At the same time, as the people in Jiuquan Center looked forward to the simulation picture in front of them, they were looking forward to it.
As the cable began to reach a height of 20,000 kilometers, the originally light cable suddenly began to become vertical as it was dragged by gravity.
It was like a giant dragon suddenly found its prey.
Under the whistling movement, the magnesium alloy cable, which was tens of thousands of kilometers long, immediately began to carry a burst of dynamic acceleration, and began to violently rush towards the direction of the earth.
At this moment, in the universe where the temperature has dropped, the outer periphery of the cable actually started to gradually become red because of the intense friction caused by the rapid fall.
The babbling sound continued to sound, and the temperature of the rope gradually increased rapidly.
“Reported that a rapid increase in the temperature of the rope was detected.”
At the Jiuquan Command Center, everyone breathed a sigh of relief after the cable entered the gravitational layer to maintain stability.
Therefore, after hearing the report sent back by the monitor that the rope was heating up, everyone was subconsciously stunned.
Immediately afterwards, the current person in charge of the command center quickly walked towards the microphone:
“What’s going on, it hasn’t reached the preset heating height of the cable yet, why is the temperature of the cable rising now!”
“I don’t know, after an urgent discussion by the expert group, it was believed that the high temperature was caused by friction in the space environment!”
Listening to the answers given by the staff below, the commander immediately looked at the big screen and asked quickly:
“What is the temperature now? Does it have any effect on the falling trajectory of the rope!”
“The report, after analysis, shows that the temperature is now close to 600 degrees Celsius, and it is still rising rapidly. Fortunately, because of the rope itself and the external flame-retardant materials, the rope just heats up and does not burn!”
“…”
Flame retardant material!
Fortunately, there is a thick layer of flame-retardant material on the outside of the cable!
At this moment, upon hearing the reply without any problem, several persons in charge of the command center had already sweated out of fright!
Fortunately, thanks to such a problem at the time, a double insurance came to coat the outside of the cable with a flame-retardant material.
As long as there is no problem with the falling trajectory of the cable, there is hope for everything.
But at this moment, everyone actually ignored a problem.
High temperature caused by friction?
The material of the cable is high-temperature magnesium alloy, so the high temperature will soar?
What is the true temperature outside the cable now?
Although the flame-retardant material has played a role, this material is in the predetermined plan, but it will not start to protect the existence of the cable until the cable enters the atmosphere.
The current altitude is still about 20,000 kilometers.
The distance of 5000 kilometers close to the ground, there are still a full 10,000 kilometers.
How much can the flame-retardant material still play a role as it rubs into the atmosphere? How much is left?
All of this, when everyone is now concerned about the descent of the cable.
It was also the first time that among the people who carried out this great project, only a small number of experts began to notice this problem.
As the cable fell rapidly in space, it began to gradually turn red at the same time.
As the cable continues to approach the surface of the earth.
Soon, all major observatories around the world began to be able to spy on Tianyan.
At this moment, in England, the ministers are watching the live broadcast of China in the same way as the United States.
When everyone was sighing about China’s space technology, the director of the Royal Space Agency rushed directly into the room of Buckingham Palace.
“Madam, Galileo of the European Union has captured the cable picture of China’s ‘Space Elevator’!!”
With a bang, everyone was shocked as the voice of the director of the spaceflight fell.
The lady in the middle of the crowd even ignored her age, and pointed anxiously at the display on the other side and said:
“Quick, quick, broadcast the picture quickly, let’s see the situation of that vine!”
“Yes!”
Following the instructions of the Director of Aerospace, in the blink of an eye, the original standby TV screen began to turn blue.
But looking at the already blue and somewhat dim picture, everyone watched for a long time, and finally slowly found the trace floating in the distance.
Looking at the vague Heavenly Foreign Minister, a minister couldn’t help but start teasing.
“The black shadow of this wandering is the vine? China is so funny. The whole country has sent such a thing to the sky. Isn’t this just flying a kite?”
“In fact, as long as we in England don’t care about financial resources, we can also finish…”
As he was talking, as the focus of the screen became larger, the ridiculous minister suddenly froze in place.
1,000 times, 10,000 times, 50,000 times.
With the promotion of the data on the upper left of the lens, a behemoth gradually showed the whole picture, and the pupils that everyone watched at this time also shrank.
This, this is the true appearance of Tongtian Vine!
What I saw at this moment was already on the sky with a few stars, a black ribbon comparable to a dragon, slowly swimming in the universe behind it.
But his top is like a fiery red javelin straight into the earth!
When everyone was extremely quiet, a white beard expert suddenly exclaimed:
“Lunatic, it’s a bunch of lunatics.”
“Chinese people, how do they catch this vine!”
“…”
Hearing the expert’s exclamation, everyone immediately looked over:
“Expert Phils, what do you think?”
Listening to people’s suspicions, the experts who watched the picture at this moment were already crazy:
“What’s your opinion? It’s too fast, this unprecedented outer cable, it’s falling too fast!”
“Now that the altitude is still more than 10,000 kilometers in outer space, there is such a falling speed? Look at the outside of the cable, it is already red!”
“Crazy guys, the Chinese people are really crazy guys. They actually used this simple and rude way to send the cable into space and let it fall freely.”
“Thirty thousand kilometers, whether it is China or people who move mountains and reclaim the sea, they simply can’t think of what the height of thirty thousand kilometers represents!”
“With this impact, the Chinese still want to catch it?”
“It’s impossible for the Chinese to catch it!”
“…”
At this moment, listening to the roar of the experts, everyone did not understand the data inside.
But looking at the magnificent scene in front of them, everyone was dumbfounded.
Shock.
Shocked.
At the same time, not only England, but all countries with satellite technology have set their sights on the space above China.
As the full picture of the vine began to enter the eyes of high-level countries, all countries are now shocked by China’s “basic exercise”.
All countries are shaking and wondering now.
China, how will they deal with the vines that have returned from outside the sky?
Could it be said that China has mastered the technology beyond the world, so they will confidently let the 30,000-kilometer vines fall arbitrarily?
At this time, NASA in the United States.
The Secretary of State Wu Qing who came with the task looked at the numerous experts, her face was already black and purple:
“Experts, now the GPS has transmitted back the picture of China Tonka, please immediately analyze whether China can be successful…”
The invited experts, looking at the vines in the picture, spoke in succession:
“There is no way to calculate, because calculating the situation of the vines is meaningless, how will China eventually catch the vines. This is the most important thing.”
“That’s right, we have already calculated the falling speed of the tongtian vine. After all the cables enter the gravitational layer, there will be a batch of acceleration entering. We are sure that the tongtian vine will reach a terrifying speed!”
“According to the current situation, it has fallen at this speed, and I am also curious how the Chinese are going to catch it!”
“…”
In the discussion, an old expert with white beard and hair looked at the screen and suddenly raised his head:
“No, they may succeed in capturing the vine.”
What?
Listening to the words of this old expert, everyone looked at each other in shock.
U.S. Secretary of State Wu Qing stepped forward and asked breathlessly:
“Professor Henry, what do you think?”
The old man expert named Henry just wrote a few numbers indifferently, then raised his head:
“Look, after calculations, I think that after the 30,000-kilometer cable hits the ground, the falling inertia suddenly disappears, and the traction force of the universe is offset, there should be a window period of a few seconds, although the time is very short. But at this moment, the rope can be towed manually.”
“China and Yishan Reclamation, they only need to fix the cable to a strong enough fixture within these few seconds, then they can complete the capture mission…”
“But if this opportunity is lost, I am afraid China’s plan this time will fall short.”
“…”
As the old expert’s voice fell, at this moment, everyone looked at each other in shock.
What?
Such a huge project.
In the end, you have to bet in such a few seconds?
China, Yishan Reclamation Group, how could they be so crazy?
Is this possible?
And just when everyone was in shock.
The cable in the sky still hasn’t stopped.
The current altitude is 15,000 kilometers.
The moment of global attention is coming soon.
