Chapter 270 Start main body splicing【Please subscribe monthly pass】

With the successful advent of cable materials, in order to complete the composite production of [-] kilometers of cables within the scheduled time, to cooperate with the space agency and the ground station to splice the main body of the space elevator, it can be said that future technology has used all resource.

Even production lines for products such as smart medical cabins and nanomedical robots have temporarily reduced production capacity.

Use the main force on cable making.

Even Xu Lei took Xingtong to personally control it to ensure that every piece of cable was of high quality and resolutely free from any flaws.

Because for a super project like a space elevator, as the most important cable, even a slight flaw may lead to serious consequences.

Absolutely not to be sloppy.

Fortunately, the production process of the cable is still satisfactory.

According to the current speed, it is enough to synthesize enough cables within the predetermined time.

In addition, during this time period, the space agency experienced the first successful launch of the cornerstone module of the near-Earth space port, which greatly increased their confidence and accumulated experience, so that they began to launch launch vehicles in batches in the next time.

The prototype of the near-Earth space port has gradually been improved and expanded.

It is worth mentioning that in the past, every time the space agency had a launch mission, the main station and the People's Daily of Huaxin News Agency would report on it.

But this time, because the launch missions were too frequent, I missed a lot in the middle.

But this also makes the public unable to help but worry about whether the near-Earth spaceport can be built. After all, every rocket launch is equivalent to spending a lot of money!
If the success falls short in the end, who will bear the loss?

It’s just that on the Internet, the space agency and future technology have never made any response.

Such a situation should prove the sentence, that is, you say yours and I will do mine, and the two parties will not interfere with each other.

In fact, there is no way for the situation to evolve into this way. Whoever made the super project of the space elevator is about to usher in the most important splicing procedure, which is related to the success of the space elevator. At this critical moment, naturally there is no time to discuss the outside world. remarks.

Anyway, when the space elevator test runs successfully, people will only use up all their vocabulary to sing praises for the greatness of this project.

at the same time.

Overseas, it was relatively calm.

North Magnesium's space agency and Masne's Space Exploration Technology Company did not make any moves, which belonged to the attitude of letting the construction of space elevators go.

The department only cares about its own lunar base construction plan.

Obviously, he didn't take the space elevator seriously, thinking that there would definitely be an accident in the end.

that's it.

When the time came to the end of September.

With the joint efforts of all members of the space agency, a near-Earth space port that is more magnificent than the Tiangong space station has finally taken shape. Cooperating with the Tiangong space station to become the main body of the space elevator has no problem.

Coupled with the approach of the previously estimated time, the space elevator is finally approaching the time for the main body splicing.

Friday, November 2026, 9.

Moon Festival.

It's the traditional festival, which should be the time for family reunion in the whole country, but there is a frigate driving fast on a certain sea area in the south.

"Academician Xu, in addition to the near-Earth spaceport that can meet the counterweight requirements of the space elevator, our new generation of Shenzhou spacecraft and the Yutu lunar module have also been built, and now we are waiting for the space elevator to successfully implement the moon landing plan. "On the deck, Wu Chuping clasped the guardrail on the ship with both hands and looked at the waves of the ocean, but his voice was speaking to Xu Lei next to him: "Speaking of which, it is thanks to the design drawings provided by you, Academician Xu, otherwise it would not be possible to complete the project in such a short period of time." Complete the replacement."

"My blueprints are nothing. Only you can complete the near-Earth spaceport in less than a year." Xu Lei turned his head and praised sincerely.

He was right.

Although the construction of the near-Earth spaceport is inseparable from the design drawings, if it is not for the strong efforts of the space agency, it will not be completed in a short time.

This shows that they really believe that the space elevator can be realized.

Otherwise, it will never pay to this extent.

After all, this is equivalent to betting on the future and destiny of the development of the domestic aerospace industry.

So Xu Lei didn't take all the credit for himself in this matter, but affirmed Wu Chuping's efforts.

However, the two did not talk too much about this matter, and soon Wu Chuping took the initiative to change the topic to the cable, and asked: "By the way, academician Xu, how to splice the cable?"

The space agency has successfully completed the construction of the near-Earth spaceport and the lunar module of the spacecraft. Future technology is also not vegetarian.

Under the 24-hour synthetic production in three shifts, a [-]-kilometer cable was completed as early as last week.

Because all the main parts of the space elevator have been produced, the next step is the main body splicing link that attracts everyone's attention. At this time, Xu Lei will definitely not be able to continue to stay in Binjiang City safely.

There is no reason not to be present in the face of such a human feat.

So Xu Lei and Wu Chuping led a team to take a warship to the ground station of Dengtian Island, where they witnessed the official operation of the space elevator and personally directed the main body splicing work.

And what Wu Chuping asked was the most important and dangerous part of the whole splicing process.

If there is a problem, it will still lead to the failure of the entire project.

The ground station and the near-Earth spaceport are far apart, and a [-]-kilometer cable connection is needed in the middle, but how to connect becomes the problem.

If someone else is in charge of this work, then maybe a seminar needs to be held to discuss a safe and reliable splicing plan, but when the plan is officially released, I am afraid that I don’t know how long it has passed.

Definitely takes longer than expected.

But for Xu Lei, relying on the technical knowledge stored in his mind, it is not a problem to solve this matter.

At this time, Xu Lei naturally wouldn't hide anything from Wu Chuping, and directly spoke out his splicing plan in the next second.

"As far as the current situation is concerned, it is most appropriate to split the cable into multiple pieces and use a rocket to transport it to a synchronous orbit. At that time, the cable hangs from the base of the near-Earth spaceport and connects to the Tiangong space station, where the cable's One section is fixed and dampers and other related supporting equipment are installed, and then the next section is continued to hang down according to the gourd drawing, and connected in turn until it is fixed on the tower of the ground station."

"This plan is indeed relatively safe and highly feasible." Wu Chuping nodded with deep satisfaction, and had no other objections.

Based on the current situation, this is indeed the most suitable installation method.

As long as the cables are connected to the ground station, the space station and the near-Earth space port, it can be equipped with a car jointly built by Future Technology and the space agency.

Considering the subsequent construction of the lunar base, as well as the transportation of resources on the moon and the near-moon spaceport plan, the interior volume of the car is spacious enough. In addition to connecting with carbon nanotubes, it also carries rocket propulsion and safe landing devices.

In this way, it is ensured that the personnel and materials in the car will not be affected when the cable breaks accidentally.

But at this time Xu Lei noticed that Wu Chuping's face was a little weird, as if he had something to say in his heart, but he was too embarrassed to say it.

Xu Lei was quite curious about Wu Chuping's performance like this, after all, it was not like his usual personality.

Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate at all, and asked straight to the point: "Does Commander Wu have any questions, here are the two of us who want to ask, so just ask?"

"I'm just worried about whether the [-]-kilometer-long carbon nanotube cable can pass the tensile test." Wu Chuping just expressed his inner entanglement, and soon seemed to think of something, and quickly added: "Of course I'm not questioning the future. The research of science and technology on cable materials."

When Xu Lei heard that Wu Chuping was worried about this, a calm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He naturally understood that Wu Chuping's starting point was good, and he didn't want to see accidents in the splicing work of the space elevator.

But he was responsible for the synthesis of the cable anyway, so it can be said that he has full confidence in its quality. Even if the equipment in the test room cannot reach the pulling force of a space elevator, it will never break.

"Don't worry, the success of the space elevator is inevitable, just wait for us to make a global sensation." Xu Lei patted Wu Chuping on the shoulder, his words were full of confidence.

Perhaps infected by this kind of self-confidence, Wu Chuping soon stopped worrying about this matter.

Anyway, the cable has been made, and it will definitely be used on the space elevator, so no matter how much it is feared, it will happen.

Immediately afterwards, when the two of them could not bear the sea breeze and were about to return to the cabin, they saw Cheng Fei and Xingtong coming out, pointing to the front and reminding: "Boss, we are about to enter the sea area of ​​Dengtian Island.

Xu Lei heard the sound and looked from a distance, and he noticed that an island appeared in his field of vision.

In particular, the soaring tower above the sky is even more unstoppable, it is like a long spear that is about to pierce the sky.

In the sea area with a closer view, you can see a large number of warships, and even nuclear-powered aircraft carriers that have just launched into service for a short time.

At the beginning of the construction of Dengtian Island, there was an aircraft carrier fleet patrolling the surrounding waters to ensure the smooth progress of the construction of the ground station. Now the space elevator is about to usher in the final splicing work. The safety protection work must be stricter to avoid accidents at this time. Xiaoxiao's generation took the opportunity to sneak attack on Dengtian Island.

Also, this time from Binjiang City to Dengtian Island, Xu Lei only brought Xingtong, Cheng Fei, Gu Sanlin and more than a dozen company security personnel, while the others stayed in the company to handle business.

It is no exaggeration to say that going to Tiandao now is much safer than Binjiang City, so you don't need to bring too many people here.

What's more, with Xingtong around, Xu Lei wouldn't worry about his safety if an emergency happened.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Dengtian Island in person. I usually watch the live broadcast at most." Wu Chuping's voice pulled Xu Lei back from his thoughts, and after noticing that the other party was looking at the location of the island expectantly, I couldn't help echoing: "It's such a special island, since you're here, you should take a good look around."

……

Since Xu Lei, Wu Chuping and the others were on a warship, they naturally passed the fleet outside Dengtian Island with ease.

As the overall outline of Dengtian Island gradually appeared in the field of vision, there were more and more figures on the deck, all watching with extremely shocking eyes.

Even Gu Sanlin's expression was a little dull.

After all, they have never been to Dengtian Island before, and they have been engaged in the cooperative manufacturing of cables, and they don’t even have time to watch the live broadcast. Now they suddenly face such a huge and magnificent artificial island, and their feelings can be imagined.

It is simply a miracle of uncanny craftsmanship.

"This island is really big. Who would have imagined that it was an endless ocean just a few months ago."

"Only our construction team can create such a miracle."

"Didn't you find that this island is still very beautiful? It feels like you won't feel anxious even if you live here for a long time."

"I can't wait to get up there."

"That towering building is the tower of the ground station. I heard that it has been certified by the Guinness Book of World Records, and it is the tallest building in the world."

On the deck, Xu Lei listened to the opinions of the people around him, and couldn't help but feel a little more proud in his heart.

Who let this Dengtian Island be designed by him?

Because of the existence of the space elevator, Dengtian Island will definitely become an important hub in the future, so its area is very large in the design, and it can only be said that a part of the center has just been completed.

If you wait a few years to come here, the shock value will be several times higher.

However, Liu Gaowen has already implemented greening on the island, which surprised Xu Lei. It can only be said that he is quite intentional.

After a while.

When Xu Lei, Wu Chuping, Gu Sanlin, Xingtong and the others got off the ship, almost as soon as they stepped on the ground of Dengtian Island, they saw several figures walking over quickly not far away.

The leader was Liu Gaowen.

"Mr. Xu, you are here. There is a car for transportation here." Dabu Meteor stopped in front of Xu Lei, and pointed to the car next to him while talking: "Let me take you to the ground station in the center of the island to guide the work first?"

Hearing the sound, Xu Lei glanced at the new energy sightseeing cars produced by his company, and immediately waved his hands and said, "Let's walk there, just to see the situation on the island. If you have something to report, you can talk while walking." Wan Ze turned his gaze to Wu Chuping, who was watching around, with a warm smile on his face: "I suggest that we walk over, Commander Wu should be fine, right?"

"It's good to walk, or you will miss the scenery along the way." Wu Chuping readily agreed.

It has been almost ten months from the construction of Dengtian Island to today. Although the ground station and towers have been completed, the entire area of ​​the island is still limited.

It is still necessary to continue to expand the island in the later stage.

So now the distance from the pier to the center of the island is not too far, and walking is no problem.

With Xu Lei speaking, other people will definitely not have any objections, and then a group of people went to the ground station in a mighty manner.

"According to the construction drawings drawn up by you, Mr. Xu, the ground station and tower of Dengtian Island have been completed. At present, the main task is to improve the facilities on the island and ensure the main splicing of the space elevator." On the way, Liu Gaowen carried out Xu Lei's arrangement very seriously. Report to him the work progress of Dengtian Island for so long.

Xu Lei already had great trust in Liu Gaowen, and now that he saw the situation on Tiantian Island with his own eyes, he was undoubtedly very satisfied.

Facing the other party's report at this moment, he did not hesitate to praise himself: "You have done a good job. It seems that I did not choose the wrong person when I asked you to be in charge of the Tiantian Island project."

"This is what I should do." Liu Gaowen quickly replied sincerely.

As a person in the field of construction engineering, being able to personally take charge of such a large key project and witness the birth of such an island in his own hands is such an opportunity that can be said to be rare.

Many people will not have this opportunity.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a gift because Xu Lei and others received this task. Liu Gaowen naturally respected and worshiped Xu Lei extremely.

After a few conversations, when everyone gradually approached the area of ​​the ground station in the center of the island, they immediately entered the scene in the live broadcast room.

A sharp-eyed audience recognized Xu Lei, and the enthusiasm of the entire live broadcast room was instantly ignited.

"Fuck!"

"Today's live broadcast is not in vain."

"It's Mr. Xu!"

"It's a great honor to be able to admire Mr. Xu's demeanor."

"Can't you all be more reserved, don't mess around with me, Uncle Xu."

……

As promised by Future Technology, since the construction of Dengtian Island, the live broadcast has not stopped for a moment, and has continued until now.

Although the popularity of the live broadcast room has dropped significantly later, everyone will come in on time to check in every day.

Of course, this has also increased Xu Lei's influence to 400 million, and it is not far away from meeting the requirements to unlock new exhibits, which Xu Lei has been looking forward to.

According to the original standard, the live broadcast will at least wait until the main body of the space elevator is spliced ​​and the first operation is successful.

During this period, I believe that there will be a few more big heats. By that time, even if the influence does not rise to 500 million, it must not be much worse.

It is also worth mentioning that at the beginning the live broadcast was carried out on a ship, and there were reporters borrowed from the main station to explain, but as the island gradually took shape, the live broadcast room was moved to the ground station in the center.

This is also for the convenience of the audience to pay attention to the main body splicing at that time.

Xu Lei is different from those company bosses who fly around the world in China. He spends most of his time in the Longfor High-Tech Park to research products, and rarely travels to other places. This makes it difficult for others to meet offline except for employees of future technology companies. To Xu Lei.

It's rarely even shown online.

In addition, Xu Lei has the president of future science and technology, the youngest academician, openly rejected the labels of the Nobel Prize and successfully conquered cancer, and the whole person is even more mysterious.

But often the more this is the case, the easier it is to arouse the audience's desire to explore.

So as the news of Xu Lei's appearance in the live broadcast quickly spread on the Internet, many people rushed to tell each other, and the number of viewers in the live broadcast room increased sharply in just a few tens of seconds.

If you enter the overseas live broadcast room at this time, you will find that the same situation over there.

The key point is that Xu Lei's identity is quite special. He suddenly appeared on Dengtian Island at this time. Even a fool can guess that there is a new development in the space elevator.

Under this inference, it is natural to think of subject splicing.

Soon related hot search topics topped the hot search lists on Weibo, Biz, and other major platforms.

A lot of netizens are discussing this matter.

"I suggest that brothers don't sleep these few days. According to my opinion, the big one is coming. I'm afraid the space elevator will officially start splicing the main body in these few days."

"I guess it's true. Letting a senior nerd like Mr. Xu move around must be such a big thing as the splicing and trial operation of the main body of the space elevator. I think we will go to the moon soon."

"Nimma, suddenly I feel so excited."

"Wait for Zongxiu Xu to operate, and use the space elevator to slap that guy overseas hard in the face."

"If I really want to go to the moon, I just want to be able to stream some videos. Just pictures are not enough."

"Don't be stupid, you might be so ugly when the time comes!"

"Where did you come from, little blackie, dare to start a group in our base camp, I think you are not familiar with the rice and boring."

Regardless of the hot topics on the Internet, with the passage of time, the attention of the audience in the live broadcast room has shifted from Xu Lei to Xingtong next to him. After all, beautiful women are always involuntarily attractive.

What's more, Xingtong's appearance can absolutely kill both men and women.

But it’s okay if you don’t look at it. After careful observation, a question mark appeared in everyone’s mind?
Xingtong was originally developed as an artificial intelligence developed by future technology, and a virtual image was announced, but now there are very similar real people appearing, everyone just feels that the brain is not enough.

what's the situation?
Virtual into reality?

After speculation, the barrage in the live broadcast room exploded again.

The refresh rate is even higher than when I saw Xu Lei just now.

"What did I see, isn't that the artificial intelligence star pupil of future technology?"

"Could it be that Xingtong's image was designed according to this beauty?"

"so beautiful."

"Xingtong's avatar came out very early, but this person has never been seen before."

"I've seen Mr. Xu's assistant, it's definitely not the one in the studio."

"Could it be Mr. Xu's girlfriend?"

"Don't talk nonsense here, Mr. Xu has already dedicated his body to the scientific community, how could he be seduced by women."

"Look carefully at her movements, why do I feel like this is a robot..."

Xingtong looks absolutely the same as a real person on the outside, but the difference can still be found in some subtle movements, so when someone made this bold guess, the male audience in the live broadcast room instantly boiled.

Just ask who would not want to have a robot girlfriend who is no different from a real person!

It's just that Xu Lei didn't think much about these things. He and Wu Chuping didn't stay at the ground station for long, and entered the underground control center under the leadership of Liu Gaowen.

The control center on the moon landing island will dispatch the operation of the space elevator and deal with emergencies, which is not very different from the command and control center in the space agency.

The key point is that the control center is about to usher in its first task, which is to cooperate with the synchronous orbital space station in the cable splicing work. Since Xu Lei is in charge of this task, he must first familiarize himself with the interior of the control center.

that's it.

Xu Lei, Wu Chuping and others stayed on Dengtian Island for two days. After getting a full grasp of the situation of the ground station, the Changhai Satellite Launch Center launched the latest solid-state thrust engine rocket developed by the space agency at the end of the month, transporting carbon nanotube cables to The geosynchronous orbit Tiangong space station and the higher base of the near-Earth spaceport.

This marks the official start of the main splicing work of the space elevator, and it also affects the hearts of many passionate viewers in the live broadcast room.

……

Ps: It’s the end of the month, and those who have books should read it quickly, and try to start the explosive update mode next month!
