The technological empire begins with polymer materials

When the time comes to November 10th, the second special live broadcast this month will be launched on time on major live broadcast websites around the world.

Even though it was not a holiday or a weekend, people still flocked to the show, and the major live broadcast rooms were extremely popular.

With the launch of the space program, the attention on the plateau and the whole of China has reached an unprecedented level. The average number of participants in each live broadcast is about 100 million.

It is no exaggeration to say that technology has dominated everyone's life. Even a three-year-old child knows such fresh technological vocabulary as controlled fusion, artificial intelligence zero, and atomic ant-shaped mechanical exoskeleton.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Gao Yuan appeared in front of the camera on time and said the opening words that would never change.

"Good morning, viewers, and welcome to Kunlun Group's live broadcast. I am Gao Yuan."

"On the 1st of this month, we launched the Kunlun Yunxiao, and then on the 5th, we sent the Desert Ark into space. Now they are all ready in the orbit of Jupiter, ready to launch large-scale interstellar resources for the first time in human history. Mining.”

“This is definitely a historic scene, because according to the Kardashev hierarchy, a first-level civilization can develop and utilize all the energy of a planet and all its satellites, and a second-level civilization can develop and utilize all the energy of an entire star system. , a third-level civilization can develop and utilize all the energy of an entire galaxy."

"Before the Desert Ark, China had always been hovering within the scope of the first-level civilization. If the Desert Ark succeeds, it will prove that China's civilization level has surpassed the first-level civilization and is transitioning from the first-level civilization to the second-level civilization."

"Since the founding of China, we have been waiting for this day for five thousand years, experienced countless ups and downs, and turned the tide countless times."

"Soon, we will witness a piece of history and the birth of a miracle. China will not only be the only and oldest civilization on earth that continues to this day, but will also be the first second-level civilization!"

"Next, let us witness the miracle. Kunlun Yunxiao and Desert Ark will work together to extract helium from Jupiter's atmosphere and extract the helium-3 we need."

Gao Yuan was talking eloquently, and the people who listened were excited, and their hearts couldn't help but have a huge desire for the future world. If they could witness an improvement in the level of civilization in their lifetime, it would be such a glorious thing.

At the same time, through the live broadcast, people saw the huge black body of Desert Ark slowly approaching the Kunlun Yunxiao, and the mechanical docking device had been opened.

"Why are you bragging? Although there is a lot of helium on Jupiter, is it so easy to extract?"

"I read in the New York Times that the carbon nanotubes in Kunlun Yunxiao cannot withstand the storms of Jupiter and will be directly destroyed to pieces. After all, Jupiter is the largest gas planet in the solar system. Hydrogen and helium plus the storm surge composed of various materials, It’s extremely powerful!”

"Do these Chinese people really think they have Trisolaran technology? How dare they go to Jupiter to mine resources?"

"They will definitely fail this time, and we will just wait and see the joke."

In Western live broadcast rooms, people are crazily ridiculing Plateau for overestimating its capabilities. Ever since Sergey Brin discovered that carbon nanotubes are more fragile than Jupiter's storms, the West, from academia to media news, has begun to insinuate propaganda.

By now, most people in the West know about it and watch the live broadcast as a joke.

As a mechanical sound came, Kunlun Yunxiao and Desert Ark docked successfully, and the mechanical sealing device was completely locked.

It really looks like the legendary space elevator. The Desert Ark is like an orbiting space station, and the Kunlun Yunxiao is straight and long, extending downward, like the passage of a space elevator.

The only problem is that Kunlun Yunxiao did not insert the carbon nanotubes into the atmosphere of Jupiter as everyone expected, but hovered at the edge of the atmosphere, about fifty kilometers away.

Above the atmosphere of Jupiter, there is almost no disturbance from the hydrogen and helium storm, and it is peaceful.

One second, two seconds, three seconds passed, and people began to wonder, aren't carbon nanotubes going to extract resources from Jupiter? Why do you stop here?

"What's going on? It's not broken, right?"

"I don't know. Boss Gao didn't give an explanation."

"Why don't you stop? Come on!"

"Just don't move, let's really put the carbon nanotubes deep into the interior of Jupiter and destroy them in minutes for you to see!"

"The pretender named Gao is pretending to be a fool this time, right? Isn't it difficult to ride a tiger?"

The Chinese audience was puzzled by the stagnation of the mining machine, while the Western audience took the opportunity to insult. After all, many experts had long predicted that Plateau would definitely fail.

At this moment, the live broadcast suddenly shifted from the orbit of Jupiter back to the city in the sky. The plateau reappeared, but the live broadcast location was no longer his office. He had already taken the flying car down to the ground and arrived at the super large science and technology museum in the center of the city.

Yes, in the core area of ​​Sky City, large shopping malls are connected to public welfare buildings such as science and technology museums, museums, and botanical gardens. From the perspective of layout and scale, shopping malls and supermarkets are more like tributaries of the science and technology museum, just for convenience. On the way back from the Science and Technology Museum, everyone took their children to do some shopping.

The City in the Sky has entered the era of energy freedom ahead of schedule. Warm wind blows in the air and the ground is heated by electricity. In the winter of November, the north wind blows outside the city, but inside the city it is as warm as spring.

The children gathered in the largest exhibition hall of the Science and Technology Museum. Gao Yuan strode in and stepped onto the podium. The children applauded and called Gao Yuan Uncle Gao.

Uncle Gao…

Gao Yuan's forehead was covered with black lines, and he felt like he was being called old. He was not married yet, so why did he become an uncle?

Gao Yuan smiled helplessly, facing these children and the audience behind the camera, and said: "Before we start the resource collection operation on Jupiter, I would like to introduce to you one of our latest inventions. This invention is very important. It will revolutionize our industry, agriculture, construction, planetary mining, and become a powerful helper for our star fleets and alien colony bases."

Gao Yuan introduced it, and the audience was confused. An invention that changed almost all industries at the same time, could it also help the planetary colonization plan?

Is there such a powerful invention?

is it possible?

Brag! ?

Suddenly, the barrage skyrocketed, and Gao Principle said very seriously: "As we all know, there is an extremely powerful storm surge on Jupiter, which will seriously damage our carbon nano collection tubes, so in order to solve the problem of resource extraction and transfer once and for all, We invented a completely new tool, the tractor beam."

"Next, I will select a lucky little audience member and let him operate it on my behalf, demonstrating this shocking and important invention of the tractor beam to the global audience."

"Little students who are willing to go on stage to demonstrate, please press the green button on the right side of your seat."

Tractor beam! ?

It's actually a tractor beam! ?

All major live broadcast rooms immediately exploded.

"Is Kunlun Group's laser technology already so awesome? Can it complete directional control and movement?"

"Got it, it's really an important invention. Traction beams are powerful productivity tools in the interstellar age. After all, there are many places and environments in the universe that are inaccessible to humans, but tractor beams are not affected."

"I've only seen tractor beams in games and movies, and now this thing is going to come into reality? I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"Pick me, choose me! I'm willing to go on stage and operate the tractor beam!"

"Boss Gao, choose me, I'm here, I love you to touch me!"

Everyone was shocked, and there were countless enthusiastic spectators who wanted to transform into the little classmates at the scene and take control on the stage in person.
