Armor Frenzy

The bridge suddenly became quiet, and Luo Qi nodded sharply: "It's possible, very possible!"

He Ludao: "It's not a day or two that Europeans want a rail elevator, and it's not a day or two that the United States has been thinking about it. I heard that Washington has never given up, and has contacted Beidu every other day. Not sure what agreement was reached with Washington..."

"That's right, it makes sense!" Luo Qi nodded again, "After so long, two orbital elevators have been built, and there must be a story that they haven't been delivered, plus the matter of catching up with Mars...hehe , the European side does not want to agree or not."

Ye Han frowned and said, "I don't care how the rail elevator came to be, I just want to know, just one elevator, how will it be allocated in the future!"

Everyone wants to know the answer, how can anyone answer it?

At this time, Leishan was located above the northern hemisphere of Mars. Soon after, Leishan drilled into the shadow of Mars, and when the battleship came out of the shadow, the south pole of Mars came into view.

Ye Han and others were surprised to find that the survey of the Antarctic had ended, and half a person could not be seen in the entire Antarctic. If the mechanical equipment for the survey was still on the ground, he almost thought that the previous survey was an illusion created by himself. .

Luo Qi's mouth was quick, his eyes were rounded and he turned his head high: "Didn't you say that the Antarctic has a good location?"

He Lu raised his eyebrows: "Looking at the meaning, it should be a position first, and it's hard to say when it can be used."

"It's a good idea to concentrate on building the Arctic first, and then use the resources of the Arctic to build the Antarctic..." Ye Han said.

From Earth to Mars, it can be as short as half a month, or as long as more than two months. The transportation cost is terribly high. If the two bases are built together, the transportation cost alone can drag down the two major groups, and the timeliness is extremely poor. .

On the other hand, if you can use Mars resources to build a Mars base... It must be a little troublesome at first, but as long as the resources are developed into orbit, the cost is not a problem at all.

Thinking of this, Ye Han suddenly realized that the withdrawal of the base group from the Antarctic might also have the factor of concentrating its efforts to develop Arctic resources.

Building Antarctica with Arctic resources... This is likely to be one of the costs of prioritizing the construction of the Arctic.

Maybe Beidu has to provide an orbital elevator for Antarctica...

When Thunder Mountain turned back to the North Pole, the orbital elevator had changed from vertical to lying flat, and the 20,000-kilometer-long cable was pulled straight by centrifugal force, like a crane with only one blade attached to the North Pole of Mars. The rotor is like a red fruit with a straight and slender branch attached to it.

At this time, an sky train had already left the space station. It was like a small bug lying on a branch, slowly and firmly wriggling towards the fruit.

Under normal circumstances, the sky train only travels between the ground and the low-orbit terminal, but this does not mean that the sky train cannot go to the space station.

"Why don't you put the car in the dock?" a bridge officer asked curiously.

"Is that even a question?" He Lu looked helpless, "It's strange that there is still a place to put the train in such a long cable car dock!"

Thinking about the internal structure of the low rail terminal, Ye Han felt that the low rail terminal must have been hollowed out, so that so many cables could be put in, and the terminal was probably busy with repairs.

20,000 kilometers is not close, it is equivalent to running half a circle around the earth's equator, and it takes three full days for the train to land. In order to speed up the progress, the three sky trains in the space station set off in sequence at an interval of one hour, and the little bugs on the branches changed from one to three.

At the same time, the fleet continued to drop supplies to the North Pole, and engineers built three platforms near the platform with great efficiency, as well as a two-kilometer track along the cable.

The herringbone track starts from the platform, gradually extends to the cable, leans on both sides of the cable hundreds of meters away from the platform, and then extends along the cable for one kilometer to the end.

This kind of weird design caught Ye Han's attention. After some observation, he finally figured out the purpose of the herringbone track.

The sky train is equivalent to a column that is cut vertically, separated when it is on the ground, and closed after the cable is attached.

But those orbital elevators are all perpendicular to the ground. Mars is lying directly on the ground, which is fundamentally different from the previous orbital elevators. Naturally, the method of the train landing has to be changed. , instead on the extended track.

Ye Han doesn't know how many technical difficulties there are, but since the above has the courage to put the orbital elevator in the North Pole, the technical difficulties that should be solved must have been solved.

The more he thought about it, the more in-depth he felt, and suddenly he felt that the ground end of the north pole of Mars should be a little different. It seemed to be just a strong anchor.

The size of the thing is not small, the diameter accounts for more than half of the platform, and you don't need to ask to know that the strength is very high, but compared with the total mass of the rail elevator and the pulling force generated during operation, the ground end of about six meters seems to have that much. Insufficient point strength.

Well, the ground end may be made of some special metal, maybe it is the legendary alien formula!

In other words, I have been studying alien technology for several years, but apart from nuclear engines, I have never heard of alien technology being used anywhere. The military's research progress seems to be a bit slow!

Just as the space train was always crawling towards Mars, Ye Han finally received a report from Jizhou: the asteroid belt task force headed by Nanzhou had arrived in the asteroid belt a few days ago and was about to join the left-behind fleet. It is expected to head to Ceres on the 4th!

This news immediately attracted everyone's attention, not because everyone was too bored, but because the left-behind fleet had been hovering near Ceres~www.readwn.com~ to join the left-behind fleet, which was equivalent to encountering an alien fleet.

Today is August 2. If the Jizhou news is accurate, the asteroid belt task force will encounter the alien fleet the day after tomorrow!

The success or failure of the Nanzhou fleet is not only related to the ownership of Ceres, but also to the success or failure of the development of Mars, which cannot be ignored by everyone.

Ye Han immediately left Mars behind and ordered Leishan to point the camera at Ceres.

The panoramic helmet is very powerful. Ye Han only felt that the foreground scenery had changed, and the sparks under his feet had disappeared, replaced by a dark void.

Twelve dark human battleships were in front of Ye Han and others. They were the twelve battleships left by the task force in the asteroid belt, and all of them were covered by the camera.

When Leishan returned, Beihai was also ordered to return to Beiyuezhou. There were only six human battleships left in the entire asteroid belt, just three in Beidu and three in Washington.

These six warships are all the forces left behind by human beings in the asteroid belt, and together they form the asteroid belt left-behind fleet. To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
