Chapter 694: Pattern
From the perspective of space, the synchronous orbit 35,000 kilometers away looks down at the Earth below.
At a distance dozens of times higher than the altitude of normal satellites, the "Nantianmen" seems to be embedded in the background starry sky.
The connecting cable followed suit and the space elevator, which also maintained a deceleration of 0.2G, slowly approached, finally came to a complete stop, and then slowly completed the connection with the 'Nantianmen'!

As the docking between the cargo hold and the 'Nantianmen' was completed, the airtightness of the connection was completely locked, and then an opening appeared at the top of the elevator.
"This is your first time in a weightless environment, so please be careful not to bump into anything and don't use too much force. There are handrails and straps on the side to ensure balance. Next, the robot will complete the unloading, and we can take a look inside the Nantianmen..."
All unloading is done by robots, which are extremely efficient in the space environment and much faster than on the ground.
Standing in this synchronous orbit and looking down at the earth tens of thousands of kilometers away, the sense of impact made this group of people who had never been to space feel an indescribable shock.
Live broadcast, shoot videos, take photos, and check in like crazy!
With Umbrella's satellite acting as a relay, the signal here was not affected.
How many people have been to space in history?
In the past, the most number of people sent at a time was 8, and most of the time it was not even this number. However, this time, two hundred people were sent in one go.
Most people have a yearning for the starry sky. Seeing so many people taking pictures under the starry sky really makes many people around the world express envy.
NASA also began to send congratulations
"Congratulations to Umbrella for creating another miracle. This is a milestone in the history of human aviation and is worthy of being recorded in history! With a space elevator, there are endless possibilities for exploring the starry sky! I look forward to the opportunity to cooperate with you."
If it was before Da Piaoliang was beaten, NASA's attitude would probably have been even tougher, and there might have been some threatening and coercive words.
But now he is full of praise, looking like a dog licking his boots as if he wants to seek cooperation.
"That special meteorite is still accelerating, and launching a probe is imminent , so our company is willing to cooperate with all parties. We will send the launch specifications and parameters of Nantianmen to major aviation departments. If you want to use Nantianmen for space launch missions, you can apply in advance and pay the relevant fees. We only accept silver or credit points...
"Of course, if the silver reserves or credit points are not enough, you can help us produce some peripheral facilities to complete the exchange of credit points. Nantianmen is still in the process of expansion. Our company is preparing to complete the construction of the space factory. Once completed, many future equipment can be manufactured by Nantianmen itself, and some asteroid mineral mining can be carried out. At present, the production capacity demand for related modules is relatively high."
There are still limits to the processes that can be fully deployed to produce qualified aviation-specification materials. Since Umbrella wants to speed up orbital engineering construction, it can naturally use launch assistance in exchange for some module production capacity.
In fact, with Umbrella's current power, it doesn't matter if it eats all by itself, just eat it!
But Umbrella still behaved the same as before and did not act arrogantly just because it suppressed the old overlord.
Even the space elevator is willing to cooperate and share. This kind of courage and magnanimity is really a world of difference compared to the petty-minded Da Piaoliang in the past.
Even many of the senior executives who had made the decision at the beginning had the urge to slap themselves in the mouth.
People are willing to share the space elevator anyway, why are you showing off now?
Now, they are showing off their power and strength by launching the White House Alliance...
Even ordinary tourists are willing to be brought up for a visit without affecting transportation. You can imagine Umbrella's vision and confidence!
Don’t worry about others learning technology, nor worry about any terrorist attacks or sabotage!
This is Umbrella’s confidence!
…
After Umbrella promised to make Nantianmen a launch pad and sent out various parameters and drawings.
Several parties around the world that were preparing to launch unmanned probes to the asteroid also began to quickly make some modifications to their designs.
Are you kidding? We already have something as convenient as a space elevator. You'd be crazy to continue designing a rocket and fly there, which is a thankless task!
Rocket technology will not be lost and will be sealed just in case, but some normal launches do need to consider the issue of space elevators.
It can be said that with the space elevator, the "unmanned probe" that originally required careful consideration of quality can be directly evolved into a large manned spacecraft!
The original plan for a ground-penetrating nuclear bomb also has great improvements and possibilities.
As long as the components are transported to Nantianmen with the help of a space elevator and then assembled in space, a large number of large items can be easily sent out...
Of course, the prerequisite is that all major components must be modified according to the parameters and format sent by Umbrella.
In fact, Umbrella had also released some parameters for the mass projector before, but that thing was something only Umbrella itself could do, so it was as good as nothing.
It’s different now. Even ordinary people without training, or even elderly people like Fate, can easily go into space. The demand for materials has undoubtedly been greatly reduced.
What needs to be noted is that the space elevator should be divided into modules according to its carrying capacity and the format of its placement.
At the same time, the base needs to be connected with the launch platform of Nantianmen.
In addition, Umbrella also issued some restrictive clauses regarding flammable and explosive items and nuclear warheads.
Everything that is launched must be reviewed and audited by Umbrella.
Only after approval can it be shipped to Penglai...
In the past, this move might have caused some minor troubles.
After all, it involves something as sensitive as a nuclear bomb, and the technologies that can be used in the aerospace field must be cutting-edge technologies, so the advancement of technology and confidentiality must be considered.
But now that Umbrella has made this request again, no one has raised any objection.
Haha, keep it a secret!
For now, at least in the aerospace and nuclear fields, Umbrella is far ahead!
Relying on magical hegemony, he can do whatever he wants !
Now think back to those three mechas, they can really make all kinds of veteran experts eat keyboards.
In this case, Wang Yi can naturally get some corresponding benefits.
No matter how large his technical team is or how solid his technology is, in essence, he still relies mainly on the convenience of magic and some enhancements to the materials.
Wang Yi actually really values the technologies accumulated by various parties over the years. This can greatly enhance his own knowledge accumulation and even accelerate the next stage of self-transformation.
"All parties have sent in relevant cooperation applications. In addition to the original parties, South Korea, Japan and many small countries have also applied to conduct research on some space topics."
Lin Shiqin summarized the recent integrated news, while Wang Yi said with complete indifference:
"Let's arrange them in order. Just keep the expansion efficiency of Nantianmen high. The rest doesn't matter. Since Nantianmen is already built, there should be Tianting as well."
Wang Yi was reading a paper with great interest, then he thought of something and said
“How many immersive helmets are there in closed beta?”
"Three thousand units. It's still a bit slow for the current mass production technology. We are trying to find ways to improve it. Considering the demon-rich environment of the Abyss, it would be more efficient to build helmets there."
"Okay, just talk to Enzo directly. Three thousand units are enough for the initial test. Send them out. Leave a few for Qin Xiang, and you can also send some to the World Company for friendly relations."
"clear!"
