Interstellar Industrial Age

The outer space of the earth is very lively and prosperous, with spaceships coming and going, huge space stations, solar power stations, space villages, etc., as well as countless satellites of all kinds.

In today's outer space, it has reached the point where all aircraft have to be managed in a unified way, because once an accident occurs, there may be a domino effect, destroying all the space buildings in the entire outer space of the earth.

After all, in space, all objects fly very fast, whether it is a satellite, a spacecraft, or a space station, a space city, etc. that remain relatively stationary with the earth, and the speed of all these buildings is at least a few kilometers per second.

If the terrifying speed collides with each other, the consequences will be absolutely devastating. This is also the most basic principle of space weapons and space-based weapons.

High-speed objects, according to Einstein's mass-energy formula, the faster the speed, the greater the energy they carry. Attacking the ground from space, even dropping a tungsten rod, is enough to destroy the world. Of course, the premise is that this tungsten rod does not burn out due to friction with the earth's atmosphere.

In the busy space, spaceships are constantly rising and falling from the earth, and there are also spaceships flying from the earth to the moon, and spaceships full of lunar minerals flying back from the moon.

In the direction of the moon, a huge spaceship is constantly flying towards the earth in the void.

Its figure is so huge that it immediately attracted the attention of countless people. After receiving the news, almost all the staff in space looked at this huge spaceship.

It is 1.2 kilometers long, 300 meters high, and 500 meters wide at its widest point. It looks like a giant fish soaring in the ocean.

"God, the Chinese people are so crazy that they built such a huge spaceship~"

Some foreigners couldn't help drawing a cross on their chest, lamenting the madness of the Chinese people.

"This is the 'Qinglong' spacecraft built by Galaxy Technology Group. If only we could have such a spacecraft."

Some people can't help but red-eyed. People who work in space basically know some knowledge about space, spacecraft, etc.

It is very clear that the bigger the spacecraft is, the more powerful it is. It is like a ship sailing on the earth's oceans. There are only a handful of countries that can build aircraft carriers in the world. This is a manifestation of a country's comprehensive strength.

Now let's not talk about building such a huge spaceship, even small anti-gravity spaceships all need to be imported from China.

This has made countless foreigners deeply feel the technological gap between China and China, and feel that they are like tiny ants. In front of such a huge spaceship, they can only look up.

The 'Qinglong' spacecraft slowly flew to the outer space of the earth, and then chose an orbit to start flying around the earth. It is in the trial stage, preparing to supply supplies on the earth's side, and then start the real trial in the solar system.

On the ground, Huangping Town Xinghe Aerospace Industry Base.

Above the huge airport, spaceships are slowly closing their hatches anyway. These spaceships are filled with various materials, including food, water, compressed air, and various other things. Inexpensive resource exploration satellites, communication satellites, etc.

In the past, satellites belonged to high-level things. The cost of manufacturing a satellite and launching a satellite was not cheap. Generally, only national-level organizations and institutions can play it.

But now it is completely different. There is even a private technology company in Huaxia, which specializes in manufacturing satellites. The price is cheap, and it can help you launch them into space.

So the satellite thing is really bad street now.

This time, the Galaxy Technology Group has produced thousands of satellites, all of which are packed and ready to be shipped to the 'Qinglong' spacecraft.

An anti-gravity spaceship keeps taking off from the ground,

It quickly disappeared into the sky, and in a few minutes, it entered space.

Soon, these anti-gravity spacecraft constantly adjusted their orbits in space, turned into the orbit of the 'Qinglong' spacecraft, and slowly approached the 'Qinglong' spacecraft.

Compared with the huge 'Qinglong' spacecraft, the first-generation anti-gravity spacecraft is very small. The huge hatch above the 'Qinglong' spacecraft slowly opened, and at the same time, there were strong and powerful mechanical arms stretched out. .

When the first-generation anti-gravity spacecraft approached, these robotic arms grabbed it directly, and then fixed it firmly, as if to grab it into their huge belly.

The hatch of the anti-gravity spacecraft was also slowly opened, and some astronauts in space suits came to the middle with the help of the robotic arm.

Then began to use the virtual machine to control the mechanical arm with the mind to unload the cargo in the first-generation anti-gravity spacecraft and transport it into the 'Qinglong' spacecraft.

Thanks to the integration of mechanical technology and idea technology, the robotic arms are very flexible and have been widely used. The robotic arms are extremely flexible, and all the goods are transported in just ten minutes.

Inside the huge 'Qinglong' spacecraft, there are also robotic arms in the huge warehouse. The robotic arms outside carry the materials to the door, and the robotic arms inside classify and store the goods.

Soon, the hatch of the first-generation anti-gravity spacecraft that completed the transportation of goods slowly closed, and the mechanical arm of the 'Qinglong' was also released, allowing it to slowly leave itself.

The previous spaceship left, and soon, another spaceship slowly approached, one after another, these spaceships were like hard-working little bees, constantly collecting nectar to feed the huge spaceship 'Qinglong'. The queen bee has too much appetite.

Ground, Huangping Town, Astronaut Training and Training Center of Galaxy Technology Group.

"Our mission this time is to go to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids, because our 'Qinglong' spacecraft has limited power and can only drag objects of up to 200 million tons. For the sake of safety, we can only choose the largest To haul it back on a 150-million-ton asteroid."

On the podium, Wu Renjie explained the task this time to the PPT, and also glanced around his teammates.

The entire action team has a total of 21 members, including men and women. They will complete an unprecedented feat in human history, that is, go to the asteroid belt to mine an asteroid and come back, opening a new chapter in the interstellar mining industry.

"Everyone, this time our trip is expected to take about 3 months, and it will be a very long interstellar trip."

"In the vast universe, we will be very alone, and there are only 21 of us around. I can't guarantee that this mission is safe."

"Because the 'Qinglong' spacecraft has not really conducted a trial flight, it just flew from the moon to the earth. For it, it is just Zhang Fei eating beans, a piece of cake, our mission this time is its real test voyage."

"So will there be any problems? I don't have any bottom line in my heart."

"If someone is afraid, they can quit now, and the company will never be embarrassed by this. Everything is voluntary."

Looking at the teammates in front of him, Wu Renjie said with a smile.

He is not alarmist, nor is he trying to scare people. Although he is very confident in the company's scientists, and he is also full of confidence in the 'Qinglong' spacecraft, it is better to say some things up front.

Of these 21 teammates, only 12 were really astronauts. These 12 people were responsible for driving the spacecraft. They were all Air Force pilots before, and their fighting spirit was very good.

But the other 10 people, some are the chef team, responsible for cooking for everyone on the spacecraft, and the other is the cosmic astronomy scientist team, responsible for the mass calculation and composition analysis of the asteroid.

There is also a team of spacecraft engineers who have participated in the design and construction of the 'Qinglong' spacecraft. They are very familiar with every structure and part of the spacecraft, and they specially come to repair and maintain the spacecraft.

The 21 teammates, each of which can be said to be carefully selected, are all talents of the interstellar space age. Even the chef on the spacecraft is not just a simple chef, but also has performed spacecraft driving and simple spacecraft maintenance. It can also replace certain positions on the spacecraft when necessary.

As for the 10 astronauts, they are all-rounders. Not only can they drive the spacecraft, but they are also the most basic skills to maintain and overhaul the spacecraft.

If you want to eat and drink in space, you still need to learn a lot. Even if you are a space chef, you need to go through strict training. You can only work with a space chef license.

"Captain, we won't sit here if we're afraid~"

As soon as Wu Renjie's words fell, someone said dissatisfiedly.

Wu Renjie looked over. Long Zhankong, a top student in cosmology and astronomy from Galaxy University of Science and Technology, was a member of the astronomical science team this time.

"Yes, isn't it just to take a trip to the asteroid, what are you afraid of?"

"Mining asteroids, this is a great feat to be written into the textbooks of human history. This is a good opportunity to make a name for the history. Who would miss it."

"That is, I will not quit anyway. I believe that the scientists of our company will definitely not have any problems."

Long Zhankong started, and the other teammates followed suit.

"Very well, it seems that everyone is ready!"

Wu Renjie looked at everyone's expressions, nodded with satisfaction, and then said loudly: "All stand up, let's go~"
