Interstellar Industrial Age

In the void between the earth and the moon, on an anti-gravity spacecraft bearing the logo of Galaxy Technology Group, Qin Yi woke up from his sleep, rubbed his eyes slightly, and then went to the window to look outside.

In the eternal darkness, the stars are dotted, and the light from the distant time and space is so charming that people can't help but want to follow the starlight to pursue the scenery on the other side.

At this time, it was very close to the moon, and it had already lost its brightness. The barren surface could be seen clearly in space, and occasionally the lunar bases on the moon surface could be seen with the naked eye.

The 'Dragon Nest' space factory is constantly enlarged in the field of vision. The closer you get, the more realistic you can feel this behemoth. The anti-gravity spaceship Qin Yi rides is the size of a house.

But in front of this huge factory, it is like a small point, slowly approaching, everything is constantly magnifying, until everything outside the entire window is blocked by the huge figure of the 'Dragon Nest' factory.

"The second phase of the project has also been completed, and the design of the Qinglong has also been completed, and the construction can be officially started."

Qin Yi retracted his thoughts and drifted towards the 'Dragon Nest' factory.

Moving through space without gravity is actually a very difficult thing, especially if there is nothing around you to focus on, you will be stuck in one place and cannot move.

But if there is a strong place, just a slight push of the hands and feet, the whole person can move forward in one direction lightly and continuously. In theory, in the absence of friction, it can fly like this forever.

Soon, Qin Yi came to the center of the 'Dragon Nest' factory. Yang Hongyan and Zhang Jian learned of Qin Yi's arrival and were already waiting.

"Are you still used to life here?"

Qin Yi looked at Yang Hongyan and Zhang Jian. Since the two became the heads of the 'Dragon Nest' factory, they have spent most of their time in space. As a boss, Qin Yi naturally wants to care about the lives of his employees. After all, the labor surplus value of these employees will be squeezed in the future.

"It's alright, except for the trip to the earth every three days, there is nothing unaccustomed to."

Yang Hongyan thought for a while and said.

"Running to the earth is also for the sake of your body. After staying in space for a long time, because there is no gravity, the calcium in the bones of the human body will be lost. If you want to not be paralyzed, you can honestly keep exercising every day."

Qin Yi said in a serious tone that there are more and more practitioners in the space age, ranging from pilots of anti-gravity spacecraft, space engineers, space astronauts, space workers, interstellar miners, interstellar waiters and so on. Emerging careers related to space are emerging.

These occupations have a characteristic, that is, the working place is in space, on the moon, and the working hours of these same occupations are very short.

At least half of the month must be returned to the Earth for rest. If you work in space, it is basically a rhythm of one day of work and two days of rest. You cannot work continuously for more than 10 days in space. .

All of this has strict regulations. The reason is for the sake of physical health. If you want to live and work in space for a long time, you must keep exercising every day and exercise the bones of the whole body.

But no matter how much you exercise, it will never achieve the effect of gravity. The invisible gravity on the earth is really important to the creatures who live in it for a long time. They are exercising the bones of the human body all the time. In terms of orientation, this is far from being comparable to physical exercise in space.

"Don't worry, boss."

"I'm still thinking about going to the sea of ​​​​stars to take a look and take a walk in the future."

Feeling Qin Yi's concern, Yang Hongyan forced a smile on his face.

"It's good to know, so do you."

Qin Yi nodded with a smile, and then exhorted Zhang Jian.

"I've never seen a boss like you, other bosses are eager to use their employees as cows and horses,

You're good, but I'm afraid we're exhausted. "

Zhang Jian couldn't help shaking his head, he really had nothing to say about his boss.

"I'm fishing for big fish with a long line, and I want to maximize your value~"

Qin Yi pouted and looked at the huge dock outside.

The second phase of the "Dragon Nest" space factory has been completed, and the overall effect of the entire space factory has come out. When you are in it, you can't see the whole picture, only a part of it.

The completed dock of the second phase project is different from the dock of the first phase of the project. The first phase of the project is mainly used to build the second-generation anti-gravity engine. Although the dock is large, it is actually a super-large room. If it is closed, scientists will And engineers can work inside without a spacesuit.

The manufacture of the engine is very delicate, and there are many parts of various sizes. Scientists and engineers need a good working environment.

The shipyard completed in the second phase of the project is mainly used to manufacture the keel of the spacecraft and the overall construction. Because it is used to manufacture large-scale spacecraft, the size is very large. Naturally, there is no way to do it indoors, but it can only be placed in space.

Therefore, the second phase of the dock is very long, more than 20 kilometers, and there are countless long robotic arms on it. Scientists and engineers mainly rely on these robotic arms to complete the construction of the spacecraft.

"All the preparatory work has been completed, and the construction of the Qinglong can be started at any time."

Yang Hongyan looked at Qin Yi, of course he knew the purpose of Qin Yi's visit to the space factory this time.

"I heard that you dismantled that engine and reassembled it again?"

Qin Yi nodded, then seemed to remember something and asked.

"Well, we feel that it cost hundreds of billions of dollars, and we can't just use about 20% of our strength. That would be a waste of resources. It's just that we can get familiar with the engine."

Yang Hongyan nodded and said.

The power of the second-generation anti-gravity engine is really too powerful, but because it is not made of integral castings, according to calculations and tests, once installed on the spacecraft, it can only exert about 20% of its strength. , the engine and the spacecraft will be torn apart by the powerful force.

This point, Yang Hongyan, Zhang Jian and others were very unwilling, so during the construction of the second phase of the project, while they designed the 'Qinglong' spacecraft, they also disassembled and installed the engine, installed and disassembled, and kept on Familiar with every point of the second-generation anti-gravity engine, and then find ways to see if it can improve its stability in order to exert greater strength.

"Is there any gain?"

Qin Yi smiled and nodded.

"The harvest is that we still need to build a smelting factory in space earlier. The power of the second-generation anti-gravity engine is too great."

Zhang Jian said helplessly, he didn't believe it at first, but after dismantling it several times and conducting more experiments and tests, he could only believe the facts.

"Let's go, look at the design of the Qinglong."

Qin Yi smiled, then turned and floated inside.

Soon, Qin Yi put on a virtual helmet and connected to the internal network of the "Dragon Nest" space factory. As the boss, Qin Yi has the highest authority and can check all the information.

In Qin Yi's mind, a huge spaceship appeared. This spaceship looks like a long ellipse as a whole. From this point, it can still be seen that its technology still relies on anti-gravity technology.

It is 1.2 kilometers long, 0.5 kilometers at the widest point, and 0.3 kilometers high. It is very huge, like a behemoth.

"The design is not bad, it's full of technology, a bit like a sci-fi movie."

Through virtual technology, in the virtual world, Qin Yi, Yang Hongyan, and Zhang Jian all turned into villains at this time, looking up at the huge spaceship designed in the virtual world.

"If you add some more weapons to it, it's almost a space battleship."

Qin Yi touched his chin and said.

Spaceships and space battleships are actually the same in essence, but the difference in function is whether there is a supporting weapon combat system. Of course, because spaceships are used for combat, there must be more consideration and design in the design. strict requirements.

"It seems that it is necessary to start people to study weapons in the space age. In the future, if you want to colonize interstellar space, you can't do it without cannons."

Qin Yi thought to himself, thinking about the scene after adding weapons to this spaceship.

"Boss, this Qinglong spacecraft is designed to have a mass of 1.2 million tons and an estimated maximum power of 0.2 standard power. It is equipped with the latest second-generation anti-gravity engine and uses the latest atomic matrix batteries for energy..."

In the virtual world, Yang Hongyan began to surround this huge spaceship and began to introduce Qin Yi incessantly.

Because it is made of all-steel, the mass is very large, but in the sky, in the case of microgravity, the larger mass does not have much impact.

The standard power mentioned by Yang Hongyan is based on theoretical calculations. If the second-generation antigravity engine runs at full power, it can push the heaviest object mass in space.

Because the second-generation anti-gravity engine technology uses the huge gravitational force of stars, although it has just begun to be manufactured, the technology is still very rough, but according to computer calculations, the first second-generation anti-gravity engine can push a maximum of 1 billion tons of mass. celestial body.

Because there was no standard in the past, scientists also set this number as the standard power, that is, if the engine can push 1 billion tons of objects in space, then it has a standard power,

According to the design, this 'Qinglong' spacecraft has 0.2 standard power, which means that it can push objects up to 200 million tons.

PS: There is no influence of gravity in space, and a small force can push objects of great mass.
