The topic of space elevators has aroused extremely heated discussion in China.

And soon after, this incident spread from China to the world's Internet.

Suddenly the whole world knew that China's Beishan Technology Group was planning to build a space elevator.

This news quickly attracted considerable attention in the world.

Major media outlets around the world also rushed to report on the event.

After all, it is Beishan Technology Group, and the whole world knows the company’s past achievements.

Many media also regard Beishan Technology Group as the traffic code.

As long as Beishan Technology Group makes any new move, they will report it immediately, and this time is no exception.

Many foreign netizens have begun searching for information about this matter online, or looking up some popular science information to find out what the space elevator is.

But when they truly understood the space elevator, they were completely shocked by it.

"Wang Defa, what are these Chinese people doing? Are they really planning to send ordinary people to heaven?"

"It's actually a space elevator. I originally thought this thing was only made up in novels, but I didn't expect it could actually be built in reality?"

"It's a bit too early to say it's successful now. The construction of a space elevator is extremely difficult. I'm not very optimistic about Beishan Technology Group."

"Yes, although this company has surprised us many times before, the space elevator is definitely the most difficult project they have ever taken on."

"The success rate of this project is extremely low, and it can even be said to be an impossible project."

"Where are the Eagles? The Chinese are already planning to build a space elevator, why don't they come out and say something?"

"Fuck, these Chinese are so crazy that they even want to build a space elevator. This is a huge threat to world security."

"That's right. We must stop China from doing this. Otherwise, if the space elevator falls from overhead, it will be a huge disaster."

The vast majority of netizens in the world are just spectators and do not care whether this project can succeed.

However, there are still some vested interests who are using the power of public opinion to find ways to obstruct the implementation of the space elevator project.

Of course, no matter what choice these people make, no matter what methods they come up with to target Beijing Business Technology Group.

Jiang Chen would never obey them, nor would he stop the space elevator project.

No matter what the cost, Jiang Chen was determined to make this thing that only existed in his imagination become a reality.

Although there was a lot of discussion at home and abroad, Jiang Chen didn't care about it.

Whether Beishan Technology Group is listed or not, Jiang Chen is the sole controller of the company and does not need to be responsible to the shareholders.

Therefore, where the group should go and how it should develop are all decided by Jiang Chen alone.

As long as Jiang Chen decides on something, no one in the group can oppose or stop it.

Jiang Chen has also been paying close attention to changes in public opinion online.

During this period, he also asked the company's public relations department to convey information to the outside world.

We assure everyone that Beishan Technology Group will prioritize ensuring the safety of the space elevator and will never allow this incident to harm any innocent ordinary person.

Not long after, the space elevator project was still being hotly discussed on the Internet.

The technical personnel assigned to Jiang Chen by the government finally returned to Beishan City to participate in this project.

The last time they came, they just had a brief understanding of the project and met with Jiang Chen.

This time when they came back, they not only brought many important equipment from their research institute.

The most important thing is that we also brought the scientific researchers from the laboratory here.

This is what Jiang Chen values ​​most. The reason why he seeks official help is not to obtain official resource support.

But these people.

These scientific researchers who have made great achievements in the field of materials science are the rare resources that Jiang Chen lacks the most now.

With them, the space elevator project can be launched quickly, saving Jiang Chen the trouble of training a group of new people.

Even for graduates from famous universities in China, it takes a lot of time to train them from scratch to apply book knowledge to practice.

With them, these technical personnel, who are very mature and have a lot of experience, can quickly get into the state.

The space elevator project officially began at this moment.

Since the construction of a space elevator needs to be carried out from top to bottom, an orbital space station needs to be built first.

Then, from this space station, the carbon nanotubes are connected one by one like a ladder, and finally hung down to the ground.

Therefore, in addition to the research and development of carbon nanotubes, the support of aerospace technology is also needed.

Taking this into consideration, Jiang Chen chose to cooperate with the China Space Administration.

Relying on the relationship between himself, Zhou Dingguo, and Mr. Liang, Jiang Chen easily obtained the support of the China Space Administration.

At the same time, according to the plan, a sky-high order was placed with the China Space Administration.

That requires the China Space Administration. Jiang Chen will transport all the payloads needed to build an orbital space station to the predetermined orbit.

During the entire project, the China National Space Administration needs to launch at least more than one hundred carrier rockets to transport enough supplies.

As for Beishan Technology Group’s own aerospace department, it certainly cannot sit idle.

In Jiang Chen’s plan, the orbital space station of this space elevator will be extremely large.

It can accommodate tens of thousands of people living on it at the same time, just like a small city.

Moreover, as the space elevator is officially built in the future, the cost of transporting materials to the synchronous orbit will become very low.

At that time, Jiang Chen will continue to expand this orbital space station. The ultimate goal is to allow this space station to accommodate 500,000 people at the same time.

This is a very remarkable idea, but it is too difficult to accomplish.

In addition, since nothing had been decided yet, Jiang Chen didn't tell anyone else for the time being.

However, Jiang Chen firmly believed in his heart that this day would come sooner or later.

With the injection of a large amount of funds, the space elevator project began in full swing.

Not only is carbon nanotubes being researched, but the fabrication of the space station has also begun.

All relevant departments in China and the entire Beishan Technology Group are like tightly wound springs.

The project is being advanced in an orderly manner.

At the same time, discussions about this project on the Internet have not ended.

There are still a large number of netizens discussing this online.

For example, whether the space elevator project can be successful, and what is the success rate of this project. …

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed.

During these three months, the China National Space Administration has launched thirty flights of rockets into space.

Now that the China National Space Administration has mastered the technology of reusable rockets, it is able to have such powerful transportation capabilities, and the cost is not too high.

Otherwise, based on the launch costs of the original rockets, the China National Space Administration would not be able to undertake such a high frequency of launch missions in a short period of time.

However, the high-frequency transmission still has a very good effect.

Because now many orbital space station units have been transported to synchronous orbit.

These unit space capsules can be assembled together very flexibly and very simply to form the prototype of a space station.

Today, there is a small space station orbiting the Earth in synchronous orbit.

In the future, the space agency will send more space capsules into space, continuously expand the scale of the space station, and finally achieve its planned appearance.

Except that the construction of the space station went very smoothly.

Many scientific researchers in the space elevator graphene material project team have also made very important technological breakthroughs during this period.

The most critical point is the large-scale manufacturing technology of carbon nanotubes.

After three full months of research and development, Jiang Chen received news from the laboratory that afternoon.

The message was sent by Guo Haiping, the leader of the research team personally appointed by Jiang Chen.

"Boss Jiang, we just successfully mastered the technology for large-scale production of carbon nanotubes this morning."

"We have now created a two-meter-long carbon nanotube cable in the lab that meets the structural strength and weight requirements."

"If you have time now, you can come and have a look."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen immediately put down what he was doing and rushed to the laboratory.

Not long after, Jiang Chen arrived at the laboratory and saw Guo Haiping, Lin Ce and others who were waiting there.

Seeing Jiang Chen coming, Guo Haiping quickly pointed to a laboratory table in front of him.

Jiang Chen looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, he saw a cable as thick as a man's forearm lying quietly on it.

Jiang Chen touched it gently with his hand, and felt a feeling like metal, but not like metal.

At this time, Guo Haiping took out the tablet computer and showed Jiang Chen the data they collected in the morning experiment.

"Boss, we have measured the physical and chemical properties of this section of carbon nanotube cable."

"After testing, it was found that this section of carbon nanotube cable is very light and perfectly meets the standards for building a space elevator. It will definitely not collapse due to its own weight."

"In addition, the structural strength of this cable is also very high, and it will not break even if force is applied to both ends at the same time."

"At the same time, in terms of chemical properties, this section of carbon nanotubes performs perfectly, is corrosion-resistant, and is resistant to high temperatures, and will not cause the structure to become brittle in low-temperature environments."

"Boss, we have successfully completed the task you assigned to us."

Since Guo Haiping and others have been in Beishan Technology Group for some time, they, like other staff members, call Jiang Chen the boss.

After listening to Guo Haiping's words, Jiang Chen took the tablet and looked at it carefully.

Sure enough, all the data recorded in the tablet computer was exactly the same as he said.

This section of carbon nanotube cable is impeccable both physically and chemically.

Even if it is not used to build space elevators, it will inevitably become a hot topic in the world's construction field and be applied to many new types of buildings.

Jiang Chen nodded with great satisfaction and said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I knew there would be absolutely no problem asking you to come over and study this technology."

"You really didn't let me down. You did a perfect job."

After receiving Jiang Chen's approval, these people also showed proud expressions.

At this time Jiang Chen suddenly asked again.

"By the way, seeing that the space elevator requires a huge amount of carbon nanotubes, didn't you say that you have mastered the technology to mass-produce carbon nanotube cables?"

"Then based on current capabilities, how many carbon nanotube cables can be produced in a day?"

After hearing this question, Guo Haiping thought for a moment and then said lightly.

"Boss, we only have one prototype in our lab right now, and it can produce 500 meters of carbon nanotube cables every day."

"However, after a period of research and modification, we hope to increase this length to one thousand meters."

"If we could build a few more of these machines to make the cable material together, we might only need five machines working together."

"It is not a difficult task to complete the task of preparing the cables for the space elevator."

"Of course, if you have enough budget and want to complete the production of all materials faster, there is nothing wrong with adding a few more machines."

"The materials needed to make carbon nanotubes are very common, but the process is complicated. If you make them yourself, the cost is not very high."

Hearing this answer, Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction.

Now that the manufacturing technology of carbon nanotube cables has matured, it can be said that the last obstacle to the construction of space elevators has been cleared.

Of course, even if all the material requirements are met, it is still a very difficult task to successfully build a space elevator.

After all, the space elevator is different from an ordinary elevator. It is not built from the ground upwards little by little.

Instead, it will be built from the top down from the orbiting space station.

The orbital carrying capacity required for this is enormous. Even with the current Beishan Technology Group and the carrying capacity of the China National Space Administration, it will take a lot of time to complete.

Fortunately, the construction of the orbital space station has already begun and has been under construction for three months.

The orbital space station has begun to take shape and has a rough outline.

According to Jiang Chen’s plan, the construction of the space elevator can begin as soon as possible.

On the one hand, we need to splice these carbon nanotube cables, and on the other hand, we continue to expand the size of the orbital space station and increase its weight.

In this way, working together on both the upper and lower aspects can ensure that the orbital space station always maintains the correct altitude.

The increase in weight of the cable below will not cause the satellite to drop in orbit and eventually fall into the atmosphere and burn.

Now everything is ready except for the east wind. Jiang Chen did not think too much about it. Everything had been prepared at the beginning of the project.

Jiang Chen waved his hand and spoke to everyone.

"Continue to follow the plan and begin the main construction of the space elevator." (End of this chapter)
