Chapter 1,143 The Idea of a Lunar Elevator
Moon elevator?
After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Tang Weijie was startled for a moment, then suddenly became happy and said with a smile.
"Moon elevator? I don't have any objections. This is a great thing for Guanghan City! I discussed this matter with people from several other departments a few days ago. If we can combine the lunar surface and the circumlunar The circular tracks are connected with elevators, and the cargo loading and unloading efficiency in Guanghan City will be increased by at least twice!”
Not to mention cargo handling efficiency, energy alone can save a lot.
Futureman Heavy Industries has accumulated a wealth of construction experience when building Star Ring City. Building this elevator, which is only two hundred kilometers long, can easily do the job even if it is not a wreckage picked up from the apocalypse.
In the following time, while Jiang Chen was walking in the lower city of Guanghan City, he discussed the construction issues of the lunar elevator with Tang Weijie next to him.
This elevator does not need to be as huge as the one on Earth, and even the living space can be omitted. It only needs to be equipped with four rotating counterweights at the end to leave room for the port. There is still a lot of space on the moon that can be opened up, and there is no need to go to outer space to open up.
What's more, since there is no synchronous track, the elevator cannot rely on inertial force to maintain balance with gravity. Building it too large will increase the cost. For Guanghan City, which wants to save costs, the gains outweigh the losses.
…
After the first day's visit, the group took the elevator back to the surface. Under the leadership of Tang Weijie, Jiang Chen and Xia Shiyu went to the hotel where they were staying.
Although the living space in Guanghan City is mainly concentrated underground, that is only for ordinary people.
After all, it is rare for everyone to come back to the moon. If possible, no one wants to live in a small "tunnel" and stare at the cold ceiling.
It is precisely because of this idea and the high maintenance cost of ground buildings that the land price in Guanghan City's surface area can simply be described as every inch of land is precious. Only wealthy people with assets worth tens of millions can afford to stay in hotels on the surface. As for those independent houses with lunar rover, garage, sauna and other facilities, only the rich with assets of hundreds of millions dare to consider them.
As for private property?
Sorry, Guanghan City has no plans to build residential areas on the moon yet. All the properties listed for sale are five hundred meters underground, and the prices are often ridiculously high... The most amazing thing is that such a high price There is a price but no market.
Lying in the steaming bath,
Jiang Chen enjoyed the feeling of taking a bath on the moon while looking at the blue planet outside the window, emptying his mind to pass the time.
The feeling of taking a bath on the moon is not much different from that on the earth. How much of the body can be exposed when soaking in the water is only related to the difference between the density of the body and the density of water, and has nothing to do with the acceleration of gravity.
Just when Jiang Chen was letting his thoughts wander, a rustling sound came from behind him.
The clothes were placed in the basket, and light steps stepped on the tiles. Listening to the "da da" sound gradually approaching, Jiang Chen's lips curved into a smile, and soon through the thick layer of mist, a smooth jade foot gently touched the water of the bathing pool. .
"It's not hot, come in." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Xia Shiyu's face turned as red as an apple, and she quickly sat in the bathtub with her arms folded across her chest. She glanced at Jiang Chen who was leaning on the opposite side, bit her thin lips lightly, and whispered sheepishly.
"I thought you were asleep."
"I almost fell asleep," Jiang Chen curled his lips with a wicked smile, "Now I can't sleep at all. Tell me how you plan to compensate me."
Seeing the expression of being obedient despite being given the advantage, Xia Shiyu rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen angrily.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally overcame her shame and obeyed her heart. She moved her thighs and slowly sat next to Jiang Chen. The moment she rested her face on the hot chest, she felt as if her heart was about to pop out of her chest.
After a while, the throbbing gradually calmed down with time.
A meteorite streaked across the night sky and hit not far from the window.
Jiang Chen said with some emotion while holding Xia Shiyu's slender shoulders and looking at the dust floating outside the window.
"It would be great if we could get the shield technology over."
"Shield technology?" Xia Shiyu tilted her head and asked in confusion.
"To be precise, it's called the Holy Shield System. It's found in important cities such as Wanghai City and Shangjing City in the end of the world. It's probably the prototype of the shield covering the outside of the spaceship in science fiction blockbusters. Pan-Asian cooperation is in There is a lot of defense technology, but so far, the scientists I trained there have not been able to fully understand the technology." Jiang Chen sighed and said with regret.
Not sure which word made her laugh, Xia Shiyu snorted without warning and buried her face in Jiang Chen's shoulder, causing her shoulders to tremble.
"Raise, raise scientists...Pfft..."
Hey, hey, that’s not it, your smile is too low...
Seeing her suppressing laughter, Jiang Chen made a helpless expression.
"It's about raising people, and what I said is right. When I pay my salary every month, I will ask them if they want money or food. As a result, without saying a word, they pick up rice and canned meat one by one, and they are very happy. Gone home."
Although with the Eden Project, even the survivors in the slums can occasionally eat two steamed buns to improve their food, food is still one of the most popular goods in the wasteland. Even if the credit points occasionally depreciate, every day The food consumed will never depreciate significantly.
It's better to take the uneaten food to the Sixth Street and sell it than to receive the credits directly.
…
After taking a bath for more than an hour, the fatigue of the whole day was gone.
After lingering in the dressing room for a long time, Jiang Chen got dressed and walked out of the bathroom while stretching.
It was now seven o'clock in the evening New Zealand time, and there was a banquet waiting for him in an hour.
At that time, entrepreneurs from all over the world with a total investment of more than 1 billion Singapore dollars in Guanghan City, as well as top figures from all walks of life in Guanghan City will be present. The purpose of this banquet was firstly to celebrate the permanent population of Guanghan City exceeding 30,000, secondly to celebrate the start of construction of the first warship of the Earth Fleet, and thirdly to welcome the visit of Jiang Chen, the "lord" of Guanghan City.
There is no doubt that the last one is the main reason.
For those capitalists pursuing the Star Ring trade, Jiang Chen's existence is simply a breathing gold mine. Even if you are lucky enough to shake hands with him, have a glass of wine, or even have a casual chat, this banquet will be worthwhile.
Apart from anything else, he could force several multi-millionaires to come out by simply pointing in the direction outside the door and revealing where Guanghan City would build houses in the future.
Naturally, the moment he walked into the banquet hall with Xia Shiyu, he immediately became the focus of the entire banquet... (To be continued.)
