Chapter 1874 Space Elevator?

Although Jiuzhou Technology has always had a positive attitude towards the cooperation projects with Daxia officials, the current situation is different from the past. Some cooperation cannot be directly connected.

After the other people in the experimental conference room understood the background and relevant information of these people, Gu Qing was still thinking: "At this juncture, the real elites of Daxia Institute of Science and Technology have come out. It seems that Daxia officials have also noticed something wrong. During this period, Taoyao's activation and drinking situation in these top elite circles has also been slowly decreasing.

These people seem to be difficult to fool. We have to think of a way to continue to be good to each other. Although Uncle Sam's pawns are working hard, they are still too slow. We can't let them focus on this."

Jiuzhou Technology's every move is no longer as simple as global attention. If it weren't for Gu Qing's strong demand to hold the shares in his own hands, Daxia officials would have invested trillions of funds in Jiuzhou Technology.

It is precisely because of Gu Qing's strong control over Jiuzhou Technology that Jiuzhou Technology is still a serious private enterprise.

After thinking for a while, Gu Qing said, "How about this, Xinghai Company, you don't have to hide it, communicate with them well, I think it's not impossible to invite them to the space station and the moon landing project. In addition to the core data, everything else can be opened to them in a limited way.

If Daxia Science and Technology Institute and Aerospace Group want to deepen cooperation with us on behalf of the government, then we can do it under the framework of the Lunar Development Science and Technology Association. As long as they can afford the money and resources, our space elevator project may really be implemented.

Oh, by the way, do you have enough chefs in the cafeteria of Xinghai Company? We have several chefs in the No. 1 cafeteria who are very good. It's okay to borrow one or two chefs' team to you."

Zhou Yi saw Li Jian nodding, and he agreed, "Mr. Gu, you have considered it carefully, so we will arrange it this way. "

Li Jian, former head of the aerospace department of Jiuzhou Technology and one of the chief engineers of the lunar landing project, also said after careful consideration: "The space elevator project is a big deal, and nanomaterials are beyond our ability to mass-produce alone. The resources on the moon can meet the needs, but the cost of transporting materials is too high. The government can come to add fuel, and it will definitely protect the space elevator project from interference from other forces.

But there is a problem. If the cooperation is carried out under the framework of the Lunar Development Science and Technology Association, the Daxia government only provides money and resources, and the technical engineer team has little influence. Then the main control of the subsequent project operation is still in our hands, and the Daxia government only has similar dividends and income rights. Will the people of Daxia Science and Technology Institute and Aerospace Group agree? "

Li Jian chose to resign because he was unwilling to continue to be colleagues with this group of people.

Although some misunderstandings have been resolved in the exchanges over the years, he still has many concerns about this large-scale cooperation.

When the other engineers and scientists in the room heard this, they also had their own thoughts.

A cable that can reach tens of thousands of kilometers must not only withstand the friction of the cargo car of the space elevator, but also withstand the shaking up and down, left and right, front and back, and at the same time, it must always withstand the pulling and destruction of various forces. The strength of this material, even the strongest nano-nano material currently trial-produced in the laboratory of Jiuzhou Technology, is only barely qualified in theory.

However, the manufacturing cost of this material is more expensive than gold.

Zhang Tianhao suddenly said: "The space elevator technology project, even with the official support of Daxia, should not be solved within five years, and in addition to the material project, there are other reasons that affect the manufacturing of the space elevator.

The space elevator needs a stable ceiling to hang the nano-material rope. We must first establish a permanent lunar base on the moon. According to the current technological achievements, this is not difficult.

But this permanent lunar base also needs a stable lunar ecosystem, otherwise we really have to rely on robots and intelligent AI to control the lunar base?"

The question raised by Zhang Tianhao made many engineers and scientists bow their heads.

Because this is the current key research project in the laboratory-the stability and evolution of artificial intelligence AI.

There is actual data to prove that Xiezhi and Tiangong are evolving. Although the evolutionary direction of these two AIs seems to be excellent, this is also an unknown threat!

With the current intelligent manufacturing technology of Jiuzhou Technology, if artificial intelligence AI really awakens anti-human and anti-social personality cognition, it will definitely be a disaster sweeping the world, and even "Smart Machine Crisis" may become a reality.

After Zhang Tianhao raised the question, someone soon said: "To build a building, it must depend on the pressure resistance and ductility resistance of the building materials.

The ideal material most suitable for building such an elevator should be light and strong, which is the laboratory material we all think of at present-carbon nanotube fiber.

Carbon nanotube fiber is a carbon compound whose molecular chain is arranged in a long tube. It is more than 100 times stronger than steel. But its strength is still not enough, and the nanomaterials developed simultaneously with the new materials collected from the moon, although its material strength has a good performance in the process of the spiritual realm experiment.

But everyone also knows that this is just a spiritual realm experiment, and all aspects of the establishment are relatively peaceful and safe.

Without war, earthquakes, meteorites, or electromagnetic storms, the score is barely available under the condition of ensuring continuous stability of energy and materials, high strength, and low loss.

And this kind of carbon nanotubes also faces a big problem. Extending them to 150,000 km is not only a difficult engineering and material science challenge, but also many unexpected problems may arise, such as what equipment and process should we use to merge so many nanomaterial fibers?

Our latest research shows that the combined force of the cable after the material is merged is not as good as the sum of the tension of multiple single fibers!

In addition to the material problem of the cable that cannot be solved for the time being, there is another big problem that must be solved, that is, after the framework of the space elevator is built, how can we transport items to the moon stably and frequently?

For example, if there is 10,000kg of cargo, the energy we need to provide is at least about 5.3×10^13J. There is no doubt that ordinary electricity and solar energy cannot support frequent transportation, and the materials for transporting cargo boxes also require high-strength materials. "
