Chapter 798: Feasibility Study of “Orbitless Space Elevator”

  Chapter 798 Feasibility Study of “Orbitless Space Elevator”

  ”Damn, I’ve been fooled!”

  After losing more than 20 men in a row, Favry finally came to his senses. He might have been tricked by the Alliance! It is

  true that this abandoned urban area is the position of the Torch Church, but there is nothing on the entire position except the corpses and broken bricks and tiles that have not been cleaned up in time!

  No wonder…

  these greedy blue gophers would spit out the meat they bit into their mouths so readily!

  This is not meat at all, it is clearly a cold and hard bone!

  Favry became more and more angry as he thought about it. While calling off the minesweeping troops and search teams that were busy on the ruins, he personally walked to the south of the abandoned urban area.

  It was a relatively open area, with airdropped supplies piled in the middle of the open space, and Alliance soldiers wearing exoskeletons were busy working nearby.

  They cleared the construction waste to the edge of the open space and leveled the rugged land, as if they were planning to build a runway for temporary takeoff and landing of aircraft.

  In addition, rows of uniform tents and some survivors wrapped in blankets can be seen in the distance.

  It seems that these guys plan to build a semi-permanent military base on the old site of Haibei City and stay there for a long time.

  Favre didn’t care how long they wanted to stay here. He just wanted to know what was going on with the ruins in his hands, so he walked up angrily and yelled at a patrolling soldier.

  ”Where is your commander! Let him come out to see me!”

  The patrolling player stopped and glanced at the noisy big nose.

  ”Who are you?”

  Favre narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a temper.

  ”I am the captain of the 1,000-man team of the 370,000-man team! I want to talk to your commander about the control area of ​​both sides!”

  After hearing the other side introduce their home and the purpose of coming here, the player did not continue to make things difficult for him, although he did not show much enthusiasm.

  Captain.

  They have captured many captains in the desert.

  ”Wait.”

  After throwing down such a sentence, the player turned and walked towards the direction of the camp, and a few minutes later, the murderous dagger came out.

  Favry looked him up and down and spoke.

  ”You are the commander here.”

  Killer Dagger answered concisely.

  ”Our commander has more important tasks. I am the person in charge here. If you have any questions, just come to me.”

  Favry stared at him intently, his eyes slightly narrowed.

  ”What tricks are you playing?”

  Killer Dagger looked at him calmly and replied.

  ”Tricks? Sorry, I don’t understand what you are talking about.”

  ”Stop playing dumb!” Looking at the guy in front of him playing dumb, Favry questioned aggressively, “That ruins! There is nothing in it!”

  Seeing that his tone was getting worse, Killer Dagger’s face gradually turned cold.

  ”Mr. Favry, that was the position that our soldiers had taken with their blood. You came over and asked for it from us. We could have refused, but we gave it to you without frowning. It’s not because we are afraid of you, but because we are in the same trench. But now you accuse us of playing tricks and dislike us for not helping you enough. Don’t you think you are asking for too much?”

  Favry froze in place, his face turned pale with anger, but he couldn’t say anything to refute.

  Indeed.

  His behavior was indeed a bit unkind.

  After all, the abandoned city was originally taken by the Alliance. He thought he could get a bargain so he asked for it. In the end, he was rejected and blamed others for setting him up. After all,

  it was a facility built by Torch, not the Alliance.

  It was normal for his friendly army not to know what was there…

  Looking at Favry who was gradually calming down, the Killing Dagger changed to a soothing tone and continued.

  ”Let me give you a little more information. The Holy Light Knights of the Church and the Flame Cave Clan who had withdrawn from the Ten Peaks Mountain are stationed in the city area you currently occupy. When our drone spotted them in the sky, they were reinforcing the concrete fortress.”

  ”It’s impossible to say that there is nothing there. If there really is nothing there, why would they build so many fortifications there? There must be something shady that they don’t want us to take away from them.”

  When Favry heard this, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense.

  Indeed.

  Rationally analyzing, if there was really only a ruin there, why would the Torch build so many fortifications?

  Looking at Favry who seemed to be confused by his own rhetoric, the Killing Dagger coughed lightly to hold back his laughter, and shamelessly added another sentence at the end.

  ”This kind of hidden map… cough, I mean the hidden research facility, will definitely not put the entrance in an obvious place, why don’t you go back and look for it carefully?”

  In fact, there was no need for the last reminder.

  Before the centurion of the legion could finish his words, he was already impatient to go back and start working again.

  ”Well! I’ll go back and look for it.”

  After hastily throwing down this sentence, Favre turned back to the area under his control impatiently and gathered the engineers and coolies who were resting.

  ”Look for it!”

  ”Even if you have to dig three feet deep! You must find the Torch Research Institute for me!”

  Seeing that the commander seemed to have grasped some new clues and spoke with a confident expression, the morale of the soldiers present, which had fallen to the bottom because of nothing, also revived and gave exciting shouts.

  ”Oh oh oh!!”

  Looking at the Willant soldiers who were re-energized and rushed to the depths of the ruins, a subtle hint of subtlety appeared on the faces of the battlefield atmosphere group.

  Good guys.

  They won’t really dig out something by then…

  Then it’s hard to say who will be wronged.

  …

  While the Willant people were working hard on the ruins, the players of the alliance were also chatting enthusiastically on the forum of another world.

  The most popular topic is still the post by Brother Fang.

  After evacuating from the abandoned urban area, Fang Chang went offline and returned to reality. He shared the Burning Legion’s findings in Shelter 20 on the official website forum, as well as his speculation about the whereabouts of the residents of Shelter 20 and the Torch Church’s top leaders.

  ”…Shelter 20 was opened in the 51st year of the Wasteland Era, and the last operating time was the 72nd year of the Wasteland Era. It has been in a state of abandonment since then.”

  ”Since the administrator’s log has been lost and the people related to the shelter have all passed away, it is difficult to speculate the reason for the abandonment of the shelter and the whereabouts of the residents of the shelter after the facility was abandoned. However, judging from the facilities left in the shelter and the data catalogues left in the database, the research conducted by the shelter should be related to ‘outer space development’.”

  Ya Ya: “Outer space development? 0.0”

  Fang Chang: “That’s right, the residents of the shelter are not biological experts, but mainly aerospace engineers and related practitioners. During the operation of the shelter, they proposed a variety of relatively novel technical ideas for the special outer space environment during the Wasteland Era.”

  ”For example, there is a ‘trackless elevator’ designed based on graviton-related technology. This space elevator mainly uses technology discovered in the late Prosperity Era. Its principle is similar to that of superluminal engines and anti-gravity devices. It not only has lower power consumption, maintenance, and construction costs, but also does not have the safety hazards of the classic space elevators built in the early Prosperity Era. When the situation is right, this device can help survivors return to outer space at a lower cost.”

  ”In addition, in addition to trackless elevators, the survivors of the shelter have also proposed another concept called ‘mind projection’.”

  Canyon Escaping Mole: “What is that? (Dazed)”

  Fang Chang: “To put it simply, it is to informatize consciousness, and then use high-power transmitting equipment to launch it towards spacecraft or space stations deployed in outer space in the Human Connection Era, so as to break through the blockade of large amounts of space debris and automated weapon equipment in outer space.”

  ”This scenario takes into account the most extreme situation. That is, due to the blockade of orbital debris in outer space, the survivors are completely cut off from the possibility of returning to space with the help of spacecraft, and the remaining resources are not enough for the survivors to rebuild a sustainable new civilization. They believe that by then, people need to change their thinking and transform the self-rescue mode from ‘from the inside out’ to ‘from the outside in’.”

  Sisi: “If the body cannot get out, let the spirit go out first, seize control of the outer space facilities left over from the Human Union era, and then use the technology and resource advantages of outer space to slowly develop towards the earth, and finally save the survivors trapped on the earth… Is that what you mean?”

  Fang Chang: “Smart.”

  Quitting: “I’m dizzy!!”

  Tail: “giao! In other words… the torch has escaped to an alien planet through this equipment?! ∑(Дノ)ノ”

  Fang Chang: “It’s not that far away from an alien planet… only special outer space equipment can receive this information. After all, it makes no sense to send signals to the stone. According to the information revealed by the Son of God in his will, they are heading to somewhere 1.5 million kilometers away. Based on this number, I speculate that it should be a space station near the Lagrange points L1 and L2, but I’m not sure about the details.”

  Meat Mountain Big Steamed Bun: “So far away!!”

  Aoao Sesame Paste: “Well… but why did he reveal such important information to us? (Confused)”

  Fountain Commander: “Maybe he is sure that we can’t go. (Squint eyes)”

  Sisi: “Well… actually from a psychological analysis there is another explanation. Compared to Alzu who proposed the establishment of the Second Holy Church, he is the only pioneer who has not given up his physical body in the true sense. On the one hand, he firmly believed that only when heaven was finally realized and humans completed their ascension to higher beings could they achieve salvation, but at the same time, he did not believe that the existing technology could really realize the free migration of consciousness between different bodies. Therefore, under the fear of death and uncertainty in the future, he did some seemingly contradictory things. ”

  Fang Chang: “According to the general game settings, the boss reveals key information just to advance the plot. I don’t think you need to think so much about these minor issues… and these details are not the point. The point is based on what he said at the end, and a series of concepts including ‘one million and five hundred thousand kilometers’ and ‘heavenly man’ mentioned in the dialogue. I can boldly speculate that the main line of the next expansion pack or the next stage of “Wasteland OL” will be related to outer space. ”

  Tail: “Oh! Are you going to the universe? ! (ω)”

  Edge paddling: “The wasteland on the ground has not ended yet. Is it really appropriate to open an expansion pack about outer space so early? (confused)”

  Fang Chang: “Backwardness and development coexist on this planet. The wasteland era in outer space and the wasteland era on the ground can end together, and the two can even promote each other. There is actually no conflict. And the idea of ​​a trackless elevator proposed by Shelter No. 20, I think it will probably become an important clue to take us to outer space.”

  “Moreover, I speculate that it is not just the top leaders of the Torch Church, including the residents who escaped from Shelter No. 117, and even the residents of Shelter No. 20 who disappeared more than a century ago… They are very likely to have transferred their minds to a facility one and a half million kilometers away through the ‘second way’.”

  Canyon Fugitive Mole: “In other words… the ‘celestial beings’ mentioned by the Son of God are those who have been transferred to outer space spacecraft and space stations through mind uploading technology?”

  Fang Chang: “Maybe, but I am more inclined to think that the celestial beings took them in… for some reason we don’t know.”

  Ye Shi: “So who are the ‘celestial beings’? (Confused)”

  Fang Chang: “There are two possibilities. One possibility is the Human League Expeditionary Force returning from Nanmen II, and the other possibility is the rebels from the planet Gaia.”

  ”If it is the former possibility, we may still have a chance to solve the problem through communication.”

  ”But if it is the latter, I’m afraid we will have to prepare for the worst…”

  …

  The captain’s room of the Iron Heart.

  After browsing the post on the official website from beginning to end, Chu Guang leaned back in his office chair after a while, and couldn’t help but sigh.

  ”These guys are really talented! ”

  He should have said this many times, but it didn’t stop him from thinking so every time.

  To be honest.

  As a game planner, he hadn’t thought so much, but his players had already filled in the blanks for him.

  But developing into outer space…

  this idea was indeed a bit too big.

  Not to mention that the terrible reality of outer space is even difficult for the academy, the alliance still has a lot of things to do on earth, so how can it have time to develop an outer space expansion pack –

  and so on.

  Chu Guang was about to put this matter aside for the time being, but suddenly came to his senses.

  ”Although the alliance does not have the energy to do this, and does not have the ability to do it alone, but if it is in the name of the Sticky Community, combined with the resources of the entire Sticky Community…”

  Thinking of this, Chu Guang’s eyes became brighter and brighter, and he felt that the pattern and ideas were opened up in an instant.

  The development of outer space is still too far away for the alliance for the time being, but it is just right as a new agenda for the Sticky Community!

  Just as the War in Heaven is about to end, the Sticky Community also needs a new common goal to unite all the members under the same roof.

  Developing outer space is undoubtedly a good opportunity!

  In the long run, in order to develop productivity to a level above the mid-prosperous era, it is necessary to restore the “Earth-Moon Flight” and the production of helium-3 nuclear fuel. These preconditions are indispensable. In the short term

  , the top leaders of the Torch Church have fled to outer space. In order to bring the war criminals to justice, it is reasonable for the Sticky Community to chase them, right?

  That’s too reasonable!

  Not only that.

  The “Heavenly People” who have been hiding in the dark and manipulating the situation in the wasteland are also a threat that cannot be ignored.

  If they cannot be eradicated once and for all, they will take advantage of the short-sightedness and weakness of the survivors in the wasteland again and again, allowing the “Torch-like threats” to make a comeback in the wasteland again!

  This must be discussed at the Sticky Community Conference.

  However, holding a meeting is secondary at the moment. The most urgent task is to find out whether the “trackless space elevator” that Shelter No. 20 has come up with can be built?

  Thinking of this, Chu Guang did not hesitate, and immediately looked at Xiao Qi and gave an order.

  ”Xiao Qi, notify Yin Fang! Ask him to immediately organize manpower and retrieve the information stored in Shelter No. 20!”

  ”I need the scientific expedition team to complete the sorting of this part of the information as soon as possible with the highest priority, and give me a technical feasibility analysis report on the ‘trackless sky elevator’!”

  ”I need to know the material cost and time cost of building such an elevator!”

  Looking at the energetic Chu Guang, Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the pen holder, saluted playfully and said happily.

  ”Got it!”
