Armor Frenzy

When the news reached the advance base, Ye Han was very surprised.

He is also a high-ranking official in the military now, and he is also fully responsible for many matters on Io Zero. It can be said that he is a high-level authority. It is impossible for a project like this that must cooperate with the resistance organization to bypass him.

After Ye Han got the information, he read it carefully, and after a rough calculation, he immediately had a spectrum in his heart.

At that time, Ouyang Ping was by Ye Han's side. He glanced at the document twice with his eyes wide open, and immediately widened his eyes: "I'm going, I thought it was going all the way to the space station, why did the spaceship change in the middle?"

Ouyang Ping is now the chief quality inspector of the Qianjin Base. The most important job every day is to test the strength of carbon fiber. The big fish arranges the small fish, and the small fish arranges the shrimp. The North has given the task to Ye Han, and Ye Han must coordinate the overall situation. Naturally, he couldn't do it himself, and with Luo Qi's permanent residence at the Earth Base, this task naturally fell on Ouyang Ping's shoulders.

"It's weird if you don't change it." Ye Han nestled in the chair and changed to a more comfortable position, "Look carefully, don't you understand this?"

Ouyang Ping didn't look carefully at first, but after hearing what Ye Han said, he quickly took a few more glances, and then suddenly realized, he couldn't help laughing: "Tramcar? It's quite creative."

The most important supporting equipment of the rail elevator is the elevator cabin, but the design of Beidu is not an elevator at all, but a tram, and the design quality still follows the strength of the fiber cable.

In other words, after the rail elevator is built, there can only be one elevator running on the cable connecting the heaven and the earth... No, it's an air-to-sky train, one up and down with dual tracks, but only two.

At a high-speed rail speed of 300 kilometers per hour, it takes a full 120 hours to get from the ground to the synchronous track, and there can only be one sky train on the cable during this time!

This is a huge waste of resources, and one that no one can tolerate!

Adding a wharf at a distance of 120 kilometers from the ground will make a difference. The sky train only needs to run 120 kilometers.

Although the change is small, under the premise that the strength of the cable remains unchanged, it can improve the transportation efficiency of the elevator by a whole 300 times!

In other words, the improvement plan only needs two space trains to solve the problem, but the first version needs 600. As long as the IQ of Beidu is normal, you will know how to choose.

Ouyang Ping continued to look back and saw another set of improvement plans. He couldn't help asking in confusion: "Hey, boss, why is there still this?"

Ye Han twitched the corners of his mouth: "I was worried about the unbalanced force on the dual tracks, so I changed it again."

Ouyang Ping thought for a while, then nodded his head, "It's only over 100 kilometers, so the efficiency is not bad."

He didn't understand the specific imbalance, but he also knew that after thinking about it, the two tracks were connected to the same wharf, one side was full and the other was empty, and the heights of the two vehicles were different, so the force on the low-altitude wharf would definitely not be balanced. , if the situation is serious, it may even affect the space station that acts as a counterweight in synchronous orbit!

Thinking of this, Ouyang Ping wanted to laugh. The space station in the first version was an upright space station, a transfer center between the ground and outer space. In the improved version, there is no need for such a place at all, but the orbital elevator must have such a device located in a synchronous orbit. Heavy hammer is an important supporting facility that can never be saved.

Ye Han pointed at Ouyang Ping with a smile: "Wrong, it's not one up and down, but one up and it's over."

"Ah?" Ouyang Ping didn't believe it at all, "Don't let me fool you, boss. You can't get on with the light, so save up trains to play?"

"I didn't say that I won't come down." Ye Han laughed.

Ouyang Ping quickly turned back and rolled his eyes helplessly after seeing the content behind: "I said!"

Except that the space train cannot fly, it is no different from a spaceship. After flying to the low-orbit dock, there is no need to return at all. Instead, it is towed away by a special spaceship, and is thrown back into the atmosphere at a suitable place. to the sea.

In the design scheme, this is called free recycling.

However, free recycling is only used when a large number of materials are transported. When it is not busy, it is better to let the train run down by itself... It is much easier to go down than to go up, and it doesn't take much time anyway.

There are also some things such as cable handling technology, space station construction standards, and low-orbit terminal transshipment plans. Ouyang Ping didn't bother to read it carefully.

Ye Han pointed to the document and said, "There is still a task for you to contact the aliens to see if they have any light-weight and high-strength materials."

"What's the use?" Ouyang Ping asked.

"I'm afraid that the space junk will damage the cable, so I plan to add armor to the cable."

"There's no need to ask, it's definitely the most suitable insect shell." Ouyang Ping said.

Ye Han nodded: "Beidu thinks so too~www.readwn.com~ You can try it and see if you can get a batch of worm shells back, the more the better."

The so-called worm shell is not the shell of any kind of worm, but a general term for a series of alien building materials, that is, the main material of alien warships and the main material of alien buildings. It meets the requirements of light weight and high strength. Nothing fits the above requirements better than a worm's shell.

"I'll give it a try, it might not work." Ouyang Ping had no confidence at all.

"It's okay, it's not for you to solve it all, or to get some samples for the top to pick, and we don't need to be in the first place to pick it up, the top directly talks to the aliens."

"I'm afraid it won't be complete, especially the kind used on battleships."

"That's not necessary." Ye Han said, "What we have is in our hands. I guess it's a case like a battleship. Let's look for it, just to see if there is anything better."

"Okay, I'll ask Zeng Rui when I look back." Ouyang Ping nodded, and suddenly grinned, "Isn't it because of those warships? We won't even be allowed to see it over there, or you should talk to them. , Don't make this idea, maybe one day, the aliens will be able to fiddle with those warships."

Beidu has always known that the resistance organization has a batch of alien warships, and has thought about studying it in a cooperative way, but the resistance organization does not agree at all.

Thinking about it, it's very strange. Even planetary engines can be studied casually. Battleships that can't start at all will not be moved. I don't know what the aliens are thinking.

Ouyang Ping felt that the resistance organization must have some ulterior motive, such as trying to crack the control system of the warships, in short, they wanted to use those warships.

"It's good to be able to fly." Ye Han said angrily, "At that time, the cable will be sent to the sky by flying a few times!"
