Chapter 781 Breakthrough in Carbon Nanostructure

On the phone, Xu You expressed his thoughts to Xu Zhou.

Because the distance between Blue Star and the moon is 380,000 kilometers, there will be some delay in the transmission of information.

Fortunately, this will not have much impact on the conversation between the two.

After listening to Xu You's thoughts, Xu Zhou nodded and said:

"I understand what you mean, but this is indeed a very difficult problem to solve. The materials used to make space elevators must meet the two conditions of high strength and low density at the same time in order to cope with the strong gravity and centrifugal force. This kind of material,

Only carbon nanotubes fit the bill."

Xu Zhou quickly gave Xu You suggestions based on his years of research.

In fact, Xu You was also prepared for this direction, but Xu You knew that with Blue Star's current research on carbon nanotubes, it would be impossible to build a space elevator that could go from Blue Star to the moon.

Thinking of this, Xu You continued to ask Xu Zhou:

"Dad, with the current technology of Blue Star, how high can the carbon nanotubes produced by the carbon nanotubes be used to build a space elevator?"

Xuzhou thought for a while and said:

"With the current technical level of Blue Star, there is no problem in manufacturing a space elevator with tens of thousands of kilometers. Such a space elevator is mainly used for transportation between Blue Star and the space station. But if you want to go to the moon

If so, it is absolutely impossible.”

Xu Zhou gave Xu You a possible direction based on his own experience, but this would not solve too many problems.

Xu Zhou made a simple calculation and gave Xu You's preliminary conclusion.

After all, there is no cost to pay for this experience activity. After the experience, you only need to fill in some feelings about the living experience, suggestions for improvement, and shoot some recorded videos.

…………

"Because the underground shelter on the moon has been built, let's go there and experience it. Anyway, we may actually move to the moon later."

Since there were so many netizens who participated in the first batch of reservations, only a few netizens were randomly selected and finally went to the moon to participate in the experience of the lunar underground shelter.

Even after the experience time is over, many people are still not satisfied and want to extend the experience time again.

This also makes people's willingness to participate in the lunar underground shelter very strong.

Xu Zhou's words were filled with worry, and Xu You then remembered that he had been to the moon so many times before, but Xu Zhou didn't know about it even once.

"So that's it. No wonder the call just now, I always felt that there was a serious signal delay. You must pay attention to safety over there, after all, the moon is not as good as the Blue Star..."

Xu Zhou asked Xu You about various safety matters. After Xu You listened to a few words, he quickly stopped Xu Zhou's words.

Of course, this has no impact on people like Lou Song who study pure mathematical theory.

You know, just a dozen years ago, there were only a handful of humans who could go to the moon.

"Is there any other direction in which it is possible for carbon nanotubes to greatly increase their strength while keeping their density basically unchanged?"

The projects Xu Zhou is researching are very important, and being constantly distracted is definitely not conducive to his research.

Xu Zhou was a little surprised when he heard the news that Xu You was on the moon.

After all, if it is actually implemented, the amount of work involved is too great, and it is very likely that no results will be achieved at all in the end.

"Okay, let's discuss it face to face when we have time. I'm on the moon during this period, and will return to Blue Star after a while."

After listening to the answer given by Xu Zhou, Xu You thought for a while and continued:

But after all, the technical difficulty of building a space elevator from Blue Star to the moon is too great, and it is not a problem that can be solved with the current technical level.

The reason why Xu You didn't tell Xu Zhou this was because he was afraid that Xu Zhou would worry about him. After all, Xu Zhou's psychological endurance was far inferior to Wu Jing's. Xu You didn't seem to have Xu Zhou worry about him all the time.

…………

But now, these ordinary people have got such an opportunity, which naturally makes them feel very excited.

As expected, when they actually arrived at the lunar underground shelter, they were very satisfied with the life here.

"Okay, I understand. I have other things to do, so I won't say more for now. We'll talk about it after Blue Star."

Although carbon nanotube technology has made a huge leap forward compared to before, it is possible for the idea of ​​a space elevator to become a reality.

After finishing the lunar underground shelter experience, Xu You and others returned to Blue Star on the Shenniao space fighter.

At the beginning of the reservation, a large number of netizens filled out applications for going to the moon to participate in the lunar underground shelter experience.

"Why did you suddenly go to the moon? It's quite dangerous there."

Everyone felt that this experience was very good. The only shortcoming was that some experimental equipment was not moved over so that experiments could not be carried out like in school.

After Xu You and others lived in the lunar underground shelter, their life on the moon was recorded through some live broadcast platforms or video platforms.

After several days of training, these lucky netizens took aerospace fighter jets and other aircraft to the moon.

"Well...unless it is to fundamentally change the structure of carbon nanotubes and break the constraints of the previous nanostructure. As for how to specifically design its structure, there is too much knowledge involved."

"Well, that's fine. I happen to need to go to Jijing in a while. We can have a detailed chat in person then."

Xu You did not delay the progress of the experiments because of this, because all experiments in the Jijing University laboratory were ongoing, and the latest progress was reported to Xu You at any time.

After people saw their life on the moon, many felt very envious of this kind of life, which far exceeded their expectations for the underground shelter on the moon.

But this at least brought a possibility to Xu You, which allowed Xu You to retain a hope in his heart.

Xu You can also use his special abilities to perform brain simulations in his mind to supplement real experimental data.

The air and space fighter plane landed smoothly at Jijing International Airport. After getting off the plane, Xu You immediately called Xu Zhou.

After all, this matter is very important, related to the space transportation capability from Blue Star to the moon, Xu You must put it at a higher priority.

After more than ten seconds, the call was connected.
