Zhang Yi stayed in the space command center of the moon base all day long and did not return to Earth.

On the morning of the second day, he did not go to the lunar command center to continue observing the Mars exploration situation.

Because he knew that even if he didn't go, if anything unexpected was discovered during the detection process, Xiang Juncai and the others would tell him.

So this morning he was going to the spacecraft manufacturing base on the moon.

Although the spacecraft manufacturing base on the moon has been completed at this time, and the construction of the first spacecraft has also begun, the first spacecraft they built is still a very small spacecraft.

The displacement is less than 4,000 tons, but as a real spaceship, this one under construction is definitely much larger than an aerospace vehicle.

However, this spacecraft is not an armed spacecraft, but a scientific research vessel, so it is only equipped with the most basic self-defense weapons.

But after Zhang Yi and the others arrived at the lunar spacecraft manufacturing base, he said to Huang Xiru beside him, "Sister Huang! Inform Luo Jianming, the person in charge of the base, and other senior officials to come to Conference Room 1. I want to hold a meeting."

"Okay, I'll go notify you right away."

More than 10 minutes later, all the senior officials of the base had arrived in the conference room.

"Is everyone here?" About half an hour later, Zhang Yi turned to Luo Jianming and asked.

"Mr. Zhang, except for the horseman who is responsible for the installation of the spacecraft and engine, other senior officials of the spacecraft manufacturing base have already arrived." Luo Jianping took a look at the people in the conference room and then said.

"Okay, now that everyone is almost here, let's get started. What we are mainly discussing today is the design of our first real space battleship.

I think you all here are very clear about why countries on earth have established space programs. Its most fundamental purpose is to enable human civilization to continue in the universe and to have a certain ability to fight back when facing alien civilizations.

, in the face of natural disasters, they can also maintain the continuation of their own race.

However, there is not much time left for us now. Until now, our earth civilization has not had a real spaceship, let alone a real space battleship. The aerospace planes we have developed before,

Air and space fighters can basically only fight in near-earth space and have no ability to project long-distance combat power at all, so we must have long-distance combat capabilities, especially combat capabilities in the outer solar system." Zhang Yi said.

After listening to Zhang Yi's words, the senior management of the Lunar Spacecraft Manufacturing Base fell silent. After waiting for a long time, someone stood up and asked Zhang Yi: "Mr. Zhang! I have a question. I hope you can give us a definite answer. If according to the

If we follow the normal procedures, our human space program does not need to be in such a hurry. Now the earth's orbit is established in a large space, and then we will slowly build a lunar base, mine the moon's minerals, and then start designing a real spacecraft.

But Mr. Zhang, you are demanding so much time from us now, has something happened, or is our human civilization really threatened by foreign civilization?"

After listening to the words of this executive, Zhang Yi did not answer directly, but said: "I can't say anything about this matter now. After all, these things are the secrets of the entire human civilization, and it is not yours now."

You can know that, but one thing you have to remember is that the work you are doing now is absolutely related to the safety of mankind. I hope that you can develop the first real space battleship of our human civilization as soon as possible."

After listening to Zhang Yi's words, the senior executive nodded and replied: "Okay! Mr. Zhang, we will do our best."

I still have some impression of this executive Zhang Yi. Although this executive is also an expert in aerospace, he was not hired from the system, so he is not prepared to tell him about foreign civilizations.

, if you tell him that once he spills the beans, it will definitely cause great panic in the earth society. After all, the countries around the world are not ready yet.

"How is the manufacturing of our first spacecraft going now? When will it be completed?" Zhang Yi asked Luo Jianping again.

"Mr. Zhang! Since our first spaceship is a trial-production spacecraft, and this spaceship is also a scientific research ship, the current progress is very smooth. If we continue according to the current progress, it will be completed in about a month.

The outfitting has begun trial sea trials." Luo Jianping replied.

"Not bad! You have done a very good job, but you have to speed up the design of real space battleships. After all, you have the top battleship designers in our space program countries. Although these ship designers are basically

Before I came here, I was designing surface combatants, but after all, I am the top designer among us humans." Zhang Yi said.

"Okay! Mr. Zhang, we will definitely speed up the design of the spacecraft. However, Mr. Zhang, according to the feedback from experts in our center, due to energy and power issues, the spacecraft we are currently manufacturing will not

The tonnage limit is very large, and the maximum cannot exceed 4,500 tons. Once the weight exceeds this tonnage, the warship will not be able to lift off, let alone leave the lunar orbit.

Just like the scientific research spacecraft we are building now, we originally expected to build a scientific research spacecraft with a tonnage of more than 10,000 tons and capable of working and living in space for a long time.

But now our first human spacecraft has a displacement of less than 4,000 tons, which is more than half of what we expected. At the same time, the entertainment equipment and scientific research equipment on the ship are much less."

Luo Jianping said.

"Luo Gong! There is no way around this. The energy source used on this spacecraft is now the most advanced nuclear power plant technology on earth. Even the nuclear reactor technology on the most advanced aircraft carrier on earth is far behind.

It's not as good as what's on our spaceship, so that's all we can do now.

But I think it won’t be long before the controllable nuclear fusion technology we are developing will have a breakthrough. By then, the tonnage limit for us to build space battleships will be much smaller. Of course, if we want to build a warship with no tonnage limit at all, we only need to

We can wait until we develop anti-gravity technology, otherwise, according to our calculations, a 50,000-ton spacecraft is already the limit, because no matter how big it is, it will not be able to break through the moon's atmosphere, unless we build it directly in the universe."
