Infrastructure: Start to Repair The Elevator in Mount Everest

Chapter 292

At this moment, with everyone arguing.

Gradually, the materials for the bearings have also begun to be determined.

At this moment, Professor Ma, as an expert in aerospace engineering, slowly speaks:

“Well, regarding the bearing material, we have decided on the nickel-based alloy. Everyone has no objection now?”

As Professor Ma spoke, at this moment, an expert beside Professor Ma slowly stood up:

“Now, we have confirmed the use of tpu materials for pulleys, and nickel-based superalloy materials for bearings.”

And just as this expert is making a concluding statement, preparing to send the data to the research institute.

An expert immersed in calculation suddenly raised his hand:

“no!”

With a loud roar, everyone’s eyes looked over. At this moment, the expert who used temporary computer calculations raised his head and frowned:

“I have just performed a simulation calculation. You see, the transmission system composed of these two materials can only hold up to 70″ 827″ 00 kilometers of the cable. Later, under the severe loss, 6000 kilometers. , The bearing will be overheated, and at a distance of 14,000 kilometers, the pulley will wear out.”

“Everyone, this is my calculation at the second lowest speed in the universe. The actual speed may be faster!”

“…”

Will it start to collapse from 6000 kilometers?

Hasn’t this been discussed for so long?

At this moment, many experts have come to the scene simulated by this expert.

As the expert ran the loaded model data again, he looked at the image of the car and began to show signs of collapse.

The experts who came forward looked at the screen, and in front of the factual data, everyone fell silent, and everyone’s eyes were full of anxiety.

Seeing that the materials of the pulleys and bearings are determined, they are all close to production!

Now such a problem has happened?

At this moment, Professor Ma, who had just determined the materials, came behind the computer.

Looking at the picture, Professor Ma said slowly after a little thought:

“The collapse of the pulley was due to wear. Then we added a layer of anti-wear coating to the outside of the tpu material while shaping it.”

“As for the bearing, in the nickel-based alloy material, doped with chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, and other alloys? Can’t we add niobium, tantalum and indium…”

“Come on, simulate this to see the effect.”

As the experts who turned on the computer frantically filled out the calculation conditions according to Professor Ma’s requirements, soon, a simulation screen that satisfies the strengthening conditions of these materials came out.

At this moment, all the experts held their breath and watched silently at the beginning of the simulation on the screen.

As the position of the car cabin in the cable continues to improve in the simulation screen, many experts around them are constantly exclaiming.

“6000 kilometers.”

“10,000 kilometers.”

“It will be 14,000 kilometers soon!”

“Okay, now it’s 15,000 kilometers.”

“…”

Under the exclamation, everyone had excitement in their eyes.

Seeing that the car cabin has exceeded the 14,000 kilometers just simulated without collapsing, everyone is happy.

“Yes, so sure enough.”

“Professor Ma is worthy of being an expert in aerospace engineering, and his proposal solved the problem.”

“Then what are you waiting for, quickly gather the materials and let the research institute prepare…”

But while everyone was happy, suddenly, when the simulation calculation of the car reached the position of 18,000 kilometers of the cable.

The originally stable car suddenly exploded.

It’s over…

At this moment, everyone looked at the simulated screen on the computer, and their hearts were ashamed for an instant.

Does this increase the intensity, or does it not allow the car to reach the target?

And just as the experts sighed, Professor Ma began to scratch his head and wondered if there was any more critical material.

While Li Qi focused on the screen, his gaze was suddenly attracted by the pulley in the center.

“and many more.”

“The No. 2 design, the hollow part in the middle, has 24 sets of pulleys…”

“Twenty-four sets of pulleys, since the bearings and pulleys as a whole can advance to a position of nearly 20,000 kilometers, why continue to strengthen?”

“As long as the bearings and pulleys are grouped and relayed in the same way to carry the cabin, in that case…”

“…”

As Li Qi imagined the No. 2 design drawing in his mind, the bearings and pulleys began to rotate in groups.

At this moment, Li Qi felt more feasible as he thought about it.

Even if it is divided into two stages, as long as they are divided into groups, in addition to the existing proposals, heat insulation materials are added.

Then each set of bearings does not have to bear the friction of the whole section at all!

At this moment, Li Qi immediately raised his hand:

“Everyone, I have a suggestion.”

Following Li Qi’s utterance, all the experts at this moment looked over in amazement.

“Mr. Li looks like he has discovered something extraordinary?”

“Don’t make trouble, Mr. Li has said that he is not professional in this aspect.”

“But you forgot, the plan for the’Space Elevator’ was originally proposed by others.”

“Stop talking, let Mr. Li tell me what he discovered, maybe he will solve the current dilemma.”

“…”

At this moment, many experts hesitated, they all looked at Li Qi0 with hope in their eyes..

At this moment, after Li Qi took a deep breath, he immediately spoke out the image he had imagined in his mind with confidence:

“Everyone, there are 24 roller skating groups in the No. 2 plan, so can we operate in rotation?”

“Since the life of the pulley can only be 18,000 kilometers at most, then if two groups are used, wouldn’t it be 36,000 kilometers? If three groups are rotated, wouldn’t this problem be completely solved? What we need It’s just replacing the pulleys and bearings of the elevator. This method is the easiest.”

Rotation operation?

There was a hum.

As Li Qi made this suggestion, suddenly, the pupils in the eyes of each expert suddenly shrank.

Yes!

Damn it, dare to love that everyone just got into the horns!

As long as you can reach the target outside space, who said that the pulley and bearing must run the entire rope?

24 sets of roller skating, that is 24 sets of roller skating, don’t say more, as long as it can be divided into two groups, it is equivalent to half of the driving distance of each set of roller skating and bearings.

good idea.

This is indeed a good way.

At the same time that all the experts were suppressed by Li Qi’s ideas, Li Qi watched everyone fall into silence and couldn’t help but slowly asked:

“Experts, do you think my suggestion will work?”

Can it work?

That’s amazing!

At this moment, what do many experts have to say? Looking at Li Qi, a ‘layman’, many experts are eager to step forward and break Li Qi’s brain to see why he always wins by surprise.

Obviously every time Li Qi raises the problem is very simple, but it can always solve complex problems!

At this moment, even the experts in the simulation screen turned off the computer.

The idea of ​​traveling in groups is not even available for simulation pictures. All experts already have various ideas in their minds.

Immediately, in order to seize the time for the rope to go to the sky tomorrow, the experts at this moment unanimously agreed to Li Qi’s suggestion.

Su Mingyu flushed with excitement and slapped the design drawing directly:

“Okay, let’s do it, we will now start calculating the data of the wheel rotation, and get the best plan for group transportation as soon as possible.”

On the other side, Professor Ma, who was in charge of the materials, also spoke immediately:

“I will contact the research institute to send the finalized design, so that they can immediately prepare the tpu material for the pulley and the nickel-based superalloy for the bearing.”

“good.”

At this moment, when everyone had a headache, the material problem was solved by Li Qi with unexpected suggestions.

All experts are frantically busy at the moment for the ropes of tomorrow. .
