Interstellar Industrial Age

The outer space of the earth is very busy, and a huge spaceship is rapidly being completed at a terrifying speed.

In the first few months, it was just a skeleton. In a blink of an eye, after a few months, a huge spaceship appeared in space.

Mount Fuji Space City.

A large spaceship appeared next to the entire huge Mount Fuji Space City. This spaceship is full of streamlines and has a very strong sci-fi atmosphere.

A huge plaster flag was branded on it, and at the same time, the three huge Chinese characters of 'Hui Ye' were also very eye-catching. If it weren't for the plaster flag next to it, everyone would think it was a spaceship made by Huaxia.

"Finally finished~"

Inside the Kaguya spacecraft, Chief Engineer Omura Jiro carefully patrolled every corner of the spacecraft. He was very impressed with every design and detail of this huge spacecraft that he devoted his efforts to. satisfy.

"Fantastic, absolutely top-of-the-line spacecraft."

Omura Jiro came to the cockpit of the spacecraft. The field of vision here is very wide. At a glance, you can see the busy scene of the entire outer space of the earth. The blue earth is like a sapphire standing quietly in the void. An anti-gravity spacecraft came and went in space, constantly rising and falling from the ground, with a feeling of seeing the mountains at a glance.

"Of course, this is the crystallization of our hundreds of thousands of elites struggling for more than a year, and it is the embodiment of our great Japanese technology and strength."

Next to Jiro Omura, Masao Nakamura nodded solemnly. He was the one sent from above to inspect the Kaguya spacecraft, and his level was quite high.

"Omura-kun, thank you very much. Under your leadership, our scientists and engineers completed the project in just over a year."

"Uncle Sam's spaceship is only half finished, the Europeans' Columbus is not even a third complete, and the polar bear's spaceship is only half finished. We have a big lead. Thank you very much. !"

Having said that, Nakamura Masao bowed to Omura Jiro very respectfully.

"This is what I should do. The Kaguya was built in such a short period of time. This is the result of the joint efforts of all our citizens. I dare not take credit."

Jiro Omura shook his head quickly. He knew very well that in order to build the Kaguya spacecraft, the whole of Japan was working hard. Ordinary people worked hard and made money so that they could have more funds to build the spacecraft. As for scientists And engineers, that's even more so.

Many people work day and night, and even do not sleep for several days. Originally, they would return to Earth to rest every few days, but many people work in space for several months. Returning to the ground almost turned into a waste.

He sees everyone's efforts and efforts, which is why he is very proud. For a detail, they can repeatedly and tirelessly carry out many experiments to strive for perfection. The spirit of craftsmen is reflected. Incisively and vividly.

"Omura-kun is humble. Your contribution to this spaceship is seen by everyone, and your contribution is indispensable."

Masao Nakamura smiled, thought about it, and said, "How much difference do you think our Kaguya spacecraft is compared to the Qinglong spacecraft?"

"The Qinglong spacecraft has a mass of more than 1 million tons and a huge size. It uses a new generation of anti-gravity engines developed by the Galaxy Technology Group. It is very powerful and can drag asteroids with a mass of 150 million tons. "

"Our Huiye spacecraft, although it is also huge in size, uses 8 heavy-duty launch vehicles to obtain power. Even if the power of 8 rockets is fully powered, it will not reach the level of the Qinglong spacecraft. According to According to our calculations, we can only drag asteroids with a mass of 100 million tons at most."

"It's a technological gap, like the gap between a steam engine and an internal combustion engine,

Although we have done every aspect of it to the extreme, this technological gap is like a gulf, and we still have to master anti-gravity technology. "

"Only anti-gravity technology is the technology of the real interstellar space age. Traditional rocket technology has too little thrust and too high cost. The key is that fuel consumption is very fast."

Speaking of which, Omura Jiro seemed a little helpless and not confident enough. He was an expert in this field, and he knew very well that there was no comparison between the two spaceships.

"Then you say, can we rely on Kaguya to mine asteroids in the asteroid belt?"

Masao Nakamura nodded, then thought about it and asked, this is the issue he is most concerned about, and it is also the issue that the whole of Japan is most concerned about now.

It took a huge price to finally build the Kaguya spacecraft, but whether the spacecraft can be put into use, and whether it can be recovered from the asteroid belt mining asteroids, this is the key and the most important thing.

"Yes, absolutely no problem."

Omura Jiro said with great certainty.

"However, we must calculate everything accurately. As a power system, the rocket consumes too much fuel. Although our spacecraft is large enough, most of the space must be used to store fuel."

"Going to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids, there are at least 400 million kilometers back and forth. Although most of the time it relies on inertial flight, the stages of departure and return are enough to consume fuel."

"When we reach the asteroid belt, we still need to find the most cost-effective asteroids. This process is undecided. If you are lucky, you will soon find a suitable asteroid and drag it back. If you are unlucky, if you don't have enough fuel, you can only do whatever you want. Drag an asteroid back."

"But there is absolutely no problem with mining asteroids, but we definitely have no way to have more options like the Qinglong spacecraft. We must calculate everything accurately."

After the conversation changed, Omura Jiro also said helplessly.

"I understand, Omura-kun, take a good rest, don't worry about the construction of the next spaceship, let's take a look at the situation of Kaguya."

Nakamura Masao nodded, all the situation has been clarified.

Soon, with the official completion and launch of the Kaguya, the news of the whole Japan was covered with overwhelming reports. For half a month, all the news in Japan revolved around this huge spacecraft.

The completion of the Kaguya has also caused a sensation around the world. Japan has become the second country after Huaxia to successfully build a large spacecraft. Countless countries have sent congratulatory messages to Japan.

At the same time, everyone has also begun to pay great attention to the matter of Kaguya's trip to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids.

The Huiye uses traditional rocket power technology. This technology is very mature. The most important thing is that there is no difficulty. Countries that have mastered this technology on a global scale can grasp a large number of countries, and countries with slightly stronger scientific and technological strength can develop rockets. technology.

Unlike the anti-gravity technology of Galaxy Technology Group, only Chinese people in the world have mastered it. It is a unique job. Although other countries have studied it for many years, they still have not figured out what this anti-gravity technology is.

If the Kaguya spacecraft can successfully mine back the asteroid, this will be an encouragement to everyone, because it means that even if you don’t buy the expensive spacecraft of the Galaxy Technology Group, you can still build the spacecraft yourself. Mining asteroids in the asteroid belt.

A spaceship of the same level as the Qinglong of Galaxy Technology Group is actually asking for 5 trillion Chinese dollars. It really means that everyone will be taken advantage of. If there are 5 trillion Chinese dollars, ten spaceships of Huiye can be built.

However, if the spacecraft of Galaxy Technology Group can be cheaper and more expensive, everyone is actually willing to buy it. After all, for spacecraft like Huiye, everyone has no bottom in their hearts. And Galaxy Technology Group's products have always been It hurts when I bought it, but I am very happy to use it.

The anti-gravity spacecraft purchased from Galaxy Technology Group has not had any problems so far. The quality is really nothing to say, expensive or expensive, but you get what you pay for, and the quality is good.

Affected by the global attention, the Japanese side is also under great pressure. Although it is the first to be completed, it also means to explore the asteroid belt first.

If it succeeds, it is naturally the best. If it fails, it will be a huge and heavy blow to the entire country. After all, the Kaguya spacecraft has been receiving huge attention since its construction, even Japan's The manga artist also created a manga titled "Interstellar One Piece" based on the spaceship, which sold out of stock in Japan.

The huge spaceship that the entire country has spent more than a year building can only succeed, not fail.

To this end, the National Academy of Sciences of Japan once again organized a general battle. A huge team composed of many cosmic and astronomical scientists, aerospace engineers, astronauts, scientists, etc. made detailed plans for Kaguya to go to asteroids to mine asteroids.

From the time of departure, the flight route, the speed, the quality of the asteroid to be mined, the composition, construction, training, etc. of the asteroid mining team, almost every detail has been carefully studied repeatedly.

Even when astronauts live in space, they have to conduct careful research on what to eat at each meal, how much to eat, and so on, and formulate a very detailed plan.

In every aspect, every detail and every point has been done to the extreme, and everything about the Kaguya spacecraft and the mission of mining asteroids has been calculated in detail to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
