Time passed quickly, and when Lin Feng decided to develop a new type of super battery, the second space elevator experiment officially began.
On April 2019, 4, Starway Technology once again conducted a space elevator experiment.
This second space elevator experiment learned from the previous experience and was checked again after inspection to prevent it from being sabotaged again.
The final result was as expected, the space elevator successfully rose to the 'Tiangong Space Station' at the other end.
The entire process took more than six hours, and the 493 kg of equipment was successfully transported.
The transportation efficiency and results of this small space elevator are already quite amazing and can meet actual usage needs.
What’s even more surprising is that during the entire process of using the space elevator, not only one elevator is in operation.
In fact, several or even dozens of elevators can run in a cable at the same time. The upper limit of the elevators depends on how much energy can be provided on the ground.
After all, the energy consumed in the process of the space elevator rising is electricity. As long as the electricity provided by your cable is sufficient, it can naturally support enough elevators running at the same time.
Therefore, with the successful operation of the second space elevator system, the efficiency and cost of human transportation of materials to space will be greatly reduced.
Among them, Da Xia, which had been well prepared, officially announced the Tiangong City Plan and the Space Skynet Plan not long after.
The Tiangong City plan is naturally to expand the Tiangong space station.
According to the news released by Daxia, the Tiangong Space Station will become a small space city in the future, known as Tiangong City.
This Tiangong City will become a place where machines can be assembled, production can be processed, alloys can be smelted, and scientific and technological experiments can be carried out...
Finally, with the integrated super-multifunctional space station that can perform self-defense counterattack, space debris disposal, ground strike, and ground monitoring, it is also a small city in space.
As for why we need to process and produce in space instead of on Earth?
The reason is that they want to use the low-gravity environment in space to produce some chemical and metal materials with unique properties to meet the special material needs of various industries.
Therefore, if this Tiangong plan can be accomplished, Daxia will be able to produce many special metals or materials with unique properties.
As for what the Space Skynet Project is?
This space Skynet project is an enhanced version of the ground-based security monitoring Skynet system, and also comes with the "5G-A plus satellite communication network function."
In other words, once the Space Skynet project is successful, this system will not only be able to provide public security monitoring functions, but also mobile network services.
If this system had been built in the past, it would have been impossible to do so relying on traditional rockets.
Because the transportation costs of traditional rockets were too high in the past, you either had to win by quantity or by quality.
But either way, the cost of sending such a multi-purpose satellite into space is too high.
Now with the space elevator, the cost of transportation has been greatly reduced. Finally, as Daxia has already completed half of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the cost of manufacturing satellites has been greatly reduced.
First, the cost of satellite manufacturing was reduced, and finally, with the ultra-low transportation cost, it was natural to launch the Space Skynet project.
Of course, there are reasons why Daha is so anxious to launch the Space Skynet project.
The reason is that the Earth’s space orbital positions are limited, and there are only so many good positions. If you don’t occupy them, others will.
Therefore, due to strategic considerations, Daxia gritted its teeth and built a densely packed space network system in advance to occupy the position first.
After that, because the orbital space is limited, other countries will not be able to build the same system even if they want to.
After all, you can't shoot down Daxia's Space Network satellite and then move your own satellite to that position. If you dare to shoot down Daxia's Space Network satellite, it is equivalent to declaring war on Daxia. Consider the consequences first.
Therefore, after Daxia promulgated the Tiangong City Plan, it immediately promulgated the Space Skynet Plan.
What is the attitude of other countries?
Naturally, they were a little unhappy. No one liked having cameras from space staring at their land all the time.
But they had no way to object because they did not have access to the space elevator system.
There is only one space elevator now, and the operating rights are in the hands of Xingtu Technology. Finally, the relevant manufacturing technology and technical patents are also in the hands of Xingtu Technology.
This also means that other countries have no way to build the same space Skynet system.
We can only allow Daxia to deploy the Skynet system in space and occupy the position in advance.
The only thing they can do is use traditional rockets to place the relevant satellites into space orbit and then occupy the orbital position in advance.
As for whether they will do so?
This will definitely not be done because the cost of doing so is too high and no one can afford it. Who would do such a loss-making business?
However, in this silence, a brave man stood up.
Less than a week after Daxia promulgated and implemented the Tiangong City Plan and the Space Skynet Plan, the American Empire finally passed them unanimously.
A plan called Space Magic Network was formally formulated, which is actually the same as Daxia's Space Skynet plan.
Similarly, a large number of special satellites with functions of monitoring the earth and network communication are launched outside the earth.
If their plan is actually implemented, it will undoubtedly hinder Daxia's Space Skynet plan.
Because the orbits in space are limited.
Wherever they deploy a satellite, Daxia’s Space Network satellite cannot be deployed there anymore.
In the end, a complete monitoring service network will naturally be hindered in its operation because of a big and smelly stone blocking it.
So when netizens in Daxia heard about the U.S.'s space magic network plan, they were very angry at the U.S.'s tit-for-tat behavior.
As for netizens from overseas countries, when they heard about the US empire’s plan, they all admired the US empire’s wealth and power.
Because the United States Empire has no way to use the space elevator, if they want to build a space magic network system, they can only launch rockets honestly.
The cost is quite staggering, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is dozens of times the cost of the Space Skynet system.
So when people overseas heard about the U.S.'s space magic network plan, they all exclaimed that the U.S. is indeed rich.
However, when they are full of admiration, they don’t think about who will ultimately pay for the United States to build such a huge space magic network system!
As for who will pay the bill?
Naturally, it is the people of the world who pay the bill, because the American empire is printing money crazily to build the space magic network system.
After the printed money flows into the market, it will naturally turn into inflation under the reality that the US dollar is equal to oil, and then the world will bear the cost of their crazy money printing. (End of this chapter)
