As Meier chuckled at the mention of Zhukovsky Rykov raised an eyebrow, a folder was slid over to him from across the table as Meier shortly replied "There is your Orbital Elevator Key , and more materials needed. Now i'll ask you again. Can you get it done in a relatively quick time? I dont like wasting resources on a Project of I dont know how long. We've got plans, and we need to realize them."
As he read through the folder he ran a hand through his hair in thought, trying to do the calculations in his head and hoping that the number he could crunch would be suitable for the Vice-Premier.
As he finished he frowned with an slightly unsure nod.
"It's...Possible to get it done in five to six months, however the shifts would be extremely long and I will have no idea how reliable the Docking Ring will be once we bring it online and start running it through it's paces, I'll need most of my crews to pull double shifts and put a hold on holidays until it is ready...But that's the best I can give you, Ageria could likely build it in less time however that's not an option...What would be helpful is if we can study the Docking Ring the Colonial Republic is in possession of in Coronado at Yuma...It would help give us an idea on developing our own..." he replied cautiously...
