I am really a time traveler

Chapter 423 Carbon Nanotubes (page 12)

"what?"

Lin Yicheng came to the front, and then picked up the material that the other party had just taken out of the bag, which looked like a long and thin object.

Looking at the material carefully, it seems to be slightly transparent overall.

"Are these carbon nanotubes?"

Lin Yicheng lowered his head and looked carefully, and then recognized the thing. Even though he was a little surprised, he turned his head to look at Qi Mengfei beside him.

"Has this thing been developed?"

Carbon nanotubes are something that has been decided to be produced a long time ago.

The main function of this thing is naturally to be used as a cable for the space elevator.

Carbon nanotubes are a type of nanomaterial with extremely strong endurance and tensile strength.

With this thing, it can withstand the tension between the cables and fix the rope between the space station and the earth.

And this is only the cost of transporting it to space. If it is to be sent to the moon, the cost will need to be increased nearly ten times.

"Now that these things are out, can we start planning for the future?"

In fact, they still have a lot of things they want to transport to the moon, because the transportation is too troublesome, and every time the rocket lifts off, the things on it are filled to the brim.

However, in order to take into account that there may be people during transportation, it is still necessary to add some systems inside to avoid overloading of people inside.

Therefore, there are many things that were originally on the list, but had to be pushed back one row after another.

As for the elevator car, it's even simpler.

"Well, let's get started. Build the space elevator as soon as possible. In the future, we can also start to enter space. By then, we can also start to mine the resources in space."

In the future, transportation costs between the ground and space will be greatly reduced.

Otherwise, if it is a spaceship or something, or a space base or something, the weight of everything transported up there is not light.

Many of these things need to be installed on it. They will be used to collect some data in the future, which is very important.

However, these technologies are not a problem for them.

By then, it will probably be possible to build a steel mill, construction plant, forging plant and the like in space.

But now, it seems that we can only wait for the space elevator to come out.

Qi Mengfei saw Lin Yicheng looking so happy and immediately asked.

Isn't it a waste of time and cost to wait until you're done exercising before sending it to space?

For fifty or sixty yuan, you can send a pound of stuff into space. This is a very good deal!

In this way, if you want to build some spaceships in space in the future, the cost can be reduced a lot.

However, I didn't tell them what to do with the land before, and the people above didn't ask any more questions.

Otherwise, the cost of transportation would still be more than 150,000 yuan per catty.

Lin Yicheng nodded repeatedly when he heard this.

"The resources on earth cannot meet our future needs."

Just the cost of sending it up was enough for them to spend a lot of money.

There is no problem at all with the materials.

The space elevator is still very important right now. Otherwise, every material transportation between the earth and the moon would be too troublesome and too expensive.

People here have calculated that once the space elevator comes out, it will cost about fifty or sixty to send a pound of supplies into space.

When Lin Yicheng heard this, he nodded very calmly and responded.

As long as Lin Yicheng's confirmation is obtained, the space elevator project can begin.

So in general, the biggest problem with the space elevator has been solved, and now we can start taking action.

Qi Mengfei saw the joy on Lin Yicheng's face and immediately said with a smile.

"Then if there is no problem, we will start production and start this project next?"

But if the space elevator comes out, the cost per kilogram will probably only be tens of dollars per kilogram.

After all, those ores can't always be transported to the ground for exercise.

Although the three companies are very profitable, in the field of space, spending money is a bottomless pit. Basically, it is a plan to save a little.

"Not long after it was produced, we have conducted tests and have determined that the carbon nanotubes can withstand the endurance of the space elevator and fully meet the conditions for use."

At that time, as long as the space station is kept at the same speed as the earth's rotation, the space station will be relatively stationary.

In this way, every time materials are transported, the cost cannot be ignored.

Qi Mengfei didn't hesitate when he heard the words, and directly agreed, ready to start construction soon.

Once this thing comes out, the main problem of the space elevator will be solved.

As for the construction of other ground stations and space stations, these are minor problems.

I have already talked with the people above about the land they want here.

Lin Yicheng thought about these data in his mind, and then his face showed a hint of joy.

For now, the cost of transporting materials from the ground to space is basically about 150,000 per kilogram. This is because Lin Yicheng's technology is developing rapidly, and some engines can be reused and are not disposable. reason.

Probably because for them, the things done by companies like Xingyu are usually kept strictly confidential.

The other party just wants a piece of land now, it's no big deal, just give it.

As for what to do in the future, you will know it when the time comes. There is no need to ask clearly now.

In addition to the three companies on their side, they also joined forces to replace their equipment.

They were promised replacement equipment before, but they were kept waiting for a long time.

So far, individual soldier equipment and unmanned aerial vehicle systems have all received good responses, and it can be seen that the other party likes them very much.

This situation is the best. If the other party likes this kind of equipment, they will be able to cooperate more in the future.

Once they really get to space, I guess the other party will purchase Star Destroyers or something like that from them.

However, combat ships such as Star Destroyers are not so easy to build. It takes a long time to build one, and it consumes a lot of various resources.

In addition, there are many various factories that require various supporting facilities, and existing factories need to be upgraded.

At that time, they can touch the Star Destroyer and see if it can be built.

Lin Yicheng is also very clear about the situation here.

The best way at that time is to build it directly in space, but a large factory needs to be built in space to be able to produce such a space battleship.
