Chapter 193: New Material Launch
"Ladies and gentlemen, journalists and friends from all over the world, welcome to the new material conference of the umbrella company, I am the host of this conference, Gwen Stacy, and also the CEO of the umbrella company, everyone here should know me, I will not introduce myself here."
"There is only one focus of this press conference, that is, the steel cable material of the space elevator, and a series of questions about whether it can be mass-produced, these questions will be answered one by one in the next time, please wait and see."
Gwen stood on the rostrum in full makeup, facing hundreds of reporters, talking and laughing, showing the demeanor of a CEO of a large company.
George Stacy, the mayor of New York and Gwen's father, sat proudly in the audience and looked at his wonderful daughter.
"Now I would like to invite the president of our umbrella, who is also an advocate of the construction of the space elevator, and the world's most famous inventor, Mr. Wang Khan."
In the midst of applause, Wang Khan wore a gray suit and walked up to the stage calmly, and in his hand, he was also holding a metal box thirty centimeters wide.
With Wang Khan's appearance, the sound of flash and camera shutter rang out, and at the same time, the press conference was also broadcast live all over the world.
Politicians from many countries, bigwigs in the political and business circles, and even many underworld figures are watching this live broadcast.
There is no way, the cosmic elevator is related to the future of mankind, and the impact is even more multifaceted, as long as you still have a little pursuit, you will not miss this live broadcast.
"The world's most famous inventor? This guy really dares to say, hum! ”
Tony Stark, who was also watching the live broadcast, looked unhappy, Pepper smiled and didn't speak, while Banner sat on the reinforced and widened single sofa and watched very seriously.
On S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury was also watching the live broadcast, accompanied by his first loyal dog, Corson, with a serious expression.
"Corson, do you think the steel cable of the cosmic elevator was really invented?"
"Director, although Wang Khan is arrogant and domineering, he has never faked in terms of invention and creation, not to mention that the whole world is paying attention to this matter, so it is even more impossible for him to be fake."
"Alas...... Once the steel cable material is successfully invented and can be mass-produced, the cosmic elevator will inevitably be built in a very short time, and at that time, Wang Khan will become a great hero of all mankind, and dignitaries from all countries will list him as guests, and if it is really then, no one will be able to limit his ambitions. ”
Nick Fury, a person in the advanced stages of persecution paranoia, always thinks about problems from the worst perspective.
When someone else wins the lottery, he will think that this person will start to attract fans, prostitute women, and gamble badly.
When someone drives a luxury car out, he will think that this person is likely to go fishing on the side of the road, and then lift his pants and deny it, hurting a group of ignorant girls.
Even when someone buys a few bags of fertilizer to use in his small garden, he thinks that this person may be trying to make a bomb and rob a bank.
In short, anyone is an object of suspicion in his eyes, and if possible, he wants to arrest all suspects and keep them under his nose.
"How's the fish oil factory going?"
"Director, the company's procedures have been completed, the factory site has been selected, as long as the formula is down, you can start work at any time."
"Very good, you don't have to worry about the formula, it will be given to you when the time comes, it is very important to remember this matter, don't mention it to anyone but me."
"Understood."
Although he had 10,000 questions to ask, Corson wisely did not open his mouth, anyway, with what he knew about Nick Fury, this fish oil factory was definitely not about making money, it must have a deeper meaning.
At the press conference, after some introduction, it was finally time for the exhibits to be revealed, and all the cameras were pointed at the box in Wang Khan's hand, and the latter took it upon himself to open the box little by little, and then a bundle of hair-thick wires appeared in the lens.
Politicians, business tycoons, and scientific experts who are most concerned about this matter all widened their eyes.
Wang Khan didn't pretend to be too forced, reached out and took out the bundle of wire, and then straightened it.
"This is the new material that will be used in the cosmic elevator, I named it honeycomb gold, it is a strange metal with a honeycomb structure, with high temperature resistance, cold resistance, corrosion resistance and other functions of the new material."
"What's more, it's very lightweight, as you can see, and at the same volume, it's as heavy as your hair! As for its strength and toughness, we will know it by doing an experiment on the spot. ”
Wang Khan waved into the distance, and then a heavy truck drove into the venue of the press conference, and Wang Khan walked over, and the reporters' cameras followed.
"This is a very common truck in a beautiful country, weighing about 50 tons, and it also has 50 tons of building materials in the trunk, which adds up to 100 tons, and I will use this honeycomb gold to lift the whole truck."
The umbrella staff immediately came, they first drove a heavy crane, then tied the truck with a wire rope, and finally the part of the crane hook connected to the truck wire rope was honeycomb gold.
The whole process was completed in front of the reporter's eyes, and it was also filmed by Jingtou, and everyone who watched the live broadcast could see the whole process.
When the two ends of the honeycomb gold's hair are connected to the hook and wire rope respectively, the crane starts to start.
As the hive gold tightened, all the reporters and the people in front of the live broadcast all held their breath and watched with wide eyes.
There was a subtle sound of metal twisting, and as the crane continued to exert its strength, the truck, with a total weight of 100 tons, gradually lifted off the ground and was literally lifted.
There were endless exclamations at the scene, and the lenses of all the cameras were all aimed at the honeycomb gold, and the big close-ups from all angles allowed all the audience to see that this was not magic, let alone fake, but real!
The honeycomb gold, which is the thickness of a hair, actually lifted a 100-ton truck! This simply refreshes the limits of materials science!
"Great invention! This is definitely the greatest invention in materials science of this century! ”
Banner stood up directly, with seven PhDs, he knew too well what the appearance of Hive Gold meant.
As a layman, Pepper said the truest words.
"Only the thickness of a human hair can lift a 100-ton weight, so if it is thickened to the volume of a real elevator cable, wouldn't it be able to lift a freighter? So, is the cosmic elevator really going to come true?! ”
"Hmph, the cosmic elevator is not only a problem of steel cable materials, but also long-distance power supply, artificial gravity, resistance to cosmic radiation and solar wind and many other problems."
After complaining a few words, Tony stood up with an unhappy face, turned around and walked out.
"Tony, what are you doing? The press conference is not over yet. ”
"Don't look any further, I admit that Wang Khan won this game, but the cosmic elevator is just the basis for human beings to enter the universe, and if human beings want to really enter the interstellar era, the most important thing is the warp engine, and I will win against him in this regard!"
Unwilling to admit defeat, Tony rushed into his laboratory angrily and started a new round of research and creation.
