The robots are working hard. With each recent launch, they will send a robotics engineering team into space while carrying the space station module until the number is saturated, reaching 60 robots and 12 construction teams.

Twelve construction groups are the best optimization after scientific demonstration. After all, the launch speed is limited, and the robot is tireless. It is working 24 hours. The size of the construction team is too large, and there will be insufficient raw materials. Workers Waiting for the situation of building materials.

In the quiet and dark space, you can clearly see that the center axis of station zero is nearing completion. This is the greatest miracle in the history of human space. Its height, volume, and life are all hundreds of times, and even thousands of times the international space station. Standing on Station Zero overlooking the International Space Station is like a giant staring at an ant on the ground.

When the International Space Station is operating, it must withstand atmospheric resistance, and the orbital height will continue to decrease. Therefore, the orbital height needs to be constantly raised. In January 2019, the orbital height of the International Space Station was 334 km. However, in August, the orbital height increased to 356 km.

On average, the orbital height of the International Space Station is maintained at about 345 kilometers, which is less than one percent of the orbital height of station zero. The gap is too large. It is simply the difference between an airplane and a carriage. There is no way to compare it. This is still the smallest of all the gaps, and the remaining gaps in volume, living space, self-sustainability, etc. are even greater, which is simply unbearable.

"This group of lunatics, they are so fast. The center axis of station zero has already begun to take shape, and this is only a few months after their first launch." Musk blinked his eyes in the office. Does not blink at the screen.

As a competitor, Musk is very concerned about every move of Station Zero. While the construction of Station Zero was not idle in North America, they mobilized the entire western power to desperately launch satellites in near-Earth orbit, trying to catch up with Station Zero. Before completion, the first interstellar internet project in human history, StarChain.

At present, the world ’s most noticeable focus is the space battle between China and the United States. Luo Jia represents the Huaxia team and builds station zero. Musk represents the North American and Western United teams to build a star chain.

Compared with the huge space plan, the semiconductor alliance's challenge to the Star Technology chip industry, the Global Automotive Industry Federation's war against the three big auto companies in China, the R & D competition between Western Biological and Pharmaceutical Group and Star Technology's Life Science Department, these sub-battlefields require Inferior, after all, China and North America ’s space programs have invested billions of dollars in the unprecedented scale. What the two sides are setting out is a desperate posture.

So far, Xingchen Technology is dominant. Although from the perspective of profitability, Xinglian Network is easier to make money. Station Zero seems to be a bottomless pit that burns money. However, Xingchen Technology has a robot, the big killer, and the star wings are not short. In just a few months, it has a large number of fans around the world, and has the characteristics of becoming a new generation of Internet celebrities.

"Well, it seems like ... a big bunch of rope ...?"

Looking at the slowly floating objects in space, Musk was lost in thought. He manipulated the spy satellite and pulled the lens closer to confirm that it was really a kind of rope, very thin and long, wound into a cylinder and sent into space by the star rocket. Yes, it seems to be part of Space Zero.

Musk fell into confusion, and he didn't want to understand what he scratched his scalp. What does the zero station want so many ropes to do?

And it's obviously not an ordinary rope, it's thin, but it has amazing toughness.

...

Waigu Island, Indonesia.

The huge mountain was hollowed out from the middle, and the construction forces from China Construction, Iron Construction, Road and Bridge, and Offshore Construction had been fighting on the island for a whole year.

In addition to hollowing out the mountain, they also built a dock capable of accommodating 10,000-ton freighters, a roundabout, a mountain road, a 6.5-kilometer artificial beach, a residential area that can accommodate 100,000 people, two integrated commercial centers, and a Carmen vortex. Street Power Array, an oversized waterworks, and street lights throughout the island.

The local residents felt unparalleled shock. The legend of the infrastructure madness has long existed, but they never expected that the infrastructure madness was so powerful. Within a year, they dared to call the sun and the moon for a new day. A barren island with only three thousand inhabitants has become a modern and hi-tech land full of high technology.

Local indigenous people canoeed and tried to migrate to Weigu Island. Unfortunately, they were intercepted by patrol boats hidden in the dark. They did not wear military uniforms, but they acted like professional soldiers. They bundled the indigenous people It's sturdy, even if the natives cry, the guys don't care.

Only the prisoners are waiting for the intruders. The legal department of Xingchen Technology has always been known for uncompromising and suing you.

Banging ~

The helicopter made a loud roar and landed on Weigu Island. Cao Yuan stepped off the plane and met the local team leader Cai Zhuguo, shaking hands cordially.

Subsequently, they drove up the coastline, reached the top of the mountain, stood on a concrete platform, and looked at the bottomless pit below. The bottom of the pit was brightly lit, and mechanical noise continued to come. Thousands of workers were working 24 hours day and night rush work.

Cai Zhuguo started the construction blueprint and introduced the progress of the project to Cao Yuan. The ground part of the space elevator is about to be buried. The giant mechanical support is like the claws of a monster. It penetrates into the seabed underground of Weigu Island and grasps it firmly. Drive the fixing bolt into the ground.

Soon, station zero will hang the first cable to connect the ground with station zero. The principle of the space elevator is like a stone tied to the top of a rope, and then flung round, the rope is naturally straightened. Already.

It may not sound difficult, but the twists and turns, only the scientific workers who challenged this super project can really understand that in the past year or so, hundreds of thousands of engineers and scientists from Xingchen Technology have not slept peacefully, all of them Struggling for life at work.

"Come on, let's take a look." Cao Yuan rubbed his messy hairstyle and Shen said: "The cable number one will be installed at first sight. You must make sure everything is foolproof."

Cai Zhuguo snapped, "So fast?"

"The soldiers are expensive," Cao Yuan chuckled. "We Luo always said that the first phase of the Star Alliance network will be launched in North America. In any case, we must not let our opponents be proud."

"Really? Musk's guy is fast, when do you know?" Cai Zhuguo asked curiously.

Cao Yuan shrugged helplessly. "On February 14th, on the Valentine's Day in the West, I don't know who the opposite idea came from across the Pacific Ocean. Picking Valentine's Day to open the Star Alliance Network, I really despise our group of single dogs. . "

Uh ~

Cai Zhuguo didn't hold back for a moment, almost laughed out loud, the tough guys lacked everything, just lack of single dogs, even if the star dating has been online for four years, they can't solve all the problems. It seems that some people are destined to start from the mother's womb. single.

"That group of grandchildren is indeed bad enough. What single dogs do you simply not want to waste time on women?" Cai Zhuguo said frowningly at Cao Yuan, and said with a serious face.

...

"Valentine's Day without Valentine…"

At the meditation center, Luo Jia hummed in a good mood. The space elevator project is progressing smoothly. The first cable can be installed soon. The time just coincides with the announcement of the first phase of the North American Star Alliance Network, which is earlier than Luo Jia's plan. Two weeks.

A sudden jitter came from his wrist, Luo Jia glanced at the smart watch, and saw that the time agreed with the Black Sword had arrived, so he came to the third floor underground, brought a virtual reality helmet, opened the secret net tower, and entered there. Piece of ruin.

The Black Sword had already arrived in advance, and his mental state seemed not very good. He was sitting beside the fountain in a daze, and stared at the constantly shaking water surface. When he saw Luo Jia coming, he hurriedly stood up and walked forward two steps. .

"Mr. Luo Jia!" Hei Jian said respectfully.

"Well, what's the situation over there? You should have successfully entered the Forgotten Galaxy, right?" Luo Jia asked. Black Sword was very quick to pay him in advance. Luo Jia would naturally be concerned about his business. Very important.

Black Sword frowned and said very distressed: "The situation is really difficult to say. With the position you gave, we did enter the forgotten galaxy smoothly, but the situation is far more complicated than I thought."

"First of all, interference, magnetic signals, radar signals, space signals, gravitational signals, various signal sources are lost one after another, or they are in chaos for no reason. Since the loss of artificial intelligence, radar and fire control systems have been calculated and analyzed manually. The chaotic signal source has increased the workload limit, and the crew are crying. "

"Second is the mental stress. The second commander of the fleet, the chief engineer, and the high-ranking crew members of the fleet feel as if they have been peered, as if there are invisible eyes in the dark, staring at us."

Is there such a strange thing?

Luo Jia opened the star chart in her mind to view. According to the data of the golden dome, it is normal to forget the extreme chaos in the galaxy. Signal disturbances are normal, but the mysterious peeping sense cannot be explained.

"Assuming that it is the cause of the black sword alone, it is impossible for all the senior crew members to have problems, and the higher the level of the crew, the more obvious the peeping feeling is. This should be the reason for the different perception levels."

Luo Jia was thinking fast ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Rejected the possibility of black sword lying, major civilizations attach great importance to human potential development, and becoming a senior crew member must obtain a high score in the potential development course, which is why the senior crew member feels, The junior crew had no reason whatsoever.

"I'm sorry, I'm just a navigator, not a psychoanalyst. I can't give an answer to the question of peeping, but signal interference is normal, which is a risk that must be taken to forcibly enter a forgotten galaxy." Luo Jia is quite awesome. Said.

Black Sword nodded and smiled awkwardly, "I am indeed too brave to ask you questions outside of the profession. After entering the Forgotten Galaxy, we immediately sent a reconnaissance ship and explored the drone. We found what we were looking for It is very likely that things will exist in the 7th, 8th, and 13th star areas, and I want to investigate there first. "

Luo Jia nodded slightly. The strategy was previously determined. The forgotten galaxy was too large. It consisted of more than a hundred star regions. After the black sword entered, he first surveyed it with a drone and determined a smaller area. Luo Jia is leading the way.

"Seventh, eighth, thirteenth?"

Luo Jia read it, and a full picture of these three star areas quickly appeared in his mind. Together, they formed a triangular area, and there were many turbulences and spatial faults more dangerous than turbulence.

With a little thought, Luo Jia began to plan routes for the Black Sword.

"As long as you follow the route I gave you strictly, you can avoid the dangers in the area, and remember, you must not deviate from the route unless necessary." Luo Jia cautioned seriously.

After doing all this, Black Sword returned to the fleet with gratitude, holding the route mark, Luo Jia also returned to the earth, and began to prepare for the establishment of the first elevator cable.

The old saying is good, everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as this step can be completed, the craziest space program in history will be half successful.
