Chapter 757




In the modern world .

237 nautical miles east of Ange Island was Xin's territorial border . Going further southeast was the vast international territory without a single island nearby . However, because of the recent application for the mining of manganese nodules, Future Mining used a construction vessel and dragged an offshore platform to this location .

However, it was strange . After Future Mining left the offshore platform alone in the sea, there was no sign of work starting . Other than a few soldiers patrolling the location and several workers, there weren't even mining equipment .

What is Future Group planning to do?

It was undoubtedly the UA that was the most curious after they started extensive monitoring after the completion of Penglai City . While curious, they could not ask directly . Then the Capital used its usual tactics to disclose this information through an official who wished not to be named, and then let these reporters go find the news .

However, Future Group apparently did not take the reporters' bait . When the reporters asked about the offshore platform of Future Mining, the answer was the same one—"Legal activity . No comment . "

The "disguise" of Future Group actually made the public more curious . For the time being, all kinds of rumors began to sprout . Each of the keyboard warriors analyzed the actions of Future Group and searched for their deeper motive . Some people said that Future Group was building a second Penglai City, and some people said that they were building submarine cities . Some people even said that they discovered the remains of aliens under the sea . . .

Public opinion was easily led to odd places .

What is Future Group really doing?



Everyone was curious about this problem . . .

. . .

"What is that?"

On the offshore platform, Calvin, the CEO of Celestial Trade Aerospace Space Technology Institute, glanced over the platform at a board 20 square meters long . From the appearance, it didn't look like solar panels, he really couldn't think of the functionality of this thing .

"The anti-satellite laser array . It is too cumbersome to explain . In short, the spy satellites on our heads can only see a luminous spot of more than a dozen square kilometers . The radio signals they monitor will just become white noise . "Jiang Chen patted the fence on the platform and smiled at Calvin . "This is one of the top secrets of Future Group . Now you still have the chance to go back . "

"But it will make the curious me unable to sleep at night . " Kelvin shrugged and followed behind Jiang Chen .

The Droplet stopped at the offshore platform, but Jiang Chen obviously didn't plan to look at this bizarre submersible .

After entering the Droplet, Jiang Chen established a route on the holographic screen, and then opened panoramic imaging, turning the whole Droplet into a real water drop, transparent inside and out . . .




"Stunning technology . " Calvin reached out and touched the wall, his fingers poked the steel plate . "It is the first time I have seen such a magical underwater submersible vehicle . . . Is this the top secret?"

"Do you think this needs to be kept a secret?" Jiang Chen laughed .

Calvin also laughed .

It made sense, this was nothing more of a secret compared to all the technology Future Group introduced . Even in Penglai City, Jiang Chen did not hide anything from the media during its construction . Halfway through the project, he began auctioning off the property on the artificial island .

Obviously, there was something incredible hidden underneath the sea .

However, what puzzled Calvin was why Jiang Chen asked him to come along for something under the sea . His field of expertise was aerospace .

He didn't have to wait long, that is, around two minutes of time, the Droplet had slowly submerged to the bottom of the sea . When the searchlights were turned on, Calvin followed the beam and his eyes widened suddenly .

There was a giant metal cube . From the top down, it looked at least two or three kilometers in length and width . Compared to Penglai City, this cube was not shocking, but for some reason, he felt a more science fiction design from the structure . . .

And intuition told him that this must be related to aerospace .

Reminiscent of what Jiang Chen said about space elevators in the past, his heart suddenly felt a hint of enlightenment . Could it be . . .

"This, what is this thing?" Kelvin asked in a trembling voice .

"I thought you'd be able to guess it," Jiang Chen grinned back and pressed down on the holographic screen to stop the Droplet in place . "The base station for the space elevator . Though not yet completed . "

Yes, this was just a semi-finished product .

The space elevator base obtained from White Beluga Station was disassembled . Jiang Chen mobilized all the amphibious engineering robots that he brought to the modern world and assembled it for half a month before seeing this half-finished product now .

Calvin was silent for a long before sighing .

"I don't know why I feel regretful . "

"Oh, why?" Jiang Chen asked .

"I have used what I have learned in my life and the rocket era is already over," Calvin said in a sly tone .

At least, the era of the space rocket is over .

If the cost of aerospace could be reduced from tens of millions of dollars to a thousand dollars, who else would pay for space rockets? Even SpaceX's Falcon Rocket would not be this cheap . It could be foreseen that Celestial Trade, with control of the space elevator, will undoubtedly control all global satellite launch projects . . . At least commercial satellite launch projects .

"It's too early to say that . " Jiang Chen shook his head and smiled . After a pause, he continued, "The space elevator has only completed its first phase of the project, which is the base of the space elevator . The remaining part needs to be completed by both the Aerospace Technology Institute and the Future Heavy Industries . "

Unlike all buildings on earth, this "Babel" tower leading to synchro orbits was built from the top down . The space station of the synchronous orbit was built first . Then the construction of the terminal balancer and the 36,000-kilometer orbit must be started simultaneously .

This meant that all construction materials must be launched into outer space through rockets . Regardless of the cost of the material itself, the cost of the rocket launches would not a small figure . This was also the reason why Jiang Chen began to merge and acquire private aerospace companies since last year to develop the Celestial N-series rockets . Only by lowering the launch cost to a relatively reasonable price could Future Group have the conditions to build a space elevator .

As early as last year, Jiang Chen was preparing for this moment .

"All technical information on the space elevator has been developed and all we have to do now is to bring the blueprints to life . I will not set a ceiling for the project budget, and your only task is to complete this for me . Babel . "

After a pause, Jiang Chen smiled .

"If it is completed, your name and my name will all be celebrated in history . "
