Armor Frenzy

If you think about it further, the natural conditions of Ceres are far better than those of Jupiter’s satellites. These favorable conditions for human beings are also beneficial to aliens. If aliens are one step ahead, it will be difficult to get Ceres back. .

Gao Kai sighed: "Do you think the boss didn't think about it? The boss is the same as you, the first thing you think about is it. The problem is that it is a bit too big. To build a base there is basically repeating the process of Beiyuezhou. Once again, a lot of resources are invested, and the construction period is long, and now is the time to rush..."

After speaking, he shook his head, and then added: "And it is not only a problem of the construction period, but also the take-off and landing of warships." Building a space base is not about immigrants, and it is not that the bigger the celestial body, the better.

Ye Han couldn't remember the detailed data of Ceres, so he couldn't help asking: "What is the gravity of Ceres?"

"It seems to be 0.27." Gao Kai recalled.

"That's it?" Ye Han couldn't believe his ears. "The moon is 1.6, right? 1.6 can't fly, and 0.27 can't do it? The 100,000-ton warship will be less than 3,000 tons when it reaches Ceres, so install a few more. The rocket engine is there, how can it not fly?"

Gao Kai understood what Ye Han meant: "It's not impossible, it's too troublesome, Ceres is not the moon, rocket fuel is difficult to handle, and it takes too much fuel to land and take off. Instead of looking for that trouble, it's better to build a space station."

"That's true." Ye Han had to admit that the space station was indeed more practical.

The well-built Ceres is definitely a big help, but the unbuilt Ceres is a burden!

The initial construction of Ceres is basically a dry investment without results. Only after the electromagnetic orbit is built, can there be a powerful boost to the fleet.

That was the case before Beiyuezhou had an electromagnetic orbit, but after the electromagnetic orbit was built, it immediately entered a period of rapid development.

If you want to be rich, build roads first.

Whether it is an electromagnetic track or a rail elevator, it is equivalent to the previous expressway or high-speed rail.

Thinking of this, Ye Han suddenly had an idea and couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you build an orbital elevator at Ceres?"

Gao Kai glanced at Ye Han in surprise: "You think a lot?"

Ye Han felt wrong: "What do you mean?"

Gao Kai smiled strangely: "It doesn't make any sense, just tell me about this, don't go out and talk nonsense."

Ye Han instantly understood: "Is the boss really planning to do this?"

Gao Kai saw that he had guessed it, and no longer concealed it: "We went there this time to find a counterweight for Ceres, that is, to find a similar asteroid near Ceres. The first step is to install a thruster or something. , after turning the asteroid into a space station, send it to the vicinity of Ceres, the cable is installed on the asteroid, and the orbital elevator is ready."

Ye Han's face twitched, and a word of national scolding almost rushed out.

This is a high hand, and the orbital elevator is used to develop dwarf planets directly. If this is successful, it will be the standard template for developing dwarf planets in the future!

Not only dwarf planets, but several large moons like Jupiter and Saturn can use this template to apply.

The foundation laid over the years is solid, otherwise, how could it be so simple to develop Ceres?

If there was an orbital elevator when the moon was developed...why wouldn't one be installed on the moon?

As soon as this idea popped into his mind, Ye Han rejected it by himself. Fortunately, he didn't say this idea, otherwise Gao Kai would have to die as a joke.

Nothing else, the moon is simply not suitable for an orbital elevator!

This seems to discriminate against the moon. In fact, it is not the case. The orbital elevator must be placed above the equator. Only in this way can the counterweight in the synchronous orbit have enough speed to tighten the cable.

The problem is that the ice mines on the moon only exist at the poles, so Beiyuezhou, Nanyuezhou and the international base must make their homes at the poles. Orbital elevators are placed at the poles in a conventional way. The space station that acts as a counterweight has no speed and is not from the sky. Don't fall off!

In other words, stars whose rotation speed is too slow also cannot use orbital elevators, because their synchronous orbits are too high, and the weight of the cables alone is an extremely heavy burden.

For example, one day is equal to one year of Venus.

If the orbital elevator is placed on the lunar equator, it is not impossible, but in that case, all the materials on the moon have to travel thousands of miles from the poles to the equator, and then lift off through the orbital elevator. Large base, it is better to continue to use electromagnetic orbit.

However, it doesn't seem hopeful...

Just as a flash of light flashed in his mind, Ye Han suddenly heard Gao Kai's painful accusation: "You are in a daze again, why are you in a daze again?"

Ye Han first glanced at Gao Kai, then suddenly smiled: "I plan to make a report and ask the superiors to study whether it is possible to install an orbital elevator for Beiyuezhou."

Gao Kai was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, pointed at Ye Han and barked, scolding Ye Han from head to toe, and finally concluded: "I have seen such a whimsical person, but I have never seen you so whimsical, if you can place a track in the polar region Elevator, why did they put the orbital elevator on the equator?"

Gao Kai's reaction was all within Ye Han's expectations, and the reason he said was similar to what he thought before, so Ye Han raised Erlang's legs unhurriedly: "The earth is not the moon~www.readwn.com~ Two different things ."

"No matter how different you are, you can't violate the basic rules!" Gao Kai said decisively, leaving no room for himself.

This matter is not his own idea, it has been verified by many experts, and it is a sure thing.

Ye Han smiled and said, "My method is no different from putting it on the equator."

"Then I'm all ears and listen to what tricks your old man has to do things that others can't do!" Gao Kai said that I was very optimistic about you, but immediately reminded, "Don't say it. The act of worshipping the heavens and offering sacrifices to the gods is simply ineffective, otherwise I would have cursed all the aliens to death."

Ye Han almost choked to death: "Are you still listening?"

"Listen, you say it!"

Ye Han rationalized his thoughts: "It's actually quite simple, does the helicopter know?"

Gao Kai nodded cooperatively: "Continue!"

He wondered what the relationship between helicopters and rail elevators had.

"My idea is this, first build a strong enough ground tower on the pole, and then fix the ground end of the orbital elevator to the tower." Ye Han said.

"That's it?" Gao Kai widened his eyes.

"That's it." Ye Han nodded affirmatively.

Gao Kai's expression changed: "How are you playing with people? What kind of bad idea is this? You can install a rail elevator on the pole without building a base and changing a tower? You haven't woken up from a dream, have you?"
