He Xingzhou immediately convened experts to discuss the construction of the Space Elevator.
In the past few days, the expert group has designed a plan for the Space Elevator at the fastest speed.
Chief Engineer Xiao Mao spoke: "Director, this is our current idea."
"The geostationary orbit of Blue Star is as high as 36,000 kilometers. If we want to make a space elevator to transport people and goods, the length-to-width ratio of this elevator will reach an order of magnitude above 10,000:1."
"According to the load-bearing structure design of traditional elevators, no material can withstand such pressure, its own weight will crush itself!"
"So we intend to design a tensile structure, launching a large space station and a massive counterweight into geostationary orbit."
"This space station and counterweight will rotate with Blue Star, using the centrifugal force from Blue Star's rotation to maintain the main tensile structure."
