_1 Chapter 1257: Chapter 1136: I am Super, Space Elevator!
_1 [Chapter 0 Skyfall Unlocked]
Qi Ye looks at this title with both surprise and excitement.
“Skyfall…”
Just by seeing the word, he knew: this chapter is definitely a big scene!
If the sky falls, could it possibly be a small scene?
“So, this is the initial chapter, all the reasons for aliens and alien monsters’ invasions are here?”
Qi Ye’s anticipation is fully charged!
However, he does not immediately log in, but chooses to log out.
After completing the storyline where he survives extreme conditions and counter-attacks the lizardman base, it’s already late in the evening.
He needs to fill his rumbling belly first.
The bloody and terrifying environment of the base, and the experiences of killing and conquering in the game also exerted a lot of mental pressure on him.
Now it’s a good time to rest his brain and relax.

But for this meal, he decides to go vegetarian.
He has seen too much bloody stuff in the game and inevitably craves something light.
…
The dinner is finished a half an hour later.
Qi Ye felt that his mental state was absolutely OK and, without hesitation, logged into the virtual world again.
This time, while his eyes are still closed, he hears the sound of voices.
As he opens his eyes, he finds himself in a lively lobby.
Looking around, he sees rows of seats and a security checkpoint that requires identity verification.
There are people in uniforms walking and chatting on the path on the other side.
The weather is clear, the temperature suitable, the air is crisp, windows clean and transparent.
Most importantly: world peace.
Compared with the harsh environments of the previous seven chapters, this open is far too easy.
However, when Qi Ye looks down, he notices something off: he sees that he is in a military uniform.
A strange symbol is etched on the shoulder badge of the uniform, and beneath it reads:
[Orbital Strategic Defense Department]
“Ah?”
Qi Ye blinks, “Orbital Strategic Defense Department?
As in, space orbit?
Am I going to heaven?”
Just then, the security gate suddenly flashes green.
People in identical uniforms spring to their feet and Qi Ye quickly follows suit.
After smoothly passing through security, they are greeted by a shuttle bus and everyone boards in an orderly fashion.
Once the shuttle starts, Qi Ye manages to ask an NPC, “Where are we going?”
The NPC looks at him as if he were an idiot.
But Qi Ye really doesn’t know, his face full of sincerity.
The speechless NPC mutters two words: “Ark.”
“Where is the Ark?” Qi Ye asks again.
As soon as he finished asking, the NPC doesn’t even want to look at him and simply points out the window.
Qi Ye turns his head to look outside with a baffled expression but doesn’t see anything special.
“Is there anything there?”
The NPC lifts his hand, “Look up.”
Qi Ye lifts his head.
Then, he sees a marvel.
A colossal base, larger than the eye can see, with three launching towers rising like skyscrapers.
The base, waist, and top three-layer ring structure connect the three launching towers, and several unknown-material cables rise from the top of the skyscrapers, extending upward endlessly until they disappear into the distant sky.
The thruster ejects bright flames, sending a gray metal square cabin into the sky.
Under the pull of the cables, it ascends at a rapid pace until it becomes a tiny speck that’s barely visible.
“Is this…a space elevator?!”
Qi Ye instantly recognizes this entity and ——
He’s astounded!
Ever since the space elevator appeared as an Easter egg in the “Gravity”, this initially obscure sci-fi invention suddenly became famous overnight as bloggers explained it time and time again.
Even a fan of the horror genre like him, who is not especially interested in sci-fi, inevitably watched numerous related videos.
“So…the Ark is in space?”
“Is the ‘sky fall’ in the title…”
Qi Ye understands all at once ——
That thing might have an accident!

“You say…” he nudges the reluctant NPC, “How about the defensive strength of the space elevator?”
“?” An imaginary “question mark” pops up in the NPC’s eyes, “You should ask that yourself.”
“Me?”
“You are from the Orbital Strategic Defense Department, and you are asking me?”
“Ah?
Aren’t you also?” Qi Ye is taken aback.
The NPC brother taps his badge: “Orbital Strategic Support Department.”
Qi Ye isn’t an NPC.
He has no understanding of these specific departmental roles, and it’s hard to find a reference point.
After all, the concept of a space force has barely taken form in real life.
“Alright.”
Qi Ye stops talking, closes his mouth, and keeps greedily watching the increasingly close space elevator.
This thing is simply too spectacular!
As a “believer in technology” of the modern era, it is hard to be indifferent towards such an awe-inspiring technological marvel.
He still remembers some of the key points mentioned in those short videos:
The vast ground base with comprehensive functions;
The high-strength electric rail launch system made of nanomaterials;
A massive power station and elastic energy storage;
The high-tech orbit and airlock system that reach more than 36,000 kilometers;
Seamless brazing technology that can perfectly combine tens of thousands of independent components;
The high orbit space station and the even higher super-large “counterweight” that plays a balancing role…
It doesn’t matter that many of these technologies cannot be achieved in reality.
Even if they could, the human resources and materials needed would be an astronomical figure, enough to bankrupt a country!
Therefore, there is little hope of seeing such a “planetary level” high-tech marvel in our lifetime.
