The success of controlled nuclear fusion has brought about a turbulence that has quickly affected all aspects of society.

The people see the projects of major factories in full swing, so their expectations for a better life are increasing day by day.

Of course, the number of human resources is limited, and how to allocate resources, develop industry, and promote people's livelihood is also a big problem. Therefore, the government held a new development conference as quickly as possible.

This development meeting was held not in the royal shelter, but in the new mothership.

About a thousand experts from all walks of life came to the newly developed mothership, and they looked at all aspects of the place curiously.

That's right, the new mothership can barely live after several months of construction.

Although it looks a bit ugly, it looks like a large dark blue stone with flagella on the surface.

But what's the problem? Wrap it with a layer of metal on the outside and then build a space port, will it become modern?

After detailed argumentation, many experts from Oriental Laboratory believe that the manufacturing cost of the second "nuclear fusion demonstration reactor" will only be about 20% of the first one.

After all, when successful, a large amount of exploration process can be directly saved and the manufacturing cost will be greatly reduced.

Moreover, this nuclear fusion device should be placed in the new mothership.

The subspace is very stable. If Zhang Ran closes the gate to the subspace, external crises will be difficult to affect it. Even relying on Zhang Ran’s creation ability, humans have very strong combat power in the subspace. Zhang Ran alone is comparable to all the armies.

However, humans have low combat effectiveness in the real universe. In addition to this new mothership, the former mothership "Ark" and other seaguard shuttles, that is, the level of a three-legged cat. It is far from enough to be able to make up for war and collect materials.

Material scarcity is still a long-term problem.

Human beings want to develop, but they cannot do without matter.

Controllable nuclear fusion solves the energy problem, but cannot solve the problem of material scarcity.

Even controllable nuclear fusion itself consumes a small amount of material.

Without material replenishment, human beings will still fall into the dilemma of resource shortage.

Therefore, in the real universe, a mothership with sufficient war and industrial capabilities seems very necessary.

"Is this our loot?"

This was the first time Zhang Ran entered this new mothership, looked around, and touched the cold walls of Bingbing again. "It looks like a stone on the outside, but it is not good-looking, but there is a unique world inside. It really feels like an interstellar civilization."

The appearance in front of me is completely different from what I imagined. There are no bright red internal organs or various exposed blood vessels, but instead present a blue science fiction style.

These blue things are considered the internal "flesh" of the "Void Amoeba".

It is not an organic matter, but a material like a stone, containing a large amount of silicon and phosphorus elements.

It is harder, harder than cement ground, and more tougher than steel. Scientists named this new material "silicon alloy".

"Silicon alloy" probably accounts for about 80% of the mass of the Void Amoeba, which is about 100 billion tons.

Zhang Ran always feels extremely exaggerated when he uses someone's "corpse" as a spaceship.

The gravity environment under your feet is about 0.92 times the gravity of the earth, and it feels a little light.

There is no better or more exciting solution than this!

A big ship with a diameter of 12 kilometers!

The weapons studio in front is prioritizing the installation of an ultra-large electromagnetic cannon.

That's right, the large electromagnetic cannon is the strongest interstellar weapon developed by humans so far.

The bullets it fires can reach 6,000 kilometers per second, which is two percent of the speed of light!

The power is quite impressive. The powerful kinetic energy alone is enough to penetrate thick armor. Bullets made of radioactive elements will cause a big explosion after hitting the target.

The only drawback is that the super-large electromagnetic gun requires a long acceleration pipeline.

Only a large spacecraft with a diameter of 12 kilometers has enough space to install this thing. Ordinary small spacecraft is really not good.

As for the high-equivalent hydrogen bombs... there are about 500, and the number is not too many. Anyway, just build it slowly, don't be impatient.

When you drive this big spacecraft and navigate the universe, you will be confident at once.

The expert group around Zhang Ran also discussed it.

"...It's not like the former Yuyan and Ark. Even if they are hit by a meteorite the size of a thumb, it is a catastrophic accident. The shell of this large spacecraft is one kilometer thick. As long as you don't really deliberately hit a trillion-ton asteroid, nothing will happen."

After visiting the general construction project, everyone came to the conference room and sat in order.

Zhang Ran sat on the rostrum and said a few briefly: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our new mothership!"

"This year is a year of great harvest. We have achieved great victories in the foreign war and have also innovated ourselves internally."

“The achievements made in both technology and society seem good…”

“This is the result of our joint efforts!”

Slap sex!

There was warm applause in the room, and I can’t be satisfied with the harvest this year.

"Everyone has seen that this mothership is still under construction. I feel that...we are now digging treasures from gold mines, and the materials we dug out are all new materials urgently needed by major factories. Although most of these materials have to be used to repair new motherships."

Everyone who attended the meeting was in a good mood.

Yes, what else is more pleasant than the future full of expectations?

Zhang Ran paused for a while: "Therefore, the theme of this meeting is: technology, development and military security."

"The past development plans are no longer appropriate. Changes are faster than expected, and we must formulate new plans. Especially military issues must also be considered."

"The civil strife inside our humans has basically been solved, but aliens and so on... may be more than imagined. We must have the ability to protect ourselves!"

Zhou Chengfeng, who was sitting on the left, said in a calm tone: "I don't think it's necessary to recruit soldiers. Now our 200,000 soldiers are enough. In the interstellar era, soldiers are in essence but not in many, and the training costs for each soldier are very high."

"But the number of military equipment must be large. Currently, the GDP occupied by military development is about 7.2% of the overall GDP, which is actually quite large, but... it's still a little slower."

Zhou Chengfeng’s meaning is very simple...money!

It is hard to move without money! Human productivity is still limited.

Your Highness...or...

Zhang Ran, who was rich and powerful, had a faint pain in his liver and coughed: "Everyone, let's decide the name of this new mothership first. It will be an important survival guarantee for us in the future for a long time."

Ten minutes later, after everyone voted, a name stood out.

"Oriental Panstone"!

If there are no flagella on the surface, it really looks like a huge meteorite and is harder than a rock, giving people a sense of solidity and reliability.

Oriental Panshi, abbreviated as Panshi.

The spacecraft has about 0.1-1.2 times the gravity of the earth. The closer it is to the bottom, the smaller the gravity environment. On the contrary, the higher the gravity at the top, it can even reach 1.2 times the gravity of the earth.

This means that the gravity of a certain plane is almost the same as the earth's environment.

Humans can survive more comfortably here.

"There is a suitable gravity zone of about 160 square kilometers. This number is actually not small, and there is no problem living for one million people. It has a large surface area and good heat dissipation ability."

Professor Fan of the Ark Laboratory, also the main person in charge of the Oriental Panshi project, focused on introducing the internal structure of the spacecraft.

"Of course, ordinary civilians will not live in this mothership."

"Overall, Kunlun Mountain Sanctuary is more comfortable and safer."

As for the meteorite that made great contributions, it lay in a low gravity area in pieces.

These residues are roughly estimated to be about 500 billion tons.

The 12,000 tons of the past shrank by more than half, and it feels heartbreaking to think about it.

Many substances are directly decomposed and evaporated in the previous strong light.

After discussion, many industry-related people believe that there is no need to move this meteorite to move it, and there is no need to take time to transport the meteorite back to subspace.

As long as the mothership "Oriental Panshi" is developed and perfected, ore is mined on site, and then smelted into metal ingots, the substances inside can be utilized.

Moreover, to build this spacecraft, a large amount of metal materials is required, internal decoration, construction of space ports, transportation equipment, and repair of the spacecraft itself all require materials.

After discussing this for about half a day, I got relatively good plans for industrial transfer, population relocation, mothership restoration, etc.

In the end, of course it was the main thing. Zhang Ran faintly covered his liver and asked, "Do you have any problems in the process of development?"

Lin Qiuyue’s dream “I want it all” is naturally impossible…

A specialist soon replied: "Your Highness, we are trying to fix the huge hole that was made by a meteorite."

"The current number of workers is 34,000. It is expected that the preliminary repair will be completed in three months, but further repair will take more time and a lot of resources."

"The area of ​​the hole alone is 36 square kilometers. If titanium alloy is laid with 20 cm thick for repair, 20 billion tons of metal is required."

"We're now digging out the silicon alloy and repairing the holes, but it's a bit slow."

20 billion tons!

Zhang Ran was really shocked by this number. Human productivity is good for 100 million tons a year. He touched the 4,200 yuan in his pocket... It seems like he can't stand it if he comes to tens of billions or tens of billions of dollars.

Forget it, it’s nothing if the hole is not repaired, just treat it as a large warehouse.

Immediately afterwards, another expert said: "The rated carrying population of the Oriental Panshi is 1.5 million to 1.8 million, and most of them are soldiers and workers. They do not involve agriculture, commerce and scientific research populations. As long as the internal transportation system is built, it will be very convenient to exchange materials with the subspace."
