Technology's opening live broadcast to build rockets

Chapter 90 Site Selection of Artificial Island

The Human Guardian Alliance immediately announced the news to the world. In the next twenty years, it will become the most important international organization in the world today!

"After serious consideration and discussion by countries around the world, we decided to establish the Guardian Alliance of All Humanity on March 3 to deal with the crisis of Nephew hitting the earth..."

"We promise that we will do our best to cooperate unconditionally with technology, materials, personnel, etc., to save ourselves as humans! Save human civilization!"

"We agree that individuals, groups, and forces that hinder the Human Guardian Alliance from carrying out various super-project construction for various reasons will be jointly sanctioned by all members..."

This is an unprecedented regulation, which is a comprehensive cooperation between economy and technology. As soon as the news was released, it shocked the world!

The people in China naturally clapped their hands and celebrated.

"congratulate!"

"It's finally established. We've been arguing for two months! If we continue to argue, the Death Star will be at their doorstep!"

"I feel relieved when I see that Du Xingyu is the international general counsel!"

"Hurry up, otherwise I won't have the motivation to do anything every day, and I always feel like the world is going to end!"

Mainstream voices in other countries are also celebrating and praising that the agreement among various countries has begun.

Scientists from various countries have begun to exchange knowledge and technology. Some people say that mankind has reached unprecedented unity. Regardless of success or failure, this will be a great era!

"We are witnessing history with our own eyes!" Experts and scholars around the world mobilized.

For the first time, major international companies did not aim at profit, gave up unnecessary competition, and began to cooperate on projects!

There are so many super projects to be built, and Du Xingyu has nothing to do.

Fortunately, experts from all over the world are communicating and discussing, gathering top elites in various fields, and after more than half a month, the "Death Star Crisis Response Plan" is finally about to be officially implemented.

"The space elevator in the first part of the plan is the top priority and is also a prerequisite for the smooth implementation of other parts!" Du Xingyu and Chinese experts and scholars stayed in the video conference room, and elites from all over the world were also present.

"Without a space elevator, it will be difficult for us to carry out subsequent projects. The cost of using rockets and spacecraft to send materials and personnel into space is too high and the efficiency is too low!"

"So we must build a space elevator in the shortest possible time!"

Immediately, a physics expert spoke: "The slenderness ratio of the space elevator is extremely large, possibly on the order of 10,000. If it is made into a compression structure, it will be crushed by its own weight. So we can only make it into a tension structure." The structure uses the centrifugal force of the earth’s rotation to maintain its main structure.”

"In this way, the overall axis of the space elevator should point to the center of the earth. In order to keep the axis vertical and provide continuous pulling force for the elevator cable, the projection of the space elevator should be on the equator. We must first build a space elevator ground station on the equator. The location!"

Everyone has no objection to this. Building the space elevator on the equator is the most scientific method.

Immediately, another meteorological expert said: "The climate of the selected site should meet the requirements of annual winds below level two, no accumulation of clouds such as cumulonimbus that may cause thunderstorms, and away from various pressure zones and monsoon circulation."

Geological experts suggested: "Considering the cable breakage, the site selection area should avoid human gathering places, or relocate local human gathering places. At the same time, the local crust should be in a stable state. East of the date line and west of the American continent The equatorial region is more suitable for site selection..."

"I suggest building an artificial island near the Zengmu Shoal at the southernmost tip of the southern China Sea." Huaxia experts suggested, "This is the closest to the equator, the climate conditions are satisfactory, and we can reclaim land as quickly as possible!"

"I think the waters at the southern tip of India are also good!" said an Indian expert.

"You can also choose a site in the Pacific Ocean!" American experts suggested.

Everyone knows that this space elevator will be an important space hub in the future, more important than the Strait of Malacca! Which country it is built in will benefit from it!

Moreover, the construction of the first space elevator will undoubtedly determine the election of the Supreme Speaker of the Human Guardian Alliance two years later. Everyone wants this opportunity!

Du Xingyu said: "I advocate building it in China. Other places cannot quickly build artificial islands in the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean. We are pressed for time. In the southern waters of China, we can ensure the fastest speed to complete the construction of artificial islands and space elevators." ground station!"

Once he spoke, it was difficult for other representatives to find reasons to refute. What Du Xingyu said is true. If we want to complete it as quickly as possible, we must have the China Infrastructure Construction Team!

All parties will still need to discuss this matter with high-level officials from various countries.

Taking advantage of this time, Du Xingyu began to perfect the simulation of the space elevator on the technology simulator.

"Design of the main structure of a space elevator, a ground station at the equator."

A model of the ground station already appeared in Du Xingyu's mind.

"Then there are cables made of special materials." Above the ground station, cables stretching over 36,000 kilometers were pulled up!

"If you want the cable to be straightened, in the Earth's synchronous orbit, you need a synchronous orbit station and a high-orbit counterweight. The Tiangong Space Station can be used as a synchronous orbit station, and the counterweight is a bit troublesome."

Du Xingyu thought to himself that they could not waste resources launching large-mass objects into high orbits as counterweights, so the counterweights must have their role.

"Use the near-Earth spaceport directly as a counterweight to kill two birds with one stone!" In Du Xingyu's vision, humans need three spaceports, one near-Earth spaceport, one lunar spaceport, and one Mars spaceport.

The near-Earth space port can be used as a high-orbit counterweight for the space elevator, and its mass is completely sufficient!

"In addition, the space elevator also needs a load-carrying car, which is a good design." Du Xingyu only needs to be responsible for overcoming the difficulties. The design of the car should be easy to solve if it is left to the experts of the Human Guardian Alliance.

"Invest one million energy points and start the simulation of the ground station!" Du Xingyu consumed energy points. The recent major event in this connection allowed him to accumulate a lot of energy points, so he didn't have to worry about running out of them in a short period of time.

During the simulation of the ground station, Du Xingyu received a lot of information sent by the Huaxia engineering team. They have extensive experience in building artificial islands. By directly inputting these data, the research and development progress exceeded 50%.

The remaining difficulty is how to fix the cable.

"The area of ​​the ground station must be at least 2,000 square meters. As a transportation hub for the earth and space, it also needs to be equipped with seaports, airports and other facilities. I don't need to consider these." Du Xingyu perfected it step by step.

"To fix the cable and keep it vertical, a super tower needs to be built on the ground station, and the tower is used as an anchor to fix the cable..."

"Invest one hundred thousand energy points and simulate a tower!" In Du Xingyu's mind, a tower simulation appeared on the ground station.

According to calculations, its overall height exceeds fifteen kilometers. Once completed, it will be the tallest tower in the world! This tower includes a seabed part and an offshore part. In order to maintain stability, the seabed part can be increased appropriately. It is best to bury it during the construction of the artificial island, which can reduce seawater erosion.
