Chapter 744 Space High Speed ??Rail
He Li flew to the end of the space high-speed rail track and found that the four tracks were filled with empty freight elevators, and they could not be seen to the end.
As expected, the remaining materials in the large material basket at the end have bottomed out, and many maintenance robots have stopped working and are on standby.
In order to facilitate the transportation of materials, Zhao Ming later made some improvements in this material basket so that it can function like a train station.
Through it, four tracks can be connected two by two, which is equivalent to forming two closed channels.
Then multiple cargo boxes are connected in series to form a freight train.
In this way, it will be much faster to transport materials from the space station to the end of the orbit, and the speed of operation only depends on the loading and unloading speed.
During the tens of thousands of kilometers in between, hundreds of trains flew in an orderly manner under the dispatch of Dahuang, continuously providing materials to the construction site.
After the space elevator is completed, the length of this freight train can reach 2 kilometers, which is exactly the height of Tianti Island above the water and the thickness of the space station above.
On this 2-kilometer-long "station", each cargo box can open its door and load and unload cargo at the same time.
Therefore, the transportation capacity of the entire space elevator is quite amazing.
Rather than calling it a space elevator, it would be more appropriate to call it a space high-speed rail.
As the train moved, the elastic track kept vibrating, but because the air in space was too thin, He Li did not hear any sound.
Above the Kármán line, which is 100 kilometers high, the Earth's atmosphere is extremely thin and is generally recognized as outer space.
Once the space high-speed train reaches above this altitude, the speed can be continuously increased under the action of electromagnetic force to shorten the running time.
After all, the high-speed rail line is more than 36,000 kilometers long, which is already three times the diameter of the earth.
After rounding up, it can almost circle the earth's equator.
When approaching the space station, the high-speed train cuts the magnetic field lines and converts the excess kinetic energy into electrical energy again.
This electric energy can charge the super battery in the elevator module, which can save some energy.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Just when He Li was looking at the elevator in a daze, Zhao Ming appeared in front of her.
"Hey, why aren't you wearing a steel suit?"
Zhao Ming's physical body appeared directly in space, which shocked He Li.
"Hey, my spiritual clone is wearing a steel suit. By the way, I just went to the space station and filled the warehouse inside with materials. You don't need to go there anymore."
"Wow, no way, boss, are you able to send your clones to such a far place now?"
This time He Li was really shocked.
You must know that after such a long period of training, she can only barely make her clone appear in any corner of the earth.
For example, when a person is in Lotus City, his avatar travels across the earth and appears in the United States.
This is only about 12,000 kilometers, which is more than double the distance from the space station to the ground, which is more than 36,000 kilometers.
"So you have to train more diligently." Zhao Ming began to seize the time to teach his assistant who was not diligent enough, "The level of mental attribute value is not equal to everything. The familiarity with mental power is also very important.
Only by using it more can you master more skills. For example, using less mental power to achieve better results, and projecting mental power farther..."
Fortunately, this is in space, otherwise Zhao Ming's spit would have been enough to wash He Li's face.
"Okay, okay, I know, you are so long-winded." He Li couldn't help but rolled her eyes, "I'll just practice now, is that okay?"
The gap with Zhao Ming irritated He Li.
Now that Wanda has given birth successfully, maybe she will soon become one of Zhao Ming's assistants like him.
When the time comes, with her status as a superhero being promoted by the system, there may be a situation where one plus one is greater than two. I'm afraid it won't be difficult to catch up with her, right?
Let’s not talk about not being as good as Zhao Ming. If he is still far behind Wanda, He Li will despise herself.
So she decided on the spot that she would never play games again until the space elevator was completed.
"Dahuang, stop the robot and I will lay the remaining tracks myself."
She took a deep breath, took out 30 modules from the system space, formed a 3-kilometer-long orbit in space, and then used her mental power to fasten all the buckles one by one.
The elevator track was lengthened by 3 kilometers in just a few minutes.
"By the way, this kind of motivation is what we need. Come on! I'm optimistic about you."
Zhao Ming's clone made a gesture and then slowly dissipated.
In the next few days, He Li had to stay in space for 20 hours every day, and even her meals were changed to sucking nutrient solution from inside the steel suit.
Only when she takes a bath and goes to bed will she return to the ground to rest.
As the orbit gets closer to the earth, the earth's gravity becomes stronger and stronger. It is very laborious to lift the elevator module in the air and hook it up.
However, He Li, who has undergone devilish training, has made rapid progress in the use of mental power. Not only does she not feel strenuous, but she feels more and more relaxed.
The rapid construction of space elevators has also attracted widespread attention from countries around the world.
Countless people on the earth hold up astronomical telescopes to observe every day, but because He Li's steel suit is black and blends in with the dark background in space, no one has ever discovered it.
Now the main parts of the elevator module are contracted by He Li, and the maintenance robot controlled by Dahuang is mainly responsible for installing electromagnetic guns and laser transmitters on the outer surface of the track.
Of course, these things are not installed to attack anyone, but mainly to prevent ubiquitous space junk.
In the past few decades, the human world has launched countless satellites into space, large and small.
Quite a few of them have been abandoned and have become invisible killers orbiting the earth.
Some were even used as targets for anti-satellite weapons by certain countries and were shot to pieces.
However, not all of these fragments fell back to the earth, but instead became hidden dangers that were even more difficult to detect.
Of course, the space elevator module still has a certain strength, and small debris will not cause any damage.
If it is a relatively large fragment, or an entire abandoned satellite, it will be impossible to resist and must be discovered and destroyed in advance.
Therefore, on the track of the space elevator, there will be a weapon ring at regular intervals. The weapon ring is equipped with electromagnetic guns and laser cannons, which can slide 360 degrees on the track to deal with threats from all directions.
In addition, Zhao Ming also plans to deploy some unmanned remote-controlled spacecraft in the space elevator relay station.
These small spacecrafts are also equipped with electromagnetic guns and laser cannons, so that Dahuang can remotely control them and proactively attack distant threats.
