Chapter 180: The original intention, the preliminary plan for the construction of the space elevator

After Guo Ziming introduced the transportation plan of the Tamu Gobi, he then explained the layout of the industrial industry in the Tamu Gobi.

It mainly includes two main categories: raw material industry and processing industry, but the extractive industry is also involved.

"At this stage, we mainly focus on electric vehicles, and the first thing to realize is the industrial layout of the whole industrial chain of electric vehicles, and then expand to all industrial categories after completion, we ......" Guo Ziming looked at the big screen and explained.

From the picture on the large screen, you can see the layout plan of its various industries.

However, many places are very general, but some places are very definite, such as the lithium-sulfur battery automation factory, the electric vehicle automation assembly plant, the Super Hadron Collider complex program and the space portal program reserved land.

"Here I want to say that the infrastructure of the lithium-sulfur battery automation factory and the electric vehicle automation assembly plant has been completed, and now the installation of related equipment is in full swing, and I estimate that it will not be long before we can produce lithium-sulfur batteries and electric vehicles." Guo Ziming said with a smile.

As the dean of the School of Architecture, these months can be described as both joyful and painful.

The happy thing is that their School of Architecture is leading the development and construction of the Taboo Gobi, and the teachers and students of the college can participate in it, and he leads these teachers and students.

Needless to say, its importance.

The painful thing is that during these months, he, as well as other teachers and students in the academy, have to constantly learn knowledge outside the building.

For example, understand various industries, learn basic knowledge related to engineering, and plan the relevant strategies of Tamu Gobi.

If we do not understand this, how to do a good job in the development and construction of the Tamu Gobi, and how to ensure the long-term longevity of the Tamu Gobi.

As President Xu Zhengping said, Tamu Gobi is facing the space age of mankind.

Hearing that lithium-sulfur batteries and electric vehicles will soon be produced, the large classroom burst into applause.

"Well, let's not get the point wrong." "The purpose of our automated lithium-sulfur battery factory and electric vehicle automated assembly plant is not to produce lithium-sulfur batteries and electric vehicles, but to research and optimize related technologies to improve productivity...... We must not forget our original purpose. ”

While everyone nodded in unison, the applause became more intense.

As we all know, the original intention of building a gigafactory is to develop and optimize technology and train relevant talents.

Rather than simply producing industrial goods.

"Everybody look at the center of the big screen." Guo Ziming pointed to the big screen and said, "The area within a radius of 50 kilometers in the center of the Tamu Gobi will be allocated to the Jiutian Research Center, and according to the plan of the Jiutian Research Center, a Super Hadron Collider complex will be built underground in this area, and a space base will be built on the ground, or a space gateway ......."

……

The time came to nine o'clock in the evening, Guo Ziming's brief introduction ended, and everyone had a preliminary understanding of the development and construction of the Tamu Gobi.

Subsequently, more than 300 people who came to visit the development and construction of the Tamu Gobi began to choose the way to visit.

You can visit with a large group or a small group of several people.

Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming discussed it and decided not to follow the group.

A small group of eight people, including Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming, Zuo Dajun and five assistants, will be led by Zhou Dashi, a student of Guo Ziming, dean of the School of Architecture.

After deciding, the nine people discussed the itinerary of the visit for the next three days.

After the discussion was made, the people dispersed.

Su Zhe, Xu Zhengping and others went to their temporary residence in a patrol car.

In the patrol car, Xu Zhengping looked at Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming and asked with a smile: "I heard that you have already set up a project for the Super Hadron Collider complex project, are you ready to start construction?" ”

"Yes!"

Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming nodded in unison.

"It's not just the Super Hadron Collider complex program, but also the Space Gateway program." Fan Xiaoming said affirmatively.

"You ...... Why don't you celebrate such a big event? Xu Zhengping said with a smile.

"Celebrate! There's no need for it. Fan Xiaoming said, "As long as the big boss Su Zhe agrees, we can set up the project, and it doesn't matter if you want to celebrate or not." ”

"Yes!" Xu Zhengping smiled and nodded, "You have money and talents, you really don't have to care about this, just do what you want to do." ”

"We are able to do this thanks to the support of the school." Su Zhe said gratefully.

"Supporting you is what the school should do." Xu Zhengping said with certainty, "But I am still a little worried about the problem of later funds, after all, the super factory needs a steady stream of capital investment, and the more than 200 billion yuan in the hands of the school is far from enough." ”

"Headmaster! Don't worry about that, we can trade technology for money. "For example, we can make money with the technology and solutions we have developed in the construction of automated factories for lithium-sulfur batteries and automated assembly plants for electric vehicles." ”

"This ......," Xu Zhengping said after thinking for a while, "I am worried that the relevant companies will resist us and not accept the advanced technology and solutions we provide, after all, it will take away a lot of their profits." ”

"Don't accept it!" Fan Xiaoming said fiercely, "If you really don't accept it, then we will do it ourselves, and they will also go out of business when the time comes." ”

"Smart people don't choose that, just like the lithium-sulfur battery technology license." Su Zhe said with a smile, "But what is certain is that if the super factory is really realized, coupled with the construction of the light pillar project, the economic structure of the society will definitely change." ”

"Almost endless energy, fully automated gigafactory...... The economic structure of society will change for sure, but there is nothing to worry about. Fan Xiaoming smiled.

"I'm not worried, I'm thinking that day will come sooner rather than later." Su Zhe smiled, "At that time, people don't have to run around for materials, just take us scientific research workers, we can achieve scientific research freedom, and no longer have to worry about scientific research funding and delay scientific research projects, at that time, science and technology will definitely usher in explosive development." ”

"It's hard to say!" Fan Xiaoming shook his head, "Once people meet their material requirements, they will lose motivation, and I think many people will lie flat at that time." ”

"Yes! It's possible, but ......," Su Zhe explained.

“……”

Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming discussed what would happen to human beings after satisfying their material needs.

As they talked, the two always had different opinions.

Xu Zhengping saw that neither of them could convince anyone, so he hurriedly said: "There is no point in saying this now, after all, we are all judging by our existing perceptions, and there is no need to worry about future human beings, we should achieve this goal first." ”

"That's right! There are so many possibilities that it didn't happen. Fan Xiaoming smiled, "As long as the light pillar project and the super factory are realized, the problems of energy and manufacturing will be solved, and the material needs of all mankind will be satisfied." ”

"Yes! Almost! Xu Zhengping nodded.

Fan Xiaoming smiled, looked at Su Zhe and asked, "Can this process be completed in fifty years?" I'm only in my twenties, will I ever be able to see this in my lifetime? ”

Hearing Fan Xiaoming's question, several people sitting in the patrol car looked at Su Zhe one after another.

Su Zhe saw everyone looking at him, he thought for a while and said, "Actually! Gigafactories are not the point, as long as we have almost unlimited energy, we can meet all the material needs of human beings. ”

Fan Xiaoming and the others thought about it and nodded one after another.

"We only need to complete part of the construction of the light pillar project." Su Zhe smiled, "Therefore, it will not take fifty years to meet the material needs of all mankind, if it goes well, it can be completed in ten or twenty years, and if you are lucky, it can be completed in a few years." ”

"This ...... It's true! Xu Zhengping said with some excitement.

"Really!" Su Zhe explained, "The relevant technology is gradually maturing, and I estimate that as long as there is a breakthrough in the technology of space delivery, we will be able to usher in that day." ”

“……”

When Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming returned to their temporary residence, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

After a brief wash, the two sat at the table and looked at their laptops.

Fan Xiaoming is looking at plans related to the Super Hadron Collider complex program and the Space Portal program.

For the Super Hadron Collider complex, it will be a collection of various types of accelerators.

Its main function is to collide with various particles and provide a high-power light source in almost the entire wavelength band.

The space portal is easy to understand, that is, the port to space.

It is certain that there will be no chemical rockets, and the way to get to space is being studied.

For now, the research team has provided two options.

One is the successful development of the equal-weight photon aerospace engine, and the space portal is like an airport.

The second is the space elevator.

In both options, many people support space elevators.

And the scientific research team put forward a preliminary plan, in this preliminary plan, those technologies have matured, those technologies need to be broken through, etc., are listed in the plan, and a detailed analysis has been made.

The concept of its space elevator has been made.

Fan Xiaoming sighed while watching!

That's the power of teamwork.

No matter what you ask, the team will provide you with one solution or another.

Although the vast majority of these solutions are not very reliable.

While Fan Xiaoming was reading this, Su Zhe was reading the latest data sent to him by the National Astronomical Observatory about two asteroids that were about to collide.

Su Zhe was calculating in his mind while looking at the data.

After reading these data, it is 100% certain that the collision of these two asteroids is inevitable without the interference of external forces.

The time and location were the same as previously predicted by the director of the National Astronomical Observatory.

This year's Chinese New Year's Eve night, February 9, between nine and ten o'clock in the evening.

It's still a little over half a month away.

The location is three million kilometers from the earth.

Having determined this, he moved on to other data from the National Astronomical Observatory.

Two of the data were tracked by the National Astronomical Observatory (NAA) and the European Space Agency (ESA) to change the orbits of colliding asteroids during two launches.

Judging from the relevant data tracked, both operations failed, after all, the two asteroids are relatively far away from Earth at this stage.

However, he is not too worried about the collision of the two asteroids now, because he knows that before the two asteroids collide, the Xuanwu project is almost complete.

Thinking of this, he landed in the SS-Defense System Control Center.

A 3D globe appeared on the laptop, and he looked at it.

Of the 3,000 SS-Defense Subsystem bases, 800 have been built and connected.

At this rate, there will be no problem at all in completing the deployment before February 9.

Thirty-six more space probes were then examined.

After a day, eight of the twelve probes have been deployed to the set orbit.

In two more days, the remaining four sets of probes will be deployed.

At that time, the SS-Defense system will be able to cover 300,000 kilometers of space around the Earth.

After thinking about it, Su Zhe operated the mouse and found the space solar power station in synchronous orbit.

Soon, the laptop screen showed a real-time view of a solar power plant in space.

At this moment, the power panels of the space solar power station are facing the sun, and the red beam emitted from the transmitter of the dual-light source energy transfer technology is connected to the surface.

As you drag the mouse, the screen zooms out.

The red beam of light is so conspicuous in the dark night.

In the picture, the space solar power plant becomes a small dot with a very thin red line connecting the dot to a place in the northern hemisphere of the earth.

Suddenly, he thought of the space elevator.

Just as he felt that he had caught something, Fan Xiaoming sat next to him with his laptop.

"Su Zhe! What are you looking at? Fan Xiaoming said and looked at Su Zhe's laptop screen, "This ...... This is a space solar power plant of the Chasing Light Project! ”

"Yes!" Su Zhe smiled and nodded.

"Now I see, the dual-light source energy transmission technology is quite successful." Fan Xiaoming said excitedly, "Whether it's dead light used to intercept or to transmit energy. ”

"Yes! It was quite successful. Su Zhe said with a smile.

Fan Xiaoming smiled and said: "Now the space capacity is seriously limiting our development, otherwise we would be able to quickly deploy space solar power stations in synchronous orbit." ”

Su Zhe smiled and nodded, "Yes!" We urgently need space capacity now, and it's too inefficient to rely on those rockets. ”

Not to mention the poor capacity of chemical rockets, their safety is also a problem.

"That's right!" Fan Xiaoming affirmed, "Human beings do not have a strong space capacity, and if they want to enter the space age, it is a fool's dream." ”

Fan Xiaoming said and placed his laptop in front of Su Zhe and motioned for Su Zhe to look at it.

"Su Zhe! This is the idea of the space portal given by the scientific research team, and some people say that they are waiting for us to develop a heavy photon aerospace engine, and the vast majority of people support us to build a space elevator. Fan Xiaoming said with a smile.

"Although the theoretical basis of the heavy photon aerospace engine is there, there is still a long way to go to build a heavy photon aerospace engine." Su Zhe explained.

As he spoke, he took Fan Xiaoming's computer to him and began to carefully look at the preliminary plan for the construction of the space elevator.
