Chapter 3385 Space Elevator
Scientific research has always been a very boring thing.
Because, you need to keep repeating the same action, and most importantly, it is very brain-intensive.
But scientific research is also happy.
Because how much failure you endure, how much success you will usher in.
When Fang Lei relayed Qin Luo's words to everyone, the whole laboratory completely boiled over!
Is failure terrible?
terrible!
But because he is scary, should we be afraid of him?
If it was changed, they might have considered this issue carefully for a long time before.
But now, they don't need to think about it, they just say no!
They even have a word in their hearts, that is: let the failure come more violently!
Yes, they want to make the failure come harder!
They can't wait to learn from their failures and move on!
Of course, when everyone was busy, Qin Luo was not idle.
He is also thinking.
What material can support hundreds of tons of objects?
Countless materials flashed through Qin Luo's mind.
Polyamide Kevlar-29 fiber?UHMWPE fibers?
But the next second Qin Luo shook his head again.
These materials are good, but their strength and flexibility are not enough.
Forget it, check online...
Qin Luo shook his head, although Qin Luo didn't want to admit it, but sometimes he had to admit that it's really useless to think hard behind closed doors.
"King of Invention" Edison once said: Genius is 90.00% sweat plus 90.00% inspiration. Even so, that [-]% inspiration is more rare than [-]% sweat.
Sometimes, inspiration is far more important than thinking hard.
He took out his mobile phone and clicked on Penguin Portal.
The invitation letter from NASA is still placed in the most conspicuous position, and another piece of news is also conspicuous.
"Shocking, epoch-making great idea - space elevator!"
"The Lane Aerospace Institute is at the forefront of the aerospace industry!"
"See greatness again..."
This piece of news immediately caught Qin Luo's attention.
space elevator.
These four words instantly aroused Qin Luo's curiosity.
Building elevators in space?
Unlikely, right?
Out of strong curiosity, Qin Luo clicked into the webpage and began to check.
The next moment, Qin Luo's eyes widened.
The news reports were exactly as he imagined. The Lane Institute for Aerospace Research envisages erecting elevators in space.
Their idea is simple: The main body of the space elevator is a cable that permanently connects the space station to the surface of the earth, and can be used to transport people and cargo from the ground to the space station.
The space elevator can also be used as a launch system, because the space elevator must be driven by the earth to rotate, and the higher the place, the faster the speed, so the spaceship can be transported from the ground to a place high enough outside the atmosphere, and it only needs a little acceleration to start sailing.
Or use a space elevator to bring the parts up to the space station and assemble them there.
Wonderful idea!
Genius idea!
Even Qin Luo never thought of it!
"Wait, the earth has rotation force, and the higher the place, the faster the speed, what kind of cable can carry such a huge amount of energy?" Qin Luo whispered.
Yes, he was puzzled. The power of inertia is huge. To build an elevator, not only does it need to match the speed of the earth, it also needs a very tough material.
