With the start of the shuttle boat engine, several display panels in front of Wu Weichen also started, and the scene in front of Wu Weichen was projected in front of the shuttle boat. Although Wu Weichen sat in the safest position, his perspective had shifted to the front of the shuttle boat, and he could clearly see the obstacles around him and some of the conditions of the shuttle boat itself.

These panels are not glass, of course, but they can turn themselves into glass. When the shuttle boat really started, Wu Weichen sat in the driver's seat, maybe it felt like driving a hovering car.

Anyway, it's all hands on the direction of the ball, and you only need to control the general direction. As for other issues, such as flight attitude or something, whether it will crash or not, etc., they have all been handed over to the intelligent program to deal with, and the driver himself does not need to worry about it.

Artificial intelligence has come to dominate human life, and that's no joke. If artificial intelligence is paralyzed one day, the human world will definitely collapse in an instant. Intelligent programs have emasculated most of the survival capacity of human beings, and if they suddenly did not have the help of intelligent programs, perhaps humans would not even be able to make their own kettle boiling water...... Not to mention, it really can't be done, at least Chu Yuesheng himself can't do it. Because the water is boiled using a CNC ceramic teapot, the induction cooker below is also controlled by an intelligent program. If there is no intelligent program, there is no way to turn on the induction cooker, and if you simply use fire, high-temperature resistant ceramics understand?

Fortunately, artificial intelligence has always been the most trusted friend of human beings, and the original artificial intelligence "Chu Ru" has also been conscientiously maintaining the stability of human society for three hundred years. Since there has been no problem for so many years, then there probably will be no problem. After all, if something went wrong, it should have happened a long time ago, and it wouldn't have erupted until now, hundreds of years later.

With the assistance of the intelligent program, Wu Weichen manipulated the direction ball, and under the guidance of intelligent navigation, it rose smoothly into the air and flew towards the direction of the space elevator.

As the altitude continued to rise, the scenery below became smaller and smaller, and even white clouds had begun to appear, which showed that Chu Yuesheng and the others were already more than a thousand meters above the ground at this time.

This height has far exceeded the feasible height of the hovering vehicle. Except for the monster hovercar with a power as strong as a ghost in Miyazimeng, there is absolutely no hovercar that can be used without external forces (yes, it's you, the space elevator. In the case of assistance, open down to this height. To be able to fly to such a high altitude with its own power, in addition to those aircraft and space that are specially used for flying in the atmosphere, there is only a shuttle boat responsible for the return of heaven and earth.

Canterlot's space elevator is definitely the busiest of the three on Mars, and it doesn't really notice much when it's on the ground, because the stop is still quiet. But when the altitude increases, the number of aircraft that have just left the electromagnetic influence of the space elevator or are about to enter the space elevator to be captured by the electromagnetic field will increase like stars in the sky. The dazzling array of flying machines has made the sky above Canterlot extremely crowded, but the scene is full of life.

After all, there is an intelligent program to check it, and the crash will not crash, although it looks chaotic, but the intelligent program controls the order in the chaos, but it makes the chaos seem very natural, it looks like the grass that emerges from the grass in the spring grass, revealing a high-spirited vitality.

Behind the vast number of flying machines, farther away, a thick silver-white pillar surrounded by countless metal rings towered proudly between heaven and earth. One end is buried under the clouds, and the other end extends above the sky, so that even the poor eye can't see where the top of it is, which is incomparably spectacular.

This pillar is the ultimate product of human beings changing nature, the space elevator.

The original space elevator, which is indeed the function of the elevator, uses a sturdy carbon fiber material to tie the spaceport to near-Earth space like a weight on a rope, keeping the spaceport relatively stationary with the planet below. But later, some people felt that if it was just an elevator, the capacity was too small. No matter how thick the trunk of this elevator is, it can accommodate multiple elevator cars to and from heaven and earth at the same time, its capacity is still limited after all.

It was at this time that mankind made great progress in the study of electromagnetism. The technical maturity of the suspension car is a matter of that period, with the large-scale promotion of the suspension vehicle, the wheeled car with strict requirements for the terrain has officially withdrawn from the stage of history. The progress of electromagnetism has not only made hovercars enter thousands of households, but also found a new possibility for space elevators - that is, electromagnetic handling technology.

It is also simple to say that a wire becomes a strong source of magnetic field, so that a stable, continuous, and controllable toroidal magnetic field is generated around the wire. If there is a magnetic field, as long as there is an electric current, then electricity can be generated.

It's simple to say, in fact, it is the principle of the motor, but the motor rotates axially in situ, and the electromagnetic handling technology produces a continuous upward or downward force. I won't say how it was achieved, because the author didn't know how to make it up, but anyway, after the space elevator became a stable magnetic field generator, the transportation capacity increased by hundreds or thousands of times all of a sudden. With this truly technologically mature space elevator, humanity has finally expanded the spaceport overhead from a closed space station to a bustling city suspended in space. With this city as a starting point, humanity began a journey towards the endless sea of stars.

The essence of a space elevator, which looks like a giant cylinder, is an innumerable ultra-low resistance synthetic wire that is tens of thousands of kilometers long, although very thin. These wires have a powerful electric current flowing through them, and they are the energy source for the space elevator to stabilize the magnetic field.

And those thick ring-shaped objects that surround the space elevator are the devices that generate magnetic fields. They induce a magnetic field when they sense an electric current flowing through them. All rings have the same structure and naturally produce the same magnetic field. Together, these magnetic fields form the space around the space elevator.

Just as the road has to be divided into left and right sides, and one-way traffic, the space elevator has the same restrictions. The space elevator has an ascending passage on one side and a descending passage on the other, and the two sides are distinct and no one disturbs each other. In addition to the different directions of up and down traffic, the space elevator is also divided into a manned passage and a freight passage. Manned spacecraft tend to be small and do not have very powerful engines. Since it is not possible to generate a strong constant current, it can only catch a stronger magnetic field to generate enough thrust. Anyway, the magnitude of the traction force is directly proportional to the current and the strength of the magnetic field, and one is weaker than the other. And cargo spacecraft (in general, refers to cargo shuttles. The situation is completely reversed, the huge size of the cargo shuttle boat makes it enough to install powerful engines, and even if one is not enough, you can install a few more, and on the premise of considering the cost, you can install a few if you want. With the power of the engine, the cargo shuttle can obtain sufficient traction force even in areas with low magnetic field strength to maintain a stable ascent speed. Coupled with the huge size of the cargo shuttle and the number of manned spacecraft, it is natural that the cargo passage of the space elevator is arranged on the outer side of the space elevator farther away than the manned passage.

The space elevator is not just a strong magnetic field, its interior is hollow, and a large amount of concentrated air flows. The air is ejected from the evenly arranged air holes on the space elevator, and forcibly maintains a standard atmosphere in the thin air and even in the vacuum, so that the passengers of the manned spacecraft will not die violently because they cannot breathe oxygen or are exposed to the vacuum. Of course, the standard atmospheric pressure is at best to cover the manned passage, and farther away, the vacuum environment of space will quickly dilute the air, making it disappear all at once.

Another difference between manned spacecraft and cargo shuttles is getting there at the end point. When both spacecraft leave the atmosphere and arrive near the spaceport in the space elevator, the manned spacecraft will directly enter the constant biosphere of the spaceport from the standard atmospheric pressure environment near the main body of the space elevator, and will not have to face dangerous space radiation and vacuum environment from the beginning to the end. After all, like continuous air jetting, the constant biosphere is also a very expensive project, and it is natural to reduce the effective action volume as much as possible, and cost saving is the king. Anyway, the cargo shuttle itself has a small life support system, which ensures that the driver and crew can jump alive until the shuttle itself runs out of energy, even if they enter the universe. In that case, it's okay to go around a long distance in space.

Yes, the dock of the cargo shuttle is on the other side of the spaceport, but it is relatively close to the real spaceport. After all, there are many goods that are loaded directly in the spaceport and sent to other planets, and it is completely unnecessary to walk around the city of the spaceport, just fly directly from space around the perimeter of the spaceport. This is the same as those logistics distribution centers are basically built in the suburbs around the city is a reason, the cost of transportation in the city and outside the city is completely not good, in order to pursue the maximization of interests, it is also acceptable to aggrieved the freight shuttle boat pilots to carry more space debris and cosmic radiation in dangerous space.

Anyway, the people who made these rules don't drive freight shuttles themselves, so they made such a decision with their heads tapped.

Those who set the industry standard for electric vehicles, will they themselves go to and from work by electric vehicles?
