Infrastructure: Start to Repair The Elevator in Mount Everest

Chapter 267

With immense anxiety, Li Qi hurriedly spoke when he stepped forward:

“how?”

“What did you figure out?”

“The exact location of the fall, where is it!”

The mathematician looked at Li Qi and said quickly: “Southwest, the crash point of c27, the error: within 20 meters!”

Li Qi glared fiercely, and quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and let out a loud roar:

“C27 falling point.”

“Everyone, immediately gather to the c27 fall point!”

“Toggle group a1 received!”

“Toggle group a2 received!”

“Towing group b1 received!”

“The first brigade received!”

“…”

With a command from Li Qi, the traction men and horses chasing the cable crazily in Tarim became crazy!

c27 falling point!

From a bird’s eye view of the periphery of Tarim, the magnificent scenes of the present Tarim are simply breathtaking.

In the sky, a long dragon with “August 17″ fluttering with fireworks is falling down boldly.

On the ground, countless vehicles rushed to roll up thousands of miles of sand and dust gathered in one place.

At this moment, the land of Tarim feels a loud bang that has not been seen in thousands of years, chasing the 10×10 tractor with the falling cable, and now you are chasing after me and roaring with huge horsepower.

And behind them, motorcycles, transport vehicles, and jeeps.

All the people who moved mountains and reclaimed the sea are rushing frantically, rushing to the c2 fall point frantically.

At the same time Li Qi arranged, Director Li didn’t have any idleness here. While listening to the mathematician’s analysis, Director Li quickly took out the phone and dialed out, shouting: “The new fall location has been calculated. The coordinates of the fall will be sent to you immediately.”

“receive!”

On the other side, the staff of the Space Agency in Jiuquan hurriedly recorded while asking:

“Director Li, the descending height of the cable is close to 700 kilometers, do you open the parachute as planned to assist in deceleration!”

Director Li said in a deep voice: “Has this height been reached? Then carry out as planned!”

“Everyone, immediately start preparing to open the parachute to slow down, and make preparations for the cable landing in advance…”

And when Director Li gave the order with a solemn expression, the mathematician who was reporting the data next to Director Li immediately exclaimed:

“Director Li!!!”

Director Li turned his head in amazement: “How…”

“Recovered immediately. Now, you can’t open the parachute!”

“what?”

“Can’t slow down!!!”

Um?

Listening to the mathematician’s words, everyone looked at them in amazement.

Don’t open the parachute?

Can’t slow down yet?

This is an important part of the plan, not to mention that the current cable speed has exceeded expectations.

If you don’t slow down, do you really have to wait for the cable to be planted into the ground like a telegraph pole?

Especially Director Li, now looking at the crazy-eyed mathematician in front of him, there is no time to hang up the phone:

“Professor, what do you mean?”

“Why, why can’t it slow down? The current state of the cable has exceeded our expectations by so much.”

“If you don’t slow down, how will the people on the ground catch the rope?”

At this time, the mathematician picked up the result of his own calculation and immediately rushed to Director Li’s eyes.

Because of the excitement that the mathematician spoke at this moment, his voice became hoarse:

“Mr. Li, Director Li.”

“Look, this is the latest data we got.”

“Now that the rocket’s first stage of deceleration is lost, coupled with the impact of the 24 meters per second crosswind, the acceleration of the cable will directly make the parachute unbalanced. Now when the parachute is turned on, the cable will finally fall to 20 kilometers close to the ground, and the inertial force will be lost. Other forces are involved, which will immediately cause gravity to intervene in the cable prematurely.”

“In other words, the rope will be directly affected by gravity at high altitude, and will escape directly after being stuck in the air!”

“At that time, our plan to capture the rope on the ground will completely fail!”

“…”

As the mathematician explained so quickly, everyone was stunned after listening.

In everyone’s eyes, there was a touch of shock.

What? Now opening the parachute will cause the plan to capture the rope to fail!

so serious?

At this moment, Li Qi’s eyes widened after listening to the mathematician’s report, and he took a step forward and asked anxiously:

“Professor, you mean that if we turn on the parachute now, we will lose even the three-second capture opportunity. But according to your calculations, can’t we succeed without opening the parachute and letting the cable fall freely?”

“Professor, look at the current data. The rope in the sky is still increasing the speed of the fall! If you fall in this way, the tow personnel who catch the rope below are in danger.”

Listening to Li Qi’s analysis, Director Li was so frightened that he waved his hands again and again:

“President Li is right. If you don’t slow down, it’s too dangerous. At the current speed of the cable, it’s no less than a high-altitude cannonball. If you don’t slow down, the cable will directly hit the ground.”

“At that time, people around the ground will be attacked by violent shock waves. In three seconds, let alone completing the towing task, I am afraid that many people will be killed in that instant..”

“…”

At this time, the old professor listened to the two men’s concerns and immediately pointed to the results of the calculation:

“No, I just don’t open it now. But the deceleration still has to be reduced.”

“Mr. Li, Director Li, you two look here, we found through calculations that we started to decelerate in the last 100 kilometers of the cable, and opened the parachute twice…”

“In this way, the first deceleration can directly offset the acceleration of gravity by 50%, and the second time as a guarantee, it can fully cover the remaining power potential of the cable.”

“Open the umbrella twice, double insurance. Only in this way can we ensure that the cable falls perfectly.”

“…”

Listening to the mathematician’s explanation, at this moment, Li Qi and Director Li couldn’t help but look at each other deeply.

As Li Qi nodded slowly, Director Li couldn’t help but licked his teeth.

“S–!”

“this……”

“this……”

And just as Director Li was hesitating, the voice of the space agency came again from the phone that did not hang up at this moment:

“Director! The parachute is ready! Open it, Chief, may I open the parachute now!”

Listening to the voice opposite, the hand of the mathematician holding the proof paper trembled:

“Director——!!!”

With an exclamation from the mathematician, Director Li’s eyes flashed with determination, and he immediately exhausted his whole body and picked up the phone:

“Don’t open it!”

“Operation center, from now on, all parachutes are on guard!”

“The specific opening time, wait for my notification!!”

“Remember, you must wait for my notice!!”

“Yes–!”

After the roar was over, Director Li’s head was covered with sweat at this moment.

The old professor watched Director Li finally give the order to stop, and then he let out a sigh of relief.

At this moment, after Li Qi pressed the button of the walkie-talkie, he immediately informed everyone:

“Start now, enter the final stage!”

“All units, according to the estimated data of mathematicians, enter the final stage of tackling tough problems!”

“Everyone prepares–!”

“Yes–!”

At this moment, the cable distance in the sky fell.

There are 5 minutes left!
