I'm really a time traveler

Chapter 423 Carbon Nanotubes

"what?"

Lin Yicheng came to the front, and then picked up the material that the other party had just taken out of the bag, which looked like a long and thin object.

Looking at the material carefully, it seems to be slightly transparent overall.

"Are these carbon nanotubes?"

Lin Yicheng lowered his head and looked carefully, and then recognized the thing. Even though he was a little surprised, he turned his head to look at Qi Mengfei beside him.

"Has this thing been developed?"

Carbon nanotubes are something that has been decided to be produced a long time ago.

The main function of this thing is naturally to be used as a cable for the space elevator.

Carbon nanotubes are a type of nanomaterial with extremely strong endurance and tensile strength.

With this thing, it can withstand the tension between the cables and fix the rope between the space station and the earth.

Lin Yicheng thought about these data in his mind, and then his face showed a hint of joy.

Qi Mengfei saw Lin Yicheng looking so happy and immediately asked.

And this is only the cost of transporting it to space. If it is to be sent to the moon, the cost will need to be increased nearly ten times.

Many of these things need to be installed on it. They will be used to collect some data in the future, which is very important.

People here have calculated that once the space elevator comes out, it will cost about fifty or sixty to send a pound of supplies into space.

"Well, let's get started. Build the space elevator as soon as possible. In the future, we can also start to enter space. By then, we can also start to mine the resources in space."

At that time, as long as the space station is kept at the same speed as the earth's rotation, the space station will be relatively stationary.

For fifty or sixty yuan, you can send a pound of stuff into space. This is a very good deal!
In this way, if you want to build some spaceships in space in the future, the cost can be reduced a lot.

"The resources on earth cannot meet our future needs."

But now, it seems that we can only wait for the space elevator to come out.

Therefore, there are many things that were originally on the list, but had to be pushed back one row after another.

However, in order to take into account that there may be people during transportation, it is still necessary to add some systems inside to avoid overloading of people inside.

In this way, every time materials are transported, the cost cannot be ignored.

In the future, transportation costs between the ground and space will be greatly reduced.

Once this thing comes out, the main problem of the space elevator will be solved.

But if the space elevator comes out, the cost per kilogram will probably only be tens of dollars per kilogram.

By then, it will probably be possible to build a steel mill, construction plant, forging plant and the like in space.

When Lin Yicheng heard this, he nodded very calmly and responded.

After all, those ores can't always be transported to the ground for exercise.

Otherwise, the cost of transportation would still be more than 150,000 yuan per catty.

As long as Lin Yicheng's confirmation is obtained, the space elevator project can begin.

As for the elevator car, it's even simpler.

However, these technologies are not a problem for them.

As for the construction of other ground stations and space stations, these are minor problems.

"Then if there is no problem, we will start production and start this project next?"

Although the three companies are very profitable, in the field of space, spending money is a bottomless pit. Basically, it is a plan to save a little.

Qi Mengfei didn't hesitate when he heard the words, and directly agreed, ready to start construction soon.

The space elevator is still very important right now. Otherwise, every material transportation between the earth and the moon would be too troublesome and too expensive.

However, I didn't tell them what to do with the land before, and the people above didn't ask any more questions.

In fact, they still have a lot of things they want to transport to the moon, because the transportation is too troublesome, and every time the rocket lifts off, the things on it are filled to the brim.

I have already talked with the people above about the land they want here.

Isn't it a waste of time and cost to wait until you're done exercising before sending it to space?

Otherwise, if it is a spaceship or something, or a space base or something, the weight of everything transported up there is not light.

Qi Mengfei saw the joy on Lin Yicheng's face and immediately said with a smile.

So in general, the biggest problem with the space elevator has been solved, and now we can start taking action.

"Not long after it was produced, we have conducted tests and have determined that the carbon nanotubes can withstand the endurance of the space elevator and fully meet the conditions for use."

For now, the cost of transporting materials from the ground to space is basically about 150,000 per kilogram. This is because Lin Yicheng's technology is developing rapidly, and some engines can be reused and are not disposable. reason.

Lin Yicheng nodded repeatedly when he heard this.

Just the cost of sending it up was enough for them to spend a lot of money.

There is no problem at all with the materials.

"Now that these things are out, can we start planning for the future?"

Probably because for them, the things done by companies like Xingyu are usually kept strictly confidential.

The other party just wants a piece of land now, it's no big deal, just give it.

As for what to do in the future, you will know it when the time comes. There is no need to ask clearly now.

In addition to the three companies on their side, they also joined forces to replace their equipment.

They were promised replacement equipment before, but they were kept waiting for a long time.

So far, individual soldier equipment and unmanned aerial vehicle systems have all received good responses, and it can be seen that the other party likes them very much.

This situation is the best. If the other party likes this kind of equipment, they will be able to cooperate more in the future.

Once they really get to space, I guess the other party will purchase Star Destroyers or something like that from them.

However, combat ships such as Star Destroyers are not so easy to build. It takes a long time to build one, and it consumes a lot of various resources.

In addition, there are many various factories that require various supporting facilities, and existing factories need to be upgraded.

At that time, they can touch the Star Destroyer and see if it can be built.

Lin Yicheng is also very clear about the situation here.

The best way at that time is to build it directly in space, but a large factory needs to be built in space to be able to produce such a space battleship.

Of course, it can also be built on the ground. It's just that this thing is too big and too heavy.

If it were to be built on the earth, there would be many points to consider.

In order to build a space battleship, the height of the space battleship can reach hundreds of meters.

To build on the ground, a corresponding factory needs to be built to a height of hundreds of meters.

In space, there is no need, because in space, it can float up and down, and it can be adjusted up and down at will.

Therefore, relatively speaking, construction in space will be much simpler.

But these things, when I think about it now, seem to be a little too far-reaching.

Lin Yicheng shook his head when he thought of this, put away the thought in his mind, and then took out the information on the space elevator and looked at it.

"Wherever I applied for, there must be no airport nearby, and there must be no air routes passing by. In addition, it must be consistent with the space station in space so that nothing happens. The choice of this location is very particular."

Lin Yicheng looked at the model he had pulled out in front of him and asked Qi Mengfei again.

Upon hearing this, Qi Mengfei immediately explained the location of the reserved land.

Lin Yicheng took a closer look, and then adjusted the simulation in front of him to the corresponding position.

Soon, the video in front of me appeared on a small planet with several cables extending from the ground and running straight into space.

In space, there is a huge space station that is moving at the same speed as the earth.

It seems that the two are in a static state.

At this moment, you can still see the elevator car going back and forth in the video, which looks extremely busy.

If we really wait until the space elevator is built, this thing will indeed become very busy by then.

In order to transport materials back and forth, this elevator car can be regarded as a round-the-clock work.

"Okay, there's nothing wrong with this position. You can start."

Lin Yicheng looked at it for a moment, and after confirming that he could choose this position, he immediately spoke.

The tone seemed very relaxed at this moment.

He had thought of this a long time ago, and now that it was finally possible, he was naturally happy.

Qi Mengfei in front of him also nodded when he heard this, "Then, leave this matter entirely to me?"

Speaking of this, Qi Mengfei also glanced at Lin Yicheng cautiously.

Although everyone is saying that the three companies are together and there is a master behind the scenes, the companies have not been merged yet.

Although the speculation outside is correct.

But when this project is completed, the person who is named after it is completed will also be the one who starts the construction, and she is the executor!

Therefore, who will do this project is still very important.

For example, the suspended car came from her, so when people outside mentioned the suspended car, the name they mentioned was her.

When it comes to the dome, the person mentioned is Qi Xuexiao.

The difference here is still huge, so Qi Mengfei has no choice but to care.

What's more, this project is a project that will last forever.

She estimated that this space elevator could be used for hundreds of years.

When everyone sees this space elevator, the company they think of is naturally the company she is in charge of, and it is also her name.

In addition, they can also engrave their company's logo on the space elevator.

Thinking of this, the corners of Qi Mengfei's mouth couldn't help but curl up.

The company under her should be doing projects like this, which is in line with the development of her company.

Starting from suspended cars, to space elevators, and then to spaceships, this development progress is the most appropriate.

As for Qi Xuexiao, let him do all the space immigration in the future.

The projects between each other are all clearly separated.

Lin Yicheng saw what the other party was thinking, and he couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, "They're just small projects, just take them, do them well, and don't screw them up."

"How could this be messed up? All the details of the project are clearly written, but..."

Speaking of this, Qi Mengfei couldn't help but pause slightly, and her expression became a little hesitant.

"Who will be the construction team for this project? As for the control station on the ground, it will be fine. When the time comes, we will strictly require the construction team to provide them with various requirements and drawings."

"But this space station also has cable traction. Which construction team should we call to do this?"

At this moment, Qi Mengfei asked the most crucial question.

It is still very difficult to lay such a high cable for tens of thousands of miles from top to bottom.

And in the end, the ground and the space station need to be fixed together, which is much more difficult.

"Why, is it difficult to know now? Do you want to change someone?"

Lin Yicheng suddenly smiled when he saw the embarrassed look on the other party's face.

"Then naturally we can't change people. Even if we change people, don't we still have to solve this problem?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Mengfei immediately said something.

"Tell me quickly, who should the construction team call to do this?"

Qi Mengfei was a little anxious now and quickly asked Lin Yicheng.

"When we get here, no matter which team you call, they won't be able to do it. They have never done this kind of project themselves, and they don't have any aircraft. If you ask them to do this project, how will they do it?"

"They don't even have the qualifications or ability to go into space. If you ask them to come, how are you going to fix the cable?"

Lin Yicheng heard this and said it casually.

When Qi Mengfei heard this, she thought about it carefully and nodded in approval.

Indeed, if nothing else, you will definitely need to take the cable into space when you turn back.

Take it to the space station. Currently, no construction team on earth can go into space.

In this case, it seems that no matter what team is called, they will not be able to do the job.

But if the job can't be done, then who should be called?
When Qi Mengfei thought of this, she couldn't help but look up at Lin Yicheng. For a moment, she felt as if she had stepped into a pit.

"Okay, when this thing comes to a critical point, we still have to do it ourselves. Just go ahead and lay out the foundation and other facilities. When that time comes, just hand it over to me." (End of Chapter)
