Is it reasonable for me to build a space elevator when filming The Wandering Earth?

North America, NASA Headquarters.

As the world's most authoritative aerospace research institution, NASA not only shoulders a series of tasks such as exploring extraterrestrial civilizations, studying terrestrial planets, and observing the evolution of cosmic celestial bodies.

Under the direction of the will of the country, it also undertakes the mission of monitoring the numerous space equipment of various countries in outer space.

Planetary Defense Coordination Office.

Early in the morning, Fernández is enjoying the cup of coffee beans from Brazil, hand-ground and fragrant.

"Sir, you'd better come and see for yourself!"

but shouts from inside the hall interrupted his tasting.

"What's the situation

?" "Sir, do you remember the space vehicle number CN1024B that I reported to you two days

ago?" "Didn't

you judge that one in the Dragon Country to be an old model more than ten years ago?

What's the problem?"

Of course Fernandez remembered, in fact, considering the current aerospace strength of the countries around the world, the Dragon Country was the only existence that could surpass them. Spacecraft launches from the territory of the Dragon Kingdom are recorded every time.

However, the recent launch of the CN1024B space vehicle was quickly judged to be an ordinary launch vehicle behind the times.

In other countries such as Kimchi Country, Sakura Country, etc., this launch vehicle may represent a huge breakthrough in their aerospace prowess.

But for the dragon country, which is now able to deploy lunar exploration vehicles to the far side of the moon, this launch vehicle from more than a decade ago can only be regarded as an outdated technology.

So as the director of the Planetary Defense Coordination Office, Fernandez did not take the obsolete launch vehicle to heart.

"There is something unusual about the route of CN1024B.

I applied for a monitoring satellite to observe it, and I found this picture.

As he spoke, the subordinate showed his observations to the supervisor, and under the observation of high-precision monitoring satellites, four carbon nanotube cables connected to the underside of the launch vehicle appeared in the picture.

Fernandez, who was originally careless, immediately turned solemn when he saw the four cables closely connected under the launch vehicle.

"Damn, what the hell is this?!"

"Sir, these four cables are supposed to be connected to the ground, but if this is true, there is no material in the world that can withstand such a high-intensity pull.

Just as they were still thinking about what the four cables represented, their subordinates suddenly made a new discovery.

"Sir, the monitoring satellite shows a new aeronautical vehicle taking off at the location of CN1024B!" Soon,

a thumbnail of the space elevator cabin was displayed on the computer screen. It's climbing at an alarming rate.

Looking at the metal quadrangular body in front of him, which was full of futuristic technology, his subordinates and Fernandez glanced at each other, and both could see the horror in each other's eyes.

"Could this

be some kind of weapon?!Could it be that the damn Dragon Nation is preparing to deploy a space weapon in outer space?!"

Fernandez's mind instantly decided that this was some kind of space weapon secretly developed by the Dragon Country.

"Quick! Answer the call for Washington Command!

The Dragons are about to deploy militarized weapons in outer space!"

Imperial capital, TV studio.

Moderator: Welcome to this episode of the program "Military Statements", which will be broadcast on TV stations and online platforms.

Today, we have invited Professor Zhang from the National Defense University, and I hope that Professor Zhang can solve the doubts of our military fans and netizens.

Professor Zhang: Hello military fans, I am Professor Zhang, who is familiar to you, and I am specially invited to chat with you today.

Moderator: Professor Zhang, that's right, recently NASA in North America announced that it has evidence of our country's deployment of space weapons in outer space, and has protested against us through diplomatic channels. As an expert in military equipment, what do you think of this?

Professor Zhang: This is pure nonsense, our country is a party to the Outer Space Treaty, and the States parties have promised not to deploy weapons of mass destruction in outer space. Although I am retired, I can pat my chest here and assure you that there is no option for outer space weapons in our military equipment planning.

Moderator: As a tenured professor at the National Defense University and an expert in the study of military equipment, your sources must be reliable. But NASA also released a photo of a quadrangular metal man-made device in it, what do you think?

Professor Zhang: Hey, this is all a misunderstanding. Don't say it, it just so happened that when I went to get my pension two days ago, I happened to ask the relevant departments. That area happened to be a filming location.

I believe everyone has heard that the crew of "The Wandering Earth", they are shooting a hardcore sci-fi film, and the quadrangular object in the picture is actually a prop in the crew, a large hot air balloon, made into the shape of a metal square.

Moderator: Oh~, so that's the case, if it weren't for Professor Zhang's understanding, I'm afraid the majority of netizens and I would have been kept in the dark.

By the way, Professor Zhang, there are many netizens, including foreign netizens outside the country, are hotly discussing whether this will have something to do with the legendary space elevator, and they are all wondering if our country has secretly invented the legendary space elevator?

However, based on my many years of experience in the research and development of military equipment, this is probably not realistic.

If you think about it, the most important thing about this kind of high-tech equipment is the material problem, and how can it be so easy to find a material that can be hundreds of times higher than the tensile strength of steel and much lighter

than it? Some people may want to say, don't we have carbon nanotube materials in China? But this kind of material has been studied in our country for more than 10 years, and it can only be produced in the laboratory with a length of more than 70 centimeters, and it is simply unrealistic to want to use it to build a space elevator.

I think the foreign special alloy research direction is quite suitable, it will be the ultimate solution for space elevator materials, here I call on the United States to increase support for special alloy technology, really to study it, beneficial to all mankind...

Moderator: Thank you, Professor Zhang, for solving our doubts, Professor Zhang, do you have anything else you would like to talk about with the majority of netizens?

Professor Zhang: I really have something to say, don't pay attention to any unrealistic things like space weapons and space elevators. I don't know if you have noticed that a large-scale joint naval and air-force exercise was recently held in the south

? Moderator: Oh~, can Professor Zhang tell us anything in this exercise that deserves everyone's attention? Professor Zhang:

That's too much! First of all, our country's first aircraft carrier with electromagnetic catapult capability has been officially installed! Let me tell you, its installation is of great significance。。。。。。
