Infrastructure: Start to Repair The Elevator in Mount Everest

Chapter 234

Li Qi hurriedly asked: “When can it be launched?”

The staff said in a deep voice: “The modification time will take 25 hours.”

“Launch in twenty-five hours!”

Li Qi squeezed his fist: “Okay, you guys get ready.”

After speaking, Li Qi quickly walked to the side and called Li Yue:

“Hey?”

“boss.,”

“The specifications of our first rope can be raised to 8.5 cm. Quickly, make it out immediately, 8.5 cm!”

On the other side of the phone, Li Yue quickly asked: “After making it bold, you will gain weight.”

“They changed the Long March No. 5!”

Then, Li Qi communicated what happened in Jiuquan to Li Yue. Li Yue was ecstatic: “Ah, this way, our success rate is even greater!”

The first rope can be thickened, and the fool knows what it means. This will mean that the first time success rate will be very high.

At 5 cm, the success rate may be only 40%.

And now, at 8.5 cm, the success rate may directly soar by 70%.

This success rate does not mean the success rate of rocket launches. Nor is it the success rate of falling.

But to say! The success rate of using the space elevator of the first rope to launch the second rope upwards!

If the diameter is too small, it will break easily or cause a series of accidents.

But if the diameter is thicker, although it is only a centimeter, the possibility of it breaking will drop linearly. This is definitely good news.

“I know the boss, how much time do we have?”

“They will complete the renovation in 25 hours. We have 24 hours to complete it and deliver it to Jiuquan.”

Li Yue pondered: “Guaranteed to complete the task!”

“…”

After arranging these things, Director Li also started to act. Start sending excavators to dig a huge swimming pool.

Director Li said while directing people:

“Because of the limitation of weight, we can’t electroplate a layer of flame-retardant material on the aluminum-magnesium alloy cable. Moreover, it must remain soft. Most of the flame-retardant materials cannot be over-folded. As for insulation tiles, Nor is it suitable for cables. It’s too bulky, and time is too late.””

“So we have to use a flame-retardant colloid, which will fill the pool at that time. Then the aluminum-magnesium alloy cable is soaked in the colloid, and each section is coated with enough light-weight colloid. After it dries, it will have a certain degree of resistance. High temperature performance.”

Li Qi asked: “Will the aluminum-magnesium alloy… melt during the fall?”

“No. The melting point of aluminum-magnesium alloy is very high. Spacecraft use aluminum alloy. Although it will not be melted, the tensile strength and other properties of aluminum-magnesium alloy will definitely be reduced to varying degrees at high temperatures. This flame-retardant material can help a little bit.”

“Then leave it to Director Li!”

“Go ahead and do your job. See you tomorrow.”

“See you tomorrow!”

“At this time tomorrow, maybe we will be standing in the monitoring room…”

Li Qi was stunned, and laughed loudly: “I’m looking forward to it!”

“…”

deal!

Twenty-five hours later, the Long March 5 was launched.

The first rope of mankind will appear in space.

Thirty hours later, the first rope of mankind will fall from space.

Thirty-five hours later, mankind’s first steel cable connecting heaven and earth will be erected in this world!

And just a few minutes later, Li Qi, who had left Jiuquan, heard a message again:

“Li Qi. The situation has changed.”

Li Qi became nervous: “What?”

“Mathematicians and astronauts have calculated that twenty-five hours later is not the best time to launch.”

“The best time is…”

“Twenty hours later, at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon, is the best time to launch. If you miss the best time, you have to wait for the next ecliptic plane to meet the requirements. This time is… two months later!”

“Twenty hours!”

“Yes. Strictly speaking, it is only eighteen hours. Because the remaining two hours require rocket testing and preparatory work.”

hiss–

Li Qi took a deep breath and drew in the teeth.

Twenty-five hours was already tense enough, but now it has been compressed to 18 hours! ?

“I see……”

He hung up the phone a little heavy, and Li Qi sat on the helicopter in deep thought for a long time.

Dialed the phone.

The first call was made to Li Yue:

“Eighteen hours! Experts have calculated that 3:30 tomorrow afternoon is the best time to launch. Missed it, we have to wait a month!”

“what!!”

“Li Yue, within eighteen hours, you can do everything you can. To mobilize all the power that can be mobilized, the cable must be completed and transported to Jiuquan at the same time! Within eighteen hours!”

On the other side of the phone, Li Yue was silent for a long, long time this time.

His brain was calculating the possibilities frantically.

Has been silent.

After being silent for nearly ten minutes, Li Yue said:

“｀ ¨Good! I will find a way!”

Hung up the phone.

Li Qi called Li Ming in Tarim again: “Hey, boss.”

“Twenty hours!”

“what?”

“Within twenty hours, the foundation pit and all the construction in Tarim will be completed!”

“what?”

Li Ming was shocked: “The speed of construction is definitely okay. But there are problems with the roads, the roads are not well repaired, and a large number of engineering equipment can’t be shipped in. There are also materials, which are bulk materials… The most important thing is to return. There must be a tractor. After the rope falls, it needs to be pulled by the tractor!”

“The time is only twenty hours. Tomorrow 3:30 pm is the best time to launch the Long March 5. If you miss this time period, you need to wait another two months before you can wait for the ecliptic plane and the (money) earth rotation angle. I can’t tell the specifics about the fit. In short, this opportunity should not be missed.”

“Twenty hours…”

Li Ming took a deep breath. Twenty hours are spent on the completion of the construction, the rest, the launch time, and the time to drop the cable, this time period, you have to wait for the quick-drying cement to dry quickly…

This time the task is unprecedentedly heavy!

Although it was a race against time before moving mountains and reclaiming the sea. But at that time, you can have flexibility, and you can be sure of success.

But this time, the competition is not the number of days. It’s the time in seconds!

aviation……

Aviation has never been so!

Li Ming took a deep breath and stood in the dry desert of Tarim. He glanced at 10,000 people digging the foundation with shovels, and a bitter taste flashed in his eyes:

“Yes, boss!”

“Within twenty hours, guarantee to complete task 1”

“…”.
