Infrastructure: Start to Repair The Elevator in Mount Everest

Chapter 269

At this moment, outside the sky.

As the people in the Jiuquan Command Center pressed the remote control device.

The rope that was falling was originally tightening continuously.

The cable interface of the segmented connection is locked in a loop while descending rapidly.

The movement of “Ka Ka Ka” fell.

Suddenly, the parachutes originally distributed in the front section of the cable were commanded and controlled.

Under the flush, the safety slot suddenly opened.

With the sound of “Qiang——”.

At the highest position, the No. 1 parachute suddenly resembled a giant fishing net, and quickly launched the parachute to the side.

As the west wind blows, the violent gust of hula la la immediately fills the parachute that appears like an unfolding mushroom.

Immediately afterwards, at intervals below, the remaining 5 parachutes also began to bloom in sequence.

In the blink of an eye, the six huge parachutes lined up on both sides immediately played their role.

It was originally a cable that fell without resistance, but was suddenly engulfed by the parachute with a violent falling force.

There was a loud “bang”.

At an altitude of six kilometers above, there was a sudden explosion. That was the sound of all the parachutes opening, and the squally wind filled the six parachutes in an instant.

Suddenly, the aluminum-magnesium alloy cable descending at a high speed was like a bungee jumping to the pole, and it was suddenly pulled back to bend at a position less than 90 kilometers away.

After bending, although the parachute still cannot stop the violent speed of the cable.

But the rope that was originally inexhaustible, his falling power started from this moment and stopped continuing to increase.

At this moment, on the ground of Tarim, countless cameras larger than media reporters are all focusing their cameras perfectly on the cables.

“My grass…”

“Fireball!”

“Look! Big fireball, here comes, here comes!”

“It’s slowed down, it’s not a meteorite. It’s a sky-reaching cable, this…is it really something that can be made by humans?”

A reporter’s pupils reflected the blue sky and white clouds, reflecting a touch of fire that fell from the sky, and only felt his scalp tingling: “I can’t believe my eyes, this…this is a man-made thing. And this kind of sky-reaching sky comes from outside the sky. The vine will be left on the earth by us!”

As he said, he pressed the shutter button and recorded this historic moment!

All reporters, at this moment, all focus their cameras on the fire in the sky. Waiting for it to get closer and closer, waiting for it to stand firmly between the world!

at the same time.

Everyone in the command center looked at the screen at this moment, and everyone’s hands were full of sweat.

“The speed is 17,000 kilometers per hour. The cable is showing signs of slowing down.”!”

“His—the speed is too fast. When the six parachutes are opened at the same time, they only slow it down so much. If this falls on the ground, what a terrifying impact it will be!”

“Slow down…”

“It works, the ropes have rebounded in a small area, and the effect is still very obvious!”

“…”

At this time, the most nervous people are undoubtedly mathematicians.

At this moment, each of the mathematicians was holding their glasses, and they all reached the front of the monitoring screen.

Seeing the fall of the cable, the group of people almost stared out.

The old professor headed by this time didn’t care about other things at all. At this moment, his eyes were completely attracted by the speedometer of the cable.

Constantly looking at the speed in front of him, he maintained 17,000 kilometers per hour.

The old professor couldn’t help but began to mutter constantly under his full concentration:

“Slow down, slow down.”

“This falling force, we calculated absolutely no problem. The cable reached the critical point of acceleration at 100 kilometers.”

“At this critical point, the power of the parachute lift will maximize the effect of the cable.”

“As long as you decelerate to 6000 kilometers per hour now, you can start the next step of deceleration immediately.”

“Air resistance, wind resistance, parachute resistance.”

“We have taken these factors into consideration. Let fate…”

“…”

At this moment, the old professor began to tremble. He had always believed in science. But this time… he actually said something like resignation.

He believes in mathematics in everything he does. He believes that mathematics can calculate all the laws of the world. But at this moment, he felt a sense of powerlessness of ‘doing your best and obeying the destiny’.

Although he kept mumbling about the topic of success, Li Qi looked at the old professor at this moment, and he didn’t understand.

The old professor now is more worried about something wrong than anyone present.

calculate.

It is calculation after all.

Only when the actual situation meets expectations, is this a real success.

At this time.

With a sound of ‘Om—-’, there was a sudden resonance in the sky.

In the monitoring screen, everyone also saw the burning cable, and once again carried out the second stage of a pause.

It has entered the atmosphere!

And it was at this moment that the monitor who had been paying attention to the data suddenly stood up.

“Fuck!!”

“Slowed down!”

With a sound of ‘hum——’, everyone in the entire observatory turned their heads to look at the data on the screen.

The observer shouted excitedly:

“The speed of the free fall began to plummet!”

“The original acceleration g value is currently 120% per second, which is declining crazily!”

“Reduced?”

“The speed is 10,000 kilometers!”

“Nine thousand kilometers!”

At this moment, all the observers clenched their fists nervously. When they looked at the pointer on the screen to reach the ‘green’ point, a wave of tsunami came out from the observation station:

“｀ ¨Successful!!”

“Slowed down!”

“The cable started to slow down.”

“…”

8000km/h.

8500km/h

7600km/h.

Just a little bit, just a little bit before reaching the second stage of preparation speed.

Seeing that there was only a 4-digit counter in front of him, the old professor’s fists in both hands were already tightly clenched in his heart.

“6000 kilometers…”

“It’s still a little bit, it’s just a little bit. It’s already a green label, and just a little bit more, you can open the second wave of deceleration umbrellas!”

“It’s about to fall to the ground in seconds.”

“Every unit, get ready for it!”

finally.

With the panel at 7300 km/h per hour, the beginning of the 6-character start continued to be adjusted.

After watching the final number reach the critical value of 6000.

The old professor who was holding his breath finally let out a long sigh of foul breath.

At this time, the mathematicians behind him even cheered.

“Successful, successfully slowed down!”

“Long live, the deceleration goal of the first stage has been achieved. We did not make a mistake. We calculated the critical value of the first stage.” (Qian De Zhao)

“If this continues, as long as you open 4 more parachutes, all the operations behind it will be simple.”

“…”

But as someone uttered the word ‘simple’, the old professor’s bowed head immediately turned back:

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

“How easy is the remaining task!”

With a beating, the old professor looked at everyone, his eyes still full of seriousness:

“The first stage of deceleration was successful. This is not the end, this is the beginning! We immediately started the second stage of deceleration.”

“To take advantage of the victory, we must open all the remaining 4 parachutes so that we can count as true success.”

The people who have witnessed the successful slowdown of the cable speed at this moment also seem to have seen the dawn of victory.

Immediately, Director Li didn’t say much. He picked up the phone and ordered the Jiuquan Launch Center at the other end:

“Go on, continue to open the second batch of parachutes.”

“Continue to decelerate.”

“receive–!”

“The second batch of parachutes is ready to be opened immediately.”
