Chapter 51 Young, so nice

Li Zhendong was surprised, but looking at Zhang Yuan's face, he probably wasn't talking nonsense.

Moreover, working on projects with professors in college sounds much more reliable than his "game".

Inexplicably, Li Zhendong wanted to defect to the other party.

However, he couldn't even lose face!

He said again: "Where are the thesis? Have you considered it? I plan to take a postgraduate entrance examination on the spaceship. Undergraduates like us may be at the bottom of society, which is very miserable."

"...I should pass the grade point and can pass the graduate exam, but I don't have a particularly good paper. Where can I get a good paper for undergraduates... It's so annoying! My dad is too lazy to guide me!"

Zhang Yuan scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

If his paper was successfully published in Modern Science, as long as the written test scores were acceptable, generally speaking, there would definitely be a teacher asking him.

It is good for ordinary university professors to publish such an area journal of the level of Modern Science.

"Have you thought about what major to study for a graduate student?" Zhang Yuan felt a little embarrassed. "I have submitted a paper to "Modern Science". If I can publish it, I should be able to add some interview points."

"What, "Modern Science", you?" Li Zhendong was stunned again, and could not react for a while.

Just as the two were chatting, there were bursts of happy screams from the girl next door.

"sun!"

"What a beautiful sun!"

It was the sun rising from the horizon.

Witnessing the sun at an altitude of hundreds of kilometers will find it becoming extremely bright.

The position of the sun becomes very accurate, without any halo, emitting a dazzling and domineering white light.

If there is no radiation-proof material blocking, this amount of solar radiation can easily cause sunburn people, and even damage the DNA of human cells, causing permanent damage.

Because of this, human astronauts in the old era were not allowed to go to heaven before giving birth. However, with the generations of improvements in radiation-proof materials, there is no such regulation.

There are still a few dark clouds below that are bursting with lightning, flashing like blooming dianthus. Sometimes you can see lightning from different clouds in five or six places, illuminating the entire cloud.

These scenery are unseen on the ground.

The girls screamed excitedly: "These clouds are so small, they are different from what you see on the plane!"

"It must be different, the plane is only a few thousand meters high..."

“A little like a cotton ball explodes!”

"If we really fall from this height, we will become a ball of fire, like a meteor. We will burn to death, not fall to death!" A boy intimidated very badly, "Can you imagine a scene that turns into coke?"

"ah!"

The chirping and various panic screams made Zhang Yuan laugh involuntarily.

Maybe, he felt the same way when he took the space elevator for the first time.

In the next few hours, with the sharp increase in height, the entire Eastern Hemisphere can be seen.

The snow in the Himalayas is vast and desolate; the reddish-brown vortex above the Cavere Desert carries a kind of primitive mystery; the gods from the Southeast Asian archipelago shine like emeralds...

Very exciting, really exciting!

Looking down at the entire earth, there is a sense of boldness that "the world is in my hands".

The vast earth really floats quietly in the universe like in the photo.

The earth is really round and visible to the naked eye.

The current height is 600 kilometers.

According to a scientific survey, at this height, more than 90% of people will have an unparalleled sense of worship for natural science, the motherland and space elevators.

The earth is big, too big!

Even the largest building of human beings, the Octagon, is as trivial as an ant.

But the little human, from this angle, can easily see every outline of the earth!

This strong contrast has produced another visual impact. Looking down like a god made everyone feel a strange pride, and the whole world has been trampled under their feet.

Human beings have actually developed to this level. The Tower of Babylon leading to the boundless sky, and the incomparable power of fighting against nature is really... incredible!

What is global travel compared to space travel?

Hearing the exclamation of the passengers, Zhang Yuan sighed: "It's so good to be young."

Li Zhendong nodded in agreement: "  too-young,too-native."

The girls next door were still chirping, extremely excited. They were looking for well-known buildings and natural landscapes on the surface.

“It should be Donghua City there…”

"Where—the imperial capital?"

"That mountain is Mount Everest?"

"No, it should be Nangabawa Peak."

"That should be Wanwan Island..."

Unfortunately, the Great Wall, one of the seven wonders in the world, cannot be distinguished with the naked eye. Everyone thinks it is a pity.

However, using Warwick's p888 mobile phone, you can capture the Great Wall.

There are also several wide asphalt roads, which are contrasted with the surrounding environment and can be seen vaguely, just like hair.

The girls discussed excitedly, taking pictures, cheering.

...

A few hours later, the tourists finally lost interest and became quiet again. There was no Internet here, and there was no way to post on WeChat Moments. I was so nervous that I was so anxious that I couldn't share it.

"That... handsome guy?"

Zhang Yuan and Li Zhendong looked at each other.

What about me?

It's me that's talking about!

"...Handsome guy, are you that, that Zhang Yuan? The one who donated! You are actually an astronaut!" The other party seemed very excited.

Zhang Yuan touched his head. Is he so famous?

The girl across the street looked at him and said excitedly: "... At that time, I happened to be watching the live broadcast. I really didn't expect you to be an astronaut. Don't you want to stay on earth and attack the entertainment industry?"

"When did I say I would enter the entertainment industry? I never had this plan..." Zhang Yuan coughed and replied: "I will follow the spaceship and leave the solar system."

"I just knew! How could the son of a great scientist do that kind of boring trick? Haha, I'm not saying it's not good to be a celebrity, but the social value created is definitely not as good as that of a scientist. Can I post on WeChat Moments to clarify this fact?"

"Send it, it's okay."

The girl clicked on her cell phone and found that there was no Internet, so she had to give up.

She seemed to see Zhang Yuan a little embarrassed and asked another question that was very good to answer: "Well, I have a question to ask you, what are the ring-shaped devices outside the window that will brighten?"

Zhang Yuan replied: "That is an ion propulsion device. When we reach the geosynchronous orbit, the linear speed is about 3.1 kilometers per second. This part of the lateral linear speed is provided by the electric thrust engine, which can reduce the lateral deformation of the elevator track."

"Oh..." The girl seemed to understand.

Zhang Yuan smiled.

In fact, there are more and more ion engines on the Tenglong Space City to maintain the orbital height of the Space City.

Think about it, when a person pulls a hydrogen balloon and gets an upward pulling force, the hydrogen balloon will be subjected to a reaction force, that is, a downward pulling force.

By the same token, when the cargo elevator climbs up along the cable track, it will lower the height of the Space City. Therefore, it is necessary to rely on the jet working fluid to push the space station to the synchronous track again in order to maintain dynamic balance.

Even if the space elevator has been built, it still has to be used to promote the working fluid to maintain balance. What a tragic thing.

But this is already the best way to climb the gravitational well. Who said that the space elevator is not a rigid body?
