Technological Hegemony

Facing the cyber attack in North America, Luo Jia responded in his column live broadcast the next day, pointing out that the reason why China can continue to this day is not relying on the city wall, but relying on countless predecessors and sages. The spiritual power of the past.

All ancient civilizations are dead, and only the Chinese civilization is still alive. The reason is definitely not that our ancestors shivered behind the city walls.

The so-called decline and backwardness are only a hundred years in modern times. Before that, the ancestors of China were very violent. Looking around, which of the neighbors around has not been cleaned up?

Luo Jia's witty and passionate speech aroused the audience's excitement. Then, he changed the topic and finally started today's topic. He pressed the remote control with his finger to turn on the big screen.

"It's station zero!" Someone shouted immediately after the screen appeared.

I saw the dark starry sky, which is the zero station where the central axis has been established. This picture is broadcast live to the world through satellites at a fixed time every day, so everyone will not feel unfamiliar.

However, today is obviously different. The camera zooms in, and the hatch at the top of the central axis of station zero is opened, revealing a strange machine, pointing far to the blue earth below, and the robot construction team is surrounding this machine Next to him, nervously and busy doing the final inspection.

"What is this?"

"Could it be some kind of weapon? Something like a space-based weapon."

"How is it possible? With China's strict control, if it is a weapon, it will never appear in Luo Jia's personal column."

"It makes sense. No matter how good Xingchen Technology is, it is still a private company. It is impossible to master space-based weapons."

The audience talked a lot. No one believed that there was a weapon installed on Station Zero, but the machine pointing to the earth did look like some kind of launching device, which confused everyone.

At this time, Luo Jia smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, in a while, we will launch a rope from station zero to the earth, and then fix the rope on Weigu Island, Indonesia. Next, let's connect My colleague at Weigu Island, the person in charge of the space rope project, Dr. Cao Yuan."

With Luo Jia gently waving his hand, the screen changed, from the dark and deep space to the small island in the blue sea.

Looking at it from the air, there are many large and small ships moored around Weigu Island. On the distant sea, there seems to be a fleet of the Chinese military. Obviously, the navy appeared in this sea area to protect it.

People suddenly found that

This desolate island near the equator has completely changed its appearance now, and has become a similar base. Inside the mountain is the key hub of a space elevator that is not open to the public, while the island is relatively free around it, and many entertainment and residences have been built. facility.

As for the transportation on Weigu Island, it mainly relies on sea transportation. Ocean-going ships equipped with large ultrasonic motors have amazing speed and low cost, and have formed an absolute monopoly on the global shipping field.

Maersk, Evergreen, Hyundai, and the former shipping giants went bankrupt one after another. Earth shipping ushered in a new era of China's hegemony, but because shipping is far away from people's lives, people usually don't know much about this field.

"Hi everyone, I'm Cao Yuan, the director of Xingchen Science and Technology Materials Research Institute." Cao Yuan faced the camera and said a little jerky.

Due to the need for confidentiality, the camera only scanned over Weigu Island, and then moved to the beach. The internal engineering structure of the island was not disclosed to the outside world.

"As we all know, our carbon fiber technology is currently the strongest on earth, including the Karman vortex street power generation array. The reason why it can support such high-strength shaking is because carbon materials far exceed the powerful performance of steel."

"Today is another milestone in the history of materials science, because we are about to eliminate high-strength carbon materials and open a new era of nanomaterials. Carbon nanotubes, and stronger and more expensive graphene nanotubes, will officially enter the stage of history."

Cao Yuan is worthy of being a top genius, with extraordinary bearing and sharp language. The depth and breadth of his thinking are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

In the context of Cao Yuan, nanotubes, a top-level material facing the future, are depicted vividly. People begin to understand that nanotubes are like many cotton wools with amazing strength. The structure is divided into single-wall and multi-wall, and they can not only be used alone , and can be mixed with other materials.

For example, injecting nanotubes into traditional steel will increase the strength of stainless steel by more than ten times, while retaining the characteristics of easy molding and repair. It can also be injected into traditional carbon fiber materials, and it can even be injected into building materials to build skyscrapers thousands of meters high.

In this way, the use of nanotubes will be greatly expanded. Suppose you want a ceramic mug, but you don’t want the quilt to be too fragile and easy to break, then you probably need a high-strength mug using nanotechnology up.

If you hate shopping like many straight men, you are welcome to buy nano suits, from underwear and socks to T-shirts and jeans, nano suits will never fade, and will never be damaged. You only need this set in your life Clothes are enough.

"Clothing with nanotechnology can also play a role in heat preservation, preventing us from wrapping ourselves tightly and dressing up like a bear every winter."

Cao Yuan said while using virtual animation technology to demonstrate that due to the excellent thermal insulation performance of nanomaterials, even in the weather of minus 20 degrees in the future, it is enough to wear only a shirt, and girls can only wear stockings in heavy snow , even if you go to the Antarctic and the Arctic, all you need is a single-layer jacket.

"Isn't this too handsome!?"

"Star technology is amazing!"

"I love you guys so much! I can finally wear skirts in winter, even if it snows heavily!"

"Sure enough, it's a trick that is eaten all over the world. Materials are the basic items in all scientific research. Xingchen Technology has invested in the foundation for many years, and finally received rich returns!"

"The same is true of another boss, Mr. Ren of Huawei. He recruits a large number of mathematicians and physicists. I heard that he has set up a mathematics laboratory in France."

The Chinese people cheered happily, but the Western people felt aggrieved, carbon fiber was eliminated? You know, Western companies headed by Shin-Etsu Chemical and DuPont Group have not yet caught up with high-strength too-fibers. Huaxia has eliminated carbon fibers and entered the era of carbon nanometers! ? This gap is too big! ?

In addition, everyone seems to have vaguely understood something from the history of Xingchen Technology, set up a material science research institute, recruited troops, broke through carbon fiber and graphene, and then nanosized on the basis of graphene to obtain carbon nanotubes and graphite ene nanotubes, finally putting nanotechnology into space programs and everyday life…

This is a complete material science upgrade path!

Step by step, there is no difference in points, there is no greed for success, and there is no stagnation. In the end, amazing and fruitful results have been reaped. Without breakthroughs in materials science, there would be no Karmen vortex power generation and no space program. After summarizing, it is not difficult to see that The importance of basic scientific research to enterprises and countries.

Cao Yuan used a lot of space to introduce nanotube technology, and nanotube technology is indeed worthy of such an honor. From the main structure of the zero-synchronous orbit space station to underwear that will never be damaged, nanotubes can do everything. Usability is unmatched.

The three future materials, titanium alloy, superconducting, and graphene, will be tackled by Ji Ming, Chao Anbang, Cao Yuan, and the three ace teams. As time goes by, Luo Jia's layout in the field of materials science will surely reap great rewards. The rich rewards of the dead.

"Mr. Luo, my introduction is over." Cao Yuan said to the camera.

His task today is to show everyone Wei Gudao. By the way, he will talk about the black technology of nanotubes. Cao Yuan, who is already a member of the management authority, will often face the camera in the future to strengthen the propaganda offensive.

Immediately afterwards, the smiling Luo Jia appeared in front of the camera again, and he released a demonstration animation, and the content of the animation made scientists all over the world fall into unparalleled shock and great depression.

In all fairness, this animation is not complicated at all. Graphene nanotubes and carbon nanotubes are mixed to form thin ropes, and then released by a high-precision torque elastic machine, falling into the earth from space. After passing through the atmosphere, just Arrive at the sky above the terminal facility on Okushima.

"Don't! Don't! Never!"

"It's not true, it's not true!"

"Gyrosynchronous orbital station? Nanotube rope? Plus a foundation at the equator!?"

"My God, those Chinese people, they are crazy!"

Countless scientists shouted hysterically in their offices or at home. People with basic space knowledge and scientific literacy can easily associate the three key words with an extremely crazy existence, that is, the space elevator.

Once China has a space elevator, but the West does not, it will undoubtedly widen the gap between the two largest civilization camps on Earth.

Ships of precious minerals will travel directly to the earth from all over the galaxy. It is as easy for Chinese people to enter space as to go home. It is even possible to consider organizing elementary and middle school students from all over China to study in low-Earth orbit every summer to turn the solar system into a new world. Become China's back garden.

For the West, space is a distant dream.

For the East, space is only part of home.

Just thinking that the future generations will grow up in the huge shadow and depression, watching the 36,000-kilometer-long giant tower reaching the sky in front of our eyes, Chinese children take the space elevator to go back and forth between the earth and the moon every day, but Western children can only squat Playing with mud on the ground, scientists feel like their hearts are going to break.

After playing the demonstration animation, Luo Jia shrugged his shoulders and said, "What you saw just now is our plan."

"The Starlink project of Mr. Musk and the North American authorities may be great, but we hope to build a bridge to connect the earth and the universe, and the name of this bridge is Channel 1."

After finishing these words, Luo Jia turned around, looking expectantly at the huge screen behind him.

In the dark starry sky, the central axis of station zero is like a gun barrel, pointing directly at the blue earth, and then a titanium javelin is fired from the opened mechanical ejection device, and a 36,000-kilometer nanotube line is connected to the back of the javelin.

Shua~

The timing and angle have been accurately calculated, and it will arrive at the sky above Weigu Island after a few hours of flight.

In the seventh year since Star Technology was founded, on February 15th, the space elevator project began!
