Chapter 576: Here We Come, Space Station Zero!

After a long wait, the space elevator of Xingchen Technology was finally officially completed, and a grand ceremony was held on January 1, the eighth year of its establishment, to celebrate this great historical moment.

After giving a solemn and impassioned speech, Luo Jia pressed the start button, and the two space elevators ran at the same time, slowly accelerating towards the unknown starry sky overhead, and soon after, reached the standard ascent speed.

After the elevator stabilized, Luo Jia and the accompanying staff unbuckled their seat belts one after another, and came to the porthole with excitement to look at their home planet from afar.

"At an altitude of forty-seven kilometers, it has reached the top of the troposphere and is about to enter the mesosphere."

"At an altitude of eighty kilometers, it has successfully crossed the mesosphere and is about to enter the warm layer."

"The height is 483 kilometers, the warm layer is crossed, and the elevator enters the escape layer to operate."

"The altitude has reached 3,600 kilometers, welcome to space..."

The melodious electronic synthesis girl kept coming, and under her prompting, Luo Jia and the others experienced the most magical moment in their lives, they broke away from the earth at a very fast speed and entered the dark and deep space.

"It's so beautiful!"

"Look at the mountains, the rivers!"

"It's amazing, it's like a dream!"

Beside Luo Jia, the straight men of science and technology couldn't help but shout excitedly, looking at the blue planet that was getting farther and farther away at their feet, and couldn't help but feel excited.

Dreams will come true one day, but first you must be extremely strong in your heart, protect the truth you believe in, resist all temptations and slanders in the world, and find your own glory.

"Mr. Luo, do you want something to drink?"

"According to the plan, you're going to have a terrestrial interview and broadcast it live to the world later."

The staff around him reminded that it was only at this time that Luo Jia realized that he had been standing in front of the porthole for nearly an hour, and his legs were slightly numb.

During the twelve-hour journey, the passengers in the elevator will interact with the ground many times, and inform everyone of the feeling of riding the space elevator.

"Black coffee is fine." Luo Jia said.

The staff immediately entered the pantry, brewed a cup of instant coffee, and except for going to the toilet, everything was broadcast live to the earth in real time, including their conversations.

Earth's audience was so excited that they thought that riding a space elevator would be similar to making an airplane, cramped and cramped, with dreary and foul air and loud noise.

However, this is not the case, the seats of the space elevator are all composed of luxury sofas, which are more spacious and comfortable than high-speed rail staterooms, and are equipped with kitchens, showers, emergency medical rooms, etc.

After drinking a cup of coffee and tidying up a little, the live broadcast began, with Luo Jia smiling as always, facing the camera and answering the questions that the audience was interested in.

"Inside the space elevator, there is no gravity, the reason why you see me walking upright is because at the bottom of the space boot, there is an electromagnetic device, and under the floor, there is an artificial gravity generator, which can provide a part of gravity, but in general, the gravity of the elevator belongs to the category of magnetic force, which is still a little worse than the centrifugal force of space station zero."

"We still have some scientific bottlenecks to break in order to achieve the creation of gravity at will, and our goal in the future is to build a real gravitational generator."

"The gravitational generator is very important, in addition to preventing astronaut muscle atrophy, assuming that the gravitational generator is powerful enough that we can use it to capture asteroids..."

……

Cape Canaveral, Florida, North America.

"Capturing an asteroid with a gravitational generator? It's too big to brag about, isn't it!? ”

"Didn't you just build a space elevator, do you want to drag it like this?"

"The desire is boundless, I'm afraid that soon, the earth will not be able to fit the star technology."

Musk frowned, surrounded by the sour chatter of his colleagues, and at this moment the whole world is cheering for Xingchen Technology to create history, but there is such a group of people who are unwilling to admit the excellence of the tough guy Tiantuan, and ridicule them with vicious language.

"It would be nice if there was a meteor all of a sudden, it would feel good to hit Luo Jia's group."

"You can use our near-earth communication satellites to adjust the orbits of the satellites, let them move in the direction of Weigu Island, and crash into the space elevator, even if the graphene cable of Xingchen Technology is strong, it is impossible to block the continuous crit of the communication satellite."

"If only we had a geological weapon, we could launch a 12-magnitude earthquake and tsunami and sink Weigu Island directly into the Pacific Ocean."

"There was a real earthquake near Weigu Island a while ago, but unfortunately the magnitude was too small to pose a threat to the space elevator."

Listening to these words, finally, Musk could not stand it anymore, and he shouted: "Enough! Say no more! ”

"Instead of sour mockery, let's think about what to do, Washington has exploded, and now it urgently needs a plan that can confront Xingchen Technology, which of you has an idea?"

When Musk said this, there was a dead silence on the scene.

Against the space elevator?

This problem is too difficult, at present, the most powerful project in the West is the Starlink project, but it is completely different from the space elevator, no matter how strong Starlink is, it can never go beyond the scope of the earth, and the operation of the space elevator has allowed the Chinese people to lead the world and enter the interstellar era.

Look at the massive Space Station Zero, where thousands of scientists and engineers will live in synchronous orbit, conduct large-scale space experiments, and build starships in dockyards for long-distance voyages.

A majestic city like this in space is not only a miracle, but also an unparalleled miracle!

……

"Did you see them?"

"Well, I saw it, Luo Jia was standing at the window of the porthole, and he could see it very clearly."

"How's they doing?"

"I don't know, it's much better than us anyway, Xingchen Technology's space elevator not only has a huge space, but also has an artificial gravity system, a bathroom and a kitchen, which is like us, and you have to use a plastic bag to pee."

Just as the space elevator was moving fast, Luo Jia didn't notice that far away, there were a few people who were quietly observing themselves with space telescopes, and the place where they were at the moment was called the International Space Station.

The ISS is jointly operated by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of North America, Roscosmos, the European Space Agency (ESA), the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA).

It is not difficult to see from the list that the world's major players in the space field are the operators of the International Space Station, and even Brazil and South Korea have a place, except for Huaxia.

In 1994, North America refused to allow China to join the International Space Station, and soon after, they implemented stricter space control, not allowing any satellites containing North American parts to be handed over to Huaxia for launch, and later, when the time came to 2011, North America announced that no individual was allowed to have any contact with the collective, and the Huaxia Space Group, let alone technical exchanges, not even to meet and say hello.

"We've finally made ourselves a joke." On the International Space Station, Canadian astronaut Cristiano muttered.

"What do you mean by that?" Neon astronaut Ono asked, puzzled.

Cristiano pointed out the window, the space elevator that was very far away, and said, "Isn't that obvious?" Huaxia's Sky Elevator has started to operate, who will remember us? Compared to their huge space station zero, our 330 square meters of space is like an ant, isn't it a joke? ”

Ono frowned and nodded slightly, Chinese people often say that people have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away, probably this is the case.

At this time, the voice of Russian cosmonaut Dzyubaev came to their ears, "What is this, the real joke is that back then, you would rather pull us Russia than take Huaxia to play, it is clear that you want to humiliate the Chinese people." ”

"But now, the Chinese have built a space elevator and built the space station Zero, and I heard that they will soon build starships and bases on the moon and Mars to mine helium-3 and other rare minerals."

"And you? can only squeeze into the narrow and dark metal pipes, look at them obscenely with binoculars, watch the Chinese people take the spacious and modern elevator into space, watch their space station slowly rotate, watch all this happen quickly, but there is nothing to be done, this is the real joke, I knew it was so, why was I arrogant at the beginning, but now it's good, I was slapped in the face, right? ”

The relentless sarcasm of the Russians made the North American astronaut Addison's head flutter, "Russians, don't say it as if it has nothing to do with you, these non-religious Chinese people have space hegemony, and it is not good for you!" ”

"You have also read the Vatican's open letter yesterday, and now at this critical moment, whether it is Catholicism or Protestantism, Orthodox Christianity, whether it is Lutheranism or Methodism, or the Evangelical Church, we must unite! Against these unreligious barbarians! ”

Zyubayev smiled bitterly and gradually fell silent, although he hated North America, but in the end, Russia still believed in Jesus.

……

"A person in a rotating body is subjected to the Coriolis force when he remains standing, according to the Coriolis force formula: F = -2 mω ×v', ω is the angular velocity of the foot relative to the axis of rotation of the space station, and v' is the linear velocity of the head relative to the foot."

"Then, according to the principle of centripetal force to simulate gravity, it is easy to conclude that ω^2*r=g, (2*piω)*v'=2*pi*h, where h represents a person's height..."

Luo Jia didn't pay attention to how much envy, jealousy and hatred the world had for himself at the moment, and he kept broadcasting live during the elevator ascent, propagating science, opposing religion, and boosting the morale of every Chinese person.

The twelve-hour voyage passed unconsciously, and it wasn't until the staff reminded Luo Jia that he noticed the time, he looked down at his watch, and then looked up at the top.

At the end of the graphene rope, a huge, spinning, magnificent, sci-fi, incredible, dreamlike synchronous orbiting space station is rapidly approaching.
