Chapter 200: Space Elevator? Skyhook Transfer Program! Jiang Chen's genius conception!

At this time.

Inside the office of the Ying-chan defense department.

After thinking about the stakes.

"The arms trade market, this is too important for us."

"We have to do everything we can to regain market share"

"It's even about expanding the scope of sales and getting more profits."

It's just that.

It was as if a giant hammer was striking hard at the heart, completely destroying their minds.

Although the space elevator was ideally conceived and could provide a very inexpensive mode of transportation.

"General F35 and this kind, and no one wants to buy it, what else can be traded?"

Just for the one or two hundred tons of space station in low-earth orbit, the construction progress is so difficult.

"What will Huaxia Aerospace accomplish in ten years? I can't even think about it now! ”

"If only a manned landing on the moon . I don't think there's much of a problem with completing it in three years.."

How much space power did it take to complete the entire China, and how many people's efforts were poured into it to finally complete?

And to establish a complete scientific research base on the moon, this difficulty can be imagined?

"Hey, is this really possible??"

However, it can be said that it is the best solution for transporting materials between the ground and the moon.

Naturally, this solution cannot be perfect, and it has its flaws.

It can be said that it is not only the entire military-industrial complex that depends on this huge market.

"This program. Isn't that amazing? ”

Everyone gasped, their eyes full of shock and surprise.

Perhaps from a layman's point of view, there is not much difference between a manned landing on the moon and the creation of a forward base on the moon.

"Chief Engineer Jiang, how do you make its materials??"

"It's called the Skyhook Transmission Project!" Jiang Chen nodded and said with a mysterious expression.

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, everyone present frowned suddenly.

Huaxia is not a country such as Ah San and Kimchi, so it is naturally impossible to report fake news casually.

"This hooks objects from outer space directly to the surface of the moon??"

Meanwhile.

How much does it cost to transport a kilogram of objects from the ground to the moon?

In the traditional mode of space transportation, it takes tens of thousands of dollars to transport almost one kilogram of materials to low earth orbit.

Looking at Chief Engineer Jiang sitting on the main seat, even Lu Yuanhang on the side couldn't help but complain.

It's not that easy to do.

"But. . . What should we sell? ”

This meeting was conducted by Jiang Chen, the head of the research institute.

Before anyone else could react.

Jiang Chen nodded decisively, his words full of firmness.

"If you don't have full confidence, the Ministry of Defense won't make an official announcement to the outside world!"

Jiang Chen nodded, he naturally had already prepared a plan.

The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth rose slightly, and he said directly:

"There is a solution to this, and its cost will be even lower!"

Even the Flying Fortress project is also news that can shock the whole world!

Not to mention the almost impossible task of building a forward base on the moon!

"It can't be true, can it?? This. How is that possible? ”

For a while, there was a blank look in everyone's eyes.

"And. This day hook is too demanding for accuracy, right?? ”

If you say that you will build a lunar advance base within three years, then you will definitely complete the task on schedule!

For this biggest problem of aerospace, he naturally also took it into consideration.

Previously, they could earn hundreds of billions of dollars a year from the arms market.

"Not to mention building a scientific research base, how much does it cost to live with living materials?"

"If we can find a low-cost way to transport space"

She couldn't believe what she heard, it was outrageous!

Huaxia announced these R&D plans. Each one is like a bombshell.

In their eyes full of doubts, Jiang Chen directly turned on the projector.

IT DOES NOT REQUIRE A SPACE ROCKET TO CARRY THOUSANDS OF TONS OF CHEMICAL FUEL, LET ALONE TRAVEL AT A SPEED OF 7.9 KM/S.

Most people are still confused and have no clue at all.

If he dares to take it out for foreign arms trade, he will be able to prepare his resignation report the next day.

"The kind of rope you need to get the material you need. It only exists in science fiction."

Even Yang Mi and Liu Sisi on the side nodded, and tens of millions of viewers, including the live broadcast room, agreed with this statement.

It's not just him.

"Unless it is done at any cost."

"That kind of transportation cost is really low, but," an academician next to him asked with a puzzled face.

Then this problem will be solved.

Reba on the side blinked his eyes and asked with curiosity on his face:

"And even if you really spend such a huge amount of money, there are not so many space rockets?"

No human beings have ever landed on the moon again in half a century, let alone building a base on the moon this time!

The whole barrage cracked like a landslide, and exploded over the entire screen!

It's just that most of the people who came here to attend the conference were experts and scholars in the field of aerospace.

Unless they can have a cheap mode of transportation, the cost of 200,000 US dollars a kilogram will be reduced by more than 10 times.

They originally thought that the manned moon landing program was exaggerated enough!

Unexpectedly, Huaxia actually wanted to build a base directly on the moon this time??

"This is naturally true"

and some R&D academicians in materials engineering, etc.

Before Jiang Chen could answer, this doubt was directly denied by Lu Yuanhang.

"That's a big problem for us!" An academician in the aerospace field next to him also pondered.

With this new mode of transportation, the cost of transporting materials between the Earth and the Moon will become extremely cheap.

If the space elevator is used, then the transmission method is naturally very cheap.

"Skyhook Transmission Project?" Lu Yuanhang and the others were a little confused as they recited the name.

"Space elevator?? It's simply not possible! ”

Thinking of this, the supreme commander of the Ministry of Defense suddenly felt a headache.

Suddenly.

Compared with the Gundam, electromagnetic weapons, etc., which are sold by Huaxia to the outside world, this is simply a dimensionality reduction strike.

"Chief Engineer Jiang, you won't say a space elevator, right??"

"I naturally know that. Will not choose the traditional way of astronautics! ”

The eyes of everyone present suddenly widened, and they looked at the plan displayed on the screen as if they were stunned.

When an object on the surface approaches it, it will be hooked directly and then launched to the designated location by gravity.

That's outrageous, isn't it!!

That same evening.

It's just that judging from the current R&D progress, it is too far away from this goal.

"Damn??? This is not a manned landing on the moon . Rather, to build a base for the advance of the moon? ”

This solution can be understood as a low-profile version of the space elevator, which can also solve the transmission problem.

"Indeed. What Academician Lu said makes sense! ”

The resources it needs to use, the manpower and material resources it consumes, are completely astronomical!

With this money, it is better to build ten more nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and the role played will definitely be even greater!

However.

A demo is slowly displayed on the screen.

If it really can't maintain equilibrium, you can also let it use fuel to accelerate itself.

It's a genius plan!

The Skyhook Transmission Program is only capable of using extra-long hooks.

Even a novice like her, who does not understand the field of aerospace, is very aware of the difficulty of landing on the moon.

If he could, he would naturally like to realize the final solution of the space elevator.

On the other side, in Yang Mi's live broadcast room.

It is also to answer their doubts, after all, for the plan of the moon to build a forward base.

"I know you have all sorts of doubts, now you can ask!"

"Jiang Chen!"

I kept thinking in my mind, what is the low-cost space transportation method that Jiang Chen is talking about?

At this time.

Can a hook reduce the cost of space transmission? It's amazing.

If you build a base on the moon now, it won't cost hundreds of billions of dollars.

Listen to this.

"You can't just sell a Ford-class aircraft carrier or a B-2 bomber, right?"

Staring at everyone present.

Pause.

Even if they use F22 and F35 fighter jets for military trade, they may not be able to sell them

And the good things they really pressed at the bottom of the box, such as B-2 bombers, ultra-high-altitude reconnaissance planes, and so on.

"There are no problems with building a small city on the moon."

Lu Yuanhang frowned and raised the first doubt.

It is extremely difficult to even pull the elevator directly into the air of tens of thousands of kilometers!

However.

"Not to mention the need to build an forward base on the moon, how did you do that?"

I only saw that on the demonstration diagram, a very long object was orbiting around outer space, making a tumbling motion.

In order to maintain this acceleration, the requirements for the end rope during transportation are extremely demanding.

Because it orbits the planet, it uses only gravity.

The top defense minister said categorically, his words full of horror and fear.

Yang Mi's eyes widened and said with incredulity.

Hear this.

Hear this.

"Even without using a conventional space rocket, you can transport a lot of cargo."

Not to mention building a forward base, even building a miniature city is not a problem.

"Good guy, this announcement is more shocking than the other!"

"But this is to build a forward base?"

"In my opinion, it is simply impossible to do it in the space field of the world at present!"

"In three years, we are going to build a base on the moon? That's scary, isn't it? ”

But the reality is very skinny, because the rope that wants to carry this strength does not exist in reality at all.

Although such a device cannot be used for manned spaceflight, after all, this acceleration is unbearable for the human body.

"This Nantianmen plan is simply outrageous, isn't it??"

"But... It's really feasible, and the shipping costs are just as low! ”

Even if a basic ecosystem is established on the surface of the moon, there is no guarantee that it will be able to meet the demand.

"Although its material requirements are much lower than those of the space elevator, this kind of sky hook material is also not available!"

From the most realistic point of view, it's not that how much it will cost to get a manned landing on the moon?

Rather, it would be very expensive to live on the moon for a long time, because it would require the continuous consumption of huge quantities of supplies.

"The lunar advance base will be completed in three years, so won't we have to land on Mars in five years?"

His voice had just fallen.

Everyone in the room nodded their heads, agreeing the same way.

Even the power loss can be solved, and it can maintain a certain amount of potential energy as long as it is properly rounded up.

Looking at the press conference that had ended in front of me, tens of millions of spectators were stunned.

"It's not a grand goal like a space elevator, though!!"

"Chief Engineer Jiang, then I'll ask directly!"

In particular, an official department such as the Ministry of National Defense will do its best to fulfill what is said no matter how difficult it is.

A cheaper way to transmit space?? Build a city directly on the moon?

And it's not that hard to implement!

Merely.

"Even the power source required is very difficult to do at the moment!"

You'll have to jump straight into the car without making mistakes, which is a very difficult thing to do!

"But it's pretty much the same, I'm going to use a hook for the transfer!"

An Apollo program in the sixties and seventies cost $25 billion.

In terms of the water and nutrients required by the human body, at least a few kilograms of materials are needed every day, which is millions of dollars a day

Not to mention the construction of any base, it is a behemoth of hundreds or thousands of tons at every turn!

After all, this is a high-velocity object that is constantly tumbling in outer space, and a space shuttle wants to make a free ride.

"After all, this is a hook of tens or hundreds of kilometers, how to ensure safety at this acceleration?"

"But Brother Chen. Isn't it hard to go to the moon to do? ”

The entire Blue Star was able to achieve a manned landing on the moon fifty years ago!

After all, both are going to land directly on the surface of the moon!

But this is actually a world of difference, and it is even more than a hundred times more difficult!

You know, how much supplies does a person need to eat, drink, and lazar every day on the moon?

The main purpose of this meeting is to announce the next research and development plans.

Even the most basic oxygen needs to be transported from the surface of the Blue Star!

"With such a fast acceleration and tumbling speed, how can you achieve an accurate docking."

A meeting is also being held simultaneously in the Institute of Frontier Science and Technology.

Jiang Chen took a sip of tea and said with a slight smile.

The words just fell!

And to transport it to the surface of the moon, it takes more than 200,000 US dollars a kilogram.

If something goes wrong with this core money engine, it will be a devastating blow.

"Doesn't that cost a lot of money?"

All you need to do is take a slow elevator ride from the surface and land hundreds of kilometers all the way to outer space.

"None of you are outsiders."

"Then if you build a lunar base, there will be no problem at all!"

Even many projects, including research and development funds on land, sea and air, rely on the profits of the arms trade.

It's like a train moving at full speed, even if its doors are open.

To know.

THIS IS A ROPE THAT IS OFTEN TENS OF KILOMETERS LONG, TUMBLING AT A SPEED OF 7.9 KM/S PER SECOND.

Hear here.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel a chill rushing up to the heavenly spirit cover.

Including Yang Mi who was sitting on the sofa, the expressions on their faces were still dumbfounded.

"These are the problems you are talking about."

"It's not difficult to solve it either, I have a solution!" Jiang Chen stared at everyone, showing a confident smile!
