Space, altitude 36,000 kilometers, geosynchronous orbit.

The robots are working hard. In every recent launch, a robot engineering team will be sent into space while carrying the space station module, until the number is saturated, reaching sixty robots and twelve construction teams.

Twelve construction teams are the best optimization after scientific demonstration. After all, the launch speed is limited, and the robots are tireless, working 24 hours a day. If the construction team is too large, there will be insufficient raw materials. Use, a situation where workers are waiting for building materials.

In the quiet and dark space, you can clearly see that the central axis of Station Zero is almost completed. This is the greatest miracle in the history of human space. The International Space Station, standing on Station Zero overlooking the International Space Station, is like a giant staring at the ants on the ground.

When the International Space Station is running, it has to bear atmospheric resistance, and its orbital height will continue to decrease, so it needs to be raised frequently. In January 2019, the orbital height of the International Space Station was 334 kilometers, but in August, the orbital height was raised to 356 kilometers. kilometer.

On average, the orbital height of the International Space Station is maintained at about 345 kilometers, which is less than one percent of the orbital height of Station Zero. Compared with this, this is still the smallest item among all the gaps, and the gaps in the rest, such as volume, living space, self-sustaining ability, etc., are even bigger, which is simply horrible.

“This group of lunatics, they are so fast. The central axis of Station Zero has already taken shape, and it has only been a few months since their first launch.” Musk in the office, He stared at the screen without blinking.

As a competitor, Musk pays close attention to every move of Station Zero. While Station Zero is being built, North America is not idle. Before the completion of Station Zero, the first interstellar Internet project in human history, Starlink, was completed.

Currently the world’s most focused focus is on the space hegemony between China and the United States. Luo Jia represents the Huaxia team to build station zero, and Musk represents the North American and Western teams to build Starlink.

Compared to the huge space program, the challenge of the Semiconductor Alliance to the chip industry of Star Technology, the war of the Global Automobile Industry Federation against the three giants of China’s automobile industry, and the R&D competition between Western Biological and Pharmaceutical Group and the Life Science Department of Star Technology, these divisions The battlefield is somewhat inferior. After all, China and North America’s space program has invested an unprecedented trillion scale. Both sides are putting up a desperate posture.

So far, Xingchen Technology is still dominant. Although from the perspective of profit prospects, Starlink Network is easier to make money, and Zero Station seems to be a bottomless pit of burning money, but Xingchen Technology has a big killer robot, Star Wings In just a few months after it came out, it has gained a large number of fans around the world, and it has the characteristics of becoming a new generation of Internet celebrities.

“Hey, that looks like…a big bundle of rope…?”

Looking at the object slowly floating in space, Musk fell into deep thought. He manipulated the spy satellite, zoomed in on the camera, and confirmed that it was really a kind of rope, very thin and long, wound into a cylinder, and was driven by the star rocket. What was sent into space seems to be part of the zero space station.

Musk was confused. He scratched his scalp and didn’t figure it out. What does Station Zero need so many ropes for?

And it is obviously not an ordinary rope, it is very thin, but it has amazing toughness.

Indonesia, Weigu Island.

The huge mountain was hollowed out from the middle, and the construction forces from China Construction, Railway Construction, Road and Bridge, and Marine Engineering have been fighting on the island for a whole year.

In addition to hollowing out the mountain, they also built a wharf capable of accommodating 10,000-ton cargo ships, a road around the island, a winding road, a 6.5-kilometer artificial beach, a residential area that can accommodate 100,000 people, and two comprehensive commercial centers. A Kamen vortex street power generation array, a super-large waterworks, and street lights all over the island.

The local residents were incomparably shocked. The legend of the infrastructure madman had existed for a long time, but they never expected that the infrastructure madman would be so powerful. The island has changed from a barbaric island with only 3,000 inhabitants to a modern paradise full of high technology.

A local aborigine paddled a canoe and tried to migrate to Weigu Island, but unfortunately was intercepted by a patrol boat hidden in the dark. The men who were not wearing military uniforms but acted like professional soldiers were skilled. The aborigines tied them tightly, and let the aborigines cry, but the men didn’t care.

The only thing waiting for the intruders is the prison. The legal department of Xingchen Technology has always been known for its uncompromising and suing you to death.

Boom~

The helicopter made a harsh roar and landed on Weigu Island. Cao Yuan got off the plane, met with Cai Zhuguo, the local head of the national team, and shook hands cordially.

Then, they drove up the coastline and arrived at the top of the mountain. Standing on a concrete platform, they looked at the bottomless giant pit below. Workers are working 24 hours a day and night.

Cai Zhuguo unfolded the construction blueprint and introduced the progress of the project to Cao Yuan. The ground part of the space elevator is about to be buried. The huge mechanical support is like the sharp claws of a monster. Like a fixed bolt driven into the ground.

Soon, station zero will hang down the first cable to connect the ground with station zero. The principle of the space elevator is like a rope with a stone tied to the top, and then swing it in a circle. Straightened.

Sounds not difficult, but the twists and turns, only the scientific workers who challenged this super project can really understand, for more than a year, the hundreds of thousands of engineers and scientists in Xingchen Technology have not slept well I feel that they are all working hard.

“Let’s go, let’s go down and have a look.” Cao Yuan rubbed his messy hair and said in a deep voice, “The No. 1 cable is about to be installed, we must make sure everything is safe.”

Cai Zhuguo was taken aback, “So fast?”

“Soldiers are expensive.” Cao Yuan chuckled and said, “Our President Luo said that North America will soon launch the first phase of the Starlink network. No matter what, we must not let our opponents be complacent.”

“Really? That guy Musk is also very fast, do you know when exactly?” Cai Zhuguo asked curiously.

Cao Yuan shrugged helplessly, “February 14th, Valentine’s Day in the West, I don’t know who came up with the bad idea on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, to pick Valentine’s Day to open the Starlink network, and I despise us single dogs. What do you mean?”

Puff~

Cai Zhuguo couldn’t hold back for a while, and almost laughed out loud. The tough guy group lacks everything, but there is no shortage of single dogs. Even if Xingchen Dating has been online for four years, it can’t solve all problems. It seems that some people start from the mother’s womb Doomed to be single.

“Those grandsons are indeed bad enough, what single dogs, you just don’t want to waste time with women.” Seeing Cao Yuan frown, Cai Zhuguo hurriedly put on a serious face and said.

“Valentine’s Day without Valentine…”

In the meditation center, Luo Jia hummed a song in a good mood. The space elevator project is progressing smoothly, and the first cable will be installed soon. The time is just in time for the announcement of the first phase of the North American Starlink network, which is even worse than what Luo Jia planned. It’s two weeks early.

There was a sudden tremor on his wrist, Luo Jia glanced at the smart watch, and saw that the time agreed with Hei Jian had arrived, so he went to the third basement floor, put on the virtual reality helmet, and opened the tower of the secret network , into the ruins.

Heijian had already arrived ahead of time, and he seemed to be in a bad state of mind. He was sitting beside the fountain in a daze, staring at the constantly shaking water surface. Take two steps.

“Mr. Luo Jia!” Hei Jian said respectfully.

“Well, how is your situation there? You should have successfully entered the Forgotten Galaxy?” Luo Jia asked. Well, word of mouth is important.

Hei Jian frowned, and said in a very embarrassed way: “The situation is really hard to describe. With the location you gave us, we did successfully enter the Forgotten Galaxy, but the situation is far more complicated than I imagined.”

“The first is interference, magnetic signals, radar signals, space signals, gravitational signals, various signal sources are lost one after another, or they are thrown into chaos for no reason. Since the loss of artificial intelligence assistance, the radar and fire control systems have been relying on artificial intelligence. Calculation and analysis, the chaotic signal source increased the workload limit, and the crew complained incessantly.”

“The second is mental pressure. The second commander of the fleet, the chief engineer, and the senior crew members in the fleet all felt as if we were being spied on. It seemed that there were invisible eyes staring at us in the darkness.”

There is such a strange thing?

Luo Jia opened the star map in his mind to check. According to the data of the golden dome, it is normal for the Forgotten galaxy to experience extreme chaos and signal disturbances, but the mysterious sense of peeping cannot be explained.

“Assuming that Black Sword is the reason, it is impossible for all senior crew members to have problems, and the higher the rank of the crew, the more obvious the feeling of being spied on. This should be the reason for the different levels of perception.”

Luo Jia’s mind is fast~Soverse.com~Neglected the possibility of Hei Jian’s lying. All major civilizations attach great importance to the development of human potential. However, the low-level crew did not feel the reason.

“I’m sorry, I’m just a navigator, not a psychoanalyst. I can’t give an answer to the question of the sense of voyeurism, but signal interference is normal, and it is a risk that must be borne by forcibly entering the Forgotten Galaxy.” Luo Jia was a little bit Said the **** stick temperament.

Heijian nodded, and smiled awkwardly, “It’s true that I was too presumptuous to ask you questions outside of your profession. After entering the Forgotten Galaxy, we immediately dispatched scout ships and exploration drones to find our The thing I’m looking for is very likely to exist in the seventh, eighth, and thirteenth star sectors, and I want to investigate there first.”

Luo Jia nodded slightly. The strategy was already decided before. The Forgotten galaxy is too big, consisting of more than one hundred star regions. After the area, Luo Jia is leading it.

“Seventh, Eighth, Thirteenth Sector?”

Luo Jia muttered, and the full picture of these three star regions quickly appeared in his mind. Together, they just formed a triangular area, in which there were many turbulent currents, and more dangerous space faults than turbulent currents.

After a little thought, Luo Jia began to plan the route for Hei Jian.

“As long as you strictly follow the route I gave you, you can avoid dangers in the area. Remember, don’t deviate from the route unless necessary.” Luo Jia warned solemnly.

After all this was done, Hei Jian returned to the fleet full of gratitude with the route marker in hand, and Luo Jia also returned to Earth, starting to prepare for the establishment of the space elevator No. 1 cable.

As the old saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as you can complete this step, the craziest space program in history is half the battle.
