Star Arrow International, Ladder Engineering Project Department.

This morning, Luo Sheng came to Star Arrow International and attended the meeting with Liu Jianwei's team and others, and Zheng Tao was also present.

"In the past two years, the Forerunner 2 space station has actually been built and mothballed, and the biggest project below is a 'stitching game'." Zheng Tao spoke at the meeting.

Modern manufacturing, are modular manufacturing, and then assemble like building blocks, this aspect of the domestic technical experience has accumulated very rich, after all, a year can build a 100,000-ton aircraft carrier launched sea trial, large-scale, supporting manufacturing is the biggest secret, which requires a strong and complete industrial system to do.

Non-superpowers are not competent.

The two Forerunner space stations will be built on the ground first, and then launched, docked in space, and modularly assembled.

Including the core ladder cable, in fact, it is also manufactured on the ground, and the process is the most difficult, it is necessary to achieve a nano-scale carbon chain, and at such a small scale, it is necessary to ensure that a whole line is 36,000 kilometers long, and it cannot be used if it is broken.

Reels and rolls of carbon nanocables are launched into the space factory on the Forerunner 2 space station, where tens or millions of nano-scale ropes are bonded together to form the final thick and long ladder cable.

There are two sections of cables, one connecting the low-orbit platform Pioneer 2 and the Pioneer 1 space station in synchronous orbit, which is more than 36,000 kilometers away, which is the longest and most difficult section.

The other section is the base of the Orbital Starport Sky Tower connecting the low-orbit platform Forerunner 2 space station and the surface equatorial line, which is relatively short, with a length of only more than 400 kilometers, which is equivalent to about 1% of the former compared to the former's ultra-long span of 36,000 kilometers.

At the meeting, Luo Sheng crossed his arms and turned his head to look at Zheng Tao and asked, "When will the No. 1 space station be built?" Also, Professor Liu, how is the rope made? ”

Zheng Tao took the lead in replying: "The ground engineering stage of Pioneer 2 will be completed, at least until around 2026, at least about five years, and the next three years will be mainly focused on restoring modern industry and economy, and the production capacity and efficiency cannot be as good as before the storm." ”

Subsequently, Professor Liu Jianwei replied: "The process progress of the ladder cable has been completed by about 28%, based on the current progress, if nothing else, the rope will definitely be ready before the Forerunner space station is fully deployed." ”

Hearing this, Luo Sheng looked at the ceiling, nodded to himself, and said to himself: "So, Forerunner 1 will be built in two or six years, and it will take twenty-nine or thirty years to complete the space deployment, and it will take about ten years for the ladder to be fully completed. ”

Everyone at the meeting was embarrassed, and they were still dissatisfied with the slow progress of the project when they heard Luo Sheng's tone.

Is this still slow?

You must know that this is not an ordinary project, it is an unprecedented vast project in the history of human civilization, plus there were twists and turns during the period, and the storm tossed a round, and the Europeans and Americans did this project, giving them half a century to do it, maybe half of the time was arguing whether the project could be passed, and finally came to the conclusion that it could not be built, and it was given no.

Luo Sheng looked at everyone and said: "The ladder is a thing, the merit is in the locality, and the benefit is in the future, of course I hope it can be faster, faster, faster, but it must be stable and fast, stable and overbearing, try to be as fast as possible under the premise of ensuring this, and I will not be stingy with money to buy time." ”

Zheng Tao said with a smile: "Mr. Luo, the ladder is full of funds, but it really can't be spent, and it has reached the limit." ”

It's hard to make money, in fact, it's even harder to spend money, throw 100 billion to you, so that you can use this money reasonably, this money is not everyone has the ability to spend it, the difficulty is in a "reasonable" word.

What's more, the ladder project is spent in trillions at every turn.

After the solar storm, people all over the country continued to live as usual, and they were quite scared before the storm came, but after the storm came, they found that it was not as bad as they imagined.

As long as people are there, nothing is a problem.

At present, most of the people in China have received a low-interest loan, which has alleviated the urgent need, and citizens in some cities who are burdened with huge mortgage pressure have also obtained corresponding loans without defaulting.

As the days passed, the radio stations began to receive good news that the lack of communication would soon be restored, and the coastal areas would be able to access the Internet again after December.

Everything is slowly getting better, and the Chinese people are naturally full of hope for the future, at least not despairing.

In stark contrast, abroad, there is little hope, and in some places even despair, and the death toll from secondary disasters is still increasing.

The solar storm triggered a large-scale migration of people at high latitudes, and the crisis of the recurrence and spread of the sequoia epidemic, which had been initially controlled, is truly a blessing and a disaster.

……

Mapleton City, Oregon.

Dozens of reporters surrounded in front of a company building, and when they saw a middle-aged man walk out of it, they immediately swarmed up.

"Mr. Victor, there have been rumors recently that in the process of doing life science research, your lead gene has taken some extreme behaviors and forcibly abducted some people for human genetic modification experiments.

Faced with the siege of a group of reporters, Victor stopped, turned to look at the reporters and responded: "Ridiculous, these statements are just baseless rumors, if this is the truth, I am not facing you now, but the FBI." The world is chaotic enough, when will you media give up the hype and dig up the news that is truly valuable and meaningful? And how many of you know how much effort our scientists have put into the fight against the Sequoia pandemic? ”

"The slogan of the lead gene is people-oriented, our ideal has never changed, committed to the exploration of human gene life science, through the deconstruction of the gene sequence, understanding, through the repair of the external link gene, can greatly develop the human immune system to improve the potential of human beings, we always believe that the lead gene will use the power of science and technology to create a better future for all mankind."

After saying that, Victor turned to leave, ignoring the group of reporters' questions, and his accompanying bodyguards blocked the reporters.

Victor got into his car and drove away.

This special car is also not small, with a history of 87 years, produced in 1934, this car is the "Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith", only 491 units were produced, and was forced to stop production after the outbreak of World War II.

The car was originally intended to be a collector's item, but now that the storm has passed, Hyundai is almost finished.

Victor left the city of Mapleton in this classic luxury car and drove into the Mapleton Forest Reserve, where a secret research institute was established and not known to outsiders.

Inside, an isolated laboratory, Victor entered.

“BOSS！”

"How's the trial going?" Victor said succinctly, glancing at a subject lying on the bench, whose hands and feet, including his waist, were fixed.

One of the researchers present approached Victor and said, "There are still some issues that have not been solved. ”

"Huh?" Victor stared at him, "Could it be that something went wrong with your mutation experiment?" ”

Victor's verbal attitude is the same as his appearance, giving people the impression that he is not a good stubble, and the employees above and below the leading genes are actually very afraid of their bosses.

The researcher quickly explained: "There is no problem BOSS, the mutation test has been proven successful, and you are the best example." ”

Victor immediately ordered: "Then inject him with K-092 mixture." ”

When the researcher heard this, he quickly explained: "Not yet, boss, he is not completely ready, there are at least twelve data samples that have not been analyzed, if you inject him with K-092 mixture now, it is likely to cause rejection, and his safety cannot be guaranteed." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Victor suddenly raised his hand and pinched the researcher's neck, only to hear the sound of a broken spine, so the researcher was pinched off his neck with one hand on the spot, and then remained on the side, killing him on the spot.

This is not the strength that ordinary humans can have.

He turned to look at another researcher in the lab, "Do you need me to repeat this to you?" ”

"Yes! Be! It's ...... obey orders."

After the researcher who was almost stunned reacted, he hurriedly began to do so in the overstart, and Victor sneered and said: "Although you test, the test subject died violently, more test subjects will be sent to you, in the current chaotic world, people are dying every day, and no one cares." ”

During this time, the lead gene took advantage of the chaos to arrest a lot of civilians for live experiments, and now this situation is not much attention at all, and the people who have been arrested have issued death certificates to these people through some means, and died from various secondary disasters such as fires and solar storms.
