Academy of Civilized Sciences.

Central Research Institute.

A group of scientific researchers led by R-97 were paying close attention to the material test in front of them with a nervous expression.

"Dean, the test results are out."

A researcher in a white coat walked up to R-97 and handed over a piece of electronic tablet with silver metal borders.

Click on the electronic screen, and data flows through R-97's eyes like a waterfall.

As the data was constantly viewing, the expression on R-97's face gradually became relaxed from solemnity, and finally a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"The T-2 light alloy is finally completed."

"Congratulations to the Dean!"

"Very good!"

"Ha ha!"

“…”

Listening to the cheers of the core team members, the smile on R-97's face became even more intense.

T=2-grade light alloy is a new alloy derived from T-2-grade aluminum ferroalloy.

This new alloy has the same properties as nanopolymer materials. It not only has high temperature resistance, high pressure resistance, cold resistance, radiation resistance, but also has ultra-high resistivity.

The most important thing is that compared with T-2 grade ferroalloy, the total amount of T-2 grade light alloy is more than ten times lighter. A piece of T-2 grade light alloy of the same volume feels like a ball of slightly heavier cotton wool in your hand.

This material is the basic material for building sky cities that the Central Institute has been studying.

In addition, the manufacturing of T-2-grade light alloy requires a large amount of crude steel.

This is also the main reason why Lu Chen acquires steel companies worldwide and buys so much steel.

With the current international environment, the power has developed to the current level of Lu Chen. There are only two ways to continue to expand.

First, launch a world war and use war to re-establish the world pattern.

Otherwise, Lu Chen would be extremely impressed to secretly control many African countries and become the overlord of Africa.

Second, open up living space outside.

With the current living environment of human beings, the living space that can be opened up is not sufficient.

Either develop downward, such as building underground cities, undersea cities, etc.

Or it is to explore space or alien planets.

Compared to establishing underground cities and undersea cities, Lu Chen himself prefers to explore the starry sky above his head, which may be related to humans' preference for looking up at the starry sky.

Moreover, humans' potential after moving into the starry sky is much greater than being a crypt.

Of course, the greater the potential, the greater the difficulty.

Strictly speaking.

The Academy of Civilized Sciences is an underground city.

This proves that Lu Chen is already able to build an underground city. Perhaps it is difficult to build an undersea city, but it is still much less difficult to build a undersea city than building a space city that allows humans to survive in space.

If you want to build a submarine city, you only need to solve problems such as light, ecosystem circulation, and submarine pressure.

But if you want to build a space city, it is at least ten times more difficult than building a submarine city.

Without mentioning anything, it is not something that any country or organization can do just by transporting materials that can build a city into the space environment.

Even if all countries around the world unite and do it at all costs, it will be difficult to deal with it.

Because the world's mainstream space transportation technology is still a launch vehicle technology.

Take the largest launch vehicle by mankind to date, as an example, its takeoff weight is 3,000 tons, but it can only transport about 100 tons to the Earth's low-Earth orbit.

The height of low-Earth orbit is only 2,000 kilometers.

With the rocket's carrying capacity, it is difficult to transport all the materials of the entire space city to the public. It is difficult to say whether it can be done for hundreds or thousands of years.

What's more, space cities require the minimum construction in geosynchronous orbit, which is an altitude of 36,000 kilometers from the earth.

At such a long distance, not to mention carrying materials from a city, even if it is transporting something weighing a ton, few countries can do it.

And what can a ton of things do in space?

Replenish the resource consumption of the space station?

Therefore, transportation capacity is the biggest obstacle for humans to move into space.

Seeing everyone's joy, R-97 coughed gently, interrupting everyone's cheers and said, "Okay, don't be too happy too early. The successful development of T-2 light alloy is just a trivial part of the entire space city plan.

If you want to complete the entire space city plan, aerospace transport aircraft is the key link."

Hearing this, everyone's cheers gradually faded.

At the level of everyone present, they certainly understood this.

Whether the space city plan can be implemented is the decisive part.

Only when carrying technology is revolutionary breakthrough can humans truly move into space, rather than carefully conducting extremely expensive space research like now.

......

Civilized Science City.

Civilized building.

Amir, who visited China, returned to the Civilized Science City and reported to Lu Chen in the office.

"Swishy!"

Lu Chen slowly looked through the cooperation treaty signed by Amir and China, while Amir sat upright opposite Lu Chen.

"good!"

After quickly browsing the contract signed by Amir, Lu Chen closed the documents and said with a smile, "In this way, the preliminary material problem for building a space city has finally been solved."

"Space City?"

Amir obviously didn't know Lu Chen's space city plan.

In fact, Amir's status in Luchen Group is not high. Strictly speaking, his status is not even as high as that of the boss of Chensheng Technology's larger subsidiary.

Because Amir himself is the puppet president whom Lu Chen supported to the Cannia government.

Even if Amir holds all the real powers of Kania, his status is not worth mentioning.

Because not counting the power of Luchen Group, Cannia's own power is too weak.

Although the outside world's evaluation of Cannia is constantly rising, it is based on its victory over the Rainbow Country.

What is the real situation in Kania? Others don’t know what it is. Can Amir, the president of Kania, still not count?

"Yes, space city!"

Lu Chen nodded.

Originally, Lu Chen decided to silently create the aerospace transport plane and then try to build a space city in a low-key manner.

As for whether the future can be hidden, Lu Chen didn't care much.

Anyway, he has done all the preparations he should do to build this space city.

Even if the construction of the space city ultimately fails, it is still no problem to build it into a spaceport.

But in the battle with the Rainbow Kingdom, Cannia replaced the Civilized Science City and made a big splash.

This made the international community, which had already paid great attention to the Civilized Science City, even now became extremely concerned about Cannia.

This kind of concern is a good thing from the perspective of a country's economic development.

But for Lu Chen himself, it is not a good thing.

The Civilized Science City has been developed to this day, relying on the plug-in of the Civilized Science Academy and the Science and Technology Editor.

Not the external environment.

In other words, the current Civilized Science City has completely escaped from the stage of relying on the external environment.
