Whoosh...a steel ingot was launched from the lunar surface. The newly installed ejection rail was 5,000 meters long. After continuous technical improvements, it was no longer the complicated spiral style, but a straight twist style. This kind of ejection guide can eject steel ingots with a unit weight of up to 30 tons, once every 20 seconds. It is this kind of guide rail that provides strong support for the expanded development of the space factory. And such guide rails are densely packed!
When the mottled-looking steel ingots entered space, they were quickly captured by robots and put into the warehouse; below the warehouse, thick steel chains transported the steel ingots one by one to the electromagnetic furnace, and then through a series of processes, they became large and small. Parts needed for a small spaceship.
Sufficient power resources in space allow space factories to process most metal materials, and even the top materials used by Gaoshou Company to make plasma engines can be mass-produced.
"The fourth Titan spacecraft came off the assembly line and was tested successfully!"
Zhang Jingyuan looked at the report in his hand and looked at the expectant eyes of everyone, and suddenly smiled; then he waved his hand and said, "Challenge Ceres!"
Yes, the first target of the Master Company is Ceres!
This was considered. First of all, Venus is now a barrel of explosives, with too much re-accumulated energy; but Ceres is a planet with a large amount of frozen water, which is simply a natural cooling artifact. In addition, Gaoshou Company also has a plan that with water vapor, it can use chemicals to settle carbon dioxide and other resources in the planet. In space, all resources are precious and non-renewable; therefore. Trying to ensure the preservation of resources whenever possible is a correct attitude.
………………
"Let's go!!!"
"Let's go!"
Cheers rang out from every corner of the master company, and a large number of astronauts signed up enthusiastically. The Venus sniper plan has finally been launched, and today is July 15, 2064. Of course, there is nothing special about the date. It just means that after accumulation, the master company has completed its first step of the plan until today.
The four Titan spaceships are all real space giants of today's era, with a length of 1,100 meters. A behemoth with a diameter of 90 meters. Under the huge power, it crushed all the ant-like space shuttles and began to accelerate...
"Mu Xinghai, the No. 1 spacecraft, reports that all procedures are correct. The temporary status of the spacecraft is 100%."
"Liu Haibo reports from Spaceship No. 2. All procedures are correct. The temporary status of the spacecraft is 100%."
"Lin Fengyun's report from Spaceship No. 3..."
"No. 4 spacecraft Yang Zhi reports..."
All ships have been inspected, warmed up, and accelerated; this is more than just setting off. There is also a sense of testing. After all, it is better to have problems now than during actual space operations. The 1,100-meter-long sports machinery tests strength and structure beyond imagination.
Zhang Jingyuan watched quietly, feeling sincerely satisfied when he saw the busy figures of his men and the smiling faces full of pride and hope; this is a kind of magnificence unique to the technological age!
The vast space, the tiny Earth in the distance, the endless space factory in the distance, thousands of busy robotic arms, and the hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of photovoltaic cell bases nearby that provide energy for the space factory... But in this context, there are human beings who are as small as ants: the staff in white space suits are like aphids on the lush trees. However, these "aphids" have unimaginable wisdom; with their minds and hands, humans have created miracles one after another.
Science fiction... has become a reality!
Now, the Master Company is about to push the history of human civilization into a new and even crazier era!
The huge Titan spacecraft started violently, and all the engines burst out with the passion of the times. The combustion of hydrogen and oxygen had already produced huge energy; then, before the water vapor had a chance to explode, it continued to be charged by hundreds of thousands of volts. , ionized into ionic state.
Starting from the combustion of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, and finally generating a medium that performs work, it expands by millions, and the powerful force drives the engine to rotate violently. Far from the thermal energy and electrical energy, it is almost 100% converted into the fuel for the spacecraft to move forward. power. Behind the four spacecrafts, there is water vapor that is tens of thousands of kilometers long, like a rainbow in space.
However, even so, the spacecraft still accelerates slowly. Against the background of space, the spacecraft can hardly see movement in a very short period of time. But no one is in a hurry, because the excitement is below!
At such an exciting time, of course it’s not just the experts themselves who are paying attention to space. Although the Gaoshou Company did not promote it with great fanfare this time, it also did not cover up. In other words, how could such a huge spaceship be concealed? The current Gaoshou Company does not have the stealth technology to hide the entire spacecraft. - Mainly because it is not of use for the time being, so no research has been initiated.
As the speed of the spacecraft gradually increased, the faces of leaders around the world gradually became solemn!
Unstoppable! Unsurpassed!
A deep sense of powerlessness weighs on the hearts of all foreign leaders like a mountain; in fact, even the Chairman of China is not like this, but the only difference from other countries is that he does not have to worry about his own country and national security, and even A little pride. But this pride always feels a bit awkward.
However, the speed of the spacecraft quickly increased - in fact, the acceleration of the spacecraft was very fast, at least faster than the low-level space shuttles of today's master companies. The entire spacecraft can be regarded as a complete engine, and the rest of the functions are Save as much as you can; the reason why it looks so slow is because of the space background!
The actual spacecraft is launched at full speed, with an acceleration of up to 7.2 times the acceleration of gravity. Approximately 71 meters per second!
In other words, every 4 seconds, the spacecraft doubles the speed of an ordinary bullet! This is an amazing speed, especially when the weight of the spacecraft is as high as 700,000 tons!
As the spacecraft accelerates, a thick and long tail of exhaust gas is left behind, which looks like the tail of a comet; but the four spacecraft in front are accelerating straightly - like arrows leaving the string, moving forward inexorably!
On the ground, China even takes a day off to celebrate and observe...while other countries can only continue to work overtime! Some countries are even rejoicing. Fortunately, the world is still peaceful today, and everyone can still collect some precious resources from the moon, such as nuclear energy resources; and GaoShou Company and China did not stop it. But seeing such a good show, everyone's "irritated" hearts finally calmed down.
But for the master company, the real battle has just begun!
In the dark space, the spacecraft has been accelerating for more than ten hours. Now the engine has been shut down and it relies on inertia to move forward. But even if the current speed is as high as 0.5 million kilometers per second, it will still take more than two days to reach Ceres from the current position. And the speed of 5,000 kilometers per second has once again created a miracle in human history. But this is theoretically in space, as long as the power is not stopped, it can accelerate infinitely until it is close to the speed of light. Now, it's not that the speed of the spacecraft cannot be increased again, but the gains outweigh the losses; after all, it will have to slow down after approaching Ceres.
"Reporting to the headquarters, it is now 21:00 on July 16, 2064. The spacecraft has begun to slow down. It is expected that it will be relatively stationary with Ceres in 10 hours." Half an hour later, everyone on the spacecraft received a reply from the earth: 'Be safe , you are making history! '(To be continued...)
ps: I haven’t talked nonsense for a long time, so I shouted at the top of my lungs: Please vote!
