Chapter 1656 Elevator Completion

Just when Vera's flight 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 spindle-shaped spire points to the earth and is connected by a thick orbit, and the arc-shaped spiral arm connected to the other end has also begun to slowly rotate under the drive of nuclear energy.

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

Standing by the porthole, looking at the silver-white bright spot that marks the Tianzhou, Professor Ge Huaizhi showed a fascinated expression on his face.

After brewing feelings for a long time, he said.

"This space station, which has been in operation for more than half a century, is finally about to retire."

"Yeah, an era is over."

Standing next to Professor Ge Huaizhi, Academician Zhu Haiqing also said with emotion, "I'm afraid that this kind of scene will only be seen in documentaries."

Just yesterday, when the media reported a breakthrough in the research on the civilian application of superluminal technology, the construction of the last section of the tower that connects the sky and the earth has finally been completed.

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

And this era will be opened by them.

"How long before the experiment starts?"

"There are about 30 minutes left." Glancing at his watch, the staff standing next to the two experts continued excitedly, "The Beidouxing orbital freight elevator has been installed into the orbit, and the technicians are conducting the final inspection of the orbit. "

"You must be careful in this part of the work," Professor Ge Huaizhi continued to instruct in a serious tone, looking at the staff member, "Especially the safety equipment on the rail freight elevator, don't miss it. There is no stand-up person, and there must be no sloppy safety issues!"

The staff member stood at attention 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 were aimed at almost every section from head to toe of the space elevator.

Standing in the control room of the observatory, Researcher Field and his assistant Johnny stared intently at the picture on the holographic screen. The stiff and sharp line of sight almost pierced the entire screen.

After about 5 minutes like this, Field quickly made a judgment and said.

"They're going to start a trial run."

"Trial run?" Johnny froze for a moment, and said anxiously, "But...why didn't we receive any news from here?"

"Are you a pig?" Couldn't help scolding him, Field continued cursing, "Those Pan-Asian people are not your employees, why should they report to you for what they are doing? Besides, if they really want to discuss things , do we still need to watch here?"

Taking a deep breath, Johnny's tone became hurried, rubbing his fingers anxiously and saying.

"what should we do?"

"What should we do? Ask the space agency. We are only responsible for observation, not helping them solve their problems. You ask me? I don't know what to do." Staring at the silver line connecting the sky and the earth, Field said Although he was cursing, there was still a trace of envy on his face.

It has not been a year yet, from the space station to the elevator sections, and even the floating port...

Are these guys really human?

"I have already sent the report... There is no response yet," Johnny looked at the dead silence on the communication channel, and continued to look at Field, "What's next?"

I didn't bother to pay attention to this guy at all, staring at Field, who was staring at the space elevator, and gave him a perfunctory sentence.

"Wait!"

Even in the opponent's position.

As an engineer, he did not want to miss this historic moment.

Not even a minute or a second!

At the same time, Mars, which is three astronomical units away, and Lu Zhou and others standing in the meeting room are also paying attention to this historic moment.

Although there was a delay of nearly 20 minutes, it did not affect his attention to this project as the general counsel.

In the headquarters building of the Mars branch of East Asia Heavy Industries, Lu Zhou obtained the permission to transmit the live broadcast through the head office, and borrowed a conference room from the branch to watch the real-time live broadcast of the Century Project.

Besides him, Wang Peng and President Zhong of the Mars Branch of the AIIB are also standing here.

Looking at the 36,000-kilometer track on the holographic screen, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"This is definitely a miracle in the history of human engineering...Before this, I never thought that one day we would be able to repair the elevator to the sky."

"Everything happens step by step. I never thought it would be so fast before," Lu Zhou who was standing beside smiled, and continued softly, "Until I discovered it."

Wang Peng: "It?"

"Well," Lu Zhou nodded, with a confident smile on his face, and continued, "The ultimate material for heaven and earth."

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

"Attention all units, start inspection work!"

"yes!"

Looking at the picture on the holographic screen, Wang Peng had an obviously excited expression on his face, and couldn't help but clenched his fists lightly.

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

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

"Which sentence I said was 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, also had an expression of excitement and shock on his face.

After a while, he spoke in an emotional tone.

"The citizens of Tiangong City can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. Although there is an unlucky mayor, compared to waiting for the space elevator to be completed, the space trade activities of the entire solar system will increase exponentially."

"Haha, then I don't know," Lu Zhou smiled and continued, "But one thing is for sure, we have entered a new era."

In the live broadcast screen, the inspection of the equipment has been completed, and it will start in less than 10 minutes.

And at this moment, Lu Zhou, with his hands behind his back, seemed to suddenly remember something, and turned to walk towards the door behind him.

Watching Lu Zhou's movements, Zhong Ziyu cast a curious look at him.

"There are still 10 minutes, don't you want to see the end?"

Smiling lightly, Lu Zhou didn't look back, but just dropped an intriguing sentence.

"No need, I've seen it."

Zhong Ziyu: "...?"

Without explaining the amount of information contained in that sentence, Lu Zhou left the room and walked towards the elevator after dropping the sentence.
