Chapter 796 Babel Tower on the Blueprint
? Philippine Army Command, high-level military and political circles gathered here, but at the moment the headquarters is terribly quiet.
Moritz, the military adviser sent by the Freemasonry from Europe, said nothing, and the expression on his face could not tell the fluctuations in his heart at the moment. Philippine President Aquino IV looked left and right, adjusted his tight collar, and whispered to the secretary beside him.
"Pour me a glass of water, thank you."
The secretary nodded, turned and walked out the door.
On the other side of the command table, the new Field Marshal Stark stood there, watching the live broadcast of the military exercise that had ended without saying a word. up.
Star Ring Trade did not keep the landing combat drill project secret, but at the request of the United Nations, it generously disclosed it to Southeast Asian countries. In Stark's view, this is simply a provocation... Even if I show you the cards, you still can't beat us!
Star Ring Trade has already written this sentence on its face!
"Arrogance..."
"What about the subject of urban warfare?" Moritz, a military adviser from Germany, turned his attention to Marshal Stark and said in a meticulous voice, "Compared with the performance of drones in beach landing operations, I am more worried about the fact that the Man-Machine Performance in Urban Warfare."
The high maneuverability and flexibility of drones are tailor-made for urban terrain! Although he also didn't know much about this hummingbird drone, Moritz saw at a glance that its real stage was not on the beach, but in the city!
"No," Aquino IV shook his head and answered the question, "They only disclosed sensitive landing operations, and the combat videos of street warfare, jungle, and mountain warfare subjects were not released to the United Nations. I protested, but it was useless ..."
In the last sentence, Aquino IV said very helplessly.
Marshal Stark looked at Moritz, hoping to get a way to fight the star ring trade from this military adviser from Europe.
"The chances of winning are very low, but it's not impossible." Moritz pondered for a moment, and said with his knuckles resting on his chin, "Tactically, it's not easy to hit a drone with a rifle at mid-range, but at close range Using shotguns at a distance, using fragmentation grenades and rifle grenades at a medium distance can still pose a threat to this short-range drone. Strategically, using signal shielding to interfere with the connection between the drone and the terminal, although it may hinder your own communication, But it should be able to effectively restrain the drone tactics of the Starlink trade."
"We must immediately make adjustments to our front-line deployments,
The Mindanao counteroffensive plan is temporarily postponed, we need more time! "
...
As far as the results are concerned, the results of the Singapore-Malaysia joint military exercise are quite outstanding.
After seeing the powerful combat capabilities of the Starlink Trade Marine Corps, the Philippine Army deployed in the southern part of Luzon Island is obviously much more peaceful.
However, the newly-appointed Philippine President and Field Marshal obviously did not give up, and the Freemasonry, which provided loans for the modernization of the Philippine military, did not waver in the slightest. It still sent tanks and modern equipment to Luzon Island step by step. The already grim situation in the region has added another firewood.
But to be honest, even if all the more than 80,000 Filipino troops are equipped with modern equipment, Jiang Chen is not very worried that the Moro regime, which is supported by the star ring trade, will lose. The cards in his hand are not just the Hummingbird drone and the Aurora-20. If the Philippines really dares to come, the people from the Star Ring trade will directly push them to Manila this time!
The exercise lasted three days in total.
Three days later, the soldiers of the Star Ring trade boarded the transport ship and set off from the port in the New Mata District for the return voyage.
Jiang Chen personally went to the Singapore-Malaysia special zone. After meeting with the Malay president, he drew a perfect conclusion to the Singapore-Malaysia joint military exercise.
After returning to Koro Island, good news came from the Aerospace Science and Technology Center. A major technological breakthrough has been made in the orbit 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 mathematical model established by the quantum computer was verified.
After hearing the news, Jiang Chen just got off the plane and didn't even go home. He went directly to the Future Man Building, found Kerwin in the research institute, and ordered the technicians of the research institute to call up the engineering concept drawing.
The faint blue light particles are projected in the air, and the space elevator that reaches the synchronous orbit is like an umbrella stretched outward. One side is a long and narrow "cable" that runs through the stratosphere transit station and reaches the ground directly, while the other side is a wheel-shaped space station, which serves as a living and working space in the outer orbit, and also serves as a space elevator to control the center of gravity on the synchronous orbit. "Balance hammer".
Dinghaishenzhen Space Elevator,
"The ability of the graphene track to withstand tension is much greater than the ability to bear pressure. Compared with being broken by its own gravity, the risk of the track being crushed by its own weight is greater. In order to prevent the space elevator from being crushed by its own weight, our engineers came up with I came up with an idea to hang a 36,000-kilometer-long cable from the space station in synchronous orbit to the ground. At the other end of the cable, there is a wheel-shaped "counterweight". The center of gravity is at the back of the space station. Rotating on the same axis at a constant speed, the centrifugal force exerts an outward pull on the 'cable', preventing our track from bearing the pressure of its own weight!"
"At the same time, the wheel-shaped counterweight itself will also serve as a part of the space station, providing additional living and working space for the space station!"
Having said that, a trace of sincere pride appeared on Kerwin's face.
If it was placed a year ago, before the breakthrough of graphene materials, such a design concept would undoubtedly be ridiculed as a dream. Just like when the American physicist Pearson proposed the concept of a space elevator in 1970, his colleagues and the media made unfriendly suggestions to him-"change your career and write science fiction."
However, today, the design of the "counterweight" will definitely become the standard for the construction of space elevators in the future, and because of this design, Kerwin will also become one of the founders of the interstellar era of earth civilization!
He does have the capital to be proud of.
Although the future space elevator also has a structure similar to a "counterweight", Jiang Chen did not mention the specific design plan in the information provided to the Aerospace Science and Technology Center. The required front-end technology and that elevator base.
"How much will the project cost?"
When mentioning the cost, Kerwin's expression became a little embarrassed. This space elevator is good for everything, but the cost is not close to the people. The "2050 Space Elevator Construction Plan" announced by Japan's Obayashi Construction Company, which built the "Sky Tree" for Tokyo, has an estimated construction cost of 9.5 billion, which is almost one-twelfth of his quotation.
Of course, one of the reasons is that the former just opened his mouth and talked casually.
"From the orbit to the space station, the total project cost... is estimated to be 120 billion U.S. dollars."
"No problem, I will find a way in terms of funds. In the future, Renhe will cooperate with you to adjust production capacity. The construction will start tomorrow. Can it be done?"
Jiang Chen's reaction was beyond Kerwin's expectations, not to mention hesitant, the chairman didn't even bat an eye when he approved the start of work. This damn is not two thousand dollars, but two hundred billion!
Kerwin stood there in shock, speechless for a moment.
"Any more questions?" Seeing that his subordinates were silent, Jiang Chen asked suspiciously.
Jiang Chen's question immediately brought Kerwen back to his senses, and he stood at attention as if he had been beaten with blood, and said loudly with excitement on his face.
"No! No questions asked! Guaranteed to complete the task!"
Although he didn't know why he suddenly reacted so excitedly, Jiang Chen was naturally very happy to see his subordinates so energetic, and immediately patted him on the shoulder and said.
"Then go!" (To be continued.)
