Chapter 449: Space Elevator - Test Run

Osawa, Simon Barbershop.

As the most formal, the most complete business and the most expensive business club in Daze, it is no longer open to the public, and only a few specific people are entertained.

But it doesn't matter whether it's profitable or not, even if it's a huge loss, it's still going to be business.

Because the proprietress almost went bankrupt after investing in wallpaper, with the guidance of adults and Huang Banxian's doorway, she invested in acupuncture cupping in North America and made a lot of money.

It has even been listed as a partner by the 'TEP University - School of Modern Chinese Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine', and has a steady stream of certified technicians.

It's just that the proprietress never thought that one day the Oriental and the adults would bring the North American Kangxi to her shop.

So much so that after the two of them removed their makeup, they and the employees were all a little at a loss.

Xu Fei looked around and renovated the palace, which became more and more detached from the actual palace, especially the package fee adjusted to 36,800 red banknotes, shook his head and said: "If you do this in other places, you may make a lot of money, but in Daze, we don't have any huge corruption, and we don't have any benefits for cashing out cards, you scare all the customers away, how can you make money in the future?" ”

The proprietress will definitely not say that this shop is specially opened for you, so that when you get a haircut, you will be wrapped around your head with the thread of a hair dryer, or when you shave, you will be wiped with a knife, or even drowned in the toilet for some reason.

"Thanks to Mr. Xu's concern, our store has become a brand image store, like a model room, used to train employees and promote business."

Xu Fei pondered and felt quite reasonable, "It's really like that." ”

Xiaobu's Huaxia language is derived from Lao Bu, and Lao Bu's Huaxia language is derived from 'fake Beijing films', so Xiaobu can't understand Huaxia, and when Xu Fei was talking to the proprietress, he walked into the dressing room by himself.

In recent years, the number of times Xiaobu came to the East has risen sharply, especially in 02 years, whether bright or dark, he ran three times, and the stay time was as high as 61 days.

This stems from Foreman's visit to the East, where he spent a month with the other party in the capital.

Later, Colston, a general in northern Mexico, visited the East, and he and his counterpart also spent a month in the capital.

However, compared to the capital, Xiaobu prefers Daze.

Because in the capital, in addition to the supply and marketing headquarters, what you see is always the old alleys and old palaces, and you can't see any development in the East at all.

And in Daze, you can not only witness the current situation in the East, but also get a glimpse of the future.

The status quo in the East is definitely OEM, which is equivalent to selling cheap labor in exchange for economic development.

Eastern Future......

Xiaobu looked at the time, in seven days, that is, on February 22, the world's first space elevator will be put into operation.

At that time, the East will become the new center of the world.

This is another important reason for his visit to the East.

A moment later.

Xu Fei wore flower pants and jumped into a deeper and larger hot spring.

Xiaobu sat on the shore, "Xu, what about the Kirov airship?" ”

"What is the total investment in that wall on the U.S.-Mexico border?"

"The cost per kilometer is 17 million, the total length is about 3,114 kilometers, and the cost of the entire project will not be less than 50 billion US dollars, but to engage in engineering, it is generally necessary to pay in advance, and it is impossible for the Congress to pay off at one time, and the down payment is estimated to be less than 10 billion."

"Do you think that my father made money in North America and planned to use this wall to trap him in? For example, if you advance funds and build 1,000 kilometers, you talk about quality problems, lock up my father, and transfer the project to another contractor. ”

"Impossible, Xu, as long as I'm still here, your father will definitely be safe."

"I believe it." Xu Fei nodded and said no more.

Seeing this, Xiaobu said again: "Airship order? ”

"If it was a combat Kirov, Foreman would certainly not agree, but a transport-type Kirov...... Germany's finances are tight, especially in the past two years, the frenzied manufacture of warships, and the demand for resources is also very large, if I lobbied one or two, it is estimated that it will not be a problem. ”

"That's great."

"However, Germany's finances are tight and resources are scarce, so perhaps Germany will purchase some metal materials from North America in the future."

"That's a good thing." Bob readily agreed.

After the Osawa Industrial Complex became the 'World Foundry', the world's resources were converging to the East, and then being processed into exquisite goods, and then flowing to all parts of the world.

In this process, North American steel, Harsco Industries and other old North American steel companies have all signed supply and demand contracts with Daze.

It's just that Debei is famous for its new materials, and Debei has never bought precious metals from North America.

The inclusion of metals as an add-on to the airship deal is equivalent to 'expanding the foreign trade market' for North America.

And the two reached a deal intention, and the next thing is to discuss the details.

For example, the construction period of 100 transport-oriented Kirovs, the date of the first deliveries, the follow-up warranty and maintenance issues......

Wait until late at night.

Deutsche sent an invitation letter to the TEP Group to visit the Foreman First Shipyard.

The next evening.

James led the team on a tour of the Port of Hamburg.

Three hours later, TEP Group decided to invest 350 billion US dollars to bring in 100 transport kirovs from Germany.

The news came out and shocked the world.

But considering the performance of the Kirov airship in the disaster of a cold cyclone, the countries of the world take it for granted.

Because everyone also submitted an order, but unfortunately the iron sheet company is out of stock.

There is support within North America.

In particular, the northern part of North America was hit by a blizzard, and more than 300 lost towns that only restored communication business even launched donations online to support the TEP Group.

February 18th.

The news of the Kirov airship has not yet subsided, and another piece of news shocked the world.

In order to curb the entry of drug lords from northern Mexico at the root, North America decided to spend 50 billion US dollars to build a protective wall on the US-Mexico border.

The project was open for bidding, and after a month of fierce competition, the world-famous Daze Construction won the first prize.

In this regard, netizens complained one after another.

"It's outrageous, if building a wall is useful, what else do the prison need the prison guards to do?"

"That's a drug lord, if you build a wall, people won't build a ladder?"

"They should follow the example of Daze, fence off the saline ground with barbed wire, and then arrange for dogs to patrol."

"It makes sense, predict a wave, Xiaobu built a wall to sell dogs!"

"Ditto!"

"Ditto!"

Sure enough, on February 19, the Pentagon in North America asked Carlyle, a defense contractor, to invest in the purchase of 5,000 military dogs, with a total order of about 15 billion US dollars.

Not to mention the reactions of netizens, Pupp, who is far away in Libya, jumped to his feet and scolded.

"Falk squid, this is my idea!"

It's a pity that Xiaobu can't hear it at all.

Of course, what no one knows is that Pupu, who was sent to Libya by Xiaobu to be 'embarrassed', has now become a North American super soldier.

It will charge forward in every battle, and will not be afraid to die.

And all the Libyan legions that encountered Pupp, including Xiaoka's pro-army, all cried and fled all the way.

This made the North American soldiers, who had lost their troops on the Libyan battlefield and had no results, worship Puna.

So much so that Pop soon formed the 'Popt Assault Team'.

"Wait until I get a few more regiments, and that position will be mine!"

β€œMake America Great Again!”

β€œMAGA!” (Make North America Great Again)

On this day, the most eye-catching person in Libya was not Kafiza, nor Xiaoka, who was promoted to major, but a certain cornhead.

……

February 21st.

Xu Fei spent a week taking Xiaobu who visited Daze for the first time to visit the entire Huangnigang.

From the old East Gate - Cultural Street, to Zenan - Central Business District.

From the river embankment - Huangnigang Scenic Area to Zezhong - underground industrial group.

From West Factory - Union Square, to Jersey - International Trade Center.

From Dongchang - Iron Sheet Research Institute, to Zebei - Home Star Airport.

and then to the newly invested electric vehicle-electrical equipment factory (electric vehicles are assembled and re-exported in Liangang), Flywheel Motor-new energy vehicle factory, Daze Energy-wind power and thermal power plant......

It can be said that Xiaobu has learned a lot.

But that's not what Xiaobu wants to see.

When he was sent to Daze International Airport by Xu Fei, he couldn't help but speak: "Xu, tomorrow, February 22nd, just the day of the trial operation of the space elevator, I have come, why don't I go with you to take a look?" ”

Xu Fei sent Xiaobu to the airport in the posture of chasing passengers, and indeed planned to go to the Himalayas overnight, and when he heard Xiaobu say this, he agreed without hesitation.

The investors of space elevators cover almost one-third of the world's countries and regions.

In the process of construction, countries and regions that have invested money or resources will definitely send people to supervise, and Debei has agreed to all of them.

So the space elevator project is not a secret.

Of course, the reason why it is not a secret is that the parent planet has long had such an idea, and the theory is feasible, but if you want to build a space elevator, there are two things that cannot be avoided, one is materials and the other is engineering.

Materials include: materials for the manufacture of tracks, materials for the manufacture of power units, materials for the manufacture of delivery equipment, as well as the technology for making these materials, and equipment for manufacturing these materials.

The project includes: elevator foundation items, elevator foundation items, elevator itself, and space station.

At present, none of the existing materials of the home planet meet the standards of space elevators, and no contractor can handle the basic items of space elevators.

As a result, such a great idea only exists in copywriting.

In addition, when you have materials and engineering, you must also have the 'ability to build'.

It's like sticking a dry noodle into an apple, when the apple rotates, we have to make sure that the dry noodle doesn't break, and when the apple rotates and rotates, we have to make sure that the dry noodle doesn't fly out.

Therefore, in the early stage of construction, the space elevator is faced with surface gravity, and in the later stage of construction, it is faced with space gravity.

Because this is an unprecedented project, no country can do this at present, and even in Germany, it is also extended to outer space in stages with the help of the "buildable range" of the "base module".

Therefore, Xu Fei is not worried about someone stealing the space elevator secret.

If someone does steal it and realize the space elevator, it will be a good thing for their own family, because the other party uses 'real technology' instead of relying on 'base power'.

When the time comes, the company will completely snatch the technology, and even dig people up.

In this way, we have 'real space elevator technology'.

It's night.

Xu Fei and Xiaobu took a T-shaped business plane and flew directly to Himalayan X City.

When the aircraft entered the plateau, galloping above the top of the clouds, through the window, you could see a looming black line between heaven and earth for hundreds of kilometers.

Facing the bright moonlight, below the black line is a huge 'hill', and at the top of the black line is a circle of scalp-numbing wind and clouds.

Xiao Bu was stunned for a long time and muttered, "Is this really a project that we humans can do?" ”

"Nonsense, it's not us humans, could it be a microbe?"

When Xiaobu heard this, his face stiffened and he didn't speak again.

Half an hour later.

The Model T business jet slows down and receives signal verification in the air.

At the same time as the verification, the moonlight illuminated the surface, erected dense anti-aircraft cannons, and ejected dense missile manhole covers.

Xiaobu took a deep breath and secretly clenched his fists.

When North America learned that the East was frantically building shelters, North America was alarmed.

Now we see such deployments, especially the steel lines that resemble river embankments......

Xiaobu suddenly panicked like never before.

He came up with TEP, or The Earth Precarious, which is at stake.

"Xu, remember a long time ago, you asked Raymond and asked me some thoughts about the warming weather?"

Xu Fei didn't want North America to know what the expansion film depicted, so as to avoid the other party disrupting his three five-year plans, so he immediately responded: "Yes, the weather is getting warmer and the world is frozen, this is a kind of fanciful idea of mine at the time, and it was later made into a 'day after tomorrow' movie, and the effect is super good." ”

Boo shook his head, "I'm not talking about movies, I mean, is it possible that it will actually happen?" ”

"You're not a fool, are you? That's just a movie, how could it be a reality. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Oh, you want to ask about the Vault, don't you? In fact, the shelter is to deal with a nuclear war, after all, the situation on the home planet is complicated, I always have to be on guard, in case North America and Germany really fight, no one in the world can avoid it, we have a large population in the East, we must always prepare in advance. ”

"You mean, Debei has made up his mind to start a nuclear war with us?"

After Xiaobu finished speaking, he suddenly thought of Berlin, which had realized the 'Shelter Project' one step earlier, and many cities in northern Mexico that had also realized the shelter structure, "Fake, Foreman is crazy?" ”

"Perhaps, he has been mentally a little abnormal recently, listening to the doctor, saying that he has been suffering from long-term financial constraints, and I don't know when he has depression."

Xiaobu was slightly stunned, and hurriedly took out the emergency communicator, and in front of Xu Fei, informed the North American Congress and the Pentagon of such an important news.

Xu Fei waited for him to finish his work, and raised his chin to the window, "As for the surface armament system...... Once the space elevator is successfully commissioned, it means that we humans have finally taken the first step towards space, which is different from your North American landing on the moon a few decades ago, because the space elevator can send engineers to the space station in a steady stream, and then send them to the moon, and then build space buildings very quickly and start the space industry.

When we have a space industrial base, human beings will use the moon as a springboard to attack Mars, Venus, and more distant planets, and then transport resources and new materials back to continuously expand the technology tree of the home planet......

This process will eliminate many old industries, crush a large group of original capital, and breed more new capital groups.

And the original capital, including the conservative old families, they will definitely come to wreak havoc.

You know, you North America lost a lot of peaceful warheads.

In the same way, in order to monopolize, new capital will also run to snatch the space elevator.

So, I created a powerful city of X to keep the space elevator running. ”

After Xu Fei finished speaking, if he didn't know that his own investment in a space elevator was mainly to test the thrust of the planetary engine, and to deploy the blasting moon in advance to avoid 'moon falling', he would almost believe his nonsense.

As for why helium-3 is not mined......

There is no relevant technology in its own base, and there is no relevant application technology in Germany.

Even if helium-3 is successfully mined with the help of a space elevator and a large amount of helium-3 is transported back, and the power plant in the form of non-base modules is researched, analyzed, applied, and built by itself, it is also a project that will take several years, or even more than ten years, to complete.

Therefore, its own energy mainly depends on the base's photovoltaic, wind power, thermal power, and nuclear power that will be built on a large scale in the future, and will not use helium-3, let alone 'heavy nuclear fusion', which has not yet been studied.

Of course, if the base unlocks new technology and there is a more powerful energy source, it will definitely adopt it.

Xiao Bu faced Xu Fei's words, thought for a long time, and chose to believe it.

After all, no one would have thought that there was a madman who was engaged in a planetary engine, planning to take the home planet to wander, or even planning to Boom the moon, or push the moon to wander together.

In silence.

After the deceleration, the T-type business jet activated the thrust reverser in the cold wind and landed vertically in the ice and snow.

The moment the flight attendant opened the cabin door, one after another X militias wearing white protective suits, snorkels inserted in the back of their heads, and integrated pig nose masks came into view.

Their individual weapons uniformly use the 'light energy rail gun', that is, the use of topological insulators as the barrel, the flywheel battery as the power source, and the hard graphite X ball as the bullet, which can be pre-accelerated in advance, but the pre-acceleration time cannot exceed two days Super kinetic assault rifle.

Its firing range is as high as 6,500 meters, with the help of a soldier computer, it can be used as a super sniper rifle, although the muzzle velocity of the 'bullet' cannot reach the Aegean Light railgun, but it is not less than 10,000 meters per second, far exceeding the muzzle velocity of conventional firearms.

It's just that such an advanced weapon, affected by the ejection of the bullet, the user must wear a soundproof device, otherwise the head will be split instantly, and wear a third-generation mechanical exoskeleton to counteract the recoil.

Therefore, the weapon cannot be used on a conventional battlefield.

As for what it's used for......

Fight unmanned aerial vehicles.

When the hostile forces peep into the space elevator, the radar communication integration project will scan the other party and connect to the individual computer, giving the user a way to aim.

Compared with anti-aircraft artillery to fight mosquitoes, missiles to fight mosquitoes, this is much simpler.

After Xiaobu understood, he was a little greedy and wanted to try it, but saw Xu Fei get into the 'matchbox transporter'.

"Xu, can you let me experience it?"

"I'm afraid you'll be ruined by the sonic boom, and North America will throw the pot on my head when the time comes."

Xiaobu shrugged his shoulders and stopped pressing, "Where are we going?" ”

"Inside the foundation of a space elevator."

The foundation is the earth beneath the house, and the foundation is the base of the house.

The role of the two, one is to carry and the other is to stabilize.

If the construction of the space elevator does not use mountains, based on the calculation of 8 tons of steel per cubic meter, you need to prepare 1,400 trillion tons of steel.

If calculated according to 4,000 red banknotes per ton, they will have to take out 50 billion red banknotes.

This is clearly not a 'human thing'.

Therefore, the space elevator uses the Himalayas as the foundation and Mount Everest as the foundation, and then makes graphite X material into steel bars, interspersed into the interior of the two to form a grid.

In terms of traction, if there is a device that can lift the Himalayas, this grid system can hold for 3 seconds and then collapse.

But there is no such device in the world, and the role of the grid system is only for stabilization, or rather. After the space elevator is built, it is used to alleviate the gravitational pull from outer space, also known as 'counterweights'.

Therefore, as long as the size of the space station does not exceed the Himalayas, its own system can support the operation of the space elevator.
