After inspecting Galaxy Aerospace's first anti-gravity aircraft production line, Qin Yi walked non-stop towards a larger factory.
Factory Building A001 is a factory specially used to manufacture large-scale anti-gravity spacecraft. The entire factory is too huge.
It is hundreds of meters high, hundreds of meters wide, and a terrifying ten kilometers long. A factory building stands on the earth like a mountain range.
Because the factory is so big, Qin Yi and others are not allowed to take the internal open-top cars. If they have to walk, it will definitely be very tiring and time-consuming.
Such a huge factory building has many doors. In addition to the main doors at both ends, the doors on the side used for transporting parts are also very large. When they are opened and closed, it seems like a huge wall is moving.
The huge factory building was also in full swing, with a large number of scientists, engineers, researchers, and many newly recruited college students engineers busy around the two huge anti-gravity spacecraft.
These two anti-gravity spacecraft are very huge, like a huge house. They have not been completely built yet. The skeleton and internal structure of the spacecraft can still be seen in some places, but the hugeness of the spacecraft can still be seen.
The two spaceships were so big that when building them, engineers and scientists had to design many mechanical tripods, towers, etc. around the spacecraft just like building a house.
The top of a huge factory building also requires heavy-duty lifting machines and equipment, specifically used to transport large parts for assembly.
Unlike small anti-gravity aircraft, large anti-gravity spacecraft cannot be produced in an assembly line manner. Just like battleships, aircraft carriers, ships, etc., they must be produced to order.
In other words, although each anti-gravity spacecraft has similar technology, they are all order-based products, and each spacecraft is different.
Arriving at the factory in an open-top car, Qin Yi looked up at the huge spaceship in front of him. It was like a huge house and seemed to be as high as the roof.
"Lushan Hao~"
On the huge spaceship, three huge characters on the outer shell make people know the name of this spaceship at once.
Qin Yi is also very familiar with the two spaceships in front of him, the 'Lushan' and 'Huashan'. These two spaceships are both large spaceships that Qin Yi personally participated in the design and research of.
The two spaceships are of the same level as the "Houyi" and "Chang'e" manufactured by the country. This level of spacecraft is called a first-class spacecraft, which is the largest that humans can currently build.
type spacecraft.
The two spacecraft are different from the spacecraft manufactured by the country. Because Galaxy Technology Group does not have the power to conduct nuclear tests and build nuclear reactors, there is no way to use nuclear power for power. It can only use atomic matrix batteries to carry huge electrical energy.
Drive anti-gravity engines.
The energy consumption of a large anti-gravity spacecraft is extremely terrifying and terrible. Only by using nuclear power can the country meet its huge energy needs.
Moreover, with nuclear reactors, the first-level spacecraft manufactured by the country does not need to add fuel frequently. A one-time replenishment of nuclear fuel is enough to last for a long time.
However, because nuclear reactors must be built at the same time as spaceships are being built, the construction time and cycle of first-level spacecrafts built by the country, such as the Houyi and Chang'e, are very long.
China Aerospace Industry Group, which has almost gathered the power of the country, can only build a maximum of 10 spacecraft in a year.
It takes a month to build a large anti-gravity spacecraft. This speed is too slow. From last year to now, the country has only built a dozen spacecraft.
The construction of nuclear reactors is even more troublesome than the construction of anti-gravity engines, because once something goes wrong with nuclear energy, it will be very scary and terrible, which also seriously slows down the construction of anti-gravity spacecraft.
But the two spacecrafts of Galaxy Aerospace, the "Lushan" and "Huashan", are different. Because the atomic matrix batteries used carry electrical energy to drive the anti-gravity engines, so in terms of construction speed, the two spacecrafts are faster.
The construction speed is very fast.
As soon as the Qingyun aerospace fighter came out, Qin Yi led the team to non-stop research on large-scale anti-gravity spacecraft. By now in December, the skeletons of the two spacecrafts have been built, and the anti-gravity engines have been installed. The remaining
It is estimated that these will be completed by the end of the month.
After all, it only took Qin Yi less than 5 months from research and development to completion. Although Qin Yi, Lu Qingwei, Liu Peiqiang and others are the originators of this anti-gravity technology, this speed is still very fast.
amazing.
Moreover, these two spacecrafts are just for practice. Later, as the technology becomes more and more mature and the conditions in all aspects become better and better, the construction speed will be even faster.
The entire huge factory is more than ten kilometers long. As long as there are enough people, Galaxy Aerospace can start building 10 spacecraft at the same time.
At least hundreds of large anti-gravity spacecraft can be built in a year, which is many times faster than the country's construction speed.
Of course, the speed is much faster than the construction speed here in the country, because there is no need to build a nuclear reactor, so the speed must be much faster.
But the two spacecrafts, the "Lushan" and the "Huashan", are both real electric rats.
In order to drive the anti-gravity engine, no spacecraft is equipped with hundreds of second-generation atomic matrix batteries. Each second-generation atomic matrix battery can carry tens of thousands of kilowatt-hours of electricity. Hundreds of batteries in total can carry millions of kilowatt-hours at a time.
electricity.
Millions of kilowatt-hours of electricity may seem huge, but it is only enough to fly for less than 2 hours. Even if the cheapest electricity costs 50 cents per kilowatt-hour, it is only 50
0,000, which means that it consumes 250,000 yuan of electrical energy for one hour of flight.
Fortunately, this large anti-gravity spacecraft flies in space and relies on inertia most of the time. The time when it really needs to use the anti-gravity engine is only during the take-off and landing processes.
So even though it takes less than 2 hours, it is enough.
Qin Yi originally planned to build these two spaceships for his own use.
There is a lot of pressure from the top now, and they are vigorously advocating the interstellar space age and interstellar mining. However, due to the lack of leaders, until now, there has not been much movement across the country.
In November, Qin Yi went to the Imperial Capital for a meeting. As the meetings went on, Qin Yi knew clearly that the superiors hoped that Galaxy Technology could be the leader.
Therefore, Qin Yi needs to take the lead in the field of interstellar space and lunar mining, and be the first to enter these two fields, and he must also make a lot of money so that others behind him can see the gold everywhere, so that he can promote the interstellar space era.
arrival.
There is no spaceship here, so naturally everything is empty talk. The two spaceships are all prepared for myself.
However, while in the imperial capital, Qin Yi successfully sold a spaceship to the Moon Mining Group, so of the two spaceships, the 'Lushan' is going to be kept for his own use, and the 'Huashan' will be used by the end of December.
It will be delivered to the Lunar Mining Group for use.
"Qingwei~"
"How is the research on lunar mining technology going?"
Looking at the huge spaceship in front of him, Qin Yi was also very satisfied.
Because they want to be a leader and set an example for everyone, Galaxy Aerospace has also decided that as soon as the spacecraft is built, the first thing to do is to go to the moon to mine and dig gold.
The moon is very rich in resources. Mining on the moon is definitely very profitable and profitable. The piece of gold nugget brought back by the last manned landing on the moon is worth more than 300 billion. If you are lucky enough to find something particularly precious on the moon
Rare metals, a perfect way to get rich overnight.
One reason is to be the leader of the country, and another reason is that Galaxy Aerospace requires a large amount of rare metals to manufacture anti-gravity engines.
Rare metals are basically very expensive on earth. The key is that their reserves are scarce. If Galaxy Aerospace wants to manufacture anti-gravity aircraft on a large scale in the future, it must have a stable and large enough supply of rare metals.
Qin Yi thought about it, and it seems that only mining on the moon can meet the requirements of Galaxy Aerospace. If he waits for others to go to the moon for mining, the speed is too slow.
It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others~
And go to the moon to mine by yourself. The moon is an unclaimed land. You can mine it casually without paying taxes. This cost can be reduced to a minimum. In the future, the cost of anti-gravity engines can plummet, which can further promote the interstellar space era.
arrival.
The Galaxy Group must go to the moon for mining. Although Qin Yi has already invested in the Moon Mining Group, it is just an investment method for Qin Yi. The real focus is naturally on his wholly-owned Galaxy Aerospace.
"There is no difficulty in lunar mining. I have already led people to study it clearly. Now all we need is a spaceship."
Lu Qingwei answered very casually.
In fact, lunar mining looks very high-end, but as Lu Qingwei said, it does not have much technical content. With the current technological level of the earth, as long as you can land on the moon, you can clearly mine on the moon.
Now the most critical thing is missing: the spaceship.
ps: Based on the current technology of the earth, if the problem of spacecraft is solved, mining on the moon will not be difficult~~ What do you think?
