Chapter 682: Spaceship
This scientific research project, Yang Yuping and Wang Jiuliang are both there, in fact, some problems have been explained.
"Youwei, what did you say we came here for today?" Eve leaned next to Han Youwei and whispered.
"Both professors are here, this project must be related to the solar furnace and strong interaction materials, could it be the solar furnace mecha project? You should know this best. Han Youwei guessed.
"It's not the project of the solar furnace to assemble the MEKA, that project is being done by the Weapons Research Institute." Eve shook her head.
After Yang Yuping finished speaking, Fang Zhenguo cleared his throat and emphasized the discipline of the army in a serious tone.
Then, the three of them led a few members of the military scientific research class out of the small conference room, took the elevator, and began to walk down.

Fang Yuan glanced at the number of floors of the elevator and went down to the third basement floor before stopping.
The group then stepped out of the elevator and through a security gate and into a spacious underground workshop.
The moment they saw this underground workshop, everyone opened their mouths wide.
"Wow...... The plane is also too big. Niu Dazhi exclaimed.
"Idiot, have you ever seen an 80-meter plane?" Eve immediately slanted at him.
After seeing the big guy being built in the workshop, everyone knew what it was doing.
This is clearly building a spaceship, an interstellar spaceship that can fly out of the Earth.
More precisely, this is a star battleship, because there is obviously a weapon interface left on it, and it will definitely be equipped with weapons.
At this time, in the workshop, thousands of workers are welding and repairing the starship.
"That's too fast, isn't it?" Fang Yuan was slightly surprised.
In fact, when he knew that the solar furnace had been successfully developed, Fang Yuan knew that this day would come sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
In fact, human beings can create many miracles if they work together in one direction.
Sixty years ago, mankind was able to land on the moon, but after 60 years, instead of making progress in this area, mankind has regressed.
The reason is simple, because the moon landing is not profitable, there is no profit, there is no need to repeat it.
However, now humanity is facing the threat of the Star Beast civilization and the threat of the Parasei's Soul Advent Civilization.
Humanity needs to be able to fly out of the earth and navigate the universe, so with this goal that must be completed, the world's top scientists are engaged in this project, and the progress is naturally fast.
"Is this spaceship already capable of flying off Earth?" Fang Yuan stretched out his hand and pointed at the spaceship and muttered.
"It's not done yet, and whether it can fly is still in the theoretical stage. However, looking at the data, there is no problem. In accordance with the requirements of the headquarters, we have increased the output power of the solar furnace, and we are fully capable of making this big guy fly in the universe. Wang Jiuliang replied.
"Visually, it looks a bit like an airplane." Fang Yuan said.
"That's true, because the Starship was built, we started from scratch, so to speak, based on the Space Shuttle. So in appearance, there is indeed the shadow of an airplane. This is the first generation, and it is impossible to build a flying saucer directly. Yang Yuping explained.
Fang Yuan naturally understood this, every technology was accumulated little by little on the basis of the original technology.
Therefore, the first generation of Starship, based on the Space Shuttle, was developed on the basis of the Space Shuttle, which was a normal route.
Of course, there is a world of difference between a starship and a space shuttle. TVmobile/
Therefore, this starship has only a small shadow of the space shuttle, and from the perspective of the design of various performances, the original purpose is to sail in space.
Moreover, only the solar furnace can support the energy consumption of the starship, so it is also necessary to assemble the solar furnace.
This is also the reason why Professor Wang Jiuliang is here.
As early as half a year ago, Wang Jiuliang's controllable nuclear fusion research team received the task of the state to slow down the miniaturization of the solar furnace and make every effort to promote the output power of the solar furnace.
"Have you already studied the solar furnace for this starship?" Fang Yuan asked again.
The solar furnaces required by the ocean carrier, the nuclear fusion power station, and the interstellar spaceship are all different and need to be designed according to the requirements.
Wang Jiuliang replied with a spring face: "Of course, in the past six months, our team has more than doubled the output power of the solar furnace, which can be used as an energy engine for interstellar travel." ”
"I've called you here today to equip this spaceship with a solar furnace, and there are some core components that need to be fine-tuned, so you need to be there." Yang Yuping took over and said.
Fang Yuan glanced back at Fang Zhenguo, frowned, and said, "You knew yesterday what you came here to do today, right?" ”
Fang Zhenguo put his fist to his mouth, coughed, and did not answer the question.
Fang Yuan felt that he must know the content of today's mission, this guy was working at the War Zone Headquarters now, if he didn't know the content of today's mission, the headquarters would not have sent him over at all.
"Alright, two professors, let's get to work. This is the starting point of human flight into space, and it is hoped that the first generation of spacecraft will succeed. Fang Zhenguo said.
Due to the Starship project, the tests have not yet officially begun, everything is in the theoretical stage, and the results will only be known if the solar furnace is assembled and the test flight is carried out.
Everyone entered the workshop, and then a skilled worker came over with a cart carrying a two-meter-tall guy.
Fang Yuan only had one look at it and knew what was inside.
This is the solar furnace, a reactor made by a controlled nuclear fusion laboratory.
Eight solar furnaces have already been installed on a fusion power carrier and successfully launched to the oceans.
Today, another milestone for humanity, the solar furnace is about to be assembled on the first generation of starships.
This starship may not be the most advanced, but it is the most meaningful starship after all.
Perhaps in a few hundred years, humans will fly a more advanced starship to the universe, but people will never forget this starship.
Everyone worked together to assemble the solar furnace into the engine compartment of the starship.
In accordance with the requirements of technical engineers, Fang Yuan corrected and optimized the material components of the solar furnace with strong interaction force.
After a busy day, six solar stoves were installed.
This was the first day of work, and a total of twelve seats needed to be installed, which could not be completed in one day.
So after the first day's work, everyone rested in the military base and prepared to continue the installation the next day.
After all 12 solar furnaces have been installed, it will take many days to test the engines, and after all the tests have been completed, the final test flight will take place.
Fang Yuan and the others lived in the military base for a month before they completed all the work and entered the final stage.
