After listening to Zhang Yi's words, all the people present were shocked. Although even after the controllable nuclear fusion technology is successfully mastered, the tonnage of the spacecraft they can build can only be limited to less than 50,000 tons, but no matter

No matter how you say it, it is better than the current ones. You must know that the spaceships they build now can only weigh about 4,000 tons, and there is no way to compare.

"Okay, let's talk about controllable nuclear technology first. After all, this technology is still under development. Although there has been a qualitative breakthrough in technology, success is not far away, but even if it is successful, it still needs to be

Miniaturization, only after the miniaturization is successful can it be used on battleships, so we have to wait.

Now let’s talk about our first spaceship first!

I think you all know very well that our first spacecraft is a scientific research ship that conducts scientific research and reconnaissance for one day, so it will definitely conduct deep space scientific surveys in the future, such as the major planets in the inner solar system and the outer solar system.

Various planets and moons.

Of course, the first mission after this spacecraft is built is to investigate Mars and conduct manned landings," Zhang Yi said.

Hearing this, Luo Jianping asked Zhang Yi: "Mr. Zhang! Does manned landing on Mars mean that we want to build a Mars base?"

"Yes! However, according to the discussions among experts from various countries in our sky program, we will not build large-scale residential bases on Mars in a short period of time, because Mars does not have the same gravity as the moon.

It is suitable for people to live on it for a long time.

The moon is okay. Because it is very close to our earth, it only takes a few hours to return by a space shuttle. Moreover, during this period, our group's genetic optimization medicine has been mass-produced, so as long as it is taken

If you use genetic optimizers, then even ordinary people can live on the moon for ten days and a half, and there will be no problem.

The distance between Mars and the Earth is really too far. If you want to fly from the Earth to Mars, the journey only takes ten days and a half. This is beyond the reach of ordinary people. At the same time, although the gravity of Mars is compared to that of the Moon,

It is larger, but it is also far lower than the earth. The survival time of ordinary people on it for a few months is already the limit, so Mars is not suitable for large-scale human migration for the time being.

Unless that day human technology can completely transform Mars so that the gravity of Mars reaches a level similar to that of the Earth. Of course, artificial gravity technology can also be used, but it is indeed not suitable for immigration now.

So after we build the spacecraft, although we say we will build a large number of bases on Mars, in our plan, these bases will not be used as civilian bases, but purely military bases, and most of the bases are

It is an unmanned base." Zhang Yi said.

After the meeting, Zhang Yi, led by Luo Jianping, the person in charge of the Lunar Spacecraft Manufacturing Center, walked towards the production area of ​​the spacecraft manufacturing center.

The production area of ​​the lunar spacecraft manufacturing center is a completely closed factory area. All the work of introducing the spacecraft will be carried out inside. The workers here do not need to look at any life-support equipment at all when working. Of course, the mechanical skeleton is still

It needs to be worn. After all, the human body is very fragile, and there are quite a few work items in the process of manufacturing spacecraft that are quite dangerous. Therefore, after wearing skeletal armor, personal safety is more guaranteed, and at the same time, it has the assistance of exoskeleton armor.

, work efficiency is also higher.

After arriving at the production area, he saw that a huge spaceship was under intense construction in the dock, and most of the entire spaceship had been completed, with only a small part of the hull still under construction.

At the same time, countless construction workers wearing exoskeleton armor were working around this behemoth like ants.

Although this huge spaceship is the first spaceship built by their Colorful Stone Group, and this spaceship is also the first real spaceship built by the entire earth civilization, this spaceship

It was not named after the famous ancient weapons of the Great China Empire according to the previous naming method of their Colorful Stone Group, but was directly named by them as the "Ziwei Star No. 1" scientific research expedition team. The reason why it was named "Ziwei Star"

It was named because ultraviolet rays had extraordinary significance in ancient China.

Since the "Ziweixing 1" scientific research and investigation site is a real spacecraft, the structure of the spacecraft is fundamentally different from the previous aerospace aircraft produced by their Colorful Stone Group. The entire spacecraft is not as common as aircraft in the atmosphere.

The wing part is more like a submarine, but it is different from a submarine in that there is no command platform, and the entire spacecraft is closer to a teardrop shape than a submarine.

The Ziweixing 1 spacecraft is 132.3 meters long and 32 meters wide. Compared with previous space planes, it can be described as a giant.

The most important thing is that the Ziweixing 1 spacecraft is enough to carry the necessary materials needed for hundreds of people to survive for several years. It can also carry a large number of scientific research equipment. After all, this is a spacecraft specially designed and produced for scientific research and exploration of the universe.

spaceship.

Although this spacecraft has a displacement of thousands of tons and the living materials carried on it can sustain the lives of hundreds of people for several years, compared to the vast universe, this spacecraft is still too small, so he

It is said that the spacecraft's range of activities can only be limited to the eight planetary circles of the solar system, and it cannot go out to conduct exploration in the wider space of the solar system.

Of course, this is already the most advanced spacecraft in human civilization today.

The main energy system of the Ziweixing 1 spacecraft uses the most advanced reactor technology in human civilization. Of course, such a huge spacecraft cannot have only one nuclear reactor. The five nuclear reactors on this spacecraft are

It can provide enough energy for the spacecraft. In order to allow this 4,000-ton spacecraft to fly and maintain strong power, this spacecraft is equipped with hundreds of engines with a thrust of more than 100 tons.

Fortunately, since the spacecraft manufacturing center is on the moon, and the moon's gravity is only 6/1 of the earth's, more than a hundred engines with a thrust of about 100 tons can already send this behemoth into space. If it were on the earth,

Then it is impossible to send this spacecraft into space with more than a hundred engines. The number of engines must be at least six times more. If factors such as the earth's air resistance are also taken into account, then the number of engines required will be even more.

.

In fact, even for today's Colorful Stone Group, it is no longer easy to install more than a hundred engines on a spacecraft. It can be said that as long as there is free space at the back of the spacecraft, they have already been installed.
Chapter completed!
