The heavy breakthrough in rune technology, coupled with the large accumulation of earth technology, has developed the two technology trees to a new level.

Both technologies have advantages over each other.

The development of science and technology on the earth is relatively mature, and it has brought many conveniences to people, and computers, radars, nuclear power plants, and plasma engines -- relying on these high technologies, we can go out of the planet and into the deep universe without any problems.

Rune technology has great potential, acceleration runes, anti-gravity runes, field energy runes, temperature insulation runes, smelting runes, rebound runes, connectivity runes, and wave runes - these kinds of runes have more than 100 kinds, which can completely build a new set of science and technology systems, and even in the future, can replace the advanced and complex earth technology.

And both technologies must be developed and vigorously developed! It is even necessary to integrate together, complement each other's advantages, and become a super technology that 1+1 is far greater than 2.

Therefore, Tianming summoned a group of earth experts and Blue Star Elders to come over and prepare to develop a new starship, codenamed "Starlight Project".

On the Earth expert side, there were about 100 people gathered.

Led by four top equipment design experts: Ke Zhenhua, the overall designer, Zhuang Jinhui, an energy expert, Yang Zhenwei, the chief engineer of the control system, and Ma Sinan, a communication expert.

These four experts are all over 60 years old and have decades of work experience in their respective fields of work. Just give them a rough idea, and they can design a piece of equipment.

After Tianming summoned them over, the "Starlight Project" was introduced a little, and one by one they danced excitedly, holding Tianming's hand and constantly asking, asking what kind of starship to build? How big? How about the first process? Such a question.

When these experts received the arduous task given to them by the state, it took them 10 or 20 years to develop the equipment. But the problem also comes, once the project is done, the results are out. It's hard to get to the research phase of the next project.

Every research project is a money-consuming investment, a lot of money. In particular, those advanced conceptual equipment that is only on the design drawings, the fifth, sixth, and seventh generations, even if the concept is very clear and conforms to the law of development, the state will not approve the project.

Because the more advanced the thing, the more money invested, and even the gold and silver sea are not exaggerated, and the country must rely on its own economic strength. If a lot of money is invested in the field of science and technology, and it cannot produce results for more than ten years, the impact on people's livelihood will be great.

Of course, it is not wrong for science and technology to move forward, but it cannot be too advanced, and you cannot use the money and technology of the 21st century to study the equipment of the 22nd century, because of which the Soviet Union collapsed. Country H has learned its lesson. It has embarked on a new path of equipment development of "improving the generation, developing the generation, and pre-researching the generation", making steady progress and keeping up with the trend, which is a very scientific development idea.

This raises the question of "copycats". The people of the United States have found that no matter what kind of advanced equipment they have developed, country H can always launch the same or similar equipment after a period of time. There is not much difference in performance, and the price is a mess. In the international arms trade market, the military equipment of country H relies on unparalleled "copycat" capabilities. Makes a lot of money.

"Shameful thief! Nothing but stealing our technology. This is a sentence that the United States often adds after the media reports on some new equipment in country H.

In fact, the people of country H really didn't steal their technology, because any equipment has developed to a certain stage, and it is all figured out in principle, and even the appearance is similar. The experts of country H just used to learn from each other at the beginning of the design, which saved a lot of mental and financial resources. What others have researched for 1 billion meters, H country can spend 120 million yuan to come up with it -- this is the benefit of reference.

Others call this "reverse imitation engineering".

Far from it.

The "Starlight Project" proposed by Tianming is really too advanced, at least 50 years ahead. And there are no financial problems, you can spend as much as you want, how can these experts not get excited?

Ke Zhenhua, the 74-year-old chief designer, couldn't help trembling holding Tianming's hand, his eyes were shining brightly, and said: "Xiaoxu, we will definitely complete this project, and strive to build an interstellar battleship in a short period of time, so that it can have real space flight capabilities!" ”

The "Starlight" planned in the Starlight program: 120 meters long, 20 meters wide, 8 meters high, with an empty weight of about 1,000 tons, is nuclear-powered, and can accommodate up to 380 people in the internal space.

The stored materiel will last for two months.

This is much larger than the small starship that Tianming built last time, more than ten times larger. Naturally, the difficulty of manufacturing is much greater, and Yang Zhenwei, the chief engineer of the control system, said: "It should take three to five months to build it." ”

This premise is still with the help of Tianming's ability.

"It doesn't take three or five months, it's just two weeks."

Tianming smiled confidently and sold it for the time being.

……

There is the Xia aerospace aircraft carrier.

Elder Luo Bo, Elder Maiga, Elder Kaki, and Elder Lingden—the four elders who had profound knowledge of rune research, as well as more than five hundred Blue Star Great Priests, were summoned by Tianming.

Among the nearly 6 million people in the Kingdom of Heaven, there are now more than 20,000 people above the rank of apprentice priest, and there are more than 1,000 high priests with divine power.

A long time ago, the subordinate of the Pangmen God King killed by Tianming, the red-robed Tiejia, a dual-system controller, had extremely powerful divine power. And now in Tianming's Divine Kingdom, there are more than 20 elders whose strength is at the same level as that Tiejia-all of them are not weaker than Tiejia's, plus the Goddess King Michela (now the thirteenth council elder of the Kingdom of God) who was subdued last time, the strength is far above that of ordinary elders, second only to Tianming, the god king.

There were more than 1,000 high priests and above. Tianming sent 500 people over to assist in the creation of the Starlight, so naturally there was no problem.

Three days later, Bai Yunfei's design team took out the design drawings, and the Starlight entered the official construction stage.

The site was still in the Bright Ability Space, and in the Ability Factory, he was able to build the Starship with the fastest efficiency.

The "Starlight" was built using the proven "modular assembly method", which divided a starship into a power system, oxygen circulation system, fuel system, storage system, life-saving system, and runic system - after all the systems were built, they were assembled and integrated, so that the starship was built.

The power system is nuclear-powered. Nuclear energy is used to power the starship's 16 plasma engines at the tail and bottom, each of which produces 150 tons of thrust – a requirement of no less than 2,000 small nuclear batteries.

Two thousand nuclear batteries are not good for simultaneous control, for this reason, Tianming has created a super nuclear battery that is magnified by two thousand times, which is larger than a wardrobe, and the maximum power generation is more than 100 megawatts, which is completely sufficient.

Oxygen circulation systems, fuel systems, and storage systems take up a lot of internal space and are very complex. In particular, the oxygen circulation system requires multiple sets of advanced equipment and computer control.

Plasma engines use less fuel. But it also takes up a lot of space.

There is also food for the personnel to eat, water to use - if it is going to be a long-term trip, half of the space on the starship must be these supplies.

Tianming thought, can't the space box hold a lot of things? If all these materials and fuels that occupy the space are stored in the space box, won't it save a lot of space?

Just do it when you think of it, because the structure of the space box is not complicated, just make it with mahogany, and make a box first. Then inject a large number of space runes and node runes - at one time, Tianming created 10 space boxes with a volume of 10,000 cubic meters.

"What's a space box?"

Ke Zhenhua was very puzzled by Tianming's cancellation of the warehouse design on the starship, and as soon as he heard him say the word "space box", he immediately fell into a daze.

"This is the space box."

Tianming took out a mahogany box and showed him a demonstration. A lot of things were put in and taken out from inside, and Ke Zhenhua was completely speechless in shock.

"That'...... How much can this space box hold, enough to store enough fuel and supplies for everyone on board? ”

"The volume of a space box is 10,000 cubic meters, and I plan to put ten on the Starlight. Do you think it's enough? ”

Tianming's idea is this: ten space boxes, three for air, three for fuel, two for water, one for food, and one for other things, doesn't it add up to exactly ten?

"Ten...... 100,000 cubic meters. At least 100,000 tons...... That's enough! Totally enough! ”

Ke Zhenhua almost jumped up with excitement, he couldn't imagine that there was such an anti-heaven thing as a space box! In the future, there is no need to transport any goods for interstellar transportation, as long as tens of thousands of space boxes are transported...... In these space boxes, the transportation cost of loading a planet's materials is lower than that of a train, isn't this a magical interstellar era?

After Zhuang Jinhui, Yang Zhenwei and other experts knew the function of the space box, they were also stunned for a while, pinched each other a few times, and after this is indeed the truth, they roared, "The Age of Interstellar Exploration is coming!" ”

Then, they roared at each other like madness......

In the weightless environment of space, the most difficult thing to solve is to eat, drink, go to the toilet, take a bath and other problems that can be easily solved on the ground, because everything is floating, and people's brain blood pressure will increase - Tianming can solve these problems with supernatural abilities, but when other people encounter problems like going to the toilet, they don't know what to do at all.

Tianming thought, since there is a field energy rune, why can't a gravitational field come out? Gravity should also be a kind of field.

He took dozens of runes and tried them, fusing the anti-gravity rune with some kind of force field rune, and finally something surprising appeared: this brand new rune can emit a field with gravity properties - as long as the divine consciousness urges, under the action of anti-gravity, all substances with mass will fall backwards, and then form the so-called "gravity".

"Rune technology can even generate gravity, is this the rhythm of God Help me?"

After a while, Tianming developed the "gravity system" to be used by the Starlight, and the problems of eating, drinking, going to the toilet, and bathing were easily solved.

The discovery of the rune fusion phenomenon has made the conditions for the development of rune technology to a deeper level, and its breakthrough significance is no less than another huge revolution.
