Chapter 453 Restarting the Project
As Chen Lin expected, the dispute at Qinglong Base was quickly resolved - the association held an emergency meeting the next day.
Such a situation at Qinglong Base is unacceptable to the Red Dragon Association. The dispute between the space elevator project and the launch platform itself has no contrast. Some of the objections within the association were resolved after a meeting. It quickly disappeared after that, and the final result was a bit surprising to Chen Lin.
The association actually followed his idea and fully adopted the meeting proposal to build the space elevator and launch platform at the same time!
The news was passed back to Anyun Base, and Chen Lin was somewhat relieved after learning about it.
"It seems that the Red Dragon Association has realized that neither project team can stop,"
Chen Lin spoke to Xiao Wu not far away. After hearing this, his guard and adjutant He also smiled and said: "Mr. Chen has a good idea. The association always needs to consider everything comprehensively. The best choice is to consider both the space elevator and the launch platform."
"That's right. The cost is a bit higher."
Chen Lin said calmly, "The space elevator is estimated to cost more than 100 billion. The launch platform may be less, but the cost will definitely not be that low. There is not a lot of land on this side of the earth. After all, Blue Starfish is an ocean planet. The platform will be built under the sea or in a high-altitude area. "
"High altitude may be a bit difficult. I feel that it is most likely. The sea area near the teleportation platform.”
Chen Lin nodded: "Blue Star has frequent heavy rains. The intensity of sea storms there can reach amazing intensity. They are the most violent phenomena in Blue Star's nature. According to the wind level, Blue Star's The wind force of the storm can easily reach level 12 or above, which at least means that the wind speed can exceed 140 kilometers per hour... Such wind speed can generate huge waves and set off huge waves, which will have a great impact on ships at sea and buildings above the sea. Threat. "
"In some extreme cases, the wind force of Blue Sea Star can exceed the highest level of wind level, reaching Category 12 or above, and the wind speed of this level of storm can exceed 250 kilometers/hour. It will have disastrous consequences. Most of the Qinglong base is built under the sea. We need to take this kind of special bad weather seriously."
"The launch platform will be completely destroyed by then. It goes without saying that the space elevator project is unusable. It is not known whether the elevator cables and external steel frame structures made of carbon nanotubes can withstand the raging of such horrific weather..."
< br> "In this way, the environment on Blue Sea Star is really not suitable as the original base for these projects, but the most suitable location we can currently deal with is on this planet... The storms there break out too frequently. It will definitely have an impact on our various projects."
After listening, Xiao Wu pulled out a piece of information from the file box on the side.
"Not only that, the storms raging on Blue Starfish actually pose a considerable threat to Blue Starfish's own ecological environment."
"Sweeping strong winds and huge waves can damage or destroy coral reefs, seagrass beds and other Important marine habitats swept to death a large number of organisms in shallow water, and part of the ecosystem was damaged as a result."
"The above is a rough statistics of the economic losses after the last storm we suffered. Let’s not talk about our other various losses. Let’s focus on the Blue Starfish itself that was affected after the storm swept through. The result of the above survey is that the storm killed at least 12% of the marine fish in the core area, most of them. In the category of shallow water activities, 40% of marine vegetation here is affected..."
"Storms will stir up seabed sediments, leading to a decline in water quality, and the suspension of sediments will reduce the light in the water, affecting the ocean The photosynthesis of plants, such as the blue algae area of the blue starfish, has been affected by severe weather many times, resulting in the death of a large number of algae, which in turn affects the normal operation of the entire marine food chain."
"After the last storm, the blue sea was detected. The air quality unit of Xingxing issued an early warning, informing Blue Star that severe pollution may occur, and the oxygen content in some areas even fell below the control line.”
Chen Lin nodded slightly and continued to listen to Xiao Wu: "The storm here will also cause the surface and deep seawater to mix, which will bring about drastic changes in nutrients. This mixing sometimes leads to an increase in nutrients in the seawater. , triggering algal blooms... Although these microalgae species only account for a small part of nature, they can produce harmful or toxic substances that cause various adverse effects, including damage to the food chain, animal death, and serious ecological hazards, with large numbers of deaths. Most of the fish are caused by the large-scale outbreak of these algae species."
After Xiao Wu finished speaking briefly, he said to Chen Lin: "Among the things that need to be solved over there, this one. It is also the key among the key. If the possible negative impact of the bad weather on Blue Sea Star cannot be solved, neither the launch platform nor the space elevator project will be able to be successfully launched."
"I believe our people will. There is a solution."
Chen Lin breathed a sigh of relief. The current situation is that the arrow has to be fired. Once Blue Star's plan to build a space elevator and launch platform is finalized, people's hearts will be moved. Even if there are a lot of problems on Lan Haixing, Qinglong Base will also come up with various solutions to deal with them.
Xiao Wu stopped saying anything, and Chen Lin brought all the documents that needed his approval and signature from Anyun Base in front of him. He had almost rested now, and it was time to start formal work.
The person in charge of the Anyun Base is now Chen Lin. In addition to reviewing various documents and approving related things, the main tasks he is responsible for every day are to travel to various parts of the Anyun Base under construction according to the schedule. Work inspection.
The Anyun Base in Taka Continent is extremely lively. The entire base is like a large construction site. The first thing to be completed is the external wall - it is similar to the outpost. The problem is that the surrounding environment is not stable. The outpost was just a small base opened up in the Forgotten Forest, because there are still a large number of otherworldly creatures in the Forgotten Forest, which are more or less threatening. , so the first step in the construction of the base was the external fence.
Currently, Anyun Base is also following the construction plan of an outpost. Although there are no intelligent creatures on the Taka Continent, the strength of various beasts and monsters here is comparable to the early Forgotten Forest. It's always good to err on the side of caution.
“According to the current construction progress, the entire Anyun base will be almost completed in about three and a half months.”
Chen Lin signed his name on a document again , the document is for applying for the mobilization of a batch of construction materials, with a total value of about 40 million. By then, this batch of construction materials will be mainly used for housing construction and special pipeline laying in the upper left corner of Anyun Base...< br>
"Three and a half months may not be enough, brother."
Xiao Wu interrupted at this time: "There is a long period of time when the weather is very hot, and the amount of work will be reduced accordingly. Even if you want to rush back at night, it is not that easy.”
Chen Lin heard that it made sense. He had not paid attention to the specific construction process of the outpost before, but just took it for granted that the project was done every day. It was carried out in full amount. Now that I think about it carefully, I really made an empiricist error.
"In this case, it may take about six months?" "It shouldn't take more than six months, five months is about the same."
Xiao Wu estimated that he had watched the entire process of the construction of the outpost. When he first followed Professor Yu instead of Chen Lin, what he saw the most was about the outpost at the Hongshan Base. Although he didn't directly handle things like the base's construction schedule, personnel mobilization, and construction scheduling, he could see it more and more or less and understand it more or less.
"Five months...well."
Chen Lin groaned, which means that he will still need to stay here for the next few months, but speaking of it, he There was nothing special to deal with, and the time spent at Anyun Base was quite fulfilling. Although he could no longer run around and play, Chen Lin was aware of all kinds of news.
His current identity is more complicated than before. Ever since the White Eagle Association staff half-guessed and half-coaxed him to recognize him at the last air show, Chen Lin has never appeared alone in various media reports. Or on the voice channel.
“By the way, brother, the transmission department contacted us a few days ago and said that there is a special project that is currently in the testing phase, and it may be carried out for several rounds on Blue Sea Star. Testing, saying that I need your help..."
Chen Lin saw the appearance of the person sent by the teleportation department from Xiao Wu. The guy was obviously the deputy of the teleportation department, and he became the acting head of the teleportation department after he became the boss!
"What project?"
"It's called quantum phase..."
"It's a phase portal."
Chen Lin said directly Then he continued, "The official term is called quantum phase shuttle. A lot of these things were found in the crashed spacecraft on the Blue Sea Star. It was because it was discovered that there seemed to be a large number of Kara Zerg in the world behind the portal. The phase portal technology is somewhat incomprehensible to us, so we have put it on hold for the time being... But it seems that we have restarted the research on phase portals?”
Xiao Wu nodded repeatedly: "The person asked you to contact them when you are free, and there may be new arrangements then."
Chen Lin responded, and immediately had no intention of inking, and took out his mobile phone. I made a phone call with the deputy in the transmission department.
The deputy seemed a little flattered, and explained the matter clearly after he figured it out - Chen Lin thought well. The teleportation department also conducted research on phase teleportation gates under the arrangement of the Red Dragon Association. They were at the outpost The base has opened a separate laboratory to test the characteristics of this type of portal, and with the support of new technology, it has been relatively smooth to master the relevant content of phase portals.
The so-called phase portal is different from the mysterious magical power on the Origin Star, but a pure display of future technology - the technical principle of this phase shuttle is to use quantum entanglement and phase space theory, through distortion The basic structure of space-time, creating a temporary passage connecting two distant points.
This kind of phase shuttle, or phase portal, needs to rely on core energy to start and maintain. The energy devices found in the spacecraft are actually special batteries for these things.
As for what the phase portal can do?
This thing can instantly transmit matter or information from one location to another, no matter how far away it is.
Its application fields are extremely wide. Whether it is used for interstellar travel, emergency rescue, rapid deployment of troops and other operations, or for transmitting special information and ensuring communication between interstellar, phase portals can be used.
This thing is actually a kind of signal repeater, but it also takes into account the task of transmitting items.
At first, Chen Lin was very interested in this thing, thinking that its appearance was a sign that he could take care of himself in old age. As a result, the Kara zerg appeared later and there were problems that were difficult to break through with technology. In addition, it didn’t take long for Chen Lin to His abilities were upgraded with the help of ores from the Omir continent, which made him completely uninterested in phase portals.
Now Chen Lin can easily open the portal out of thin air with his wave of his hand. With this portal, he can even directly return to the earth from the Blue Sea Star, ignoring the Origin Star... The phase portal cannot be used for cross-world teleportation, and its function is average. After setting it up, you can use these things to freely travel through the galaxy.
The key point is that opening this thing requires a lot of energy. Without the use of a dedicated energy block, it is impossible to keep it open normally. In contrast, the portal that Chen Lin can open directly explodes these things.
It’s just that Chen Lin is still aware of the value of this thing. Once the phase portal technology is thoroughly understood by the association, it will definitely be applied on a large scale. Let’s not talk about the synchronization of the space elevator and the launch platform here. Now, the phase portal technology is gradually maturing and mastering. The Red Dragon Association has obviously paved multiple roads for itself to prevent the situation from getting out of control. If one road fails, it can take another road...
Chen Lin agreed to the time agreed by his deputy. He needed to get things done at Anyun Base as soon as possible, and then go to Blue Star to test the content related to the phase portal. Speaking of these things It’s not particularly stressful, but you can take your time.
In fact, if you think about this time two years ago, the Red Dragon Association was still ranked second in global technology. It could be said that it was restricted and excluded everywhere on the earth.
But now two years later, the Red Dragon Association has relied on the Origin Star and a large number of affiliated planets to obtain a massive amount of materials and a technology tree that cannot be studied in a while. The boss on the earth is no longer on the same track as him. I couldn't help but feel sad that I wasn't even qualified to play together.
Who could have thought of phase portal related content at that time?
When I talked about phase portal technology before, everyone would realize that it was a concept in the field of science fiction. In reality, there is no scientific basis or technical means to realize this technology.
But now the situation has changed suddenly. The phase portal has now really appeared here in a majestic manner, but everyone no longer feels that there is anything to be excited about. It is as simple as drinking water and eating vegetables...
Chen Lin couldn't help but sigh, the times are really changing, and people's cognition and tolerance are becoming stronger and stronger.
This is a good thing.
