Chapter 1656: Elevator Completion

Just as Vera's flight left Skyboat Space Harbor, a team of experts from the Space Elevator Construction Committee was standing on the Skyboat Space Station not far away.

The spindly tower points to the Earth and is connected by a thick orbit, and the circular arcuate spinning arm on the other side has begun to spin slowly, driven by nuclear energy.

Looking far away, the entire station was like a flying kite, floating above that azure planet.

Standing next to the starboard window, looking out the window at the silver white highlight of the Skyboat, Professor Gray Zhi's face showed a glimpse of deity.

Long brewed feelings, he said.

“The station, which has been running for more than half a century, is finally retiring. ”

“Yeah, an era is over. ”

Looking at the shuttle between the station and the atmosphere and standing next to Professor Gwaaichi Zhu Haiqing, he also said with emotion, "In the future, the scene can only be seen in the documentary. ”

Just yesterday, when the media had just reported breakthroughs in research into the privatization of hypervelocity technology, the last section of the tower, which connects the heavens and the earth, was finally completed.

Human civilization has entered a whole new era as the elevator of the Built Wood is steadily docked with the central tower of the city of Penglai, located at sea level.

And this era will be opened by them.

“How long till the experiment starts? ”

“There are about 30 minutes left,” said the excited staff member, who glanced at the watch and stood next to the two experts, "the Beidou star orbital ladder has been loaded into orbit and the technician is conducting a final inspection of the orbit. ”

“This part of the work must be done with caution," looking at this staff member, Professor G. Huaizhi continued with a serious tone of mouth, "especially the safety equipment on the rail ladder, don't miss it. Even if there are no stops on the rail ladder during commissioning, there cannot be any sloppy safety issues! ”

The staff member stood still and responded forcefully.

“Yes!”

Almost at the same time, at an orbital astronomical observatory not far from the Astronautical Station, more than twenty high-resolution lenses are aimed at almost every section of the space elevator that competes from head to toe.

Standing in the observatory's control room, researcher Fields and his assistant Johnny stared at the holographic screen, and that rigid and sharp gaze almost pierced the entire screen.

After about five minutes, Fields quickly made a judgement and said.

“They're about to start a trial run. ”

“Trial run?” Johnny stunned and said in a hurry, "But... why haven't we heard from him? ”

“Are you a pig?” I can't help scolding him, Fields scolded and continued, “Those Pan-Asians are not your employees, why are you making this up to me? Besides, do they really have to keep an eye on us if they're negotiating? ”

Take a deep breath, Johnny's tone hurried up and rubbed his fingers anxiously.

“What do we do? ”

“What should we do? Ask NASA, we're responsible for observation, not troubleshooting them. You asked me? I don't know what to do either.” Staring dead at the silver wire that connects the heavens and the earth, Fields still had an enviable look on his face, despite his scolding grin.

It hasn't been a year, from the station to the sections of the elevator, even that floating port…

Are these guys still human?

“I've sent the report… no response yet," Johnny continues to cast his gaze at Fields, looking at the silent silence on the communication channel. “What's next? ”

Ignoring this guy, he stared at Fields in the space elevator and threw a slack at him.

“Wait! ”

Even in an opponent's position.

As an engineer, he doesn't want to miss this historic moment.

Not a second!

At the same time, Mars, far from the three astronomical units, the Ark and others standing in the conference room are also following this historic moment.

Although there was a delay of nearly 20 minutes, that did not affect his interest in the project as General Counsel.

At the headquarters building of the East Asia Heavy Industries Mars Branch, the Ark received live video transmission permissions from the head office and borrowed a conference room from the branch to watch live broadcasts of the century project.

In addition to him, Wang Peng stood here, as well as Chairman Zhong of the Mars branch of Yatou Bank.

Looking at the holographic screen, that 36,000 km long track, he couldn't help but express his emotion.

“This is an absolute miracle in the history of human engineering… Until then, I never thought that one day we would be able to fix the elevator to the sky. ”

“Everything came step by step, and I didn't think it would be that fast before," the ark standing next to me laughed and continued softly, “until I found it. ”

Wang Peng: “It? ”

“Well," nodded the head, with a confident smile on the face of the ark, continuing, “the ultimate material in heaven and earth. ”

In the video footage of the holographic screen, the staff standing in the central tower of the city of Penglai operated heavy engineering equipment and placed a huge rail freight elevator on the booster rack, while connecting the side end to that long rail.

“Attention all units, start the inspection! ”

“Yes!”

Looking at the image on the holographic screen, Wang Peng's face had a noticeably excited look and couldn't help but squeeze his fist gently.

“I didn't expect this to become real one day...”

Looking at Wang Peng with excitement on his face, Ark chuckled and continued with ease.

“Which of the words I said was false? ”

Standing next to the two of them, they were also invited to watch the live clock yoga of the Space Elevator test run, with the same exciting and shocking look on their faces.

After a while, he spoke in an emotional tone.

“Citizens of Tiangong City are blessed by the accident, and although they have a bad luck mayor, space trade activity will grow exponentially across the solar system compared to waiting for the space elevator to complete. ”

“Ha ha, I don't know,” the Ark laughed and continued, "but one thing is for sure, we're in a whole new era. ”

In the live view, the inspection of the equipment has been completed and less than 10 minutes are left to begin.

And at this moment, the ark with his hands behind his back, like suddenly remembering something, turned to the door behind him.

Looking at the action of the ark, Zhong Ziyong cast a curious gaze at him.

“Ten minutes to go. Don't you see the last one? ”

Smiling slightly, the ark did not look back, but threw down a fascinating phrase.

“No, I've seen it. ”

Zhongziyu: "…? ”

Without explaining the amount of information contained in that sentence, the ark left the room and headed in the direction of the elevator.
