Homo sapiens

February 21, 22.

The high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere are still covered in ice and snow.

Hongsawadi, located in the tropics, is a more suitable season of the year for traveling.

Li Qingye, who was still in Hongsawadi, was currently in the Hugang Basin in Kachin State.

He was inspecting a base, which was Magao Town, the aerospace base officially invested by the Hongsawady Group.

The Magao Town Aerospace Base is next door to the Mengguan Town Aviation Base, and not far to the northwest is the Nanyun Town Nature Reserve (secretly it is the Nanyun secret base that originally stole Assam oil and gas).

Of course, the so-called bright side is only a small part of it, and the real base is actually set up in the northeastern mountainous area 50 kilometers away from Magao Town.

On the surface of Magao Town, there are many huge steel structure factories and several launch sites, all of which are for the eyes of the sky to see.

The real aerospace base can only be entered into its real core area by taking the subway at the underground station in Magao Town.

The core area of ​​this space base is just under Benpa Mountain. Benpa Mountain is also the highest mountain in the surrounding area, with an altitude of 3,413 meters.

At an altitude of 3,000 meters on this mountain peak, there are also a large number of magnetic field radar detectors arranged to monitor changes in the surrounding magnetic field.

Li Qingye did not stop at Magao Town, but went directly to Benpa Mountain Base.

After all, as a space base on the surface, he knew that it was definitely being watched by America's satellites, and even intercontinental missiles were already targeting it.

Naturally, he would not stay in such a risky location.

Just arrived at the base of Benpa Mountain.

Feili hurriedly walked to him and reported in a low voice: "Boss! Lucia entered the Principality of Kiev 11 minutes ago."

Li Qingye raised his eyebrows: "Oh..." Then a hint of interesting smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Continue to pay attention, it seems that Caesar is not willing to be lonely!"

"The Field Division has activated some chess pieces in Lucia and Eastern Europe. Do we need to add fire?"

Hearing this, Li Qingye waved his hand: "No need, but America wants to strengthen intelligence collection. Recently they seem to have set their sights on Hongsawady."

"Minister Chen has recently stepped up his intelligence collection on America." Fili quickly replied.

Li Qingye listened to some other reports and gave some general instructions. Then, under the leadership of the base director and the heads of several technical departments, he visited various works at the Benpa Mountain base.

What he is most concerned about is naturally the several major projects being promoted at the Benpa Mountain Base.

Unlike the Caijin Town Aerospace Base in the Langerang Mountains and the Medan Space Base of the Luzon Branch, the aerospace technology route of the Penpa Mountain Base is relatively traditional.

Lin Xiaolun, one of the heads of the technical department of the base, pointed to the large launch vehicle not far away: "Chairman, this is the Galaxy 1 large launch vehicle we developed."

"Liquid oxygen methane?" Li Qingye glanced at the engine and storage tank.

"The chairman has a keen eye." Lin Xiaolun then introduced the characteristics of Galaxy 1.

Generally speaking, Galaxy 1 has no outstanding points. It borrows heavily from the launch vehicle technology of China, Lucia, America and the Europa Consortium. It is a typical stitch monster.

This is also a characteristic of Homo sapiens' many non-civilian technologies, that is, they can learn from them if they can. It is impossible to sell launch vehicles anyway, and there is no need to comply with international patent laws.

After using a large number of new materials and biochip technology, the Galaxy 1 launch vehicle has a low-Earth orbit payload of 53 tons, a synchronous orbit payload of 28 tons, and a lunar orbit payload of 11 tons.

Of course, this launch vehicle has not been tested, and the data is only simulated by supercomputer.

Thanks to the material advantages of crystal sponge, the Galaxy 1 launch vehicle does not need to store methane at low temperatures, nor does it need to deal with the storage problem of hydrogen. It can achieve long-term storage and rapid launch.

Lin Xiaolun continued: "Using rapid liquid oxygen infusion, or by directly replacing the spare liquid oxygen tank, Galaxy 1 can complete launch preparations in about 27 minutes at the fastest."

In response, Li Qingye shook his head: "That's enough. Unless the liquid oxygen can be stored for a long time or toxic fuel is used, the launch speed of the liquid rocket has almost reached its end."

Everyone present was a professional in this field, so they naturally understood what Li Qingye meant.

Liquid-fueled launch vehicles like the Galaxy 1 are okay for use in space launch vehicles, but they are obviously not suitable for military use.

No matter how much improvements are made, it is still difficult to improve the launch speed of liquid launch vehicles.

After hearing what Li Qingye said, Dr. Nevsky, who was in charge of the aerospace technology military conversion project, knew it was time to speak on his own:

"Chairman, currently our project team has developed the Galaxy 2 and Galaxy 3 launch vehicles in accordance with the requirements of external security undertakings."

He carefully introduced the technology and performance of the two launch vehicles to Li Qingye.

The Galaxy 2 launch vehicle is modeled after Lucia. Its technical feature is the use of toxic liquid fuel that can be stored for a long time. Its payload is 1,500 kilograms and its range is within 12,000 kilometers.

After using a lot of new materials, this type of launch vehicle can be transported using a missile launch vehicle or placed in an underground launch silo.

The Galaxy 3 launch vehicle is a medium-range launch vehicle that uses solid fuel. Its payload is also 1,500 kilograms and its range is within 6,000 kilometers.

Galaxy 3 is relatively small in size and weight, and has relatively low production costs. It is suitable for submarines and warships, and can also be used on missile vehicles.

"Are you ready to serve?"

Dr. Nevsky nodded: "That's enough, especially for the Galaxy 3 launch vehicle. If the base's production line is started at full capacity, it can produce 500 to 600 rockets per month."

Li Qingye turned his head and ordered to the base director: "Then start mass production and prepare an industrial replication plan."

"Yes, my subordinates will make arrangements immediately." the base commander replied cautiously.

The so-called industrial replication is a technology promotion system within the Homo sapiens company.

Normally, once a technology is industrialized, the company will not only arrange one production factory, but will prepare at least three factories located far away from each other.

At the same time, the industry formed by this technology must have the conditions for rapid replication, and then the Ministry of Industry will make technical reserves. Once necessary, the factory must be able to replicate quickly.

Only the Homo sapiens company has this confidence.

Biomaterial synthesis technology, biological element enrichment technology, and various supporting technologies for rapid construction sites can also quickly train technicians through biochips, allowing Homo sapiens companies to rapidly expand their industrial scale.

The advantages of biotechnology in this regard are indeed terrifying.

For example, the Galaxy 3 launch vehicle production line at the Benpa Mountain base in front of us only needs to complete the technology integration and form a set of industrial backup.

When the Homo sapiens company needs it, it won't take a few months to have Galaxy 3 launch vehicle manufacturing factories everywhere.

To expand the industrial scale of traditional industries, a large number of supporting facilities and production equipment are needed.

In extreme cases, the Homo sapiens company does not need supporting facilities and production equipment. It can rely on a parts cultivation machine to piece together a complete production line bit by bit.

Of course, this is only done under extreme circumstances.

For example, if you want to open a secret base in enemy territory, you can only use a small parts cultivation machine. Before unfolding, this thing is about the same size as an ordinary suitcase, which is very convenient for establishing a secret base.

Within your own company, there is naturally no need to use a separate small parts cultivation machine.
