The prestige value has decreased a lot all of a sudden, and I just hope that none of my prestige values are in vain, and they can all be converted into comprehensive national strength, and it will not be in vain to cut their flesh once.

When the spaceship built various modules on the surface, only a few people in the upper echelons of the New Tang Empire knew about it, after all, it was good to do secrecy work on the surface, but now these modules have been transported to the berth of Space City through the ladder and are being assembled.

How can this be kept secret, although the satellites of various countries want to monitor the space city, but it has no effect, only a snowflake can be seen.

However, don't forget that the New Tang Empire is open to the outside world for space sightseeing, and there are no restrictions on taking pictures and the like, how can you not be curious when something as big as a spaceship suddenly appears in the eyes of tourists.

No, the spacecraft has not yet been officially assembled, but a rough outline has been assembled, and its photos have already spread to the world.

It immediately attracted the attention and enthusiastic discussion of people all over the world.

"Is this an airplane?"

"Have you ever seen such a big plane, and don't forget where this photo was taken, this is Space City, how can there be an airplane, it must be a spaceship. ”

"It could also be an aerospace fighter. ”

"It's definitely not an aerospace fighter, the aerospace fighter of the New Tang Empire appeared during the military parade, it's not like this, and the volume of this one is obviously much larger than the aerospace fighter, the most likely is a spaceship, you think that since you can build an aerospace fighter, what is there to be surprised about building a spaceship." ”

"What I said upstairs makes sense, give a thumbs up to the New Tang Empire, they are awesome, how long has this ladder just been built, and before it has arrived in a month, this spaceship has come out, does that mean that it is not far to travel in the sky in the real sense." ”

"I think that since the spaceship has been built, the development of the moon is right now, and this year, two big countries have announced the landing on the moon, so it's a good show. ”

"yes, so the lunar immigrants are not far away. ”

"I am now looking forward to the future every day, and many things that I didn't dare to think about before can now be YY, maybe they will be realized at Nuvoton. ”

Netizens are very smart, what they can think of, how could the upper echelons of various countries not think of it, and how could the New Tang Empire not think of it.

The Aerospace Department of Chang'an City is holding a seminar.

"Calm down, everyone, today we have called you over to discuss the establishment of the lunar ladder. Shen Congwen sat in the first seat and said.

Then, when everyone was quiet, he continued:

"The plan for the lunar ladder was actually formulated by us early on, and everyone knows in their hearts that once the lunar ladder is successfully built, then the passage between our water blue star and the moon will be completely opened, which is a problem that our Ministry of Space needs to solve as soon as possible, and we can't drag the empire back. ”

Planets are gravitational, and even planets like Aqua Blue Star have atmospheres, which causes the spacecraft to fly from the surface of the earth to space or descend from space to the surface, which not only needs to consume a lot of energy, but also reduces the life of the spacecraft.

Consuming more energy means reducing the ship's capacity.

And the friction between the spacecraft and the atmosphere will definitely reduce the lifespan of the spacecraft, although the New Tang Empire already has anti-gravity technology, but this is only to reduce energy and reduce friction.

There is no resistance in space, and if a ladder is built on each planet in the future, then the spaceship will be able to communicate between the planets by going back and forth between these planets.

In the vacuum of space, the spacecraft can not only extend its service life, but also only need a little power to allow the spacecraft to use inertia to fly, saving a lot of energy.

This energy may not seem like much in the early days, but in the later interstellar era, the energy saved will be heavenly.

This is the true value of the ladder.

"Tell me, what do we need to do?" Shen Congwen opened the topic.

"The Moon is different from Aqua Blue in that it has no atmosphere, and its gravity is only one-sixth of that of our Aqua Blue Star, and its volume is much smaller than Aqua Blue Star, which means that it is actually less difficult to build a ladder on the Moon than Aqua Blue Star. A young man spoke.

Speaking of which, the Ministry of Aerospace can be said to be the youngest of all the departments in the New Tang Empire, not only has the department been established for a short time, but the officials in it are generally around thirty years old, all of them are young, and even many of them are still alumni.

The young man paused, then continued:

"But at the same time, there is also a difficulty, that is, we need to transport the construction materials of the ladder from the water blue star, and now there are only three spaceships that have been assembled, plus there are only seven in the back, and we also need the spacecraft to explore the surrounding area, explore those asteroids that may have resources, so that the capacity is even smaller. ”

"Maybe we can build an automated factory on the moon now, directly obtain resources from the moon, and produce, we can provide some scarce resources at most, which should be able to save costs, but time is still an unavoidable problem, it is not so easy to build a complete automated factory on the moon, and it is better to need greater support from the empire. ”

Shen Congwen turned his head to another young man and asked, "Xiao Qin, what is your budget for the Moon Ladder?"

He didn't care about these things before, but he approached His Majesty yesterday, and he knew that the empire was now in a state of lack of money, although the empire made money quickly, but it took time.

"Uh. Xiao Qin was really not used to Lord Shangshu's changes, but he still said truthfully: "Back to Lord Shangshu, the construction cost of the lunar ladder is about 1.35 trillion to 1.4 trillion Tang Yuan, of course, this is without counting the four trillion yuan of technical discounts and the transportation cost of transportation from the water blue star to the moon, plus these are more." ”

Xiao Qin, called Qin Shijie, is the liaison officer sent by the Star Road Group to the Ministry of Astronautics, and now although the ladder is operated in the form of a company, it still belongs to the state, so it is affiliated to the Ministry of Astronautics.

Not only has the Star Road Group sent employees to the Ministry of Aerospace, but the Ministry of Space has also sent inspectors to the Star Road Group for a long time.

The radius of the ladder on the water blue star is 120 meters, and the height is 411 kilometers, if you remove the four trillion Tang Yuan of the technical discount, then it means that the construction cost of the entire Heavenly Ladder is 11 trillion Tang Yuan.

The lunar ladder is a miniature version of the ladder because it does not need such a large capacity, with a radius of only 80 meters, and the height is expected to be only about 110 kilometers, and the area of the relative lunar miniature space city has also been further reduced.

The radius is only 500 meters, which is also three floors, and the area of a single layer is only 0.785 square kilometers, that is, 785,000 square meters, which is enough.

When Shen Congwen heard it, there were a lot of them, it was really a headache, and there were transportation costs.
