After the completion of the

over-specification space elevator, how to use it for the development of related interests is indeed a headache.

At present, the most intuitive way to use it is to provide the members of the 'Alliance' with cheap and stable satellites and other space equipment.

The carrying efficiency of space elevators has formed a generational crushing for the transportation mode of chemical fuel rockets.

Not to mention the stability of transportation, the transportation cost alone is only one percent of the latter.

With this capability alone, if the political stance between countries is not considered, the 'super-spec space elevator' can monopolize almost all space launch projects in the world.

Compared with the 'mini version' of the 'Fuyao space elevator' on Hainan Island, the scale of the 'ladder' in Gabon is enough to support 9 elevator cars to lift and go back and forth at the same time, and the capacity is even more different.

But the General Administration of Dragon Strategy is still not very relieved about this.

The 'Super Space Elevator' project is participated by dozens of countries, and nearly 100 countries have cooperation intentions.

In the end, it led to the birth of the behemoth of the 'Alliance' organization.

The capital, manpower, and material resources invested by various countries are even more huge.

Such a huge investment must be rewarded.

The most stable relationship between nations is only eternal interests.

For the Coalition to survive for a long time, and even to grow further, the Oversized Space Elevator project must bring returns to each participating member state commensurate with the cost of investment.

Judging from the current massive resource investment of each member state, after the completion of the 'super-specification space elevator', the business of 'space transportation' and the delivery of satellites and other space equipment alone will not be able to bring satisfactory returns to all countries.

"According to the estimation of the General Staff Department of the General Administration of Strategy, after the completion of the 'Sky Ladder', it will only take half a year to complete the space transportation tasks of the member countries of the 'Alliance' organization in the next 20 years.

But the question now is, what to do in the next six months?

The 'ladder' built at such a great cost can't just be left there and watched...

Shi Lei told Liu Lang about the current difficulties faced by the General Administration of Strategy.

They didn't expect that the advantages of the space elevator would be too great and become a nuisance.

Nine elevator cars are running at the same time, and at full load, I am afraid that in less than a year, the space resources in low earth orbit will be filled with the space equipment transported by the 'Sky Ladder'.

What's more, within the 'Alliance' organization, there are simply not so many 'goods' that need to be transported into space.

With the [Constellation Plan] being implemented by the Dragon Kingdom alone, the transportation of 18,000 satellites is already the best in the world.

The other member countries of the 'Alliance' organization, even the big countries such as the Goose Country, Germany, and the Hair Country, will not have such an exaggerated space launch mission in the next twenty years as the Dragon Country.

As for the small countries in other organizations, it is not worth mentioning, and the launch plan of three or five satellites a year is more like a demonstration of existence.

Liu Lang felt that it was indeed tricky.

The strong space transportation capability of the 'super-specification space elevator' is indeed the most powerful proof of the scientific and technological strength of a great country.

But in addition to demonstrating the power of a great power, it is the interests of the other small countries involved in the 'alliance' that are most important.

If the benefits of the 'super-spec space elevator' are not as great as expected, I am afraid that how eager they are to join in the first place, how disappointed they will be to leave at that time.

This is the desired outcome of North America and other countries that have been excluded from the 'alliance organization', and it is also something that the Dragon Kingdom has tried to avoid.

"In addition to the first stage of the launch of satellite equipment.

In the second phase, we are even preparing to open the Ladder space travel program and build a small space hotel.

and an enhanced version of the 'Hubble Space Telescope', which provides relevant astronomical research conditions for the member countries of the Alliance... Shi

Lei also mentioned several planned 'over-specification space elevator' service projects, involving scientific research, tourism profits and other fields.

"These sound good, but overall, the expected benefits are still too small compared to the cost of input.

Liu Lang couldn't help but shake his head slightly when he heard this.

If only Shi Lei mentioned this, then the 'abbreviated version' of the Fuyao space elevator on Hainan Island can also do it, but on a smaller scale.

In the 'super-spec space elevator' project, the various resources invested by various countries have been converted into funds, which has reached a terrifying trillion dollar level, not counting the nuclear warheads provided by the goose country and the security resources of the troops stationed in various countries.

With such a large investment, it is tantamount to a fool's dream to recoup the cost of tourism and astronomical scientific research projects.

Shi Lei also thought so, but think tanks, including the General Administration of Strategy, couldn't think of any breakthrough suggestions, so he came to ask Liu Lang just to try his luck.

"The General Administration of Strategy has mentioned that if it is really not possible, in the future, the use of the [Constellation Plan] may be opened to the member countries of the 'alliance organization', allowing them to use some of the functions of the [Constellation Plan] to a limited extent.

Shi Lei said in a bitter tone, and Liu Lang couldn't help frowning a little when he heard it.

As a provider of 'industrial mass production technology of carbon nanomaterials' and 'heavy nuclear fusion reaction technology', Liu Lang is now undoubtedly a national treasure-level scientific research expert.

So he also learned a lot of state secret information through Shi Lei.

For example, the [Constellation Project] is actually the same as the [Starlink Project] in North America, regardless of the official excuses of 'peaceful use of space resources', 'development of space communications, media business', etc., in fact, their most important significance is the application of military and intelligence information to serve the possible future war events.

When it comes to national defense and security, the General Administration of Strategy was not originally prepared to open the [Constellation Project] to other countries, but if it can't find a suitable point of interest in the future, it can only be used as a bargaining chip.

But if you do, you're in big trouble.

The "Alliance" organization has declared itself to be a scientific research and economic cooperation organization with no military or political significance.

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, anyway, the Dragon Kingdom insists on making such a claim, and others have no strong excuse to oppose it.

However, if the [Constellation Project] is opened, North America and other countries are bound to strongly protest, because North America is well aware of the important role of the [Constellation Project] in military affairs.

As a last resort, the General Administration of Strategy is not willing to open the [Constellation Project] to the outside world.

Speaking of which, Liu Lang also understands the problem that the official is facing now.

"I have a more mature suggestion, should we use the 'ladder' to build a large International Space Station?"
