The first thousand and sixty-five chapters build the space shipbuilding dock in advance and adjust r

The two of them wandered around for a whole day, before they finished the main area quickly. It was really too big. This is still an interstellar mining and transport ship.

If it is an interstellar warship of the same size, the weight will be at least 10 times that of the current one, because the internal structure of the interstellar warship is more complicated, and it is not as spacious as a transport ship.

Generally speaking, star warships do not need such a huge size. The length of the medium-sized star warship he designed has just exceeded 10 kilometers, and the length of small star warships has only just exceeded 1 kilometer in length.

After shopping, the two went home directly. There were still a large number of general-purpose robots busy on the scene, and a steady stream of supplies were transported into the starship to prepare for the first flight.

"You really don't plan to participate in the first flight ceremony of the starship?" After returning home, Pei Qing couldn't help asking.

If it were anyone else, it would be difficult to remain calm in the face of such a great achievement, and he would definitely attend the first flight ceremony of the starship, because Pei Qing knew exactly what it meant.

In recent years, it is not that no one has said that Ye Zishu's wealth is too large and is not conducive to social development. It is only the establishment of the social security fund that has not caused excessive panic in the society.

The social security fund covers almost all people in the country, allowing them to fully enjoy the dividends of economic development. Although they do not have much real assets, they live a carefree life.

For ordinary people, as long as they live a relaxed and prosperous life, it doesn't really matter who controls their assets. After all, how much assets can they control.

Compared with the control of these assets in the hands of some people, in the hands of Ye Zishu, they have gained more benefits. This is the reason why ordinary people have not caused particularly serious conflicts about him controlling such a huge asset.

This does not mean that no one has an opinion on this, as long as people have desires, ordinary people's desires are relatively simple, while some people's desires are a bit greedy.

Greedy leaf books don't think it's a bad thing, as long as they are doing well and sitting upright, some people want to make money, and they can't create huge wealth by themselves, so they want to carve up the wealth created by others.

Although these didn't have much effect on him, they still made people feel uncomfortable. If he could make an appearance at the first flight ceremony of the starship and stand in the c position, the situation would be completely different.

From now on, no one would dare to take his idea casually. The starship is not just a starship. It represents the real beginning of human beings going to the starry sky. The people who designed and created it have unimaginable achievements.

Of course, if he doesn't participate in the first flight ceremony of the starship, his achievements will not be obliterated, but ordinary people don't know it well, and those who know the inside story will not pretend to be deaf and dumb.

"What's there to participate in, and it's not really a cross-generational product!" Ye Zishu said with a smile.

The technology in the starship is advanced, but that's the case for Ye Zishu. In terms of combat effectiveness, it is even worse. Not to mention the development of targeted weapons, even if he personally wears super equipment, he can instantly turn it into scrap iron.

Super equipment is real space equipment. For the technological level of the starship, it is a real dimensionality reduction strike. A direct space squeeze can compress the starship into an iron ball.

"You can't measure it by the technology you have. Starships can be regarded as epoch-making technologies and products in the current era, even hundreds of thousands of years later." Pei Qing said angrily. ... If he said this to the outside world, someone would definitely say that he is pretending to be x, but Pei Qing also knows something, and ordinary technological products are really vulnerable to power with real rules.

December is a torment for many people. A considerable number of people want to witness the moment when the starship is launched, and some people are anxious about the earthquake in the Indian Ocean.

At present, it has not been confirmed whether the starship launch ceremony will be broadcast live. It is not that there are many confidential things. From the outside, there is not much to see except that it is very big.

If it was just a live broadcast, I was afraid of scaring people all over the world. Even Pei Qing stood in front of the starship with a strong sense of coercion, as if she could really choose someone to eat.

Ordinary people are likely to lose their minds and bodies in the face of such a behemoth. This is a powerful technological product that has never appeared since ancient times. It not only reminds of its huge size, but also its technological level is top-notch.

According to the meaning of his subsidiaries, he believes that live broadcast is more beneficial, because after the live broadcast, all his subsidiaries are definitely synonymous with high technology, and their market competitiveness is much stronger.

For the same product, they can sell at a higher price, because consumers are willing to pay for the brand, and can save a lot of cost in other aspects. In short, there are many benefits.

At present, they are communicating with relevant departments about whether to broadcast live. The reason is that the starship is not an ordinary product. Whether it will affect the international situation requires the relevant departments to make a judgment.

In fact, the announcement of the starship news has already affected some things. For example, international iron ore suppliers want to raise prices, thinking that the previous selling price is too low.

Before, they didn't know what my country was buying billions of tons of iron ore for each year. A few years ago, they only imported one or two billion tons a year. In the past two years, the scale of imports has expanded to five or six billion tons.

In addition, the resources obtained by Kirin Resources Development Group from seabed mining are also increasing day by day. This year's mining scale has exceeded 4 billion tons, which shows the extent of my country's demand for resources.

In addition, we also import a large amount of crude steel and finished raw materials, and the combined amount is not low. In short, in recent years, our country has definitely been regarded as a "gold" swallowing monster.

It is precisely because my country's demand for resources is so strong that the trade between my country and the world remains relatively balanced, which greatly promotes the development of the global economy.

In fact, relying on the scale of our country's import of resources, some people have already guessed that some projects may be secretly carried out, but it is not clear what the project is.

Now it is finally clear to the world that these raw material suppliers naturally want to increase the price. There are not only the interests of the suppliers, but also the interests of some forces behind them.

Although we cannot stop us from building star fleets, we can increase our costs by increasing the price of raw materials, reducing the number and scale of our construction.

It’s just that iron ore and other bulk mineral resources have signed long-term prices, especially iron ore. The last time a fixed supply price was signed was very long.

As long as we don't agree to increase the supply price, they have nothing to do, but they can reduce the supply of resources to get in the way. After all, in the agreement signed at the beginning, there is only a minimum annual supply. As long as the minimum is met, it is not a violation. ....And considering the demand for resources of the starship, if you want to continue to build, the resources cannot be supplied in time, which will slow down the construction speed. This time, the construction of a starfleet only took 2 years.

If the supply of resources is insufficient, it may take more than ten years in the future to build an interstellar fleet again, which greatly slows down our development speed.

If they want to speed up the construction, they must partially agree to their interest demands, but Ye Zishu is not particularly concerned about the increase in resource prices, but cares about how many resources are still available for them in the world.

You must know that this medium-sized starship weighs as much as 35 billion tons. It is basically the same as the resources accumulated by him and the country for so many years.

The weight of the iron element used here is as high as about 30 billion tons, and the world's proven iron ore reserves are only about 180 billion tons. The smelted steel, calculated according to the highest grade, is only a little over 100 billion tons.

In fact, the resources that can be exploited on the surface of the earth are completely unable to support the needs of the entire shipbuilding plan, and the real resources still have to be obtained from the universe.

This time he went to the starship construction base in person, and he really understood the problems encountered in building starships on Earth, so he believed that the future construction of starships should still be placed in space.

Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the original plan. The original plan is to build the second star fleet immediately after the first star fleet is built, until the funds cannot keep up in the short term.

But now he believes that a space dock will be built soon, and the second fleet will be built in space, so that larger interstellar ships can be built.

While the outside world is almost all focusing on the first flight of the starship, Ye Zishu spends time on the design of the space starship manufacturing dock.

According to his design, the scale of the space starship dock is also very large, and it can build interstellar ships of the 100-kilometer level, with a total length of more than 200 kilometers.

The most important thing is that there are various industrial supporting facilities inside, which can process raw materials into various parts in space, and directly move the starship industry chain to the starship manufacturing dock.

Although the technology of starship manufacturing dock already exists, the difficulty of design is even more difficult than starship, because it is not only used now, but to meet the needs of future starship construction.

After a day of thinking, Ye Zishu plans to design the starship manufacturing dock into a multi-stage combination dock. On the one hand, it will reduce the difficulty of construction, and on the other hand, there is no need to make it so large at once to reduce resource and capital consumption.

He intends to divide the dock into sections of 5 kilometers, each section can be disassembled into 4 parts, each part can act independently, and has independent energy supply, power system and avionics command system.

But generally every section works together, and the middle is hollowed out, and the starship to be manufactured is placed in the middle of the four parts, so that the starship under construction can be directly surrounded, and there is a 360-degree operating space.

Although this design system is more complicated, it is more suitable for the current situation. The current combined space dock only needs 12 sections, a total of 48 parts.

If you want to build a large starship in the future, you only need to simply increase the number of nodes. Not to mention building a 100-kilometer-class starship, it is not impossible to build a 1,000-kilometer-class starship. ….It’s just that as the size of the starship becomes larger and larger, each section is no longer 4 parts, but as the volume of the starship increases, there may be eight or more parts to form a section.

Ye Zishu has been designing the space dock since returning from the starship manufacturing base, and finally completed the design of the entire space dock on December 30.

It's just that the cost of the space dock is even higher. He made a simple estimate. Although the cost of each section is slightly different according to its function, the average cost of each section is 50 trillion yuan.

The total cost of 12 sections will be at least 600 trillion yuan. On earth, it is unimaginable to spend tens of billions of yuan. When we step into the interstellar space, we realize that the investment of tens of billions of yuan is nothing more than that.

With so much money earned by his businesses, he can collect these funds, but if he really spends 600 trillion yuan, basically there is not much left.

This will inevitably seriously affect the domestic economic development, although he is eager to build the entire space industry system and lay a solid foundation for the space age.

However, people’s livelihood should not be harmed because of this. People should feel the progress of the country every year, and at the same time, they can also share the dividends of development. To stabilize people’s livelihood, economy, and society, the space industry can develop steadily only if these three things are done well. .

In addition to the huge demand for funds, another condition is whether the resources are sufficient. The earth's resources are being consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even if countries want to make money, they have to consider the consequences of resource depletion.

At that time, either the resources will increase significantly, increasing the cost of starship construction, or simply reduce the export of resources to leave something for future generations, and they cannot sell all the resources in their generation.

In the early days of the development of the space industry, resources were more important than money, so he believes that solving resource bottlenecks is the current top priority.

Therefore, he plans to follow three steps, first use the resources of the earth, and build 4 sections. These 4 sections are mainly equipped with pre-links such as resource refining, material processing, and parts production.

The total cost is about 20 billion yuan, and the industries under him can still be used, and the earth's resources consumed are not so terrible, and all countries should be able to accept it.

At the same time, immediately dispatch this interstellar fleet to mine resources on Spirit God Star. Spirit God Star has a mass of 272 million trillion tons, a very high proportion of metal content, and very rich mineable resources.

And this medium-sized transport ship, calculated according to the density of steel, has a fully loaded transport weight of nearly 30 trillion tons. As long as it returns with a full load, it is enough to solve the immediate resource dilemma.

The third step is to wait until the 4-section dock is launched, and the rest can be built based on the 4-section dock. By then, let alone 12 knots, even 20 knots will not be a problem.

He believes that such a plan is more feasible. Otherwise, with the rapid consumption of the earth's resources, countries are very cautious about the sale of resources, resulting in skyrocketing prices, and finally the project may not be able to proceed.

He is not like some countries, where others will rob if they don’t sell. He is a serious businessman, never forcing others to do what he wants, and doing business is always what you want.

After figuring it out, Ye Zishu uploaded all the design and technical data of the space dock to the Protoss Group, and then the Protoss Group decomposed the technical data and sent it to various suppliers, allowing them to adjust the production plan as soon as possible. ...Because the space dock is too big, not only is it large in size, but also very heavy in weight. If it is placed in the outer space of the earth, if it falls, it will be a super meteorite hitting the earth, which will definitely cause a major disaster.

Although this probability is almost negligible, but for the sake of prudence, he placed the spaceship dock in lunar orbit, and at the same time can support the lunar base and help mine mineral resources on the moon.

Most importantly, if there are temporarily inexhaustible resources, they can also be stacked directly on the moon. The surface gravity of the moon is relatively small, and the energy consumption of transporting these materials is much lower. .

If it is placed in the earth's orbit, it is estimated that people will be watching every move of the spaceship dock every day. It is better to stay far away.

In order to unify the consensus and let everyone understand the meaning and importance of the plan, Ye Zishu held a special meeting that night to explain the plan adjustment in detail.

In view of the various mineral suppliers who want to increase the price of minerals, Ye Zishu thought about it, and it is absolutely necessary to increase some, otherwise they will not cooperate with their hands and feet, which will delay the completion of the plan.

Anyway, the money thrown out will eventually return to his own hands, and it can also stimulate the export of his products and benefit the whole world. Otherwise, many countries must have opinions in their stomachs.

In terms of starship operations, Ye Zishu requires that all general-purpose robots cannot be used. It is not that it is not good, but that more starship pilots need to be trained, but those who can board the starship are absolutely trustworthy.

Interstellar travel and space resource mining are a brand new industry. Although he has established a very complete management system and operating procedures, it does not mean that it is the best.

Appropriately involving some people can help improve management and operating procedures, and even make better suggestions for the development of subsequent starships, which is much better than simply involving general-purpose robots.

However, the number of people participating in the initial stage will not be very large. Leaf Book believes that the ratio of 9:1 is used. An interstellar transportation and mining fleet requires a total of at least 100,000 people, which means that 10,000 people have the opportunity to work on the starship. .

Leaf Book only gave 2 years for the construction of the 4 docks, because he thought that after two years, the mining team would return with a full load. If the construction of this side has not been completed, it will slow down the overall pace.

In order to cooperate with the transportation of materials, he thinks that 5 small transport ships will be left on the earth, and the medium-sized interstellar transport ships will take the remaining 5 small transport ships to the Spirit Star to mine.

At the meeting, he asked about the research and development and production of the mining imitation microbe technology given before. If the microbiological mining technology is not used, the speed may be slower if only mechanical mining is used.

There is a big difference between interstellar mining and earth mining, especially mining on asteroids. There is no good focus, and the gravity is relatively small, or even negligible. Using machinery is not necessarily easy to mine.

If you use mining imitation microorganisms, sprinkle them directly on the asteroid, and wait for these imitation microorganisms to replicate themselves while mining, and the growth rate is exponential.

Then take back all the imitation microorganisms, and then classify the imitation microorganisms, which is equivalent to mining the mineral resources by classification. Later, they only need to be further refined before they can be transported to the place where they are needed. ... "We have completed part of the production of imitation microorganisms for mining purposes. We have the ability to mine common conventional metals such as iron, copper, gold, silver, and aluminum. The research and development of imitation microorganisms enriched with high-quality elements has not yet been completed."

Ye Zishu was very happy after hearing this. The periodic table of elements is really a bit long. Some elements do not need to be mined. Currently, the demand for conventional metals is the largest. If there are not enough rare metals, they can be produced by Kirin Energy Industry Group.

"Since this is the case, you should immediately bring these imitation microorganisms for mining, so that the mining efficiency is much higher than mechanical mining, and the risk is also lower." Ye Zishu said with a smile.

"Do you want to use this method to mine underground minerals on the earth?" Guo Dongmei asked.

"Forget it. It is still impossible to accurately predict the consequences of doing so, and the resources on the ground can still meet the requirements, and there is no need to ask for the earth's resources in the future."

Although he has calculated that the mining of underground resources will not cause irreparable consequences, he is still more cautious and will not mine if he can't. After all, there is only one earth.

Even if Mars and Venus are transformed to be suitable for human habitation in the future, the earth still has an irreplaceable significance. If it can’t be destroyed, try not to destroy it unless it is absolutely necessary.

In the end, the investment scale for the construction of 4 docks has increased from 200 trillion yuan to 300 trillion yuan, giving various ore suppliers room to raise prices, and let them supply ore resources with all their strength, and don't play tricks.

Anyway, as long as these 4 docks are built, the reliance on them will not be so great later, but it is estimated that there are not many resources left in their hands.

In addition to these arrangements, Leaf Book asked the remaining five small starships to send one to Venus for exploration. If possible, they would carry out atmospheric modification and imitate microorganisms to bring them there.

To transform Venus, the first step is to transform the atmospheric structure of Venus. If this problem is not solved, the Venus transformation will be out of the question, and this step will take a lot of time. The sooner it is done, the better.

At the same time, he also plans to send a ship to Mars, not to transform Mars. Currently, Mars does not have the conditions for transformation, but to conduct scientific research on Mars and Venus to understand more detailed data of Mars.

The Jinxing renovation plan is led by Kylin Environmental Industry Group, and other companies that need assistance send personnel to participate in the project team to formally operate the plan.

The scientific research on Mars is led by the Kylin Resource Development Group, with the full participation of the Taiji Group and the Kylin Agricultural Development Group to see if there is life on Mars and what the mineral resources are like.

The meeting was held very late, and it didn't end until 2 o'clock in the morning. Finally, all these plans were arranged, and it was up to them to do it next.

During the design of the interstellar dock by Ye Zishu, the Indian Ocean followed the script of the previous life, and a magnitude 9.3 earthquake occurred on December 26.

It can be said that this day is one of the few, when everyone is staring at the Indian Ocean, even the very hot topic of starships is eclipsed on this day.

Everyone seems to be waiting quietly to see if the Xinghuo Group's prediction is accurate, because our country insists that it will happen, and many countries have to take countermeasures.

Even if the governments of these countries that may be affected are reluctant, they have to take countermeasures. Therefore, on December 26, it was designated as a dangerous coastal area, and everyone was evacuated to a place farther from the coastline.

The price to pay for this is very high. If it is not accurate, the Xinghuo Group may be drowned in spit, but the Xinghuo Group does not care, anyway, they are an enterprise composed of artificial intelligence and robots.

There will be no psychological pressure due to external pressure or abuse, and he only released a piece of news, which they did not force other countries to listen to, and the responsibility does not lie with them.

It's just that when the earthquake really happened, many people didn't know whether to be happy or depressed. Anyway, when the tsunami of tens of meters came head-on, everyone felt lucky.

Although a large number of assets were lost, the casualties were only single digits, and it is unknown how these people died. These people should have confrontational personalities.

The more others warn them, the more they like to fight against them. As a result, in front of nature, they don't care about their emotions and personality, and they pay the price of their lives.

It is also because of this accurate prediction of the Indian Ocean earthquake that the Xinghuo Group became famous, and their earthquake early warning system has returned to the public eye, and some countries are beginning to plan to cooperate in this regard.

Because some scientists estimate that if there is no accurate prediction this time, hundreds of thousands of casualties will be caused, property losses will be greater, and tourism in these countries will be hit harder.

However, as time gets closer and closer to January 1st, the starship has become a hot topic in the news again. Everyone wants to have a glimpse and feel the shock brought by the behemoth of the starship. .
