To make it, you need to send its corresponding metal seeds to space orbit other than the earth, or directly to the moon, before you can start construction.

This first step is simple, and rockets that can launch satellites on Earth can be completed.

Then, it is necessary to start construction in space, which requires that the earthlings must constantly send raw materials into space.

If the spacecraft can grow to at least 200,000 tons, it will need to send at least 200,000 tons of materials into the sky, and 1 million tons to make it fully mature.

But now the last time the earthlings were in space, it was very difficult, not to mention 1 million tons of materials, even if it was 200,000 tons, it was tantamount to a fool's dream.

But it immediately occurred to some people that the reconnaissance planes on the first type of spacecraft in front of them were able to enter space at will.

However, these reconnaissance planes themselves weigh only 10 tons, and the carrying capacity of a single plane is also about 10 tons.

In this way, the material that can be brought up at one time may not exceed 10 tons.

In this case, it would take a total of 100,000 sorties for a spacecraft of 1 million tons to reach full maturity.

They all know that the seeds of the first type of patrol boat, there are 4 in total, and each of them has 32 aircraft on it.

If you count each plane and fly once a day, it will take a total of 781 days.

It will take more than two years to build a supership of 1 million tons that can sail freely in the solar system, which is still quite feasible.

But the premise is that you must first build 4 patrol boats and learn how to use them.

The scholars discussed a long time, and the final key point was that the patrol ship should use the carrier-based aircraft of the patrol ship to send the raw materials for the construction of the spacecraft to space.

Twenty minutes was over quickly, Chen Chen woke up on time, stretched his waist and stood up, and walked in front of the big screen in the conference room again.

The scientists, who had been waiting for a long time, began to ask questions almost immediately: "Mr. Chen Chen, may I ask, how to build the previous patrol boat?" What raw materials do you need, and how much time does it take to complete one? ”

Chen Chen asked with some confusion, "Weren't you interested in spaceships before?" Why did you suddenly ask about the patrol ship in a hurry? ”

Wu Lao spread his hands: "Because everyone believes that a 1 million-ton spaceship can only be built in interstellar space, which requires a large amount of raw materials to be sent to space."

"Then, everyone thinks that the fastest way to transport is the carrier-based aircraft on patrol ships, which can break through the atmosphere and carry about 10 tons in a single sortie.

"In this way, a total of four patrol ships, a total of 128 aircraft, each running once a day, about two years to transport enough raw materials into space."

"Uh......" Chen Chen was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then couldn't help but smile, "Although it is feasible to use this kind of plane to transport, the speed is too slow!" In fact, there are more efficient ways. ”

"A more efficient way?" Everyone was stunned, and at such a moment, everyone didn't think of what Chen Chen said, "Forgive us for being stupid, I don't know what the specific method is?" ”

Chen Chen smiled: "Don't we still have the last type of spaceship that we haven't talked about?" As we all know, there are three types of metal seeds, a total of 8 metal seeds.

"Four of them are Colony Star internal patrol ships, three system frigates, and then one lastly, it's a space mining ship."

"Space mining ships?" Hearing the name, everyone present reacted violently.

Space mining ships, of course, have the ability to mine minerals on the Moon, Mars, and other stars in the solar system.

In this way, the raw materials for building spaceships can be collected directly in space, without the need to provide them from the earth.

And Chen Chen didn't sell it, and directly asked Xingchen to open the last structural diagram.

Chen Chen pointed to the picture on the big screen and introduced: "This kind of mining ship is specially designed to collect and refine various metals in the galaxy, collect and store various fuels, and provide them to other spaceships.

"It comes with a variety of different forms of mineral gathering tools, as well as a large number of complex autonomous robots.

"There's also a metal refining system, a resource storage system and, crucially, the ability to enter and exit the atmosphere on its own.

"This kind of mining ship can reach 500,000 tons of tonnage when it is fully loaded, but when it is completely empty, it is less than 100,000 tons.

"Because more than half of the space inside it is used to store various minerals and energy sources.

"The structure and distribution of the cargo compartment have been specially designed so that when completely emptied, the spacecraft can compress the volume of the cargo compartment and reduce the overall volume very much.

"However, this reduction is only convenient for entering and exiting the atmosphere, and the resistance is smaller, and when it is active in outer space, it basically does not need this function.

"With this ship, we can first collect iron ore and helium-trine directly from the moon, and iron will be used to build spacecraft, and helium-three will power spacecraft inside and outside the atmosphere to provide energy for the future earth."

After listening to the explanation of the mining ship, most of the listeners breathed a long sigh of relief, with this ship, there is no longer any need to worry about energy problems.

Many people began to be excited, and together with their companions, they imagined the future of the space program.

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and it turned out that there were many things that were completely impossible to achieve, and they could have been done at any time.

Plans that used to exist only in delusions can now be carried out.

At the very least, by the time the spaceship is built, travel to the moon may be as easy as a normal flight.

Even if it were to explore Mars, it would probably be just a slightly longer journey.

However, in the midst of laughter, a few people never laughed.

One of the high-ranking military officials, looking at the noisy crowd around him, suddenly frowned and said:

"Mr. Chen Chen, since you started talking about spaceships, I have always been a little puzzled, according to you, this spaceship can only be built in space, right?"

Chen Chen listened, nodded slightly, and said: "That's right, because this spacecraft is specially designed for the space environment, the ontology structure does not consider the internal situation of the atmosphere at all.

"If you forcibly build it inside the atmosphere, you won't be able to fly out."

After listening to Chen Chen's words, this high-level official couldn't help but ask:

"But these metal seeds were thrown into the interior of the earth, huh? If it weren't for our intervention, they would have absorbed the metal resources in the atmosphere, and then when they matured, how would they leave the earth?

"These metal seeds, the creators of these self-growing spaceships, or the ones who release them, they can't have thought about this situation, right? So, how are they going to leave the earth in the first place? ”

Listening to this high-level question, everyone present reacted suddenly.

That's right, since this spacecraft can only operate in space, so why throw seeds into the atmosphere?

Isn't that a complete waste?

In response to everyone's questions, Chen Chen smiled and said: "If you want to fly out, it is not difficult, break through the earth's crust, absorb the earth's core, let the earth be completely broken, the gravitational force is disordered, and the atmosphere escapes, they can fly out!" ”
