Caused by strength, not convinced!

In the era of interstellar colonization, countries urgently needed a large number of spaceships.

All of a sudden, orders for spacecraft and cargo spacecraft of Weile Aerospace Technology flew like snowflakes, and some countries eager to expand their outer space territory even did not hesitate to adjust the structure of their national defense budgets, increase capital investment in the aerospace field, and bid at higher prices.

An ordinary Kunpeng cargo spaceship was speculated to $2.2 billion, and the price and volume were increased, and they all wished to sign a supply agreement with Weile Aerospace Technology first, after all, only with a spacecraft can there be capital to explore the universe.

For such a hot situation, Weile Aerospace Technology is naturally prepared.

The Science and Technology Industrial Park and Nanfu Aerospace Science and Technology Industrial Park in Fukang County have long been prepared for expansion, of which the second phase of the Nanfu project has already been completed, and 5 assembly factories have been built alone, and there are many smart factories.

In order to meet the needs of Weile Airlines' air suppliers from all over the country, the airport has even expanded a second 4E runway, and the port has expanded more berths to increase cargo efficiency.

In addition, in advance, more medium and low difficulty parts and structural parts on the spacecraft will be handed over to suppliers who have a long-term cooperation basis, and Weile Aerospace Technology will be responsible for technical guidance and quality supervision, so as to make the aerospace industry completely bigger and stronger, form a new three-high industry with high quality, high production capacity and high efficiency, and become a new three-high industry with high quality, high production capacity and high efficiency, with an annual output value of more than one trillion yuan, which directly drives the common development of hundreds of thousands of enterprises and institutions, large and small, and directly benefits tens of millions of people.

Some people joke that most of China is busy building spaceships, and some foreign media even commented that China has completely monopolized the high-end manufacturing industry of all mankind, from the most high-end interstellar 10,000-ton cargo ships to industrial intelligent robots, from supersonic aircraft to fifth-generation communication technology and equipment...... Without Huaxia, there would be no era of interstellar colonization!

Hectic and busy, time is rushing.

In a flash, it's December 25, 2023.

After two months of preparation, the 'Interstellar Combat Force', the sixth largest military branch in China, was officially established, the large-scale national defense project codenamed 'Star Sword' was officially approved, and the huge interstellar warship building plan was officially launched.

The news came out, but it did not cause an uproar in the world, because the whole world finally announced Huaxia.

Among other countries, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, where the fastest speed is the fastest, the Aerospace Combat Force was established last month, and a high-profile multi-service joint military exercise has already been conducted.

However, everyone knows that Huaxia has a huge advantage in high-end industrial technology, and the combat effectiveness of the interstellar combat force in the future will definitely be the best in the world, and no country can match it.

Because other countries can only buy various spaceships of the Weile Group, and then modify them on a small scale, the interstellar combat strength formed is limited, while in comparison, Huaxia can have advanced and powerful interstellar carriers, space fighters, etc., and the combat effectiveness is not an order of magnitude at all.

In view of this situation, many countries have sent delegations to China to lobby, hoping to promote the export of the Star series of interstellar carriers, even if they cannot export the whole set, whether they can properly authorize and transfer high-end technologies including plasma engines, anti-gravity devices, ship artificial intelligence management systems, etc., so that their countries can also have a certain development and production capacity.

Just like many years ago, countries that could not manufacture jet fighters asked other countries to buy complete sets of engines, radar fire control, avionics systems, etc., and then took charge of the airframe manufacturing and some small parts themselves, and assembled the high-tech parts they bought, which was equivalent to being able to build jet fighters.

But high-tech equipment such as spaceships is not as simple as jet fighters, and you want to buy technology? Buy core components and assemble them yourself?

This is really feng shui in turn!

In those years, many so-called developed countries strictly guarded against China's access to advanced aerospace and high-tech equipment and technology, strictly prohibited the export of CNC machine tools, high-precision machining centers and other processing equipment, and even on public occasions such as international air shows, it was strictly forbidden for Chinese personnel to take pictures.

On the contrary, this kind of siege has further stimulated the Chinese nation's unremitting fighting spirit for self-improvement and created one miracle after another, and now it is even more dominant in the aerospace field.

But nowhere can it be so easy!

If you want to buy a high-end starship, you can't!

If you want to buy a complete set of technology or even a production line, you can't do it!

The only thing you can buy is that the technical level is slightly lower, but it can only be to buy a spaceship, interstellar cargo ships and other finished products, and after the purchase of maintenance and use, maintenance upgrades, etc., you have to rely on Weile Group, once it is dismantled and repaired, then sorry, Weile Group will no longer provide three packs of service, unless you spend money on overhaul, otherwise you will spend money to buy a new one!

This is just like when China spent countless foreign exchange to buy jetliners abroad, it was not once or twice to be slaughtered, the price was expensive, the price of parts was more expensive, and the maintenance was not cheap.

So......

How many years of grievances have I endured in exchange for today's arrogance!

Too expensive? Thoughtful and meticulous service is expensive?

If you have the ability, you can spend a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to engage in scientific research!

Weile Group has no shortage of customers, and the huge Chinese aerospace industry is not lacking in vigorous development momentum, some orders are to be produced, and all parts of the country are busy, and those who want to bargain, want to buy technology, and want to conspire to steal technical secrets, can die.

Such a strong attitude and unparalleled strength doomed many countries to choose to spend money to buy, because independent scientific research, reverse research and other inputs and outputs are not optimistic, a spaceship has millions of parts and components, and thousands of core technologies, which is a great test of whether a country's comprehensive industrial strength is strong, and this is enough to discourage many countries.

Of course, there are also one or two industrial powers, they are rich and capricious, and dare to disassemble a spaceship for detailed research, but if they want to reverse imitate a spaceship with the same technical level, just the alloy formula and smelting and forging process of structural parts are enough to give them a headache for scientific researchers, not to mention the more advanced and complex large parts such as plasma engines, which are even more difficult to imitate.

And the reverse research has been carried out for several years, even if the imitation is successful, but the technology on the Huaxia side has been updated.

Therefore, imitators can only follow the pioneers, and the slightest carelessness is a 'thankless effort', and it is precisely for this reason that many countries have simply given up the luxury of developing spaceships on their own, cut the budgets of conventional troops, and spent more money on spacecraft, so as not to fall behind in 'opening up territory'.

……

The vast universe, the sea of stars!

Human beings have finally entered the vast universe with great fanfare, and the era of interstellar colonization has entered a period of vigorous development from the embryonic stage, and more and more people have begun to leave the earth and go deep into the universe.

Hundreds of boats compete for the current, and the eagle strikes the sky!

It's the best of times!

This is an era of achievement!

On the New Year's Day of 2024, Weile Space Development Co., Ltd. sent a big gift to the Chinese interstellar combat force.

The 'Star 01' interstellar carrier, which is claimed to have an export price of up to 572 billion US dollars, officially ended its interstellar shipping mission and entered the space dock for closed upgrades, and was donated to the interstellar combat forces free of charge with a new look and interior.

The replacement of the 'Starry Sky 01' interstellar carrier is the lead ship of the Xinghai series of interstellar passenger ships, 'Xinghai 1'.

The interstellar passenger ship can accommodate up to 50,000 people and carry 200,000 tons of supplies, and the reason why the ship can have such a large shipping capacity is entirely because it does not fly into the atmosphere.

After entering service, it will only anchor in the high-orbit outer space home port of the Earth and the planet Dastan, and the universe is non-gravity-free, so it only the size of the interior that determines its carrying capacity.

What can make the interstellar passenger ship fly away from the atmosphere from now on is a scientific and technological concept product that has existed for many years - "space elevator".

The idea of a space elevator has been around for a long time, and scientists have put forward the idea of building a space station in a geostationary orbit of 35,786 kilometers above the Earth's equator, because it is then connected to the ground by high-strength cables to build a carrier elevator that can meet the transmission between people and materials.

This idea is based on scientific theories, and it is completely feasible in theory, and scientists have calculated that if the height of the space station is built a little higher, through a certain amount of acceleration, then it can be like a human throwing a chain ball, in the high-speed rotation movement, to ensure that the cable has been in a straight state.

But the only obstacle is the material!

The 36,000-kilometre-long cable is used in an extremely harsh working environment.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter change the four seasons, different weather temperature, air humidity, wind speed and direction, etc., and the cable is at low altitude, medium altitude and high altitude, and the external environment in different airspace is not the same, and even the gravitational effect caused by the moon and the sun must make the cable withstand severe tests.

It is impossible to meet the conditions with steel wires, alloy steel cables, etc., until Qin Tian has successively completed the B1 and B2 tasks, and obtained the technical data of the fourth-level civilization basic industry and weapons and equipment.

The space elevator jointly developed by Weile Technology and Weile Aerospace Technology first built a new base in the equatorial Indian Ocean corresponding to the 'Sky City', and dug a foundation pit deep in the base, three zigzag distribution of 200-meter-deep foundation pits, using high-strength steel bars and high-standard concrete pouring as a load-bearing base, and then three carbon nanotube material tubes with an inner diameter of more than 4 meters, like three huge load-bearing columns, burst through the atmosphere and stretched into the universe to connect with the space home port of outer space.

Inside the huge carbon nanotube material tube, there is a huge sub-vacuum maglev tunnel, which is like building three maglev railway tunnels to and from outer space from the ground, and then letting the maglev train run vertically back and forth, of course, at this time it is no longer a train, but a maglev elevator.

The maglev elevator continues to accelerate in a near-vacuum environment, and it only takes 3 hours from the ground to the arrival of the space home port, which is faster than taking a spaceship, and the carrying capacity is also very large.

A 12-car maglev passenger elevator can carry 1,200 passengers, while the freight version can carry 1,800 tons of cargo, using the conventional formation of '6 passengers and 6 cargo', which can carry 600 passengers and 900 tons of cargo, which is more efficient than any glorious multi-purpose spacecraft.

In this way, space tourism does not need to arrive at the space tourism base one day in advance and conduct safety training as before, people can take the space elevator to outer space as if catching a train, and then transfer to other places by interstellar carriers, interstellar passenger ships, spaceships, etc., and the flow of people and materials is more efficient.

The emergence of the space elevator has made many countries envious.

It's just that the cost of this space elevator is really expensive, and the total price of up to $20 billion for turnkey projects is enough to discourage many countries.

However, the wealthy Weile Group took the lead in connecting the earth's 'Sky City' and Dastan's 'Space Station No. 1' to the ground with space elevators, and personnel and materials were transported by space elevators, so there was no longer a need for interstellar carriers and spaceships to fly in the earth's atmosphere.

As a result, the price of a connecting space ticket to the planet Dastan has been reduced again.

Personnel first take a plane or passenger ship to arrive at the space base of Weile Space Development in the Indian Ocean, and only need to spend 1,200 yuan to take the space elevator to take 3 hours to reach the 'Sky City' space home port.

Then, for another 5,800 yuan, you can buy an economy class ticket for the 'Xinghai 1' interstellar passenger ship, spend 5 hours to arrive at the 'Space Station 1' running over the planetary synchronous orbit of Dastan, take the space elevator to land again, and then take a train or plane to Damei City or other places on the planet.

It takes less than 12 hours and 10,000 yuan to easily achieve cross-planetary interstellar travel, and the purchase of connecting tickets can enjoy a 10% discount.

For a time, there are more and more people going to Dastan Planet for 'sightseeing and tourism', some people are going to pan for gold and make a fortune, and some people are going to eat, drink and have fun, the population of Dastan Planet has skyrocketed, breaking through the 100,000 daily mark for the first time, and it is still increasing, and so more interstellar passenger ships are in service, and the daily passenger flow between Dastan and the Earth is expected to reach one million people.

Because of this popularity, financial institutions in various countries even immediately followed up and began to open branches and build data centers on Dastan Planet, so that people can finally swipe their cards to consume and settle in other places on Dastan Planet.

10,000 years is too long, seize the day!

As the initiator of mankind's entry into the era of interstellar colonization, Qin Tian did not care about the hot interstellar immigration and space exploration and development boom, he only cared about the preparation of the interstellar combat force.

The ships and equipment required by the starfleet can be produced with high intensity and speed, and Weile Group has opened the explosive mode on the earth and the planet Dastan, and it is not difficult to build interstellar warships, but what about talents?

Thousands of dollars are easy to obtain, but talents are hard to find.

In addition to advanced combat equipment, the most important thing is to determine the level of combat effectiveness.

Bitter cold winter.

A Weile Airlines' 'Feiyun' supersonic passenger plane, carrying out a passenger charter mission, roared across the sky and went straight to the depths of the northwest desert......
