Chapter 1573

The celebration of the ignition day came to an end. However, the excitement burning in people's hearts did not cool down at all, but was pushed to a new peak.

Space elevator!

This magnificent project, originally only existed in people's imagination, has never been thought that one day in the future, it will really enter into their lives.

Now it seems that the day will come soon.

No matter what other viewers in front of the TV set think, at least for those in the stadium, there is little doubt that the land boat is joking with them.

After all, just three days ago, they sat here and witnessed that miracle with their eyes. I'm afraid that the shock brought by the aurora that covers the night sky of the whole city group will not be simply forgotten in this life.

What's more, even the second generation of controllable fusion can't stop him? What is a space elevator?

They are willing to believe in his ability and vision.

Even now, it's very much like a pie

Bustling crowds poured out of venues in the heart of Asia, diverted by staff and security to direct light rail stations and parking lots.

Although they couldn't hear everyone in the crowd talking excitedly, the expression on their faces had written all they wanted to say.

Standing in front of the floor to floor window of the heart of Asia lounge, looking at the surging crowd downstairs, Li Guangya's mouth slightly raised a trace of complacent arc.

Hearing the footsteps coming from behind, he put his hand behind him and smiled at the reflection projected on the French window.

"Do you see the expression on people's faces?"

When he got to his side, Lu Zhou took a look at the square outside the landing window and returned with a casual tone.

"See, what's the matter?"

"Nothing, just some emotion," Li Guangya continued, squinting his eyes. "In the Council report five years ago, I reported on the strategic significance of the space elevator, but the attitude of the vast majority of council members was ridiculed. Although I didn't do this to prove anything, I have to admit that it was a pleasant feeling. "

Lu Zhou looked at him and asked.

"I don't really understand one thing."

"What point?"

"Why are you so attached to the space elevator?"

"On the one hand, it may be because of feelings," Li Guangya continued with a smile and a pause in a serious tone. "On the other hand, because I have read a paper Or research report. "

"Report?"

"Well, about the exploitation and utilization value of the resources outside the asteroid belt."

In simple language, Li Guangya and Lu Zhou described the contents of the research report.

As we all know, since the industrial system of Mars colony developed and matured, the frontier of human civilization has expanded from the orbit of Mars to the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

A large number of high-purity ores provided by asteroid belt, which are cheap and easy to use, support the huge heavy industry system on Mars, and provide a continuous supply of living materials and consumer goods for the society on earth.

However, since the expansion of human civilization to the asteroid belt, the natural expansion of this territory seems to have stopped.

At the beginning, many sociological scholars and experts gave the view that their society fell into the trap of over prosperity after developing to an unprecedented stage of prosperity, because there was no survival crisis, leading to the loss of the driving force of the whole society.

However, that research report gives different opinions.

It interprets this special social phenomenon from an unprecedented angle.

Based on the fact that efficiency and economic value are the fundamental driving forces of all social activities, the study established a simple mathematical model and came up with a concept called "effective economic zone".

That is, within the scope of this effective economic zone, human social activities have positive economic effects. However, once beyond this range, the economic effect will decrease with distance, sailing time and other factors.

The scale of the effective economic zone is usually determined by many factors such as technical strength, industrial scale and distribution area. At present, the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter is the boundary of the "effective economic zone".

The world outside the small planetary belt mines resources, sends them to Mars for processing, and then transports the processed products back to the earth. The supply chain beyond the scope of the effective economic zone will be unprofitable because of the cost problem, so few enterprises will put the world outside the asteroid belt into their own plans after the cost estimation.

As the author of this research report is a well-known economics professor of the Pan Asian Academy of Sciences, it is still very influential in the field. Although Li Guangya is not born to study finance, he believes that the future of Pan Asian cooperation is far away in space, and has been paying attention to this aspect of research.After reading the research report, the idea of building a space elevator came to his mind.

At present, the over prosperous Pan Asian cooperation has begun to show signs of involution. Not only are the people content with the status quo, but the whole society has lost the driving force of progress.

As an ambitious young man, he can't wait for this great alliance to be overtaken by other emerging alliances, and their great goal of building a community of shared future for mankind has not been achieved.

Pan Asian cooperation needs a super project that can drive the regional economy, expand the scope of the effective economic zone, and enable its citizens to recover their pride and pride.

The space elevator, no doubt, is such a great choice.

Even if he made this decision, he was not the president of Pan Asian cooperation at that time, which did not prevent him from including the "wood building plan" in his ruling program in advance.

What he is determined to do, he will do it!

"I have to thank you for that," said Li Guangya with a smile after glancing at the boat. "If it wasn't the right time for you to wake up, I bet those people would have labeled me a lunatic."

Lu Zhou replied in a careless tone.

"You're welcome. It's just a few words. It's much easier than the big trouble on Ceres By the way, can I help you with the follow-up design? "

I didn't expect that Lu Zhou, who was always afraid of trouble, offered to help.

Li Guangya is slightly stunned, then says with a smile.

"It's best if you can help! If I'm not free, I don't ask for it. As we said, you are very grateful for your help when necessary. "

The boat gave him an unexpected look.

"It seems that you were ready a long time ago."

"Of course," said Li Guangya with a confident smile, "when I was the vice president of the Council, I was preparing for this day."

That was five or six years ago.

At that time, the research of space elevator was not paid attention to, after all, the key material problem was not solved, and it was also a castle in the air. Therefore, neither academia nor industry has taken this as a project that can be realized in a short time.

If he hadn't approved more than one billion credit points and implemented them in the field of space elevator design, and then used the administrative force to integrate the technical backbone of the top research institutions such as the Institute of orbital engineering and the Institute of aerospace facilities design of the Pan Asian Academy of Sciences, and set up the initial research and development team of the space elevator project, now I'm afraid that I have to worry about not getting off the pot.

Now the problem of materials has finally been solved, and Li Guangya is full of confidence in realizing his dream.

Although I'm curious about where this guy came from, I'm confident that everything will be so smooth, but I didn't say much about it. It's just a simple place to look down.

"Now that you are ready in advance, I can rest assured."

The system does not stipulate its participation in the project. As long as the ladder to space is built on earth, his promotion mission will be completed.

If he can, of course, he hopes that they can rely on their own strength to complete this grand super project, rather than relying on their own ancestors for everything.

Although he has gained endless time, it doesn't mean that his time is not worth money.

But in fact, when you think about it, they still win a lot.

After all, I have solved the most critical material problem for them.

The rest of the questions should not be big, right?
