Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

The Pan-Asian Ministry of Science and Technology, in the conference room on the ground floor, is saving a head at this very moment.

Closer and closer to the meeting, yet Academician Gwachi, sitting at the top of the table, had no intention of announcing the beginning of the meeting, simply switching his eyes back and forth between the watch and the door from time to time.

It was almost time to see him. After all, the assistant sitting next to him did not calm down. He whispered a reminder.

“The Academician… will begin soon. ”

“I know," he answered impatiently, "and once again the Academician glanced at the door and said casually," Where's Academician Lu? Is he coming or not? ”

The assistant's face floated with a bitter smile and said with a low voice.

“He… indicated in his reply to our email that he would consider our invitation, but did not seem to say clearly that he would definitely come. ”

What the hell is this guy doing?

For such an important meeting, I can't believe that I didn't come here as a general adviser.

Although knowing that his academic status was not enough to criticize the old man, Gwezi could not help but sigh deeply for his unreliability.

“Think about it? Look at this point... he probably won't come.” After a glance at the people sitting in the conference room, after a moment of silence, the Academician lowered his voice and still didn't bother to say to his assistant, "You go around outside, in case he can't find a place... bring him here. ”

Upon hearing this, the assistant's face floated with a bitter smile, but nothing was said. He just nodded his head and then walked out of the conference room.

After seeing the back of his assistant's departure, until the door of the conference room was closed again, the Academician sighed and cast his gaze into the bustling conference room.

He knocked his finger out hard and waited for the conference room to be quiet before he spoke in a serious tone.

“The outline of the meeting has been circulated, and I shall be brief here. ”

“This meeting is crucial, and I hope you will be inspired by 120 points. ”

“Now the meeting begins. ”

It is well known that the names of space elevators, although bearing the word "elevator", are not quite the same as those commonly understood. Such elevators are not built from the bottom up, but from the top down.

That is, a relatively stable area of geological activity is selected as the anchor on the ground before a space station is built in synchronous orbit above the anchor.

Then, from this station, drop the ladder a little bit down and eventually land on the anchor.

That is why this space station, located above the synchronous orbit, is arguably the most important component, apart from the ladder itself.

In view of the importance of this space, the Space Elevator Project Office solicited design options from academia and industry within the Trans-Asian Cooperation in the form of an open invitation to tender for the design of the station.

Given the magnitude and strategic significance of the investment in the project, almost all scientific research units or enterprises in the Trans-Asian Cooperation region engaged in space station design or space engineering research were involved in bidding for the project.

As for the purpose of the conference, it is natural to review the design schemes of these research institutions and enterprises - the so-called expert bid evaluation link.

The team of experts who evaluated the bid was personally led by the Academician, and almost the entire core researcher of the Space Elevator project team participated in the review.

The meeting soon came to the forefront.

The first to be shown is the design scheme of the Institute of Space Science and Technology of Yanjing University.

As a man about 40 years old walked into the center of the ring room, a thumb-sized card tape was placed on a projection device located in the center of the room.

Soon the blue beam appeared in the center of the conference room, a roundabout half-height, two-step circular space station in front of everyone.

Though it is a flat face, a young professor sitting here in the field of space is no stranger to this young man.

As an expert in space engineering, Professor Zhu Haiqing, who taught Yan Da, had been involved in the design of the Atlantis space station and was a well-known bull in both industry and academia. The only difference between the title of the Academician is some qualifications and accumulation.

This design package from Yan Da Aerospace Research Institute was completed by a research team led by Professor Zhu.

“This is the design program of our Yan Da Aerospace Research Institute. ”

“Referring to the design of the Skyboat station, we divided the entire station into residential, commercial and industrial areas, distributed from the inside out. ”

“The counterweight rod located in the centre of the station is at the heart of the overall design scheme, considering that the centre of gravity of the space elevator will float in and out of synchronous orbit as the mass of the station changes, such a design ensures that the centre of gravity of the space elevator will always be in place. ”

When talking about this design scheme, men have a confident smile on their faces.

Listening to his explanation, a burglary of whispers spread through the conference room.

Looking directly at the holographic blueprint suspended in the beam of light, Professor Zhang, sitting next to the Academician, whispered to him and asked.

“What do you think of the scheme? ”

“The rule is right," Grace touched her chin and, after a moment of silence, continued, “I don't see anything wrong with that. ”

Professor Zhang smiled and said, "Even your old man can't see the problem. Isn't that stable? ”

“Don't say that, no one has ever really seen anything new like a space elevator, and past experience has never been able to talk about experience. We all stroke stones across the river, and nobody was smarter than anyone,” Paused for a moment, and the Academician marked the form in his hand and went on to say it without any comment, "Let's look at a few more scenarios. ”

Professor Zhang, who is also one of the jury members, nodded at the bottom and agreed.

“Exactly. ”

After completing his final presentation, Professor Zhu Haiqing, who stood in the center of the meeting, bowed slightly towards the members of the jury who walked to the conference room and then left the jury site with his own plan.

Next on stage is Academician Liu Pingrui of the Institute of Astronautical Science and Technology of Jinling Institute of Advanced Studies.

The Liu Academician is also an incredible bull, and although he is 60 years old, he is still active in the forefront of astronautical engineering research. Unlike Professor Yan Dae Zhang, he has considerable practical experience in the design of large space stations.

The results of his research include the LaGrand Daytime Space Base of the Trans-Asian Cooperation, as well as the new orbital transit station over the city of Tiangong.

While it is the programmes that are evaluated, not the qualifications of the bidders and the academic qualifications of the project owners themselves, it has to be acknowledged that the results produced by the bulls in these industries are indeed much better than the design solutions sent to them by the upstream research institutes as if they were lively.

After seeing the plan proposed by Academician Liu, the expression on Academician Ge's face became increasingly tangled.

It's not because the plan is bad.

It's because they both look so good that he doesn't know what to choose for the time being.

“Let's go over all the options… wait until the end to make a choice.” A mark was made on the form, and Gertrude looked at Professor Zhang next to him and continued to ask, “How's the matrix going? Has the application been processed? ”

Professor Zhang nodded.

“The Ministry of Science and Technology has contacted the military through the Chairman of the Board of Governors, who agreed to use the Matrix for twelve hours. ”

The so-called matrix is a quantum computer array captured from the awakeners.

Although it is not clear where this‘ matrix 'came from or for what purpose it was built, research by the Pan-Asian Academy of Sciences has finally ruled out the vast majority of the dangers

Given the unparalleled performance of this over-computation for scientific research purposes, particularly in the field of computational simulation, the Graduate specifically applied to the organization for the use of this over-computation in the computational simulation of the space elevator design scheme, drawing on the privileges of the Space Elevator Project Team in scientific research priorities.

“Twelve hours? ”

After a moment of silence, the Academician nodded and said to himself.

“That should be enough. ”

……

In fact, it didn't take as long as 12 hours.

The vast majority of waiting time is spent on long communication distances and relatively narrow communication bandwidth.

Twelve hours is simply extra for that array of quantum computers buried deep beneath the asteroid's surface.

Just a few minutes might be enough.

Finally, the entire design scheme was overtaken. After synthesizing the opinions of other researchers in the project team, the Graduate Scholar announced the shortlist and thanked those research units that had not been successful in entering the shortlist for their active participation.

Next, computational simulation validation on the overrun.

All the data was transferred to Valley Spirit, hundreds of millions of kilometres away, and after being tested by an array of quantum supercomputations there, the space elevator project team received the returned data from the Pan-Asian Academy of Sciences.

Looking at the list of projects projecting in the holographic screen, Professor Zhang cast a gaze of inquiry at the Academician sitting next to him.

“Which one to start with? ”

The Academician sighed for a while and said.

“Let's start with the Yan team's plan. ”

For Professor Zhu's scheme, his first senses are still pretty good, so I thought I'd get a good assessment.

And if the first news you hear is good news, it will undoubtedly be a huge boost to the morale of the entire space elevator project team.

Both Academicians and Professor Zhu Haiqing are confident in the results of the assessment!

Professor Zhang nodded quickly and the ten fingers quickly tapped on the holographic keyboard. Soon the simulation results of the design scheme of Yan Da team were presented in the holographic beam.

However, at the moment of seeing this result, almost everyone's face showed a surprising look, and the mood instantly fell to the bottom of the valley.

The image of the expected stable operation of the medium-space elevator did not appear, instead, the scattered space garbage from the star chess cloth was scattered in synchronous orbit, along with the computational parameters marked red.

Especially that most striking number, which stings everyone's eyes.

Programme Success Rate -

Less than 3%!

What the hell?!
