Goestoward the southeastagain is the vastinternational waters, the nearbycannot see, even ifislands. Howeverbecauseapplied for the reason of manganese noduleminingrecentlyhere, Future Miningtowed an offshore platformwithConstruction Boat.
现世,安加岛以东七海里,这里是新国的领海边境。再往东南方去便是一望无际的公海,附近看不见哪怕一座岛屿。不过因为最近在这里申请了锰结核开采的缘故,未来人矿业用工程船拖来了一座海上平台。Howevermentionedalsostrangely, thisFuture Miningthrewthisoffshore platformaloneafterthissea, sign that had not actually begun construction. Except forarrangedseveralstanding guardsoldier above, outsidecivilians who severalseem like the staff, fishes the ore the equipment unable to seecontinually.
不过说来也奇怪,这未来人矿业将这座海上平台孤零零地丢在这片海上后,却是一直没有开始动工的迹象。除了在上面安排了几名站岗的士兵,几名貌似工作人员的平民外,连捞矿的设备都看不到。
Does Future Groupwantto do?未来人集团想干啥?Is completedafterPenglai Cityhas been staring atFuture GroupUnited States, without doubtismost curious. Butturns over tocuriouslycuriously, theyare not goodto askdirectly, thereforeWhite Housethenused the technique of habitually using, leaked outthisinformationthroughsomeanonymousWhite Houseofficial, thenmadethesereportersinquire the news.
从蓬莱市竣工后就一直盯着未来人集团的美国,无疑是最好奇的。可好奇归好奇,他们也不好直接开口问,于是白宫便用起了惯用的手法,通过某不愿透露姓名的白宫官员将这个情报泄露出去,然后再让这些记者去打探消息。HoweverFuture Groupdoes not eatreportersetobviously, askedFuture MininginthatTaiwan seaupper mounting plate of marinedeployment, the answerarranged for everybody to give the same storyisa few words„legal act, the no comment.”
然而未来人集团显然不吃记者这一套,问起未来人矿业在海上部署的那台海上平台,答案统一口径都是一句话“合法行为,无可奉告。”Future Group„concealing”, made the publicmore curiouson the contrary. Suddenly, all kinds ofrumorscause a clamor, variousgroup of keyboardheroesstate viewsare analyzing the Future Groupaction, reason that unearths the deeplevel. Somepeoplesaid that isFuture Heavy Industryis constructingsecondPenglai City, somepeoplesaid that theyare constructingUndersea City, evensomepeoplesaid,theydiscoveredAlienrelicunderseabed......未来人集团的“掩饰”,反倒让公众们更好奇了。一时间,各种各样的谣言甚嚣尘上,各路键盘侠各抒己见地分析着未来人集团的举动,挖掘深层次的原因。有的人说是未来人重工在建第二座蓬莱市,也有的人说他们在建海底城市,甚至有人说,他们在海底下发现了外星人的遗迹……
The public opinionwas guidedto approach the strangeplaceeasily.
舆论被轻而易举地引导向了奇怪的地方。Actually is Future Groupdoing?未来人集团究竟在干什么?Everyone is very curiousthisissue......
所有人都很好奇这个问题……

……„Whatthat is?”
“那个是什么?”Was on the offshore platform, Star Ring TradingAerospace Technology CenterCCEOKelvintook a look atright above a platform, therehorizontally a roughly20square meterboard. Externallylook, like the solar electrical energy generationboard, hereallycannot find outthisgadget the function.
登上海上平台,星环贸易航天科技中心的ceo克尔温瞅了眼平台正上方,那里横着一张约莫二十平米的板子。从外观上看,不像太阳能发电板,他实在想不出这玩意儿的功能。„Anti-Satellite Laser Array. Introduced that is too troublesome, in a nutshell, isenables the spysatellite on ourtop of the headonlyto see more than a tensquare kilometersluminous point, the radio signal of monitorallturns intoonegroup of chaoticnoises.”Jiang Chenpatted the guard rail that fears the offshore platform, looks that the Kelvinsmile said that „hereis one of the Future Grouptop secrets, currentlyyou have to renege on a promise2opportunities.”
“反卫星激光阵列。介绍起来太麻烦,简而言之,就是让我们头顶上的间谍卫星只能看到一个十多平方公里的发光点,监听的无线电信号全都变成一团杂乱无章的噪音。”江晨拍了怕海上平台的护栏,看着克尔温微笑道,“这里是未来人集团最高机密之一,现在你还有反悔二的机会。”„Butthatwill letmycuriousbeing able to sleep.”Kelvinshrugged, followsbehindJiang Chen's.
“但那会让我好奇的睡不着觉。”克尔温耸了耸肩,跟在了江晨的后面。Dropletstops for sideinoffshore platform, but the Jiang Chenpreparationbringsobviouslyis notthisstrangesubmersibles that heexperiences.水滴停在海上平台的正方,不过江晨准备带他见识的显然不是这个古怪的潜水器。
After enteringDroplet, Jiang Chenestablished the routeonholographic screen, then opened the integral imaging, turned intoworthy of the reputationDropletentire[The Droplet 1], from inside to outsidetransparent......
进入水滴后,江晨在全息屏幕上设定了航路,然后便打开了全景成像,将整个水滴一号变成了名副其实的水滴,从内向外透明……„Made the personsurprisescience and technology.”Kelvinput out a handto poke the bulkhead, the handdirectionpokedon the steel plate, „did Isee such mysterioussubmersibles for the first time...... the top secretamthisgadget?”
“令人诧异的科技。”克尔温伸手戳了戳舱壁,手指向戳在了钢板上,“我还是第一次见到这么神奇的潜水器……最高机密就是这玩意儿吗?”„Youthought that ithasplace that needsto keep secret?”Jiang Chensaid with a smile.
“你觉得它有需要保密的地方吗?”江晨笑道。Kelvinalsofollowsto smile.克尔温也跟着笑了笑。Said is also, thisgadgetcomparesFuture Groupalready the technology that puts out, highlight that is actually not worth keeping secret. EvenPenglai City, Jiang Cheninbeginning constructionhas not concealedanythingto the media, evenwhen the projectis halfwaystartsto auction the real estate on thisartificial islands.
说的也是,这玩意儿相比起未来人集团已经拿出的技术,却是没什么值得保密的亮点。就算是蓬莱市,在动工的时候江晨也没有向媒体掩饰过什么,甚至在工程进行到一半的时候就开始拍卖起这座人工岛屿上的房产。
Obviously, underthisseabedis hiding any seriousthing.
很显然,这海底下藏着什么不得了的东西。HoweverwhatmakesKelvinpuzzledis, why the thing under seabedhelooked for himself, ownworkinaerospacethattogether!
然而让克尔温困惑的是,海底下的东西他为啥找上了自己,自己的工作可是在航天那一块儿啊!Without the waitingis very long, istwominutes of time, [The Droplet 1]has divedslowlyseabed. When the searchlightopens, Kelvinlookswiththatlight beam,immediatelystaredin a big way the eyes.
没有等待很久,也就是两分钟的功夫,水滴一号已经缓缓下潜到了海底。当探照灯开启,克尔温随着那道光束看去,顿时瞪大了双眼。
A giantmetalcube, from top to bottomlook, the length and breadthlittlesaid that is also the 2000~3000meter. ComparesPenglai City, thiscubeis notshocks, but why does not know, he can actually feelmore intenseScience Fictionfeelingfromthisstructure......
一座巨型的金属立方体,从上往下看,长宽少说也有个两三千米。相比起蓬莱市,这座立方体不算震撼,但不知为何,他却能从这结构上感受到更为强烈的科幻感……Moreover the intuitiontoldhim, thisgadgetwas relatedwithaerospace.
而且直觉告诉他,这玩意儿和航天有关。Associatesto the Space Elevatormatter that a while agoJiang Chenandhe said that inhisheartappeared a clear(ly)to become awareimmediately, is it possible that......
联想到前段时间江晨和他说的太空电梯的事,他的心中顿时浮现了一丝明悟,莫非……„This, is actually thiswhatgadget?”Kelvinfluttersto ask.
“这,这究竟是什么玩意儿?”克尔温颤声问道。„Ialsothink that youcanguess correctly,”Jiang Chenhas come backto smile, pressedonholographic screen, makingDropletstop in same place, „Space Elevator Foundation, althoughhas not finished.”
“我还以为你能猜到,”江晨回过头笑了笑,在全息屏幕上按了下,让水滴停稳在了原地,“太空电梯基座,虽然尚未完工。”Yes, thisis only a half-finished product.
是的,这只是个半成品。FromWhite Whale Seabed Investigation StationthatlaneSpace Elevator Foundationwas the components after disassemblage, Jiang Chenmobilizesto be broughtherecompleteAmphibious Project Robottopresentworldbyhim, assemblesto assemblepresentthisappearancethesecomponentsfor half a month.
从白鲸海底考察站那弄来的太空电梯基座是拆卸后的零件,江晨动员了被他带到现世这边的全部两栖工程机器人,组装了半个月才将这些零件拼装成了现在这个样子。Kelvinsilentlong time, latersighed.克尔温沉默了半晌,随后才叹了口气。„Whydoes not know, Ialwayshave a regrettablefeeling.”
“不知为何,我总有种遗憾的感觉。”Jiang Chenasked: „oh?why?”江晨问道:“哦?为什么?”„Will not always have studied the display the pinnacle, the rockettimehad finished.”Kelvinwithridiculing the tonesaid.
“还未将平生所学发挥到极致,火箭的时代就已经结束了。”克尔温用揶揄地口吻说道。At least, the aerospacerockettimehad ended.
至少,航天火箭的时代已经结束。Ifcanreducefromtens of millionsUSD the aerospacecostto1000USD, but alsowhowill payforaerospacerocket? Evenx-spaeFalconrocket, impossiblesmall advantagetothisdegree. Whatcanforesee, graspsSpace ElevatorStar Ring Trading, will assume full responsibility ofglobalallsatellite launchingprojectsunsuspensefully...... at leastis the commercial satellitelaunchproject.
如果能将航天成本从数千万美元压缩到一千美元之内,还有谁会为航天火箭买单?就算是x-spae的猎鹰火箭,也不可能便宜到这种程度。可以预见的是,掌握太空电梯的星环贸易,将毫无悬念地包揽全球所有的卫星发射项目……至少是商业卫星发射项目。„Thissayingsaidalsotooearly.”Jiang Chenshakes the headwith a smile, after stopping the moment, thensaid,„Space Elevatoronlycompletes the first phaseat present, is the Space Elevatorbase, but the part that remains, needsjointlycompletesbyAerospace Technology CenterandFuture Heavy Industry.”
“这话说的还太早了。”江晨笑着摇了摇头,停顿了片刻后,接着说道,“太空电梯目前只完成了一期工程,也就是太空电梯的基座,而剩下来的部分,需要由航天科技中心和未来人重工共同去完成。”OnallarchitectureunlikeEarth, thistosynchronous orbit„exceedingly hightower”openedfrom top to bottombuilt. Firstconstructssynchronous orbitspace station, thenstarts the terminalbalancesimultaneously and construction of 36,000kilometerstrack.
与地球上所有的建筑都不同,这座通往同步轨道的“通天塔”是从上往下开始建的。先建好同步轨道的空间站,然后再同时开始末端平衡物和3.6万公里轨道的建设。Thisalsomeans,allconstructionmaterialsmustpassrocket launchtoOuter Space. Did not discussregardlessmaterial'scost, is only the rocket launchcostis not a smallnumber. This was also Jiang Chenstartsto merge the privateaerospaceenterprisefromlast year, developed the Star Ringn th seriesrocketreason. Only will then launch the costto pull downto a relativelyreasonableprice, Future Grouphasthatcondition that constructsSpace Elevator.
这也就意味着,所有的建造材料都必须通过火箭发射到外层空间。抛开材料本身的成本不谈,光是火箭发射的成本就不是一笔小数字。这也正是江晨从去年就开始并购私人航天企业,发展星环n号系列火箭的原因。只有将发射成本压低到一个相对合理的价格,未来人集团才有那个建造太空电梯的条件。last year, Jiang Chenis preparingthisforthis moment.
早在去年,江晨就在为这一刻准备这了。„All the technical dataaboutSpace Elevatorhas researched and developed, thenwemustdomovesfrom the blueprintit. The budget of entireprojectIwill not set the upper limit, butyouronlymission, completesthisexceedingly hightowerforme.”
“所有关于太空电梯的技术资料都已经研发完毕,接下来我们要做的就是将它从图纸上搬下来。整个工程的预算我不会设上限,而你唯一的任务,就是替我完成这座通天塔。”
After stopping the moment, Jiang Chenthensmilesto say.
停顿了片刻后,江晨接着微笑道。„Ifbecame, yourmyname, will go down in history.”( To be continued.)
“如果成了,你我的名字,都将载入史册。”(未完待续。)
