Chapter 355, Ready to Go
The outer space of the earth is very lively and prosperous, with spaceships coming and going, huge space stations, solar power stations, space villages, etc., as well as countless satellites.
At present, the outer space of the earth has reached the point where it is necessary to manage all the aircraft in a unified manner, because once an accident occurs, it may have a domino effect and destroy all the space buildings in the entire outer space of the earth.
After all, in space, all objects fly very fast, whether it is a satellite, a spaceship, or a space station that is relatively stationary with the earth, a space city, etc., all of which are at least a few kilometers per second.
If the terrible speed collides with each other, the consequences will be absolutely devastating, and this is also the most basic principle of space weapons and space-based weapons.
According to Einstein's mass-energy formula, the faster the speed, the greater the energy it carries, attacking the ground from space, even if it drops a tungsten rod, it is enough to produce a devastating effect, of course, provided that the tungsten rod does not rub against the earth's atmosphere and burn out.
Busy space is constantly with spaceships taking off and landing from the Earth, spaceships flying from the Earth side to the Moon, and spaceships full of lunar minerals flying back from the Moon side.
In the direction of the moon, a huge spaceship is constantly flying towards the earth in the void.
Its figure was so large that it immediately attracted the attention of countless people, and almost all the staff members in space looked at this huge spaceship after receiving the news.
It is 1.2 kilometers long, 300 meters high, and 500 meters wide at its widest point.
"God, the Huaxia people are so crazy that they have built such a huge spaceship~"
Some foreigners can't help but draw crosses on their chests and sigh at the madness of the Chinese people.
"This is the 'Qinglong' spacecraft built by Galaxy Technology Group, if only we could have one like this."
Some people can't help but have red eyes, and people who work in space basically know some knowledge about space, spaceships, and so on.
It is very clear that the bigger this spaceship is built, the more powerful it is, just like a ship sailing on the earth's oceans, and there are only a handful of countries in the world that can build aircraft carriers, which is the embodiment of a country's comprehensive strength.
Now, let's not talk about building such a huge spaceship, even small anti-gravity spaceships all need to be imported from Huaxia.
This made countless foreigners deeply feel the technological gap between them and Huaxia, and felt that they were like small ants, in front of such a huge spaceship, they could only look up.
The "Qinglong" spacecraft slowly flew to the outer space of the earth, and then chose an orbit and began to fly around the earth, it is in the trial stage, ready to replenish supplies on the earth, and then start the real trial voyage in the solar system.
Ground, Huangping Town Galaxy Aerospace Industry Base.
On the huge airport, spaceships are slowly closing their cabins, and these spaceships are filled with all kinds of supplies, including food, water, compressed air, and all kinds of cheap resource exploration satellites, communication satellites, and so on.
In the past, satellites were lofty things, and the cost of manufacturing and launching a satellite was not cheap, and generally only state-level organizations and institutions could play with it.
But now it's completely different, there is even a private technology company in China that specializes in making satellites, which are cheap and can also help you launch into space.
So the satellite thing, it's really rotten now.
This time, Galaxy Technology Group has built thousands of satellites, all of which are packed and ready to be transported to the 'Qinglong' spacecraft.
Gravity-defying spaceships continued to take off from the ground, quickly disappearing into the sky, and entering space in a matter of minutes.
Soon, these anti-gravity spacecraft continued to adjust their orbits in space, turning into the orbit of the 'Qinglong' spacecraft, and slowly approaching the 'Qinglong' spacecraft.
Compared with the huge 'Qinglong' spaceship, the first-generation anti-gravity spaceship appeared small, and the huge hatch on the 'Qinglong' spaceship slowly opened, and at the same time, there were thick and powerful mechanical arms stretched out.
When the first generation of anti-gravity spacecraft approached, these mechanical arms grabbed it directly, and then firmly fixed it, as if they were going to grab it into their huge stomachs.
The hatch of the anti-gravity spacecraft also slowly opened, and there were astronauts in spacesuits, with the help of robotic arms in the middle of the two.
Then he began to use the virtual machine to control the mechanical arm with his mind to unload the cargo in the first-generation anti-gravity spaceship and transport it into the 'Blue Dragon' spaceship.
Thanks to the integration of mechanical technology and ideological technology, the robotic arm is very flexible and has been widely used.
Inside the huge 'Blue Dragon' spaceship, there are also mechanical arms in the huge warehouse, the outer mechanical arm carries the materials to the door, and the inner mechanical arm sorts and stores the goods.
Soon, the hatch of the first-generation anti-gravity spacecraft that completed the cargo transportation slowly closed, and the mechanical arm of the 'Blue Dragon' was released, allowing it to slowly leave itself.
The previous spaceship left, and soon, another spaceship slowly approached, one after another, these spaceships were like industrious little bees, constantly collecting nectar to feed the huge queen bee of the 'Qinglong' spaceship, its appetite was too great.
Ground, Huangping Town, Galaxy Technology Group Astronaut Training and Training Center.
"Our mission this time is to go to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids, because our 'Qinglong' spacecraft, its power is limited, it can only drag a maximum of 200 million tons of objects, for the sake of insurance, we can only choose an asteroid with a maximum of 150 million tons to haul it back."
On the podium, Wu Renjie explained the task to the PPT this time, and at the same time glanced at his teammates.
The entire task force, consisting of 21 men and women, will accomplish the unprecedented feat of traveling to the asteroid belt to mine an asteroid and start a new chapter in the interstellar mining industry.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this time our trip is expected to take about three months, and it will be a very long interstellar trip."
"In the vast universe, we will be very lonely, and there are only 21 of us around us, and I dare not guarantee that this mission will be safe."
"Because the 'Qinglong' spacecraft has not really been tested, it only flew from the moon to the earth, for it is just Zhang Fei eating beans, a piece of cake, our mission this time is its real sea trial."
"So if there will be any problems, I don't have any bottom in my heart."
"If someone is scared, they can quit now, and the company will definitely not be embarrassed by this, everything is voluntary."
Looking at his teammates in front of him, Wu Renjie smiled and said.
He wasn't an alarmist, he wasn't trying to scare people, and although he had a lot of confidence in the company's scientists and the 'Blue Dragon' spacecraft, there were some things that were better to say ahead.
Of these 21 teammates, there are only 12 people who are real astronauts, and these 12 people are responsible for piloting the spacecraft, and they are all Air Force pilots before, and their will to fight is very good.
However, the other 10 people, some of them are the chef team, who is responsible for cooking for everyone on the spacecraft, and some are the team of astronomical scientists, who are responsible for calculating the mass of the asteroid and analyzing the composition.
There is also a team of spacecraft engineers who have participated in the design and construction of the 'Qinglong' spacecraft, and are very familiar with every structure and part of the spacecraft, and specialize in repairing and maintaining the spacecraft.
The 21 teammates, each of which can be said to be carefully selected, are all talents in the interstellar space age, even if it is a chef on the spaceship, he is not only a chef, but also has been trained in spaceship piloting and simple spaceship maintenance, and can also replace certain positions on the spaceship when necessary.
As for the 10 astronauts, they are even more versatile, not only can they fly spaceships, but they are also the most basic skills for repairing and overhauling spacecraft.
If you want to eat in space, you still need to learn a lot, even if you are a space chef, you need to go through strict training, and you can only work with a space chef license.
"Captain, we won't sit here if we're afraid~"
As soon as Wu Renjie's words fell, someone immediately said dissatisfied.
Wu Renjie looked over, Long Zhankong, a high-achieving student who graduated from Astronomy at Galaxy University of Science and Technology, was a member of the Astronomical Science Team this time.
"That's right, isn't it just going to an asteroid to take away, what are you afraid of?"
"Mining asteroids is a great feat to be written in human history textbooks, and this is a great opportunity to leave a name in history, who will miss it."
"That's it, I'm not going to quit anyway, I believe that the scientists in our company definitely don't have a problem."
Long Zhankong started his head, and the other teammates also followed.
"Very good, it looks like everyone is ready!"
Wu Renjie looked at everyone's expressions, nodded with satisfaction, and then said loudly: "Everyone stand up and go~"
