Armor Frenzy

In this way, it took several days for the Skyhook to drag all the containers into space. After the last container was hoisted away, Ouyang Ping heaved a long sigh of relief: "It's finally over."

"It's over?" Ye Han's voice suddenly rose, "You think it's beautiful."

"Ah? What else?" Ouyang Ping exclaimed.

"Where is this, it's still very early!" Ye Han looked very melancholy.

Ouyang Ping was very discouraged and asked unwillingly, "How many are there?"

"How do I know, when is enough and when is it counted." Ye Han said irresponsibly.

Ye Han was right. Early the next morning, a large group of aliens rushed to the base with giant insects, each of which was stacked high on its back.

Everyone continues to receive, and after all the boxes are packed, the Sky Hook will be notified to hoist it away.

Just like this, I have to repeat it every few days, Ye Han is numb, and I can't remember how many carbon fiber plants the Sky Hook took. Anyway, he took it when the aliens sent it. , To put it nicely, it means getting more fulfilled every day, and to put it honestly, it means to be exhausted every day.

Finally one day, Ouyang Ping couldn't help but ask, "Boss, isn't it enough?"

Ye Han said: "More than 24,000 kilometers, are you saying enough?"

The gravitational force of Io is only 80% of that of the earth, and its rotation speed is much faster than that of the earth. Therefore, the synchronous orbit of Io is much lower than that of the earth, only 24,000 kilometers, which is two-thirds of the earth.

In other words, the cable length required by Io Zero must be more than 24,000 kilometers!

Alas? Why not 24,000 kilometers?

Because the center of gravity of the cable plus the space station is placed on the synchronous orbit, the position of the space station must be a little higher than the synchronous orbit, and only in this way will there be no deviation.

Ouyang Ping's eyes straightened: "Is this the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?"

Ye Han sighed helplessly: "When is enough, when is it counted!"

Ye Han's egg hurts very much here, and it's not easy in other areas.

The main function of the current Tianhe is no longer a space station, but a primary processing center for alien vines!

The Sky Hook sent the container to the Tianhe. After the Tianhe received the container, it temporarily placed the container outside the space station. The container was taken in order, and the vines inside were taken out for preliminary treatment, and the outer skin, unnecessary tissue and excess water were removed. Leaving swathes of carbon nanofibers behind.

The conditions on the Tianhe are limited, and it can only be processed to this step. After processing, it has to be re-packed and transported back to Beiyuezhou. The whole bundle of carbon nanofibers is broken up, and the nano-scale carbon nanotubes are extracted and rewoven into Suitable carbon nanofiber cables.

This process is not as easy as imagined. In order to disperse the fiber bundles, Beidu and Washington have worked together to manufacture a batch of professional equipment. All carbon fibers transported back to Beiyuezhou are processed by automated machinery.

However, even the most advanced equipment of human beings can only separate carbon nanotubes manually. Industrial production is not so high-precision at all, and it can be decomposed to the level of dozens of carbon nanotubes.

However, such a level is enough. Dozens of entangled carbon nanotubes are woven into ropes, and then assisted by appropriate treatment, the strength fully meets the needs of rail elevators.

The weaving of the cable is not all smooth sailing. It is more than 24,000 kilometers. It can be placed on the earth half a circle around the equator with turns, and in order to ensure the strength, there can be no joints in the middle.

Beidu and Washington have been worried about this matter. After all, this is the first time that humans have built orbital elevators. How do you feel!

What's more troublesome is that the speed of weaving is too slow. At the beginning, we could only weave a few kilometers per day.

Beidu and Washington held a very efficient emergency consultation. After the consultation, dozens of sets of processing equipment were added, and the weaving equipment was also improved accordingly. Thirty kilometers.

But 30 kilometers a day, it takes more than 800 days to accumulate more than 24,000 kilometers. That is two and a half years. The Earth and the resistance organization are willing to wait, but can Jupiter be safe for that long?

And there is no point in continuing to add equipment, because 30 kilometers a day is the limit, and no amount of raw materials can keep up. In order to catch up with the progress, even the carbon fiber produced by the earth is put in.

Fortunately, this thing is not a rope in the usual sense, and it is not the same thickness from beginning to end. The force of each position of the cable is different. The closer to the synchronous orbit, the stronger the force, so the cable just woven is the widest and heaviest. , then it can be gradually narrowed and narrowed.

In order to get accurate data~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Beidu and Washington used supercomputers to calculate several times, and then compared the data together. It took a lot of effort to get the most accurate mechanical model.

The first part of Beiyuezhou is the cable connecting the ground end in the atmosphere. This part is not much worse than the part of the space station, so the difficulty of weaving is relatively high. After this part is woven, the difficulty will gradually decrease. Weaving The speed will gradually increase.

In this way, there is an endless stream of transport ships between the earth and Io, and the high-density transportation has continued until the beginning of June 2029.

The weaving task of Beiyuezhou continued until the first ten days of July. In the early stage of weaving, the completed cables were coiled layer by layer in the crater on the ground of Beiyuezhou. However, as the project progressed, more and more cables were piled up. Once the entanglement can't be solved at all, all the work will be in vain.

Later, Beidu simply used a spacecraft to pull the cable into space, and pulled it out from the moon. At the beginning, it was only a few hundred kilometers, weaving a piece and pulling a piece, and finally pulling it out for more than 20,000 kilometers, dragging it behind the **** of the moon like a strip. Ice White Tail - After a strict surface treatment, the outer layer of the cable is glued with a thin layer of insect shell, so it appears to be a light ice white.

Beidu and the base group also issued a joint statement, marking the vicinity of the cable as a no-fly zone. No matter which country's aircrafts are not allowed to approach, otherwise they will be shot down without consultation. Even the battleships of the Beiyuezhou Fleet and the International Fleet must get the Approaching with the permission of the Joint Command.

On July 11, 2029, the last section of the cable was completed. With the order of the joint command, the spacecraft that had been holding the cable flew to Io Zero immediately.

So far, the orbit elevator plan that lasted nearly ten months has finally blossomed and is about to bear its first fruit.
