Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

June 6, 2126.

Today is an absolutely extraordinary day for people living in the land of Huaxia.

This is not because three sixes appeared on the day's calendar, but because at dawn of the day, engineers located on the Tiantian and Penglai worksites, respectively, finally tightened the last screw marking completion.

Thus, it also marks the greatest miracle in the history of human architecture and art, and at this moment it has finally been declared complete.

No nation on this earth has ever been able to accomplish such magnificent wonders in just six months.

Even if they are just one component of the space elevator project, they are still worthy of the name miracle in terms of this majesty and majesty.

Standing on the cruise ship's deck, Halton, holding the camera in his hand, looked sophisticated at the silver-white highlight at the far sea level.

He is a journalist from the North Sea Coalition, affiliated with the historic BBC Group, and over the years he has interviewed a number of scientific institutions and academic centers, filmed numerous interviews and written news about scientific reviews, as well as strange things.

And yet, for the first time in his life, he was so impressed by his interviewees - even his soul.

The sun leaves traces of speckles in the Pacific Ocean, where the waves meet the clouds, and the fortress that rises above the sea level exudes infinite mystery and majesty, just like the ancient Oriental mythology of the Immortal Mountains.

It was also shocked by this scene.

Standing next to Halton, a slightly curly western reporter with hair couldn't help but whisper in the direction of the sea.

“The Tiantian Space Station was completed at the same time as the city of Penglai... Shet, don't those guys have weekends? ”

“I don't think… this may have anything to do with owning a weekend. ”

Noting that the colleague looked at himself, Halton continued with a helpless expression on his face.

“A number of countries in the North Sea Coalition have now removed social welfare and unfavourable provisions from labour laws to businesses, but have not reversed the backwardness of productivity… I have heard that the automated construction of heavy industry in East Asia has reached an unimaginable level, and remember the last time I interviewed them, they showed me the latest worker bee system. ”

“What's that? ”

“An automated construction system, each of which consists of about one drone hive, one to two hundred small drones and twenty large and medium-sized drones, set up construction procedures that move like a horse hive," Hulton continued in response to his curiosity, shrugging his shoulders slightly, "They are said to have used similar technology for battlefields a long time ago and have recently developed new ways to build houses. ”

The colleague standing next to him opened his mouth after listening and did not speak for half a day.

At this time, the cruise ship rang a whistle, interrupting people's gaze and thoughts that were already sticking together.

Halton also retrieved his sight from the vision of the city of Penglai and turned to the direction of the cabin.

Ten minutes to shore.

This whistle is a reminder that it's time to pack your bags and get ready to land...

……

Halton doesn't carry a lot of luggage with him because he won't be here long enough to hold all of them. Once he had stuffed his stacked clothes into the box, he came to the side of the deck ladder with the crowd, ready to board the port of Penglai.

While waiting in line, Halton carefully gauged this “steel city” next to him.

The only difference, as he had previously seen from afar, was that he felt that magnificence and majesty more deeply beside him.

Although so far there was no one in the city but the construction staff, he had been able to imagine how prosperous it would be when the roads were filled with water maroons.

Properties in the city of Penglai are said to have been publicly pre-sold online as early as the start of construction. And after looking at the amenities and future prospects of the city, the homes and pavements that hang out have been looted for less than a day.

To be honest, it's a pity in Halton's heart.

If he could go back in time, he would definitely find a way to get a swing at it.

As the crowd moves into this iron and steel city, he has a hundred and twenty percent certainty that those who are fortunate enough to buy it will not lose, and those who have thought about it but are hesitant to make a move will regret it.

At least, he regrets himself...

These international journalists are hosted by the secretary of the board of directors of Li Guangya named Wei Song.

It is not easy for a “North Seaman" to read out the Chinese name with a flat pronunciation, but Halton has practiced many times before, so he is not worried that the next interviews and questions will make a joke.

For an international journalist of the twenty-second century, mastery of Mandarin pronunciation is arguably fundamental.

It was an honor to have the first opportunity to speak, and Halton operated the interview drone suspended in front of him, cleared his voice and said in a clear voice.

“After coming here, I felt like I was standing on a living miracle. Could you please tell us how much material was consumed in order to build this offshore city… or the offshore port of a space elevator? ”

Wei Song smiled and replied.

“Approximately 110 million tons of steel. ”

Although the sentence was said in a slightly understated tone, after hearing the figure, all the journalists on the scene could not help but suck in a cold breath.

110 million tons of steel!

If these steel ships were to be cast, it would be no problem to expand a carrier battle group to the Pan-Asian First Fleet.

However, Weisson's words are not yet complete.

After a moment of pause, he continued to speak.

“In addition, there are 300 million tons of foam aluminum alloy and 36 million tons of titanium alloy material. I'm afraid only the Department of Statistics or East Asian Heavy Industries can give an accurate number of materials consumed, and all I know is roughly. ”

Halton's question was over and he simply expressed his gratitude and then backed away. At this point, another slightly dark-skinned journalist standing next to him couldn't help but ask questions.

“Such a big metal island… who would be here? ”

“Anyone interested in space trade," Weisson laughed and continued, "including, of course, those interested in space trade. The future city of Penglai will be a key node in the connection between the Earth and the high orbit, and I believe there should still be a number of people interested in it. ”

“What is your view of the sovereignty of the island?” A woman journalist suddenly took a step forward and threw out a particular problem, "we all know that the city is under the effective control of trans-Asian cooperation, but the sea is an international high seas. ”

It has to be said that this is a very acute issue.

However, it was expected that Weisson would hear about the problem.

Previously, at the international summit, Secretary-General Oh Soo-hwa had fought for the matter and the foreign ministers of other regional coalitions, and there was now widespread public opinion in the international community that pan-Asian cooperation was taking the high seas for its own.

Especially after detailing this spectacular grandeur at close range, it's impossible for journalists from other regional coalitions to say that there's not a bit of conspiracy in their minds...

However, Weisson can only honestly be naive about these concerns and conspiracies.

If they really had any ideas, how could they just think about the high seas?

But he just said it in his heart.

As a dedicated secretary, it is naturally impossible for him to cause unnecessary trouble to Mr. President.

“The question is actually somewhat redundant. ”

Upon hearing this unexpected answer, the woman reporter gently lifted her eyebrows and continued to ask.

“Why do you say that? ”

“The position of pan-Asian cooperation has always been clear, and, as announced in our joint initiative on space elevators, we are ready to cooperate with the international community, on the basis of friendly cooperation, in the common use of this port, including the space station just above it, as well as the elevators that will be sitting here. ”

Speaking of which, Weisson paused for a moment and laughed and continued.

“As for what you say, it doesn't matter. ”

“We are on the same planet, and we are about to sail to a more distant world than ever before. At this moment, our destiny has never been so closely connected, you know what I mean? On the issue of space, we are honoured and united. ”

This statement is tantamount to a drip of water that clarifies the position and avoids the most sensitive question of territorial sea attribution.

But Halton always felt something was wrong.

What does it mean to be honored with each other on a space issue?

When did they talk about space?

……

Are these Asians going to go back in time and rip the League flag out of their graves?

For some reason, Halton suddenly thought of that thing a while ago.

The Qin Ling of the First Fleet successfully completed the first hyperbolic transition in human history.

While it would be a little difficult to colonize the world outside the solar system at a speed of five minutes and 100 million kilometres, it would be interesting to hear those words from the Secretary of the Office of the President of the Council at this particular point in time.

Obviously, he noticed something too, and the woman who asked frowned and continued to ask, “Excuse me, could you be more specific? ”

However, in the face of her continued questioning, Secretary Wei simply responded with a profound smile and made no comment.

“Question time is up, then we can wait to return to the ship to discuss the issue… if there is any interest in the topic at that time. ”

Gently patting his hand, he showed everyone looking to his side, clearing his voice and continuing.

“From now on, until dinner in the evening, you can walk around as you please and take pictures. But my advice is not to go too far. After all, the public transport system here is not yet operational, and there are no taxis on the street. ”

“Please let me know if you have any problems. ”

“Have a good time. ”
