Chapter 458 Spaceship Progress
This whole day, Zhang Yi stayed in the space command center of the moon base and did not return to Earth.

On the morning of the second day, he did not go to the lunar command center to continue to observe the situation of Mars exploration.

Because he knew that even if he didn't go, Xiang Juncai and the others would tell him if they found anything unexpected during the detection process.

So this morning he is going to the spacecraft manufacturing base on the moon.

Although the spacecraft manufacturing base on the moon has been completed at this time, and the construction of the first spacecraft has also started, but the first spacecraft they built is still a very small spacecraft to the outside world.

The displacement is only less than 4000 tons, but as a real spaceship, this spaceship under construction is definitely much larger than aerospace vehicles.

It's just that this spaceship is not an armed spaceship, but a research ship, so it is only equipped with the most basic self-defense weapons.

But after Zhang Yi and the others arrived at the lunar spacecraft manufacturing base, he said to Huang Xiru who was beside him, "Sister Huang! Inform the person in charge of the base, Luo Jianming, and other high-level officials to come to meeting room 1. I want to hold a meeting."

"Okay, I'll let you know."

More than 10 minutes later, all the high-level executives of the base had arrived in the meeting room.

"Is everyone here?" About half an hour later, Zhang Yi turned his head and asked Luo Jianming.

"Mr. Zhang, apart from the horseman who is in charge of the installation of the spacecraft and engine, other high-level executives of the spacecraft manufacturing base have arrived." Luo Jianping glanced at these people in the conference room, and then said.

"Okay, since everyone is almost here, let's start. Today we are mainly discussing the design of our first real space battleship.

I think all of you present here are very clear about why countries on the earth have established space programs. Its most fundamental purpose is to continue to continue in the universe for human civilization, and to have a certain ability to fight back when facing foreign civilizations. , In the face of natural disasters, they can also maintain the continuation of their own race.

However, there is not much time left for us now. Until now, our earth civilization has not had a real spaceship, let alone a real space battleship. The aerospace planes we have developed before, Or aerospace fighters, basically they can only fight in near-Earth space, and have no ability to project long-distance combat power. Therefore, we must have long-distance combat capabilities, especially those in the outer solar system. "Zhang Yi said.

After hearing Zhang Yi's words, the high-level executives of the lunar spacecraft manufacturing base fell silent. After waiting for a while, someone stood up and asked Zhang Yi: "Mr. Zhang! I have a question, and I hope you can give us a definite answer. If the normal procedure is followed, our human space program does not need to be so anxious at all. Now that the earth orbit is established, in a large space, and then slowly build a moon base, mine the moon’s minerals and start designing real spaceships.

But now Mr. Zhang, the time you are asking us is so tight, is something wrong, or is our human civilization really threatened by foreign civilizations? "

After listening to the executive's words, Zhang Yi did not give a positive answer, but said: "I can't say anything about this matter now. After all, these things are the secrets of the entire human civilization. It is not yours yet." You can know, but you have to remember one thing, that is, the work you are doing now is absolutely related to the safety of human beings, I hope you can develop the first real space battleship of our human civilization as soon as possible."

After listening to Zhang Yi's words, the executive nodded and replied, "Okay! Mr. Zhang, we will do our best."

Zhang Yi still has some impressions of this executive. Although such an executive is also an expert in aerospace, he was not hired from the system, so he is not going to tell him about foreign civilizations. , if you tell him that once he slipped his mouth, it will definitely cause great panic in the earth society, after all, the countries of the world are not ready yet.

"How is our first spacecraft manufactured now, and when will it be completed?" Zhang Yi asked Luo Jianping again.

"Mr. Zhang! Since our first spaceship is a trial-manufactured spaceship, and this spaceship is still a scientific research ship, the current progress is very smooth. If we continue according to the current progress, it will be completed in about a month." The outfitting is underway for sea trials," Luo Jianping replied.

"Not bad! You have done a very good job, but you have to speed up the design of real space battleships. After all, you have the top warship designers in the countries of our space program. Although these ship designers basically He designed surface warships before he went on board, but he is still the top designer of our mankind." Zhang Yi said.

"Okay! Mr. Zhang, we will definitely speed up the design of the space record, but Mr. Zhang, according to the feedback from various experts in our center, due to problems in energy and power, the spaceship we are manufacturing now will not The tonnage limit is very large, and the maximum can never exceed 4500 tons. Once the weight exceeds this tonnage, the warship will not be able to lift off, let alone leave the lunar orbit.

Just like the research spacecraft we are actually manufacturing now, we originally planned to build a scientific research spacecraft with a tonnage of more than [-] tons and the ability to work and live in space for a long time.

But now our first human spaceship has a displacement of less than [-] tons, which is more than half of what we expected. At the same time, there are much less entertainment and scientific research equipment on board. " Luo Jianping said.

"Luo Gong! There is no way around this. The energy source used by this spaceship is already the most advanced nuclear power plant technology on our earth. Even the nuclear reactor technology on the most advanced aircraft carrier on our earth is far behind. It’s not as good as what’s on our spaceship, so that’s all we can do now.

However, I think it won't be long before the controllable nuclear fusion technology we are developing will have a breakthrough. By then, the tonnage limit for us to manufacture space battleships will be much less. Of course, the tonnage of warships we want to manufacture is completely unlimited. We can wait until we develop the anti-gravity technology, otherwise, according to our calculations, the [-]-ton spacecraft is already the limit, because no matter how big it is, it will not be able to break through the moon's atmosphere unless we directly build it in the universe. "Zhang Yi said.
