Go to Beijing.
Academician Ge had a wry smile on his face and made a helpless expression towards Lu Zhou.
"I don't dare to take it. I don't dare to take it. After studying this field for so many years, I can't produce any decent results. I'm really ashamed."
At the Orbital Design Institute of the Pan-Asian Academy of Sciences, a group of scientific researchers in white coats were standing in front of a map with sullen expressions, pointing at several red circles drawn on the map.
It turns out that about five or six years ago, when the entire space elevator project just started, they had actually selected the anchorage for the space elevator.
"It's far-fetched. It's a bit unreasonable at most... But I think we are still quite strong. There should be no problem in doing this kind of thing. If you take a step back and cause a diplomatic dispute, I believe that with your ability , it will definitely be solved easily!”
"There is no need to feel ashamed about this kind of thing. Scientific research is not farming. It does not mean that if you sow the seeds and water them, there will be results." Looking at Academician Ge who looked embarrassed, Lu Zhou comforted him casually and went straight to the point. He asked, "So, what problem did you encounter?"
At the Orbital Design Institute of the Pan-Asian Academy of Sciences, a group of scientific researchers in white coats were standing in front of a map with sullen expressions, pointing at several red circles drawn on the map.
Almost all the territorial waters of the Pan-Asian Cooperation on the equator are located at the junction of the Indian Ocean Plate and the Pacific Plate, or are immediately adjacent to each other. It is almost impossible to find a suitable anchorage.
Not to mention those points located in the monsoon belt. In a sense, encountering typhoons is more terrifying than earthquakes and volcanoes.
Not to mention those points located in the monsoon belt. In a sense, encountering typhoons is more terrifying than earthquakes and volcanoes.
"What about point 104? I remember it was in the alternative..."
Anyway, the matter of site selection is not that critical. There is no certainty when the entire project will start. It doesn't seem to make much sense to rush to find a place to anchor the space elevator
Build a city
Although his speech at the Ignition Day celebration had given him a premonition that the space elevator project was becoming a national key project for Pan-Asian cooperation, he never expected that his small temple would attract so many big shots.
Lu Zhou didn't even listen to what Academician Ge was saying. He stared at the map and thought for about 5 minutes. Suddenly he stretched out his index finger and clicked on the high seas of the Pacific east of the Malay Archipelago.
"Cost is indeed a big problem... The logistics cost of building materials for this super project, a 36,000-kilometer-long space elevator, is an astronomical figure, let alone the construction. This construction site is far from ours. The further out the transport network is, the more pressure we have on costs."
Guarding an elevator with a vertical height of 367 kilometers on the high seas is obviously not as convenient as having this elevator inside the country.
"Site selection?"
"It's far-fetched. It's a bit unreasonable at most... But I think we are still quite strong. There should be no problem in doing this kind of thing. If you take a step back and cause a diplomatic dispute, I believe that with your ability , it will definitely be solved easily!”
"It's impossible. It was already discussed during the last seminar. Although there has been no strong geological activity in 50 years, this area is still in the volcanic zone!"
After looking at Academician Ge in disbelief and getting a positive expression from his face, Lu Zhou showed a speechless expression and couldn't help but complain.
"We encountered problems from the beginning of site selection..."
Not to mention those points located in the monsoon belt. In a sense, encountering typhoons is more terrifying than earthquakes and volcanoes.
The discussion seemed to be bogged down.
"This is Academician Ge Huaizhi, director of the Orbital Design Institute, and is also the actual person in charge of the current space elevator project. Starting about five years ago, the research team led by him has been solving technical problems in the field of space elevators. This is A top player in one field."
Looking towards the door, when he saw the people walking into the office clearly, the scholar with gray temples immediately showed a surprised expression on his face and stepped forward to greet them.
It is a small island near Malay, located on the equator. Although it is very close to the Pacific Ring of Fire, theoretically speaking, this island does not belong to an active seismic zone.
Upon hearing this, Wu Shuhua was stunned.
"Then point 86 -"
After looking at Academician Ge in disbelief and getting a positive expression from his face, Lu Zhou showed a speechless expression and couldn't help but complain.
Build a city
"I don't dare to take it. I don't dare to take it. After studying this field for so many years, I can't produce any decent results. I'm really ashamed."
"Not necessarily." After hearing Wu Shuhua's words, Lu Zhou looked at her and retorted, "It is precisely because the diplomatic principle of Pan-Asian cooperation is to jointly build a community with a shared future for mankind, so we should set an example. , build this space elevator on the high seas.”
"You're here uninvited, sorry to bother you." Looking at the old scholar who came forward, Li Guangya nodded in a friendly way to express greetings, then looked at Lu Zhou standing beside him and introduced him.
"I understand what you mean," Li Guangya's eyes lit up, and he suddenly woke up, "Just like the strategy we adopted in Guanghan City, the territory of the moon nominally belongs to all mankind, but the spaceflight we deploy on the moon The utensils are the property of the Pan-Asian people!”
Looking towards the door, when he saw the people walking into the office clearly, the scholar with gray temples immediately showed a surprised expression on his face and stepped forward to greet them.
At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, interrupting the discussion of the scientific researchers gathered in front of the holographic map.
Go to Beijing.
In fact, what she wants to say is that this is too rogue and damages the international image of pan-Asian cooperation.
"Let me tell you, this is what happened..."
Looking towards the door, when he saw the people walking into the office clearly, the scholar with gray temples immediately showed a surprised expression on his face and stepped forward to greet them.
It took about three minutes for Academician Ge to explain the whole story to Lu Zhou in concise terms.
Even Li Guangya, who previously agreed with Lu Zhou's view, now had a troubled expression on his face.
"What about point 104? I remember it was in the alternative..."
When it came to the first half of the sentence, it was okay. When he heard the second half of Chairman Li Guangya's introduction, Academician Ge suddenly showed an embarrassed expression on his face and said a little subtly.
"This is Academician Ge Huaizhi, director of the Orbital Design Institute, and is also the actual person in charge of the current space elevator project. Starting about five years ago, the research team led by him has been solving technical problems in the field of space elevators. This is A top player in one field."
In addition, he also thought of some other issues, such as national security.
"Chairman...and Secretary-General? Academician Lu? Why...why are you here suddenly?"
"Site selection?"
Academician Ge nodded and added.
Two powerful figures in Pan-Asian cooperation!
"Chairman...and Secretary-General? Academician Lu? Why...why are you here suddenly?"
Therefore, from this perspective, only the Pacific Ocean is the most suitable choice.
Several researchers glanced at each other, and finally Academician Ge sighed and spoke.
"Cost is indeed a big problem... The logistics cost of building materials for this super project, a 36,000-kilometer-long space elevator, is an astronomical figure, let alone the construction. This construction site is far from ours. The further out the transport network is, the more pressure we have on costs."
After listening to Academician Ge's description, Lu Zhou did not hesitate and spoke without any politeness.
"... This, this is too random. Don't you think this explanation is a bit far-fetched?"
And Academician Lu, a leader in academic circles!
"We encountered problems from the beginning of site selection..."
Although his speech at the Ignition Day celebration had given him a premonition that the space elevator project was becoming a national key project for Pan-Asian cooperation, he never expected that his small temple would attract so many big shots.
"It's right here." Academician Ge nodded and immediately brought Lu Zhou to the map suspended in the holographic window. He pointed at the red dots on the screen and said, "These are all anchorages we have inspected before. Basically Marine geologists were invited to evaluate each site... Points 104 and 86 were previously among our alternatives, but due to various reasons, we eliminated them."
"... The place where you encountered problems really exceeded my expectations."
"Academician Lu is right. Once the space elevator is built, the whole world will benefit from it. From this perspective, there is nothing wrong with our behavior. We represent the interests of all mankind."
"That's it."
It turns out that about five or six years ago, when the entire space elevator project just started, they had actually selected the anchorage for the space elevator.
It is a small island near Malay, located on the equator. Although it is very close to the Pacific Ring of Fire, theoretically speaking, this island does not belong to an active seismic zone.

But no one cared about it at the time. After all, until a few days ago, space elevator-related research was considered a relatively marginal research project in Pan-Asian cooperation. Even the researchers in the project team didn't pay much attention to it. They treat applied science as theoretical research.
Wu Shuhua frowned and was about to say something when Li Guangya, who was standing next to him, suddenly interrupted with a smile.
Academician Ge had a wry smile on his face and made a helpless expression towards Lu Zhou.
"Let me take a look at the map."

"This matter is settled!"
Wu Shuhua frowned and was about to say something when Li Guangya, who was standing next to him, suddenly interrupted with a smile.
"Let me take a look at the map."
“I’m afraid not,” Secretary-General Wu Shuhua, who had been silent for a long time, frowned slightly after hearing Lu Zhou’s words and reminded, “This violates international conventions and is inconsistent with the Pan-Asian Alliance’s diplomatic norms of jointly building a community with a shared future for mankind. "
It makes no sense if the space elevator is far away from the borders of pan-Asian cooperation.

"We encountered problems from the beginning of site selection..."
With the current technical strength and industrial capabilities of Pan-Asia Cooperation, we are fully qualified to build this floating city on the sea. At the same time, this project can be carried out together with the space elevator!
Even Li Guangya, who previously agreed with Lu Zhou's view, now had a troubled expression on his face.
"Not necessarily." After hearing Wu Shuhua's words, Lu Zhou looked at her and retorted, "It is precisely because the diplomatic principle of Pan-Asian cooperation is to jointly build a community with a shared future for mankind, so we should set an example. , build this space elevator on the high seas.”

If he could find a random island to build in the Pacific, he would have proposed it long ago.

"Chairman...and Secretary-General? Academician Lu? Why...why are you here suddenly?"
"Ahem, as the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning..." Li Gaoliang coughed dryly, quickly changed the topic to the right track, and continued with a serious expression, "Academician Ge, please tell Academician Lu quickly, what is your situation here? what's the situation."
"That's it."

Looking at Lu Zhou for help, Chairman Li Guangya said in a sincere tone, "Is there any alternative?"
Lu Zhou didn't even listen to what Academician Ge was saying. He stared at the map and thought for about 5 minutes. Suddenly he stretched out his index finger and clicked on the high seas of the Pacific east of the Malay Archipelago.
Wu Shuhua sighed and did not continue to say anything on this issue. Instead, she persuaded him from another angle.
Anyway, the matter of site selection is not that critical. There is no certainty when the entire project will start. It doesn't seem to make much sense to rush to find a place to anchor the space elevator
"Let's call this city Penglai!"
At the Orbital Design Institute of the Pan-Asian Academy of Sciences, a group of scientific researchers in white coats were standing in front of a map with sullen expressions, pointing at several red circles drawn on the map.
However, this is obviously unrealistic.
It took about three minutes for Academician Ge to explain the whole story to Lu Zhou in concise terms.
"Build a city? You mean reclaim the land? On the high seas of the Pacific? How is that possible—"
When it came to the first half of the sentence, it was okay. When he heard the second half of Chairman Li Guangya's introduction, Academician Ge suddenly showed an embarrassed expression on his face and said a little subtly.
But no one cared about it at the time. After all, until a few days ago, space elevator-related research was considered a relatively marginal research project in Pan-Asian cooperation. Even the researchers in the project team didn't pay much attention to it. They treat applied science as theoretical research.
Even Li Guangya, who previously agreed with Lu Zhou's view, now had a troubled expression on his face.
"There is no need to feel ashamed about this kind of thing. Scientific research is not farming. It does not mean that if you sow the seeds and water them, there will be results." Looking at Academician Ge who looked embarrassed, Lu Zhou comforted him casually and went straight to the point. He asked, "So, what problem did you encounter?"
"This is Academician Ge Huaizhi, director of the Orbital Design Institute, and is also the actual person in charge of the current space elevator project. Starting about five years ago, the research team led by him has been solving technical problems in the field of space elevators. This is A top player in one field."
"Not necessarily." After hearing Wu Shuhua's words, Lu Zhou looked at her and retorted, "It is precisely because the diplomatic principle of Pan-Asian cooperation is to jointly build a community with a shared future for mankind, so we should set an example. , build this space elevator on the high seas.”
"Academician Lu is right. Once the space elevator is built, the whole world will benefit from it. From this perspective, there is nothing wrong with our behavior. We represent the interests of all mankind."
"Site selection?"
"I understand what you mean," Li Guangya's eyes lit up, and he suddenly woke up, "Just like the strategy we adopted in Guanghan City, the territory of the moon nominally belongs to all mankind, but the spaceflight we deploy on the moon The utensils are the property of the Pan-Asian people!”
Upon hearing this, Wu Shuhua was stunned.
And Academician Lu, a leader in academic circles!
Build a city
Wu Shuhua frowned and was about to say something when Li Guangya, who was standing next to him, suddenly interrupted with a smile.
Hearing Li Guangya's words, Wu Shuhua couldn't help but have a wry smile on her face.
Although his speech at the Ignition Day celebration had given him a premonition that the space elevator project was becoming a national key project for Pan-Asian cooperation, he never expected that his small temple would attract so many big shots.
"Academician Lu is right. Once the space elevator is built, the whole world will benefit from it. From this perspective, there is nothing wrong with our behavior. We represent the interests of all mankind."
With the current technical strength and industrial capabilities of Pan-Asia Cooperation, we are fully qualified to build this floating city on the sea. At the same time, this project can be carried out together with the space elevator!
"You're here uninvited, sorry to bother you." Looking at the old scholar who came forward, Li Guangya nodded in a friendly way to express greetings, then looked at Lu Zhou standing beside him and introduced him.
Two powerful figures in Pan-Asian cooperation!
"It's impossible. It was already discussed during the last seminar. Although there has been no strong geological activity in 50 years, this area is still in the volcanic zone!"
"Chairman...and Secretary-General? Academician Lu? Why...why are you here suddenly?"
"... This, this is too random. Don't you think this explanation is a bit far-fetched?"
"Chairman...and Secretary-General? Academician Lu? Why...why are you here suddenly?"

Academician Ge had a wry smile on his face and made a helpless expression towards Lu Zhou.
"Not necessarily." After hearing Wu Shuhua's words, Lu Zhou looked at her and retorted, "It is precisely because the diplomatic principle of Pan-Asian cooperation is to jointly build a community with a shared future for mankind, so we should set an example. , build this space elevator on the high seas.”
Hearing Li Guangya's words, Wu Shuhua couldn't help but have a wry smile on her face.
After listening to Academician Ge's description, Lu Zhou did not hesitate and spoke without any politeness.
At the Orbital Design Institute of the Pan-Asian Academy of Sciences, a group of scientific researchers in white coats were standing in front of a map with sullen expressions, pointing at several red circles drawn on the map.
"Let me tell you, this is what happened..."
After listening to Academician Ge's description, Lu Zhou did not hesitate and spoke without any politeness.
Academician Ge nodded and added.
Lu Zhou smiled and nodded.
"It's far-fetched. It's a bit unreasonable at most... But I think we are still quite strong. There should be no problem in doing this kind of thing. If you take a step back and cause a diplomatic dispute, I believe that with your ability , it will definitely be solved easily!”
In fact, what she wants to say is that this is too rogue and damages the international image of pan-Asian cooperation.
Li Guangya's eyes became brighter and brighter. He clenched his right hand into a fist and knocked hard on the palm of his left hand.
"Looking for an anchorage for a space elevator in the Pacific Ring of Fire is sheer nonsense! The safest way is to build it directly on the Pacific Ocean."
However, Li Guangya smiled heartily and said as if he didn't take it seriously.
"Put aside the diplomatic issues for now...haven't you considered the cost of building a space elevator on the high seas?"
At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, interrupting the discussion of the scientific researchers gathered in front of the holographic map.
"It's far-fetched. It's a bit unreasonable at most... But I think we are still quite strong. There should be no problem in doing this kind of thing. If you take a step back and cause a diplomatic dispute, I believe that with your ability , it will definitely be solved easily!”
"Cost is indeed a big problem... The logistics cost of building materials for this super project, a 36,000-kilometer-long space elevator, is an astronomical figure, let alone the construction. This construction site is far from ours. The further out the transport network is, the more pressure we have on costs."
"Then point 86 -"
"...Although I don't know much about economics, the decision of our Lunar Orbit Construction Committee was to build a city on the moon."
After looking at Academician Ge in disbelief and getting a positive expression from his face, Lu Zhou showed a speechless expression and couldn't help but complain.
Wu Shuhua sighed and did not continue to say anything on this issue. Instead, she persuaded him from another angle.
"Let me take a look at the map."
"This matter is settled!"
"Put aside the diplomatic issues for now...haven't you considered the cost of building a space elevator on the high seas?"
"It's far-fetched. It's a bit unreasonable at most... But I think we are still quite strong. There should be no problem in doing this kind of thing. If you take a step back and cause a diplomatic dispute, I believe that with your ability , it will definitely be solved easily!”
"Looking for an anchorage for a space elevator in the Pacific Ring of Fire is sheer nonsense! The safest way is to build it directly on the Pacific Ocean."
Academician Ge nodded and added.
It is a small island near Malay, located on the equator. Although it is very close to the Pacific Ring of Fire, theoretically speaking, this island does not belong to an active seismic zone.
However, no one expected that this day would come so suddenly, that all the issues that had not been considered at the time, or not seriously considered, would be exposed.
"Ahem, as the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning..." Li Gaoliang coughed dryly, quickly changed the topic to the right track, and continued with a serious expression, "Academician Ge, please tell Academician Lu quickly, what is your situation here? what's the situation."
Before Li Guangya could speak, Wu Shuhua continued.
"Ahem, as the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning..." Li Gaoliang coughed dryly, quickly changed the topic to the right track, and continued with a serious expression, "Academician Ge, please tell Academician Lu quickly, what is your situation here? what's the situation."
"We encountered problems from the beginning of site selection..."
"... This, this is too random. Don't you think this explanation is a bit far-fetched?"
Almost all the territorial waters of the Pan-Asian Cooperation on the equator are located at the junction of the Indian Ocean Plate and the Pacific Plate, or are immediately adjacent to each other. It is almost impossible to find a suitable anchorage.
"Let me tell you, this is what happened..."
When it came to the first half of the sentence, it was okay. When he heard the second half of Chairman Li Guangya's introduction, Academician Ge suddenly showed an embarrassed expression on his face and said a little subtly.
"In terms of cost, the farther away the anchorage of this space elevator is from our economic zone, the higher the construction and maintenance costs will be, and the economic utility will decrease. Even if this is a project that is of immediate benefit and will benefit the future, we should consider It’s also about leaving a valuable asset to future generations, rather than a heavy burden.”
In addition, he also thought of some other issues, such as national security.
Looking at Lu Zhou for help, Chairman Li Guangya said in a sincere tone, "Is there any alternative?"
Academician Ge nodded and added.
"Put aside the diplomatic issues for now...haven't you considered the cost of building a space elevator on the high seas?"
At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, interrupting the discussion of the scientific researchers gathered in front of the holographic map.
"I didn't say land reclamation," Lu Zhou interrupted her and continued in a calm tone, "We build a big ship, about the size of Guanghan City, and then let it float on the sea, symbolically every year If you move a centimeter or two... no one will measure it anyway."
After listening to Academician Ge's description, Lu Zhou did not hesitate and spoke without any politeness.
Go to Beijing.
"Cost is indeed a big problem... The logistics cost of building materials for this super project, a 36,000-kilometer-long space elevator, is an astronomical figure, let alone the construction.

Before Li Guangya could speak, Wu Shuhua continued.
"...Although I don't know much about economics, the decision of our Lunar Orbit Construction Committee was to build a city on the moon."
Several researchers glanced at each other, and finally Academician Ge sighed and spoke.
The discussion seemed to be bogged down.
It makes no sense if the space elevator is far away from the borders of pan-Asian cooperation.
"This is Academician Ge Huaizhi, director of the Orbital Design Institute, and is also the actual person in charge of the current space elevator project. Starting about five years ago, the research team led by him has been solving technical problems in the field of space elevators. This is A top player in one field."
Guarding an elevator with a vertical height of 367 kilometers on the high seas is obviously not as convenient as having this elevator inside the country.
Before Li Guangya could speak, Wu Shuhua continued.
Even Li Guangya, who previously agreed with Lu Zhou's view, now had a troubled expression on his face.
Wu Shuhua frowned and was about to say something when Li Guangya, who was standing next to him, suddenly interrupted with a smile.

really.
In addition, he also thought of some other issues, such as national security.
Freedom of navigation is the legitimate rights and interests of all countries, organizations, and regional alliances. Just because this ship is moving a little slowly, you can’t deny it a launch, right

Therefore, from this perspective, only the Pacific Ocean is the most suitable choice.

"It's right here." Academician Ge nodded and immediately brought Lu Zhou to the map suspended in the holographic window. He pointed at the red dots on the screen and said, "These are all anchorages we have inspected before. Basically Marine geologists were invited to evaluate each site... Points 104 and 86 were previously among our alternatives, but due to various reasons, we eliminated them."
It makes no sense if the space elevator is far away from the borders of pan-Asian cooperation.

Not to mention those points located in the monsoon belt. In a sense, encountering typhoons is more terrifying than earthquakes and volcanoes.
Lu Zhou smiled and nodded.

"Site selection?"
“I’m afraid not,” Secretary-General Wu Shuhua, who had been silent for a long time, frowned slightly after hearing Lu Zhou’s words and reminded, “This violates international conventions and is inconsistent with the Pan-Asian Alliance’s diplomatic norms of jointly building a community with a shared future for mankind.

The discussion seemed to be bogged down.
Lu Zhou smiled and nodded.
After looking at Academician Ge in disbelief and getting a positive expression from his face, Lu Zhou showed a speechless expression and couldn't help but complain.
"That's it."
"I don't dare to take it. I don't dare to take it. After studying this field for so many years, I can't produce any decent results. I'm really ashamed."
However, no one expected that this day would come so suddenly, that all the issues that had not been considered at the time, or not seriously considered, would be exposed.
Unfortunately, an earthquake three years ago completely ruined their plans.
Wu Shuhua frowned and was about to say something when Li Guangya, who was standing next to him, suddenly interrupted with a smile.
Looking towards the door, when he saw the people walking into the office clearly, the scholar with gray temples immediately showed a surprised expression on his face and stepped forward to greet them.
It took about three minutes for Academician Ge to explain the whole story to Lu Zhou in concise terms.
"That's it."
