Infrastructure: Start to Repair The Elevator in Mount Everest

Chapter 287

At this moment, Jiuquan Launch Center.

Step on…

A group of staff members wearing aerospace costumes were hurriedly walking through the corridor and came to the door of the huge conference room.

Before entering the door, the head of the person in charge stood still at the door and turned around, looking at the people behind him with solemnity in his eyes:

“Comrades, the success of the first stage is only the beginning, and you all know the news that the second rope will be lifted off tomorrow.”

“Next comes the test.”

After all, the person in charge of the Jiuquan Command Center took a deep breath and directly pushed the door open.

After the meeting room at this moment, in addition to the experts from the first rocket launch, the large meeting room was filled with nearly 1,000 people at this moment.

Seeing that the person in charge appeared with a group of high-level officials, everyone who sat down immediately stood up.

At this moment, the person in charge had no time to greet him, and immediately strode the meteor to the summit platform, coughing and roaring directly:

“Everyone, first of all, we congratulate the success of the first phase of the’Sky Elevator’ project.”

“But time is urgent. According to calculations by Tarim experts, there is only a single “Tongtian vine cable “Eight Two Seven”, and it is very likely that it will reach its traction limit within 40 hours.”

“Therefore, the Tarim Command Center sent a message and decided to speed up the operation. The second space elevator will be launched tomorrow.”

“…”

Weng’s cry.

With the emergence of this news, many experts and technicians in the aerospace field below are all surprised.

To launch the second space cable tomorrow?

The firing interval is so dense?

At this moment, an expert directly raised his hand.

In this conference room, all the people who can come are the pillars of the aerospace industry, and the person in charge naturally also attaches great importance to the issues raised by them.

Immediately, the person in charge immediately reached out and invited the expert to speak:

“This expert, do you have any suggestions for raising your hand?”

Following the words of the person in charge, a slightly bald man slowly stood up, pushed his glasses, and said in a worried tone:

“Launch tomorrow? Is this decision too risky? If I remember correctly, the second step of the’Space Elevator’ plan is equivalent to its trial operation, so the power vehicles and materials attached to it have not been determined. .”

“The time now is close to 4 pm, and it will launch tomorrow. To be precise, if the day and night are short in Tarim, we only have a dozen hours left. Is this time a bit too stressful?”

“Chief Engineer, do you really confirm that we can launch the second cable tomorrow?”

“…”

Listening to the other party’s doubts, the person in charge at the moment looked a little heavy.

After all, he also knows that everything is unknown now.

The expert just now really deserves to be professional, and almost every problem is stepped on the idea of ​​the second phase of the plan.

Anxiously at this moment, the person in charge directly pressed his hands on the speech platform:

“It hasn’t been resolved. The problems raised by this expert are now in preparation.”

“So, that’s why we are not afraid of trouble and gather you all in this big conference room.”

After listening to the person in charge, everyone’s eyes flashed with doubts.

After that, the person in charge’s tone gradually became rushed:

“Everyone, the time is urgent. Now the research institute, design institute, Tarim command center, and our manufacturing workshop. All technical work types and associated personnel are already in the launch state.”

“It can be said that as long as the design draft is confirmed on the mountain and reclamation side, all the gears will be madly running.”

“In order to successfully complete tomorrow’s launch, our Jiuquan Center naturally cannot hold back.”

“I declare–”

At this moment, with the voice of the person in charge speaking faster and faster, everyone stood up after hearing the news.

Immediately afterwards, the person in charge looked around at the crowd, his eyes flashing loudly and said:

“From now on, all personnel will turn off mobile phones for the sake of confidentiality and also for the purpose of rushing to work.”

“All personnel will return to their posts immediately after leaving the conference room.”

“The leading groups of various departments set up a joint inspection team, a safety inspection team, and an installation guidance group. Three teams, mobile inspections, and each task in the later stage, the completion time is 10 minutes as the node. If all units encounter problems, they can directly contact the installation guidance group. help.”

“Our Jiuquan Launch Center must seize this opportunity to stay in history and create the future.”

“Once the construction is completed, it will be launched as soon as possible to ensure that the mission can be successfully completed.”

“Yes–!”

“…”

At the same time, the United States.

With the broadcast of the United States on TV, the picture came back all the way.

Almost the first person in the U.S. who stayed up all night, he was completely angry.

“Boom—-” there was a sound.

The first person in the U.S. directly threw the cup in his hand by him.

At this moment, the body of the first person in the United States was trembling.

Suddenly, he looked at an expert from NASA, the finger expert, the first person in the United States immediately yelled frantically:

“You said, this is a ‘space elevator’, can we do it?”

The expert was asked abruptly by the first person in the United States, and the whole person was immediately stunned.

“what?”

“Sir, what can I do?”

At this time, the first person in the country of rage seemed to be deaf, and even under the rage, he had already stood up from the sofa.

Pointing to the screen in front of him, the voice of the first person in the United States rose again:

“Asshole, I’m asking you, can the U.S. be as successful as China.”

“Successfully launch a cable into the sky, and then pull it!”

At this moment, although the expert heard the anger of the first person in the United States clearly, the expression in the expert’s eyes turned, and finally he fell silent.

At the same time, in the entire conference room, everyone lowered their heads in silence..

Only the first person in the U.S. was left turning around, asking everyone frantically.

“Is it possible? As the world’s hegemon, the United States can’t even do this thing?”

“Can we do it, who will answer me? Can we do it!”

“…”

After such a few rounds, the first person in the United States felt a panting for a while.

But while he gasped loudly, until now, no one has given him an answer.

Finally, the first person in the U.S. was in vain, and at this moment, like a defeated lion, he returned to his sofa with a shrugged expression and sank in.

And just when everyone was frightened.

An expert from the Ivy League Institute of Aerospace Studies suddenly whispered:

“We can’t do it, and China may not be able to do it…”

Although the sound was small, it undoubtedly attracted everyone in the meeting room where needles could be heard at the moment.

And at this moment, the first person in the United States who had been defeated jumped directly, and the anger in his heart broke out again because of this expert’s irresponsible remarks!

At this moment, pointing to the vine in the screen, the first person in the U.S. gritted his teeth and drank:

“How can’t it!”

“Look, take a good look at the screen. Now our reporters have sent back live reports. Is this cable connecting from the ground to the sky a decoration? Look again here. The NASA satellite is also in space. The picture was taken.”

“Look, none of these are fake!”

Under the anger of the first person in the U.S., the expert shrank his neck first, and finally was forced to do nothing. When the expert’s gaze turned, he suddenly stopped being scolded, and then stepped forward and pointed to the screen and said:

“Sir, rest assured, the current’Space Elevator’ is just a decoration. To put it into practice, they will have to fumble for at least several years.”

“This first step…I admit, they did succeed, but this is just the easiest step…”

“…”

With the talk of experts at this moment, the eyes of the first person in the United States could not help but start to become uncertain.

Until more and more experts began to recognize this expert’s statement, they all thought that China was just the easiest step.

Finally, the anger in the eyes of the first person in the United States gradually subsided.

At this moment, looking at the shocking outer cable on the screen, the blue eyes of the first person in the United States are already full of deep fear:

“It’s just that the easiest step is completed, then I wish China here that all the following steps will not be successful.”

While secretly speaking in his heart, the first person in the United States couldn’t help looking at the night sky outside the window.

In the universe above the sky, the current U.S. has always been dominant.

But if China succeeds…

At this moment, thinking of this, the first person in the United States involuntarily shed a string of cold sweat on the temples.

If so, the United States is in danger! .
