When Vera left the Tianzhou space port, the expert team of the space elevator construction committee was standing on the Tianting space station not far away.

The spinning spire points to the earth and is connected by a thick orbit, and the circular arm connected at the other end has started to rotate slowly driven by nuclear energy.

From a distance, the whole space station is like a flying kite, floating above the blue planet.

Standing by the porthole, looking out at the silver bright spot that marks the Tianzhou, Professor Ge Huaizhi's face showed a look of fascination.

"It's been a long time," he said.

"The space station, which has been running for more than half a century, is finally retiring."

"Yes, an era is over."

Looking at the shuttle shuttling between the space station and the atmosphere, academician Zhu Haiqing, standing next to Professor Ge Huaizhi, said with emotion, "in the future, this scene can only be seen in the documentary."

Just yesterday, when the media just reported the breakthrough in the civil research of superluminal technology, the tower connecting heaven and earth finally completed the construction of the last section.

With the stable docking of Jianmu elevator and Penglai central tower at sea level, human civilization has entered a new era.

And this era will be opened by them.

"How long before the experiment begins?"

"There are about 30 minutes left," continued the staff member standing next to the two experts with a look at his watch. "The Beidou star track freight elevator has been put into the track, and the technicians are carrying out the final inspection of the track."

"This part of the work must be careful," Professor Ge Huaizhi continued in a serious voice after looking at the staff member, "especially the safety equipment on the rail freight elevator, do not miss it. Even if there is no person standing on the rail freight elevator during the trial operation, there should not be any carelessness on safety issues! "

The staff member stood upright and replied forcefully.

"Yes!"

Almost at the same time, at an orbiting astronomical observatory not far from the Tianting space station, more than 20 high-resolution lenses are almost aimed at every section striving to be a space elevator from head to foot.

Standing in the control room of the observation station, researcher field and his assistant Johnny are staring at the picture on the holographic screen, which is rigid and sharp, almost piercing the whole screen.

After about five minutes, field made a quick judgment and said.

"They're going to start commissioning."

"Commissioning?" Johnny was stunned for a moment and said with a worried look on his face, "but Why haven't we heard from you? "

"Are you a pig?" Unable to help but scold him, field continued cursing, "those pan Asians are not your employees. Why should I report to you for what they do? What's more, if they are really discussing matters, do they need us to stare at them here? "

Take a deep breath, Johnny's voice was hasty, he said, rubbing his fingers anxiously.

"What shall we do?"

"What to do? Ask the space agency. We are only responsible for observation, not helping them out. You ask me? I don't know what to do. " Staring at the silver line connecting the heaven and the earth, field's mouth was swearing, but there was still an envious expression on his face.

It hasn't been a year, from the space station to the elevator sections, even the floating port

Are these guys really human?

"I have sent the report There's no response yet. "Looking at the dead silence on the channel, Johnny continued to look at field." what's next? "

I don't care about this guy at all. I stare at field of the space elevator and give him a perfunctory shake.

"Wait!"

Even in the position of the opponent.

As an engineer, he didn't want to miss this historic moment.

One minute, one second!

At the same time, Mars, which is far away from three astronomical units, and land boats and others standing in the conference room are also paying attention to this historic moment.

Although there is a delay of nearly 20 minutes, it does not affect his attention to the project as the general consultant.

In the headquarters building of East Asia heavy industry Mars branch, the land boat obtained the live picture transmission authority through the head office, and borrowed a meeting room from the branch office to watch the real-time live broadcast of this century project.

In addition to him, Wang Peng and Zhong president of the Mars branch of aiib are standing here.

Looking at the 36000 kilometer long track in the holographic screen, he couldn't help but utter a sigh.

"This is absolutely a miracle in the history of human engineering Before that, I never thought that one day we could repair the elevator to the sky. ""Everything comes step by step. I didn't think it would be so fast before," continued the boat with a smile. "Until I found it."

Wang Peng: "it?"

"Well," he continued, nodding his head, with a confident smile on his face, "the ultimate material of heaven and earth."

In the video picture of the holographic screen, the staff standing in the central tower of Penglai City, operating heavy engineering equipment, put the huge track freight elevator into the booster frame, and connected the side end to the long track.

"Attention of all units, start to check the work!"

"Yes!"

Looking at the picture on the holographic screen, Wang Peng's face was obviously excited, and he could not help squeezing his fist.

"I didn't expect that one day it would become true..."

Looking at Wang Peng, whose face was full of excitement, Lu Zhou smiled and continued in a relaxed tone.

"Which one of my words is false?"

Standing next to the two, Zhong Ziyu, who was also invited to watch the live broadcast of the trial operation of the space elevator, had the same excited and shocking expression on her face.

After a long time, he said with emotion.

"The citizens of Tiangong city are blessed with misfortune. Although they have a hapless mayor, the space trade activities of the whole solar system will increase exponentially compared with that after the completion of the space elevator."

"Ha ha, I don't know," Lu Zhou continued with a smile, "but one thing is for sure, we have entered a new era."

In the live video, the inspection of the equipment has been completed, and there is less than 10 minutes to start.

At this time, the boat with both hands on its back seemed to suddenly think of something and turned to the door behind it.

Looking at the action of Lu Zhou, Zhong Ziyu cast a curious sight at him.

"There are 10 minutes left. Don't you see the end?"

Light smile, Lu Zhou did not turn back, just left a thought-provoking words.

"No, I have already seen it."

Zhong Ziyu: "...?"

Instead of explaining the amount of information contained in that sentence, after dropping this sentence, Lu Zhou left the room and headed for the elevator.
