Time flies, and two years pass in the blink of an eye, and the time reaches 2040.
The Dragon Nest Space Factory is buzzing with people and very lively. Today is the day when the first Dragon-class spacecraft in human history, the ‘Hanwu Emperor’ spacecraft, is launched.
After more than three years of non-stop construction work and a huge investment of nearly 20 trillion Chinese dollars, this huge spacecraft was finally completed.
The huge 'Hanwu Emperor' spaceship is parked quietly in the Sixth Shipbuilding Dockyard. The whole spaceship is full of science fiction colors, and its dark outer shell is as powerful and domineering as its name suggests.
The Qin and Han Dynasties advocated black, and the shell of this huge spaceship is also black. This retro color is solemn, majestic, and has a strong sense of weight, as if it is telling endless stories.
The spacecraft is 10 kilometers long, 3 kilometers high, and 5 kilometers wide. Overall, it still continues the oval design of previous anti-gravity spacecraft.
The overall streamline shape of the spacecraft is very good, and the graceful arc looks very comfortable and charming.
Because the spacecraft "Hanwu Emperor" has a gravity generating device, its internal design is completely different from all previous spacecrafts.
The internal structure and design of the spacecraft adopts the design of a layer-by-layer high-rise building, which is 3 kilometers high. Starting from the bottom, the entire spacecraft has hundreds of floors.
Theoretically speaking, this huge "Hanwu Emperor" is enough to carry tens of millions of people for long-distance interstellar migration. These tens of millions of people are not just tens of millions of people, but also include these tens of millions of people for a long time.
All the supplies needed for life.
At this time, the lights on this huge spaceship were brightly lit, and all the lights on each floor were on. When viewed from the outside, it was very spectacular, as if seeing a huge high-rise building.
This tall building is much larger and many times larger than any tall building on earth. It is like a vast palace from the depths of the starry sky, where gods live.
"It's incredible that we can actually build such a huge spaceship~"
At the Sixth Dock Control and Command Center, almost all the top executives of the Galaxy Technology Group are here, as are many leaders and top scientists from the Galaxy Science Research Institute.
The superiors also sent Li Jun and Zhao Guoliang to come with a large team to visit. Many foreign countries have even sent applications to Galaxy Technology Group, wanting to come and visit the largest spacecraft ever built by mankind.
However, Qin Yi refused very decisively.
The hugeness of the 'Hanwu Emperor' spacecraft can only be felt when you are actually next to it. In front of it, you are as small as an ant. People can't help but be shocked and amazed by it.
.
At this time, the hatches on the 'Hanwu Emperor' spacecraft were wide open, and where each hatch was located there was a huge warehouse.
In this huge warehouse, the Qinglong-class spacecraft and the anti-gravity spacecraft transporting supplies are parked very quietly. The hatches are also wide open, and the mechanical arms are constantly busy, carrying standard cargo boxes one after another to the Emperor Hanwu.
Inside the warehouse of the spaceship.
The Qinglong-class spacecraft is already quite large, but it is much smaller compared to the 'Hanwu Emperor' spacecraft. Sometimes a comparison is needed, and only through comparison can we understand the differences between them.
"This spaceship is really too big!"
"Qin Yi, is this the spacecraft you said can be used for interstellar navigation?"
Li Jun looked at the huge spaceship in front of him. His entire wide field of vision was blocked by the spaceship, and he could only see a small part of it.
"Yes, this spacecraft was originally used for interstellar navigation."
"The universe is too vast. Even the Centaur Galaxy, which is the closest to our solar system, is 4.3 light-years away. In other words, if we travel at the speed of light, it will take more than 4 years to fly to the Centaur Galaxy."
"What's more, no matter how powerful our spacecraft is, it is absolutely impossible for us to reach the speed of light, so the time for interstellar voyages is very long, and each time it takes ten or twenty years to calculate."
"This means that if we want to carry out interstellar colonization and interstellar expansion, we must bring enough power and population at once."
"If the spaceship is too small, there will be no way to transport too many people. Naturally, interstellar colonization will be out of the question, not to mention the need to conquer alien civilizations first."
Qin Yi nodded solemnly and said.
In the technology tower, Qin Yi also saw a lot of the history of early interstellar colonization of civilization.
When any civilization embarks on interstellar colonization, it will be very difficult at the beginning, because before the warp engine technology is mastered, interstellar travel is extremely inconvenient.
The distances are often measured in light years, and even at the speed of light, the spacecraft appears to be very long. Just like in the Earth's Age of Discovery, it would take several months to travel from Europe to Asia or the Americas by ship.
During this process, you have to worry about pirate robbery and pray for a smooth journey. Otherwise, it is common to be buried in the sea and die at the hands of pirates and natives.
The same was true in the early interstellar space age. The interstellar space was vast, and it took great courage to conquer the interstellar universe and colonize the interstellar space.
"Isn't it too early to talk about interstellar colonization now?"
Li Jun nodded, then thought about it and said.
"Be prepared for a rainy day. With the spaceship in hand, we can go whenever we want. If an alien civilization attacks our solar system, we will have room to fight back."
"We know too little about the world outside the solar system. After a while, I plan to launch unmanned exploration spacecraft to several galaxies around our solar system to see if any of the galaxies around our solar system have any
Is there any alien civilization on the living planet?"
Qin Yi looked at Li Jun. Qin Yi knew that many people did not understand Qin Yi's behavior, including Li Jun in front of him.
In everyone's opinion, Qin Yi wants money and status, so why go through so much trouble? Wouldn't it be better to live a carefree life quietly on earth?
There is no need to work so hard, work hard, and spend huge sums of money to build such a huge spaceship. No one understands why Qin Yi did this.
Qin Yi is the leader of mankind, so there is no need to worry so much. Whether it is interstellar colonization or interstellar expansion, it is not Qin Yi's decision.
Qin Yi's tossing around here is just a fool's errand. He might as well live a peaceful life.
Qin Yi naturally can't tell everyone that I have a technology tower. I have seen countless powerful civilizations in the technology tower, and I have also seen countless self-contained civilizations. Just because of a certain technology, others almost wiped out the entire civilization.
, or the entire civilization becomes a vassal of other civilizations, and all people are slaves and maids, being sold and slaughtered at will like livestock.
Only those who have really seen this sense of urgency and crisis will know that the current life of the earth is still very good.
But if a powerful alien civilization invades, defeats the people on earth, sells them into the universe like livestock, and takes over the most precious earth for mankind.
Once that time comes, there is no place to cry, and even if the tears run dry, it will not help.
You must be aware of the technological gap. Sometimes just a few decades ahead is enough to form a crushing advantage. Maybe the other party's technology is not much more advanced than yours, and you only need a little time to catch up.
But the enemy will not give you time, and will only wipe you out before you become stronger.
Everyone likes comfortable days, but if a country or a civilization chooses to be comfortable, it is destined to be slowly eliminated by the world in the end.
Once upon a time, China was very powerful, claiming to be a great country. People came from all over the world, but they looked down upon the world outside China. Their pride blinded them, and they were finally beaten to their senses.
Even after hundreds of years of humiliation, we are lucky. At least our country has not been destroyed, because the people we meet are all earthlings. If we meet aliens, they may treat you as food or wealth, sell you, and trap you.
Get up and feed.
Not to mention in the universe, the ancient Indian civilization, one of the four once glorious civilizations on earth, was defeated by foreign civilizations. The invaders established a whole set of so-called caste systems. The foreign invaders were superior. Originally, they were superior.
The creators of ancient India became the lowest caste.
Using the brainwashing given to you by religion to make your descendants serve foreign invaders like them for generations to come is more terrifying than the annihilation of the entire race.
Qin Yi has seen too many similar examples in the Technology Tower. Once a civilization is conquered, its fate will be very tragic.
As interstellar civilization develops, various means of control have emerged in endlessly. They can not only control your body, but also your mind and soul.
The people on earth are still too weak. Although they have already entered the interstellar era with half a foot, this is nothing at all. It is a good thing that they have not entered the interstellar universe. Once discovered by alien civilization, the consequences will be disastrous.
This is also the reason why Qin Yi has been moving forward, because Qin Yi has a sense of urgency and a sense of mission. He has seen too many tragic fates of civilizations, and Qin Yi naturally does not want to do this.
