Global monopoly of technology

Star Arrow International, the project department of the Heavenly Ladder Project.

This morning Luo Sheng came to Star Arrow International then and Liu Jianwei team and other people attending the meeting, Zheng Tao was also present.

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

Modern manufacturing, are modular manufacturing, and then assembled like building blocks, this aspect of the domestic technical experience accumulated very rich, after all, a year to build a 100,000-ton aircraft carrier launched sea trials, scale, supporting manufacturing is the biggest secret, which requires a strong and complete industrial system to do.

Non-superpowers are not competent.

The two Forerunner space stations are to be built on the ground first, then launched up, completed in space docking, modular assembly.

Including the most core of the sky ladder cable is actually also completed on the ground manufacturing, and the process is the most difficult, must be achieved nanoscale carbon chain, and under such a small scale to ensure that a whole line up to 36,000 km long, broken can not be used.

Reel after reel of carbon nanocables will be launched to the space factory of the Forerunner 2 space station, and then the space factory will be dozens of millions of nanoscale ropes for bonding to form the final thick and long ladder cable.

There are two sections of the cable, one is to connect the low-orbit platform Forerunner 2 with the Forerunner 1 space station operating in synchronous orbit, the distance between the two more than 36,000 kilometers, is the longest section, but also the most difficult section.

And the other section is connecting the low orbit platform Forerunner 2 space station with the surface equatorial line of the ring orbit starport sky tower base, this section is relatively very short, the length of only four hundred kilometers, compared to the former thirty-six thousand kilometers of the ultra-long span, equivalent to about 1% of the former.

At the meeting, Luo Sheng wrapped his arms around his head and looked at Zheng Tao to ask: "When will the first space station be built? Also Professor Liu, how is the rope building going?"

Zheng Tao was the first to return: "Forerunner 2 ground engineering stage to be completed, at least until around 2026, at least about five years, the storm so tossed the next three years are to restore modern industry and economy, capacity efficiency is unlikely to be worthy of the storm before."

Then, Professor Liu Jianwei returned: "The process progress of the sky ladder cable has been completed about 28%, in terms of the current progress, if there is no accident, before the completion of the full deployment of the Forerunner space station, the rope is certainly how can be ready."

Luo Sheng smiled and looked at the ceiling, nodded to himself and said, "So, the Forerunner 1 was built in 26 years, the completion of space deployment to 29 years, 30 years to go, the full completion of the ladder will be about ten years, this efficiency can not say fast, of course, can not say slow."

The hearts of the participants sweat, listen to Luo Sheng this tone or suspected that the project progress is slow, ah, not very satisfied.

This efficiency is still slow?

You know this is not a normal project, is the history of human civilization unprecedented vastness of the project, coupled with the period and twists and turns, the storm tossed a round, replace the European and American people to do this project, give them half a century of time can not get, maybe half the time are arguing whether the project can be passed, and finally concluded that can not be built, to deny.

Luo Sheng looked to the crowd and said, "Ladder this thing, the work in the local, benefit in a thousand years, I certainly hope it can be faster, faster, faster, but must be stable in the fast, stable word in the head, overriding everything, in ensuring this premise as fast as possible, can use money to buy time, I will not be stingy."

Zheng Tao laughed: "Mr. Luo, the ladder is full of funds, but it really can't spend it, it's already at its limit."

Earning money is difficult, in fact, spending money is even more difficult, throwing a hundred billion to you, let you use the funds reasonably, this money is not anyone has the ability to spend it, it is difficult in a "reasonable" two words.

Moreover, the sky ladder project is not moving is trillions of units to do expenditure.

After the solar storm, the domestic side of the country's people live as usual, the storm before descending or quite fearful, but after descending found that it is not as bad as imagined.

As long as people are there, everything is not a problem.

At present, most of the people in the country have got a low-interest loan to relieve their urgent needs, and some of the citizens in the cities who are carrying huge mortgage pressure have also got the corresponding loans to not default.

As time passes day by day, the radio stations are also bringing good news one after another, this is not communication will soon be restored, and the coastal areas will be able to resume the Internet after December.

Everything is slowly getting better, the country is naturally full of hope for the future, at least not despair.

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

The solar storm triggered a massive migration of people from high latitudes, allowing the crisis that had been able to initially control the recurrence and spread of the Sequoia pandemic again, which can really be described as a blessing and a curse.

......

Mapleton City, Oregon.

Dozens of reporters blocked in front of a company building, and when they saw a middle-aged man walking out from it, these reporters immediately swarmed around.

"Mr. Victor, recently there are rumors that your pioneer genetics in the process of doing life science research, took some extreme behavior, forcibly took away some people for human genetic modification experiments, to this please ask your company has and response?"

Faced with a crowd of reporters, Victor stopped and turned to look at a group of reporters and responded, "Ridiculous, these remarks are nothing but baseless rumors, if this is the truth I am now facing not you, but the FBI. The world is already chaotic enough, when will you media give up the hype and dig up the real valuable and meaningful news? And how many of you know how much effort our researchers have made to deal with the Sequoia pandemic?"

"The slogan of Pioneer Gene is people-oriented, our ideal has never changed, dedicated to the exploration of human genetic life science, through the deconstruction of the gene sequence, understanding that, by repairing for the outer chain genes, the human immune system can be greatly developed to enhance human potential, we always believe that Pioneer Gene will use the power of science and technology to create a better future."

After saying this, Victor turned and left, ignoring the successive questions from this group of reporters, who were blocked by his accompanying bodyguards.

Victor got into his car and drove away.

This car is also a big deal, with a history of 87 years, produced in 1934, this car is "Rolls-Royce - Silver Ghost", only 491 units produced, forced to stop production after the outbreak of World War II, the emergence of this model also marks the birth of a new series of automotive madness - - limousine. -limousine.

This limousine was originally intended as a collector's item, but right now after the storm just surged to substitute, modern cars are basically finished.

Victor left the city of Mapleton in this classic limousine and drove into the Mapleton Forest Reserve, where a hidden research institute was set up that was not known to outsiders.

An isolated laboratory inside, Victor entered this place.

"BOSS!"

"How's the experiment going?" Victor said concisely, glancing at a test subject lying on the lab table, whose arms and legs, including his waist, were immobilized.

One of the researchers in the room came to Victor and said, "There are still some problems that have not been solved."

"Hmm?" Victor stared at him, "Is it possible that something went wrong with your mutation experiment?"

Victor's verbal attitude, like his looks, gave off the impression that he was no good, and the employees up and down Pioneer Genetics were actually very scared of their boss.

The researcher hastily explained, "There is no problem BOSS, the mutation test has proven to be successful, and you are the best example."

Victor immediately ordered, "Then inject him with the K-092 mixture."

Upon hearing this, the researcher hurriedly explained, "Not yet BOSS, he is not completely ready yet, there are at least twelve data samples that have not been completed to be parsed, if he is injected with the K-092 mixture now it is likely that it will cause a rejection reaction and his safety cannot be guaranteed."

As soon as the words fell, Victor suddenly raised his hand and squeezed the researcher's neck, only to hear a spine breaking sound resounded, so the researcher was instantly crushed by him with one hand, and then still on the side, killed on the spot.

This is not the force that ordinary humans can have.

He turned to the other researcher in the lab, "Do I need to repeat it to you?"

"Yes! Yes! It is obeyed ......"

After the nearly stunned researcher reacted, his hands and feet started to do as he was told in his shock overload, Victor sneered and said, "You go ahead and experiment, the test subjects died violently, more will be sent to you, no one will care in this current chaotic world where people are dying every day."

The pilot gene has taken advantage of the chaos during this period of time to capture a lot of civilians to use as live tests, now this situation is not much concern at all, the captured people have been given death certificates through some means to these people, died from fire as well as solar storms and other kinds of secondary disasters.
