Before watching Luo Jia's weekly routine live broadcast, Musk rushed to the airport in a hurry, got on his Gulfstream G650 private jet, and rushed directly to the White House.

People are still on the way, Musk got the news, Shurakel of the Semiconductor Alliance, Mason of Oak Ridge Laboratory, Jerry of Bell Labs and others are also on the road for the first time, it seems that North American scientists are not confused and know that this is the rhythm of something big.

The president also gave Musk face, sent a special car to greet him, and took Musk directly from the airport to the White House.

After all, the president is a politician, no one in the scientific community likes politicians, don't look at the surface everyone is very respectful, that is only for the sake of power and money, Musk is the liaison of the authorities, coordinating the cooperation between the authorities and major scientific research institutions, and is the liaison hub between the authorities and those stinky scientists, many things, the president also depends on Musk's genius identity.

"Wouldn't it? Luo Jia himself said that he wants to pull up a rope between Station Zero and the Earth's equator, how can he get to you, it will become a space elevator? After listening to Musk's eager words, the president said puzzled that in his understanding, ropes and elevators are not the same thing.

"Your Excellency, do you actually believe Luo Jia's words!?" Musk wanted to cry without tears and said: "How did he kill Google back then?" Also, he deliberately leaked the structure of the Carmen vortex Street power generation array, but did not tell us that only carbon fiber materials with a strength of more than 6,050 can withstand violent vibrations, causing us to lose a lot of money in the imitation process, and also took dozens of lives. If he can tell the truth, then there is a ghost! ”

Seeing that Musk was emotional, the president was stunned and said: "Could it be the propaganda they did for nanomaterials?" If this rope successfully reaches the earth from the synchronous orbit and is still unscathed, it is enough to prove that Xingchen Technology's new materials have extremely powerful properties, so that they can make efforts in the field of construction and clothing, and occupy a huge market share. ”

The well-known Xingchen Technology Group, competing for market share in the clothing field?

Musk looked at the president with flamboyant blond hair and his confident eyes, and suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

……

Luo Jia's live broadcast ended on time, however, the plan to build a space elevator had just begun, and the whole company couldn't sleep at night, waiting for the latest news in the direction of Weigu Island.

When the javelin dragging the rope appeared over the equatorial sea, it was already the early morning of the next day, like a black line approaching the horizon, and after a whole night of flight, the rope departed from the synchronous orbit, passed through the atmosphere, and finally came to the earth.

Click~

The rear of the titanium javelin unfolds like a small parachute, using air resistance to reduce speed.

The space rope made of a mixture of carbon nanotubes and graphene nanotubes withstood the test without breaking, and with a bang, the titanium alloy counterweight javelin fell into the water, and the rope that followed the fall continued to fall from the sky.

The place where this happened was far from the people, in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, otherwise it would be regarded as some kind of miracle if it was witnessed by the islanders who lived nearby, after all, a large piece of rope fell from the sky, stretching for more than 30,000 kilometers, this kind of thing is too unimaginable.

Military personnel, who had been waiting in the nearby waters, immediately rushed up and operated the diving machinery to salvage the ropes.

Rope No. 1 is now not forced, and its length is far more than 36,000 kilometers, after all, it is only a quarter of the thickness of a human thumb, even if it uses advanced nanotube materials, it is impossible to pull the distant and huge Station Zero, and the real purpose of Rope No. 1 is actually only traction.

After the diving machine grabbed the rope, the staff quickly fixed it in the depths of the center of Weigu Island, and then the engineers installed an ultrasonic traction motor on the No. 1 rope, and behind this traction motor was the No. 2 rope.

"Let's go!"

With the order of the on-site commander Cao Yuan, the ultrasonic motor began to accelerate, climbed into space, and sent the No. 2 rope to the synchronous orbit along the No. 1 rope, and the robot construction team waiting for the No. 2 space station will fix it at the bottom of the space station after getting the No. 2 rope.

At this time, there are two ropes that connect the earth to Station Zero, and if you continue to do the same, you can turn two ropes into four, four into eight, eight into sixteen, and sixteen into thirty-two.

When there are enough nanotubes connecting the Earth and Station Zero, it can produce an amazing pulling force, tightly tying the space station and the Earth together, like a thin string pulling a kite.

……

"With the joint research results of the intelligence department, the science department, and the space department, we have confirmed that the thing that Xingchen Technology established on Weigu Island is a space elevator." Musk said these words in a heavy voice in the conference room.

"Space elevator!?"

"Shouldn't space elevators be sturdy buildings? Why are there many, many soft ropes? ”

The generals and ministers raised many questions, to which Musk could only say with a wry smile: "The sturdy space elevator, that is the Tower of Babel in the Bible, and the Chinese people do not believe in God, they built a tower of science, set up soft nanotube ropes, and then use the earth's rotation to bind Station Zero to the earth like flying a kite." ”

"I estimate that it won't be long before they get enough nanotubes, maybe a thousand, maybe 5,000, I don't know, but I know that so many high-strength nanotubes add up, enough to support a space elevator with a load capacity of tens of tons, or even hundreds of tons."

Hundreds of tons!?

Everyone was shocked and speechless, the speed of the space elevator is not very fast, the speed of the rocket into space can exceed the speed of the first universe, the space elevator is improved by a motor, and the speed is definitely not as fast as the rocket.

But the key is the cost, the space elevator uses electricity, and electricity is almost completely free for Huaxia, which has the power generation technology of Carmen Vortex Street!

"What's even more terrifying is that the space elevator can not only deliver goods to space at a near-non-existent cost, but also transport goods from space back to Earth." Musk said in a deep voice: "If the minerals on the earth are like a grain of sand, then the minerals in the universe are like the boundless sea." ”

"Once the space elevator is built and space mining is developed, the existence of people like Australia and Canada, who are themselves sparsely populated and start by selling resources, will be the first to be affected and quickly fall from developed countries into poverty."

"Of course, the impact of the space elevator on the world, there must be more than that, as we all know, there are a large number of helium-3 stored on the moon, the synchronous orbit station is called Project Zero, and the space elevator is called Project 1, I think, the next No. 2 project of Xingchen Technology should be the moon base."

There was silence in the conference room again, and everyone felt that things were really going on.

"Damn, I really want to use Tomahawk missiles to knock down Huaxia's space elevator!" A bald general, his eyes shining fiercely, clenched his fists hard.

Although more than one person is thinking in their hearts about blowing up the space elevator of Xingchen Technology, anyone knows that it is impossible, because Huaxia is a nuclear country.

We should thank those predecessors who created the miracle of two bombs and one star in the difficult years, and look at the attitude of North America to devour China alive and hate, it is not difficult to imagine that if China is not a nuclear country, the current situation will definitely be more difficult.
