Voyage of the Stars

Everything went according to plan and in an orderly manner.

Although biologists are already hungry and thirsty, and they glance at the Wolf 1061 c planet from the Hope window almost every day, the program is the program, and what should be waited for still has to wait.

According to the plan, in the coming time, mankind will rely on Hope, first build a base on Wolf C-1, and then use its resources to build a space transfer station in its orbit.

Then we will use this transfer station to absorb resources from the Wolf C-1 planet and carry out larger-scale space construction. A series of supporting facilities such as a space dock, a space factory, and a space experimental base will be built.

While planning these functional facilities, according to the original plan, humans would also transfer resources through the space transfer station and build a large comprehensive space station in the orbit of Wolf 1061 c.

This space station will serve as a springboard for subsequent crews to land on Wolf 1061 c.

The reason why a large comprehensive space station needs to be built is because all subsequent research on the Wolf 1061 c planet will be conducted on this space station.

However, considering that humans will not be permanently stationed here in the future, the plan for this large space station was rejected. Well, it was rejected but not completely rejected. The alternative was to design the large space station into a spaceship like the Hope.

It must have all the necessary fusion thrusters, and the design drawings are directly on the "Hope", which is equivalent to building another "Hope".

The purpose of this is very clear, that is, when humans leave in the future, this platform will also be taken away. After all, it would be too wasteful to throw away such a comprehensive space station after use.

This alternative was approved by almost everyone.

It is precisely because of this plan that humans have also made such considerations in the design of other space buildings.

The principle is that it can be packed up and taken away, or simply driven away.

After such a disruption, the various platforms designed by humans completely shifted to another style of painting.

Various buffs were quickly added to the traditional space dock. Requirements such as reserved thruster positions and full disassembly and modularization were required. However, because of the need to use thrusters to drive away in the future, the space dock's The main mechanism is also required to use stronger alloys, and an operation center is added to the dock to control various propellers that will be installed and driven away in the future.

Now that the thrusters are installed, how can the fuel tank be missing?

As a result, what was originally a simple space dock was suddenly transformed into a large spaceship.

After doing this, humans simply decided to build a large-scale mobile dock.

The design aspect is not a problem, because when humans discovered that their material technology could build larger warships, they had already designed large shipyards accordingly. Now they are just adding various functions based on the original design drawings.

It can be said that the previous space dock was equivalent to a rough house, but now it needs to be renovated.

As a result, the space dock on the drawing gradually turned into a huge hollow spacecraft in appearance.

Under the condition of simultaneously meeting the navigation requirements and the limits of human materials and technology, the length of the mobile dock reaches 1,800 meters, the width reaches 1,500 meters, and the height reaches 900 meters.

Of course, the real dock is not boxy, but an ellipse like an egg. This is due to considerations of acceleration mechanics.

And because it is hollow, the mass of such a giant is actually not very large. It conforms to the shape design of the mechanical mechanism, and is supported by several high-strength alloy rods from its outer surface. It can fully withstand the impact caused by the thruster. High G acceleration.

It is equipped with three nuclear fusion thrusters on the top and bottom, one on the left and one on the left. Because the universe environment is a three-dimensional space, it also has auxiliary steering thrusters in the up and down direction of the nose and tail.

In the plan, this mobile space dock will leave here with humans in the future, and in the Wolf 1061 star system, it will be used as a platform for building new warships.

Although humans will not settle in the Wolf 1061 star system, they will not leave soon. They will stay for at least twenty years, and if there are no accidents, it may be longer.

Because the Wolf 1061 star system is so good, with nearly endless resources and a biosphere resource available to humans, it is simply paradise.

Here, humans can replenish the biological resources lost due to the loss of the earth, and can also thrive and expand the population.

With more people, many things will be easier to handle.

For example, some branch sciences that have not been studied before because they are not a top priority can also be included in the science and technology tree research again when there are people.

With people, humans can build more battleships and more residential spaceships. Instead of being like now, there is only one lonely Hope.

All of this requires a relatively stable environment.

Although there is a 'Silver Mist Consciousness' nearby and there is a broadcast from the Galaxy Axis Alliance, humans have no choice but to hope that what is going to happen will come slowly.

In addition to the space dock being designed to be mobile, space stations used for transferring supplies are also designed according to this concept.

Being able to be modularized, packaged and taken away, and equipped with an engine to drive away have become basic requirements for humans to design various functional buildings in the future.

Even the ground resource development base and various resource collection equipment have taken this aspect into consideration to the greatest extent.

As a result, human beings have unconsciously transformed from a settled civilization to a nomadic civilization.

In fact, it is not unconscious. The new government leadership and scientists in various fields have long been aware of this change, but they have not intervened. Instead, they have vigorously promoted and supported it.

The new government has also done special propaganda work in this regard.

Everyone wants to find a planet suitable for human habitation to settle, but there is no way. This dangerous star field does not allow humans to settle.

With this understanding, humans will need more residential spacecraft.

In the planning, the new government believes that during the development of the Wolf star system, mankind will have at least five more residential spacecrafts in addition to the Hope. Moreover, these residential spacecraft will not become comprehensive spaceships like Hope, but will be truly specialized residential spacecrafts.

These ships will be larger than Hope and can accommodate a larger population.

As a result, it is necessary to support various other types of full-time spacecraft, such as scientific research spacecraft focusing on accommodating various scientific laboratories, industrial spacecraft focusing on industrial production workshops, spaceships focusing on material processing, etc.

Since we have to leave in the future, everything that human society should have must be realized on the spacecraft.

Only in this way can humans not have to start from scratch when they arrive at their next destination.

From another perspective, functional requirements such as 'being modular, being able to be packed away, and being able to be driven away with an engine' will also prompt humans to put more effort into folding machinery. In terms of technology, the mechanical structure It must be more precise, more sophisticated, and more convenient.

Of course, under such requirements, the structures of various human mechanical equipment will also become more complex. This will also force humans to specialize in more intelligent artificial intelligence.

As the saying goes, one shot moves the whole body.
