Chapter 498 Space Elevator

Nowadays, Frederick and the people involved are very busy, running around to various places every day.

The space elevator has entered the final stage, and he is even more fortunate to have the help of skilled engineering and technical personnel sent from the mainland, so that the project can be completed smoothly as expected.

The main project covering several thousand meters has been completed, located 50 kilometers away from the sea in the central part of Sumatra Island.

Six light steel cables as thick as wrists pierce the sky.

These cables were initially very thin and sent into space one by one, and then welded in sections in the middle.

These very thin lightweight steel wires are then woven together.

The cable gradually becomes as thick as the wrist. After completing one, the next ones will be more convenient.

They are all sent into space and connected to the space station with the help of this complete cable.

The space station is huge, and through assembly bit by bit, it is still quite large today.

The constantly rotating artificial gravity design allows people here to walk inside the space station.

However, it has not been officially completed yet, and the planned space factory and other departments have not yet been completed.

But all these will not be built until the space elevator is officially operational.

After all, the cost of launching with a rocket is too high.

One of the purposes of building a space elevator is to replace rocket launches.

There are now hundreds of people working and living in the space station.

However, after it is officially opened, many people will go back.

There are so many people now, mainly engineers, who built this space station from scratch.

Including those who rotate, there are less than a thousand people in total, and these people are all carefully selected.

There are also more than 200 technicians from the mainland.

The truth is that there are too few people in South China who are qualified to work in space, and the population base is, after all, not as large as that of the mainland.

Under global attention, the space elevator was officially launched.

The venue was filled with global leaders who were invited to watch the ceremony.

This is a far-reaching project that no one would refuse to attend if invited.

The same is true for the United States and the Soviet Union, with quite a few people coming.

However, these matters were handled by Wang Canwen, while Wang Ze sat in the control room, looking at the magnificent man-made wonder outside through the huge windows.

There is only one now, and according to the plan, construction will continue here in the future.

This will be the starting point for Nanhua to move towards the universe.

With the appearance of Wang Jixin, the atmosphere at the scene reached its highest point.

After a round of salutes, Wang Jixin delivered a speech on behalf of the clan association.

After the relevant leaders finished their speeches, the first operation of the space elevator officially began under global live broadcast.

Even though the experiment had been conducted in stages many times, Frederick was still excited because this was his child.

His life was worth it, and his name will live forever in the future history of space exploration.

The ceremonial start button was pressed, and driven by the motor, the elevator, like a house, slowly started to move, then faster and faster.

Finally, it slowly disappeared from everyone's sight.

The crowd outside who came to watch the excitement let out bursts of exclamations, and the sound even reached Wang Ze's ears.

Anyone who sees something as big as a house running faster and faster and flying into the sky will find it difficult to remain calm.

Not only the tourists from outside, but also the leaders of various countries who received the invitation felt mixed emotions.

As human beings, of course we are excited about this moment, which means that humans can officially leave the earth and survive in space.

But the reality of different nationalities and races makes them dislike this thing.

Among these people, the leader of the Asian Alliance was of course smiling from ear to ear, this thigh bag was perfect.

Although this belongs to Nanhua, they can definitely get a piece of it.

Although they don't know what to do at the moment, it doesn't matter what they do. What is important is that under his leadership, people from his country appear in space and live for a long time.

But it is different in the mainland. Nanhua is a country with the same language and culture as us, and it was separated only a few decades ago. People who can make such great achievements are very proud.

It’s a pity that this thing was not built by myself, otherwise it would be perfect.

I also started to wonder if they could join in here.

If we have not kept up with the Age of Discovery, we must not fall behind in the Space Age.

The ceremony was broadcast live on television via satellite, and although some countries chose not to access the signal, the news still caused a sensation around the world.

The space elevator is different from computers and cars. It is a project that can bring about qualitative changes in a country.

Some people took to the streets holding signs, expressing their dissatisfaction with this incompetent government. For a time, protests spread across Western countries.

They couldn't stand the fact that a person of color could surpass them.

Of course, this is just what the grassroots people think.

Among the intellectual class, there is already a discussion about whether Chinese people are people of color.

And they dug up history to prove that Chinese people should actually be white.

Not many people in South China paid attention to these farces.

Young people in South China all have the arrogance of a great country, which is a temperament they have developed from living in a wealthy country for many years.

Not only the Western society, but even the people in the Asian Alliance are very dissatisfied.

Ever since the space elevator began operating, their eyes have been on space.

There are even more applicants for majors related to space.

The virtual world company also kept up with the fashion and developed a space war game. The developer of this game was Wang Canning.

Wang Canning has become the most important core member of the virtual world project.

After the success of the virtual world project, the Second Research Institute also began to develop the human hibernation project.

This is an essential technology for future space exploration.

Otherwise, you can't make a trip and then die of old age before you get to the place.

From the perspective of the universe, the earth is just a speck of dust. If humans want to step out, it cannot be done with a single technology.

An overall breakthrough is needed.

The emergence of virtual technology has enabled Nanhua to develop faster. Virtual technology is not just about games or shopping.

More importantly, it is learning.

In the virtual space, the knowledge learned will directly stimulate the brain, and the memory will be much stronger than learning outside.

Nowadays, new city universities and technical colleges have also started virtual world teaching.

Many gifted children are not confined to their own schools. They can instantly reach the classroom of another school.

A classroom can accommodate an unlimited number of people to attend classes.

Although the effects have not yet been shown, it can be predicted that in a few years, Nanhua will welcome more talents.

(Thank you all for the gifts. I feel bad for not writing as much as you guys. This book is about to end. It’s very troublesome to wrap it up quickly. I find that I can’t write at all. It’s a headache to write.)
