Chapter 39: The Penglai

The remaining two designs, one in the shape of a cigar and one in the shape of an egg.

The cigar-shaped battleship is a modern classic, mostly used in submarines and airships, and even after the wings of the plane are removed, it is also cigar-shaped.

So although the spaceship did not pay attention to the form, this design scheme was also retained.

Egg-shaped is not one of the most stable structures.

But after the results of the subsequent referendum came out, these scientists who analyzed intellectually were all happy.

In their eyes, it is difficult to choose between so many designs with their own advantages and disadvantages, but in the eyes of the people, it is really not a difficult choice.

Wouldn't a spaceship look weird if it wasn't a ship?

And the experience of shipbuilding on earth is also richer, and when there is no strength to directly build a warship in space, the first warship must be built in water.

In accordance with the Chinese naming tradition, the ship was named "Penglai", the place where the immortals lived.

Penglai is designed to be 414 kilometers long, and if there is no clear idea of this length, then the length of Wanwan is 394 kilometers.

Penglai is 414 kilometers long and 120 kilometers wide, and the main shell material is silicon nitride.

As for why steel is not used, the reason is very simple, although there is still more steel that can be used on the earth, there will be more places where steel will be used in the future, such as mechas, fighters, all need steel.

If you insist on building ironclad ships, it is likely that the earthlings will use plastic pots to fry in the future.

And silicon nitride itself is a superhard substance, which is lubricating, wear-resistant, and oxidation-resistant at high temperatures. Moreover, it can also resist cold and heat shock, heat to more than 1000 °C in the air, cool sharply and heat sharply, and will not break.

This excellent ceramic material makes the outer shell of the spaceship, and its performance is no worse than steel!

If you say it from this point of view, in fact, Penglai is still the largest and most expensive porcelain in the world, and what Yuan blue and white and what Ru kiln official kiln porcelain will be crushed into slag in front of it.

If this thing floats in the sky, it is completely a moving bay island.

The ship will carry 360 electromagnetic guns, 1,800 missile embrasures, 5,400 space fighters, and 20,000 mechs.

What, did you say that the Penglai is not a transport ship?

Do you think the transport ship will be for grain cargo? This thing was originally used to transport fighter mechas, and you don't see what is in the belly of the crocodile transport ship of Emperor Luo...

However, in view of the fact that the alligator ship was almost powerless in the face of space fighters and was defeated, Huaxia will also load the transport ship with weapons in the future.

With the size of Penglai, not to mention 360 electromagnetic guns, 3600 can also be placed, but Penglai is powered by two nuclear fusion nuclear power plants, which has to supply all the daily consumption of the entire Penglai, and also set aside a part for backup, only 360 electromagnetic guns can be placed, which is also a last resort.

However, there are few electromagnetic guns, but there are many missile launchers, and when the war starts, there will be tens of thousands of missiles in a wave, and the picture is beautiful when you think about it.

The space battleship is too big, and it is more than enough to put hundreds of thousands of people in it, so it can be regarded as a small country, but even so, there are only positions such as captain and deputy captain on the battleship, but there is more than one position here, which is responsible for the life and ideological enlightenment of the residents in the warship.

Similar to the political commissar in the PLA.

Because a ship captain has to manage hundreds of thousands of people, the military rank set by the government is lieutenant general, which is equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the active field army.

And due to the particularity of the space battleship, his captain's status is definitely a little higher than that of the army commander, of course, this is psychologically high.

At this time, there has been no war for decades, and most of the troops are seniors who have worked hard, and they are lying underground all day long, like some navy, and missile troops are training with virtual trainers all day long.

At this time, it is really difficult to find a fleet commander who is both talented and good-looking.

However, there is still a period of time before it is completed, so let's take the time to select.

There is no hurry.

After the data of the first space battleship came out, the leaders of Huaxia were half happy and half sad.

Happily, with the space battleship, my own civilization also has a little say in the universe.

But there are many sorrows.

The current population of China is 3 billion, and there are 4 million active military personnel, which sounds like a lot.

But the number of people needed to get all the functions of the Penglai up and running is 442,000 people...

Can you believe that the entire Chinese army can only fill ten warships?

So now the government's order is, eugenics, more fertility.

There is a family subsidy for giving birth, and the country that can't afford it will help you raise it, and the country will pay for milk powder, and the country will also pay for school.

Of course, if you raise a child like this, the country will definitely let the child enroll in a military school, but it's also an honor to be a soldier on such a battleship, isn't it?

Anyway, it feels better than the pilot.

Another policy is to vigorously develop intelligent programs.

The current spacecraft needs a lot of people, but as long as they are replaced by intelligent programs in the future, most of the manpower can be saved.

In fact, now that he has recognized his spiritual poetry, one person can play with the entire Penglai, if you add Turing's six million passive intelligence, even if it is tens of thousands of Penglai, they can operate like a play, and they can do better than humans.

However, Huaxia still does not need to use this kind of thinking intelligence as much as possible.

Who knows if they'll rebel.

Ling Shiyu is also happy to be idle, and every day he studies the technology and civilization of Emperor Luo together on Li Shitang's side.

In the book, they also learned that the fifth-level civilization spaceship that carried them at the beginning was still on the Emperor's Falling Star, because they had lost their contact information for many years, and now the emperor's people can't get up.

So the spaceship was covered with loess and trees had grown, and it became a hill.

Li Shitang felt that if he had the opportunity, he could still pull this boat out and study it.

In the silence of space, a few pale blue ripples flashed, and then, an aqua blue planet floated silently.

Originally, according to the technology of the earth, it would take 2,000 years for the earth to reach Magellan, but with Turing's thruster technology, this time was shortened to 800 years.

And now he has obtained the technology of the emperor.

Emperor Fall did not invent fuel technology, and their ship's take-off was offset by a magnetic field generated by strong electricity and a planetary magnetic field.

In this way, the ship will eliminate the effects of gravity, and it will be able to leave the planet slowly without reaching a cosmic speed.

This magnetic field can also cause gravity to be generated in the spacecraft, and depending on the power, the gravity that can be achieved is different.

Emperor Fall can now be adjusted below 44 times gravity.

Although in fact, it can be used by one by one.

Combined with this magnetic propulsion, the speed of the earth can soar, and by then, the time to reach Big Magellan has actually been shortened to less than 400 years.

(Actually, don't say 400 years, 40,000 years can't be reached, but if you really write like this, the earth will be finished, it is too far away from the earth, and there are star streams between it and the Milky Way, and if the earth goes to the Milky Way, it is equivalent to going upstream, and the time it will take is really unimaginable.) )

All of Earth's reflective, discharge telescopes have turned their attention to the Great Magellanic Galaxy and are beginning to identify galaxies and stars in order to determine which sun the Earth will follow in the future.

They also need to find out if there are possible terrestrial planets in these galaxies for earthlings to develop outward.

After all, there are not many resources available on the planet, such as oil, which was dug up years ago.
