Chapter 260: Sixth-generation fighter
Zhang Wen immediately flew to the Moon, and after loading all the carbon nanotubes.
He immediately returned to the space station and placed all the carbon nanotubes on the space station.
During this time, Zhang Wen also specially manufactured a geostationary satellite.
It would always maintain a vertical posture with the space elevator base on Earth.
Now he just needed to put the carbon nanotubes on this satellite.
And then let them down.
Next, he just needed to connect it to the base.
And install the movement device, and this space elevator would be officially completed.
Zhang Wen excitedly notified the preparation personnel on Earth.
After receiving a reply.
It was scheduled for tomorrow noon, when the wind was at its calmest.
Zhang Wen could only make do for one night at the Tianguong Kongjianzhan.
The next day, Zhang Wen woke up early.
And headed to the geostationary satellite.
After putting on his spacesuit and connecting the safety device.
Zhang Wen walked out of the cabin with a group of geostationary satellite astronauts and connected the carbon nanotubes one by one.
And let them down.
And the staff on Earth were waiting.
Waiting for the carbon nanotubes to be lowered.
To connect the vertical carbon nanotubes to the base.
And add the transport capsule.
This step would be considered done.
Although it sounds simple.
But in reality, these things lasted for a full day.
After everyone persisted in completing it.
Zhang Wen let the people below run an empty car first.
To confirm there were no problems.
Afterwards, Zhang Wen let all the astronauts on the geostationary satellite come to the Kunpeng.
And immediately sent a notification to the ground.
After the ground received the notification.
They immediately opened the transport capsule.
They saw the rope connecting the transport capsule tighten instantly.
The transport capsule was immediately pulled up, rising, rising, rising continuously.
Zhang Wen and the astronauts, and the staff on the ground.
All held their breath watching the transport capsule.
Fearing even the slightest accident.
Fortunately.
The transport capsule didn't have any accidents.
In the geostationary satellite, the automatic device was also enough to complete most of the work.
Including acceleration, deceleration, and other tasks.
Afterwards, Zhang Wen and the astronauts saw the transport capsule being hoisted up from the rope that was hung down.
The entire Kunpeng suddenly erupted in warm applause.
Zhang Wen hurriedly went up to the satellite to take a look.
He found that except for the power consumption being a bit high.
Other losses were actually negligible.
This made Zhang Wen breathe a long sigh of relief.
After all, electricity is simply not worth mentioning in the eyes of current Dongda.
Zhang Wen hurriedly told Director Yang the good news of this success.
And Director Yang immediately asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hold a press conference.
The spokesperson was naturally an old acquaintance, Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan immediately invited media from all over the world.
At the scheduled time.
Qin Xuan appeared in the conference hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on time.
He looked at the crowd of reporters in front of him.
Coughed.
"Today, Dongda wants to announce a piece of good news to the people of the world."
"I suppose various countries around the world are very confused."
"What is Dongda doing on a small island located at the equator?"
"I will now answer everyone's confusion."
"However, I must warn everyone first."
"That small island, including the airspace above it, is Dongda's territory."
"Our South Sea Fleet is stationed there, and at the same time, a part of the Air Force is also stationed there."
"This small island, including all the airspace above it, once invaded by enemies."
"Dongda will directly launch a nuclear strike."
"That's right, it's a direct nuclear strike against that country."
"If you don't believe it, you can try it, don't say I didn't warn you."
Qin Xuan's words directly caused the reporters below to take crazy photos.
After all, this is Dongda.
Dongda, which has never made harsh remarks on the international stage.
Now it's starting with a nuclear threat?
Qin Xuan saw that the atmosphere was about right.
"I will announce another piece of good news to everyone here."
"It is good news that belongs to all of humanity."
"On this small island, Dongda has completed the construction of a space elevator."
"That's right, everyone, it's just as you thought."
Qin Xuan directly played the video of the unladen trial run.
And the perspective of the geostationary satellite.
The reporters below let out bursts of "wow" sounds.
"Next, Dongda will invest in Mars exploration."
"We will manufacture spaceships in space, and build a Mars base!"
"Our journey is the sea of stars!"
After Qin Xuan finished speaking, he turned and walked off the stage.
And the reporters below started writing furiously.
Fearing that they would be a second late.
Other media would get the news first.
Xiao Ri Zi.
"Dongda is actually going to explore Mars and build a colonial base!"
Eagle Country.
"Dongda takes the lead in manufacturing a space elevator, is Eagle Country's technological hegemony still there?"
"Under the leadership of President Te Mei Pu, Eagle Country is losing every day."
Some people even ran specifically to the press conference of Ma Sai Ke.
Just as Ma Sai Ke was passionately talking about TSL's new car.
Suddenly a reporter stood up and asked.
"Mr. Ma Sai Ke!"
"As far as I know, Dongda has now developed a space elevator, and their cost of sending things to space is dozens of times lower than SPX's rockets."
"Their next step will be to explore Mars."
"So what about your Mars plan?"
"When do you plan to start?"
Ma Sai Ke on the stage broke down as soon as he heard this.
"Where is security?"
"Security!"
"Kick this reporter out for me!"
"TSL doesn't welcome him!"
And the reporter looked at the security guards with excitement.
He had a premonition.
He was going to be famous.
Being kicked out by Eagle Country's richest man, Ma Sai Ke, after breaking down.
This is simply an excellent news headline.
The security guards could only helplessly come up to persuade him.
And the reporter directly put his arm on their shoulders.
Pretending to be dragged out.
And Ma Sai Ke on the stage finally reacted.
Oh no, this was aimed at me.
Now he already regretted it.
But now nothing he does can make up for it.
After the press conference.
TSL and SPX's stock prices plummeted.
After all, Ma Sai Ke relied on bragging to stabilize SPX's stock price in the first place.
And on Dongda's side.
Zhang Wen was sketching blueprints for a brand-new warship on paper.
That's right.
The Kunpeng is too small.
It can only be used for short trips like Earth-Moon.
If it's Earth and Mars.
The Kunpeng is too small.
With such a long round-trip time.
Transporting only a little bit.
It's really not cost-effective.
"It is a brand-new warship."
"It will be the strongest existence in the sky."
"It will also be a sixth-generation fighter."
Zhang Wen said while sketching.
"It should possess true endless energy."
Zhang Wen wrote nuclear fusion reactor on the paper.
"It should possess the world's most powerful weapon."
Zhang Wen placed a cannon on its head.
Powered by a nuclear fusion reactor, triggering nuclear fusion directly at the muzzle, and then firing it out.
"It should possess the strongest self-defense weapons."
Zhang Wen dotted the entire body of the warship with dense little dots, which represented laser defense weapons.
"It should possess the functions of a colony ship."
Zhang Wen designed its body to be extremely huge, even comparable to the massive body of a prefecture-level city.
Only by building it in space.
Is it possible to succeed.
"If there is anti-gravity technology in the future."
"That would be truly perfect."
"However."
"It's still pretty good."
"What should I call it?"
Zhang Wen thought. ===== CHAPTER 261 =====
"What should I call it?"
Zhang Wen thought to himself.
