Chapter 292: Space Elevator Cable Test
After Honglian made the game helmet, Tang Rui played the game in the laboratory for more than two hours.
How to say it.
A game played on a console and put in a virtual reality world is pure.
The final level of the ace air battle.
There is a long tunnel to go through.
In the real world, all three gates will be closed for you, and you will fly a hammer and wait for death.
But in the game, it can be set up like this.
But the virtual reality world is so uncomfortable.
"Red Lotus, delete the game and redesign a game that is close to reality and simulates actual combat."
"Okay, master, Red Lotus knows."
Put down the gaming headset.
Tang Rui called Lin Chao and told him about Tang Yue.
He didn't even have to say anything specific.
The Air Force will definitely arrange it.
In the blink of an eye.
The college entrance examination is over.
Tang Rui accompanied his two younger sisters to take the college entrance examination, and then took them to play for two days before going back to do business.
"Red Lotus, have the cables of the space elevator been built?"
"Master, one has been built so far."
"Send a message to Mogadishu and tell them I'm going to go over and test the cable and get them ready."
"Yes, master."
After Tang Rui finished speaking, he put on an anti-load suit and boarded the mecha.
Although he doesn't have much to do when he goes abroad now, he still likes to be steady.
So, he's going to drive the mecha over.
When Tang Rui entered the mecha, the dome of the newly built production workshop opened, and a unique flatbed aircraft slowly took off from the production workshop.
This flatbed aircraft looks like a sand carrier on a river, flat below and flat above, and looks like a thinner brick.
Tang Rui controlled the mecha to take off and stood on the flatbed aircraft.
"Red Lotus, let's go."
"Yes, master."
Despite Tang Rui's order, the eight high-power electric propulsion engines behind the aircraft started.
"How can I feel like Edgeworth is flying, it's just that this sword is a little ugly." At this time, he realized that the shape was a little wrong.
But compared to flying directly over the mech.
He still chose to go with the flying machine, at least without effort.
The other side.
As soon as Mogadishu received the news, it began to carry out a final inspection of the base of the space elevator.
The entire base was dug 1,500 meters just for the foundation.
3,600 super-strong alloy steel columns were buried as fixing frames.
Special cement is then poured and finally covered with a massive steel base.
The entire project was done by CSCEC.
But the equipment and steel are all provided by Tang Rui.
"Academician Tang, welcome to your visit and guidance."
"You're welcome, how's the base doing now?" After Tang Rui arrived, he looked at the huge construction site around him and asked.
"At present, the base of the space elevator has been completed by 65 percent, and the base of the freight elevator has been completed."
"Okay, let's test the cable first."
After Tang Rui finished speaking, he let the Red Lotus control the aircraft to land.
After landing.
The engine at the rear of the aircraft automatically disengages, revealing the internal cable connectors and connectors.
The connection of the cable is not just a rope tied to the base.
In order to match the super tensile capacity that occurs when the space elevator is used, there is also the deflection angle of the outer space airport.
The cable at the base should retain a redundant amount of one kilometer.
Once the stretched data reaches the red line, the cable at the base is released outward.
If the cable starts to wobble, then the base needs to be retracted.
To put it simply.
You can think of this device at the base as flying a kite, but this is a space station.
The installation of the cables is very fast.
At the time of design, the interfaces and equipment that had been predicted for a long time were also installed, and Tang Rui installed the joints here, and it was over.
Next, the engine part of the aircraft is assembled again.
Then the entire vehicle changed from horizontal to vertical and began to fly into outer space.
At the tail of the aircraft, a cable is attached.
Tang Rui grabbed the cable and flew towards outer space with the aircraft, which was equivalent to a burden.
Ten minutes later.
The vehicle came to geostationary orbit, which is 36,000 kilometers.
Once here, the vehicle is stably parked in orbit and follows the Earth's synchronous orbit.
Tang Rui controlled the mecha, grabbed the other end of the cable, and continued to fly towards the high orbit.
When the rope was straightened, he stopped.
"Red Lotus, what is the current data?" Tang Rui grabbed the cable and asked about the data of the red lotus.
"Master, the current tensile strength of the cable is 72 GPa, and the real-time fluctuation value is 3-11 GPa."
"What is the difference in the stability data of the middle layer?"
“0.17-0.21。”
"The next step is to test and record the data."
"Yes, master."
After Tang Rui finished speaking, he controlled the mecha's arm and began to shake the cable.
Shake the cable from more than 50,000 kilometers of outer sky.
When the energy transfer reaches the surface, it will multiply geometrically, and if it can't be carried below, it will be over.
Tang Rui looked at the real-time data in front of him.
As he shook the cable, the green part of the rope began to turn yellow, and occasionally red.
Red represents the cordon.
Once the numerical fluctuation exceeds the warning line, it means that the bearing capacity of the cable has reached the limit.
However, under normal circumstances, no one will throw a rope in space to play, this is just a test of the limit.
Buzz Buzz......
When the energy was transferred to the base below, there was a high-frequency tremor throughout the base.
But after shaking for a while, it returned to normal.
"Red Lotus, what is the most dangerous value just now?" Tang Rui asked.
Although he kept staring at the screen, the data changed so fast that he couldn't see it at all.
"Master, the most satellite value just now is 288GPa, which is only 12GPa away from the cordon."
Tang Rui nodded after listening, and then proceeded to the next test.
He started the mech's engine, grabbed the cable, and pulled it as hard as he could, as if he were going to uproot it.
But this time, no matter how hard he tried.
The cable just doesn't move.
Not even among the values displayed on the screen are yellow.
Very good.
This way, there is no need to worry about the counterweight satellite platform.
Compared to the previous jitter, this stretching problem is not a problem at all.
"Red Lotus, launch the makeshift scales."
"Yes, master."
The vehicle in a 36,000-kilometer orbit launched a flat, solid ball, which was used as a temporary weighing stone to replace the satellite platform.
The cables have been launched, and it is impossible to put them down.
The mech catches the impromptu scale that comes up and attaches the cable to the improvised scale.
Do it all.
Tang Rui stepped on the aircraft and returned to Earth.
"Hurry up and build it, all the cables will be completed in six months, and then the base side must be foolproof."
"Academician Tang, don't worry, our side guarantees to complete the task." The person in charge of China Construction opened his mouth to reassure.
"Okay, thank you guys."
After Tang Rui finished speaking, he stepped on the aircraft and returned to China.
Soon.
The news of the completion of the space elevator cable test spread all over the world.
Cables are the biggest problem for space elevators.
Now the cable is solved.
Then the space elevator is no longer a problem.
