When Liu Weiping was about to despair, an order from the Houston Ground Control Center came, "Space Power Station, please get out of the way, the large supply module on the ground will be launched soon and docked with you!" ”

"Large supply pods? Could it be that picking me up and taking me back didn't the first few months make me steady and wait for more important tasks? Liu Weiping couldn't figure it out. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

On October 12, 16, the first launch of the space elevator on Uhuru Peak in Kilimanjaro was launched, all the electronic filming equipment above the launch was cleared, and the media were invited to the viewing platform behind the electromagnetic shielding wall in the distance to shoot.

Knowing that the first launch was to launch a supply module for the experimental space power station, everyone was inevitably disappointed, but after all, this was the first launch of the space elevator, and it still had great news value.

With the countdown on the viewing platform, everyone's mood was extremely nervous, many people covered their ears, and a reporter pretended to know very well, "The space elevator is an electromagnetic railgun, which is launched with electromagnetic force, and there is no sound." "Some believed him and opened their ears.

The word "emitted" was displayed on the electronic screen.

The crater erupted, there was really no sound, everyone couldn't hear the sound at all and saw the crater erupt!

No, the loud howl that pierced the eardrum still came, but behind the eruption! Everyone covered their ears.

The supply module has broken through the sound barrier underground, and when it rushed out of the crater, the shock wave of the air quickly vaporized the condensed fog beads in the air, and a transparent wavy line was ejected in the dense fog, and then the evaporation layer on the surface of the insulating tile burned into darkness continued to fall off, and the water in the air behind it was ionized and burned into a huge fireball, which reacted with the evaporation of the thermal insulation tile and made a sharp sound.

Before everyone could react, the underground coolant nitrogen vaporized and shrouded the entire crater. By the time the reporters looked up, the supply pod had long since disappeared, leaving a faint trail of mist in the thin air at the top of the mountain.

The wildebeest herds in the Kenyan savannahs scattered in all directions, their hundreds of thousands of years of genetic evidence that the volcano had erupted again, a dangerous sign that the media at the foot of the mountain, who had not been able to obtain invitations to the ceremony, filmed another spectacular animal migration that lasted far longer than the few milliseconds of the summit launch.

Liu Weiping could not see this spectacular launch spectacle because it happened to be daylight when his orbit passed through East Africa. When the engine of the supply compartment slowly adjusted the track from horizontal to vertical, Liu Weiping laughed at the stupidity of the designer.

After the docking of the supply cabin was completed, a group of robots that crawled out of the hatch made Liu Weiping stupid, it was Honda's Asimov robot, that's right, Liu Weiping drifted to the front of one of them, facing the camera black glass above his head, in the strong sunlight, in the convex mirror is his own avatar, the two are exactly the same, Liu Weiping looked at the other robots, a total of twelve, it seems that a mold came out.

"Space power station, please synchronize your maintenance records with them, synchronize the frequency and login password, we will upload it now, please accept." Just as Liu Weiping was curiously looking at these kinds, Houston's order came.

"Houston, what's going on?" Liu Weiping asked as he accepted the data.

"You are their host, Prime Minister Karl personally gave you the task, put into practical space power station will be launched and assembled this week, your task is to train a repairman for each space power station, after they take up their posts, you will return to Earth, Prime Minister Karl will give you a **** order."

"My data records can be passed to them in less than a second! Am I going to be back on Earth right away? ”

"Nope! We're going to have two drills, and soon we're going to move an abandoned geological exploration satellite into your orbit, and the debris from the destroyer Anshan in the Pacific Ocean that destroys it with laser cannons will hit the space plant's organic film again, and you're going to assign a repair mission to each robot and evaluate their performance. ”

"And when is the second drill?"

"After the first space power station is assembled and migrated to sun-synchronous orbit."

"How long will it take?"

"Three months!"

"So long?"

"This is already a miracle of the space industry in the age of artificial intelligence! Be patient! Back on Earth you can have human identity, congratulations, robot! Houston closed the call.

Liu Weiping had no choice, he glanced at the Asimov robots floating around in space, and really doubted that they could control their posture and float into endless space.

But he soon found himself thinking too much, and the robots were in unison, with their hands on their knees, and they used their gravitational pull to gather together without seeing the jets of gas in the jetpack.

"These robots are probably fed into a proprietary learning program, and their attitude control is much better than mine! The level of artificial intelligence on the planet is developing too fast. Liu Weiping secretly wondered if his old method was outdated, and he synchronized the repair memory data to the host of the twelve robots according to the instructions of the ground control center.

These robots confirm the synchronization success signal to him through the bit data stream, and Liu Weiping, who is used to communicating with humans in natural language, suddenly receives this bit data stream and is really a little unaccustomed to it, but this kind of communication is almost negligible fast, which is much more convenient than communicating with humans.

Maybe it is the real fate that he should return to the world of robots, and for a few minutes, Liu Weiping is not so much looking forward to the human identity that Carl will give him.

Sure enough, after the space power station flew around the earth a few times, an old-fashioned satellite caught up near orbit, and the long solar panels were thick and hard, not at all like the soft organic film of the space power station.

I saw a faint bright spot on the main body of the satellite flashing, "This is probably the ground laser cannon aiming." Liu Weiping's judgment was correct, and then the main body of the satellite was shrouded in a dazzling light spot, and in an instant, the main body of the satellite gasified and ejected countless small particles, the solar panels were torn apart, and the large pieces of debris smashed the organic film of the space power station into a hornet's nest again.

Twelve Asimov robots lined up in a line, and the first robot took out the repair liquid spray cans and passed them on one by one, neatly and meticulously.

It's terrible, isn't this equivalent to a human cloning, Liu Weiping is afraid when he thinks about it, human beings must have written the three methods of robots in these robot hosts, otherwise human beings will definitely not have the courage to produce these robots with learning ability.

It's no wonder that some people on the earth oppose themselves, human beings have always thought that Liu Weiping's program came from the Boston mechanical dog, how did they know that Liu Weiping was a living person restored in the digital world by mistake, Zhao Yonggang is right, he shouldn't have such deep contact with humans, sooner or later he will show his feet, and then all mankind will definitely unite to kill himself.

While Liu Weiping was thinking wildly, twelve Asimov robots had already sprayed all the small holes in the organic film.

"Report to Houston, they did it fast and well, better than me!" Liu Weiping connected the call with Earth again.

"Houston received, this is a robot that has been optimized for repair work, and their efficiency will get higher and higher with exercise, and there is absolutely no problem for a robot to cope with a space power station of 100,000 square kilometers!"

"100,000 square kilometers! Will it be done in three months? Liu Weiping's mind was quickly assessing.

"Yes, 100,000 square kilometers, please believe in the current speed of industrial robots! Prime Minister Karl's wish is that all fossil energy on the planet is stopped! ”

The freight railway, which was contracted by China's high-speed railway, runs all the way to the halfway point of Wuhulu Peak, and a two-way, four-lane tunnel leads the railway to the bottom of the space elevator, and trains come and go endlessly.

All 15 nuclear islands in the Geta mine are running at full capacity, and in addition to supplying the production lines in the industrial area around the lake at full capacity, additional electricity is sent to the space elevators.

The largest empty-ground shift in human history has begun, and the space elevator will be non-stop every second, launching more than one million tons of materials into low-earth orbit within three months.

The most strainable was the nitrogen plant on the summit, and when it really started continuous launches, it was found that the air on the top of the mountain was thin and the coolant had no time to replenish, so a new nitrogen supply pipeline had to be built from the foot of the mountain.

The space elevator is running at full capacity, launching 500 tons of payload every half a minute into the parking orbit, and the fake volcanic eruption on the summit has become accustomed to the animals of the savannah, and they have returned to their old habits.

On the mooring orbit of 200 kilometers from the ground, a huge operation site unfolds accordingly, the space power station is built layer by layer on the basis of the riveted grid, and the sunlight reflected by the skeleton with a diameter of more than 1,000 meters looks several times larger than the moon from the earth, people of insight pointed out that this will destroy the habits of the creatures on the earth, but fortunately, the project has been prepared, and the skeleton riveting is coated with a layer of light-absorbing material, and the sky is back to normal.

Liu Weiping was able to catch a glimpse of the progress of a real space power station when the sun-synchronous orbit and the parked orbit intersected, and looking at the growing skeleton, he believed that Houston's commitment was not unfounded.

Two months later, the space power station with a plasma engine began to change orbit, and the space power station was pushed into the opposite orbit of Liu Weiping, such a giant that generated enough gravity to change the orbit of Liu Weiping's experimental power station.

On the ground, NEC Electric continued to recruit, and their chief engineer projected an S-belt along the trajectory of the space power station on a world map, planning a cluster of 240 relay stations along the major urban belts on the five continents covered by the S-belt, and the international coalition asked them to start NEC construction at the same time. This is different from the experimental power station, the first space power station will generate enough electricity to meet the needs of the whole of Africa, and the huge amount of energy is too much to waste if it is too much to invest in the astronomical amount of money upfront.

Unlike the experimental power station, the space station was sent to sun-synchronous orbit before the installation of conductive wires, which were laid into a web of 100,000 square kilometers by microrobots the size of hundreds of thousands of cigarette packs. This time the spider web is close to the Earth's side, and the main body of the station is set up to face the sun, which looks like a large inverted parachute from space.

Hundreds of thousands of tons of organic thin film solution slowly grow along the spider web under the action of the latest catalyst, and the central part of the canopy is set up as a large cavity, which is the channel for the high-energy transmission microwaves emitted on the main body of the power station.

The thin film around the hole began to be used to generate electricity, which was mainly used to supply the auxiliary plasma engine on the space plant. As the organic film solution was rolled out, the auxiliary plasma engine was ignited. The solar wind creates a moment on the power generation film, which forces the power station to turn on the auxiliary engines to maintain its orbit all year round.

The space power station has not yet been put into actual power generation, making Saturn Energy the largest company on Earth by market capitalization, and its stock value exceeds that of all listed companies on the New York Stock Exchange combined.

As the production of the film is nearing completion, every hour and a half on the earth, a shadow of millions of square kilometers passes from the North Pole to the South Pole, and because the projection line speed on the ground is too fast, there are unexpected consequences, first the animals react immediately, and the animals panic where the shadows pass, and several large nature reserve animals rush into residential areas.

Even more troublesome is the impact on human life, traffic accidents are frequent in areas where manual driving is common, but Saturn Energy reacted quickly, and they quickly found a repair solution, spraying additives on the edge of the power generation film to improve light transmission, so that the shadows of the ground form a natural transition, but this lost nearly three layers of electricity. Saturn Energy's share price has not been affected, and people are not worried at all, and there are still eleven power stations waiting to be launched.

Just when Liu Weiping was anxiously waiting for the ground to notify the repair exercise, the mission came ahead of schedule, and as experts expected, the probability of 100,000 square kilometers being hit by a meteorite in a sun-synchronous orbit was not low. When the most marginal part of the organic film was growing, a meteorite suddenly appeared, smashing a big hole in the film, and even the conductive wire was broken.

Liu Weiping and Asimov maintenance workers separated from the experimental power station, and after two days of slowing down and waiting for the real space power station, he passed the video of the completed repair work to Houston and asked, "Houston, is there a launch schedule for the return capsule?" ”

There was silence at the Houston ground control center, and there was a murmur from Liu Weiping's receiver from time to time, which was the beginning of microwave transmission and commissioning of the space power station.

"Houston, is there a timetable for the launch of the return capsule?" Liu Weiping repeated it again.

"Please wait, we are transferring to Geneva, and Prime Minister Karl will speak to you personally." In the background of the ground control center is the voice of the report to Carl, "Mr. Prime Minister, Liu Weiping is already online, you can talk to it." ”

It? Liu Weiping wondered how Houston could make such a grammatical mistake.
