Is it reasonable for me to build a space elevator when filming The Wandering Earth?

The key to the success of a space elevator is to find a reliable cable material.

The exaggerated length of the space elevator is tens of thousands of kilometers, which makes it very demanding in terms of cable materials.

The load-bearing, tensile strength, stability, thermal conductivity and fatigue resistance of carbon nanotubes are much higher than those of steel currently used in large-scale industrial applications.

Carbon nanotubes can have the performance of instant killing steel, but their weight is only one-sixth of the same volume of steel.

It can be said that it is the best choice of space elevator cable material.

Real-world research on carbon nanotubes has been around for a long time, and it has been possible to artificially produce them in the laboratory.

But it is a pity that the highest record of carbon nanotubes prepared in the laboratory is only more than 70 centimeters, which is far from meeting the needs of the space elevator, and the carbon nanotubes prepared in the laboratory are expensive.

Fortunately, Liu Lang was 'empowered' with [space elevator] related technologies, including the mature technology of large-scale industrial preparation of carbon nanotubes.

Once announced, this well-established industrialized and inexpensive preparation method of carbon nanotubes will surely cause an unprecedented sensation.

At that time, the filming of "The Wandering Earth" may be affected, so Liu Lang can only choose to hide it temporarily and use it as a movie prop to produce it to reduce the impact as much as possible.

Choosing Lin Hao's second uncle to be in charge of the operation is also the best solution that Liu Lang can think of at present.

Second Uncle Lin Hao and the masters in his props workshop have a limited level of education, and they can never imagine the value of these long rope-like materials that are soft and hard in shape, similar to engineering plastics.

As the assistant director, Lin Hao and his second uncle still have family bonds, supplemented by a confidentiality agreement with high liquidated damages, which is enough to reassure Liu Lang.

With Lin Hao's matchmaking, Liu Lang and Lin Hao's second uncle signed a large order, spending millions to hire them to produce long enough carbon nanotube material cables for Liu Lang in the next few months.

For this reason, Lin Hao's second uncle recruited a group of honest and obedient fellows, and the small workshop expanded to 100 people.

The catalyst materials for the preparation of carbon-containing gas for carbon nanotubes were provided by the relevant departments of the Security Bureau as promised at the beginning, and although the quantity was large, it was also within the capacity of the other party.

After the improved large-scale industrial preparation of carbon nanotubes, the outstanding one is a fast, large-scale, and inexpensive.

It is also far simpler to operate than the laboratory preparation method, and its difficulty lies in the innovation of the process and the selection of new catalyst materials.

Therefore, after Liu Lang demonstrated several times in the factory, the workers and masters under Lin Hao's second uncle quickly mastered the method.

Twenty

brand-new factories soon began to roar, and in the huge factory buildings, industrial assembly lines continued to manufacture raw materials for space elevator cables in batches.

。

Hainan Island, outside the fence of the shooting base.

Two sturdy men in straw hats were casually picking coconuts, but their eyes glanced in the direction of the factory building inside the fence from time to time.

"Twenty props factories? What kind of movie props are you going to make? It's too exaggerated, isn't it?"

"What is this, didn't the director report

it? After a while, he may have to try to launch an experimental rocket to shoot a movie, and the boss has already approved it

? Haven't you seen the overwhelming propaganda on the Internet?

People are making industrial science fiction films, big productions, and there will be more such big movements in the future.

"Tsk, this thing looks really expensive!

Do you want to ask the boss and find an excuse to go in and investigate?"

"What the hell are you doing here?

Our task is to guard the periphery, to guard against foreign forces approaching, and not to spy on people."

The target inside is followed by Xiao Wu, and there is no big deal. "

Hey, why do you say that the target is so brainless, he has to come to make a movie, with his ability, he can't be an academician when he goes to the Academy of Sciences?"

"Maybe people think that being an academician is not exciting to be a director, who knows what these senior intellectuals think in their heads. "

。

When the production of props and materials in the filming base began to get on the right track, Liu Lang contacted Dong Yanling, the strategic director of Byte Entertainment, again.

Dong Yanling did not forget what she promised Liu Lang at the beginning, and under her instructions, the professional film and television production team and various shooting equipment and equipment under Byte Entertainment began to rush to the filming base on Hainan Island as agreed.

Lin Hao was responsible for staying at the base to receive the corresponding logistics of the film team, and took advantage of his 'film and television family' background to start contacting the extras and special actors needed for future film shooting.

"The Wandering Earth", as a large-scale industrial science fiction film, is also a disaster science fiction theme, and the number of extras required is extremely large.

At most, there may be thousands of extras in the movie at the same time.

And the most troublesome thing is that because of the setting of the background of "The Wandering Earth", a considerable number of foreigners are still needed among these extras.

They will be involved in the filming of the film as special actors.

Fortunately, Lin Hao's relatives have been working in Hengdian for many years, and various group performance foremen have been contacted and have accumulated a lot of network resources.

Whether it is Oriental or Western, as long as the price is in place, Uncle Lin Hao, who was elected as a director in Hengdian, can even find Liu Lang an African-American who can memorize "Preface to King Teng's Pavilion" in a correct and round manner.

After this period of 'inhumane anti-pressure training' in the major crews in Hengdian, Lin Hao also faced the task of joining the group in batches in a planned and batched manner by responding to the Byte Entertainment film production team, equipment, extras, and special actors.

You can even easily contact the towns near the filming base to prepare for the surge in food supply in the future shooting base.

With the increase in the number of people in the filming base, the supply of food during the filming process is also a problem that can be easily overlooked.

The area around the abandoned port where the filming base is located can be described as desolate.

The nearest town to the filming base is also more than ten kilometers away.

In the future, it is a big problem for all film crews to ensure the food supply of hundreds or thousands of people in the filming base every day.

This is also an important reason why Liu Lang needs Lin Hao to act as an assistant director, he can't focus on the shooting of the movie while dealing with these trivial chores that have nothing to do with specific shooting matters.

With Lin Hao's help, Liu Lang was able to free up his hands to solve other more difficult problems.

For example, the invitation of the main actors to join.

Liu Peiqiang, Tu Hengyu, Zhou Zhezhi.

They will be the three most important characters in this "The Wandering Earth" movie.

Liu Lang decided to get the actors of these main roles to join first.
