I handed over to another world

Chapter 465: The Shock of the White Eagle Association

Chen Lin stepped into the interior of the space suspension platform, and what appeared before him was a control platform full of technology.

The platform was filled with various high-tech equipment. Complex data and charts flashed on the screen, and below were a bunch of buttons and joysticks, which obviously controlled the operation of the entire platform.

Chen Lin looked around. The walls around the platform were made of transparent tempered glass, so he could clearly see the high-altitude scenery outside.

After the man calmed down, he took Chen Lin on a tour of the entire suspended platform at an altitude of 30,000 meters as planned. Various scientific research sites were set up above the platform. Since it was the closest to the orbital space station, it had a heavy responsibility. The last battle before going into space was of great significance. It was impossible for the association and the space elevator project team not to pay attention to this.

After walking around, Chen Lin gave the man a thumbs up and said, "This platform is really amazingly designed... Was it made with the help of the association?"

"The project team only provided the design plan and various requirements, and the rest was completed by the association."

The man nodded and continued, "How can we complete such a large project without the support of the association? According to the original idea, the space elevator project itself is a huge project that crosses disciplines, industries, and borders. It requires the joint research and development of multiple countries to complete it."

"But now our association is different from the past. The space elevator project team has already brought together elite scientific researchers from all over the country. In addition, the association has improved its technological level in the past two years beyond the imagination of ordinary people. The entire space elevator project was finally completed quickly."

"The association has the original ACS platform. The production capacity of the unmodified manufacturing platform is terrifying. It has manufactured carbon nanotube space elevator cables and these floating platforms. The manufacturing of floating platforms is not a big deal for the original ACS platform. Not long after the association modified our design, they manufactured the products and sent them to us."

Chen Lin seemed quite surprised. He knew that ACS was a perverted thing, but he never expected it to be so perverted that even such a thing could be easily manufactured.

Chen Lin didn't know what the work currently was going on at the space outpost, but after the space elevator was fully built and operational, Chen Lin knew the main direction of the subsequent work - using the orbiting space station as the origin, or even transporting the ACS platform into space, and then building batches of space-type engineering intelligent machinery.

The next step is to use these intelligent machines to mine mineral resources on nearby planets on a large scale. The prerequisite is that the Kara Zerg and any threats on the nearby planets must be eliminated, and the mineral resources on other planets must be used to continuously manufacture more intelligent machines and interstellar spaceships, and fully automatically expand the Red Dragon Association's influence in the universe where the Blue Sea Star is located.

The universe where the Blue Sea Star is located is much worse than the Earth. The Kara alien insects, as a horrific disaster that swept across the interstellar, killed countless cosmic lives. After the insect tide subsided, at least half of the life in the entire universe was extinct - these are not Chen Lin’s personal guesses, but were told to him by Ai’an, a survivor of the pioneer civilization. Some of the data were inferred by Ai’an based on the remnants in the database.

Chen Lin came back to his senses. He looked at the thick clouds in the distance and noticed that the clouds in the west were flashing and thundering, as if it was bad weather.

"Don't worry, that place is at least three thousand kilometers away from us."

The man next to him came over and said to Chen Lin, "Before the space elevator was completed, we conducted simulation tests of severe weather. Not only strong winds and rainstorms, but we also conducted simulation tests of lightning strikes that might affect the base station or cabin of the space elevator. Because the elevator is electrified during operation, when passing through clouds or encountering special weather, some cable sections may have special electrification conditions, so we also took special protective measures."

Chen Lin nodded. Technical failures may occur in any complex mechanical system, including motors, braking systems, communication equipment, etc. These failures may cause the elevator to stop running or the car to lose control, which is extremely dangerous for the entire space elevator project.

What he was actually worried about were the kinds of scenes that only appear in movies and TV dramas, such as the cable breaking.

The cable of the space elevator is its most critical component. If the cable breaks due to overload, material fatigue, micrometeoroid impact or other reasons, the cabin will fall. If this really happens, it will probably become a movie - the most appropriate title would be "The Fall of the Space Elevator".

When it is really filmed, it will probably shock many people.

Chen Lin retracted his divergent thinking. There are too many problems that a space elevator may face. For example, threats from space, such as impacts from space debris and micrometeorites. These impacts may cause damage to the cable or the cabin. In comparison, natural disasters are considered minor and at least they can be resisted.

He decided to stay here for a while today and take the space elevator down later. Although the portal is useful, it would be a pity not to experience this kind of project. Chen Lin has already made a decision.

……

At the Red Dragon Association headquarters, President Li Tianyun stood in front of the window, staring into the distance.

His eyes revealed an unfathomable depth. Today he had received news - the results of more than half a year of hard work by the Blue Star Space Elevator Project Team have come to fruition, and the space elevator project has officially started!

The space elevator, a concept that once existed only in science fiction, has now become a reality.

The Red Dragon Association invested a lot of resources in this endeavor and mobilized various elite backbones and resources from across the country, and finally created this miracle connecting the earth and space.

Li Tianyun turned around and glanced at the other vice presidents of the Red Dragon Association and heads of various departments sitting in the conference room. Everyone had an expression of joy and excitement on their faces.

The completion of the space elevator is not only a demonstration of the Red Dragon Association's technical strength, but also a reflection of mankind's determination and courage to explore space. The most important thing at present is that the completion of this project will make everyone aware of the Red Dragon Association's terrifying power, and help them recognize the current situation more quickly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today we are witnessing a historic moment!"

Li Tianyun's voice was steady and powerful. "The completion of the space elevator will greatly promote human exploration and use of space. We will no longer be restricted by the gravity of the planet, but will be able to explore the mysteries of the universe more freely!"

There was a warm applause in the conference room, and everyone stood up and applauded. Each of them had been looking forward to this day for too long. Ever since the portal to the Origin Star was opened on Earth, the Red Dragon Association has been working hard to shine its light to wider areas, such as outer space!
They had accumulated too much strength for this day. They had accomplished what more than 200 countries and countless associations around the world could not do. The success of the Red Dragon Association directly made countless associations realize the drastic changes in the world pattern.

However, at this joyful moment, Li Tianyun felt a little uneasy.

He knew that the construction of the space elevator would arouse the jealousy and covetousness of some forces, and he had to be prepared to deal with it.

Just then, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and the assistant hurried in and whispered something in Chairman Li's ear.

Chairman Li narrowed his eyes and slowly sat down on the chair. A group of people stared at him, not knowing what was going on. He thought for a few seconds and then said to the young assistant beside him, "Leave this matter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Tell them that the construction of the space elevator is for the benefit of all mankind."

He said calmly, "Let's say that our Red Dragon Association is willing to share this achievement with other associations and jointly explore the mysteries of space, provided that the association is friendly to us and the relationship between us is not bad." "I heard that the White Eagle Association also threatened us that if we don't share technology, it will start a war?"

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense, and everyone felt uneasy. Even though they knew that the construction of the space elevator would not be smooth sailing, this sentence still made everyone present feel quite uncomfortable.

"Oh, then we'll do it."

President Li responded calmly, then said, "Our Red Dragon Association has always upheld the principle of win-win cooperation, and is even willing to jointly develop the other world with other associations. But the current situation is a zero-sum game. The opposing association is trying every means to kill us. Regardless of whether they have the ability to do so, the attitude they show is so arrogant and naked."

"So when it's time to draw the sword, we must draw the sword."

Chairman Li tapped the table lightly and glanced at the people present: "If the other party wants to threaten us to compromise, our attitude must be firm and decisive. As long as the other party dares to attack, we must fight back fiercely and deal a fatal blow to the other party!"

"I don't want anyone to talk about compromise at this critical juncture. We are in a life-and-death struggle with the former No. 1 in the system. There is no room for compromise. You should all understand this."

Everyone in the association present nodded. They understood that only by unity could they protect the Origin Star, the Blue Sea Star, the Wood Spirit Star… and everything after they opened the portal would have to be maintained by powerful military force. Without strength, if the news of the portal was leaked, the White Eagle Association would probably come with fighter jets and helicopters to snatch it the next day.

It's just like what happened after oil was discovered on Earth.

President Li looked at the atmosphere of unity in the conference room and nodded slightly. No one knew the situation of the association better than him. They just needed to drag it on. The longer the time, the stronger the entire association would become. As long as the entire Red Dragon Association was united, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome, and no enemies that could not be eliminated.

The completion of the space elevator is only the beginning of human exploration of space. In the future, there will be a wider universe waiting for them to explore. By then, there will be more things to consider, and the materials and various scientific research results required will be even more terrifying. The association will then continue to carry out interstellar migration to multiple universes. I believe there are still more warriors in this world.

……

White Eagle Association Headquarters.

The association's president, Richard, was sitting in his office, frowning as he looked at the report in his hand - the report detailed the Red Dragon Association's successful development of a space elevator, and this news was undoubtedly a huge shock to him.

Richard stood up slowly, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

The White Eagle Association has been committed to space exploration and technological innovation, but this breakthrough by the Red Dragon Association has undoubtedly put them under tremendous pressure and shocked them enough.

All the information coming from SPX were about failed experiments, and all the requests were for money to be transferred to them through other channels... He recalled his speech at an international space exploration forum a few days ago.

At the time, he also proudly announced a series of achievements of the White Eagle Association in the field of space exploration, including the launch of the latest lunar probe and Mars rover.

Yet those achievements now seem overshadowed.

After all, these conventional projects are not at the same level as the space elevator project unveiled by the Red Dragon Association.

Richard took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He turned back to his desk, picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Grete, I need you to come to my office right now."

A few minutes later, Gretel knocked on Richard's office door.

Richard handed her the report and frowned, saying, "The Red Dragon Association has successfully developed a space elevator. This is a huge challenge for us... We need to re-evaluate our space exploration plan and find a solution as soon as possible."

Grete took the report, quickly glanced through it, and a look of shock appeared on her face.

"Too fast... Why did the Red Dragon Association succeed so quickly? The technology they mastered may not be what we have now. That damn portal provided them with unimaginable technology and materials. If we could also master the portal, all of this might be ours now!"

Richard nodded. "You're right, Gretel."

"But what we have to think about now is what to do next."

Gretel took a deep breath and said, "It's nothing more than strengthening cooperation with other countries and institutions to jointly promote the development of space exploration... At the same time, we must also increase investment in the research and development of new technologies and new projects to ensure our leading position in the field of space exploration, at least for now."

Grete continued, "I will immediately organize a team to conduct an assessment and develop a new R&D plan. We must also strengthen cooperation with academia and private enterprises to utilize their innovation capabilities and resources."

Richard was basically satisfied with Gretel's proposal. The White Eagle Association still had strong technical strength and resources. As long as they worked hard, they should be able to catch up with the projects that had lagged behind before...

He stood up and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Gretel: "Gretel, I believe your team can handle this challenge."

"If it can't be completed, I can only come up with a bad plan."

Grete was stunned for a moment, then realized what President Richard meant by "the worst option". She looked somewhat helpless: "It's better not to use that option until the last moment. After all, it will drag all of humanity down with it!"
