Chapter 2215: The Space Age Arrives
The space elevator has been completed, and the first phase of the Dragon Palace has been finished.
After several safety tests.
Zhao Chen invited leaders from various countries to personally ride the space elevator.
Many national leaders are still somewhat nervous about space elevators.
After all, it is said that the journey from the ground to the Dragon Palace Star Port in space takes only ten minutes one way.
This is truly beyond imagination.
These national leaders are all very protective of their lives.
The problem is that the King of JF-17 personally invited him and indicated that he would personally experience it.
Everyone said they sat in it themselves.
How could they possibly not come after being invited?
"This...has it been tested before?" A king of a country asked cautiously, looking at the carriage-like object in front of him.
"It has been tested."
"This space elevator underwent nearly a thousand tests before being put into use, and there wasn't a single problem," said the technician in charge of reception.
"Um... I'm over eighty years old, will it be a problem for me to sit in this?"
"I also have a heart condition."
Several people pressed for answers.
The technician smiled and said, "Everyone can rest assured."
Our space elevator has no restrictions and can be used by anyone, including pregnant women.
The cabin is equipped with stabilization devices, so no matter how fast the outside speed is, it feels like being on flat ground inside.
That's right.
The premise is that you don't look out the window.
Some people may feel dizzy when looking out the window, similar to the feeling of seasickness, airsickness, or motion sickness.
Hearing such words.
Everyone's worries eased a little.
Zhao Chen stepped onto the space elevator carriage.
"Please, take a seat here." Uniformed attendants guided everyone to their seats inside the carriage.
Dozens of people quickly gathered inside the carriage.
Outside the train carriage, reporters with cameras were recording the entire process.
Many people around the world are watching this scene on their televisions right now.
The doors of the space elevator slowly closed.
Many people in the elevator were still filled with worry.
"What's there to be afraid of?"
Even the King of the Dragon King is here.
"Aren't other people's lives more precious than yours?" Huo Lidia said dismissively, her eyes curiously looking at the scene outside the glass window.
"Elevator number one is starting, countdown ten seconds."
A mechanical female voice came from inside the elevator.
As the ten-second countdown began, some people were nervous, some were excited, and some closed their eyes.
Those ten seconds feel like a long time to most people.
At the very moment the ten-second countdown ended.
This space elevator section lifted off the ground at an astonishing speed and flew into the sky.
At that moment, some people unconsciously swayed.
He gripped the handrail tightly.
But they soon discovered that they did not feel any discomfort, pushback, weightlessness, or anything like that inside the elevator.
Everything truly felt as if it were happening in a quiet space.
But when someone looked out the window, they soon covered their mouth, trying to suppress the urge to vomit.
"Holy crap!"
"It's really flying! This speed even surpasses the most advanced fighter jets right now!" Huo Lidia exclaimed excitedly as she looked out ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) the glass.
As someone who can fly a plane, the speed outside the window was no problem for her at all; she adapted to it in an instant.
At that moment, Huo Lidia saw Zhao Chen stand up with a drink cup in his hand.
"You can stand up?" Huo Lidia blinked and said in disbelief.
"Yes.
"You can walk inside the elevator," the receptionist said, standing nearby.
It was only then that everyone realized that the receptionist had never sat down from beginning to end.
Huo Lidia immediately stood up and found herself walking on flat ground in the elevator without any swaying.
"This speed feels like it's on flat ground."
"What kind of technology is this?!" Huo Lidia exclaimed in disbelief.
The receptionist didn't offer much explanation, not because he didn't want to.
Rather, many of the technologies involved in this space elevator cannot be explained simply by talking about them. To those who are not researchers, it sounds like a fairy tale.
Therefore, there is no need to waste any more words.
All we need to do is let them experience the actual process.
Soon, the space elevator soared into the sky and began to break out of the atmosphere.
At this moment, some of the bolder people, like Huo Lidia, stood up and looked at the scenery outside the window.
They watched as the ground receded further and further away until they could see the blue planet before them and the dark universe in the distance.
