Infrastructure: Start to Repair The Elevator in Mount Everest

Chapter 298

At the same time, in the design institute.

At this moment, Li Qi is working with Director Li to observe the experiment of material shaping by experts in the laboratory.

With the bearings and pulleys made according to the established materials in place, at this moment, everyone’s hearts are full of anxiety.

At this moment, Li Qi put on his sunglasses and heard Su Mingyu’s “Start”.

Immediately, when the power began to output, the bearings and pulleys in the laboratory immediately rotated at high speed.

At this moment, Li Qi heard the conversation between the expert and Su Mingyu constantly in her ears:

“The bearing temperature is 700 degrees!”

“The speed has increased, and the temperature is 780 degrees!”

“Experiment 16 is currently traveling 5,000 kilometers, and the temperature has increased and overloaded, and it is now close to 1,000 degrees.”

“Alarm, the bearing is beginning to melt.”

“…”

With the sound of an alarm, Li Qi at this moment has also discovered that the situation in the laboratory has suddenly changed.

As the speed speeded up, the eyes of the bearing continued to turn red. Slowly, even when Li Qi was wearing sunglasses, he gradually couldn’t see the outline of the bearing.

Not only that, as the temperature increased drastically, the bearing not only began to turn red, but also directly began to emit thick smoke.

Seeing such a situation, Li Qi immediately felt bad.

The experts who were operating on the side also hurriedly pressed the overloaded red button.

With the sound of ‘click’, the bearing that was originally rotating violently decelerated slowly.

But at this moment, bursts of black smoke have filled the laboratory.

When he took off his glasses, Li Qi saw the smug experts shaking their heads.

This experiment failed again.

Seeing everyone frustrated, Li Qi couldn’t help but sigh:

But even so, Su Mingyu still did not give up.

“Report the data just now first.”

Following Su Mingyu’s words, the expert who has been monitoring helplessly shook his head:

“The measured driving distance has reached 8,000 kilometers, and the maximum temperature is 1,200 degrees.”

“The reason for the collapse is still because the nickel-based alloy material of the bearing cannot withstand high temperatures for a long time…”

After speaking, the reporting expert paused, with helpless eyes in his eyes and said:

“This is by far the best result of nickel-based alloys.”

“…”

Listening to the report, the result is only 8,000 kilometers, and the worries in the eyes of a group of experts are undoubtedly deeper.

This is far from it!

Even if it adopts a segmented structure, at least nickel-based alloy bearings have to withstand the second cosmic speed, at least 12,000 kilometers.

As the saying goes, you can’t use it, but you can’t live without it.

At this moment, seeing the time to launch tomorrow is getting closer, Su Mingyu took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said:

“Continue, according to the plan, continue to try the test products of different proportions of the bearing. Hurry up and finish the experiment, if it is not possible…”

“We will redistribute the segment plan. Since the bearings cannot carry the load, we will install a few more bearings.”

“Although it may affect the stability of the car, we can no longer delay time on this issue.”

After speaking, Su Mingyu looked back at the discouraged people, and said in a serious tone:

“Using bearings and pulleys to send a car into space tens of thousands of kilometers away, there is no precedent for this.”

“You have also seen that there is still a big difference between simulated experimental data and actual data.”

“In order to be safe and to ensure the 100% success of launching the rope tomorrow, we can only use this stupid method to try different alloy ratios one by one!”

“continue!”

“This time it is a nickel-based alloy with chromium and molybdenum added!”

“…”

At this moment, another experiment began.

At the side Li Qi, under Director Li’s eyes, both of them quietly came to the outside of the laboratory.

As they both lighted a cigarette, Li Qi looked at the night outside the window and couldn’t help shaking his head as he blew out smoke:

“Unexpectedly, the improvement plan was determined for the rubber material, and the bearing material was unexpectedly difficult to this point.”

At this time, Director Li also sighed:

“Ugh……”

“Originally, after confirming the material of the bearing, seeing that it went so smoothly step by step, we first discussed the specifications and sizes, then improved the samples, and finally made the final version and started to use alloys…”

“Unexpectedly, now it’s stuck in the first step. The nickel-based alloy has never been able to achieve the best effect of simulation because of the slight change in composition… Now, it’s troublesome.”

“…”

While the two sighed and sighed, Li Qi turned on the phone with Li Qi.

At this time, celebrations from all over the country, congratulations from all over the world, and all Chinese people eagerly urged the launch of tomorrow to be successful.

At this moment, seeing these images flooding the news one after another, the brows of Li Qi and Director Li couldn’t help but frown deeper.

Looking at everyone’s expectations, the two of them are undoubtedly feeling the pressure on their shoulders.

After the silence, Director Li suddenly spoke at this moment:

“Mr. Li, what time is it now?”

“At 22 o’clock, we are only 17 hours away from tomorrow’s launch time.”

When Li Qi answered Director Li at this moment, his eyes were already full of scarlet blood.

Now Li Qi, he is more anxious than anyone.

And just as Li Qi and Director Li looked at each other speechlessly, looking at each other.

Suddenly, in the laboratory behind the protective door, there was a burst of hustle and bustle.

Listening to the cheers, Li Qi and Director Li’s lowered heads suddenly lifted up.

“Mr. Li!”

“Director Li!”

After exclaiming each other and looking at each other, they both saw a touch of ecstasy in each other’s eyes at the same time.

Immediately, the two tossed their cigarette butts, and immediately rushed into the laboratory like crazy.

As soon as they opened the door, the two heard a group of experts shouting excitedly:

“Found it, finally found it!”

“We finally used this stupid method to experiment with the ratio of nickel-based alloys that can withstand high temperatures.”

“Attention everyone, the hub and pulley will immediately proceed to the next prototype production.”

“Production, immediately produce the first batch of prototypes, soon, we have wasted a lot of time!”.
