Matchbox heavy transporters, resembling steel behemoths, gallop through the Himalayas in the face of the frost.

Inside the car.

Xu Fei and Xiaobu sat on their backs in the capsule-style seats, tasting the jasmine tea newly invested by Leifei Technology, while enjoying the section of the space elevator with the help of the on-board TV.

Long.

Xu Fei felt a little thirsty, picked up the teacup and just wanted to take a sip, suddenly remembered something, his hand moved slightly, and the corner of his eye saw Xiaobu unrestrained cow drink, and immediately pretended to take a sip as if nothing happened, and disguised:

"In fact, this project is far from being as complicated as imagined, just like the foundation, according to the outside world, it should be tamped, or piled, or cast-in-place piles, etc., but the Himalaya is so huge that it is impossible to use conventional foundation laying methods, so we used a tunnel boring machine similar to a shield machine."

"It's just that it's much smaller than the shield machine, and there is no need to consider problems such as collapse and water seepage during use.

After activation, under the action of remote control technology, it is like a greedy snake, drilling around the Himalayas, and then pulling special graphite X materials and carbon nanofiber materials into the tunnel, each crisscrossing until it covers most of the mountain range, which constitutes 'another form of pile foundation'. ”

"Then, we extended these high-tech materials upwards and interspersed them in Mount Everest, like a steel cage, and we also had the foundation of the space elevator."

"And then there's the main body of the space elevator."

"The space elevator has eight main beams, which are in the shape of a gossip as a whole, and a topological insulator tunnel is set in the middle......"

Xu Fei said this, seeing that Xiao Bu finished tasting a cup of jasmine tea, he hurriedly and politely helped the other party to refill another cup, "The topological insulator is externally insulated and conductive internally, and we have built a light energy railgun and a light energy rail car with the help of this material before, and have been put into operation for a year, during which there have been no failures and accidents, indicating that the technology has matured." ”

"By transplanting this technology, that is, topological insulator tunnels, to a space elevator, we can not only realize the laser-driven graphite X-ball up, but also add electromagnetic pulse technology to enhance the ascent speed."

"It stands to reason that at this point, we can place the space vehicle in a tunnel composed of topological insulators, just like the particles in a particle accelerator, and like a light energy rail car shuttling in the tunnel, so that the graphite X-ball traction vehicle can rise rapidly in a vacuum."

"But vacuum can't solve the gravity problem, and the output of topological insulator materials is far from meeting the needs of the 1,000-kilometer-long 'space tunnel', and only eight 1-meter-diameter tubes can be built at most."

"That's why we use the 'flywheel electromagnetic' power technology, which is to connect a special permanent magnet material to the graphite X-ball, both of which are in a vacuum, reducing frictional resistance and air resistance."

"Then, through the wall of the topological insulator, we connected the space vehicle from the outside in a magnetic way."

"To further reduce gravity and air resistance, we used an improved peacekeeping bomber that can be raised and lowered vertically as an elevator car."

"When the time comes, the head of the peacekeeping bomber will be facing up, the tail will be facing down, and eight topological insulator pipes attached to graphite X will be connected around the body, and it will fly autonomously first, driving the graphite X ball to accelerate, and then the laser cannon will be activated, and the graphite X ball will in turn drive the peacekeeping bomber to rise, and when it reaches an altitude of 20,000 meters, the electromagnetic pulse will be activated, accelerating beyond the first speed of the universe, until it reaches the space station 1,000km above the surface."

"Of course, today is only a trial run of the space elevator, and we have not yet sent the space station to it, and we need to wait for the successful trial operation before we can carry out the project."

After Xu Fei finished speaking, he saw Xiaobu empty the cup again, and hurriedly lifted the kettle.

Xiaobu burped and waved his hand, "I may have a bit of altitude sickness, but I'm not very thirsty." ”

"Altitude sickness? Then you should drink water, which is conducive to promoting metabolism and relieving symptoms, believe me, I understand RNA technology. ”

“……”

A moment later.

Matchbox heavy transporters arrive in City X.

After a year, the changes in X City, both in appearance and prosperity, can be described as earth-shaking.

For example, it has a resident population of 8.5 million farmers who have migrated from Kyrgyzstan Province, as well as retired cadres who have successively moved here from many iron and steel companies.

For example, the floating population has super large companies such as Iron Sheet Company, Daze Group, Hongqi Industry, Great Wall Industry, Oriental Aerospace Science and Technology, and Oriental Aerospace Industry, and has sent over millions of engineers, hundreds of thousands of technicians, and tens of thousands of scientific researchers.

For example, there are more than 100,000 people from all walks of life from West Asia, South Seas, East Asia, Europe, North America and other places, or permanent office or short-term travel.

For example, the trade volume, the total steel import volume in 02 years, is three times the world's total steel production, about 3.2 billion tons (here involves the stock problem, that is, the production of steel, but the steel can not be sold. ）

And the city of X is not without export volumes.

For example, Kunlun natural water, which is made from the snow of Mount Everest, sells well all over the world.

For example, Chinese herbal medicines such as Cordyceps pothos, Eucommia, Snow chrysanthemum, Tianshan Snow Lotus, Gastrodia, Ganoderma lucidum, Musk, etc., with the popularity of RNA therapy and the more rampant influenza, have gradually become high-value decoction pieces to improve their own immunity, and have even been certified by the North American Medical Responsibility Association, the North American Medical Association and other institutions.

These certifications are quite impressive, because Chinese medicine sounds great in the East, but in fact, even in China, it is difficult for patients to go through medical insurance reimbursement for the use of traditional Chinese medicine, let alone North America, which does not recognize traditional Chinese medicine.

Therefore, there is no TCM certification in North America, and if you open a TCM gym, it is equivalent to 'operating without a license' and 'practicing medicine illegally', including acupuncture, massage, moxibustion, taking medicine, etc., which are all illegal behaviors.

Of course, Dongfang has also made efforts, such as launching the 'integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine', hoping to obtain a Western medicine certificate and then promote traditional Chinese medicine.

It's a pity that it takes time, and the rise of citizen hospitals......

Nowadays, TCM and TCM are the sub-technologies of RNA therapy, that is, 'Modern TCM and Modern TCM', and have been certified by countries around the world.

Among them, traditional Chinese medicine has legally entered the North American medical system in the form of 'decoction pieces', and has become a drug supplement second only to 'Leifei capsules'.

Natural water and Chinese herbal decoction pieces look inconspicuous, but in fact, these two are all high consumables, especially natural boiled Chinese medicine, the effect is superb......

As a result, in 02 years alone, the two created hundreds of billions of US dollars in exports for X City (normal sales of 2 billion + money laundering of 98 billion).

In addition to farming and steelmaking, the rest of the farmers and retired cadres in the steel industry who have moved to the Himalayas are loading water, processing traditional Chinese medicine, and packaging traditional Chinese medicine.

In addition to these industries, X City also has a logistics port that connects the world, a duty-free zone, a temporary storage area that is exempt from import and export procedures, a tourist memorial area, an energy development zone, a fighter aircraft manufacturing area, a plateau environmental vehicle research center, and so on.

If you count the space elevator project and the super space station project, the GDP of X city ranks first in the East, surpassing the capital and the magic capital.

As for the contrast to Osaw......

Daze is an industrial park, which belongs to the Huangnigang Special Development Zone, not the city, and still has the title of 'town'.

Therefore, in March this year, after the deputy director became a regular, Lan Dong, the person in charge of X City, will definitely be able to enter the board of directors.

If you add Uncle Sun of the emergency management system, the old lady of the supply and marketing council lying on the bed, and the development and reform beam who sits firmly in Dongshan......

And the one who could have gone in......

We're somebody to the north.

Pondering.

The heavy transport truck passed through the city of X, and after much verification, it drilled into a tunnel where the fingers could not be reached.

The autopilot function is activated, and the headlights illuminate the various forks in the road ahead like a honeycomb.

After more than half an hour, the vehicle was parked on a platform.

After a while, the platform descended, and the altitude was reduced from more than 5,000 meters to 4,000 meters, 3,000 meters, and 2,000 meters......

Another half an hour later, a hall comparable to a football stadium appeared in front of me.

The hall is filled with self-exploding spiders and various intelligent robots, which is very similar to coming to an alien base.

Seeing this, Xiaobu took a deep breath.

His visit to the East this time seemed to be to negotiate the Kirov order, but in fact it was to enter the command of the space elevator.

According to the RAND Corporation's speculation, since the space elevator is a semi-public project, and North American capital is the third largest investor, as long as Mr. Guan is thick-skinned, Xu Fei will definitely bring him here.

Then, according to the information collected by the North American intelligence system, such as the defense system of X City, the number of militias in X City, and the industrial cluster of X City, Xiao Bu can also test whether Xu Fei is a microbial host.

Because of the existence of X City, how to look at it, how to look like a 'mother nest' built by microorganisms.

Of course, as the governor of North America, Xiao Bu could not risk his life, if the microbes dared to hijack him, or erode him, his buried protective device would be activated, and all the peaceful warheads in North America could arrive within half an hour with just one order.

So the seemingly calm home planet is actually always on the verge of a devastating war.

Xu Fei didn't know what Xiao Bu was thinking, let alone that all the missile silos in North America had been activated, and he took a proud and arrogant step to lead Xiao Bu to the united front area.

Look at the time, at 5 a.m. on February 22, there are only 3 hours left before the space elevator test run.

And such an unprecedented experiment naturally attracted many 'viewers'.

Including the German Aerospace Delegation, the Ice Bear Aerospace Delegation, the European Union Aerospace Delegation, the Oriental Aerospace Science and Technology Delegation, the Non-regional Aerospace Delegation, etc., as well as various non-governmental organizations and non-governmental organizations.

Strangely, people from NASA North America did not come.

But Xiaobu is here, and it seems to be reasonable.

It's been a long wait.

At 5:30, there was a power outage throughout the Himalayas.

At 5:40, all the power supply facilities in Himalaya switched to Line 1 and were running at full capacity.

At 6:00, the laser cannon began to store energy and was ready to start.

At 6:10, the particle pulse system is plugged in.

At 6:30, the space orbit was energized and the test was correct.

At 6:40, the Himalayan foundation project and Mount Everest foundation project started the monitoring system, that is, each 'steel bar' interspersed in the interior of the mountain, which has real-time detection functions, including tension, tension, thrust, pressure, traction, etc., which is used to monitor the inclination of the space elevator, as well as the various impacts of the space elevator on the foundation and foundation, to avoid total collapse.

At 7:00, the silver-white improved peacekeeping bomber flew to the top of the main peak autonomously and, under the manipulation of engineers, landed vertically in the established position.

At 7:10, eight topological insulator vacuum tunnels attached to the graphite X main beam passed three inspections and ion implantation began.

At 7:30, eight experimental graphite X-balls were the first to be pushed into the sky by the laser, and under the action of the electromagnetic pulse, they flew into outer space very easily, and they did not know what to do.

At 7:40, the second batch of eight graphite X-balls was injected into the vacuum tunnel and connected to permanent magnets.

At 7:50, the permanent magnet in the vacuum tunnel was successfully docked with the permanent magnet connected to the peacekeeping bomber.

At the same time, two hunting dogs in spacesuits appeared in the cockpit of the peacekeeping bomber.

Xiao Bu was stunned for a moment, "Xu, how can animals be used for such an important project?" ”

"You North America was the first to go to space, and it wasn't a human, including the woolly bear who was the first to go into space, and it was also not a human."

“……”

"And, this is a trial run, as long as the hound resists the overload, after three hours, if it is verified, we will start the construction of the space station, and then we will send a large number of engineers to it."

"So fast?"

"The pace of human beings entering space has been delayed for thousands of years, and this speed is already very slow."

Talking.

The improved peacekeeping bomber, that is, the aircraft with two V6 rockets strapped to it, was successfully ignited and started in the countdown.

The next moment, a strong tail flame enveloped the top of the main peak, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

Xu Fei looked through the monitor and even saw the major aerospace delegations in X City, collectively standing up and saluting.

When the 'Peacekeeping Space Shuttle' was about to enter an altitude of 20,000 meters, eight topological insulator tracks attached to the graphite X main beam burst into dazzling light.

The already fast peacekeeping space shuttle was like being hit with a giant hammer on the buttocks, exposing a thunderous sound and disappearing into the clouds in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, the outdoor screens in X City, including Channel 18, NSA, Debei Radio, Ingrich Media, etc., collectively broadcast the greatest moments of all mankind in real time.

In the screen, the peacekeeping bomber dragged the smoke and successively broke through 25,000 meters, 30,000 meters, 36,000 meters, and 40,000 meters......

The iron aerospace industry has also disclosed the parameters of the space elevator to the major media.

This includes tilt angle, wind resistance, humidity, traction, and more.

Overall, the timing and place were right, and everything went very smoothly.

This has made many investors extremely reassured.

Soon.

The Peacekeeping Space Shuttle reached the 50,000-meter node, self-extinguished the V6 rocket, and abandoned the rocket shell on the node platform, causing it to slide back to the main peak automatically.

Immediately after that, the topological insulator, which conducts electricity internally and insulates externally, activates the electromagnetic pulse device with the help of conductive properties.

At this time, the speed of the peacekeeping bomber passing through the 50,000-meter node was close to the first speed in the universe and turned into a fireball.

This is a phenomenon that has never appeared before in the history of human space launches.

In other words, if the spacecraft returns too fast, it will cause combustion, but when the spacecraft is launched, the maximum speed is only four or five kilometers per second, which is far from the point of frictional combustion.

Just when people were worried about the overload problem, the news footage broadcast by the major media flashed and switched to the interior of the space shuttle.

I saw two dogs in spacesuits, holding a cup of jasmine tea respectively, through a straw and through the helmet, drinking very energetically.

"That's outrageous!"

Before people could react, the space shuttle, which had reached the first cosmic speed, had already come to outer space.

Well, that's how fast it is.

Because the 'low orbit' set by the iron space industry is 1,000 kilometers, and the first speed of the universe is 7.9 kilometers per second, it takes up to 126.5 seconds to reach the end of the space elevator.

That's a little over two minutes.

Of course, if you want to go to the moon, you will need a space station, and a 'daily window' based on the space station.

When the peacekeeping bomber slowly docked at the end of the space elevator through its thrust reverser, Xu Fei picked up the jasmine tea and motioned to Xiaobu, "Cheers!" ”

The latter knew that Debei had succeeded, and said sourly: "Xu, you received the money." ”

Of course, Xu Fei understood what he meant.

At the beginning, in order to delay the Debei space program, Raymond sent four magnetic cards.

"Don't worry, I've always followed the rules, and when I run for a few days, I'll find a reason to Boom it when I turn around."
