Chapter 797 A better choice
Wei Xu smiled and didn't feel anything at all because of Qin Dao's words. Instead, he winked at Qin Xiao and said.
"Commander Qin Zong, since you know who they are, you should also know their work."
At this time, Xiao Yan and Wang Ben also looked at each other, smiled slightly and looked at Qin Xiao without saying anything.
This sentence really surprised Qin Xiao, but he quickly thought about it and said.
"I kind of forgot, but I remember that Mr. Wang Ben was in the offshore fishing industry and had many fishing boats.
Qin Xiao was a little confused as to what he needed to do to meet this man who made a living by fishing.
Although the other party is indeed very profitable and rich, it does not seem to be linked to his current scientific research project.
But Wei Xu is not an aimless person. Since he can bring these two people here, he must have his own ideas, but I don't know what his plan is.
At this time, Wang Ben stopped making any further remarks, took a step forward, and said respectfully to Qin Xiao.
"Commander Qin said this. I had a fishing boat over 200 meters long that went deep into the Antarctic. I originally wanted to go there to replenish the sardines in the cold zone, but I didn't expect that I saw a large fish at a location in the Antarctic. A flat piece of land."
"I heard that Commander-in-Chief Qin was looking for the closest place to build a space elevator. I thought that location might be a more suitable place."
Qin Xiao never expected that the good news would come from the mouth of a fisherman.
It seems that although these scientists have racked their brains, their unfamiliarity with the geographical environment still makes them lag behind these people who have been drifting on the sea all year round.
As for the location he mentioned, Qin Xiao quickly found it on the globe. After careful calculation, Qin Xiao found that this location was actually more perfect than the equator.
It's perfect to go there, mainly because the equator is relatively close to the middle of outer space.
But the equator also needs to overcome the factor of the earth's rotation, because once the earth rotates, the rotation speed of the space elevator will be very high.
Although you can't feel anything on the earth, the speed in outer space is actually dozens of times faster than the speed of sound.
If this is true, the service life of the space elevator will definitely be affected.
But it is different in the Antarctic or the North Pole, because it is too close to the central axis of the earth, so there, the space elevator does not exist and can be rotated like an iron chain.
It has only one directional rotation of its own.
Although this rotation speed is also very fast, it is much smaller than on the driveway.
When Qin Xiao discovered this, he slapped his forehead and suddenly realized that he had ignored the most important thing.
"Oh my god, how could I forget this? It's really, really damning."
When Wei Xu saw Qin Xiao's expression, he didn't know what Qin Xiao was thinking. He immediately looked surprised and hurried over to ask.
"What's wrong with Mr. Qin? Doesn't this method work?"
Qin Xiao shook his head directly.
At the same time, his face showed excitement.
"This method is quite good, really quite good. What I regret is why I didn't think of it before."
Hearing what Qin Xiao said, Wei Xu also showed a smile on his face, and said to Qin Xiao with a smile.
"If that's the case, can we rush over immediately and take a closer look?"
"Okay, you can arrange it right away. This time, bring all the scientists with you."
Wei Xu's personnel immediately followed Qin Dao's arrangements.
Soon all the scientists related to this research were called in front of Qin Xiao.
This time Qin Xiao really planned to examine the terrain carefully, and they also prepared a scientific research ship.
Of course, this scientific research ship is somewhat watery.
The main reason is that it is not used for scientific research at all, but a fishing boat.
It's just a little bigger. According to Wang Ben, this scientific research ship can be used as an icebreaker in Antarctica.
Qin Xiao embarked on a journey again, but this time Li Yuxin said she would not be with him anymore.
Compared with the last time, this trip was much easier.
Qin Xiao thought that this time it would be more or less troublesome as before.
But what he didn't expect was that this time when they arrived in Antarctica, everything went very smoothly. The land they saw was not built on glaciers, but was indeed a piece of land because it was a towering mountain range. The exposed part of the block is the top part of the mountain.
And it's extremely smooth.
When he got this news, Qin Xiao didn't know how to describe his mood for a moment.
It was as if this place was tailor-made for him by God.
Installing a space elevator here is more time-consuming and labor-saving than elsewhere.
Qin Xiao came here to finalize the land transfer and prepare for the construction of the space elevator.
A steady stream of equipment has been transported to the Antarctic. The only thing they have to overcome is the cold.
However, with a steady stream of financial support, the coldness of the Antarctic is nothing to them. Countless natural gases have been sent here. Using natural gas for heating can make the temperature difference reach 60 degrees.
The temperature outside Antarctica is minus 40 or 50 degrees Celsius.
The temperature inside the built houses can reach more than ten or twenty degrees.
Although it can't be said to be very warm, there is no problem for people to live there.
This is all done in a very quick time.
When Qin Xiao came here again, the first few floors of the plane elevator had been built, and the 100th floor was directly prefabricated.
By the time he got here, the space elevator had basically taken shape and he didn't need to worry about it anymore.
At this time, Qin Dao felt relieved.
There is no need for him to have any other thoughts and ideas now.
What he saw in front of him had become extremely simple.
The next step is to implement the Spider Web Plan.
The outgoing network plan is closely related to the space elevator, because if you want to build such a large network, the required materials must be transported to space continuously.
It would be a waste to push these things using rockets, because the consumables required are quite huge.
If you use a space elevator, it will become much simpler, and the calculation cost will be much less.
That’s actually what the space elevator is used for.
In the past 15 days, the space elevator has been built over 20,000 meters.
The reason why the speed is so fast is because Qin Xiao gave them new construction suggestions.
The real construction method of the space elevator is to use a helicopter to hoist enough large modules to stack them.
When the construction reaches a few thousand meters, a huge swing will occur, but when the construction reaches tens of thousands of meters, the amplitude of the swing becomes smaller.
The specific reason is that the upper floor of the elevator enters an area with thin oxygen. There is no wind here and the attraction of the earth becomes smaller, so the natural impact on the elevator becomes smaller.
After another 10 days passed and the elevator completely opened, the shaking in space completely disappeared.
On the top floor of the elevator, a huge base like a mushroom canopy was built.
This is connected to the elevator base on the ground, and everything is connected up and down through the elevator.
More importantly, the elevator made by Qin Xiao is not just a small elevator for adults. The elevator is 100 meters in diameter and has an octagonal shape.
It can load hundreds of tons of cargo at a time.
On the day when the elevator was successful, all the alliances on the planet were paying attention to the live broadcast.
Entering the school and taking the elevator to transport the first batch of goods directly into space took only about 20 minutes.
The round trip only took half an hour.
Although these hundreds of tons of cargo may not seem like much, in fact, if you make a web, you can complete 1% of the spider web.
When the elevator officially started running, everyone cheered.
All the Blue Star alliances worked together for the first time to complete a human feat.
After the first elevator was completed, Qin Xiao did not stop, but started building the second, third, and fourth elevators.
If this kind of 707 elevator wants to develop better, it needs a large number of elevators to be built.
Qin Xiao did not continue to stay at Blue Star, but took the elevator to the base outside Blue Star.
The base here can already dock with the transport ship, and channels for docking have been reserved.
Coming here, Qin Xiao looked at the vast universe, and he could finally start the biggest plan in his heart.
Webbing to create a space elevator is just part of his plan to complete this.
When these are completed, he can use endless materials to build his own starship in space.
This is his ultimate goal.
The size of energy-propelled aircraft in space is not affected by any gravity at all.
Theoretically, Qin Xiao can build these things to infinity.
As long as he wants to do it, he can be as big or small as he wants.
And if you want to push these things, no matter how huge the thing is, the thrust required will not be particularly severe.
It can be said that if everything goes well, only a little bit of power and a small engine can push the huge hull up.
In comparison, it is extremely material-saving.
Because there is no air resistance in space, there is no impact.
The only thing that needs attention is some small meteorites and debris that exist in space.
If these things hit the spacecraft, it will easily make a big hole in the spacecraft, so large spaceships are more likely to be hit by these things.
But there is also a very contradictory part here.
That is, the larger the spacecraft, the thicker the armor can be installed.
The thicker the armor, the better it can resist those small fragments.
Therefore, if the ship is built big enough to withstand it, it will be even more covered because it is too large.
The smaller the ship is, the less likely it will be covered, but once it is hit, the consequences will be disastrous.
Because armor cannot be added.
This contradictory situation has always troubled Qin Dao. He didn't think about it when he had time in the past, but now he can't and needs to think about it carefully. .
