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

After Shi Lei returned to the General Administration of Strategy, after a series of discussions and deductions on the space elevator, he finally returned to the filming base of "The Wandering Earth" with the mission.

"Mr. Liu, have you ever heard of the space exploration technology company in the United States?

That is, Space X, which was founded by Musk.

Liu Lang nodded, as the company of the famous 'American Iron Man' Musk, he had naturally heard of the name of Space X.

As the first businessman to participate in the field of aerospace, which has traditionally been dominated by national officials, in an unofficial capacity, and has succeeded in achieving great success.

Musk is respected by countless people around the world and is regarded as the representative of the new generation of 'rice country dream'.

"Then I believe you should also know that its establishment is inseparable from the strong support of the United States official. "

At the beginning of its existence, Space X not only received a large number of services from the official aerospace department, but also won contracts for commercial orbital transportation services from the space agency at the beginning of its birth, and later even took over most of the official NASA launch missions.

It can be said that without the continuous blood transfusion of official technical personnel, contracts, Space X would simply not have the size and status it has today.

Liu Lang nodded slightly, but for a while, he couldn't figure out Shi Lei's purpose for saying this.

"Although Space X's slogan is 'reduce costs, improve space services', it advertises itself as a private space company that is beyond the official authorities of various countries.

But everyone knows that this is nothing more than a façade.

Space X, as a private company, is launching low-orbit satellites into space in large quantities, with the goal of deploying 12,000 'Starlink satellites' in Earth's low orbit to implement what they call the Starlink program.

Although they have repeatedly claimed that the Starlink plan is only involved in the civilian satellite Internet market, once the other party successfully deploys it, the more than 10,000 Starlink satellites above our heads will be a huge security risk.

Listening to Shi Lei's serious introduction, Liu Lang also realized the seriousness of the problem.

In peacetime, these Starlink satellites can provide satellite communications services only for commercial use.

Once it enters a state of war, Space X, which has an ambiguous attitude towards the government, will definitely obey the official orders and provide military information services urgently needed in a state of war, including rapid response in the event of a local conflict, obtaining accurate, high-resolution image data in a short period of time, and improving the ability to obtain information in hot and sensitive areas.

"That's why you're telling me so much for...

Liu Lang asked Shi Lei, he knew that the other party could not introduce so much irrelevant information to him for no reason.

"So we're ready to support your company to become the Space X of the Dragon Country through space elevator-related technology!"

Officials have long intended to follow Space X's Starlink plan and deploy a large number of remote sensing satellites in ultra-low orbits, combined with high-orbit gazing satellites and ordinary military satellites in general orbits, to form an unbreakable 'military satellite network'.

But if this action is promoted in an official capacity, it will certainly be criticized by world public opinion.

After all, as a signatory to the Treaty on the Non-Mitarization of Outer Space, the General Administration of Strategy must consider avoiding official status.

But if you want to find a private aerospace entrepreneur like Musk in China to support it, it will be really difficult for a while.

At this time, Liu Lang appeared in the field of vision of the General Administration of Strategy.

The birth of the space elevator has shocked the General Administration of Strategy not only in the mass production of new materials "carbon nanotubes".

The high-efficiency, low-cost mode of space transportation of space elevators has also caused a stir within the aerospace sector.

Coupled with the fact that Liu Lang, who built the space elevator, had long been in contact with the Security Bureau, through such a long period of observation and several cutting-edge technologies provided by Liu Lang, he has long been recognized by the General Administration of Strategy and regarded as his own person.

As a result, Liu Lang, who runs the company 'π Technology', was immediately identified as the most suitable candidate in China to enter the field of orbital satellite launch as a private entrepreneur.

"In the future, our goal is to deploy at least 18,000 ultra-low-orbit satellites, which will be publicized in the name of commercial communication satellites.

And their launch tasks will all be outsourced to your 'π Technology' company on a commercial basis.

Shi Lei introduced this [ultra-low orbit constellation satellite] plan to Liu Lang with a serious face.

"It's not. My π technology company's main business is currently recuperating prosthetic armor, strictly speaking, it's just a 'medical device' company!

"It's okay, it's man-made.

I know what you mean, π science and technology is short of people, right?

No problem, in a few days, a group of professional and technical personnel in the aerospace department will leave the official department and join your π technology company, they are the most elite aerospace backbone elites aged 25-40.

Are you short of money? Banks can handle large interest-free loans for you π technology companies at any time, and you can set the repayment date, and loans of less than 2 billion yuan can be completed within two days

! You can rest assured, we can give you the same price as Space X for the average launch price of ultra-low-orbit satellites, and considering the low transportation cost of space elevators, your π technology will never lose money!

Now, if there are any other requirements, you can just mention it to me!"

Looking at the series of assurances made to himself by Shi Lei patting his chest in front of him, Liu Lang was dumbfounded.

"This... How does it sound like...

"This space arms race started first, since they can support Musk, then we can naturally support you."

"What kind of private entrepreneur can fight such a rich battle?!

Does anyone believe my unofficial identity when I say this?"

"It's okay, don't worry, you have official backing behind you, and the official says that you are a private entrepreneur, then you are!"

Shi Lei's indifferent eyes were still mixed with a little contempt, as if the problem Liu Lang said did not exist in his eyes at all.

It is a matter of national defense strategy, and the official support for the [ultra-low orbit satellite constellation] program will definitely spare no effort.

Liu Lang thought about it for a while and accepted it.

Then the CEO of π Technology, that is, his sister Liu Nian, called over from the imperial capital.

"Brother, what's the situation with your

crew? Why do you have to sign a confidentiality agreement when you come in?!"

This is the first time Liu Nian has set foot in the filming base of "The Wandering Earth", looking around all the way, full of curiosity about everything in the crew.

When she learned from Liu Lang about the [Ultra-Low Earth Orbit Satellite Constellation] plan and the fact that π technology companies were about to play a dominant role in it, Liu Nian's expression was even more shocking than that of Liu Lang at the beginning.

"Brother, did you save the galaxy in your last life

?!Or is there smoke coming out of our ancestral tomb

?!!Can this kind of good thing come to us?!"

Liu Lang looked at his excited and excited sister and glared at her angrily.

"I don't know, I just want to make a good movie, why is it so difficult. "
