Chapter 262 Space Elevator
Xu Lei stared at Wu Chuping, wondering how the other party would react to his rejection, but unfortunately he was disappointed.

Wu Chuping still maintained a calm face, as if he had expected his answer long ago, with a smile on his lips: "I understand Academician Xu's concerns, and participating in this project will indeed take up a lot of your time, but the far-reaching strategy possessed by the Moon Base I think you are also very clear about the meaning, so please consider it carefully."

As early as on the way to Binjiang City, Wu Chuping first deduced various situations that would occur in his mind.

So naturally you know what to do.

Looking around the world today, who doesn't know that Xu Lei is an all-round scientist who has dabbled in knowledge in various fields, so how could he not understand aerospace-related technologies.

Saying this now is obviously an excuse deliberately found out.

It can only be said that Xu Lei's previous strength was too dazzling, which shaped this perception to the outside world.

Faced with this situation, Xu Lei was also very speechless, thinking that although he didn't know much about aerospace-related technical knowledge, he still had to be put on a high hat, and this person was also the general manager of the manned moon landing project of the space agency. command.

But the matter must be explained clearly, otherwise I will lose my face by dragging my feet.

"I think Commander Wu misunderstood me." Xu Lei pulled the muscles on his face uncontrollably, and quickly explained: "The manned moon landing project is indeed very important, but it's really not what I'm good at. field, so Commander Wu can only be disappointed."

"Academician Xu, you don't need to be too modest, I believe you are qualified for this job." Wu Chuping paused for a moment and chose to stick to his opinion.

Even Pei Hongyin next to him couldn't help persuading him from the sidelines at this time.

"I feel like I can give it a try. It is worthwhile to improve the progress of the manned moon landing project by one day."

Xu Lei never thought that no one would believe him when he told the truth. He wondered if this is what happens when he is too good. It is really annoying.

In fact, he could also see the sense of urgency from Wu Chuping, and knew how much they attached importance to this matter. At the same time, he didn't want overseas forces to take the lead in establishing bases on the moon.

What's more, there is Masin's Space Exploration Technology Company in it.

It's a pity that the actual situation is more than enough, but not enough. He now has a lot of knowledge in his mind, and maybe some of it can be used in aerospace-related matters, but it is far from enough to solve the fundamental problems facing the space agency.

Even with the help of star pupils and quantum computers, it will take a certain amount of time to perform simulation calculations.

But by that time, other people's astronauts may have already stepped on the surface of the moon, and it would be meaningless to lose the opportunity.

At this time, Xu Lei's brain was working quickly, and finally decided to express his attitude clearly.

This would also allow them to implement other plans earlier, so as not to waste time with him all the time.

Just when Xu Lei was about to speak, a special idea suddenly appeared in his mind, so that the words suddenly changed direction: "That...give me some time to think about it."

"Of course there is no problem." Wu Chuping was very excited: "Academician Xu can give me an answer before tonight."

Seeing Xu Lei suddenly let go, Wu Chuping immediately became excited. Although he has not officially decided to join the project, at least it shows that his judgment is not wrong, and Xu Lei has this ability.

Besides, being in charge of such a huge company, going to the imperial capital for a short period of time without any reason, really needs to discuss with other people.

After the two sides reached a consensus for the time being, Xu Lei asked Pei Hongyin to take Wu Chuping to the research center for a visit and study, and he himself returned to the office.

According to the current situation, his influence will soon reach 500 million to unlock new exhibits.

If you can make good use of this opportunity and successfully unlock aerospace-related technology exhibits, then the situation can be easily eased.

It was precisely because of this thought that Xu Lei didn't say anything to death at the last moment, and chose to let Wu Chuping wait for a while, so that even if the final result was unsatisfactory, it would not cause any bad effects.

……

"Hopefully this time it will work out."

In the office, Xu Lei murmured these words thoughtfully in his heart, and after finding a comfortable position to sit down, he resolutely controlled his consciousness again and entered the hall of the Science and Technology Museum.

As for Xingtong from the outside world, he only thought that Xu Lei had fallen into a deep sleep, so he didn't forget to come over and massage Xu Lei's head intimately.

It is not different from what Xu Lei expected. After such a long time, the influence has successfully reached 500 million points. When he came to the hall of the Science and Technology Museum, he could see a new booth blinking. Unlocking exhibits will be finalized.

With the experience of the previous two times, Xu Lei had nothing to hesitate, and immediately walked over.

After chatting with Wu Chuping and returning to the office, Xu Lei learned about the development level of all forces in the aerospace field from Xingtong.

He has a better understanding of the difficulties faced by the domestic aerospace industry.

Unlike transporting satellites to low-Earth orbit, manned landing on the moon is a huge project, not to mention the subsequent construction of bases on the moon.

This requires a heavy-duty launch vehicle with sufficient transport capacity.

Among them, the engine is the key.

So Xu Lei thought that he could unlock exhibits related to rocket technology this time, so that he could catch up with Beimei as soon as possible and realize the manned flight to the moon as soon as possible.

"Whether it succeeds or not depends on this time, but don't let me down."

At this moment, Xu Lei was standing in front of the softly shining booth, while muttering to himself, he slowly stretched out his right hand and touched the information screen next to him.

Same situation as last time.

Almost as soon as Xu Lei's palm touched the information screen, the whole booth immediately returned to calm, and the light stopped flickering.

Since most of the content on the information screen was still covered by his palm, Xu Lei subconsciously turned his attention to the booth under his normal reaction.

Fortunately.

There was no scene at the booth where I could not see anything before.

As far as the eye can see, there is a majestic and shocking near-earth space port. The slowly moving down space station and super tall tower-like buildings jump into the eyeballs, and these devices are all connected by thick black cables.

It's like an elevator connecting heaven and earth.

That's right, the elevator.

It is certain that the exhibits unlocked this time have nothing to do with the rocket, but Xu Lei has already put this matter behind him.

The whole person stared blankly at the complex and huge project in front of him. Although it was reduced countless times on the booth, he could still imagine the magnificence of the real thing.

It can definitely be called a miracle created by human beings.

Compared with this exhibit, what Xu Lei created before seems to have lost its color, and there is no comparison with it.

"Is this thing really something that can be built now?"

However, Xu Lei was astonished. The most urgent task is to find out the details of this exhibit and see if it can solve the dilemma faced by the space agency.

Put down your palm and move your eyes to the information screen, and the familiar template data comes into view.

Name: Space Elevator

Level: Level [-] Civilization

Evaluation: The key equipment for civilization to enter deep space, it is by no means taken for granted.

Influence: 0/5000000
Collection unit: Science and Technology Museum of Cosmic Civilization

In fact, after seeing the exhibits with strong visual impact on the booth, Xu Lei had already guessed something in his heart, but now that it was confirmed, he didn't know what to say for a while.

The concept of a space elevator has been proposed a long time ago, but many scientists believe that it is simply unrealistic to build an elevator with a running altitude of 3.6 kilometers. In addition to various technical difficulties, the most important cable cannot be made. .

Because the cable material that can withstand a space elevator simply does not exist.

Today, apart from the Neon state-owned company engaged in the research of space elevators, the international community still focuses on launch vehicles and spaceships.

Xu Lei's original plan was to unlock the heavy-duty launch vehicle technology capable of manned landing on the moon, but it was directly upgraded to a space elevator.

Although there is a space elevator, whether it is much easier to land on the moon, build a base or even go to Mars, facing such a huge project, it is still a question of whether it can really be built.

The only thing that makes Xu Lei feel relieved is that the level of the space elevator belongs to the first-level civilization.

So he is still a little sure.

Otherwise, if you switch to the technology of the second-level civilization, you can only watch it.

In addition, the space elevator needs 500 million influence to unlock new exhibits, which makes Xu Lei somewhat unacceptable.

If the influence of nanomedical robots is set at 500 million, there are at least enough cancer patients. As long as the supply of nanomedical robots is guaranteed, it will grow to 500 million sooner or later as time goes by.

But the space elevator is completely different.

After all, this thing is not a mass commercial thing at all. Even if we can sell tickets for everyone to experience space travel in the future, we don’t know that it will be enough in the year of the monkey.

In short, Xu Lei doesn't need to think about new exhibits in a short time.

Since he was asked to unlock something like a space elevator this time, the most urgent task is to first determine the feasibility of the space elevator and transfer the various core technical knowledge involved into his mind.

Moreover, building a space elevator with the power of future technology alone may still be a bit stretched, and it will definitely need the strong support of the space agency and above.

This made Xu Lei have to think about how to talk to Wu Chuping about this matter.

After all, the other party came to Binjiang City from the imperial capital to invite him to join the research on the manned moon landing project, but now they are asked to stop the research on heavy-duty launch vehicles and rebuild the space elevator. change.

The thought stayed here, Xu Lei didn't bother to say anything, and immediately clicked on the note in the lower right corner of the information screen.

As the massive amount of information came into view, Xu Lei immediately entered the state of knowledge transmission, and carefully checked the relevant technical knowledge above.
