Chapter 268 The First Moon Landing After Decades
"According to the latest statistics, the number of people watching the live broadcast by users at home and abroad has exceeded [-] million that day, setting the highest number in the history of live broadcast."

"Now there are many video sites wanting to buy the right to broadcast the live broadcast of the space elevator."

Binjiang City.

Longhu Hi-Tech Park.

Listening to Chen Shihe's report in the office, Xu Lei nodded in satisfaction and replied, "Originally, we also planned to open the live broadcast on all platforms. Since they proposed it on their own initiative, let's send someone to contact them."

"However, there is one thing to keep in mind. There is no shortage of expenses. Who told us that we need money right now." The voice just finished, and then he did not forget to ask.

The first day of the live broadcast is basically a trial broadcast.

Only through future technology-related technical products can you directly enter the live broadcast room.

But in this case, the number of viewers can exceed [-] million, which really proves that many people have no resistance to this kind of super project.

Especially mostly boys.

Many people even hung up directly in the live broadcast room, and the online time was equivalent to the live broadcast time.

If it can persist for a few months and a year, it is estimated that a new world record will be born.

In addition, this live broadcast alone has increased Xu Lei's influence by hundreds of thousands. In this case, it is enough to be sure that he can use the method of publicity to gain influence.

In this way, we must open up the whole network live broadcast, so that more people can see this live broadcast.

As for domestic video platforms such as Penguin, they are even more not fools. Seeing the live broadcast of space elevators can bring so much heat, it is like a cat smelling fish, how could it be indifferent.

It is quite normal to choose to discuss broadcasting rights.

The key point is that this is different from the traditional live broadcast of events. It will take at least nine months before the space elevator is completed, so it can guarantee the stability of the entire live broadcast.

There will be no emergencies, and the live broadcast will be suspended.

The value of the active user group brought by the platform is immeasurable.

Xu Lei has no psychological burden at all to get some cash from these companies. Although the construction of space elevators is not short of future technology, as a project of deep strategic significance, domestic companies should also provide some money to support it.

It can be expected that when the live broadcast room is launched on major video platforms, the number of viewers flocking to the live broadcast room will increase, and the influence will inevitably show a new round of upward trend.

If Xu Lei was still worried about whether this way of gaining influence was feasible before, then now he is completely confident.

Even if the subsequent growth rate may decline, a lot can still be accumulated in a year.

What's more, the day when the space elevator is officially in operation will be the most influential time.

Facing Xu Lei's arrangement, Chen Shihe naturally did not have any objections, and responded promptly.

"It's Mr. Xu, I will tell them."

After saying this respectfully, he turned around and walked outside, without staying too long in the office.

Until Chen Shihe's figure disappeared from sight, Xu Lei turned his gaze to Xingtong next to him, and asked, "Is there any action from the overseas side?"

Future Technology is live broadcasting 24 hours a day around the world, and Dengtian Island has created such a big battle just after it was built, no matter how stupid the overseas side is, they will doubt it to some extent.

Began to believe that future technology can create a space elevator.

In this way, in order to ensure their own leadership in the aviation field, they must take corresponding measures.

All Xu Lei could think of was to launch an attack on Dengtian Island.

But with Xingtong around, it will become a very simple matter to grasp their specific movements, and they can take countermeasures in advance at any time.

At that time, Xu Lei doesn't mind making a big one.

It's just that Xingtong's answer immediately caught him a little by surprise.

"Not found yet."

"Their energy is still on the launch mission."

After Xingtong responded quickly, he added again: "Boss, do you need me to conduct a detailed scan and investigation?"

Things happened just as Masen expected. After Hayden talked with him and returned to Washington State to report to the general, Tripp really chose to take another gamble.

Just bet that the space elevator cable developed by future technology cannot support the operation of the elevator.

So in the end no plans were made.

At the same time, he also secretly prepared another set of implementation plans. If the space elevator really becomes a reality, he will find a way to propose the formation of a human space alliance, and all members of the alliance can use the space elevator to conduct space research and experiment missions.

But I have to say that Tripp made the right choice. If they really hit the space elevator project of Future Technology, they will definitely suffer in the end.

Unless it chooses to launch a nuclear bomb and let the world go to destruction.

After hearing Xingtong's proposal, Xu Lei quickly raised his hand and said, "That's unnecessary, it seems that the other party is expecting us to fail."

"That's fine, then give them a surprise." After speaking, Xu Lei couldn't help but whispered: "I hope they won't be frightened."

In the following time, Xu Lei was also not idle.

After finishing the live broadcast, he took Xingtong to the research center laboratory.

He has handed over the construction and tower design drawings of Dengtian Island to Liu Gaowen, and there are a large number of experts in related fields gathered there, so there will be no problem in completing the ground station.

After all, he still trusts Liu Gaowen.

Besides, on the side of the space agency, according to the information provided by Wu Chuping, they have already started the assembly of the cornerstone module of the space port.

Later, it will be launched into space by a carrier rocket and reach the designated low-Earth orbit.

It can be said that no matter whether it is above or below, the main construction has been on the right track, only the most critical cable in the middle has not made any progress, and even the required carbon nanotube materials have not been synthesized, let alone produced a length of [-]. kilometers of cables.

Under such circumstances, Xu Lei had to take action to speed up the research progress on cables.

……

"Dean, you are here."

In the material laboratory of the research center, Gu Sanlin, who was busy, stopped his work temporarily when he saw Xu Lei coming, and greeted Xu Lei with anticipation.

"Are we going to conduct research experiments on cable materials?"

In the past few days, Gu Sanlin was busy with the materials needed for the tower, but he was always thinking about the research and development of the cables.

As a top expert in the field of materials, I am undoubtedly very excited about developing a material that can be used as a space elevator cable.

Because this is the best proof of one's own strength.

of course.

If Gu Sanlin were to complete this project by himself, the result would be a failure.

Gu Sanlin is also aware of this point.

But with Xu Lei personally leading the team to participate, the situation will be completely different.

Gu Sanlin believes that Xu Lei can develop this kind of cable material, so that he can learn some deeper knowledge in the process.

Now that the tower is basically stable, the purpose of Xu Lei's coming here at this time can be said to be self-evident, it must be related to the cable, so how could Gu Sanlin not be excited.

Xu Lei naturally understood Gu Sanlin's mood at this time, so he didn't deliberately hide anything at this time, and he nodded and admitted: "You guessed it right, the ground station and the space port are currently under construction. It is indeed necessary to increase the progress of the cable.”

"Great."

"I can't wait to see this special material come out."

Confirmed by Xu Lei, Gu Sanlin uttered this sentence out of control.

He didn't hide the excitement on his face.

Then I saw him walking quickly to a piece of equipment, calling out the contents and saying, "Look at these, Dean, I have selected dozens of carbon nanotube synthesis schemes in the past few days, and we can prepare them one by one. Carry out synthetic experiments."

After listening to Gu Sanlin's words, Xu Lei moved his eyes to the light curtain that appeared in front of him, and his eyes suddenly showed surprise.

Among the synthetic schemes that Gu Sanlin chose, including single-walled nanotubes, double-walled nanotubes, and metal and non-metal nanotubes, it can be said that the types are very diverse and detailed.

It can be seen that he has really put a lot of effort into this aspect.

Even Xu Lei felt that even without the technical knowledge he got from the Science and Technology Museum, Gu Sanlin might be able to develop cable materials that could be used in space elevators with his own talent and ability.

However, due to the difference between the technical knowledge in the mind and the real world level.

If Xu Lei wants to find out the cable material that can be perfectly used in the space elevator, he needs to conduct experiments first, make corresponding materials according to these synthesis schemes, and then test its various properties to choose the perfect synthesis scheme.

Although there are still many omissions in these alternative plans selected by Gu Sanlin, they also include most of them.

But it is obvious that this method will take a lot of time, and the cost of trial and error will be relatively large.

If this material cannot be researched and passed various tests within the expected time, it will definitely affect the normal main body formation of the space elevator.

At that time, both the ground station and the space port will be completed, only the cables will not be in place, and the function of the space elevator will still not be realized.

At the same time, the outside world's recognition of the strength of future technology will also be greatly reduced.

Maybe according to the current influence growth method, the influence will stop moving.

And this kind of situation is definitely what Xu Lei does not want to see.

Besides, the manufacture of cables as long as [-] kilometers is also a very large workload, and it will definitely take a lot of time.

Although Xu Lei and the others had to face many problems right now, Xu Lei didn't show the slightest worry on his face, because at this time, the role of Xingtong and quantum computer was well reflected.

"Star pupil."

"Carry out simulation calculations on these synthetic schemes, and eliminate the schemes that do not meet the strength."

Xu Lei's purpose is very clear. Before formally conducting experiments on the material synthesis scheme, let Xingtong remove the schemes that do not meet the requirements, so their workload will be much smaller.

And Xingtong is fully capable of doing this.

Facing the orders of his own boss, Xingtong would not have any doubts or rejections, and immediately started the calculation and simulation of these synthesis plans in the next second.

However, due to the large amount of information involved, it will take a certain amount of time to get the final result.

Gu Sanlin also understands Xingtong's ability, so he is patient at this time, waiting for Xingtong's results while sorting out relevant information.

It has to be said that the quantum computer plus Xingtong is simply unbelievable in efficiency. In Xu Lei's perception, it seems that not too long before Xingtong's voice rang in his ears.

"Boss, the calculation simulation has been completed, and there are five most suitable synthesis schemes left."

"Are there five more?" Xu Lei turned his gaze to the virtual screen projected by Xingpu after hearing the sound, and muttered thoughtfully: "It's within the acceptable range, at least it saves a lot of time."

Through its own simulation calculations, Xingtong finally retained only the five most likely synthesis schemes, which is equivalent to denying most of them.

The time savings are not trivial.

Next, they only need to dig deep into these five solutions to synthesize the required materials.

As long as the final material can pass various tests, it can be used as a space elevator cable.

Compared to Xu Lei who was still calm, Gu Sanlin was more excited, almost the entire laboratory could hear his voice of surprise.

"It's really great, so many synthetic solutions have been ruled out."

"This will definitely lead to the development of special carbon nanotube materials that can be used as cables within the expected time."

Carefully flipping through the remaining five synthesis schemes, he did not hide the joy on his face.

Xu Lei knew that these performances of Gu Sanlin were from the bottom of his heart. He sincerely hoped to develop a special material that could be used as a space elevator cable. Now that he had the hope of achieving his goal, he felt a little excited. Excuse me.

At the same time, Xu Lei also understands that although Xingtong's simulation and calculation have successfully eliminated many synthesis schemes that do not meet the requirements.

In the end, only these five remained.

But this does not mean that the study of materials is no longer difficult.

After all, the five synthesis schemes in their hands are just theoretical data, and how to synthesize them is what they need to consider most at the moment.

You must know that carbon nanotubes are not a new term created by future technology companies. Some companies at home and abroad are also conducting research on carbon nanotube materials, but because they can't find an effective synthesis method, this has not caused much controversy in the market. waves.

So next they must find out the synthesis method of these five materials through various experimental researches.

Although Xu Lei relied on the technical knowledge in his mind and believed that he could complete this challenge, considering the time and efficiency issues, he still felt that it was necessary to properly mention Gu Sanlin so that he could return to his original state as soon as possible.

"let us start."

"The follow-up work is also a big challenge for us."

After being reminded by Xu Lei, Gu Sanlin immediately came to his senses and realized his gaffe just now.

So he immediately put away his expression and said solemnly: "It's the dean, I'm ready."

that's it.

For many days after that, Xu Lei spent most of his time in the materials laboratory of the research center, synthesizing carbon nanotube materials with Gu Sanlin and others, and conducting very complicated and detailed tests.

It is also worth mentioning that considering the status and division of labor between Xingtong and Chen Shihe.

In the end, Xu Lei asked Chen Shihe to take charge of the company temporarily, leaving Xingtong in the laboratory to help.

Anyway, everything is on track.

……

Time flies like a flash, and a few months have passed in a short time.

Because it was the critical moment of the space elevator project, during the Spring Festival, everyone in the basic project, including Xu Leiyou, chose to stay at their jobs.

And they are all self-initiated.

Naturally, Xu Lei did not reject everyone's proposal. Apart from staying with everyone in the laboratory on New Year's Eve, he also promised to give everyone a long vacation after the completion of the space elevator. In addition, the bonus is also very generous, which naturally makes everyone very motivated. .

Unfortunately, although they successfully synthesized two materials during this period, they failed the test in the end.

The performance of the material is the highest once. Although it can withstand the force generated when the space elevator is running, it loses its original properties and becomes very fragile after two or three times.

This kind of test result definitely cannot be used on a space elevator.

For this reason, Xu Lei and the others had no choice but to place their hopes on several other materials, and carried out more serious synthesis research on them.

With the joint efforts of so many heavy-duty dredgers and engineering transport ships on Dengtian Island, the location of the ground station in the center has begun to take shape, like a natural island firmly occupying the sea.

At the same time, the tower of the ground station is constantly increasing, and it is about to become the world's first tall tower.

Let's talk about the space agency.

In a few months, relying on the design drawings transmitted by Xu Lei, Wu Chuping led the team to successfully complete the first cornerstone module of the space port.

It will be launched into space by a carrier rocket and delivered to a designated location in low-Earth orbit in advance.

The first success undoubtedly brought great confidence to everyone, and they are confident in building a near-Earth spaceport that meets their needs.

Mainly, their cornerstone module has been successfully tested, and the follow-up only needs to be mass-produced and launched into the air to complete the docking, which is nothing more than increasing the frequency of rocket launches.

In fact, according to the original regulations of the space agency, in order to ensure the absolute success of the project, they will have backup rockets and the same equipment when performing launch missions, so as to ensure that the backup rockets are launched in time to save them when problems arise.

However, in order to ensure that the spaceport can be built as expected, under the decision of the space agency, the backup rocket equipment was directly cancelled.

Change to all put into use to launch the cornerstone module of the space port.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of high-frequency rocket launch behavior will definitely attract the attention of domestic netizens, especially the launch mission is still related to future technology, and it is necessary to build its own localized near-Earth space port.

But in fact, the number of people who paid attention this time was not many, and it didn't even arouse much enthusiasm.

Blame the cause.

In addition to the live broadcast of the construction of Dengtian Island, which was broadcast live all day long, which took away a part of the traffic, it was mainly because Beimei's space shuttle was finally about to perform a launch mission to transport several astronauts to the moon.

-

Wednesday, October 2026, 4.

Dali Rover Island.

La Horn Space Force Base.

At this time, on the launch pad in the center of the launch site, a heavy launch vehicle can be seen standing here.

In the general launch control center, Hayden, who is the head of the space agency, and Ma Sien, the chairman of the Space Exploration Technology Corporation, both stood here and stared at the screen in front of them with solemn expressions.

Today is the day that rockets are launched to send astronauts to the moon.

At the same time, there are many eyes on them.

After decades of returning to the moon, it is still unknown whether this mission can be successfully completed.

But it is certain that they must not fail this time.

Otherwise, in addition to telling the outside world that their aviation technology has regressed, it will also affect the subsequent construction of super-large laser weapons on the moon base.

Because of this moon landing, the astronauts also need to complete the monitoring of the lunar underground resources and determine the location of the lunar base, which is a special mission.

"Don't worry, Mr. Hayden, the astronauts have successfully entered the spaceship and will be ignited and lifted off soon. Let's wait for the whole world to cheer for this moon landing."

Perhaps to ease the atmosphere, after seeing Hayden's serious expression, Ma Sien stepped forward and said these few words.

They were able to land on the moon decades ago, and now the level of various technologies is improving rapidly, plus the cooperation between the government and technology companies, no matter how you look at it, there is no possibility of failure.

"I hope everything goes well. The general is paying attention to us." Hayden said with emotion after hearing Ma Sien's words: "We can't let the future technology look like a joke."

Soon.

As the scheduled time arrives, after the exciting countdown reading, Hayden finally gives the command to ignite.

"ignition!"

When the huge roar from the rocket engine sounded, the towering heavy launch vehicle slowly rose into the sky, stabbing into space like an unstoppable sharp sword.

After a period of flight, the rocket disengages from the spaceship on which the astronauts are riding, enters a predetermined orbit, and adjusts its attitude to the moon.

According to the speed of the spacecraft, it will take about four days for the lunar module to reach the moon.

At that time, the astronauts will step on the lunar soil again.

And when the rocket is successfully launched and the spacecraft enters the predetermined orbit, the external network will undoubtedly be very lively during this period.

In the past, when the products of future technology were popular all over the world, they could only watch helplessly in the face of domestic netizens showing off. Now that they have landed on the moon again, they will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity to earn face for themselves.

So they made a lot of noise about the moon landing on overseas platforms, and they also deliberately stepped on the space elevator of future technology, vowing that the space elevator would not be successful.

Although domestic netizens also want to witness humans landing on the moon, after seeing their own projects being so bullied, they definitely have no reason to be familiar with it.

After the news was sent back to the intranet, it immediately aroused the indignation of a large number of netizens, who chose to go over the wall to respond to it.

At the same time, this battle between netizens at home and abroad is also the one with the largest number of participants, and its excitement almost catches up with the moon landing.

Just click on a related content at will, and you can see all kinds of mutual comments in the comment area.

"We are really great. After decades, we are going to land on the moon again. For such a long time, there is not even a single opponent we can fight."

"Other forces simply don't have the ability to go to the moon."

"It seems that the resources of the moon are going to be taken up by us."

"Let us laugh now, and when we cry in a few months, when our space elevator is completed, going to the moon will be as easy as going home."

"Joke, the traditional launch vehicle is also equipped with a space elevator."

"If the space elevator wants to keep running for a long time, it is impossible to develop the cables needed. You should recognize the reality as soon as possible."
