Although reading and writing are called elevators, the base of this elevator is much wider than that of ordinary tall buildings.★ However, even so, the length of more than 30,000 kilometers makes the vertically suspended elevator look slender like a noodle.

Taking a warship of Star Ring Trade, Jiang Chen boarded the sea base station of the space elevator.

Not long after he left the port, the group walked towards him.

"We succeeded!"

When Jiang Chen returned to reality and saw Kerwin's first face, this arrogant middle-aged old man was as excited as a child, holding his hand.

On the contrary, Jiang Chen seemed more steady. Compared to the excitement of witnessing the birth of a wonder and the excitement of leaving a name for history, he felt more relieved of getting what he wanted and a distant future.

“Yes, we succeeded.”

After letting go of Kelwin's hand, Jiang Chen looked up at the space elevator, suddenly looked at the technical director standing next to Kelwin and asked.

"If I wanted to engrave a line of words on the bottom of a space elevator, what pen is better?"

The technical director was stunned for a moment, then said, "Just just use a laser welding gun."

"Help me get a laser welding gun."

Although I didn't know what the chairman was paying attention, the technical director still winked at the engineer next to him. Soon, a five or six pound laser welding gun weighing five or six pounds was handed to Jiang Chen's hand. Jiang Chen took it and held it in his hand and weighed it. He was amazed at the technical director Kerrwenhe who was standing next to him.

The chairman's strength in his hand was much greater than it seemed to be able to hold the five or six pounds of welding gun in his hand.

Walking to the space elevator, Jiang Chen pressed the switch of the welding gun, and used the spear head with dazzling white light to carve a line of square simplified Chinese characters on the titanium alloy shell of the base of the space elevator.

Two steps back, Jiang Chen looked at the line of words he had carved and nodded with satisfaction.

"I know we can solve the next problem because we have solved all the problems that have occurred before." Kelvin, who had already learned, frowned and said that sentence over the years, looked at Jiang Chen and asked, "Is there any deep meaning of this sentence?"

"It's nothing, it's just a souvenir." Jiang Chen laughed, turned off the power supply of the welding gun, and threw the welding gun back into the engineer's arms, "Let's go, take me to see the elevator."

After entering the space elevator, Jiang Chen appreciated the entire space elevator track through the engineering holographic concept map displayed by Kerwin. There are six passenger tracks in total, three of which pass upwards and the other three pass downwards. The track will be replaced after the carriage arrives at the terminal.

Because of the single-track unidirectional design, multiple vehicles can be operated on one track at the same time. It can be foreseen that in the not-far future, aerospace activities will inevitably be quite frequent. People take space elevators to the outer space, and will even be as convenient as we are now on high-speed rail.

This design is also a plan to prepare for future congestion in rail transit in the future.

After the visit, Jiang Chen directly enjoyed lunch with the senior management of the aerospace launch center, including Kerwin, in the canteen on the sea platform. At the dinner table, Jiang Chen asked Kerwin about the progress of the asteroid capture plan.

"The work of weaving the net is going very smoothly, but the orbital change progresses slowly than expected," Kerrwin put down the fork in his hand and said with a puzzled look. "Although the calculation center has accurately calculated the orbit of the asteroid, there are still certain difficulties in how to ensure the degree and orbit of the asteroid at the same time with current technical means. Every addition of the traction rocket is very critical, and even if it is a wrong step, it must be recalculated."

"But Benu asteroid has not left us much time. In mid-January, the asteroid will be farther and farther away from us. If you want to catch it, you have to wait six years later." The head of the asteroid capture program project sitting next to Kerwin interrupted.

There will be so many difficulties that Jiang Chen expects. He can bring back technical data from the distant era from the end of the world, but he cannot help these scientists and technicians digest these epoch-making technologies. Even in the 22nd century, asteroid mining is a cutting-edge discipline.

“Deploy explosives on an asteroid to make sure that if it suddenly gets out of control, we can at least blow it up outside the atmosphere.”

"We're already doing it," Kelwin said seriously. "We deployed 2.5 tons of t.nt equivalents of explosives on the Benu asteroid. If there is a mistake in the orbit, the remaining fuel of the rocket thruster is not enough to escape the capture of the Earth's gravity, and we can detonate it into meteorite fragments as it approaches the dispersion layer."

After lunch, Jiang Chen arrived at the space launch center by boat with Kerrwin.

The shooting site originally used to shoot rockets was idle after the space elevator was completed. The transport ships that traveled between the earth and the moon have been designed and have now entered the experimental stage. Currently, supply is sent to the lunar colony, and the second-stage rocket of Star Ring 4 is directly sent to the space elevator to the synchronous orbit, and then added to the earth and the moon transfer orbit.

The cost of traveling to and from the moon was cut by 60% due to the direct saving of first-stage rockets and fuel pushed to outer space. Star Ring Trade is studying the feasibility of expanding the scale of the moon's colonies. If the plan is finally implemented, Star Ring Trade will send another 10 colonists to the moon.

Just as Jiang Chen finished inspecting the situation at the Moon Colonial Base, a phone call came to his watch.

After clicking on the watch and answering the phone, Xia Shiyu's voice immediately appeared in Jiang Chen's ears.

“Our guests arrived.”

"Oh? Is it a guest from China or Russia? Or is it from Washington?" Jiang Chen asked with a happy look.

"It was a guest from China. They had already got off the plane at the Koro City Airport. The Minister of Commerce and Foreign Affairs of Xinguo have already gone to pick it up. The other party's purpose is very clear, and I hope to talk to us about the space elevator."

Jiang Chen clicked on the holographic screen and looked at the time. It was already past five o'clock.

"Since they are coming from afar, let them take a day off first. By the way, have they contacted their place to live?"

"They have booked a room at the Hilton Hotel in the Heart of the Ocean and are now on their way to the hotel." Xia Shiyu replied.

"Then let's do it."

After saying that, Jiang Chen hung up the phone and turned his attention to Kerwin.

"Have the nuclear fusion motor unit been sent to the lunar colony?"

"Yes, in the newly built power station, one of the nuclear fusion motors has been put into use to replace solar energy to power the lunar colonies. In order to meet the needs of nuclear power stations, we need to build a heavy water plant to produce the deuterium needed for fusion reactions."

"Don't worry about this, I need you to prepare a report to me before tomorrow afternoon."

"Report? What report?" Kerwin looked at Jiang Chen in confusion.
