After Chen Lin came back, he was immediately notified of a meeting on Origin Star. The level of participants in the meeting was high enough, basically the heads of major bases and several high-level regional managers.
These personnel are crucial to the Origin Star. Each of them basically has the ability to give orders to half a continent or even an entire continental plate.
After Chen Lin settled Lin Yun, he headed to the outpost through the teleportation array. On the way there, Assistant Zhao gave him a detailed explanation of the general content of the meeting to be held next.
The feeling is that the Red Dragon Association is ready to build a space elevator on the Origin Star, and is preparing to set up a space station on the Origin Star.
The main purpose of this meeting was actually to discuss the location of the space elevator. At the beginning, Chen Lin heard that the group of scientific researchers from the Red Dragon Association planned to make the base of the space elevator look like It is the same as the Blue Starfish, set on the sea.
But the situation on the Blue Starfish side is special. The base is set up on the sea because there is only ocean there.
The entire Blue Sea Star Qinglong base is built based on the portal of the northern base. Although it is on the sea, it is very convenient and fast overall.
The space elevator on the Origin Star cannot be set up like the space elevator on the Blue Star. There are so many continental plates on the planet, and most of the portals are concentrated in the middle or inland of each continental plate. area, the sea is indeed not a good choice.
Chen Lin simply passed the security check at the door and entered the venue alone. At this time, there were many people in the venue, most of whom were familiar with Chen Lin. They greeted him quickly after seeing him come in.
“I said, if you can’t do this good thing, just leave it to me!”
The person in charge of Omir Continent said to everyone, "You all have all kinds of good things, but I only have a mining industry here, and I don't even have anything close to me."
“You can bring down Fatty Wu!”
Zhong Qingshu immediately said something to him: “The association spends so much money on you every year, but you still don’t make enough from the normal temperature superconducting mine. How many? You still want to eat the space elevator, why don’t you die!”
Wu Qianqi, the person in charge of Olmi Continent, suddenly laughed and said, “Old Zhong, it’s boring for you to do this. Who doesn’t know that you are very rich growing food in Dalad Continent? You must not argue about this matter today, leave it to our brothers..."
Stu on the side The person in charge of Tega Continent laughed and interjected: "If that doesn't work, just build things here in Stuttgar. Anyway, the core base of our association is here. I think it doesn't matter if there are more space elevators!"
Wu Qianqi was about to speak again, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Chen Lin, who was smiling but silent. The expression on his face suddenly changed: "It's over! Why is this kid here!"
Everyone glanced at Chen Lin and heard Wu Qianqi say: "Now that Xiao Chen is here, as long as he speaks out, then this thing will definitely become his!"
Everyone They all nodded. They knew very well what level Chen Lin's status was. Everyone present was a senior member of the association. After Chen Lin's identity was partially lifted, they understood Chen Lin's ability. They were so shocked that every time Chen Lin showed up, they would treat him like a distinguished guest.
There is actually a reason for this.
"Brothers and uncles, please don't praise me. There are already a lot of things going on in my Anyun base. I will not take the initiative to snatch this space elevator project. If there is a suitable one, then choose the right one. Yes, if I choose Anyun Base in the end, I will never refuse.”
Zhong Qingshu burst out laughing after listening to Chen Lin's words: "Brother Chen is really getting better and better in speaking now, so my attitude is similar to Brother Chen's. I won't argue with you anymore. Next, it depends on the association." We will fully support him while arranging whose continental plate and base will be responsible for this matter!”
“Of course, if the final address is determined to be my Dalad, or Brother Chen’s Taka! Anyun Base, then no one can gossip!"
Everyone agreed, and people from the Red Dragon Association quickly arrived. Chen Lin then noticed that the person presiding over the meeting this time was actually As the vice president of the association, he not only brought the person in charge of the space elevator project team, but also the managers responsible for the progress of the Blue Star Space Elevator project. A whole set of scientific research teams also appeared at the venue.
The vice president looked around and signaled that the scene should be quiet.
After everyone stopped talking, he smiled and said: "Everyone, we are gathered here today to discuss the important matters of establishing a space elevator project on the Origin Star."
"This project is of great significance to our association and even to mankind as a whole. I hope everyone here can go all out and contribute to this project."
"Because before We have already carried out similar projects on Blue Star, and we basically have project experience, so the core construction issue is no longer our key issue. Now our priority is the location selection of the space elevator, which is also the focus of today’s meeting. One of the main reasons for holding it.”
“Let’s ask the project leader to talk about the basic contents required to build a space elevator.”
The vice president moved forward after speaking. He waved to the side, and immediately a person in work clothes stood up. He nodded to the vice president and others in front of him, then nodded to the head of the department, and then finally sat facing here. Chen Lin and other base leaders.
He is a young scientist with a love and persistence for science in his eyes. He first briefly introduced himself. Only then did Chen Lin know that this guy was only 27 years old, even older than himself. One year younger.
It's just that this young man has fully participated in and designed the entire Blue Star Space Elevator, and has made an indelible contribution to the entire space elevator project.
This young man spoke very clearly. He first introduced the principle and design of the space elevator to everyone in detail, and then introduced the progress of the current project. The space elevator on the Origin Star has completed the initial stage. In the data demonstration stage, many technologies are mature. Blue Star has provided a lot of help for the current work on the Origin Star, so there are almost no big problems.
However, he quickly mentioned that although the space elevator project on the Origin Star has completed preliminary design and theoretical research, it still encountered some minor problems in the ongoing experimental verification and project implementation. The environmental factors on the planet are completely different from those on the Blue Starfish.
The ocean on the Blue Sea Star actually reduces the difficulty of construction on that planet, and the engineering project on the Origin Planet still needs to overcome many new technical and engineering difficulties.
“The base addresses we have currently selected include these places, please take a look.”
He signaled the staff on site to turn on the projection equipment, and a holographic projection immediately appeared in front of everyone. Everyone saw the planet map of the Origin Star, with several light spots flashing on it. When they clicked on it, they saw the continent of Taka and the North Island. The base of the boundary and the Stuttgart continental plate.
"The best areas we have chosen so far are in these places. Let me explain in detail the reasons for choosing these areas." The young man clicked on one of the areas, and Chen Lin noticed that it was Taka. Mainland China, in fact, this place falls under his jurisdiction, but he didn't say anything, and he would attract trouble by speaking out at this time.
The young man talked about the advantages of Taka Continent in detail, basically describing some of the advantages of geographical location. What the space elevator project team needs to ensure is that both on the ground and in space It is connected to the orbiting space station in China, and its geographical location is very important. No one at the scene dared to refute this.
In the conference room, the explanation given by the project team leader gave everyone a deeper understanding of the space elevator.
Everyone soon realized that building such a huge project required complex and diverse environmental factors to be considered. Not only were there benefits, it also required them to invest a lot of money and manpower.
The leader of the project team cleared his throat and continued to explain: "Everyone, building a space elevator is not only a technical challenge, but also an environmental challenge - we need to consider more than just the space elevator itself. Technical issues, but also taking into account its impact on the surrounding environment."
He turned to a huge screen showing a schematic of the Earth and space elevators.
He pointed to the screen and said: "First of all, the establishment of the space elevator will have an impact on the space environment of the Origin Star. The cables of the space elevator will collide with satellites and space debris in the orbit of the Origin Star, which may It will cause pollution to the space environment and even affect the normal operation of the satellite. "
The project team leader continued: "Secondly, the establishment of the space elevator will also have an impact on the climate of the origin star, and the cables of the space elevator will. Blocking part of the solar radiation may have an impact on the climate of the origin star and even cause climate change.”
Zhong Qingshu was shocked when he heard this. He did not expect that the construction of the space elevator would have an impact on the climate on the Origin Planet. Planting land on his side of Dalad was the top priority. If the space elevator project caused If there is a problem with planting, then it will be bad.
At this time, he was somewhat fortunate that the space elevator project did not choose to be on the Dalad continent this time.
The project team leader added: “Finally, the establishment of the space elevator will also have an impact on the biodiversity of the Origin Star. The establishment of the space elevator requires a large amount of land and resources, which may have an impact on the Origin Star’s biodiversity. Biodiversity has an impact and even causes an ecological crisis. The most suitable location currently considered by the project team is actually the northern base. The environment there is relatively unique. In addition, it is still in an extremely cold zone and has a small number of organisms. It’s more appropriate.”
After saying this, everyone at the scene was silent. They realized that what the project team leader said several times was actually to persuade them to seriously consider space. Elevator related content.
The project team leader pointed to the northern base on the screen and continued to explain: "After careful consideration, we believe that the northern base is the most suitable location to build a space elevator."
"First of all, the environment of the northern base is very unique. It is located in an extremely cold zone with extremely low temperatures, which helps to reduce the wear and tear of the space elevator cable and extend its service life."
The project team leader continued to explain : "Secondly, the number of creatures in the Northern Base is smaller, which is indeed an advantage for building a space elevator. In addition, the geographical location of the Northern Base is also very advantageous. It is located near the North Pole of the Origin Star, which helps reduce the number of space elevators. The friction between the cable and the rotation of the origin star improves the operating efficiency of the space elevator."
"This is for the time being. Do you have any other opinions?"
The vice president sat on the stage. He didn't say anything. The main purpose of his coming this time was actually to hold such a meeting to determine the final location of the space elevator. The actual content was too far away for him. Professional matters certainly require professional talents. to handle.
Chen Lin immediately agreed with the project leader's statement, and Zhong Qingshu was the second to support it.
After the two people here expressed their opinions, Wu Qianqi, who was sitting not far away, immediately decisively gave up the idea of setting up a space elevator on his Omir continent. He did not directly express his opinions and fully supported the project team's plan to build a space elevator in the north. The idea of building a space elevator at the base.
“...In addition, the space elevator itself is close to the portal of the Northern Base. The portal ensures that the resources of the Blue Starfish on the other side of the Northern Base can be continuously transported to support, which can also reduce our Early investment.”
“So the best location is the northern base?”
“That’s pretty much it.”
“Then I support it. Project Team! ”
"Agree!"
"Indeed, I also support the project team."
Everyone at the scene expressed their opinions one after another. After the vice president glanced at it, he smiled and said: " But it’s all planned?”
“It’s planned!”
Wu Qianqi took the lead and said: “Although this space elevator has endless benefits in the later stage, it needs to be set up in the early stage. It consumes a huge amount of resources, and it may have various impacts on an entire continental plate on the planet. After careful consideration, I decided to give it up.”
"Director Wu is really thoughtful."
Zhong Qingshu joked at the side, Wu Qianqi glanced at him, "How about you put this thing on Dalad? Look at your side. Is there any problem with the place?”
“You!”
A few people talked to each other, but Chen Lin smiled and looked at the excitement. He thought it at first. The space elevator could really be built on the Taka continent, but as the person's words deepened, he realized that building it on the Taka continent was not necessarily a good thing.
Everyone at the scene was arguing and talking again. The vice president was not in a hurry. He sat on it with a smile and chatted with the project team members. He saw Chen Lin doing nothing at the side. , simply waved to Chen Lin and told him to come up and sit with him.
Chen Lin didn't have any other ideas at all, and walked up directly. Only after the two people sitting next to the vice president chatted with each other with a smile did everyone see this scene.
The venue suddenly became quiet. They all looked at Chen Lin in surprise as he was chatting and laughing with the vice president, and they didn't know what to say. (End of this chapter)
