Chapter 544 How to leave the earth?

To create it, it is necessary to send its corresponding metal seeds to space orbit outside the earth, or directly on the moon before construction can start.

This first step is simple. All rockets that can launch satellites on Earth can be completed.

Then, construction in space is started, which requires that the people on earth constantly send raw materials to space.

If a spacecraft can grow at least 200,000 tons, then it needs to send at least 200,000 tons of materials to the sky. To make it fully mature, it will take 1 million tons.

But the last time the Earthlings have had a lot of effort in space. Not to mention 1 million tons of materials, even 200,000 tons is a dream.

But someone immediately thought that the first type of reconnaissance aircraft on the spacecraft ahead could enter space at will.

However, these reconnaissance aircraft themselves weigh only 10 tons, and the load capacity of a single frame is about 10 tons.

In this way, the materials that can be brought with you may not exceed 10 tons at a time.

In this way, it takes a total of 100,000 tonnes to fully mature a spacecraft.

They all know that there are 4 seeds of the first patrol ship, each with 32 aircraft on it.

If we calculate based on each plane, it takes 781 days in total.

It is still quite feasible to build a super spacecraft with a 1 million tons-level capacity that can sail freely in the solar system in more than two years.

But the premise is that you must first build 4 patrol ships and learn how to use them.

Scholars have discussed a lot. The last key point is to use the patrol ship's carrier-based aircraft to send the raw materials for the construction of the spacecraft to space.

Twenty minutes passed quickly. Chen Chen woke up on time, stretched his waist and stood up, and walked to the front of the big screen in the conference room again.

The scientists who had been waiting for a long time almost immediately began to ask questions: "Mr. Chen Chen, how to build the previous patrol ship? What raw materials are needed and how much time will it take to complete one?"

Chen Chen asked in confusion: "Aren't you interested in spaceships before? Why did you suddenly ask about the patrol ships?"

Mr. Wu spread his hands: "Because everyone believes that a 1 million-ton spacecraft can only be built in interstellar space, which requires sending a large amount of raw materials to space space.

"Then, everyone thinks that the fastest way of transportation that can be thought of at present is the carrier-based aircraft on patrol ships. They can break through the atmosphere, and the single-size carrying capacity is about 10 tons.

"There are 4 patrol ships in total, 128 aircraft in total, and they can travel each day. They can transport enough raw materials into space in about two years."

"Uh..." Chen Chen was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then couldn't help but smile, "Although it is feasible to transport this kind of plane, the speed is too slow! In fact, there are more efficient ways."

"A more efficient method?" Everyone was stunned. At this moment, no one thought about what Chen Chen said, "Forgive us for being stupid, don't know what the specific method is?"

Chen Chen smiled and said, "Don't we have the last type of spacecraft? We all know that we have three types, a total of 8 metal seeds.

"Four of them are colonial star internal patrol ships, three galaxy frigates, and then one last, it is a space mining ship."

"Space Mining Ship?" Hearing this name, everyone who was present suddenly reacted.

Space mining ships naturally have the ability to collect minerals from the moon, Mars, and other stars in the solar system.

In this way, the raw materials for building spacecraft can be collected directly in space without having to provide them from Earth.

Chen Chen didn't keep it a secret and directly let Xingchen open the last structural diagram.

Chen Chen pointed to the picture on the big screen and introduced: "This kind of mining ship is specially designed to collect and refine various metals, collect and store various fuels in galaxies, and provide them to other spacecraft for use.

“It comes with various forms of mineral collection tools, as well as large and complex types of automated robots.

"There are also metal refining and resource storage systems inside. The key is that they have the ability to enter and exit the atmosphere by themselves.

"The tonnage of this kind of mining ship can reach 500,000 tons after full, but when it is completely empty, it is less than 100,000 tons.

"Because most of its internal space is used to store various minerals and energy warehouses.

"The structure and distribution of the warehouse are specially designed and when completely cleared, the spacecraft can compress the warehouse volume and reduce the overall volume very much.

"However, this reduction is only convenient for entering and exiting the atmosphere, and the resistance is smaller. When it is active in outer space, it basically does not use this function.

"With this ship, we can first collect iron ore and helium three directly from the moon. Iron is used to build spacecraft. Helium three provides power to spacecraft inside and outside the atmosphere and provide energy for future earth."

After listening to the instructions of the mining ship, most of the listeners breathed a sigh of relief. With this ship, they no longer had to worry about energy issues.

Many people began to imagine future space plans with their companions around them with excitement.

The more I think about it, the more excited I feel. It turns out that many things are completely impossible to achieve and can be completed at any time.

The plan that used to exist only and delusion can be implemented now.

At the very least, after the spacecraft is built, traveling about the moon may be as easy as an ordinary flight.

Even if you explore Mars, it may be just a slightly longer distance trip.

However, amid the laughter and joy, several people could not laugh.

One of the top military officials looked at the noisy crowd around him and suddenly frowned and said:

"Mr. Chen Chen, since you started talking about the spacecraft, I have always been a little confused. According to your statement, this spacecraft can only be built in space, right?"

After hearing this, Chen Chen nodded slightly and said, "That's right, because this spacecraft is specially designed for the space environment, the main structure does not consider the internal conditions of the atmosphere at all.

"If it is forcibly built inside the atmosphere, it will not be able to fly out."

After hearing Chen Chen's words, the senior executive couldn't help but ask:

"But these metal seeds are thrown inside the earth? If we were not intervened, they would absorb metal resources in the atmosphere, and then after they mature, how would they leave the earth?

"These metal seeds, the creators or releasers of these self-growing spacecraft, cannot have considered this situation, right? So, how did they leave the earth?"

After hearing this senior executive question, everyone present suddenly reacted.

Yes, since this spacecraft can only be moved in space, why throw the seeds into the atmosphere?

Isn't this a total waste?
