"Everyone Aiqing probably knows the current predicament, but what is the good solution?" Li Quan hoped that everyone would brainstorm and everyone would pick up materials.

General Liu Ming came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister knows that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and the development of space is mainly for those resources in space, and if you want to get more resources, you need more spaceships to participate in the collection, and you also need a factory to convert resources into spaceships and what we need as soon as possible." ”

"Therefore, Chen Dou dared to suggest that the Mars ladder plan be temporarily stopped, and even the expansion of the Guanghan Palace and the second phase of the Water Blue Star Space City project should be suspended, and first concentrate on building the space factory cluster, when the raw materials will continue to come out, and the number of spaceships will also skyrocket, and then it will be easy to build these large-scale projects, these are the foolish opinions of the minister. ”

When Li Quan heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, these three major projects were advocated by himself, and he postponed them all at once, isn't this a slap in the face?

However, what Liu Ming said is not unreasonable.

Many ministers didn't dare to squeak after listening to Liu Ming's suggestion, this general is really good.

"What do you think of the general's suggestion?" asked Li Quan.

Everyone was silent, and after a while, Zhang Xian stood up, and he was the only one at this time:

"Back to Your Majesty, what the general said is very reasonable, but it doesn't need to be so extreme, we can make new plans according to our actual situation, our Space City of Water Blue Star, at present, there is still a lot of space, even if more and more forces join in now, but it will not be crowded in a year or two, this project can be postponed and built next year. ”

"However, the expansion of the Guanghan Palace is imminent, because 150 square kilometers is already a bit stretched for the lunar base, especially since we will soon sell several residential properties in the Guanghan Palace, and there will be more people at that time. ”

"We all know that the moon base uses the ecological cycle, and unlike the native Shui Lanxing, there is a limit to the number of people he can safely carry per square kilometer, and it is impossible to accommodate millions of people through high-rise buildings like Shui Lanxing, but Guanghan Palace can't. ”

"May I ask Shen Shangshu, what is the upper limit of the population that Guanghan Palace can carry now, and how many people are there now?" Zhang Xian said, turning his head and asking.

"Ge Lao, at present, the Guanghan Palace adopts the current highest-level third-generation ecological circulation system, which can safely carry 800 people per square kilometer, according to the area of the Guanghan Palace, the upper limit of the population set by the Guanghan Palace is 120,000 people, and at present, China's staff on the moon basically live here, plus logistics services and other fixed citizens, the total number is about 15,000 people, and the researchers and staff who are paid by other countries for a long time are about 4,000 people, and the floating population is about 50,000 people, and the total population is currently 70,000 to 80,000 people。 ”

The ecological circulation system has been improving, the first generation, each square kilometer can only safely carry less than 100 people, from the second generation has advanced by leaps and bounds, directly to 400 people, and now the third generation is 800 people, the fourth generation that the institute is researching, that is expected to be able to safely carry 1,000 people.

This research is very important and meaningful for future interstellar colonization.

"However, moon travel is becoming more and more popular now, especially when those consortiums that have just obtained space qualifications enter space, the cost of traveling to the moon will be further reduced, and there should be more and more people coming to play at that time, although our upper limit is 120,000, but under normal circumstances, we will not be fully loaded, at most 100,000, 110,000, we will limit the number of people. Shen Congwen explained.

Zhang Xian nodded: "Thank you Shen Shangshu for the information, judging from what Shen Shangshu said, the expansion of Guanghan Palace is already an urgent matter and must be done." ”

"As for the Martian ladder, Lao Chen's suggestion is the same as that of the general, don't be in a hurry, you can slow it down first, and when the civil space strength becomes stronger in the future, and when their spacecraft become more numerous, we can package some small tasks to them, which should save us a lot of time." ”

The export-oriented spacecraft was developed by the research institute based on the local aircraft of the Aqua Blue Star and the technology combined with the aerospace fighter, which is actually relatively backward.

The New Tang Empire is currently using second-generation spaceships, all of which have conquered the spaceship data exchanged in the system mall, and their overall performance is more than 100 times stronger than that of export spaceships, and the size is more than 10 times that of export spaceships.

The two are simply not comparable.

However, at present, there is only one second-generation spacecraft manufacturing plant, with a total of three production lines, even if it is a fully automated space factory, it will take about half a month for a spacecraft to produce when there are sufficient raw materials and sufficient energy.

This means that the current only spaceship manufacturing plant has a full capacity of six ships a month, so now there are only nine ships in the entire New Tang Empire.

Because such a large spaceship needs to consume too many resources, now it's not that the time is slow, but the resources are a little unable to keep up, after all, several projects were started at the same time, and a lot of export-oriented spaceships had to be produced, which all occupied raw materials.

Li Quan listened to Liu Ming and Zhang Xian's words, thought about it quickly, and knew that what they said made sense.

"The suggestions of the general and the elder are good, so, Shen Shangshu, you will readjust the work plan after you go to the next dynasty, first suspend the water blue star space city plan, suspend the Mars plan, and make every effort to build a space factory cluster. Li Quan made up his mind and said:

"As for the Guanghan Palace, which is limited to 100,000 people, the expansion project will be in the first sequence after the factory is built. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, after the court, I will find an expert to study the adjustment plan. Shen Congwen commanded.

At the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief, the amount of work before was so large, he was in a hurry.

The space factory cluster of the New Tang Empire, which is very huge, floats directly in space, like an asteroid, and will build a giant condenser.

The temperature in the central area where the condenser gathers will exceed 2,000 degrees, and it can even be increased if necessary, and the asteroid will basically be dissolved and smelted directly when it is pulled over, without cutting into the factory or anything.

In addition, due to the vacuum environment of space, or cold and other environments, there is no need for cooling.

Even if necessary, adjust the angle of the condenser, that's a superweapon.

Once the condenser project is completed, the speed of smelting asteroids will be accelerated, and the speed of obtaining raw materials will be accelerated.

"What else does Shen Shangshu have to say?" asked Li Quan.

"Returning to Your Majesty, in addition to these major projects, the minister also wants to report to Your Majesty that the number of people engaged in China's space industry has increased from less than 50,000 last year to 760,000 this year, an increase of 15 times in less than a year, and this trend has not weakened. Shen Congwen reported.

"Oh, that's a good thing, space is the future. Li Quan is very satisfied with this.

"But you can't rush all at once, and you have to pay attention to some rhythm in the space department. Li Quan said before it happened.
