Advanced Players in Arc

"I didn't expect that we have developed so fast now and are about to send people on an exploration mission to Mars."

After returning to the returning aircraft, Dong Chen sighed to No. 1.

Number 1, who was fastening his seat belt next to him, gave Dong Chen a strange look and said, "Sir, you have been feeling so emotional during this time. What's wrong with you?"

"Uh... maybe it's because I'm old," Dong Chen choked and said. "My birthday is in just over a month, and then I will be twenty-seven."

"Twenty-seven and eighty-four, these are all hurdles of fate. It's normal to feel sad."

The original words were strange to No. 1. As soon as these words came out, No. 1 immediately thought in his heart... Dong Chen rolled his eyes in the core database and said, "Do you really think I don't include folk sayings?"

"This is obviously a popular saying among the people, "Seventy-three and eighty-four, the king of hell will not take you away." It means that people living to the age of seventy-three and eighty-four are unlucky. It is easy to die at this time. In fact, this saying has no scientific basis at all."

"Don't you know your own physical condition?"

"Ahem, aren't I just trying to ease the awkward atmosphere?" Dong Chen said helplessly, touching his nose.

"But it looks like it hasn't calmed down yet."

But No. 1 didn't say anything, just a standardized robot expressionless face, which means: give you an expression and feel it for yourself.

Dong Chen didn't want to say anything because he was bored here on the 1st. However, he did have a lot of emotions during this period, mainly because he had developed so fast in the past few years, and it was almost time for him to react. , he is already living in a "science fiction film".

As a result, someone told him that this science fiction film was shot by himself, and he had invested in it, shot it on real locations, and distributed it globally. This made him even more unable to react.

Especially when I just came out of Moon City, and then immediately inspected the Mars spacecraft that was about to be built, this was not real life at all, this was a scene from a science fiction movie.

When the aircraft gradually left Space Station 006, Dong Chen once again saw the entire space station and spaceship.

The size of this space station is actually not as large as the first space station built by the Arc Light Group, which is the multi-functional comprehensive Tiangong Space Station that is currently in operation.

The second batch of space stations built are all highly professional space stations. Just like this 006 space station, it is a space dock, and its future business is to build spaceships, so it doesn’t need to be big, just professional enough.

The final length of this No. 006 space station is actually only more than 600 meters, but it is no longer like the Tiangong Space Station. Instead, it looks like a slipway in a shipyard on Earth, but it is different from the ships on Earth placed on the ground. Similarly, the hull here is directly floating in the air, after all, it is in space.

If you look at the design from the pure front, Space Station 006 looks like a general "W" shape, but it is not so sharp, more like a "bow". When you lie down and deflect it slightly, you will find that this The character "bow" is still 3D.

The two grooves are where the hull will stay. There will be some fixtures to secure the hull under construction in the grooves. There will also be some large mechanical arms above the grooves to carry or place some large equipment, but there are no more It has a lifting function. Since there is no gravity in space, it is used to move some things.

The length of the grooves on both sides is more than 600 meters, which is equal to the length of the entire space station. If construction is started on both sides at the same time, two giant spaceships with a length of no more than 700 meters can be built. If the spacecraft is not so huge, then it depends on how much space the slipway can accommodate. How many ships, anyway, at least two giant ships to start with.

There is also a circular rotating gravity simulation cabin on it, which is a living cabin for space station engineers to rest. However, this gravity cabin does not rotate sideways, so its size will block the shipbuilding platform and hinder the construction of the spacecraft. , so it is designed to rotate vertically.

This is like a unicycle. The position of the rotating cabin is exactly at the wheel of the unicycle, and it is fixed in the middle of the lying "bow" character.

Of course, this is a general description. In fact, Space Station 006 has many complicated details.

However, in order to keep up with the schedule, the space station actually started construction of the spacecraft before it was completed. That is, a part of the grooved slipway on one side was built, which was just enough 300 meters to put down the hull of the Mars spacecraft. Then they Work started.

By the way, there is also the living cabin of the engineers, the large disk that simulates gravity, so the current situation is probably a car accident scene. One side of the unicycle is completely gone, and only half of the body on the other side is left. Only the wheels are still there. Turning tenaciously.

There is also a strange thing in this half of the carriage, like a white rocket model with rings that is completely different from the broken unicycle.

That strange thing is the Mars spacecraft, but it is not very strange now. It will be called a giant chicken when it is really completed.

The current appearance is relatively normal, more like the spacecraft in "The Martian", except that it does not have a solar array.

The straight hull is made up of sections one by one, with a diameter of about five or six meters. The front is the cockpit, and then the front third is a large simulated gravity ring, and the middle is a large section. The empty hull has only two protruding cylindrical docking ports, which begin to become thicker at the back, and then there are large storage tanks in a circle, which contain the working fluid of the ion thruster and the backup fuel for the transport aircraft, and then there are four large storage tanks. ion engine nozzle.

But after the two large transport aircraft are mounted, it will be completely different.

This Mars spacecraft was originally 247 meters long, and the length of the transport plane reached 75 meters, with a wingspan of 83 meters. After the two transport planes were mounted, two pairs of wings were immediately added to the spacecraft. And the thickness of the wings is thicker than the diameter of the main hull, which looks quite weird.

Generally, carrier-based aircraft stay on aircraft carriers. Even if the situation is unfavorable, they must be carried by amphibious assault ships. Only then can the size and proportion be appropriate.

The combination of this Mars spacecraft and a transport aircraft is like putting a 20-meter carrier-based aircraft on a 60-meter offshore patrol boat. The beautiful sky of the patrol boat is directly obscured.

But that’s it, this is the most advanced and awesome spaceship on earth.

Even though Dong Chen sometimes complains about the ugly appearance of the spaceship, everyone else who looks at it will praise it as "it's so beautiful."

PS: Uh... I didn't work overtime today, but I planned to relax and watch a movie, so the second update is probably impossible. I'll see if I can make up for it tomorrow. Finally, let's run the water. The movie I watched is called "Quickly" "Take My Brother Away", the two young actors can be regarded as the best among the new generation actors.
