Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Earth's Starport is online

There are also many styles of the starport, not the original super-giant of the Tolan Starport: a clutter, many parts of which are old technology, like a large number of O'Neill-like cylindrical space stations at the center point, which generate artificial gravity by rotating along the main axis.

But the current artificial gravity field generator is stable and affordable, and you can adjust the gravity as much as you love, but it lacks a sense of historical simplicity.

The earth is a small star port, in the simulation effect hologram, it is based on a round beehive space station as the main body, the diameter of the upper bottom is 3000 meters, the bottom is 500 meters, the total length is 5000 meters, and it is theoretically no problem to stuff 1 million human beings.

This is certainly not comparable to the volume of Tolana, which can accommodate tens of billions of people, but it is also fully equipped, such as a customs center, gift shops, hotels, etc., as well as a very distinctive airship hot pot restaurant, floating in space on some broken airships to make hot pot.

The four sides of the space station are not blocked, but the hive-like docks are dense, and can accommodate 5,000 small and medium-sized spacecraft. Self-driving tourists come and directly find a vacant seat to drive in, maintenance, supply and other services are available, and technician robots will do these well.

Next to the space station, there is also a row of large and giant docks, which can be reoriented at any time. Even if the Mickey Pro comes, it will be able to anchor in port.

On the other side of the arena, you can see clearly from the observation deck on the top floor of Starport, there are racing tracks, there are battle spaces, and there are several laps of spectator pipes that can accommodate millions of spectators, and these pipes are also obstacles for racing competitions, and the participating ships will shuttle between the pipes, which is very exciting.

The spectator pipeline is connected to the space station, and the space station is connected to the space elevator.

The 36,000-kilometre-long space elevator will descend from a synchronous orbit to a beach in the Maldives on the surface, where a ground reception station with a teleportation kiosk will be built to take you anywhere from the starport.

"Are the drawings correct and do they need to be revised?" Tolan foreman Mao Zhenfei asked.

This kind of big project, not only uses generation technology, but also a lot of installation details and adjustments, and the slightest deviation from the track can have very dire consequences.

"No, that's all." Lin Fang made the final decision. Nathan Fei, as the governor of Starport, also confirmed: "Fellow Tolan, go to work." ”

"Hey!" Mao Zhenfei shouted, and more than fifty construction ships suddenly started, first the main space station.

"It's time to build!" The reporters on the camera ship exclaimed, and the global audience also boiled. These spacecraft dropped a batch of spawn boxes to build the framework of the main body, and released an incalculable number of micro-flying robots, which were busy in space, overlapping the main body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This busy work has not been completed in an hour.

"Meow ......" Mao Dabao yawned and said to Xiaoyu and Wang Xiao: "You look at it, I will squint for a while." It jumped on the console and fell asleep.

On the side of the Shenyun, Lin Fang was already lying on the couch of the ship reading comics, Dongmo Tonggong was reading magazines, and Wei Miao was playing with his mobile phone.

"How long will it take?" Exile, the three giants asked, I really regret coming up. The physicists couldn't take their eyes off it, and Nathan Fei was very proud.

Although this is a super miracle, many viewers are also a little unable to hold on, just like the previous live broadcast of the space station docking, at the beginning of the excitement, gradually hypnotized by the discussion of experts and hosts...... Hurry up and dock!

It took another hour for the main space station to be built, the artificial gravity field was activated, and each dock of the hive lit up.

"Hello, this is the Earth Starport." The super management agent "Bee Bee" was launched.

In the jubilation of humanity, the construction team continued to lay the pipes, and after another hour, the arena was completed.

Nathan flew through the Exile and rushed over as soon as possible, shuttling through the audience pipes, silently whistling through space. Wei Miao also started the Shenyun to race, and Dongmo Tonggong was happy: "Sure enough, there is an arena to enjoy!" Lin Fang nodded: "Isn't it 1 billion?" ”

Other spacecraft such as the Cat Group also joined in, and the 500 trainees, except for former ISS astronaut Regie Andrew, shouted excitedly, all as calm as old monks.

"We see the Starport completed! A miracle in the history of mankind, a miracle in the history of the earth! ”

"Hello, Pearl of the Earth!"

"It's so beautiful!"

Without giving the reporters much time to sigh, the construction team was going to build a space elevator.

There are also many styles of space elevators, some of which are cone-shaped structures, with the thickest synchronous track and tapering up and down, and the overall pull of this design will be the same everywhere; Some are thick and straight structures, and the earth buys this, with passenger and cargo passages.

The built space elevator is actually more than 36,000 kilometers, because it still needs to have a part of the upper end. The upper end is above the synchronous orbit, and the movement speed is higher than the orbital speed, so it will escape into space and pull the elevator upward, but the part below the synchronous orbit is falling to the ground, generating a downward force to pull the elevator downward.

In this way, one end is pulled up and the other end is pulled down, creating an internal tension that makes the elevator seem to be suspended there.

"The space elevator is not built on the ground, it doesn't need a foundation." TV experts gush, "It doesn't fall, it doesn't float away." We pray that it doesn't fall sideways, oh my! The circumference of the Earth's equator is 40,000 kilometers, and it will grow so much, imagine! 40,000 kilometers is a big number, and it takes 32.6 hours to travel at twice the speed of light. We're still curious, what exactly is that building material? ”

"Captain Zhen, what kind of material is used?" Coincidentally, Lin Fang was also asking.

"It's something called vibranium." Mao Zhenfei replied while directing the construction team to work.

The Tolan people first built the arrival part of the elevator on the synchronous track, and then installed the upper and lower ends at the same time.

When the largest construction team lowers the lower rope, another ship pulls it to the surface at sub-light speeds. The earthlings were all shocked, it was 36,000 kilometers long! This vibranium rope can strangle the earth to death.

After a while, visitors to the Maldives were amazed to see a ribbon-like thing hanging from the sky, the wind could not blow it at all, and it was fixed there hard and strangely, just five meters above the ground beach, and gravity could not help it.

"Where is God!?" The TV pundit shouted excitedly.

Too many viewers covered their mouths, stared wide, and were completely overwhelmed by the unbelievable emotions.

"Success, success......" On the Exile, the physicist jumped and shouted like crazy, "Physics has succeeded!" ”

"Blessed is the moon." Nathan laughed.

"Hey, don't forget who made the earth ebb and flow." On the Shenyun, Lin Fang said.

Dong Mo Tonggong shook his head helplessly, "Why did I put up with you rotten people?" ”

"Like gathers like." Lin Fang said again.

(Wei Miao: What about my lines?) )

Then, the construction team began to process the 36,000-kilometer rope, which was simple, they put a generation box every 1000 kilometers, a total of 360, and then generated the elevator. The upper end is also concocted in this way. Then connect the station in synchronous orbit with the space station, and build a ground reception station on the beach.

That's it, the space elevator is completed, and the Earth Starport is completed!
