Moon Elevator?
After Tang Weijie heard Jiang Chen's words, he was first taken aback, then he suddenly smiled and said.
"Moon Elevator? I don't have any opinions. This is a great thing for Lunar City! I also discussed this with people from several other departments a few days ago. If we can connect the surface of the Moon and the circumlunar orbit with an elevator, the cargo loading and unloading efficiency of Lunar City will increase by at least two times! "
Not to mention cargo loading and unloading efficiency, just the energy alone could be saved a lot.
Future Heavy Industries had accumulated a wealth of construction experience when building Celestial City. Even without the wreckage from the apocalypse, the construction of this two-hundred-kilometer-long elevator could easily complete the task.
In the following time, Jiang Chen walked in the lower city of Lunar City while discussing the construction of the Moon Elevator with Tang Weijie next to him.
This elevator didn't need to be as large as the one on Earth, and even the living space could be omitted. It only needed to be equipped with four rotating counterweights at the end and a port position. There was still a lot of space on the Moon to be developed, and there was no need to expand to outer space.
What's more, because there was no synchronous orbit, this elevator couldn't rely on inertial force to maintain the balance between gravity and inertial force. Building it too large would instead push up the cost. For Guanghan City, which wanted to save costs, it was a bit of a loss.
…
After the first day of visit, the group took the elevator back to the surface. Under Tang Weijie's lead, Jiang Chen and Xia Shiyu went to the hotel where they were staying.
Although the living space of Lunar City was mainly concentrated underground, that was only for ordinary people.
After all, it was rare for everyone to visit the Moon. If possible, no one wanted to live in a narrow "tunnel" and stare at the cold ceiling.
It was precisely because of this idea and the high maintenance cost of ground buildings that the land price on the surface of Lunar City could be described as extremely expensive. Only the rich with assets of tens of millions could afford to live in hotels on the surface. And those independent houses with lunar rovers, garages, saunas, and other facilities could only be considered by the rich with assets of hundreds of millions.
As for private properties.
Sorry, Guanghan City had no plans to build a residential area on the moon for the time being. All the properties listed for sale were 500 meters underground, and the prices were often ridiculously high … The most amazing thing was that there was no market for such a high price.
Lying in the steaming bathtub, Jiang Chen enjoyed the feeling of taking a bath on the Moon while looking at the blue planet outside the window. He cleared his mind to kill time.
The feeling of taking a bath on the Moon was not much different from that on Earth. The amount of body exposed in the water was only related to the difference in body density and water density, and had nothing to do with the acceleration of gravity.
Just as Jiang Chen let his thoughts wander, there was a rustling sound behind him.
The clothes were placed in the basket, and her light steps stepped on the tiles. As he listened to the sound approaching, a smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face. Soon, through the thick mist, a smooth foot gently tapped on the surface of the bathtub.
"It's not hot, come in." Jiang Chen smiled.
Xia Shiyu's face turned as red as an apple. She quickly crossed her arms and sat in the bathtub. She looked at Jiang Chen, who was leaning against the opposite side, and bit her thin lips. She was embarrassed.
"I thought you had fallen asleep."
"I almost fell asleep." Jiang Chen smirked. "Now I can't sleep at all. Tell me, how are you going to compensate me? "
Xia Shiyu rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen when she saw his expression as if he had just taken advantage of her.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally overcame her shame and followed her heart. She moved her legs and sat next to Jiang Chen. The moment she rested her face on the hot chest, she only felt that her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
After a while, the throbbing gradually calmed down.
A meteorite flew across the night sky and hit the ground not far from the window.
Jiang Chen hugged Xia Shiyu's slender shoulders and looked at the dust floating outside the window.
"It would be great if I could get the shield technology."
"Shield technology?" Xia Shiyu tilted her head and was puzzled.
"To be precise, it's called the Holy Shield System. In the apocalypse, important cities such as Wanghai and Shangjing have it. It's probably the prototype of the shield outside the spaceship in sci-fi blockbusters. Pan-Asia Cooperation has a lot of defense technology, but so far, the scientists I've trained over there haven't been able to fully understand the technology. "Jiang Chen sighed and said with regret.
Xia Shiyu didn't know which word hit her funny spot, but she burst out laughing and buried her face in Jiang Chen's shoulder. Her shoulders began to tremble.
"Raise, raise scientists … Pfft …"
[Hey, don't be ridiculous. You're too funny …]
Looking at her trying to suppress her laughter, Jiang Chen made a helpless expression.
"I'm raising them, and I'm not wrong. Every month when I get my salary, I ask them if they want money or food. As a result, without saying a word, they carried rice and canned meat one by one and went home happily. "
With Project Garden of Eden, even the survivors in the slums could occasionally eat two steamed buns to improve their diet. However, food was still one of the most scarce commodities in the wasteland. Even if the credit value occasionally depreciated, the daily consumption of food would never depreciate by a large margin.
It was better to sell the food they couldn't finish at the Sixth Street than to receive the credit directly.
…
After soaking in the shower for more than an hour, the fatigue of the day was swept away.
After dawdling in the locker room for a long time, Jiang Chen put on his clothes and walked out of the bathroom while stretching.
It was seven o 'clock in the evening in Xin time, and there was a banquet waiting for him in an hour.
At that time, entrepreneurs with a total investment of more than one billion Xin New dollars in Lunar City, as well as top figures in various fields in Lunar City, would be present. The purpose of this banquet was to celebrate the permanent population of Lunar City exceeding 30,000, to celebrate the construction of the first warship of the Earth Fleet, and to welcome the "lord" of Lunar City, Jiang Chen.
There was no doubt that the last reason was the main reason.
For the capitalists who chased after Celestial Trade, Jiang Chen's existence was simply a breathing gold mine. Even if they were lucky enough to shake hands with him, drink a glass of wine, or even chat with him casually, this banquet would be worthwhile.
Not to mention anything else, just by pointing in the direction of the door and revealing where Lunar City would be built in the future, he could force a few multimillionaires to appear.
Naturally, when he walked into the banquet hall with Xia Shiyu, he immediately became the focus of the entire banquet …
