Chapter 293 Space Elevator Cable Test(1/2)

ing

After Honglian finished making the gaming helmet, Tang Rui played games in the laboratory for more than two hours.

How to say it.

Putting a game played on a console into a virtual reality world is pure nonsense.

The final level of Ace Combat.

There is a long tunnel to go through.

In the real world, if you have all three gates closed and a hammer flies, you will just wait to die.

But in the game, it can indeed be set like this.

But it’s very uncomfortable to do this in the virtual reality world.

"Honglian, delete the game and redesign a game that is closer to reality and simulates actual combat."

"Okay, Master, Honglian understands."

Put down the gaming helmet.

Tang Rui called Lin Chao and told him about Tang Yue.

He didn't even need to say specific requirements.

The Air Force will definitely make arrangements.

In a blink of an eye.

The college entrance examination is over.

Tang Rui accompanied his two younger sisters to take the college entrance examination, and then took them to play for two days before going back to get down to business.

"Guren, have the cables for the space elevator been built?"

"Master, one has been built so far."

"Send a message to Mogadishu and tell them that I will go there soon to test the cable and let them prepare."

"Okay, Master."

After Tang Rui finished speaking, he put on his anti-Dutch suit and boarded the mecha.

Although it is okay for him to go abroad now, he still likes to be more steady.

Therefore, he wants to drive the mecha over.

When Tang Rui entered the mecha, the dome of the newly built production workshop opened, and a unique flat-panel aircraft slowly took off from the production workshop.

This flat-panel aircraft looks like a sand-carrying boat on the river. It is flat on the bottom and flat on the top. It looks like a thinner brick.

Tang Rui controlled the mecha to take off and stood on the flat-bed aircraft.

"Red Lotus, let's go."

"Okay, Master."

Despite Tang Rui's order, the eight high-power electric propulsion engines behind the aircraft started.

"Why does it feel like flying with a sword, but this sword is a bit ugly." Only then did he realize that there was something wrong with the shape.

But compared to flying the mecha directly.

He still chose to go there with the aircraft, at least it wouldn't be a hassle.

The other side.

After receiving the news, Mogadishu immediately began final inspections of the base of the space elevator.

The entire foundation alone required 1,500 meters of digging.

3,600 super-strong alloy steel columns were buried as fixed frames.

Then special cement is poured, and finally a huge steel base is covered.

The entire project was completed by China State Construction Engineering Corporation.

But the equipment and steel are all provided by Tang Rui.

"Academician Tang, welcome your visit and guidance."

"You're welcome, how is the base doing now?" After Tang Rui arrived, he looked at the huge construction site around him and asked.

"Currently, the base of the space elevator is 65 percent complete, and the base of the freight elevator is fully completed."

"Okay, let's test the cable first."

After Tang Rui finished speaking, he asked Honglian to control the aircraft to land.

After landing.

The rear engine part of the aircraft automatically detaches, exposing the internal cable joints and connectors.

The connection of the cable is not just a matter of tying a rope to the base.

In order to cope with the super stretching ability when using the space elevator, there is also the deflection angle of the outer space airport.

One kilometer of redundancy should be reserved for the cables at the base.

Once the strong tensile data reaches the red line, the cable at the base will be released outward.

If the cable starts to wobble, the base will need to be retracted.

Simply put.

You can think of this device on the base as flying a kite, but this one is flying a space station.

Installation of the cable is very quick.

During the design, all the expected interfaces and equipment were installed. Tang Rui installed the connectors and that was it.

Then, the engine part of the aircraft is assembled again.

Then the entire aircraft changed from horizontal to vertical and began to fly into outer space.

At the tail of the aircraft, a cable is connected.

Tang Rui grabbed the cable and flew towards outer space with the aircraft, which was equivalent to a burden.

Ten minutes later.

The aircraft arrived in geostationary orbit, which is 36,000 kilometers away.

After arriving here, the aircraft stopped stably on the orbit and moved synchronously with the earth.

Tang Rui controlled the mecha, grabbed the other end of the cable, and continued flying towards the high orbit.

When the cable was straightened, he stopped.

"Honglian, what's the current data?" Tang Rui grabbed the cable and asked Honglian about the data.

"Master, the current tensile strength of the cable is 72GPa, and the real-time fluctuation value is 3-11GPa."

"What is the stable data difference in the middle layer?"

"0.17-0.21."

"Next I will conduct tests and record data."

"Okay, Master."

After Tang Rui finished speaking, he controlled the arm of the mecha and began to shake the cable.

Shake the cable from the sky more than 50,000 kilometers away.

The energy transfer will multiply geometrically when it reaches the surface. If the ground below cannot handle it, it will be the end of the world.

Tang Rui looked at the real-time data in front of him.

As he shook the cable, the green part on the cable began to turn yellow, and occasionally some parts of it would turn red.

Red represents the warning line.

Once the numerical fluctuation exceeds the warning line, it means that the cable's endurance has reached its limit.

But under normal circumstances, no one would play with the cable in space. This is just an extreme test.

Buzz buzz...

When the energy is transmitted to the base below, the entire base trembles at high frequency.

But after shaking for a while, it returned to normal.

"Honglian, what was the most dangerous value just now?" Tang Rui asked.

Although he kept staring at the screen, the data changed so fast that he couldn't see it at all.

"Master, the latest value just now is 288GPa, which is only 12GPa away from the warning line."

Tang Rui nodded after listening and then moved on to the next test.

He started the mecha's engine, grabbed the cable, and pulled hard, as if he was trying to uproot the cable.
