Just as reporters from all over the world were shocked by what they saw in Penglai City, a similar scene was happening in a synchronous orbit 36,000 kilometers away.
Glancing at this guy, Lu Zhou had a vague feeling that he might be thinking of something rude when he said this, but Lu Zhou didn't say anything.
When the introduction finally came to an end, he found the opportunity and quickly coughed and interjected.
"While the outer cantilever compensates for the gravity of the space station through motion inertia, it also provides an 'approximate gravity' to the inside of the annular structure outside the cantilever that passes through the center of the circle and outwards due to its own rotation. This kind of gravity is not caused by gravity. , rather provided by centrifugal force, but can produce a similar effect.”

However, those who were moved by the sight before them were not the reporters from all over the world, but the members of the Space Elevator Construction Committee who came by shuttle to inspect and accept the project, as well as the engineers and scientific researchers responsible for the design work.
"It's really exciting."
"The entire Tianting space station can be divided into two parts, namely the central axis and the cantilever. And the location we are now at is the groundward side of the central axis area... which is the first floor of the entire space station."
It is more than a spectacle.
"It's really exciting."
"Is this the heaven..."

This kind of gravity is not caused by gravity. , rather provided by centrifugal force, but can produce a similar effect.”
After getting off the shuttle, Lu Zhou led a group of people towards the control center. While admiring the nearly perfect "artwork" he designed, Lu Zhou introduced the situation here to others behind him.
"If the axial area is the heart and brain, then the cantilever area is the torso."
Sitting on the shuttle to the Tianting, looking directly at the majestic space fortress outside the window, Li Guangya's eyes were filled with excitement, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh.
In order to allow this energy to enter the atmosphere-filled surface from the vacuum environment with lower losses, he needs an optical cable extending from the surface to space to carry the huge energy from the moon.
"When the living space is insufficient, we can dock a new space station on the outside of the cantilever and adjust the rotation speed of the cantilever and the center of gravity of the space station to bring the motion system back into balance..."
As the nominal head of the Space Elevator Construction Committee, his signature means the final red stamp on the project delivery documents for the entire project.
Just as reporters from all over the world were shocked by what they saw in Penglai City, a similar scene was happening in a synchronous orbit 36,000 kilometers away.
Passing through the circular hatch at the bottom, with the docking of the connecting arm and the fall of the air pressure lock, the shuttle quickly and firmly rested on the berth of the Tianting space station.
As for the Tianting, it still has at least a century to fill its wings and show its prosperity to the world...
If nothing else, this is probably the largest and most complex space project built in a gravity environment in the history of human space.
If nothing else, this is probably the largest and most complex space project built in a gravity environment in the history of human space.
Therefore, after hearing the news of the completion of the space elevator, he immediately asked his secretary to cancel all the schedule for the day and boarded the first flight to the Tianting without stopping.
After getting off the shuttle, Lu Zhou led a group of people towards the control center. While admiring the nearly perfect "artwork" he designed, Lu Zhou introduced the situation here to others behind him.
The eternal pursuit of higher, stronger and more magnificent buildings is the eternal pursuit of Chinese civilization originating from the Mesopotamia. Over thousands of years, this emotion has been integrated into everyone's blood and engraved in the genes of culture.
It is also a milestone of civilization...
"Of course when the whole Sky Elevator is completed."
"At the same time, it is also the place where Tianting connects with the space elevator."
There is the moon.
"Yes," Lu Zhou, who was standing beside him, glanced at Li Guangya and casually replied in a casual tone, "How do you think it compares to the one in myths and legends?"
…
"So, when designing the cantilevered part, I defined it on the blueprint as the living area and designed the interface specifically for this part."
If nothing else, this is probably the largest and most complex space project built in a gravity environment in the history of human space.
Lu Zhou originally just said this casually, but Li Guangya, who heard this sentence, thought about it seriously for a long time.
"My positioning of the central axis part on the blueprint is the industrial area and the experimental area. This part of the area is stationary relative to the earth, and the gravity in both the longitudinal and vertical axis directions is close to zero. If we talk about the outer cantilever The district is for people to live in, so this part is the factory and logistics transfer base that provides daily necessities for the residents of the cantilever district."
It is also the direction of Guanghan City.
Lu Zhou glanced sideways at Li Guangya and continued.
Sitting on the shuttle to the Tianting, looking directly at the majestic space fortress outside the window, Li Guangya's eyes were filled with excitement, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh.
If nothing else, this is probably the largest and most complex space project built in a gravity environment in the history of human space.
You know, it took the Lagrange Point Space Base more than half a century to develop from the original berth hovering near the Lagrange Point to its current scale.
After a long time, he shook his head and spoke softly with emotion.
Viewed from a distance, the majestic space fortress is like a rotating top, pulled by the inertia of the two motion systems, and achieving a dynamic balance with gravity that can be adjusted at any time.
"I already know that the cantilever is the living area... What about the central axis? I don't care about the specific theory, just keep it simple..."
Lu Zhou glanced sideways at Li Guangya and continued.
Lu Zhou originally just said this casually, but Li Guangya, who heard this sentence, thought about it seriously for a long time.
"There is no comparison at all. When it comes to propositions about the universe, the imagination of the ancients is still too lacking. Even if I read through all the myths and allusions I am familiar with, the palace in the clouds seems shabby compared with this towering fortress. Quite a bit. Whether from the perspective of artistic value or practicality, I can only use the word incredible to describe it... "

Sitting on the shuttle to the Tianting, looking directly at the majestic space fortress outside the window, Li Guangya's eyes were filled with excitement, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"This is not a complicated theory in the first place. Putting aside those details, I think even a junior high school student in the 21st century can understand these things."

…
The several-kilometer-long cylindrical structure is suspended steadily in a synchronous orbit, with its central axis pointed straight at the blue planet. The four arc-shaped cantilevers on the outside open outwards, like the propellers at the tail of a submarine, spinning silently at a slow speed.
On this space station called Tianting, these elements are undoubtedly reflected to the extreme.
"If the axial area is the heart and brain, then the cantilever area is the torso."
As the nominal head of the Space Elevator Construction Committee, his signature means the final red stamp on the project delivery documents for the entire project.
However, the most important middle section of the entire space elevator has not yet started construction, so it is currently being used as a temporary berth.
However, no one expected that in his lifetime, he would actually see his dream come true.
Viewed from a distance, the majestic space fortress is like a rotating top, pulled by the inertia of the two motion systems, and achieving a dynamic balance with gravity that can be adjusted at any time.
Listening to Lu Zhou's eloquent talk, Li Guangya had a confused expression on his face.
"What to expect?"
Standing in the vast cold night, it is like a star that will never fall, covering up all the sparkles in the entire night sky, as well as the crystallization of all the wisdom of all civilizations in history.

When he said this, a smile appeared on Lu Zhou's face involuntarily, and his eyes unconsciously fell on the floor-to-ceiling windows beside him.

Although it is slightly inferior in scale to the space base at Lagrange Point, the interfaces left on the outside of Tianting provide unlimited possibilities for the future of this space station.
He had been working hard to realize this dream long before he took up the position of chairman. Whether it is to leave a name in history, or for a certain ambition that he once said, this space elevator is an indispensable and important part of the blueprint in his mind.
There is the moon.

After a long time, he shook his head and spoke softly with emotion.
Although he did not express his emotion in words, from the guy's clenched fists, Lu Zhou could still feel the shock of being impressed by the charm of science that overflowed from his heart.
There is the moon.
Passing through the circular hatch at the bottom, with the docking of the connecting arm and the fall of the air pressure lock, the shuttle quickly and firmly rested on the berth of the Tianting space station.
The second-generation controllable fusion reactor has been completed on the moon, and the huge helium-3 reserves are being converted into endless energy. However, the industrial capacity on the moon alone is not enough to completely digest these energy sources.
In order to allow this energy to enter the atmosphere-filled surface from the vacuum environment with lower losses, he needs an optical cable extending from the surface to space to carry the huge energy from the moon.

Just like he never thought that the greatest scholar a hundred years ago would wake up from the grave, lift the coffin boards and come out to help him "realize his dream."

Although he has also considered that with the current technical conditions, he may not be able to see the space elevator actually completed on this planet until he retires.

When the introduction finally came to an end, he found the opportunity and quickly coughed and interjected.
"The entire Tianting space station can be divided into two parts, namely the central axis and the cantilever. And the location we are now at is the groundward side of the central axis area... which is the first floor of the entire space station."
"What to expect?"
"There is no comparison at all. When it comes to propositions about the universe, the imagination of the ancients is still too lacking. Even if I read through all the myths and allusions I am familiar with, the palace in the clouds seems shabby compared with this towering fortress. Quite a bit. Whether from the perspective of artistic value or practicality, I can only use the word incredible to describe it... "
"When the living space is insufficient, we can dock a new space station on the outside of the cantilever and adjust the rotation speed of the cantilever and the center of gravity of the space station to bring the motion system back into balance..."
Lu Zhou originally just said this casually, but Li Guangya, who heard this sentence, thought about it seriously for a long time.
Passing through the circular hatch at the bottom, with the docking of the connecting arm and the fall of the air pressure lock, the shuttle quickly and firmly rested on the berth of the Tianting space station.
Although he did not express his emotion in words, from the guy's clenched fists, Lu Zhou could still feel the shock of being impressed by the charm of science that overflowed from his heart.
You know, it took the Lagrange Point Space Base more than half a century to develop from the original berth hovering near the Lagrange Point to its current scale.
In order to allow this energy to enter the atmosphere-filled surface from the vacuum environment with lower losses, he needs an optical cable extending from the surface to space to carry the huge energy from the moon.
However, the most important middle section of the entire space elevator has not yet started construction, so it is currently being used as a temporary berth.

…
Sitting on the shuttle to the Tianting, looking directly at the majestic space fortress outside the window, Li Guangya's eyes were filled with excitement, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Although it is slightly inferior in scale to the space base at Lagrange Point, the interfaces left on the outside of Tianting provide unlimited possibilities for the future of this space station.
"If the axial area is the heart and brain, then the cantilever area is the torso."
When the introduction finally came to an end, he found the opportunity and quickly coughed and interjected.
When the introduction finally came to an end, he found the opportunity and quickly coughed and interjected.
Viewed from a distance, the majestic space fortress is like a rotating top, pulled by the inertia of the two motion systems, and achieving a dynamic balance with gravity that can be adjusted at any time.
"Of course when the whole Sky Elevator is completed."
Glancing at this guy, Lu Zhou had a vague feeling that he might be thinking of something rude when he said this, but Lu Zhou didn't say anything.
All of this is so unreal...
On this space station called Tianting, these elements are undoubtedly reflected to the extreme.
"When the living space is insufficient, we can dock a new space station on the outside of the cantilever and adjust the rotation speed of the cantilever and the center of gravity of the space station to bring the motion system back into balance..."
"I already know that the cantilever is the living area... What about the central axis? I don't care about the specific theory, just keep it simple..."
"Yes," Lu Zhou, who was standing beside him, glanced at Li Guangya and casually replied in a casual tone, "How do you think it compares to the one in myths and legends?"
There is the moon.
"There is no comparison at all. When it comes to propositions about the universe, the imagination of the ancients is still too lacking. Even if I read through all the myths and allusions I am familiar with, the palace in the clouds seems shabby compared with this towering fortress. Quite a bit. Whether from the perspective of artistic value or practicality, I can only use the word incredible to describe it... "
The second-generation controllable fusion reactor has been completed on the moon, and the huge helium-3 reserves are being converted into endless energy. However, the industrial capacity on the moon alone is not enough to completely digest these energy sources.
There is the moon.
As the nominal head of the Space Elevator Construction Committee, his signature means the final red stamp on the project delivery documents for the entire project.
Although he has also considered that with the current technical conditions, he may not be able to see the space elevator actually completed on this planet until he retires.
"At the same time, it is also the place where Tianting connects with the space elevator."
"This is not a complicated theory in the first place. Putting aside those details, I think even a junior high school student in the 21st century can understand these things."
If nothing else, this is probably the largest and most complex space project built in a gravity environment in the history of human space.
That is, an energy and information corridor spanning between heaven and earth!

Lu Zhou glanced sideways at Li Guangya and continued.

On this space station called Tianting, these elements are undoubtedly reflected to the extreme.
"My positioning of the central axis part on the blueprint is the industrial area and the experimental area. This part of the area is stationary relative to the earth, and the gravity in both the longitudinal and vertical axis directions is close to zero. If we talk about the outer cantilever The district is for people to live in, so this part is the factory and logistics transfer base that provides daily necessities for the residents of the cantilever district."
"If the axial area is the heart and brain, then the cantilever area is the torso."
"It's really exciting."
"At the same time, it is also the place where Tianting connects with the space elevator."
Although it is slightly inferior in scale to the space base at Lagrange Point, the interfaces left on the outside of Tianting provide unlimited possibilities for the future of this space station.
As for the Tianting, it still has at least a century to fill its wings and show its prosperity to the world...
When he said this, a smile appeared on Lu Zhou's face involuntarily, and his eyes unconsciously fell on the floor-to-ceiling windows beside him.
After getting off the shuttle, Lu Zhou led a group of people towards the control center. While admiring the nearly perfect "artwork" he designed, Lu Zhou introduced the situation here to others behind him.
The second-generation controllable fusion reactor has been completed on the moon, and the huge helium-3 reserves are being converted into endless energy. However, the industrial capacity on the moon alone is not enough to completely digest these energy sources.
However, those who were moved by the sight before them were not the reporters from all over the world, but the members of the Space Elevator Construction Committee who came by shuttle to inspect and accept the project, as well as the engineers and scientific researchers responsible for the design work.
When he said this, a smile appeared on Lu Zhou's face involuntarily, and his eyes unconsciously fell on the floor-to-ceiling windows beside him.
Passing through the circular hatch at the bottom, with the docking of the connecting arm and the fall of the air pressure lock, the shuttle quickly and firmly rested on the berth of the Tianting space station.
Lu Zhou originally just said this casually, but Li Guangya, who heard this sentence, thought about it seriously for a long time.

"So, when designing the cantilevered part, I defined it on the blueprint as the living area and designed the interface specifically for this part."
Glancing at this guy, Lu Zhou had a vague feeling that he might be thinking of something rude when he said this, but Lu Zhou didn't say anything.
Sitting on the shuttle to the Tianting, looking directly at the majestic space fortress outside the window, Li Guangya's eyes were filled with excitement, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh.
On this space station called Tianting, these elements are undoubtedly reflected to the extreme.
However, no one expected that in his lifetime, he would actually see his dream come true.
It is also a milestone of civilization...
It is also the direction of Guanghan City.
Although he has also considered that with the current technical conditions, he may not be able to see the space elevator actually completed on this planet until he retires.
Just like he never thought that the greatest scholar a hundred years ago would wake up from the grave, lift the coffin boards and come out to help him "realize his dream."
"Of course when the whole Sky Elevator is completed."
Although he did not express his emotion in words, from the guy's clenched fists, Lu Zhou could still feel the shock of being impressed by the charm of science that overflowed from his heart.
As a bridge connecting heaven and earth, his expectation for this space elevator is not just a fast channel for exchanging materials, or a bridge that allows people to travel to and from empty space at a faster speed.
"If the axial area is the heart and brain, then the cantilever area is the torso."
"Is this the heaven..."
However, no one expected that in his lifetime, he would actually see his dream come true.

Just as reporters from all over the world were shocked by what they saw in Penglai City, a similar scene was happening in a synchronous orbit 36,000 kilometers away.
Passing through the circular hatch at the bottom, with the docking of the connecting arm and the fall of the air pressure lock, the shuttle quickly and firmly rested on the berth of the Tianting space station.
"It's really exciting."
As the nominal head of the Space Elevator Construction Committee, his signature means the final red stamp on the project delivery documents for the entire project.
…
Therefore, after hearing the news of the completion of the space elevator, he immediately asked his secretary to cancel all the schedule for the day and boarded the first flight to the Tianting without stopping.

If nothing else, this is probably the largest and most complex space project built in a gravity environment in the history of human space.
It is more than a spectacle.
And this is another meaning of this space elevator that is most valuable to human civilization besides the elevator itself -
It is more than a spectacle.
