for the toilet, there are only rows of hard-looking chairs next to each other. At this time, the people who had just entered the space elevator were still looking for seats, and so many people were crowded in such a small space, which made Lu Ze can't help but think of the days when the bus was crowded before.

The good thing is that not many people are currently in space and will not fill all the seats.

The three of them all belonged to the type who liked quiet, so they worked a little harder and climbed to the top floor, and sure enough, the number of people here was less than half of the bottom two floors, so they found a random place to sit down.

To Lu Ze's surprise, although these chairs look stiff, they have an elasticity when they sit up, which makes people feel very comfortable, which should also be some kind of new material.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the space elevator began to move.

It's not that it's already in the air, it's just a horizontal movement.

Lu Ze couldn't help but be a little curious about the scene outside the elevator.

The space elevator will not provide floor-to-ceiling windows like a sightseeing elevator to show people the outside scenery, fortunately, the brain-computer interface technology can meet Lu Ze's wishes, when Lu Ze starts the illusion, the walls around the space elevator instantly seem to have turned into glass, looking out of the elevator through the glass, I just saw a huge gate in front of the space elevator slowly opening.

Through Xingling.com, Lu Ze learned that the reason why there is such a gate is to prevent the light scattered by the laser in the air and the heat released during the operation of the space elevator from affecting the platform here.

After the gate opened, Lu Ze saw that another space elevator on the opposite side was detaching from the cable.

Connecting the space elevator to the cable is a 12-meter-high cylinder set on the cable, which can be attached to the space elevator to keep the direction of the space elevator stable.

The cylinder moves with the space elevator, and of course does not come into physical contact with the cable, but interacts with each other through electromagnetic repulsion.

The Earth rotates 15 degrees per hour, and when the elevator car is on the surface of the Earth, its linear velocity around the Earth is 463.31 m/s, and when it reaches a geosynchronous orbit 35,800 kilometers above the Earth's surface, its linear velocity around the Earth will also reach 3,075 m/s, with a kinetic energy of 44.1 times that of the Earth's surface.

Therefore, it must have a uniform horizontal acceleration in the process of ascent, although this horizontal acceleration can be provided by the thruster, but it will cause the direction of the space elevator to tilt, and when the space elevator has a tendency to tilt, the electromagnetic repulsion between the cylinder and the cable will correct this tilting tendency.

When the elevator separated from the cylinder, it also began to move slowly and horizontally, moving in the opposite direction. In the distance, a gate will also open, and those passengers who have just returned to Earth in space will exit the space elevator and take planes to their respective destinations.

Soon, the elevator Lu Ze and the others took moved to the bottom of the cable and completed the docking with the cylinder.

A 60-second countdown sounded in everyone's ears, and at the same time, Xingling.com reminded all the passengers who were still standing to quickly find a place to sit down, and the smart fibers on the clothes of all the sitting passengers were also automatically adsorbed on the chair at this time, playing the role of a seat belt.
