In the face of the cyber attack in North America, Luo Jia responded in the live broadcast of his column the next day, pointing out that the reason why Huaxia can continue to this day is not because of the city wall, but on the spiritual strength of countless predecessors and sages, although tens of millions of people have been in the past.

All ancient civilizations are dead, only the Chinese civilization is still alive, and the reason is by no means that our ancestors hid behind the city walls and shivered.

The so-called decay and backwardness, but only a hundred years in modern times, before that, the Chinese ancestors were very violent, looking around, the surrounding neighbors, which has not been cleaned up?

Luo Jia's witty and passionate speech attracted the audience's enthusiasm, and then, he changed his words and finally started today's topic, pressing the remote control with his fingers to turn on the big screen.

"It's Station Zero!" As soon as the picture appeared, someone shouted.

I saw that in the dark starry sky, it was the No. 0 station where the central axis had been established, and this picture was broadcast live to the world through satellites at a fixed time every day, so everyone would not feel unfamiliar.

However, today is obviously different, the camera zooms in, and the hatch at the top of the central axis of Station Zero is opened, revealing a strange machine, pointing far away at the blue earth beneath your feet, and the robot construction team is surrounding this machine, nervously and busy doing the final inspection.

"What is this?"

"It can't be some kind of weapon, right? Something like space-based weapons. ”

"How is it possible, with Huaxia's strict control, if it is really a weapon, it will never appear in Luo Jia's personal column."

"It makes sense, no matter how good Xingchen Technology is, it is also a private company, and it is impossible to master space-based weapons."

There was a lot of talk in the audience, and no one believed that there was a weapon on Station Zero, but the machine pointing at the Earth did resemble some kind of launcher, which confused everyone.

At this time, Luo Jia smiled and said: "Tell the truth, in a while, we will launch a rope from Station Zero to the earth, and then fix the rope on Weigu Island, Indonesia, and then let us connect our colleagues on Weigu Island, the person in charge of the space rope project, Dr. Cao Yuan." ”

With Luo Jia gently waving his hand, the picture changed, from the dark deep space to the island with blue seas and waves.

Looking down from the air, there are many large and small ships moored around Weigu Island, and there seems to be a fleet of the Chinese military on the distant sea.

It was discovered that this desolate island near the equator has now completely changed its appearance and has become a base-like location, with the interior of the mountain being the key hub of the space elevator that is not open to the public, and the island is relatively free around it, with many amusement and living facilities.

As for the transportation of Weigu Island, it mainly relies on shipping, and ocean-going vessels equipped with large ultrasonic motors have amazing speed and low cost, and have formed an absolute monopoly on the global shipping field.

Maersk, Evergreen, Hyundai, the former shipping giants have gone bankrupt and collapsed, and the earth shipping has ushered in a new era of Chinese hegemony, but because shipping and people's lives are relatively far away, the public usually does not know much about this field.

"Hello everyone, I am the dean of Xingchen Science and Technology Materials Research Institute, Cao Yuan." Cao Yuan faced the camera and said a little jerky.

Due to the need for secrecy, the camera only swept over the island of Weigu and then moved to the beach, and the engineering structure inside the island was not revealed to the public.

"As we all know, our carbon fiber technology is currently the strongest on the planet, and the reason why we can support such high-strength shaking, including the Kármán vortex power generation array, is because the carbon-based material is far more powerful than steel."

"Today is another milestone in the history of materials science, because we are about to phase out high-strength carbon materials and open a new era of nanomaterials, carbon nanotubes, as well as stronger and more expensive graphene nanotubes, are about to officially enter the stage of history."

Cao Yuan is worthy of being a top genius, with extraordinary bearing, sharp language, and the depth and breadth of his thinking are by no means imaginable by ordinary people.

In Cao Yuan's context, nanotubes, a top-level material for the future, are vividly depicted, and people are beginning to understand that nanotubes are like many cotton wools of amazing strength, with a structure divided into single and multiple walls, which can not only be used alone, but can also be mixed into other materials.

For example, injecting nanotubes into conventional steel will increase the strength of stainless steel by more than ten times, while retaining the characteristics of easy molding and repair, and can also be injected with traditional carbon fiber materials, or even into building materials, which can be used to build skyscrapers at a height of thousands of meters.

As a result, the use of nanotubes will be greatly expanded, and if you want a ceramic mug, but you don't want the quilt to be too fragile and easy to break, then you probably need a high-strength mug with nanotechnology.

Suppose you, like many straight men, hate shopping, welcome to buy nano suits, from panties and socks, to T-shirts and jeans, nano suits will never fade, and will never be damaged, a person's life, as long as this set of clothes is enough.

"Clothing with nanotechnology can also play a role in heat preservation, so that we don't have to wrap ourselves tightly and dress up like a bear every winter."

Cao Yuan said while using virtual animation technology to demonstrate, due to the excellent thermal insulation performance of nanomaterials, even in the future in the weather of minus 20 degrees, only a shirt can be worn, girls can only wear stockings on snowy days, even if they go to the South Pole and the North Pole, all they need is a single-layer jacket.

"That's too handsome, isn't it!?"

"Xingchen Technology is awesome!"

"I love you guys to death! Finally, I can wear a skirt in winter, even if it snows heavily! ”

"Sure enough, it's a trick to eat all over the world, materials are considered to be the basic projects in all scientific research, Xingchen Technology has invested in the foundation for many years, and finally received a rich return!"

"Another big man, Mr. Ren of Hua Wei, is the same, he recruits a large number of mathematicians, physicists, and I heard that he has also set up a mathematics laboratory in France."

The Chinese people cheered, while the Western people felt aggrieved, and carbon fiber was eliminated? You know, Western companies led by Shin-Etsu Chemical and DuPont Group have not yet caught up with high-strength fibers, and Huaxia has eliminated carbon fibers and entered the carbon nano era!? That's too big a gap, isn't it!?

In addition, everyone seems to have vaguely understood something from the history of Xingchen Technology, setting up a research institute of materials science, recruiting troops, breaking through carbon fiber and graphene, and then nanoning on the basis of graphene, obtaining carbon nanotubes and graphene nanotubes, and finally putting nanotechnology into the space program and daily life...

This is a complete material science upgrade path!

Step by step, there is no difference, there is no greed for merit, there is no stagnation, and finally the harvest is amazingly fruitful, no breakthrough in materials science, there is no Carmen vortex street power generation, no space program, after summarizing, it is not difficult to see the importance of basic scientific research to enterprises and countries.

Cao Yuan devoted a lot of space to introducing nanotube technology, and nanotube technology does deserve such an honor, from the main structure of the zero synchronous orbit space station to the underwear that will never be damaged, nanotubes can do anything, and their practicality is unparalleled.

Three titanium alloys, superconductivity, graphene, the three future materials, respectively by Ji Ming, Chao Anbang, Cao Yuan, the three ace teams tackling, with the passage of time, Luo Jia's layout in the field of materials science, will surely reap the frightening fruitful returns.

"Mr. Luo, my introduction here is over." Cao Yuan said to the camera.

His task today is to take everyone to see Weigu Island, and by the way, talk about the black technology of nanotubes, Cao Yuan, who is already a member of the Authority, will often face the camera in the future to strengthen the propaganda offensive.

Immediately afterwards, the smiling Luo Jia appeared in front of the camera again, and he released a demonstration animation, and the animation content made scientists all over the world fall into unparalleled shock and great depression.

To be sure, the animation isn't complicated at all, with graphene nanotubes and carbon nanotubes mixed together to form a thin rope, which is then released by a high-precision torque-elastic machine that falls from space to Earth, passing through the atmosphere, and just above the terminal facility on Egu Island.

"Don't! No! Don't! ”

"It's not true, it's not true!"

"Synchronous orbital station? Nanotube ropes? Plus a foundation located at the equator!? ”

"Oh my God, those Huaxia people, they're crazy!"

Countless scientists are shouting hysterically in their offices or homes, and people with basic space knowledge and scientific literacy can easily associate an extremely crazy existence from the three key words, that is, the space elevator.

Once China has a space elevator and the West does not, it will undoubtedly open up a huge gap between the two largest civilization camps on the earth.

Boatloads of precious minerals will go directly to the earth from all over the galaxy, and it is as simple as going home for the Chinese people to enter space, and they can even consider organizing primary and secondary school students from all over China to study in low earth orbit every summer, turning the solar system into the back garden of China.

For the West, space is a distant dream.

And for the East, space is just one part of home.

Just thinking that future generations will grow up in huge shadows and depression, seeing the 36,000-kilometer-long giant tower of Babel in front of them, Chinese children taking the space elevator back and forth between the earth and the moon every day, and Western children can only squat on the ground and play in the mud, scientists feel that their hearts are about to break.

After Luo Jia finished playing the demonstration animation, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "What everyone saw just now is our plan. ”

"Mr. Musk and the North American authorities' Starlink plan may be great, and we want to build a bridge to connect the earth and the universe, and the name of this bridge is Channel 1."

After saying this, Luo Jia turned around, his eyes full of anticipation, and looked at the huge screen behind him.

In the dark starry sky, the central axis of Station Zero is like a cannon barrel, pointing directly at the blue earth, and then from the open mechanical catapult device, a titanium javelin is fired, and the back of the javelin is connected to a 36,000-kilometer length of nanotubes.

Swish~

The timing and angle were accurately calculated, and it will arrive over the island of Wegu after a few hours of flight.

On February 15, the seventh year of the establishment of Xingchen Technology, the space elevator program began!
