The outer space of the earth is very busy, and huge spaceships are being completed at a terrifying speed.
A few months ago, it was just a skeleton. In the blink of an eye, a few months later, a huge spaceship appeared in space.
Mount Fuji Space City.
A large spaceship appeared next to the huge Mount Fuji Space City. This spaceship is full of streamlines and has a strong science fiction atmosphere.
A huge plaster flag is branded on it, and the three huge Chinese characters for "Kaguya" are also extremely eye-catching. If it weren't for the plaster flag next to it, everyone would think it was a spaceship made in China.
"Finally finished~"
Inside the Kaguya spaceship, Chief Engineer Omura Jiro carefully inspected every corner of the spacecraft. He felt very proud of every design and every detail of this huge spaceship that he had devoted his efforts to.
satisfy.
"Excellent, definitely the most first-class spacecraft."
Jiro Omura came to the cockpit of the spacecraft. The view here is very wide. You can see the busy scene of the entire outer space of the earth at a glance. The blue earth stands quietly in the void like a sapphire. A ship
Anti-gravity spaceships come and go in space, constantly rising and falling from the ground, giving you the feeling of seeing mountains and small mountains at a glance.
"Of course. This is the culmination of more than a year of hard work by hundreds of thousands of our elites. It is the embodiment of our Japanese technology and strength."
Next to Omura Jiro, Nakamura Masao nodded solemnly. He was the person sent by the superiors to inspect the Kaguya spacecraft, and his level was quite high.
"Omura-kun, thank you very much. Under your leadership, our scientists and engineers completed the project in just over a year."
"Uncle Sam's spacecraft is only half completed, the European Columbus is not even one-third complete, and the Polar Bear spacecraft is only half completed. We have a big lead. Thank you very much.
!”
Having said this, Nakamura Masao bowed to Omura Jiro very respectfully.
"This is what I should do. The Kaguya was able to be built in such a short period of time. This is the result of the joint efforts of all our citizens. I dare not take the greatest credit."
Omura Jiro shook his head quickly. He knew very well that in order to build the Kaguya spaceship, the whole of Japan was working hard. Ordinary people worked hard and made money so that they could have more funds to build this spaceship. As for the scientists,
And engineers, that's even more true.
Many people work day and night, and even go without sleep for several days. They are supposed to return to Earth to rest in a few days, but many people work in space for several months.
He almost became a cripple when he returned to the ground.
He sees everyone's dedication and efforts, which is why he is very proud. For a detail, they can go through many experiments over and over again, striving for perfection, which is reflected in the spirit of the craftsman.
Incisively and vividly.
"Omura-kun, you are so humble. Your contribution to this spaceship is seen by everyone. Your contribution is indispensable."
Nakamura Masao smiled, thought for a moment and said, "How big a gap do you think there is between our Kaguya spacecraft and the Azure Dragon spacecraft?"
"The Qinglong spacecraft has a mass of more than 1 million tons and is huge. It uses a new generation of anti-gravity engine developed by Galaxy Technology Group. It is very powerful and can drag an asteroid with a mass of 150 million tons.
"
"Although our Kaguya spacecraft is also huge, it uses 8 heavy-duty launch rockets to obtain power. Even if the 8 rockets are fully powered, it cannot reach the level of the Azure Dragon spacecraft. According to
According to our calculations, we can only drag an asteroid with a mass of 100 million tons at most."
"This is a technological gap, just like the gap between a steam engine and an internal combustion engine. Although we have perfected every aspect of it, this technological gap is like a chasm. We still need to master anti-gravity.
Technology will do.”
"Only anti-gravity technology is the real technology of the interstellar space age. Traditional rocket technology has too little thrust and too high cost. The key is that the fuel consumption is very fast."
Speaking of this, Omura Jiro seemed a little helpless and not confident enough. He was an expert in this field and knew very well that there was no comparability between the two spacecrafts.
"Then you think, can we use Kaguya to go to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids?"
Nakamura Masao nodded, then thought about it and asked, this is the issue that he is most concerned about, and it is also the issue that the whole of Japan is most concerned about right now.
The Kaguya spacecraft was finally built at a huge cost, but whether the spacecraft can be put into use and whether it can mine asteroids from the asteroid belt is the key and the most important thing.
"Okay, absolutely no problem."
Omura Jiro said with great certainty.
"However, we must calculate everything accurately. As a power system, rockets consume too much fuel. Although our spacecraft is large enough, most of the space must be used to store fuel."
"Going to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids requires at least 400 million kilometers back and forth. Although most of the time it relies on inertial flight, the departure and return stages are enough to consume 7788% of the fuel."
"When we get to the asteroid belt, we still need to search for the most cost-effective asteroid. This process is undetermined. If you are lucky, you can find a suitable asteroid and drag it back soon. If you are not lucky, if you don't have enough fuel by then, you can only do whatever you want.
Just drag an asteroid back."
"But there is absolutely no problem in mining asteroids, but we certainly cannot have more choices like the Seiryu spacecraft. We must calculate everything accurately."
When the conversation changed, Omura Jiro said helplessly.
"I understand, Omura-kun, please have a good rest. Don't rush the construction of the next spaceship. Let's take a look at the situation of the Kaguya first."
Masao Nakamura nodded, all the situations had been clarified.
Soon, as Kaguya was officially completed and launched, news across Japan was covered with overwhelming news. For half a month, all news in Japan centered around this huge spaceship.
The completion of Kaguya also caused a sensation around the world. Japan became the second country after China to successfully build a large spacecraft. For a while, countless countries sent congratulatory messages to Japan.
At the same time, everyone began to pay close attention to the matter of Kaguya going to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids.
Kaguya uses traditional rocket power technology. This technology is very mature. The most important thing is that it is not difficult. There are a lot of countries around the world that have mastered this technology. Countries with slightly stronger scientific and technological strength can develop rockets.
technology.
Unlike the anti-gravity technology of Galaxy Technology Group, only the Chinese people in the world have mastered it. It is a unique profession. Although other countries have studied it for many years, they have not yet figured out what this anti-gravity technology is.
If the Kaguya spacecraft can successfully mine asteroids, this will be an encouragement to everyone, because it means that even if you do not buy expensive spaceships from Galaxy Technology Group, you can still build your own spaceships.
Asteroid belt mining asteroids.
Galaxy Technology Group's price for a spaceship of the Qinglong level is 5 trillion Chinese dollars. They are really taking everyone for granted. With 5 trillion Chinese dollars, ten Kaguya spaceships can be built.
However, if Galaxy Technology Group's spaceships can be cheaper or more expensive, everyone is still willing to buy them. After all, everyone has no confidence in a spaceship like Kaguya, and Galaxy Technology Group's products have always been
Although I was heartbroken when I bought it, I am very happy when I use it.
The anti-gravity spacecraft I bought from Galaxy Technology Group has not had any problems so far. The quality is really hard to say, whether it is expensive or expensive, but you get what you pay for, and the quality is good.
Receiving great attention from the world, the Japanese are also under great pressure. Although they were completed first, it also means that they have to explore the asteroid belt first.
If it succeeds, it is naturally the best. If it fails, it will be a huge and heavy blow to the entire country. After all, the Kaguya spacecraft has received huge attention since its construction, even Japan's
The cartoonist also created a comic called "Star Pirate King" based on this spaceship, which sold out in Japan.
The entire country has concentrated its efforts and spent more than a year building a huge spaceship. It can only succeed and cannot fail.
To this end, the National Academy of Sciences of Japan has once again organized a big battle. A large team composed of many astronomical scientists, aerospace engineers, astronauts, scientists, etc. made detailed plans for Kaguya to go to asteroids to mine asteroids.
From the departure time, flight route, speed, the mass of the asteroids to be mined, the composition, creation, and training of the team that went to the asteroids to mine the asteroids, etc., almost every detail was carefully studied over and over again.
Even when astronauts live in space, they have to conduct careful research on what to eat for each meal, how much to eat, etc., and formulate a very detailed plan.
In every aspect, every detail and every point has been done to the extreme. Everything about the Kaguya spacecraft and the mission of mining asteroids has been calculated in detail to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
