A moon elevator?
When Tang Weijie heard Jiang Chen's proposal, he first took a moment to digest this information, then joy was his immediate reaction.
"A moon elevator? I don't have any opinions. It'll be great for Lunar City! I have discussed this with people from several other departments a few days ago. If it is possible to connect the surface with the orbit with an elevator, the cargo handling efficiency of the city will at least double!"
Even without the efficiency gain, an elevator would save a countless amount of energy.
Future Heavy Industries already accumulated a wealth of experience in the construction of Celestial City. The construction of the elevator only 200 kilometers long could easily be completely even without the wreckage from the apocalypse.
After the tour, Jiang Chen strolled around the underground city while he discussed the construction of the moon elevator with Tang Weijie.
