They stood on a hill - the hill was originally more than 200 meters above sea level, but now it is only about forty or fifty meters left, and it is still decreasing - so the scene of the entire island is fully visible.

Looking at this unprecedented huge construction site, Jiang Yulan was slightly lost.

An expert who was accompanying him gave an order, and some of the staff who followed him scattered with various tools, went to different places on the island, and began to measure data.

Two days later, in a simple conference room, the experts came up with their own conclusions.

"Space elevator. It's a space elevator."

This name was slightly unfamiliar to Jiang Yulan. But she immediately reacted.

She has heard of this concept in a popular science program.

She remained silent.

"We have comprehensively analyzed the meteorological, geology, geography, engineering planning and other data here in the past two days, and agreed that the most likely option is the space elevator. In the future, massive resources from all over the world will gather here, and then we will reach space through the cable connecting the world and the universe..."

"If you want to build a space elevator, the geographical location here is the best. You see, the wind here is always lower than level 2, and there are no cumulonimbus clouds and other clouds that can generate thunderstorms. It is far away from various air pressure zones and monsoon circulation, the earth's crust is stable, the texture is hard and easy to fix cables, and it is far from earthquakes..."

"The most important thing is that it is on the equator."

Space elevators must be built on the equator, because the earth rotates the fastest line speed here.

Jiang Yulan felt that her heart was being stalked hard.

Space elevators have always existed only in fantasy, but almost all knowledgeable people believe that if human civilization wants to enter space on a large scale, space elevators are indispensable.

The main body of the space elevator is composed of a cable with a length of at least 36,000 kilometers and a terminal counterweight. One end is buried deep underground and the other end goes straight into space.

This structure causes the entire space elevator cable to rotate around the earth for every time the earth rotates.

Because the space elevator is very long, at its end, the speed at which its counterweight surrounds the earth has exceeded the first cosmic speed or even the second cosmic speed, so it will never fall. Instead, because of its high speed, it always wants to leave the earth.

Between these pulls and pulls, the main cable with a length of more than 36,000 kilometers will be pulled straight.

It's like a person spinning his body and throwing a hammer ball.

Therefore, with the help of this cable that will never fall, people can continuously send various materials from the surface to space.

Before the space elevator was built, the only way for humans to enter space was to use rockets. However, whether it was a one-time rocket or a recyclable rocket, they were limited by two factors: one was limited capacity and the other was too high cost. This made them unable to meet the needs of large-scale entry into space.

The only thing that can be satisfied is the space elevator.

Only when the space elevator is built can it truly open the door to the sea of ​​stars.

I don’t know how many scientific scholars are working day and night on the earth, hoping to realize this dream as soon as possible. But now, the realization of dreams is almost too late, but they cannot be used by mankind.

Not only can it not be used by humans, it will also become a tube that continuously draws blood from the human world.

The experts' tone was also a little heavy.

"I don't know what materials are planned to use to build it. Chailong? Carbon nanotubes?"

The main obstacle for humans to fail to build space elevators is the materials. Although carbon nanotubes are theoretically capable of building space elevators, their development is still in its infancy. At present, they can only produce at most about 0.5 meters, which is still a big gap from demand.

But for the Savior civilization, this should not be a problem.

"Carbon nanotubes are not enough. Or materials that are more advanced than carbon nanotubes may not be considered."

"This is not necessarily a bad thing. At least, it seems that the demands of the Savior's civilization are really just resources, not anything else."

Everyone talked in a depressing voice, and then they lost interest in continuing.

"Let's go. Let's go back."

After figuring out this matter, Jiang Yulan sighed lightly and lost interest in staying here.

Risk Review Committee Resident.

During the days after leaving, the staff members had been in contact with Jiang Yulan, and the movements of the emperor would be sent to her as soon as possible.

In the past few days, the emperor's behavior has not been surprising. If you insist on saying it, it seems to be that it regards "eating" as a habit, and three meals a day are no different from normal people. At the same time, the staff also found that it only eats a food once and will not eat it again next time.

In the staff cafeteria, there are about dozens of dishes, which is enough for it to eat for a while.

In addition, it seems to be very obsessed with playing chess. The previous Go master who ranked first could no longer stand such a long time. He had no trouble playing chess. The people from the Risk Review Committee simply moved the entire World Chess Academy nearby to accompany it.

Time passed quietly, and more than ten days later, the emperor found Jiang Yulan again.

"I found that the same ingredient will have different tastes and flavors when using different treatment techniques. For example, this... eggs, fried, stir-fried, cooked, and matched with different ingredients, the taste will be very different."

Jiang Yulan was stunned for a moment, cursed nonsense in her heart, but a smile appeared on her face and listened carefully.

"You human food is divided according to the method, not the ingredients, right?"

"Uh, there are both."

The emperor nodded slowly, thinking about something.

"I want to taste all the ingredients and all the recipes you humans have, is it OK?"

Jiang Yulan's head instantly turned a thousand thoughts, but in the end, she just said happily: "Of course."

The emperor nodded again and turned away.

Beside Jiang Yulan, a entourage waited for the emperor to walk away before cursing in a low voice: "There are so many things to do. Do you really treat us as servants? Chairman Jiang, why don't you refuse it?"

Jiang Yulan said slowly: "This is a good thing, why should I refuse?"

The entourage was stunned and confused. When he came to his senses, he saw that Jiang Yulan had already walked away.

This is a very important thing. Jiang Yulan felt that it was necessary to report to the decision-maker on this matter. The results of the report were just as she expected.

The decision-maker fully supported her judgment.

"We believe that the savior civilization has a great possibility that it is a group civilization like us humans. In this case, there must be various internal demands of interest. Each individual will have his own ideas, and their views on things are different, and their attitudes towards our human civilization may also be different.

There will be malicious, kind, indifferent, and there will be no such thing.

The savior, the savior who manipulated the robot "Son of Heaven", has undoubtedly shown great interest in the culture of our human civilization. These interests begin with Go and develop in food, and there may be more things that it is interested in in the future. Since it is interested, we have the opportunity to attract it to our human side.

It is necessary to pay attention to not having any fantasy that makes it fall into our human civilization in an all-round way. This is not practical. The more feasible goal is to make it goodwill to our human civilization without violating its own ethnic interests and position, and play a role in the future.

Specifically for our human civilization, it is to ensure that we complete the resource needs of the Savior civilization and will not be destroyed by the Savior civilization after losing its value. This is also our ultimate goal in this crisis.

Chairman Jiang Yulan, this is also the ultimate principle you need to uphold when you contact the emperor.”

Jiang Yulan Zheng pointed at the key point: "I understand. Everything is for survival."

"Yes, everything is for survival. So far, the 'Son of Heaven' - we might as well call the savior civilization 'human' who manipulates this robot behind the scenes, also known as the savior, the value to us has been greatly improved. Chairman Jiang Yulan, I will send another team of experts including psychologists, sociologists, interstellar biologists, behaviorists, etc. to help you. Remember to improve its favorable impression of our human civilization as much as possible."

"yes."

After the report, Jiang Yulan left and rushed to the committee's headquarters again.

Her heart has been heavy.

Everything is for survival, both simple and heavy.

This is the consensus reached by the decision-makers, the ultimate goal of all mankind, and the highest guiding principle for the face of this crisis.

What is conducive to the survival of mankind, no matter what it is, we must do. Honor, morality, ideals, beliefs, laws, everything that humans thought was more important than Mount Tai, must make way for this goal.

"Even if you are a slave or even if you are insulted by countless people, what is it to be in front of the two words of survival?"

...

At this moment, a helicopter rumbled over some undulating mountainous land and finally landed on a flat ground where weeds and gravel were mixed.

Major General Luo Haiyun, chief scientist and chief engineer of the World Military Weapons Institute, got off the helicopter, stood here, looking around, looking calm.

He didn't know where this was. He just judged by the slightly moist air, vegetation, and temperature. This place was probably closer to the equator.

A soldier said seriously: "Major General Luo Haiyun, are you sure you want to go to Phoenix No. 1 base?"

Luo Haiyun nodded slightly.

"For the second question, do you know that once you enter, you may not be able to leave in this life?"

"I know."

"The third inquiry, note that this is the last inquiry. Major General Luo Haiyun, are you aware that Phoenix No. 1 base cannot convey any information to the outside world. Once you enter, you will be isolated from the world?"

"I know."

"salute!"
Chapter completed!
