At the Philippine Army Command, senior officials from the military and political circles gathered here, but at this moment, the command was eerily quiet.
Moritz, the military adviser sent by the Freemasons from Europe, said nothing, and the expression on his face could not tell the fluctuations in his heart at this moment. Philippine President Aquino IV looked around, straightened his tight collar, and whispered to the secretary next to him.
"Get me a glass of water, thank you."
The secretary nodded, turned and walked out of the door.
At the other end of the command table, the new Field Marshal Stark stood there, looking at the live broadcast of the military exercise that had ended without saying a word. The fists attached to the sides of his thighs were squeezed so hard that the veins were exposed. got up.
Star Ring Trading did not keep the landing combat drill project secret, but generously disclosed it to Southeast Asian countries at the request of the United Nations. In Stark's view, this is simply Chi Guoguo's provocation... Even if I show you the cards, you still can't beat us!
Star Ring Trading has written this sentence on its face!
"Arrogant..."
"What about urban warfare?" Moritz, a military adviser from Germany, turned his attention to Marshal Stark and said in a meticulous voice, "Compared to the performance of drones in beach landing operations, I am more worried about the inability to Man-machine performance in urban warfare.”
The high maneuverability and flexibility of drones are simply tailor-made for urban terrain! Although he didn’t know much about this Hummingbird drone, Moritz could tell at a glance that its real stage was not on the beach, but in the city!
"No," Aquino IV shook his head in response to the question, "They only disclosed sensitive landing operations. Videos of street battles, jungle and mountain operations were not disclosed to the United Nations. I protested, but to no avail. …”
In the last sentence, Aquino IV said very helplessly.
Marshal Stark looked at Moritz, hoping to learn from this military advisor from Europe how to combat the Star Ring trade.
"The odds of winning are low, but not impossible." After Moritz pondered for a moment, he put his knuckles on his chin and said, "Tactically, it is not easy to hit a drone at a mid-range with a rifle, but at close range it is not easy. Using shotguns at a distance, and using fragmentation grenades and rifle grenades at a medium distance can still pose a threat to such close-range drones. Strategically, using signal shielding to interfere with the communication between the drone and the terminal, although it may hinder one's own communications, But it should be able to effectively restrain the drone tactics of the Star Ring trade.”
"We must make adjustments to our frontline deployment immediately. The Mindanao counterattack plan is temporarily postponed. We need more time!"
…
In terms of results, the results of the Singapore-Malaysia joint military exercise are quite outstanding.
After seeing the powerful combat capabilities of the Star Ring Trade Marine Corps, the Philippine Army deployed in southern Luzon Island was obviously much more at ease.
However, the newly-appointed President and Field Marshal of the Philippines obviously did not give in. The Freemasonry, which provided loans for the Philippine military modernization, did not waver at all and still sent tanks and modern equipment to Luzon step by step. To add another piece of firewood to the severe regional situation.
But to be honest, even if all the more than 80,000 Philippine Army troops were equipped with modern equipment, Jiang Chen was not very worried that the Moro regime, which was supported by the Star Ring Trade, would lose. The trump card in his hand is not just the Hummingbird drone and Aurora-20. If the Philippines really dares to come, the people from Starlink Trading will push them directly to Manila this time!
The military exercise lasted for three days in total.
Three days later, the soldiers of Star Circle Trade boarded the transport ship and set off back from the port in New Matt District.
Jiang Chen personally went to the Singapore-Malaysia Special Administrative Region, and after meeting with the Malay President, the joint military exercise between Singapore and Malaysia came to a perfect conclusion.
After returning to Koro Island, good news came from the Aerospace Science and Technology Center. A major technological breakthrough was made in the orbital part of the space elevator. Combined with the materials provided by Jiang Chen, the technicians of the institute have completed the design of the entire space elevator and passed the The mathematical model established by the quantum computer was verified.
After hearing the news, Jiang Chen just got off the plane and didn't even return home. He went directly to the Future Man Building, found Kerwin in the research institute, and ordered the technicians at the research institute to bring up the engineering concept drawings.
The faint blue light particles are projected in the sky, and the space elevator that reaches the synchronous orbit is like an outward-opening umbrella. On one side is a long and narrow "cable" that runs through the stratosphere transfer station and reaches the ground, while on the other side is a wheel-shaped space station. It not only serves as a living and working space in the outer orbit, but also serves as a space elevator to control the center of gravity on the synchronous orbit. "Counterweight".
Dinghai Shenzhen space elevator,
"The ability of the graphene track to withstand tension is much greater than its ability to withstand pressure. The risk of the track being crushed by its own weight is greater than being pulled apart by its own gravity. In order to prevent the space elevator from being crushed by its own weight, our engineers came up with the idea He came up with an idea to hang a 36,000-kilometer-long cable from the space station in synchronous orbit directly to the ground. At the other end of the cable, a wheel-shaped "counterweight" is designed. The counterweight with the center of gravity behind the space station is Rotating coaxially at a constant speed exerts an outward pulling force on the 'cable' through centrifugal action, preventing our track from bearing the pressure of its own weight!"
"At the same time, the wheel-shaped counterweight itself will also serve as part of the space station, providing additional living and working space for the space station!"
Having said this, a hint of sincere pride appeared on Kerwin's face.
A year ago, before the breakthrough of graphene material, proposing such a design concept would undoubtedly be ridiculed as a wishful thinking. Just like when the American physicist Pierson proposed the concept of a space elevator in 1970, his colleagues and the media all made unfriendly suggestions to him - "Go and write science fiction instead."
However, today, the design of the "counterweight" will definitely become the construction standard for space elevators in the future, and Kerwin will also become one of the founders of the interstellar era of earth civilization because of this design!
He does have something to be proud of.
Although the future space elevator will also have a structure similar to a "counterweight", the information provided by Jiang Chen to the Aerospace Science and Technology Center did not mention a word about the specific design plan. What he brought from the apocalypse was only the construction of a space elevator. The required front-end technology and the elevator base.
"How much does the project cost approximately?"
When it came to the cost, Kerwin looked a little embarrassed. Everything about this space elevator is good, but the cost is a bit unfriendly. The "2050 Space Elevator Construction Plan" announced by Japan's Obayashi Construction Company, which built the "Sky Tree" for Tokyo, has an estimated project cost of 9.5 billion, which is almost one-twelfth of his quotation.
Of course, the former just talking casually is also one of the reasons.
"The total cost of the project from orbit to space station... is estimated to be US$120 billion."
"No problem. I will find a way to finance it. In the future, Renmin Heavy Industries will cooperate with you in adjusting production capacity. Construction will start tomorrow. Can it be done?"
Jiang Chen's reaction was beyond Kerwin's expectation. Not to mention hesitation, the chairman didn't even blink when he approved the start of construction. This is not two thousand US dollars, but two hundred billion!
Kerwin stood there in shock, speechless for a moment.
"Are there any questions?" Seeing that his subordinates were silent, Jiang Chen asked doubtfully.
Jiang Chen's question immediately brought Kerwin back to his senses. He stood at attention as if he had been given a shot of blood, and said loudly and excitedly.
"No! No problem! Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
Although it was unclear why he suddenly reacted so excitedly, Jiang Chen was naturally very happy to see his subordinates so motivated and immediately patted him on the shoulder.
"Then go quickly!" (.)
