Everyone's eyes were fixed on the man. The entire Virtual Meeting Room was silent, and some could hardly believe their ears.
The Space Elevator—they had heard him right? The Xia Kingdom's Academy of Sciences had actually realized the Space Elevator technology that had existed only in science-fiction films.
What an astonishing development.
No one could possibly have had no doubts, but just as the man had said, the Xia Kingdom seemed to have solved all the technological problems required for the Space Elevator.
As for energy, the Xia Kingdom was not lacking. With Controlled Nuclear Fusion Reactor technology, it had completely solved humanity's current dependence on energy.
For the construction of the Space Elevator, materials were extremely important. How could they ensure that this "rope" leading into space would not snap? The material was crucial.
And Nanomaterials were, so far, the most suitable material for making this "rope."
The two most critical difficulties had already been solved. The Space Elevator was at least halfway to success.
Very soon, they realized the most critical problem.
The technology belonged to the Xia Kingdom.
Would the Xia Kingdom share it for no reason? Absolutely impossible! Then why had the Xia Kingdom summoned personnel from all the countries to attend this meeting?
It could not be simply to show off, because the Xia Kingdom had no interest in that.
That was it. Materials—the issue had returned to the original problem: materials.
Only this time, unlike before, the raw materials were what hindered the construction of the Space Elevator Project.
Building the Space Elevator from the ground all the way into space required an astonishing amount of raw materials, even if construction began atop the highest peak in the world.
Even a great nation like the Xia Kingdom could not support such material consumption on
