Chapter 1617

With the successful completion of the first phase of the project, the second phase of the space elevator project soon began.

As the main contractor of the whole super project, the construction of this part is the most challenging link for East Asia heavy industry.

In this part of the construction, the construction team of East Asia heavy industry will put down the 36000 km elevator from the Tianting like a ladder, until it is connected with the central tower in Penglai City.

If we can refer to the construction of Tianting and the large space station such as Lagrange point space station, then there is no historical experience to follow in the construction of elevator section.

Let alone East Asia heavy industry.

For the whole human civilization, it is unprecedented to build such a long elevator

"In the first phase of the project, we tentatively lay down one main guide rail and four auxiliary guide rails, and connect them one by one through the method of dislocation and downward movement, until the last one is smoothly connected with the central tower."

"If we can ensure the safety of the elevator, we will gradually expand this number to 12 in the future, and finally complete all the designs on the blueprint."

After listening to the specific construction scheme described by chief engineer Wang of East Asia heavy industry, Lu Zhou thought for a moment and nodded his head.

"It's a good idea. For the moment, we can try to follow this idea."

This is the safest way.

Even after technical demonstration and computer simulation, the space elevator is still an adventurous attempt for them. Although any failure in scientific exploration is acceptable, a 36000 kilometer long track may bring unpredictable impact on the ecological environment.

If it falls, it's OK to say.

If that part of the debris between the low earth orbit and the synchronous orbit does not fall down, but becomes the sky garbage around the earth, there is no doubt that it will be a disaster

After the meeting, I left from the Pan Asian Academy of Sciences and got on the Maglev at the door.

Wang Peng drove him to the maglev station.

Although he has got a new job now, he is a "fellow townsman" from the same era and a partner who has worked together for many years. The relationship between the two has always been good. Hearing that Lu Zhou came to Beijing, he immediately volunteered to apply to his superiors to serve as a temporary manager for his old friends.

"How are you doing?"

"I've been fine, and you?"

"I'm almost the same," continued Wang Peng, who was sitting in the driver's seat with a grin. "It may be that there must be future blessings if there is no death. I feel that things are turning around recently."

"What do you say?"

"Didn't we set up an investigation team to deal with the foundation case?"

Although Wang Peng didn't say which foundation it was, upon hearing these three words, Lu Zhou knew that he was referring to the "Xie religious organization" that tried to use alpha virus to control the world and ended up killing himself.

"Is there any clue about them?"

"There is more than a clue," Wang Peng said with a hearty smile. "Some time ago, according to the information, we locked a hidden stronghold of them in the neutral country. With the cooperation of the ghost team, we successfully uprooted this stronghold without much effort, and intercepted a large number of psychotropic drugs and important documents for the development of believers. Then guess what? "

The ghost team is a special land force of the first Pan Asian fleet. Unlike the third orbital Airborne Brigade, which is responsible for the front battlefield, they are mainly engaged in some technical work, although they also undertake the task of airborne planetary operations.

For example, the fixed-point removal of traitors, or the execution of some tasks outside the territory that are not convenient for the public.

About this army, Lu Zhou had heard about it before, although he would like to know the final ending of the cosmic spirit foundation more than the specific details of that operation.

“…… What happened later? "

"Based on the information in those documents, we can be sure that the site we destroyed was their headquarters on earth!"

The eyebrow flies to say, rare show not steady one side of Wang Peng, smugly touched an electronic cigarette to take in the mouth. However, just as he was about to light it, he suddenly thought that Lu Zhouwen could not smell a cigarette, so he took it off again and put it back in his pocket, and continued with a dry cough.

"The latter thing is very simple. According to the documents collected from the headquarters, we wanted a large number of key members of the cosmic spirit foundation. Some people have been caught now, and others are estimated to be fast. "

Hearing this, Lu Zhou's face showed a happy smile.

"It seems that the case will be over soon."

"It's over It's not as optimistic as you think. "

The boat took an unexpected look.

"Isn't the headquarters all taken away?"

Wang Peng sighed.

"That's right, but the documents stored in the headquarters list the names of some marginal members, far from reaching the core layer of the whole foundation. For example, the name of song Yangwei is not on it. ""None of the core members were caught?" Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, and his face was a little strange. "Are you sure that you are carrying off their headquarters?"

Wang Peng shook his head and said, "I know what you want to say. In fact, I have doubts about whether the stronghold we destroyed will be just a bait thrown out by the foundation, or a cover up for the cicada to break its shell. But after our investigation, we found that the core members of the spirit of the universe foundation are connected through the virtual reality network. They all play other roles in reality, and even have never seen each other in reality. "

Lu Zhou: "it sounds like a guild of online games."

"There is such a feeling," Wang Peng continued, "that their cautious approach has brought us a lot of difficulties in our investigation work. If we don't really wipe out their core management or their sources of funds, even if we take away more of their strongholds, it will not really hurt them."

Lu Zhou: "can I help you?"

It seems that I didn't expect that Lu Zhou would say that. Wang Peng was stunned subconsciously after hearing this.

Noticing the expression on Wang Peng's face, Lu Zhou glanced at him vaguely.

"What's the matter?"

"Nothing It's just a bit of an accident, "Wang Peng said with a smile after returning to God." old Xing always told me that you are a big God. I didn't expect that you would offer to help. "

Lu Zhou: "it depends on what you help and who you help."

"We know your kindness, but this little thing will not bother you," Wang Peng continued with a smile. "It's our duty to maintain social order, and it's irresponsible to involve you in it. Besides, there are more important things to do right now. "

After arriving at the maglev station, Wang Peng put Lu Zhou on the bus and said goodbye after taking care of each other.

I got on the maglev train back to Jinling, and I was thinking about that one year ago all the way.

There is no doubt that David Lawrence should be dead, which is not what Wang Peng saw with his own eyes, and the remains and DNA test can provide evidence. However, many secrets are also brought to the grave because of the death of the mastermind.

After returning home, Lu Zhou rested for a day and returned to his previous work. Every day, I don't go to school occasionally to show my face and give a class to college students in the 22nd century. I just hang out in the lab and play with the model of interplanetary highway or exchange academic problems with his favorite apprentice.

In this way, day by day, and soon to the end of the month.

With the coming of summer vacation, there seems to be fewer things that need him to go out to do now.

However, just when Lu Zhou thought about it, he received a special email in his mailbox.

It's special because it's from the colony of Mars.

Not only that, but also the mayor's signature and the red head seal of Tiangong city authority are printed at the end of the letter. Although I haven't read the contents, all kinds of signs seem to indicate that this letter is unusual
