Deng Zigang replied: "The fastest speed can reach 650 kilometers per hour."

Luo Sheng withdrew his gaze and nodded. This speed cannot be considered fast or slow. From the base of the Earth's Sky Tower to the "Piloter 2" orbital space station, it can be reached in less than an hour, and it is soon.

However, the two places arrived at the "Pioneer 1" synchronous orbital space station from the surface, and the two places were separated by 36,000 kilometers apart. They had to travel more than 55 hours at a speed of 650 kilometers per hour, and one trip was more than 110 hours, which was nearly four and a half days.

Deng Zigang added: "High-temperature superconducting maglev technology is expected to further speed up. The next research direction is to speed up to speeds above 1,000 kilometers per hour."

While the two were chatting, the shuttle vehicle successfully climbed to the top of the mountain, and there were already staff waiting for a long time.

The people at the foot of the mountain breathed a sigh of relief after learning that they had successfully reached the top.

Luo Sheng was very satisfied with the breakthrough in his achievements here. He stayed at the South Peak of Taihua Mountain for about two hours, and then left here after further understanding the progress of relevant technologies.

I have no time to enjoy the magnificent scenery of Taihua Mountain.

...

Luo Sheng went to the Taihua Mountain South Peak High Temperature Superconducting Maglev Technology Experimental Research Center for investigation and also reported it to the public through media organizations. The scenes of him and Deng Zigang's trial of the shuttle vehicle to the top of the Taihua Mountain South Peak were also made public.

There is no doubt that this is to let the world see the reliability of the success of this technology, and to tell the world that the ladder project is getting closer and closer as the days pass by.

The implication is that don’t panic, we can win!

The ladder project is indeed a series of exciting good news that has been spreading one after another. Today, the news came out, and SF directly rose to the top, and continued to blow up the dog heads of the bears.

The total nominal value has reached the 400 trillion yuan integer mark, about 122 trillion US dollars, exceeding the current global stock market's total market value of 121 trillion US dollars, creating jaw-dropping mythological data.

In a sense, the ladder project has developed along the way and has become a common carrier of the destiny of mankind.

This ladder has really become the hope of the whole village, and it is absolutely impossible.

Luo Sheng is also very clear about this, so the good news must be released to maintain this fantastic "price-dream rate" data.

Anyway, today we will either ascend to heaven together or ascend to heaven together.

...

Technology Complex Building.

At this moment, Luo Sheng stood in front of the high-definition giant screen on the wall of his private office, and the screen showed an equal-scale simulation image of the space ladder.

The next key phase of the ladder is the connection between the orbital space station and the cable from the ground tower base. At present, the space factory of the "Pioneer 2" space station is "assembling" the rope.

The process is to send the rope from top to bottom from space to the ground to connect with the tower base. During this period, a special lander is connected to the rope for precise placement at a fixed point. The height of the rope is placed in synchronization with the lander.

The first cable is a "sub-rope", and then the most core "maternal rope" is placed along the track of the "sub-rope".

When the first "sub-rope" cable is successfully connected to the ground tower base, it is equivalent to 60% success, and the subsequent "maternal rope" cable is equivalent to more than 85% success.

There are two main cables of the ladder, forming a parallel plane track. The two sides and two tracks allow the shuttle vehicle to rise and fall in one way without affecting each other.

After the first main cable is put into place, the second cable will be much easier, which is basically a natural thing.

There will be a bracket made of characteristic new materials between the two main cables to keep the cable tracks parallel. Such a bracket will have one every 1.5 kilometers of spacing. From a distance, it is a ladder to reach the sky, and the name of the ladder also comes from this.

There are twenty-four branch tracks on the ground tower base. The sky-sky shuttle vehicle enters the corresponding branch track from the main track into the sky-sky base that is over a thousand meters high. Similarly, the sky-sky shuttle vehicle starting from the ground will also start along the branch track and enter the main track and go straight to space. The entire process is coordinated and allocated by artificial intelligence.

When the shuttle vehicle climbs the sky along the main orbit and enters outer space for more than 400 kilometers, multiple fork branches will be generated at this distance. The shuttle vehicle leaves the main orbit and goes directly to the major branch sites above the "Piloter 2" space station through the branch.

The main orbit did not stop at the "Piloter 2" space station, but would extend all the way to the "Piloter 1" space station on the 36,000-kilometer synchronous track. This is a long journey.

The distance from the ground to the "Piloter 2" space station is less than an hour to reach it, and the "Piloter 1" space station on the synchronous orbit means that there is still nearly 55 hours of journey, more than two days.

It is worth mentioning that the popularity of the "Pioneer 1" space station will definitely be far less than that of the "Pioneer 2".

Once the cable of the ladder is set up, it will be subjected to two forces, one is the gravity from the ground, and the other is the centrifugal force pulled into space by the synchronous orbit. The cable must be sufficient to carry this tensile force without breaking. The purpose of the "Piloter 1" space station is to stabilize the entire ladder system.

With the "Pioneer 1" space station, the balance can be achieved on a synchronous orbit, ensuring that the ladder will not be dragged down by gravity.

Luo Sheng closed the simulated image of the space ladder.

Starting this year, the supplies from the "Pioneer 1" space station will be sent to space, relying on the existing No. 2 space station to enter the modular assembly core skeleton, and then use its own power system to berth into synchronous orbit.

The project progressed faster than the team expected, thanks to the speed of recovery of the domestic economy and industry beyond expectations. At the same time, Luo Sheng also underestimated the contribution and influence of the space ladder to the entire industry.

The two complement each other, and it is no exaggeration to say that the current domestic-domestic global economy recovered in the post-solar storm era, and more than 80% of it revolves around serving the sky ladder, which is no exaggeration to call the power of the country's industrial power.

This is a bit like after the United States announced its entry into the war during World War II, the domestic military industry ushered in full force and ushered in a booming development. The aircraft carriers were launched at a rate of one in a year, which was a tyrant like a tragedy.

The space ladder also has the same effect, but the difference is that it is not driven by war, but because of a cosmic natural disaster, which accelerates the speed of the ladder.

The most typical example is the photovoltaic industry, because the space ladder has forced the already surplus photovoltaic industry to achieve a serious shortage of production capacity.

There are countless examples of this.

There is no doubt that the ladder project has become the absolute main force in driving economic recovery by the "new infrastructure" in the post-Solar Storm era.

"Brother Luo, it's time to set off for your meeting with the city leaders, otherwise you will be late." Lin Ya entered the office to remind him.

"Then let's go." Luo Sheng nodded.

Although the ladder project is certainly the most important project, it is still a while since the ladder was opened to traffic. A series of emerging technologies derived from the ladder project can still shine in other fields. This is also another great contribution of the ladder project to the entire mankind.

For example, high-temperature superconducting maglev technology has great significance for reshaping urban transportation in the post-solar storm era. Luo Sheng decided to be a pusher, just to break it and then establish it.
