The Nair People's Space Elevator
The earlier probes had already photographed the distribution of various facilities of the Nair Civilization Pot Lid Vastness Star and sent them to Lyra. However, the equipment on the probes was not as advanced as that on Lyra, so seeing these facilities from Lyra's perspective felt completely different.
It's like the difference between a nearsighted person wearing glasses and one not wearing glasses.
Of course, what you see with the naked eye through the porthole is no match for the detection equipment carried by the Lyra. So after satisfying his curiosity about visual observation, Yue Yuan returned to the Lyra's Command Center.
The reason why the exterior design of the Nair Civilization Lake-Class Warship can be clearly seen is also due to the detection equipment of the Lyra.
At this moment, while others were still discussing the warships of the Nair Civilization, Yue Yuan turned his attention to other scenes.
At this moment, the transport fleet led by the Lyra has arrived in the far Earth orbit of the Pot Lid Five Planet, so the facilities of the Nair Civilization in Low Earth Orbit are now clearly visible to humans.
It seems that the Nair Civilization did not intend to hide anything.
"Hmm, it seems that the Nair Civilization also uses Orbital Mass Accelerator. Perhaps it's because their Level 2 Civilization technology can't produce the materials required for Space Elevator," Yue Yuan murmured, clearly noticing the Nair Civilization's Ground-Space Transportation method.
To be honest, Yue Yuan was somewhat disappointed. He had thought that the Nair Civilization was more advanced than humans in Ground-Space Transportation, but he did not expect that it was also using Orbital Mass Accelerator.
Yue Yuan saw through the detection equipment of the Lyra that some kind of vehicle was being launched into space from the ground. It was a kind of easily disassembled vehicle rather than a spaceship, and its tail was still spewing flames.
He was very familiar with these things; they must be supplies launched into space from Orbital Mass Accelerator.
I was somewhat disappointed, but thinking about it, it was understandable.
That being said, Yue Yuan didn't have high hopes for this so-called exchange and trade. When they first made contact, he just mentioned it casually. After learning that the Nair Civilization agreed and seemed very enthusiastic, he had hoped to exchange some of their Characteristic Technology with the Nair Civilization.
However, judging from the current situation, the technology of the Nair Civilization seems to be slightly inferior to that of humans. This can be seen from the way the warships are equipped with three types of triple-mounted main guns, indicating that their Materials Technology is far inferior to that of humans.
The most difficult part of realizing Space Elevator lies precisely in Materials Technology. Even humans haven't been able to create cables with sufficient strength and toughness, let alone the Nair Civilization.
Thinking about it this way, Yue Yuan felt relieved.
However, just as he turned around and was about to walk towards the Command Center door, a cry of surprise suddenly rang in his ears, "This is... Chief of Staff, look! Unbelievable!"
"What the hell? Why is it so loud! It's so jumpy, it can't even say what it saw!" Yue Yuan muttered to himself, but still looked in the direction of the sound.
Just a few steps to his right, Liu Miyan was raising his hand and pointing at the large screen in the Command Center, as if he had seen something extraordinary.
Yue Yuan looked in the direction he was pointing, and when he saw what appeared on the big screen, his furrowed brows immediately changed, and a look of surprise welled up in his heart.
"Huh! Could it be..."
After muttering something, Yue Yuan immediately shouted to the row of operators on the right, "Xiao Huang, zoom in on screen number 9."
Screen number 9 is the screen that Liu Miyan referring to, and it's also the screen he's currently staring at.
In the video, Yue Yuan saw a Space Station was much larger than the others, and it looked like Space Fortress.
What surprised him was that beneath this large Space Station, something emitting flames was slowly sinking into it from below, gradually slowing down.
He could tell that the flames were from a spacecraft, but if it was a spacecraft's exhaust plume, then according to his understanding, it shouldn't have entered the Space Station in this way.
The answer was revealed after the image was magnified.
"Wow! This is Space Elevator!!!"
The Lyra's detection equipment was quite powerful, able to capture clear images from such a great distance. After the images were magnified, Yue Yuan quickly recognized what this so-called large Space Station was.
What is shown in the picture now is no longer a large Space Station that occupies the entire screen, but rather the details of this 'large Space Station '.
As instructed by Yue Yuan, the operators consciously adjusted the large screen to display the entire content, which was originally only on screen number 9.
So everyone in the Command Center saw a close-up of this large Space Station. Oh no, it should now be called Space Elevator.
The first thing that catches the eye is a huge circular platform, which is made up of strips coated with a shiny metal layer, enclosing the main structure of the platform in layers.
The main structure is spherical in the center, surrounded by three rings of metal structures, and further out are rigid structures that resemble tentacles.
It looked like a basketball with three tires of different sizes on it, and the three tires were connected by long strips from the inside out.
Above the main structure stands a long pillar. Below it, the structure tapers at an angle, like the bottom of a funnel, followed by a series of circles and various pieces of equipment.
Overall, the space section of the Nair Civilization's Space Elevator looks like a wooden spinning top.
As the camera pans down, viewers see rows of taut steel cables. Countless cables are arranged in a symmetrical pattern around these circular loops. At regular intervals, a distinct circle secures the cables.
If you look closely, you'll notice that these circles aren't just thin rings; they're also quite long, and there are clumps of what look like some kind of equipment distributed on them. This arrangement, viewed as a whole, resembles ropes threaded through the wall of an iron barrel.
Just then, humans began to see bright spots moving up and down. These were likely the elevator cars of the Space Elevator.
Contrary to popular belief, the Space Elevator's car is not square, but cylindrical with a pointed top. The exhaust flames emanating from the bottom are likely the elevator car's propulsion system.
The car is cylindrical in shape, and the sharp structure at the top is presumably designed to address the drag caused by the planet's atmospheric environment.
Upon seeing this structure, Yue Yuan was somewhat taken aback, because in his understanding, Pot Lid Five Planet should be a planet without an atmosphere, so there was no need to design the cabin like this at all.
This is a bit puzzling. Could it be that the Nair Civilization has already transformed Pot Lid Five Planet into a planet with an atmosphere?
