MTL - Scholar’s Advanced Technological System-Chapter 1617 Letters from Mars

With the successful completion of the first phase of the project, the second phase of the space elevator soon began in full swing.

As the main contractor of the entire super project, the construction of this part is also the most challenging part for East Asia Heavy Industries.

In this part of the construction, the construction team of East Asia Heavy Industries will put the 36,000-kilometer elevator down from the Tianting number like a ladder until it is docked with the central tower in Penglai City.

If there is a large space station such as the Lagrange Point Space Station for reference to the construction of the Tianting, then the construction of the elevator section has no historical experience to follow.

Not to mention East Asia Heavy Industries.

For the entire human civilization, the construction of an elevator of this length is unprecedented ...

"In the first phase of the project, we tentatively put down one main guide rail and four auxiliary guide rails first, and docked the rails one by one by the method of shifting down until the last section of rails was smoothly docked with the central tower."

"If we can ensure the safety of the elevator, we will gradually expand this number to twelve, and finally complete all the designs on the blueprint."

After listening to the specific construction plan described by Chief Engineer Wang of East Asia Heavy Industry, Lu Zhou thought for a moment and nodded.

"Good idea, for the time being we can try according to this idea."

This is the most secure method.

Even after technical demonstration and computer simulation, the space elevator is still a risky attempt for them. Although any failure in scientific exploration is acceptable, a 36,000-kilometer-long track is likely to have an unpredictable impact on the ecological environment.

If it falls, it's better to say.

If this part of the wreckage between the low-Earth orbit and the synchronous orbit did not fall, but turned into the sky trash around the earth, it will undoubtedly be a disaster ...

After the meeting was over, Lu Zhou, who had left the Pan-Asian Academy of Sciences, got on a maglev car parked at the door.

It was Wang Peng who drove him to the maglev station.

Although he has a new job now, after all, he is a fellow from the same era and a partner who has worked for many years. The relationship between the two has always been good. Hearing that Lu Zhou came to Beijing, he immediately volunteered to apply to his superior. , Served as a temporary driver for old friends.

"How have you been recently?"

"I have always been fine, how about you?"

"I'm almost the same," Wang Peng, who was sitting in the driver's seat, grinned and continued. "Maybe there will be a blessing after a big disaster. I have recently come to work."

"How to say?"

"Don't we set up an investigation team to deal with the Foundation's case before?"

Although Wang Peng did not specify which foundation it was, as soon as he heard these three words, Lu Zhou knew that he was referring to the "xie education organization" who tried to use the Alpha virus to control the world and ended up with himself. ".

"Are there any clues about them?"

"It's not just clues," Wang Peng smiled heartily. "We had locked some of their hidden strongholds in the neutral country some time ago. With the cooperation of the ghost squad, we succeeded in this without much effort. The strongholds were uprooted, and a large number of psychotropic drugs and important documents used to develop believers were intercepted. Then guess what? "

The Ghost Squadron is a special marine force of the Pan-Asian First Fleet. Unlike the third orbital airborne brigade in charge of the frontal battlefield, although they also undertake the mission of airborne planetary operations, they are mainly engaged in some technical work.

For example, the targeted removal of traitors, or performing some tasks outside the territory that are not easy to disclose.

Regarding this force, Lu Zhou had heard of it before, although compared to the specific details of that operation, he wanted to know the final end of the Universe Spirit Foundation.

"... What happened later?"

"According to the information on those documents, we can be sure that our destroyed base is their headquarters on earth!"

Said frowningly, Wang Peng, who rarely showed his unsteady side, proudly found an electronic cigarette in his mouth. However, when he was about to ignite, he suddenly thought that Lu Zhou could not smell a little smoke, so he took it back and stuffed it into his pocket again, coughing and continued.

"The latter thing is very simple. Based on the documents collected from the headquarters, we wanted a large number of important people of the Universe Spirit Foundation. Now we have caught some people, and some people are estimated to be soon."

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou's face showed a gratifying smile.

"It seems that this case will soon be over."

"Completely over ... not as optimistic as expected."

Lu Zhou glanced sideways unexpectedly.

"Isn't all the headquarters gone?"

Wang Peng sighed and said.

"That's what it says, but the documents stored in the headquarters list the names of some marginal members, far from touching the core layer of the entire foundation. For example, Song Yangwei's name is not on it."

"None of the members of the core layer have caught it?" Lu Zhou froze slightly, the expression on his face a little strange, "Are you sure you ended up with their headquarters?"

Wang Peng shook his head and said, "I know what you want to say. In fact, I also doubted that the stronghold we destroyed would just be a bait thrown by the Foundation, or a blind eye method such as Jin Chan's shelling. But then we have investigated It was discovered that the core members of the Universe Spirit Foundation are connected through a virtual reality network. They all play other identities in reality, and they have never even seen each other in reality. "

Lu Zhou: "It sounds like an online gaming guild."

"It is this feeling," Wang Peng continued, "their careful approach has brought great difficulty to our investigation work, if they do not really wipe out their core management team, or destroy their sources of funds, Even if they end up with their strongholds, they wo n’t really hurt them. "

Lu Zhou: "Do you need my help?"

It seems that Lu Zhou would not say that, after hearing this sentence, Wang Peng was stunned subconsciously.

Having noticed the expression on Wang Peng's face, Lu Zhou glanced at him a little unclearly.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing ... It's a bit of an accident. UU reads the book www.uukanshu.com." When he came back, Wang Peng smiled and said, "Lao Xing and I said that you are a great god. Please don't expect you to take the initiative to help. "

Lu Zhou: "It depends on what you do and who you help."

"We have your kind intentions, but this little thing will not trouble you," Wang Peng continued with a smile, "maintaining social order is our duty, and involving you in itself is an irresponsible one. Practice. Moreover, there are more important things waiting for you to do now. "

After arriving at the maglev station, Wang Peng put Lu Zhou on the car and exchanged care with him, so he said goodbye.

Taking the maglev train back to Jinling, Lu Zhou was thinking about the matter a year ago along the way.

There is no doubt that David Lawrence should be dead. This is not something that Wang Peng saw with his own eyes, and more body and DNA tests can provide evidence. However, many secrets were also brought into the tomb because of the death of the envoy behind the scenes.

After returning home, Lu Zhou rested for a day and returned to his former work. Not every day I go to school to show my face and give a lesson to college students in the 22nd century, soak in the laboratory and play with the model of the interplanetary highway, or exchange academic questions with his favorite apprentice.

In this way, the days passed day by day, and soon reached the end of the month.

With the coming of summer vacation, there seems to be fewer things that need him to go out to do.

However, just when Lu Zhou thought so, he received a special email in his mailbox.

It is special because the letter was sent from the Martian colony.

Not only that, the signature of the mayor and the red cap of the Tiangong city authority were printed at the place where the letter was paid. Although I haven't read the contents, all the signs seem to indicate that this letter is unusual ...
