If a 200-million-ton object were placed on the earth, there would be no way to move it except the earth itself.
Of course, on the earth, apart from the earth, there is no other object that can reach this huge mass.
But in space, 200 million tons is nothing. Not to mention the eight major planets in the solar system, there are millions of asteroids in the asteroid belt. If you pick any one, its mass will be 100 million tons.
to calculate.
"0.2 standard power, which means it can only push a 200-million-ton asteroid."
Qin Yi silently calculated in his heart that the Qinglong spacecraft Qin Yi would mainly use it to go to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids, and then use the asteroids to smelt directly in space to create large-scale integral castings to create more powerful
spaceship.
"It's still too weak. With only 200 million tons of thrust, it can only haul back about 100 million tons of asteroids at a time."
Qin Yi couldn't help but shake his head. The powerful power of this second-generation anti-gravity engine could not be used at all.
"Take your time. When our space smelting plant is built, we can cast the overall casting, and then we can fully exert its powerful power."
"It's not that easy. Even if it is a monolithic casting, there is no way to fully utilize its powerful power. We still need to work hard on basic materials and develop more powerful materials."
"Indeed, materials science is a basic subject, which almost determines the height of many industries. In the past, we have never been able to build an ideal engine when building aircraft engines. A big part of it is the material problem."
"I heard that the Institute of Materials Science has developed many new materials. I don't know if any of them are suitable for us. I will definitely go and take a look."
Several people are discussing with each other in the virtual world. Because it is in the virtual world, the communication between several people can be regarded as using brain waves, which is very fast.
Here, with the arrival of Qin Yi, the entire huge 'Dragon's Nest' space factory also began to officially start construction.
The 'Qinglong' spacecraft is really too big. It is definitely the largest spacecraft ever built by mankind. To build such a huge spacecraft, it requires more than just an engine.
From the overall design to the design of every detail, the entire spacecraft is definitely a very huge project. Qin Yi also used more than 100,000 scientists and engineers, which took nearly a year. The design alone
The drawings are enough to fill several rooms.
I saw an anti-gravity spacecraft slowly approaching the huge 'Dragon's Nest' space factory from the void. Soon, it parked on the berth.
The huge hatch slowly opened, and the robotic arm began to carry out the long steel bars from the spacecraft. Each of these steel bars was 20 meters long, 50 centimeters thick, and one meter wide, used for laying.
The keel of the Seiryu spaceship.
Each steel bar is individually customized from the steel bar company, and has designed inlay gaps at both ends. When two bars are connected together, they can be perfectly connected.
The robotic arm transported these large steel bars to the dock where the keel was built, and then began to lay the keel of the 'Blue Dragon' spacecraft.
Naturally, Qin Yi, Yang Hongyan, and Zhang Jian would not miss this moment, and arrived early at the dock where the keel was laid.
The three people were wearing spacesuits and sitting on a chair-like chair. The chair had a robotic arm that could be extended. They only needed to use a virtual machine to control the robotic arm, and the people sitting on it could move quickly around the dock.
Of course, in space, because there is no gravity, it is naturally impossible to sit down. The main function is to fix and move quickly.
The dock where the keels were laid was directly exposed to space. At this time, many scientists and engineers, like Qin Yi, wore spacesuits and came to the place where the keels were laid with the assistance of robotic arms. They wanted to put all this together.
See clearly.
I saw two steel bars being slowly spliced together under the control of several robotic arms. The ends of the two steel bars have a mortise and tenon structure. After they are connected together, there are no gaps at the connection points, as if they are one body.
It is not easy to do this. This means that the gap is very small, so small that it is difficult to see with the naked eye. This requires an extremely high level of finishing. The connection between the two steel bars must be processed to an error as small as
Only a few strands.
It is not difficult to do this if it is a very small part. The lathe technology on the earth is very mature, and there are still a lot of companies that can process it to this level.
But this steel bar is 20 meters long, one meter wide, and 50 centimeters thick. It is not easy to process such a large piece of steel to such an extent.
Galaxy Technology Group spent tens of millions of dollars on each of these steel bars, a large part of which was because the processing was so difficult and each steel bar was custom-made.
The reason why it costs so much to build the keel is because the power of the second-generation anti-gravity engine is too powerful. If the spacecraft does not have a strong keel to support it, the engine will be enough to tear the spacecraft into pieces.
It is said that building a ship first builds the bones. Only with a strong keel can a powerful ship be built. Whether the ship is a ship sailing in the ocean or a ship used to fly in interstellar space, it will
It's the same principle.
The two keels are connected together using a mortise and tenon structure, and a nail needs to be nailed at the connection. Of course, this nail is also custom-made to fix things that bear stress.
After ordering the nail, the two steel bars were completely connected together, and the 40-meter-long stick walked, but this was only part of the keel.
The robotic arms began to be busy one after another, and the steel bars were continuously transported one after another, and began to be continuously connected under the control of the robotic arms.
Two months later, a huge keel appeared in the keel dock.
The keel of the spacecraft is different from the keel of the ocean on Earth. The keel of the ocean is only half of a sphere, while the keel of the Qinglong spacecraft is a whole, forming a complete ring.
, almost equivalent to the upper and lower keels of two ships sailing on the earth's oceans put together.
"Finally the keel is finished, the next step is to add flesh and blood to it~"
Wearing a spacesuit and with the help of a robotic arm, Yang Hongyan walked through this huge keel and carefully inspected every part of the keel.
Whether the keel is laid well or not is directly related to everything about the spacecraft. If the keel is receptive and has strong bearing capacity, it will naturally be able to better utilize the powerful power of the second-generation anti-gravity engine. On the contrary, if the keel is not laid well, it will naturally not work.
Ways to exert more powerful power.
Power determines everything about a spacecraft. Only with strong power can it fly faster and have more powerful transportation capabilities. Power determines the value of the spacecraft.
