Dragon Nest Space Factory, the entire huge factory is extremely busy. The rise of the asteroid belt mining industry has caused expensive spacecraft to be completely out of stock, and orders have been scheduled for several years.
The trillions of Qinglong-class spaceships now feel like cabbage. Especially after the stocks in the space technology sector soared, the people were keen to invest in the asteroid belt mining industry, and there were not enough spaceships to sell.
The second kind of Dragon Nest space factory has also started construction, but it is building a Milon-class spacecraft, but many people still prefer the Qinglong-class spacecraft.
This Qinglong-class spacecraft is indeed expensive. Domestic people buy it for 3 trillion Chinese dollars, and foreign ones cost 5 trillion Chinese dollars. Such an expensive price, to be honest, anyone who can afford it is a real top-class spacecraft.
power.
But the Qinglong-class spacecraft is valuable because of its powerful thrust. It can mine asteroids with a mass of hundreds of millions of tons at a time. It is also fast enough. It can go to the asteroid belt several times a year. If you are lucky, it can mine asteroids in about a year.
The cost can be recovered within a short period of time.
In addition, the Qinglong-class spacecraft is very safe and reliable, and cannot be compared with those foreign rocket-powered spacecraft.
Since the rise of the asteroid mining industry, spacecraft built by foreigners have been put into use one after another. Although such spacecraft using rockets as power can also reach the asteroid belt.
However, it has small thrust, fast fuel consumption, poor flexibility, and more importantly, very low safety. Several major space accidents have occurred one after another. Several spacecrafts going to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids have completely failed due to problems with their rocket power systems.
Buried in the asteroid belt.
That’s why everyone still loves Galaxy Technology Group’s products. They are expensive, which means it hurts when you buy them, but they still feel delicious when you use them.
There are several long shipbuilding docks in the Dragon Nest Space Factory, and several Qinglong-class spacecraft under construction are parked on each dock.
Some Qinglong-class spacecraft are almost completed and delivered for use, and some are still just skeletons. Engineers are like ants, busy inside and outside the huge spacecraft with the help of robotic arms.
The Sixth Shipbuilding Dockyard is empty, without any spacecraft. Scientists and engineers are remodeling this dock and preparing to build the first Dragon-class spacecraft, the Hanwu Emperor.
The Hanwu Emperor is designed to be over 10 kilometers long, over 3 kilometers high, and over 5 kilometers wide. It is definitely the largest spacecraft in history, and is more than 10 times larger than the Qinglong-class spacecraft.
This shipyard could have been used to build several Blue Dragon-class spacecraft at the same time, but now it feels a bit reluctant to build a Dragon-class spacecraft. Engineers need to renovate the shipbuilding shipyard.
In the control and command center of the Sixth Shipbuilding Dock, Qin Yi came to the Dragon Nest Space Factory again, because today was the day when the Hanwu Emperor spacecraft officially started construction and the keel was laid.
On the huge display in the command center, the design of the Hanwu Emperor spacecraft is so domineering that one can't help but sigh at its size.
This is a truly behemoth, and at the same time, it looks very sci-fi in appearance, just like a powerful space battleship sailing interstellar spaceships in science fiction movies.
"This design is good, and it retains the function of the weapon system. Although it is a spaceship now, it can also be a space battleship when necessary. However, the outer shell is designed to be too thin and the skin is brittle.
Not as good as the cannon of a real giant ship."
"However, a real space battleship does not rely on rough skin and thick flesh to withstand strikes. What it really relies on is a powerful energy shield and magnetic field shield. No matter how thick the steel is, its ability to withstand strikes will not be too strong.
.”
The detailed design data and design structure of the 'Hanwu Emperor' spacecraft appeared in Qin Yi's mind, and Qin Yi personally participated in this design.
For the first Dragon-class spacecraft, Qin Yi's requirements were not too high. He just made a suggestion, that is, the function of the weapon system must be retained and the function of the weapon system must be designed into it.
In this interstellar universe, spaceships are used. How can it be done without weapon systems? What's more, this dragon-class spaceship is expensive to build and will take a long time. If it doesn't take two or three years, it can't be built.
This second dragon-class spacecraft is not yet known to be built until the Year of the Monkey, so the design of the 'Hanwu Emperor' spacecraft must be as thorough and long-term as possible.
There is no weapon system now because it has not applied to the above. Galaxy Technology Group has not developed powerful weapons that are truly used in interstellar space wars. Therefore, the functions of the weapon system are retained. If needed in the future, they can be added quickly.
.
"It's begun~"
Just as Qin Yi was deep in thought, in the void outside, numerous mechanical arms dragged out long keel bones, preparing to start laying the keel bones.
Each of these keels is very long and very thick, because they are made of obsidian gold material, and there is a trace of golden light on these keels.
The keel laying of the 'Hanwu Emperor' spacecraft is completely different from the keel laying of the Qinglong-class spacecraft. The keel laying of the Qinglong-class spacecraft also refers to the experience of building large ships on the earth. The keel laying is quite satisfactory.
The keel of the 'Hanwu Emperor' spacecraft is designed with more triangular structures, because the triangular structure is the most stable structure and has the strongest weighing capacity. Coupled with the powerful obsidian material, it is enough to ensure that the spacecraft
Have a strong skeleton.
The robotic arms began to become busy one after another. Each keel is a specially made keel, with its own unique number, laying order and position.
Scientists and engineers took the robotic arm and went into space with the robotic arm stretched out, arriving at the forefront of laying the keel.
The first keel is also the most important one. It is 10 kilometers long, 50 meters wide and 30 meters high. One end is curved in an arc.
Under the transportation of the robotic arm, it was fixed on the sixth dock. This is the main keel. The other keels must be slowly assembled on the basis of this keel.
Each keel has a specially reserved card slot. The requirements for the reserved card slots are extremely high and must reach several wires. They are also high-precision processed products. When combined together, there must be no
A slight gap is like a whole body, and only in this way can we have strong endurance.
Otherwise, if the keel is still swaying, the entire spacecraft will be completely torn into pieces as soon as the engine is started.
The work of laying the keel is relatively simple, because it is just assembly. The real difficulty is the initial design, the selection of the keel material, and the smelting and processing.
Having done all this work in the early stage, it is easy to assemble it. It is much simpler. You only need to assemble it step by step according to the design drawings.
Two months later, Qin Yi came to the Sixth Dockyard again. The keel of the 'Hanwu Emperor' spacecraft had basically been laid.
Looking from the control and command center, the dragon bone has a shining golden feeling, as if it is really the bones of a giant dragon, exuding charming colors.
"It's really spectacular. Such a huge keel, the momentum alone is very impressive."
Next to Qin Yi, Lin Ye, CEO of Galaxy Technology Group, who followed Qin Yi, saw such a huge keel for the first time. At this time, a Qinglong-class spacecraft happened to be transporting parts.
There happens to be an anti-gravity spacecraft parked next to this Qinglong-class spacecraft, which is also transporting supplies.
This anti-gravity spacecraft looks very small compared to the Qinglong-class spacecraft, like a cat compared to a pig. Compared with the keel of the 'Hanwu Emperor' spacecraft next to it, this Qinglong-class spacecraft looks very small, like a pig.
The contrast between a piglet and an African elephant is average.
The three types of spacecraft are compared together. This huge visual contrast and impact can make people truly feel the hugeness of the Dragon-class spacecraft.
"This is just a keel. When the 'Hanwu Emperor' spacecraft is completed, it will be even more ferocious, like a real giant dragon soaring in space and among the stars."
Qin Yi looked at the huge dragon bone and said with a smile.
