industrial maniac

The matchbox heavy-duty transport vehicle, which resembled a steel giant, galloped at the foot of the Himalayas against the frosty sky.

inside the car.

Xu Fei and Xiao Bu sat back in the space capsule-style seats, while tasting the jasmine tea newly invested by Leifei Technology, and enjoying the space elevator profile with the help of the car TV.

for a long time.

Xu Fei felt a little thirsty. He picked up the teacup and was about to take a sip when he suddenly thought of something. His hands paused slightly, and he saw Xiao Bu drinking wildly from the corner of his eyes.
"Actually, this project is far less complicated than imagined. Just like the foundation, according to the outside world, it should be compacted, or piled, or cast-in-place piles, etc., but the Himalayas are so huge that it is impossible to use conventional foundation methods, so we adopted A tunnel boring machine similar to a shield machine."

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

After starting up, under the function of remote control technology, it drills like a snake in the Himalayas, and then pulls the special graphite X material and carbon nanofiber material into the tunnel, each of which is criss-crossed until it wraps around the tunnel. Most of the mountain range 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 there was a foundation for the space elevator."

"Then there is the main body of the space elevator."

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

When Xu Fei said this, seeing Xiaobu finish a cup of jasmine tea, he quickly and politely refilled another cup, "Topological insulators are externally insulated and internally conductive. We used this material to build a light-energy rail gun and a light-energy orbital gun respectively." The car has been in operation for a year, and there have been no failures or accidents during the period, which shows that the technology is mature."

"By transplanting this technology, that is, the topological insulator tunnel, to the space elevator, we can not only achieve the laser to propel the graphite X-sphere up, but also add electromagnetic pulse technology to enhance the ascent speed."

"It stands to reason that at this point, we can place space vehicles in tunnels made of topological insulators, just like particles in a particle accelerator, or light-energy railcars shuttling through tunnels, and let graphite X balls pull objects rise rapidly in a vacuum."

"But a vacuum cannot solve the gravity problem, and the output of topological insulator materials is far from meeting the needs of a 1000-km-long 'space tunnel'. Only eight tubes with a diameter of 1 meter can be produced at most."

"So we adopted the power technology of 'flywheel electromagnetic', 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 tube wall of the topological insulator, we access the space vehicle from the outside by means of magnetic attraction."

"In order to further reduce gravity and air resistance, we use an improved peacekeeping bomber that can be lifted vertically as an elevator car."

"At that time, the head of the peacekeeping bomber will face up, the tail will face down, and eight topological insulator pipes attached to the graphite X will be connected around the body. First, it will fly autonomously, driving the graphite X ball to accelerate, and then the laser cannon will be activated, and the graphite X ball will turn around. Drive the peacekeeping bomber up, wait until the altitude of 2 meters, the electromagnetic pulse is activated, and the acceleration breaks through the first speed in the universe until it reaches the space station 1000km from the surface."

"Of course, today is just a trial run of the space elevator. We haven't sent the space station up yet. We need to wait for the trial run to be successful before proceeding with the project."

After Xu Fei finished speaking, he saw Xiaobu emptying his cup again and quickly picked up the kettle.

Xiao Bu burped and waved his hand, "I may have altitude sickness, but I'm not very thirsty."

"Altitude sickness? Then you should drink water, which is good for promoting metabolism and relieving symptoms. Believe me, I understand RNA technology."

"..."

After a while.

The Matchbox heavy transport truck arrives in City X.

After a year, the changes in City X, no matter its appearance or the level of prosperity, can be described as earth-shaking.

For example, the resident population has 850 million farmers who have migrated here from Kyrgyzstan, as well as retired cadres who have migrated here from many steel companies one after another.

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

For example, tourists, there are tens of thousands of people from all walks of life who come from West Asia, Southeast Asia, East Asia, Europe, North America and other places, or live in office, or live for a short time.

For example, the trade volume, its total steel imports in 02 was three times the world’s total steel production, about 3 billion tons (this involves the issue of stock, that is, the production of steel, but the steel cannot be sold.)
And X city does not have no export volume.

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

For example, Chinese herbal medicines such as Cordyceps villosa, Eucommia, Snow Chrysanthemum, Tianshan Snow Lotus, Gastrodia elata, Ganoderma lucidum, musk, etc., with the popularization of RNA therapy and benefiting from the more rampant flu, they have gradually become high-value decoction pieces to improve their immunity, and even obtained It has been certified by North American Physician Association for Medical Responsibility, North American Medical Association and other organizations.

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

Therefore, there is no TCM certification in North America. If you open a TCM clinic, it is tantamount to "operating without a license" and "practicing medicine illegally", including acupuncture, massage, moxibustion, taking medicine, etc., which are all illegal.

Of course, the East has also made efforts, such as launching the "Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine", hoping to obtain a certificate of Western medicine, and then promote Chinese medicine.

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

Today, traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine are incarnated as a branch technology of RNA therapy, that is, "modern Chinese medicine and modern Chinese medicine", 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 pharmaceutical supplement second only to "Leifei Capsule".

Natural water and Chinese medicine decoction pieces may seem inconspicuous, but in fact, these two are high-consumables, especially natural boiled Chinese medicine, the effect is super...

As a result, in 02 alone, the two created an export value of hundreds of billions of dollars for X city (normal sales of 20 billion + money laundering of 980 billion).

As for farmers and retired cadres in the steel industry who moved to the Himalayas, in addition to farming and steelmaking, the rest is to fill water, process traditional Chinese medicine, and pack traditional Chinese medicine.

Apart from these industries, City X also has logistics ports connecting the world, duty-free zones, temporary storage areas free of import and export procedures, tourist commemorative areas, energy development areas, fighter aircraft manufacturing areas, plateau environmental vehicle research centers, and so on.

If the space elevator project and the super space station project are counted, the GDP of City X ranks first in the East, surpassing the capital city and Shanghai.

As for comparing Daze...

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

Therefore, in March of this year, after the deputy director became a full-time director, Director Lan, the person in charge of City X, will definitely be able to join 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 is sitting firmly on Dongshan...

And Mr. and the adults who could have gone in...

We are considered someone in the north.

Thinking.

The heavy-duty transport vehicle passed through City X, and after many tests, it got into a tunnel that could not be seen.

The automatic driving function is activated, and the lights illuminate the various forks ahead like a honeycomb.

After twisting and turning like this, after running for more than half an hour, the vehicle stopped on a platform.

After a while, the platform descended, and the altitude dropped from more than 4000 meters to 3000 meters, 2000 meters, [-] meters...

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

The hall is filled with self-exploding spiders and various intelligent robots, making it look like an alien base.

Seeing this, Xiao Bu took a deep breath.

The second trip to the East this time seems to be to discuss Kirov's order, but in fact it is to enter the headquarters of the space elevator.

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

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

Because of the existence of City X, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a 'brood nest' built by microorganisms.

Of course, as the head of North America, it is impossible for Xiao Bu to risk himself. If microorganisms dare to hijack him or erode him, the protective device buried under his skin will activate. Arrived within half an hour.

So the mother planet, which seems to be calm, is actually always on the verge of a destructive war.

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

Look at the time, at 2 o'clock in the morning on February 22, there are only 5 hours left before the trial operation of the space elevator.

Such an unprecedented experiment naturally attracted many 'viewers'.

Including the German North Aerospace Delegation, the Ice Bear Aerospace Delegation, the European Alliance Aerospace Delegation, the Eastern Aerospace Science and Technology Delegation, the African Space Delegation, etc., as well as various non-governmental organizations and institutions.

Strangely, no one from NASA in North America came.

But Xiao Bu here seems to make sense.

Waiting for a long time.

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

At 5:40, all power supply facilities in the Himalayas were switched to Line 1 and operated 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 was connected to the power supply.

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

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

At 7:00, the improved silver-white peacekeeping bomber flew to the top of the main peak autonomously, and under the control of the engineer, it landed vertically at the predetermined position.

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

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 easily flew into outer space, where they disappeared.

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

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

At the same time, two hounds in space suits appeared in the cab of the peacekeeping bomber.

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

"The first person in North America to go into space is not a human being, including Mao Xiong, who was the first to go into space, and he is also not a human being."

"..."

"Also, this is a trial run. As long as the hound can withstand the overload, after three hours, if the verification is correct, we will start the construction of the space station, and then we will send a large number of engineers up in batches."

"So fast?"

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

in conversation.

The improved peacekeeping bomber, that is, the aircraft with two V6 rockets attached, successfully ignited and started during the countdown.

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

Through the monitor, Xu Fei even saw the major aerospace delegations in City X standing up collectively and paying attention.

When the "Peacekeeping Space Shuttle" is about to enter an altitude of 2 meters, the eight topological insulator tracks attached to the main girder of graphite X flashed dazzling lights one after another.

The peacekeeping space shuttle, which was already fast, seemed to be hit by someone with a giant hammer, and at the same time as it exposed a thunderous sound, it disappeared into the clouds in the blink of an eye.

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

On the screen, the peacekeeping bomber dragged smoke and broke through 2.5 meters, 3 meters, 3.6 meters, 4 meters...

The Iron Sheet Aerospace Industry also disclosed the parameters of the space elevator to the major media.

Including lean angle, wind resistance, humidity, traction and more.

All in all, everything went well with the right time and place.

This makes many investors feel very at ease.

soon.

The peacekeeping space shuttle reached the 5-meter node, extinguished the V6 rocket autonomously, and abandoned the rocket shell on the node platform, causing it to automatically slide back to the main peak.

Immediately afterwards, the topological insulator, which is internally conductive and externally insulated, activates the electromagnetic pulse device with the help of conductive properties.

At this time, the speed of the peacekeeping bomber passing the 5-meter node has approached the first speed in the universe, and it turned into a ball of fire.

This is an unprecedented phenomenon in the history of human spaceflight launches.

In other words, if the spacecraft returns too fast, it will cause combustion, but the maximum speed of launching the spacecraft is only 5000 meters per second, which is far from the point of frictional combustion.

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

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

"This is outrageous!"

Before people could react, the peacekeeping space shuttle, which had reached the first cosmic speed, had arrived in outer space.

Well, that's how fast it is.

Because the "low orbit" set by the Tin Aerospace Industry is 1000 kilometers, and the first speed of the universe is 7.9 kilometers per second, it will take up to 126.5 seconds to reach the end of the space elevator.

That is a little over 2 minutes.

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

When the peacekeeping bomber slowly landed at the end of the space elevator through its own thrust reverser, Xu Fei picked up the jasmine tea and signaled to Xiao Bu, "Cheers!"

The latter knew that Debei had succeeded, and said bitterly: "Xu, you took money."

Of course Xu Fei understood what it meant.

At the beginning, Raymond gave him four magnetic cards in order to delay the German space program.

"Don't worry, I always follow the rules. After a few days of operation, I will find a reason to Boom it later."
