Of course, compared to the controlled nuclear fusion technology that is said to take 50 years to be realized.

People's main attention is still focused on the research and development project of the space elevator system.

After all, Lin Feng said that the space elevator system will be put into practice faster than the controlled nuclear fusion technology.

Therefore, the number of people paying attention to the research and development progress of space elevator systems is actually several times that of controlled nuclear fusion technology.

Fortunately, Xingtu Technology has established an official website, and any developments of the space elevator system will be announced on the official website.

This makes it convenient for netizens to understand the latest research and development trends of Xingtu Technology's space elevator system in real time.

And time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, eight months had passed.

Time has quietly come to March 2019, 3.

Daxia, at the southernmost tip of the South China Sea, Daxia is devoting all its efforts to the newly built artificial island of Tiangong Island.

On this day, Starway Technology officially announced that the world's first space elevator has officially begun experimental testing.

This experimental test is to formally test whether the space elevator can be operated and provide empirical data for the future development of the formal version of the space elevator.

It turns out that during these 8 months, Xingtu Technology moved very quickly.

With the assistance of the Space Administration, Xingtu Technology successfully launched an ultra-long cable into space using a rocket.

Then, using the original aerospace technology, several more parts were launched and finally a small space station was assembled.

This micro space station was named "Tiangong" by Xingtu Technology, which is obviously a tribute to the "Tiangong Space Station" in its previous life.

And today, Starway Technology is finally going to conduct the first operational experiment of the space elevator, which naturally attracted the attention of countless people around the world.

After all, the space elevator to be experimented this time is not large. It is only half the size of an office desk, and the maximum weight of items it can load does not exceed 500 kilograms.

There is still a long way to go before an elevator can carry enough supplies as big as a living room.

But people are concerned about whether the experiment can be successful, because if the experiment is successful, then all that needs to be done is to expand the scale proportionally.

So on this day, countless people around the world focused their attention on this matter.

Under such circumstances, Lin Feng, the person in charge of research and development of the space elevator system, also appeared in the live broadcast room.

"Today is a happy day. Although the materials we are going to operate this time are not much, it represents the official start of the space elevator and represents that the space elevator has become a reality!

Therefore, with the first step, the second and even the third step will be easier. "

Having said that, Lin Feng paused for a moment and then continued:

"During these eight months, our researchers have overcome many difficulties.

If I were to talk about these difficulties, I would not be able to finish even if I talked for three days and three nights..."

In the video, Lin Feng explained the many difficulties encountered in developing the space elevator system, and praised the domestic and foreign scientific researchers who made contributions.

During this process, Lin Feng did not mention himself at all, which made netizens in the live broadcast room admire him very much.

After all, for such a great achievement that is enough to be recorded in history, Lin Feng did not take credit for it and took all the credit for himself. This kind of broad-mindedness is enough to make people admire him.

But Lin Feng’s words will eventually come to an end.

In the video, after Lin Feng finished speaking, the next step was the process of officially starting the space elevator.

The space elevator, which was only half the size of a computer desk, slowly rose into the sky in front of tens of millions of people around the world. Many Daxia citizens who came to visit the space elevator raised their hands and saluted with tears in their eyes, their eyes full of excitement and relief.

Once upon a time, Daxia was established from scratch, and then overcame many difficulties and finally grew to its present state.

They have worked hard for 70 years to get to where they are today.

At this time, they finally surpassed the West and took the lead in developing a space elevator system that people were proud of...

How could this not bring tears to their eyes?

However, amidst all the anticipation, when people thought that the space elevator experiment would definitely succeed, an unexpected incident occurred.

After two hours of continuous ascent, the space elevator, which had risen to an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, suddenly lost control.

The space elevator that had risen to tens of thousands of meters was actually accelerating towards the Earth due to the gravity that the Earth was constantly exerting on it!

Upon learning the result, the people at the scene suddenly panicked.

So they fled the scene at a high speed, and some were even trampled and injured because they were too panicked.

In the end, no one died because the space elevator was blown up by the electromagnetic cannon that reacted in time when it fell.

But it is also a fact that many people at the scene were trampled and injured as they fled in panic.

So when the space elevator went out of control, Starway Technology and even Lin Feng instantly became the center of attention.

All of a sudden, countless people around the world were cursing Raymond Lam and Starway Technology.

He directly called the space elevator technology a lie. This technology is not space elevator technology at all, but space-based weapons technology!
If Xingtu Technology's subsidiary 'Xingtu Space Elevator' was an overseas listed company, its market value would have plummeted by at least 80% at this time.

Amidst this wave of public condemnation, the media controlled by Wall Street Capital is naturally the one fanning the flames behind the scenes.

It can be said that on this day, Lin Feng’s past achievements seemed to have all been forgotten and erased.

Both the media and Internet users were seizing on this failure to criticize Raymond Lam.

Not only did he use harsh words, but he also openly mocked Raymond Lam for his incompetence, which makes people admire the shortness of human memory.

Of course, there are definitely people who support Xingtu Technology and Lin Feng, but the power of public opinion is in the hands of Wall Street Capital.

Under the guidance of their public opinion, ordinary people naturally believe whatever others say.

However, those who support Raymond Lam will not give up easily, so they called on everyone to wait.

Under such circumstances, the police also found something wrong by examining the wreckage.

Less than two hours after the incident, the police officially announced that traces of high explosives were found in the wreckage.

In the end, in less than half an hour, the suspect was arrested by the police, casting a shadow of mystery on the matter.

Those who had questioned the success of Xingtu Technology could not help but shut their mouths and pay close attention to the development of subsequent events.

Among them, those who supported Xingtu Technology were cheering.

They all excitedly said that Xingtu Technology was indeed capable of doing something, and it was even more impossible for an elevator to lose control and fall, which was an unreasonable phenomenon at first glance. It turned out that someone was secretly doing something bad.

However, the exact truth will ultimately depend on how events unfold. (End of this chapter)
