Infrastructure: Start to Repair The Elevator in Mount Everest

Chapter 232

As I said a long time ago, this project is definitely not something that any country, company, enterprise, or research institute in the world can do.

In another country, this can never be done.

Only China has such a strong organizational ability, and only China has such a wide range of industries. Only China can unite so many unrelated units and enterprises.

This matter is almost equivalent to the power of one country!

Now the project is not even officially launched.

But take a look, how many units were used?

Materials Research Institute;

Space agency

Launch center

Materials Research Institute;

Experts from major science colleges in China;

Chinese Academy of Sciences;

Major forest guard posts, scientific research front-line posts, municipal halls, provincial government offices all over the country…

Team of mathematicians, team of astronauts, geographers, physicists, chemists…

Although it is led by moving mountains and reclamation, it spans dozens of units. Thousands of experts are involved!

The total number of construction workers is 60,000.

The equipment used is worth hundreds of billions.

Epic!

It’s truly epic.

The space elevator, this is the most sci-fi and the greatest project to break through the sky since the birth of the earth.

The road to a new era. This is since the birth of this earth. For the first time, a road across the Kunlun Mountains appeared.

Tarim, this is since the birth of this earth. For the first time, it was a place that was noticed by the whole world, and it was recorded in the annals of history by everyone in the world.

Jiuquan. This is the greatest rocket launch on this planet that will be ushered in since the launch center was established.

Such a strong organizational ability involves many industries, with the most experts and professors personally participating in the battle, and the most powerful use of wisdom. Use computing power to surpass this historically recorded event on Earth.

It…how great.

Li Qi saw the concentration of hundreds of mathematicians in their calculations, and did not dare to bother.

He suddenly became suspicious. In the previous life, a company in the island state was preparing to set up a space elevator. Can they succeed?

Move mountains and reclaim the sea by yourself, as a space elevator led by the most terrifying and powerful construction group on this planet. Still have to use the power of the entire country.

In that small island country, their company wants to build a space elevator?

Can they succeed?

Li Qi was a little bit dumb after thinking about it. Maybe, that was the real trick to cheat money…

It wasn’t until this step that Li Qi came to his senses. Why the concept of the space elevator in the previous life has been put forward for more than a hundred years, and various theoretical supports have been perfected, but no one dares to start construction…

This is terrifying. ,

Li Qi couldn’t help but smile. If he was not in China, it is estimated that he would not be able to build a space elevator in another fifty years.

Li Qi watched the mathematicians use paper and pen to calculate, and could not help but suddenly asked:

“Why don’t they use computers for calculations? There are quantum computers.”

Director Li laughed: “What do you think about it. They calculate the units, and the numbers are actually not big. If the numbers are not very big, you can’t actually use a computer. Even abacus and mental arithmetic are faster than computers.”

“Then what are they doing?”

“In the calculation details, countless details…”

Director Li said, and paused: “For example. Calculate the earth’s rotation and revolution factors on the ecliptic plane. Calculate how long the rocket will reach the estimated altitude of 36,000 kilometers after launching from Jiuquan. Then it will be accompanied at that altitude. How long does it take to fly to the ground, and at what angle. When it reaches the level, throw the aluminum-magnesium alloy wire down.”

“Then calculate the time for the aluminum-magnesium alloy wire to fall to the ground. The time when it encounters air resistance in the atmosphere… At what point does it fall into Tarim? It falls accurately into Tarim.”

Li Qi’s eyes widened in amazement.

Listening to Director Li’s constant chatter, the whole person was stupid.

Only then did he realize that there are so many factors involved…

Yes.

Theoretically, just drop the aluminum-magnesium alloy wire from space and let it fall into Tarim.

but.

The earth is so big, Tarim is so small compared to the whole earth. How much calculation is needed to make this rope fall in Tarim?

It’s like… on a spinning ping-pong ball, there is a point the size of a needle. You need to drop a fishing line from the sky, and one end of the fishing line must fall precisely on the point of the rotating ping-pong ball…

Even if it is a non-rotating ping-pong ball, you may not be able to accurately throw one end of the fishing line to the point of the needle tip..

Let alone a spinning table tennis ball.

Li Qi finally figured out…why so many mathematicians are used.

This, this cannot be calculated by a computer.

Computers can provide them with simulations or numerical values. But it cannot be provided to them-mathematical logic, computational logic.

After figuring this out, Li Qi just exclaimed:

“No wonder people often say…”

“A mathematician is the person closest to God!”

“…”

After speaking, Li Qi visited the Long March 5 rocket under the leadership of Director Li. After inspecting the internal situation, Li Qi said solemnly:

“Director Li, this time, there is one more thing.”

“whats the matter”?”

“I hope Jiuquan can develop a small booster rocket for us. I need to spiral down from the sky…”

Then, Li Qi stated his vision.

Director Li was silent for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: “Fuck, wonderful!”

Li Qi asked quickly: “Well, is it technically difficult?”

“It’s not difficult. This is just using Qian Xuesen’s ballistics. It’s wonderful. I actually thought about how to twist the cables together in the past two days. This will let you solve it. You said you are a construction guy, tut… …”

Li Qi smiled bitterly: “It’s just a whim.”

“You don’t need to worry about it. I will arrange this… In fact, there is no need to boost the Rockets at all.”

Li Qi frowned suspiciously: “Why?”

“Boost the rocket, then you need a small rocket engine and fuel. How heavy is this?”

“What’s the use?”

“You only need to calculate a fixed angle at the end of the rope where it falls, and install the propeller blades. In the process of further down, the blades and inertia will drag the rope downward spirally…”

“In space, there is no need for a rocket booster at all, only a steam booster. Only a small amount of force is needed to push it into a predetermined orbit of rotation, and then it will always follow this orbit… ”

Sure enough, the professional field. Still have to hire professionals!

Li Qi just thought about it, and they solved all the problems directly! .
