Chapter 460 The space elevator is officially in operation!
"Really? That's the best thing. Academician Ning, if I really have better working conditions there, can I stay there for a while? Three years or five years is fine!"
Ning Chen felt a little helpless when he heard this. Of course, if Yue Jiafeng really wanted this, Ning Chen would not express any rejection.
"Of course, as long as Academician Yue is willing, there is no problem at all living there."
"Okay, I was just joking, it would be nice to experience a period of life there. Yes, if you stay there for too long you will definitely feel disconnected from society.”
The appearance of Ning Chen and Song Xiyun made Yue Jiafeng feel much better. When they came out of Yue Jiafeng's office, they were both happy for Yue Jiafeng's transformation.
“Ning Chen, now our second science fiction island is about to be completed. When will we go to the next science fiction island to live for a while and see if we can do anything else there? Research results."
"Well, we have to wait until the space elevator project is officially completed before we consider it. We have worked hard during this period, and it is really time to take a good rest."
“That’s natural. After the space elevator project is officially completed, we will definitely have to go up and experience it ourselves and confirm that there are no problems with the operation of the project before we can leave with peace of mind.”
< br>For such a decision, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun reached an agreement very easily. In the previous projects, Ning Chen had already developed this habit. Even the newly completed project may theoretically be There are certain risks, but Ning Chen will be the first member to experience it without hesitation.
As a project that he personally designed and participated in the construction, Ning Chen would definitely not dare to experience it personally. Ning Chen has always been very confident in his design and guidance during the construction process, and if Ning Chen If Chen himself doesn’t believe in the safety of the project, others will definitely not be able to ride with confidence.
Because of this, Ning Chen will actively set an example, and as Ning Chen's best partner, Song Xiyun also has very strong courage in this regard.
…………
With the completion of the final finishing work of the project, the construction of the entire space elevator project has finally been successfully completed.
With the full cooperation of the entire project team, this project did not last too long and was even earlier than the expected construction period. However, in the eyes of the project team members, this project The construction process is still very long, and the hardships involved are difficult to describe in words.
Seeing the towering space elevator project in front of them, everyone didn't know how to express their excitement for a moment.
“It’s not easy...it’s really not easy! This technology that has only existed in people’s imagination has now been actually built by us! And even after so many harassments Despite the situation, the progress of our project has not been seriously affected. Only we know the hardships involved!"
Yue Jiafeng, standing next to Ning Chen, unconsciously expressed this emotion.
After the official completion of the project, Yue Jiafeng, who went to Science Fiction Island for a brief relaxation, also rushed back to the project team immediately, unwilling to miss such an exciting moment.
What makes Ning Chen very gratified is that after living on the science fiction island for a period of time, Yue Jiafeng has indeed gotten rid of the strong self-blame he had before, and his overall condition is even better than usual. Even better.
"Yes, regardless of whether the resistance to the project is technical or otherwise, it will not affect our determination to succeed. What we need to do next is to conduct a trial operation of the space elevator project work to ensure that the entire project can be operated smoothly."
Everyone felt a little nervous when they heard Ning Chen's words.
After all, this is a very large and complex project. Even if the entire project has been shown in front of everyone, no one can immediately tell what its actual performance will be in the future. Conclusion, so everyone will inevitably feel a little nervous when thinking about the scene after the project is put into trial operation.
Ning Chen seemed to notice the progress mood in everyone's hearts, and continued to say to everyone:
"Don't worry, there is definitely no problem with the safety of the project, and I will also act as The first group of experiencers after the trial operation of the project come to experience the actual operation of our space elevator project. The number of places for this group of experiencers is limited. Whether you want to sign up is a voluntary matter. It depends on each of you. People’s thoughts.”
Naturally, Ning Chen would not force anyone on this matter. After all, everyone has their own assessment of the safety of the project, and Ning Chen would still understand this.
Of course, Ning Chen will not take the safety of himself and others lightly. As early as when the space elevator project was just completed, Ning Chen had already conducted countless simulations in his brain. , ensuring that the security of the entire project is very reliable.
Even after more than ten years or even longer operation, relying on the solid material body of the space elevator project, the safety of the project will still be very guaranteed, not to mention following the normal space elevator operating system , The space elevator will undergo frequent inspections and repairs. In this way, the safety performance and reliability of the space elevator will be further enhanced.
Under Ning Chen’s influence, many people were very motivated to experience the first batch of space elevator projects and actively signed up on the spot.
After all, even Ning Chen himself is not afraid of the risks when the project is run for the first time. In this regard, Ning Chen is still different from many leaders, which also makes them eliminate the fear of this new project. That subconscious feeling of fear.
Of course, there are still some people who still do not have the courage to sign up for the first trial run experience of the space elevator project. Perhaps in their hearts, the fear of facing new things is still too strong. Even with Ning Chen in charge, they Still can't overcome this fear.
However, the number of people who have signed up now far exceeds the quota for the first batch of space elevator experiences. No one will have any opinions on those who have not signed up. There are fewer people signing up. Their chances of being selected will also increase accordingly.
Ning Chen was also very excited when he saw everyone actively signing up. For the sake of fairness, Ning Chen decided to use a lottery to select some of the people who signed up to be shortlisted for the final list of experiencers. .
People like Song Xiyun and Yue Jiafeng, who have undertaken key tasks in the project team, naturally do not need to be restricted by the lottery process, but can directly experience it with Ning Chen. After selecting the final list, the lucky ones who were drawn were very excited. They all knew that this was a historic moment in human civilization. This was a key step for the Blue Star civilization to truly move into space. .
Those who were not selected were naturally a little disappointed because of this, but it just meant that they could not experience it for the first time. There would definitely be such an opportunity in the future.
“Now everyone should go back and prepare. After all, we are going to space, and necessary preparations still need to be carried out. If there are no problems, I will broadcast the trial run of this space elevator project live. , so that people all over the world can see the operation process of the space elevator..."
Hearing Ning Chen's words, everyone became more and more excited, knowing what this thing meant.
With the rapid development of Blue Star Civilization technology in recent years, people's attention to this high-tech technology has become much higher than before.
Because there are fewer and fewer poor people in the world, after everyone has met the most basic problems of food and clothing, they will gradually start to pay attention to some higher-level issues.
When Xingchen Technology officially announced the news, hundreds of millions of people soon learned of the news and were looking forward to the start of the trial operation of the space elevator project.
“I didn’t expect Xingchen Technology to complete the construction of the space elevator project so quickly. I really hope that they can successfully complete the trial operation of the first space elevator project, which marks the beginning of human civilization moving forward. A critical step has been taken.”
“It seems that the FBI’s previous attack on the Star Technology space elevator project did not have any substantial impact on the project, and their actual construction speed is even faster. It is expected that a lot will come out faster, which is really ironic.”
“I don’t know if Xingchen Technology’s live broadcast will be the same as the live broadcast of the FBI. Technology. Oh, please forgive me for saying something wrong. There is no evidence that the live broadcast of the FBI was conducted by Xingchen Technology."
"Academician Ning Chen is really a brave man. Every time a new project is just completed, Academician Ning Chen is one of the first people to experience it, so that everyone can trust the safety performance of these projects.”
Before the live broadcast of the space elevator project officially started, millions of people came to the live broadcast room of Xingchen Technology in advance to prepare to watch the live broadcast.
In fact, from the beginning to the end, Xingchen Technology has never really seriously developed various technologies related to live broadcasting, but even so, Xingchen Technology has accidentally reduced their live broadcasting level and live broadcast effect. It is the only one in the world.
Finally, it was time for the official trial operation of the space elevator to begin. In the live broadcast room, the entire space elevator frame could be clearly seen.
In order to give everyone a better experience, this live broadcast also adds the option of virtual reality technology. As long as the viewer has the corresponding equipment, he can get a better viewing effect, as if he is right there. Same as above on the space elevator.
"There are still five minutes until the first launch of the space elevator, please be ready."
Hearing the sound coming from the headphones, everyone checked their safety equipment again. Although artificial intelligence had already helped them confirm it in advance, everyone still checked it again out of habit.
At this moment, Ning Chen looked at Song Xiyun and Yue Jiafeng beside him, and couldn't help but be excited for the arrival of such a moment.
In order to complete the construction of the space elevator project, everyone is risking their lives, and at this moment, they can finally enjoy the fruits of their efforts over the past few days with peace of mind.
"Ning Chen, the space elevator is finally about to start. This feeling is so exciting. I really can't imagine what this will feel like in a while."
"Well, this feeling will be completely different from riding a spacecraft, more like riding a jumping machine in an amusement park. Of course, the intensity gap between the two is still very huge. The specific feeling is only We won’t know until we actually experience it.”
Listening to the chat between Ning Chen and Song Xiyun, Yue Jiafeng couldn't help but join in.
"Academician Ning, Teacher Song, judging from the state of the two of you, you are really not nervous at all now. If you are an ordinary person, even if you just take a ride on the amusement park jumping machine, you should be fine. It won’t be so easy.”
Ning Chen couldn’t help but laugh when he heard this: “Of course, apart from other factors, our space elevator project is actually better than the amusement park. The jumping machine is much safer. There is nothing to be nervous about riding on such a safe device."
On this point, Ning Chen did not bluff, because of this kind of confrontation. Confidence in the safety of space elevators is not blind, but has sufficient theoretical basis.
"Yes, Academician Yue, I have the same idea as Ning Chen. I believe that everyone on the space elevator will believe in its safety."
"There is no doubt about this, but I think even if we feel a little nervous, it is human nature. I still have to express my admiration for you two. It seems that I need to learn from you. There are many..."
While the three of them were chatting, time passed quietly minute by minute, and the first test run of the space elevator was about to begin.
"Five, four, three, two, one...start!"
With the command of the space elevator operation commander, the entire space elevator started running in an instant, and everyone felt a A very strong thrust quickly brought them to a very high speed.
And this uncomfortable feeling did not last long. It did not take long for this strong acceleration feeling to gradually disappear, because during the entire process of riding the space elevator, there was still a lot of discomfort. For a long period of time, it moves almost in a straight line at a constant speed.
