Infrastructure: Start to Repair The Elevator in Mount Everest

Chapter 226

Ten Magnesium Research Institutes under the banner of Yishan Reclamation across the country have begun their work in full swing.

Although these magnesium research institutes are under the banner of Yishan Reclamation, they cannot be profit-oriented. This is also normal. Magnesium ore is a rare resource. If you want to make a profit, you can only export this thing. The export regulations are very strict.

Moving mountains and reclaiming the sea simply doesn’t like exporting minerals for such a small amount of money. There is no need.

On the helicopter, Li Qi went around again and began to choose a location for the Sky Elevator.

“‘Buzz’

The helicopter flew over Jiuquan, over Lop Nur, over the Gobi Desert…

For a full twenty-four hours, I kept patrolling various places without stopping.

Su Mingyu spread out the map and said: “We must choose no-man’s land, must be no-man’s land. And, it must be a place with a relatively high altitude, and a place with strong ultraviolet rays.”

Li Qi didn’t know much about site selection, and asked humbly: “Why do we need ultraviolet rays ~ strong places?”

Su Mingyu explained: “In fact, what we want to choose is not a place with strong ultraviolet rays, but a place with thin clouds and high sunlight exposure. This way, it is more suitable for observing the weather and observing the climate. This is for the follow-up operation of the elevator. ”

Li Qi listened carefully, and silently wrote down these knowledge-knowledge points in his heart:

“Expert Su, how many tentative goals do we have now?”

Su Mingyu pointed to the map and said: “The first is Lop Nur, the second is Jiuquan, which is just beside the launch center. The third is Hoh Xil no man’s land. The fourth is Mount Everest, but the vicinity of Mount Everest is not considered, because You have made Mount Everest crowded now.”

“Hahaha.”

Li Qi smiled embarrassedly, he didn’t expect the Pearl Summit to be so hot. The former no-man’s land is now full of voices.

Su Mingyu said solemnly: “Let’s go to the Kunlun Mountains next. The Kunlun Mountains are the gateway to China, and there are also thousands of miles away without people. It is to start planning road infrastructure and transportation infrastructure again. If the Kunlun Mountains can be an alternative, move the mountain and fill it. The sea is in trouble again.”

Li Qi nodded: “This is not a problem. Now there is half a day left for us. We have determined the place, and all the preliminary preparations have been done, and we need to start work. I believe that people all over the world are waiting to see I joke, I think it’s impossible for me to start construction in these few days. Let them see it, and don’t let those who expect it fail.”

“You are right to think so.”

At this moment, Li Qi’s phone rang.

“Hey?”

Li Yue’s excited voice came from the other end of the phone:

“Boss, I have to tell you good news.”

“What good news?:”

“Our Magnesium Mine Research Institute failed twelve times, the thirteenth time. We finally succeeded in refining a batch of aluminum-magnesium alloys with a total weight of 19 tons! And, all in accordance with the specifications of the space elevator , Processed into aluminum-magnesium alloy wire with a diameter of 5 cm!”

“Really!”

Li Qi was ecstatic.

He had received news before, saying that magnesium mining research institutes everywhere were failing constantly. The most uncomfortable thing was that there was no reason for the failure.

Li Qi was almost desperate, even wondering if he didn’t practice well in the first batch when he started work. ,

Unexpectedly, the first batch of good news from Li Yue and the others had actually achieved it. Moreover, it is nineteen tons!

And, all are 5 cm aluminum-magnesium wire!

This should be the first event in the world that can refine up to 19 tons of aluminum-magnesium wire with a diameter of 5 cm at a time!

Haven’t been exposed to aluminum-magnesium alloy, you never know how difficult it is to refine it!

Hanging up the phone, Li Qi said excitedly: “Expert Su, it’s a success. The first batch of aluminum-magnesium alloy wire was successfully refined, with a total weight of 19 tons.”

Su Mingyu was also excited: “This is really great. Everything is difficult at the beginning. But with this head, you will be able to keep up. We need the total weight of aluminum-magnesium alloys to be about 700,000 tons. This is placed in the world. It’s also a terrifying number.”

“Yes! Success is good, success is good. Although the first batch is only 19 tons, all the magnesium ore factories in the country, as well as our ten research institutes under the jurisdiction of Yishan Reclamation, will continue to follow. Success. Refining together, under the nationwide smelting, this amount will definitely keep up. The progress will also keep up.”

Su Mingyu said solemnly: “This is double happiness. Who doesn’t know that magnesium ore refining is difficult? But now, there is a national smelting. How much magnesium ore refining experience must be accumulated? No country in the world can compare.”

“Hahahaha, yes, double happiness is coming!”

Li Qi roared, facing the continuous snow-capped mountains of Kunlun Mountains below, he let out a long scream: “Chong!”

Five minutes later, another good news came.

The deputy captain of the helicopter received a call. After listening for a while, he hung up, and the deputy captain turned back and said:

“Mr. Li, the scientific research outpost in the Kunlun Mountains knows we are looking for a place, so he specifically called to inform us and suggested a place for us. Would you like to see it?”

“Where?”

“Talimu Desert!”

“Talimu Desert?”

Li Qi frowned, never even heard of this place.

Su Mingyu also frowned, his profession is not right, and he is not very familiar with these geographies.

And a geographer who accompanied him was stunned, and suddenly screamed: “Talimu Desert! Why didn’t I think about it, my God, I’m so stupid, why didn’t I think of Tarim Desert? There is no better place in the world than here. It’s a place. Hey, if I had thought of this place long ago, why should I go to Lop Nur to Hoh Xil, or what Gobi desert to go, it’s totally unnecessary.”

Li Qi quickly asked, “Expert Zhou, where is Tarim?”

Expert Zhou Shen said:

“The Tarim Desert is located on the northern slope of the Kunlun Mountains. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is the driest place in Asia. It is connected to the Qaidam Desert. The annual precipitation in both places is less than 100 mm. Sunshine. The direct radiation rate is extremely strong and the ultraviolet rays are extremely strong. In Ruoqiang area, the annual rainfall is less than 15 mm! A year, the precipitation is less than 15 mm a year, Mr. Li, if you think about it, there is more Is this a drier place?”

What you are looking for is not necessarily drought.

What is looking for is the high direct sunlight rate!

Low rainfall means high direct sunlight, and at the same time, the climate is bound to stabilize. It’s stable!

The place they are looking for must meet several conditions: First, low rainfall. Second, the direct sunlight rate is high. Third, the climate is stable. Fourth, there will be no windy weather. Fifth, sparsely populated.

The Tarim Basin is fully qualified! NS.
