In fact, the space elevator is not a distant thing of science fiction, it has a solid theoretical foundation, and many years ago, after the breakthrough of carbon nanotube technology, the space elevator really advanced. In the stage of actual verification, various countries have also been secretly developing.

The sky elevator will also be a powerful tool for human beings to break through the earth and develop the starry sky. Rockets or space shuttles are just a taste of human beings, and they are subject to too many restrictions, such as launch quality, launch cost, and inability to recycle, etc.; And with a space elevator, everything will improve.

The cost of a rocket to transport a kilogram of items is $20,000, and the space elevator, it may be reduced to $200, which is a shocking difference! And the space elevator is used more frequently, the rocket is not necessarily launched several times a year, while the elevator operates at both ends at the same time (up and down).

The load-carrying efficiency per unit time of the elevator is not comparable to that of rockets. In other words, if you want to build a space battleship from a rocket, the possibility is very low, the cost is very high, and it is almost impossible to do it; And the space elevator, it will make this science fiction close to reality.

The space age is inevitably the path that great powers must follow, and sooner or later UME will embark on this path. Therefore, Meng Qian took advantage of his brain, which had been upgraded to the free use of a petaflop of times per second, and he conducted a comprehensive analysis, from the most basic plan, to the materials, to the implementation.

First of all, it has to be built near the equator, which is not possible on land for UME, so it will be at sea, building a huge base point platform, like an oil ********, and using thrusters, it can be moved to avoid space junk.

Secondly, the ground-air part of the space elevator, which is about 15 kilometers long, needs to be protected. Especially when the cabin is operating. It is easy to be targeted, which means that it has to be within a radius of 600 kilometers, which is a sparsely populated area, and the sea surface becomes ideal.

Finally, manufacturing and site selection, carbon nanotechnology is very simple for Meng Qian, and the elevator cable diameter simulated by supercomputing. It's about 50 centimeters, which seems to be very thick, but in the deserted sea, it is as small as looking at a fly five kilometers away.

Choose the question as close to the country as possible. Meng Qian searched around the equatorial line of the Indian Ocean and found a suitable time and place -- it could be built in the 600-kilometer sea area north of Seychelles. The construction of a military base by the Wehrmacht in the country will effectively protect the elevators.

That position is 1,100 kilometres from the Somali mainland, and any attack would give the IDF ample time to react; It is 1,500 kilometers away from the UME mainland, which can allow the mainland to carry out strategic protection; distance from other countries in the vicinity. All are above 2000 kilometers and are basically no man's land.

So the question is: do you want to do it or not?

Domination of space equals domination of the future, and this option is already very clear.

……

UME does not have the financial capacity at present, but the government can issue bonds and join in first, and in addition, the Mont Aerospace and Stone Consortium will privately contribute to the use of the state, and foreign countries will have to pay obediently if they want to use it. After all, 36,000 kilometers!

Meng Qian decided to set up this project and start working on it now.

Victoria also perfected the entire simulation program. At the same time, Mont Aerospace will have to pay close attention to the construction of rocket launches and space stations -- the other end of the elevator is in a synchronous orbit, and there must be a "terminal station", so before the elevator is built, the foundation must be laid in space and on the ground.

The entire state apparatus has already taken action.

The miracle of the southern hemisphere continues to play out. This scene of prosperity. It has also kept the attention of countless countries, and the five major ******** are interested in collecting intelligence in this regard: the mysterious FM-1 fighter of UME, as well as the FM-2 model and their air bases that have been frequently tested recently.

There are also their naval bases, shipyards where construction has begun; Army bases, army electromagnetic cannon systems; Nuclear fusion power plants, fusion material refining plants...... This series of facilities is under the supervision of overhead satellites and high-altitude reconnaissance planes. Not spared in the slightest.

UME intelligence was well aware of this, but could not stop it.

Because this is the only way for the country to grow, although the five rogue are cooperating with them, the vigilance has never disappeared, especially the United States, which has signed nuclear fusion technology and aviation cooperation, only to silence them on African issues.

However, it does not mean that the United States will not increase intelligence collection on UME.

According to satellite imagery, the United States has deployed B-2 stealth bombers, hypervelocity reconnaissance aircraft, and additional military personnel at its only military base in the central Indian Ocean, Diego Garcia Base. This series of actions is a testament to the fact that they have a shift in focus to us. ”

Victor is analyzing the current situation, the Garcia base is 2600 kilometers away from UME, whether it is a bomber or a reconnaissance aircraft, it can easily take care of both, and the weapons that UME currently has, it is difficult to threaten that position, FM-1 can strike, but it has not yet become an army.

Not to mention that equipped with FM-1, UME cannot attack US military bases.

At present, the UME at the development stage can only defend, even if there are a few advanced weapons, they still cannot win against the United States in a conventional war, and no matter how powerful the interception is, no matter how accurate it is, it will not be able to resist the opponent's super-saturation attack. Can you intercept 100 times per unit of time?

The enemy will attack 200 times, which is enough to destroy you.

The road to a great country is destined not to be easy, but with the existence of plug-ins, it will also be easier. At least for the time being, the remaining four hooligans have maintained a non-interference focus on the development of the UME.

Although Britain and France are members of NATO, they are only "regional hegemons", not the "global hegemons" of the United States, Africa is still too far away from Britain and France, not to mention that they also have technical cooperation with UME, the United States can not care, but Britain and France cannot afford this loss.

In addition, China and Russia are also only regional hegemons, Maozi has been languishing in recent years, consuming the Soviet Union's family base, and has no time to take care of distant Africa; China is in the south. The Sea and Pacific regions are at war with the United States, and they simply do not have the military strength to take care of Africa.

This situation has created that the only one who can really threaten the UME is the United States.

Other hooligans will not interfere heavily in Africa, either because of technology, because of military power, or because of strategy.

"So, we can intercept it?" Meng Qian heard a key -- the US military base in the Indian Ocean was the only one, and he did not dare to fight.

What's more, the situation is different from the 2000 year when the United States dominated the world, and China has become the number one adversary of the United States. Russia is also causing trouble in Eurasia, showing its presence. It is really not worth it for the US military to distract itself from dealing with a country with a threat No. 3.

"Yes." Victor replied in the affirmative, "I would like to solicit everyone's opinions now, the US military's high-altitude reconnaissance planes have invaded our airspace many times, how to deal with it?" ”

"By conventional means." Tiger spoke. "A few warnings to let the whole world know about it, but the United States will definitely deny it."

"Consistent urine." Meng Qian smiled.

Tiger said: "After we announce it to the world, if the US military reconnaissance plane invades again, the Air Force will intercept it -- it must be beautiful and convincing." ”

"Agreed!" Meng Qian is still young, his blood is in full bloom, and no one is afraid!

……

The US hypersonic reconnaissance aircraft SR-72, routinely approaching UME airspace at a speed of Mach 4.

Military reconnaissance of the UME began four years ago. Three years ago, it became a focus, and it happened to be after UME demonstrated a number of advanced technologies, especially nuclear fusion. Fearing that it possessed nuclear weapons, the United States deployed reconnaissance planes at the Garcia base.

UME shows a lot of technologies that surprise Americans, some of which they can't even do.

This African country has also slowly risen from the perspective of dispensability to strategic vigilance, and even squeezed into the third position. Second only to Russia and China. Think tanks analyze that in the next five years, they will have the potential to surpass Russia. become a more realistic threat.

Therefore, the US military's reconnaissance is meticulous to every place.

If it finds any signs of violations, such as nuclear weapons research, the United States will join other countries to impose sanctions on them to delay their development; If there is nothing, the United States will also find an excuse to cause trouble - this is the case with the current investigation.

SR-72 after breaking into UME airspace. The mission begins.

It was supposed to be an ordinary day, but this time, a clear warning came over the radio: you have illegally invaded UME airspace, please evacuate immediately.

The drone piloting the SR-72 did not care. This guy is capable of bursting at Mach 6 at maximum speed, what can catch up with it?

But this pride only lasted for a short time, and the radar showed that a super-high-speed target was approaching, and the opponent's fire control radar had locked onto itself!

The pilot immediately reported and took measures to get rid of technologies, such as electronic countermeasures, jamming chaff, etc., but to no avail, the two flying objects on the radar, kept approaching.

Subsequently, the pilot was given the command to get rid of it at maximum speed.

When SR-72 tried to accelerate to Mach 6, many people breathed a sigh of relief, but in the next second, it changed to a ghostly look!

The two mysterious planes caught up at a faster pace, with the command predicting that it would soar to at least Mach 8 before slowing down to keep parallel to the SR-72.

The reconnaissance plane also photographed its true face - the wing and fuselage were completely integrated, and the wingspan was so huge that it exceeded the standards of a fighter and was more like a bomber.

The infrared signature of the tail jet is not obvious, and it is obviously suppressed by special technology, but the overall stealth performance is not outstanding, only the level of F22.

The U.S. military wants to get more observations, but that's it.

SR-72 suffered from the opponent's electronic attack, and the defensive measures were completely useless, and the opponent provocatively displayed the missiles in the belly of the aircraft, signaling the US military aircraft to accept control; SR-72 tries to escape, but the system has malfunctioned, and if no countermeasures are taken, it may fall.

Between being shot down or being regulated, the Americans chose the latter.

Under the "escort" of two powerful fighters beyond the understanding of the Americans, the FM-1, the SR-72 landed at a military airfield in the central region of the UME, and the prepared UME Wehrmacht and technicians received the "Goddess of Dawn" reconnaissance aircraft.

The SR-72, which has always been claimed to be unable to find, catch up, or beat, has been captured for the first time!

The Americans in the command headquarters all had a **** look on their faces, and immediately informed their superiors that they would return the plane through diplomatic channels. They want to prevent technology leaks as much as possible, because the Chinese have always been interested, and they have a lot of influence in Africa.
