Interstellar Industrial Age

v2 Chapter 351: Qinglong

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

The stars in the eternal darkness, as charming as the light from distant space and time, make people want to follow the starlight to search for the scenery on the other side.

At this time, the moon was very close. It had already lost its luster, and it was barren that it could be seen clearly in space. Occasionally, it was possible to see the moon bases on the moon with the naked eye.

The ‘Dragon Nest’ space factory is constantly zooming in the field of vision. The closer you get, the more you can truly feel this behemoth. Qin Yi ’s anti-gravity spacecraft is the size of a house.

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

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

Qin Yi recovered his thoughts and wandered towards the 'Dragon Nest' factory.

Moving in space without gravity is actually a very difficult thing, especially if there is no place to focus on around you, you will be trapped in one place and unable to move.

But if there is a force, you only need to push gently with your hands and feet, and the entire person can continue to move forward in one direction. In theory, without friction, you can always fly like this forever.

Soon, Qin Yi arrived at the center of the 'Dragon's Nest' factory. Yang Hongyan and Zhang Jian learned that Qin Yi's arrival was already waiting.

"Still accustomed to life here?"

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

"It's okay, except for three days and two heads to run to the earth, there is nothing uncomfortable."

Yang Hongyan thought about it and said.

"Going to the earth is also for your body's sake. You have been in space for a long time. Because of the absence of gravity, the calcium in the bones of the human body will flow away. If you don't want to be paralyzed, you should keep exercising every day."

Qin Yi said in a serious tone that there are more and more employees in the space age, from anti-gravity spacecraft pilots, space engineers, space astronauts, space workers, interstellar absentees, interstellar waiters, etc. Emerging careers related to space are constantly emerging.

These occupations have a characteristic that they work in space and above the moon, and the working hours of these occupations are very short.

At least half of a month must go back to the earth to take a rest. If you are working in space, it is basically a day of work, a two-day break. You cannot work in space for more than 10 days. .

All of these have strict regulations. The reason is for the sake of good health. If you want to live and work in space for a long time, you must keep exercising every day and move your whole body's bones.

But no matter how you move, the effect of gravity can never be achieved. The invisible gravity on the earth is very important for the living creatures in the long-term. It is exercising the human skeleton at all times. In terms of location, this is far from being comparable to physical exercise in space.

"Relax, boss."

"I still want to go and see and walk in the stars and seas in the future."

Feeling Qin Yi's concern, Yang Hongyan had a smile on his face, which was really unsmiling.

"Just know, you too."

Qin Yi nodded with a smile, then told Zhang Jian again.

"I haven't seen a boss like you. Other bosses are eager to treat their employees as cattle and horses. You're better, but also afraid that we are exhausted."

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

"I am a long line fisher. I want to maximize your value ~"

Qin Yi poked his lips and looked at the huge dock outside.

The second phase of the 'Dragon's 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, you can only see part of it.

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

The manufacture of the engine is very fine, and there are many various components, large and small, and scientists and engineers need a good working environment.

The dock 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 spaceships, its size is very large. Naturally, there is no way to do it indoors, but to put it into space.

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

"All preparations have been completed and the construction of Qinglong is ready to begin."

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

"I heard you disassembled that engine and reassembled it?"

Qin Yi nodded, then asked what seemed to come to mind.

"Well, we think that it cost hundreds of billions of dollars and we can't just use about 20% of our strength. That's too wasteful of resources. It just happens to be familiar with the engine."

Yang Hongyan nodded.

The power of the second-generation anti-gravity engine is 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 ship will be shredded by powerful forces.

At this point, Yang Hongyan, Zhang Jian, and others were very reconciled. During the construction of the second phase of the project, they designed the 'Qinglong' spacecraft while disassembling and reinstalling the engine. I am familiar with every point of the second-generation anti-gravity engine, and then try to find out if I can improve its stability in order to exert greater strength.

"Are there any gains?"

Qin Yi smiled and nodded.

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

Zhang Jian reluctantly said that he had some disbelief at first, and after dismantling it several times and conducting more experiments and tests, he was only able to believe the fact.

"Let's go and see the design of 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 access all the information.

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

It is 1.2 kilometers long, 0.5 kilometers widest, and 0.3 kilometers high. It is very large, like a behemoth.

"The design is pretty good, full of technology, and a bit of science fiction."

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

"If you add more weapons to it, it will be almost a spaceship."

Qin Yi said touching his chin.

The spaceship and the space battleship are actually the same in essence, but the difference in function is there is no supporting weapon combat system. Of course, because the space battleship is used for combat ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ so the design must be There are more considerations and strict requirements.

"It seems necessary to begin to study the weapons of the space age. In the future, if we want interstellar colony, we cannot do without artillery."

Qin Yi thought to himself that he was already thinking about the scene after adding a weapon to this spaceship.

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

In the virtual world, Yang Hongyan began to surround this huge spaceship, and began to introduce to Qin Yi in an endless stream.

Because it is made of all-steel, it has a very high quality, but in the sky and in the case of microgravity, the larger quality does not have much impact.

The standard power mentioned in Yang Hongyankou is based on theoretical calculations. If the second-generation anti-gravity engine runs at full power, it can promote the heaviest object mass in space.

Because the second-generation anti-gravity engine technology uses the gravitational pull of the star, although it has just begun manufacturing and is still very rough in technology, 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 at all in the past, scientists also set this number as the standard power, that is, if the engine can propel 1 billion tons of objects in space, then it has a standard power,

According to the design, the 'Qinglong' spacecraft has 0.2 standard power, which means that it can propel a maximum of 200 million tons of objects.

PS: There is no gravitational influence in space, and even small forces can propel very large objects.
