Chapter 1574: There is a plan long ago

The celebration of the ignition day has come to an end, but the excitement burning in people’s hearts has not been cooled in the slightest, but has been pushed to a new peak.

Space elevator!

This magnificent project originally existed only in people’s imagination. No one has ever thought that in the future, it will truly enter their livelihood.

Now it seems that this day is coming soon.

No matter what other viewers who are watching this event sitting in front of the TV set think, at least for those sitting in the venue, there is almost no doubt that Lu Zhou is in peace with They are joking.

After all, just three days ago, they were sitting here with their eyes to witness such a miracle. The shock of the aurora that enveloped the night sky of the entire city group would not have been simply forgotten in this life.

Besides, let’s talk about it again. Even century-old problems such as the second-generation controllable fusion cannot stop him from moving forward. What is a space elevator worth?

They are willing to believe in his abilities and vision.

Even now, it looks very much like a big cake …

The bustling crowd is pouring out of the stadium in the heart of Asia, with the guidance of staff and security Divert to the light rail station and parking lot.

Although everyone in the crowd can’t hear what they are talking about excitedly, the expressions on their faces have written everything they want to say on their faces.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the Heart of Asia lounge, watching the crowds flowing downstairs, the corner of Li Guangya’s mouth slightly raised a proud arc.

After hearing the footsteps coming from behind him, he put his hands behind his back and looked at the reflection of projection on the floor-to-ceiling window with a smile.

“Did you see the expressions on people’s faces?”

Walking to his side, Lu Zhou moved towards the square outside the floor-to-ceiling window and replied with a casual tone. .

“See, what’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing, just a bit of emotion,” Li Guangya narrowed his eyes and continued with a spirited expression. “On the council report five years ago, I reported on the strategic significance of the space elevator, but the attitude of most of the board members was mocking. Although I did not do this to prove anything, I have to admit that this feeling is quite pleasant. “

Lu Zhou looked at him and asked.

“I don’t really understand one thing.”

“Which point?”

“Why are you so attached to the space elevator.”

“On the one hand, it may be because of feelings,” Li Guangya laughed. After a pause, he changed his tone and continued to say, “on the other hand, because I have seen a thesis …… or a research report. “

” Report? “

” About the value of the development and utilization of resources outside the asteroid belt. “

In short language, Li Guangya and Lu Zhou described the contents of that research report.

As everyone knows, since the industrial system on the fire star colony has matured, the frontier of human civilization has expanded from the fire star orbit to the asteroid belt between fire star and Jupiter.

A large amount of low-purity and easy-to-use high-purity ore provided by the asteroid belt supports the huge heavy industry system on fire star and supplies continuously livelihood materials and consumer goods to the society on Earth.

However, since the expansion of human civilization into the asteroid belt, the natural expansion of this territory seems to have stopped.

At first, many sociological scholars and experts have given the point that after their society has developed into an unprecedented stage of prosperity, it has fallen into the trap of excessive prosperity because there is no crisis of survival. As a result, society as a whole has lost its motivation.

However, the research report gave a different view.

It interprets this special social phenomenon from an unprecedented perspective.

Based on efficiency and economic value as the fundamental driving force of all social activities, that research report established a simple mathematical model and derived a concept called “effective economic zone”.

That is, within the scope of this effective economic zone, human social activities have more than positive economic effects. However, once it exceeds this range, the economic effect will decrease with various factors such as distance and flight time.

The size of an effective economic zone is usually determined by various factors such as technological strength, industrial scale, and distribution area. At present, the asteroid belt between fire star and Jupiter is this ” Effective economic zone “.

Mining resources from the World outside the asteroid belt, sending them to the fire star for processing, and then transporting the finished products back to Earth. Supply chains beyond the effective economic zone will appear to be cost-effective. It is profitable, so few companies put the World outside the asteroid belt into their own plans after costing.

Since the author of this research report is a well-known Economics professor of the Pan-Asian Academy, it is still very influential in the field. Although Li Guangya was not born to study finance, he believes that the future of pan-Asian cooperation is in distant space, and he has been paying attention to this research.

After reading the research report, the idea of ​​building a space elevator emerged in his mind.

At present, the over-prosperous pan-Asian cooperation has begun to show signs of involution. Not only is the public at ease, but the entire society has lost its motivation for progress.

As an aspiring young man, he cannot sit idly by and watch this great alliance be overtaken by other emerging alliances. They also have not achieved the great goal of establishing a community of shared future for humanity.

Pan-Asian cooperation needs a super project that can drive the regional economy, expand the scope of effective economic zones, and enable its citizens to regain their pride and pride.

Space elevator is undoubtedly such an excellent choice.

Even if he made this decision, he was not the chairman of the Pan-Asian Cooperation at that time, and it did not prevent him from including the “wood construction plan” in his own governing program in advance.

What he is determined to do, he will definitely do it!

“I have to thank you for speaking of which,” Li Guangya glanced at Lu Zhou, said with a smile, “If it was not the time you woke up, I bet those people I must have labeled me a lunatic. “

Lu Zhou replied in a nonchalant tone.

“You’re welcome, it’s just a few sentences, but it’s much easier than the big trouble on Ceres … By the way, do you need my help for subsequent design work?”

Didn’t expect Lu Zhou, who has always been afraid of trouble, actually offered to help.

Li Guangya gave a slight stun and then said with a smile.

“Of course you are willing to help. Of course it is best! If you are not free, I will not force it here. As we said, you can provide us with some help at the necessary time, it is very Thank you. “

Lu Zhou gave him an unexpected glance.

“It looks like you were prepared a long time ago.”

“Of course,” Li Guangya smiled confidently and said leisurely, “When I was still the vice-chairman of the council, I I’m already preparing for this day. “

That was 5-6 years ago.

At that time, the research on space elevators was still not valued. After all, the key material problems were not solved, and no matter how much they talked about, they were also air towers. Therefore, no matter in academia or industry, this thing is not treated as a project that can be realized in a short period of time.

If he has not approved the funding of more than 1 billion credit points and implemented it into the field of space elevator design, the administrative force will be used to integrate the Pan-Asian Academy of Academy of Orbital Engineering and space facilities design The technical backbone of the Peak research institute such as the Institute set up the initial research and development team for the space elevator project. Now I am afraid that there is no need to worry about rice.

Now the problem of materials is finally solved, and Li Guangya is full of confidence in fulfilling his ambitions.

Although I’m curious where this guy came from, everything will be so smooth, but Lu Zhou didn’t say much, it was simply nodded.

“Since you have already prepared in advance, I will rest assured.”

The system not at all stipulates his participation in this project, as long as this leads to The space ladder was built on Earth, and his promotion mission was completed.

If possible, of course, he still hopes that they can complete this magnificent super project with their own strength, instead of relying on their own Ancestor for everything.

Although he has obtained endless time, this does not mean that his time is worthless.

But in fact, if you think about it, they have a big win.

After all, the most critical material problems have been solved for them.

The remaining problems should be small?
