Global Monopoly of Technology

Star Arrow International, Tianti Engineering Project Department.

This morning, Luo Sheng came to Star Arrow International to attend the meeting with Liu Jianwei's team and others, and Zheng Tao was also present.

"In the past two years, the Forerunner 2 space station has actually been built and sealed, and the biggest project below is a 'splicing game'." Zheng Tao spoke at the meeting.

Modern manufacturing is all modular manufacturing, and then assembled like building blocks. The domestic technical experience in this area is very rich. After all, a 100,000-ton aircraft carrier can be built in a year for sea trials, large-scale and supporting Chemical manufacturing is the biggest secret, which requires a strong and complete industrial system to do it.

Incompetent for non-superpowers.

Both Forerunner space stations have to be built on the ground first, then launched, docked in space, and assembled modularly.

Including the core of the ladder cable is actually completed on the ground, and the process is the most difficult. It is necessary to achieve a nano-scale carbon chain, and at such a small scale, it is necessary to ensure that a whole line is 36,000 kilometers long. If it is too long, it cannot be used if it is broken.

Coils of carbon nano-cables will be launched to the space factory of the Forerunner 2 space station, and then dozens of millions of nano-scale ropes will be glued together in the space factory to form the final thick and long ladder cable.

There are two sections of cables, one is connecting the low-orbit platform Pioneer 2 and the Pioneer 1 space station running in synchronous orbit, the distance between the two is more than 36,000 kilometers, which is the longest section and the most difficult section.

The other section is the base of the orbiting star port sky tower connecting the low-orbit platform Pioneer 2 space station and the surface equator line. This section is relatively short, with a length of only more than 400 kilometers, compared with the former 36,000 The ultra-long span of 1,000 kilometers is equivalent to about 1% of the former.

At the meeting, Luo Sheng folded his arms and turned his head to ask Zheng Tao, "When will the No. 1 space station be built? Besides, Professor Liu, how is the rope?"

Zheng Tao took the lead in replying: "The ground engineering phase of Pioneer 2 will be completed, at least until around 2026, at least five years. The storm will be the main focus for the next three years to restore modern industry and economy. , the capacity efficiency is unlikely to be as good as it was before the storm.”

Later, Professor Liu Jianwei replied: "The progress of the process of the ladder cable has been completed by about 28%, so it is calculated based on the current progress. If there is no accident, before the full deployment of the Pioneer space station, the rope must be ready. ."

Hearing this, Luo Sheng glanced at the ceiling and nodded to himself: "So, Pioneer 1 will be built in 2026, and it will be 29 or 30 years after the completion of the space deployment, and the ladder will be fully completed. about ten years,

This efficiency cannot be said to be fast, and of course it cannot be said to be slow. "

Everyone present at the meeting felt ashamed. Hearing Luo Sheng's tone, he still felt that the progress of the project was slow, and he was not satisfied.

Is this efficiency too slow?

You must know that this is not an ordinary project. It is a vast project unprecedented in the history of human civilization. In addition, there have been twists and turns during the period, and the storm has been tossing for a round. Instead, Europeans and Americans will do this project, giving them half a century to do it. Maybe, maybe half of the time is spent arguing about whether this project can pass or not, and finally came to the conclusion that it could not be built, and it was rejected.

Luo Sheng looked at the crowd and said, "The ladder is a thing, the merit is in the local area, and the benefits are in the future. Of course I hope it can be faster, faster, faster, but it must be stable and fast. Everything, try to be as fast as possible under the premise of ensuring this, and I will not be stingy if I can buy time with money.”

Zheng Tao smiled and said: "Mr. Luo, the funds for the ladder are full, but it really can't be spent. It has reached its limit."

It’s hard to make money. In fact, it’s even harder to spend money. I’ll give you 100 billion and let you use this money reasonably. Not everyone has the ability to spend this money. It’s hard. In a "reasonable" word.

What's more, the ladder project is always spending trillions of dollars.

After the solar storm, the people in all parts of the country live as usual. Before the storm came, they were quite frightened, but after it came, they found that it was not as bad as they thought.

As long as people are there, nothing is a problem.

At present, most people in China have obtained a low-interest loan, which relieves their urgent needs, and citizens in some cities who are burdened with huge mortgage pressure have also obtained corresponding loans, so as not to default.

As time goes by, the radio stations are also sending good news one after another, and the communication will be restored soon, and the coastal areas will be able to resume the Internet after December.

Everything is slowly getting better, and Chinese people are naturally full of hope for the future, at least not despair.

In stark contrast, there is basically no hope in foreign countries, and even despair in some places, and the number of deaths caused by secondary disasters is still increasing.

The large-scale migration of people in high latitudes caused by solar storms has made it possible to initially control the crisis of the recurrence and spread of the Sequoia epidemic.

...

Mapleton City, Oregon.

Dozens of reporters surrounded a company building, and when they saw a middle-aged man walking out, they rushed over immediately.

"Mr. Victor, there are recent rumors that your lead gene has taken some extreme actions in the process of doing life science research and forcibly kidnapped some people for human genetic modification experiments. What is your company's response to this? ?"

Faced with the crowd of reporters, Victor stopped, turned to look at the reporters and responded: "Ridiculous, these remarks are nothing but baseless rumors, if this is the truth I am facing now it is not You, but the FBI. The world is already chaotic enough, when will you media give up hype and dig up really valuable and meaningful news? How many of you know that our scientific researchers are doing something to deal with the Sequoia epidemic How much effort did you put in?"

"The slogan of Pioneer Gene is people-oriented, our ideal has never changed, and we are committed to the exploration of human genetic life science. To enhance human potential, we always believe that Pioneer Gene will use the power of technology to create a better future for all mankind."

After speaking, Victor turned around and left, ignoring the successive questions of the reporters, and his accompanying bodyguards blocked the reporters.

Victor got into his car and drove away.

This special car also has a lot of background. It has a history of 87 years. It was produced in 1934. This car is "Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost". Only 491 cars were produced. It was forced to stop production after the outbreak of World War II. The appearance of the model also marks the birth of a new series of car madness - luxury sedans.

This luxury car was originally intended as a collectible, but now that the storm has passed, the modern car is basically finished.

Victor left the city of Mapleton in this classic luxury car and drove into the Mapleton Forest Reserve, where a secret research institute was established that is not known to outsiders.

Inside an isolation laboratory, Victor entered here.

"Boss!"

"How's the experiment going?" Victor said succinctly, glancing at an experimenter lying on the experimental table, whose hands and feet were fixed, including the waist.

A researcher present came to Victor and said, "There are still some issues that have not been resolved."

"Huh?" Victor stared at him: "Could it be that something went wrong with your mutation experiment?"

Victor's speech and attitude are the same as his appearance, and it doesn't give the impression that it is not a good thing. The employees up and down the Pioneer gene are actually very afraid of their bosses.

The researcher quickly explained: "There is no problem with Boss, the mutation experiment has been proven to be successful, and you are the best example."

Victor immediately ordered: "Then inject K-092 mixture into him."

The researcher quickly explained: "It's not good yet, Boss, he's not completely ready, at least a dozen data samples have not been analyzed yet, if you inject K-092 mixture into him now, it's likely to cause a rejection reaction. , cannot guarantee his safety."

As soon as he finished speaking, Victor suddenly grabbed the researcher's neck with his hand, only to hear the sound of a spinal fracture resounding, so that the researcher broke his neck with one hand on the spot, and then stayed aside and died on the spot.

This is not a power that ordinary humans can have.

I saw him turn to look at another researcher in the laboratory, "Do I need to repeat it with you?"

"Yes! Yes! I obey orders..."

After the almost frightened researcher reacted, he started to do as he was too frightened, Victor sneered and said, "You can test, the test subjects died violently, and more test subjects will be sent. To you, in the current chaotic world, people are dying every day, and no one will care."

Leading Gene has taken advantage of the chaos to capture a lot of civilians for in vivo experiments. Now there is not much attention to this situation at all. The arrested people have issued death certificates to these people through some means, and died of fire and the sun. Various secondary disasters such as storms.
