Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 147 Tianhe
At this moment, Li Qingsong's method of transporting water into space was roughly the same as that of transporting other goods. Semi-circular cable cars went up on one side of the space elevator and down on the other side.

As for where the water comes from, that's also very simple.

Many space elevators are built on islands, directly connected to the sea, with seawater flowing in continuously.

Those that are not near the sea are also built near rivers so that they can easily get water.

Thus, a total of 1000 space elevators, powered by 1000 corresponding large-capacity nuclear power plants, were simultaneously filled with water in the first batch of cable cars.

The total interior volume of these gondolas is approximately 2400 cubic meters, so each gondola can carry 2400 tons of water at a time.

After optimizing the technology, Li Qingsong has now been able to dispatch a truck every minute. This means 60 trips per hour, capable of transporting 14.4 tons of water!

At this moment, a total of 1000 cable cars are distributed at the bottom of 1000 space elevators, ready to depart.

send!
In an instant, amidst the dull, high-frequency noise, the heavy cable car loaded with sea water, river water, or lake water rushed out from the ground base at a powerful acceleration of up to tens of meters per square second.

In just a few seconds, they released a huge sonic boom, and their speed directly exceeded the speed of sound.

But this is just a starting point. The speed of sound alone is not enough.

Because the total length of this space elevator is about 41 kilometers, even if it flies at the speed of sound, it will take about hours to fly from one end to the other.

too slow.

They will reach speeds of about six times the speed of sound, or two kilometers per second, so, including acceleration and deceleration time, it will take them only about seven hours to reach the end of the space elevator.

One minute later, the 1000 cable cars had traveled a distance of 100 kilometers and arrived at the approximate location of the Karman Line.

The Karman line is traditionally the boundary between the Earth's atmosphere and outer space.

Once they cross this line, the cables will be in space.

At this moment, the second batch of 1000 cable cars departed simultaneously.

After the same one-minute flight, they crossed the Karman line and continued to head into deeper space. Then came the third batch, the fourth batch...

1000 space elevators built on the Earth's equator are like 1000 giant pillars.

Every minute, 1000 sonic booms occur across the Earth, like rolling thunder.

A vast amount of water rolled in and out, and in this earth-shattering movement, countless animals and plants were affected and died.

But Li Qingsong couldn't take care of them for the time being.

Anyway, I have already collected the genes and embryos of all animals. Even if they are extinct now, the worst that can happen is that I can cultivate them again after the earth's environment is restored in the future.

Everything comes first in the war at this moment. If we lose the war, we will lose everything we have.

If you win the war, what you lost will come back!

At the end of the space elevator, after waiting for several hours, the first batch of cable cars finally arrived.

In the distant space, countless stars twinkled. Li Qingsong didn't know which of them were real stars and which were Bluetuk spy satellites, and he didn't bother to care.

Since it couldn't be cleaned up anyway and there was no way to keep it secret, I might as well just let them see it.

Just like the spy satellites they have deployed around Venus, the Bluetuk people are too lazy to care about them.

The first batch of cable cars arrived at the terminal processing workshop. The linear velocity at the end of the space elevator has exceeded the Earth's orbital speed at this location, so the centrifugal force is dominant here.

It creates an effect similar to gravity, but in the opposite direction to that on Earth.

Under the action of gravity, the water in the first cable car flowed out of the hole and into a huge spherical plastic container.

This was specially made by Li Qingsong to bind the water in space and prevent it from dispersing due to the vacuum environment, which would cause unnecessary losses.

A plastic container filled with water has a radius of about 8.3 meters, which is just enough to hold about 2400 cubic meters of water for a cable car.

After the filling is completed and the plastic container is sealed, the cable car returns directly to the surface along the downward channel.

Then the second cable car, the third, the fourth...

These huge water balls were not released for the time being, but were temporarily transferred to a huge movable warehouse, continuing to wait for the right opportunity.

The Earth rotates once every 24 hours, and the end of this space elevator also rotates once every 24 hours.

When the end rotated to the closest orbit to Venus, the huge cargo hold loaded with huge water balls was thrown directly into the orbit closest to Venus without any acceleration, and began to fly at a speed of about 12 kilometers per second.

These cargo holds are not proper spaceships at all.

Apart from a huge cargo hold, it only has some thrusters and is very simple.

But these thrusters are enough to correct the cargo ship's trajectory and allow it to actually fly to Venus.

Of course, the cargo ship will not actually fly to Venus.

After completing the orbital correction, the cargo hold's hatch opened and began to decelerate. Then, like a dump truck dumping cargo, the giant water balls tumbled out and flew towards Venus.

The cargo spacecraft returned and continued to wait for the next batch of water balls.

This cycle repeats for 1000 space elevators.

In just one day, 144 million water balls with a radius of 8.3 meters and a mass of 2400 tons each appeared in the orbit from Earth to Venus.

Their containers are transparent, so the heat from the sun instantly heats the water inside, generating large amounts of water vapor, which immediately swells the containers.

There is enough pressure inside that the water remains in liquid form instead of spreading out directly and turning into molecular clouds.

On the second day, the number of water balls flying in space became 288 million, and then more and more.

Countless water balls are like shining pearls.

They are roughly evenly distributed on this waterway, like a dazzling road paved with pearls, or like a real river in the sky, extending from the earth to Venus.

Depending on the relative positions of Venus and the Earth, they need to fly for a minimum of 37 days and a maximum of 200 days to reach Venus, and then merge with Venus, bringing sufficient water to the extremely dry atmosphere of Venus.

Not long after the delivery began, Li Qingsong saw the Bluetuk people respond.

Under the attack of countless electromagnetic cannon projectiles and laser beams, huge pearls shattered one after another, and the water inside immediately flowed out.

The Bluetuk interception is coming.
