Chapter 1579

In the conference room on the first floor of the Pan Asian Ministry of science and technology, there is a huge crowd.

The time of the meeting is getting closer and closer. However, academician Ge Huaizhi, sitting at the top of the conference table, has no intention of announcing the start of the meeting. He just looks back and forth at the watch and the door from time to time.

Seeing that it's about time, the assistant sitting next to him still hasn't calmed down after all, he said in a low voice.

"Academician ge It will start soon. "

"I know," he said impatiently. Academician Ge once again looked at the door and said casually, "what about academician Lu? Is he coming or not? "

There was a wry smile on the assistant's face and he said in a low voice.

"He In reply to our email, he said he would consider our invitation, but didn't seem to say definitely that he would come. "

What's this guy doing?

Such an important meeting, as the general consultant, I couldn't even come.

Although he knew that his academic status was not enough to criticize the big man, GE Huaizhi could not help sighing for his unreliability.

"Think about it? Look at this He probably won't come, "said academician Ge to his assistant, after a moment's silence, after a look at the full room, he lowered his voice, and still didn't give up." if you go outside, in case he can't find a place You bring him here. "

Hearing this, the assistant's face raised a wry smile, but he didn't say anything, just nodded his head, and then walked towards the meeting room.

Seeing his assistant's back, until the door of the conference room was closed again, academician Ge sighed and turned his eyes to the bustling conference room.

He reached out his knuckles and knocked hard on the table, waiting for the meeting room to be a little quiet before he said in a serious voice.

"The outline of the meeting has been sent out. Here I'll make a long story short."

"This meeting is very important. I hope you can play a spirit of 120 points."

"Now, the meeting begins."

As we all know, although the name of the space elevator has two words, it is not the same as the elevator that people often understand. This kind of elevator is not built from the bottom up, but from the top down.

In other words, a relatively stable area of geological activity is selected as the anchorage on the ground, and then a space station is built on the synchronous track above the anchorage.

Then from this space station, the "ladder" will be put down point by point, and finally fall on the anchorage.

Therefore, the space station above the synchronous track is the most important component besides the ladder itself.

In view of the importance of this space, the space elevator project office will solicit design proposals for the academic and industrial circles in the Pan Asian cooperation in the form of open bidding for the design of this space station.

Considering the investment scale and strategic significance of the project, almost all scientific research institutions or enterprises engaged in space station design or space engineering research in Pan Asian cooperation have participated in the bidding of the project.

As for the purpose of this meeting, naturally, it is to evaluate the design schemes of these research institutions and enterprises - the so-called expert evaluation link.

The evaluation team was led by academician Ge himself. Almost the core researchers of the whole space elevator project team participated in the evaluation.

The meeting soon got to the point.

First of all, the design of the Institute of Aerospace Science and technology of Yanjing University is shown.

As a man about 40 years old walked to the center of the circular conference room, a thumb sized cassette was placed on a projection device in the center of the conference room.

Soon the bright blue light appeared in the center of the conference room. A circular space station about half a person high and two steps wide appeared in front of everyone.

Although it's a plain face, the experts in the field of aerospace sitting here are familiar with this young and middle-aged professor.

As an expert in the field of Aerospace Engineering, Professor Zhu Haiqing, who teaches at Yanda, once participated in the design of the space station Atlantis. He is a little famous in the industry and academia. The distance from the title of academician is only a few qualifications and accumulation.

This design scheme, which was launched by Yanda Institute of space technology, was completed by the research team led by Professor Zhu.

"This is the design plan of our Yanda Institute of Astronautics."

"Referring to the design of Tianzhou space station, we divide the whole space station into three areas: residential area, commercial area and industrial area, which are successively distributed from inside to outside."

"The counterweight bar in the center of the space station is the core of the whole design. Considering that the center of gravity of the space elevator will float up and down in the synchronous orbit with the change of the space station quality, such a design can ensure that the center of gravity of the space elevator will always be in the right position."

When talking about the design, the man's face has a confident smile.Listening to his explanation, there were whispers in the meeting room.

Looking directly at the holographic blueprint suspended in the beam, Professor Zhang, sitting next to academician Ge, whispered with him.

"What do you think of the plan?"

"Be right," said academician Ge, after touching his chin and pondering for a moment, "I can't see the problem if I look at it that way."

Professor Zhang said with a smile, "even you old man can't see any problems. Isn't that stable?"

"Don't say that. No one has ever seen such a new thing as the space elevator, and the past experience is nothing at all. We are all crossing the river by feeling the stones, no one is better than others. "After a pause, academician Ge made a mark on the form in his hand and continued without any comment." let's look at some more schemes. "

Professor Zhang, who is also a member of the jury, nodded, agreeing.

"That's right."

After finishing the final explanation, Professor Zhu Haiqing, standing at the meeting, bowed slightly to the members of the evaluation committee who came to the meeting room, and then left the evaluation site with his own plan.

Next on the stage was academician Liu Bingrui of the Institute of Aerospace Science and technology of Jinling Institute of higher learning.

Academician Liu is also a great bull. Although he is 60 years old, he is still active in the first line of aerospace engineering research. And unlike Professor Zhang of Yanda, he has rich practical experience in the design of large-scale space station.

Including the Pan Asian cooperative Lagrange point space base, as well as the new orbit transfer station serving over Tiangong City, all have his research results in it.

Although the evaluation is about the scheme, not the qualifications of the bidder and the academic resume of the project leader, we have to admit that the achievements of the big bulls in these industries are much better than those of the design schemes sent by the last-class research institutions as if they were gathering together.

After seeing the plan proposed by academician Liu, the expression on academician GE's face became more and more tangled.

It's not because the plan is bad.

It's because both look so good that he doesn't know what to choose for a while.

"Let's go through all the plans first Wait until the end. " After making a mark on the form, academician Ge took a look at Professor Zhang next to him and continued to ask, "how is the preparation for the matrix? Has the application been completed? "

Professor Zhang nodded his head.

"The Ministry of science and technology has contacted the military through the director general, and they agreed that we use the matrix for 12 hours."

Matrix is the quantum computer array captured from those who are awakened.

So far, it has not been clear where the "matrix" came from and who built it for what purpose, but after the research of the Pan Asian Academy of Sciences, most of the dangers have been eliminated Using the privileges of the space elevator project team in scientific research priority, we applied to the organization to use this supercomputing in the calculation and Simulation of the space elevator design scheme.

"Twelve hours?"

After a moment of meditation, academician Ge nodded and said to himself.

"That should be enough."

……

In fact, it doesn't take as long as 12 hours.

Most of the waiting time is consumed by long communication distance and relatively narrow communication bandwidth.

If it's just a calculation, 12 hours is unnecessary for the quantum computer array buried deep under the asteroid's surface.

Just a few minutes may be enough.

Finally, after reviewing all the designs and synthesizing the opinions of other researchers in the project team, academician GE announced the shortlist and expressed his gratitude to those research units that failed to make the shortlist.

Then, it is verified by the calculation simulation on supercomputing.

All the data was transmitted to Ceres, which is hundreds of millions of kilometers away. After the quantum supercomputing array there was tested, the staff of the space elevator project team received the returned data from the Pan Asian Academy of Sciences.

Looking at the list of projects projected on the hologram screen, Professor Zhang cast his eyes to academician Ge sitting next to him.

"From which one?"

Said academician Ge, after a moment's meditation.

"Let's start with the plan of Yanda team."

For Professor Zhu's scheme, his first sense is quite good. I think he can get a good evaluation result.

If the first news is good news, the morale of the whole space elevator project team will undoubtedly be a huge boost.

Both academician Ge and Professor Zhu Haiqing are full of confidence in the evaluation results!Professor Zhang nodded his head quickly, and made a few quick taps on the holographic keyboard with ten fingers. Soon, the simulation results of the design plan of Yanda team were presented in the holographic beam.

However, in the moment of seeing the result, almost all the faces showed a surprised expression, and the mood fell to the bottom instantly.

Instead of the expected picture of the stable operation of the middle space elevator, the scattered space garbage on the synchronous orbit and the calculation parameters marked in red are scattered everywhere.

Especially the most eye-catching number, stabbing everyone's eyes.

Scheme success rate -

less than 3%!

What the hell?!
