From black technology to super engineering - #478 - Chapter 477 The Space Elevator Does Not Work

Even if Ye Ming doesn’t have the slightest so-called Virgin Mary plot, as a scientist, this kind of weapon to destroy and destroy the planet…however, it doesn’t conform to the style and feelings of a scientist.

But… When Ye Ming heard the word “Jian Xing”, Ye Ming visibly visibly shocked everyone present at the same time.

“Can it be built now? I mean, when the lunar accelerator is built.”

“Sorry, it doesn’t work at the moment. It needs a larger accelerator to manufacture the body, so as to accommodate more two-dimensional expansion space. According to estimates…that will be a circumplanetary-level accelerator.”

Hearing this, everyone took a breath.

At this time, someone raised his hand again, and then asked rather hastily: “Professor Ye, is the space elevator necessary?”

Ye Ming coughed lightly and looked towards the source of the sound.

Those were the participants of Ni Country.

Immediately, an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

——Since China took the lead in launching various space projects, you said that some countries, such as Europe, America, etc., are not in a hurry? That is obviously impossible.

But the reason why a super project is a super project is that…the construction of this thing requires all the power of the country, and even gathers the power of the whole world.

You create another one, let alone whether you have that kind of ability, even if you have… it won’t help!

Therefore, Ou Ni and so on have been blazing new trails.

The space elevator is one of their ideas.

After all… Humans are destined to go to space, and once the space elevator is built, it means that the progress of the space city will be greatly accelerated, and people can travel freely.

In a more profound sense, this can also break the situation of “one family dominates” in the field of space in China.

The so-called face is earned by oneself, if it does not reflect a little strength, then under the new framework in the future, will it be impossible to say a word?

As far as Ye Ming knows, Europe and the United States have probably solved the material problem at present-in fact, it is super-strong carbon nanotubes used as connecting materials-this idea appeared 20 years ago, but it was only because of carbon nanotubes at that time. The cost of the tubes is too high and carbon nanotubes larger than fifty centimeters cannot be produced and only exist in the imagination.

Up to now, with the support of the field of chip materials, Niguo people have completed the generation of ultra-long carbon nanotubes.

This is not difficult to understand, after all, carbon nanotubes were discovered by Ni people.

It is said that it has reached tens of meters, and it is far from the upper limit…

This means that the space elevator has certain feasibility in terms of materials.

The reason why it is certain is because… In addition to its upper limit, space elevators need to solve more problems. The simplest requirement is the transfer platform-if you follow the structure of traditional elevators, it can only be said that watching science fiction works Enough.

According to the design, with the blessing of carbon nanotubes, the space elevator also needs a platform that can maintain stability in the air to share the weight of its own weight and the weight of the cabin, instead of creating a few tens of thousands of kilometers of carbon nanotubes, Then hang it in the air, and then you can drive the box body to and from the earth and space.

But… Such a transfer platform can only be realized by anti-gravity technology.

However, China, which possesses anti-gravity technology, refuses to mention space elevators. Instead, it pushes the production capacity of shipbuilding and dumpling dumplings to the limit… It is irritating.

Seeing Ye Ming looking at him, Niguo’s representative smiled and nodded, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Ye Ming kept his vision unchanged, but looked at the leader from the corner of his eye. After seeing the leader shook his head without leaving a trace, Ye Ming laughed.

Of course, there are reasons for not mentioning space elevators in China.

Apart from the fact that the currently seemingly reliable materials are in the hands of the people of Ni, the most important thing is…it’s unnecessary.

“The premise of building a space elevator is that the carrying capacity of the space transport spacecraft is insufficient, and the carrying cost is too high. But…at present, as far as our spacecraft technology is concerned, this problem does not exist.”

The representative of Ni Country was slightly taken aback, with disbelief evident on his face.

Ye Ming smiled again.

“Sir, it is a common sense that the transport capacity of trains is far inferior to that of freight ships.”

Following his words, the expression of the Ni country representative immediately became a little ugly.

Ye Ming also looked away, looked at the venue again, and opened the file at the same time.

“The following is some research progress on Canglan Star so far. It involves the photosynthetic enzymes necessary for the artificial synthesis of starch, and the research progress on some genes that extend the lifespan of mice.”

…

Ye Ming only attended the three-day meeting for two days.

In the evening of the second day, he did not have dinner with the participants, but came to Shangyue International Hotel.

Professor Tang Zhigao, Professor Chen Xiaofang, and Musk, who hadn’t seen each other for a long time, stood in a row at the entrance of the hotel, welcoming him with smiles.

“Ms. Tang, Mr. Chen…”

Ye Ming jumped out of the car and walked quickly towards Old Tang and the others. Finally, when he shook hands with Musk, he called “Teacher Ma” by the way.

Long time no see, the white hair on Musk’s sideburns has become thicker and thicker, and the whole person is visibly getting older.

“Come on, let’s go into the room to talk—I heard that there are two people from Microsoft and Intel, why didn’t we see anyone?” Ye Ming glanced behind the three of them, greeted Yang Chaoxiong and asked with a smile.

“They’re at the semiconductor industry summit tonight.”

“Oh, well, we are indeed not in the semiconductor industry.” Ye Ming laughed, then stood still, and made a gesture of invitation to Old Tang.

No matter how high and powerful he is, he is still a student in front of Old Tang and Old Chen.

The rake cannot be placed upside down.

Professor Tang was very satisfied with Ye Ming’s set, and walked into the hotel first after pretending to be modest.

…

After entering an absolutely soundproof private room, five people were seated separately.

The people present were all men of science and engineering, and they couldn’t be polite, so they sat down. Professor Tang and Professor Chen looked at each other, and immediately asked, “Is there any news to tell?”

Ye Ming was setting his chopsticks, and when he heard this, he glanced at Musk, who had been staring at him since entering the door, and asked with a smile, “What news does the teacher want to hear?”

“Hey… what you said is of course all the news!” Professor Tang smiled and glared at him: “As long as you dare to say it, I will dare to listen.”

“Well, then, what I can reveal is probably…”

Said Ye Ming looked at Musk.

The latter also immediately looked at him nervously.

“A preliminary consensus has been reached, and a new human joint organization will be established.”

“On this basis, all human industries will be fully reorganized, and human beings will completely enter an intelligent production society.”

“At the same time, human beings… will also completely liberate productivity.”

After his words fell, Tang, Chen and Ma were stunned and speechless.

After a while, Professor Tang took a deep breath, and the light in his eyes was uncertain.

“What the hell happened?”

——All of you here are not fools. It is definitely impossible to unite human beings with a common “common destiny”.

Ye Ming pursed his lips and exhaled slowly.

“For now, keep it secret.”
