Chapter 390, the research ship Kuafu
The Dragon's Lair Space Factory, a small anti-gravity spaceship, slowly approached and slowly moored.
Inside this anti-gravity spaceship, Qin Yi looked at the busy Dragon's Nest Space Factory in front of him and seemed to be in deep thought.
"Qin Yi, it's time to get off the spaceship at the Dragon's Nest Factory."
Dressed in professional clothes, Lin Fang's figure was perfectly outlined, she came to Qin Yi's side and reminded gently.
"Oh, how did you get there so soon?"
Qin Yi came back to his senses and looked out the window, just now he was actually studying in the science and technology tower in his mind, so the whole person looked stunned, as if he was thinking about something.
Qin Yi got off the spaceship and soon came to the Dragon's Nest Space Factory.
The huge Dragon's Nest Space Factory is very busy, and every dock is busy here, and you can see the huge keel built here in the dock from afar.
Around the huge keel, the mechanical arms are busy, and at the same time, in the void not far away, anti-gravity spaceships, small space vehicles, etc., are also busy, coming and going, extremely busy.
The entire Dragon's Lair Space Factory is like a huge beehive, and countless small bees are constantly working hard around this hive.
Qin Yi was very familiar with this space factory, and he walked around the space factory very casually.
Soon, Qin Yi came to a shipbuilding dock, this shipbuilding dock was no different from other shipbuilding docks, but the spaceship in the dock was almost completed.
The "Kuafu" spaceship, this spacecraft and other spaceships are obviously not the same batch of spaceships, and it is not included in the mass production plan, it is a spacecraft designed and built separately.
Because other Qinglong-class spaceships are used to mine asteroids, this 'Kuafu' spaceship, its role is completely different, it is a spacecraft used for scientific investigations.
After more than ten years of development, human beings have stepped out of the earth and begun to truly move towards the interstellar space age, and now they have begun mining on the moon and asteroids in the asteroid belt.
Even some foreign organizations are preparing to go to Mars to investigate and see if there is water on Mars, whether it is possible to transform it into an asteroid inhabited by humans, and so on.
Because it is convenient and cheap to travel to and from space, countries on the earth also send probes into space I don't know how many probes have been launched, such as Mars probes, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter probes, and so on.
Even a few years ago, the official side of China also launched a small spacecraft probe in the direction of the Centauri galaxy, which is expected to take about 100 years to reach the Centauri galaxy, and then explore the situation of other galaxies outside the solar system, looking for aliens and the like.
It can be said that with the expansion of the scope of human activities, human beings themselves are constantly exploring everything in the outside world, and they naturally want to grasp the environment around them as much as possible.
In the past, relying on traditional rocket technology, the cost of launching satellites and spacecraft was prohibitive, so even though some countries have launched many probes, the information that these probes can collect is still very limited.
For example, on the topic of whether there is water on Mars, if it was ten years ago, scientists could only give a guess, but now, with the increasing number of satellites, probes, logins, etc. launched to Mars, scientists have found water at the north and south poles of Mars, and it can be concluded that there is water on Mars.
At the same time, about the history of Mars, whether there will be very prosperous life in the history of Mars, why Mars eventually became dead and silent, whether it is possible to transform Mars and other topics are very hot now.
However, due to the limitations of conditions, technology, funds, etc., human beings have not landed on other alien planets except Mars until now, and the way of scientific investigation is mainly to rely on the transmission of information from unmanned probes sent back for analysis.
This is far from satisfying the needs of scientists, who need more information so that they can better plan human activities in interstellar space.
As pioneers in the field of science, scientists from the Galaxy Academy of Science have long applied to Qin Yi for an expedition to scientists around the solar system.
I hope that Qin Yi can build a state-of-the-art spaceship, which will be specially used to conduct scientific investigations of the solar system, explore all the mysteries in the solar system, and lay the foundation for future development.
As a result, the 'Kuafu' spaceship in front of me was born, and the construction of this spacecraft did not have any commercial purpose, but was purely for scientific research.
Since the 'Kuafu' spacecraft is a scientist's research spacecraft, the scientific and technological content on it is naturally the pinnacle of human science and technology.
Although the engine used is the same as that of the Qinglong and Xuelong spaceships, it is a second-generation anti-gravity engine, which is the engine on the 'Kuafu' spacecraft, and all the large parts are cast in space using a single piece of casting.
The keel of the spaceship is also made of whole castings as much as possible, and the cost of building this spaceship is much higher than the cost of other spaceships, and it also takes more time.
In addition, the materials on the 'Kuafu' spacecraft are also made of the latest technology, many of which are alloy materials using gold, not to mention the material performance, the price alone is very expensive.
But all this is not in vain, the 'Kwafu' spacecraft, its engine has a thrust of 800 million tons of thrust, if you go further, it can almost use the full power of the second generation of anti-gravity engines.
With such power, it's a big part of the power it can use to orbit the solar system for scientists' expeditions, the solar system is too big to have enough speed, and just flying in the void is enough to exhaust all your passion.
Once the 'Kuafu' spacecraft is fully powered, theoretically speaking, its speed can exceed 500 kilometers per second, and the maximum speed can even exceed 1,000 kilometers per second.
In addition, the 'Kuafu' spacecraft also carries the most advanced guide rail run developed by the Galaxy Science Research Institute, which is a weapon system that can be used to defend itself and protect the spacecraft when needed, and can also be used to destroy some asteroids and the like when necessary.
As for quantum communication and quantum computers, these are even more standard, powerful computers can calculate data, simulate scientific experiments, quantum communication can allow the spacecraft to maintain real-time contact with the earth, and transmit all the information and data back in time, so that scientists on the ground can conduct research and analysis without delaying time.
Unlike the spaceships sold by Galaxy Technology Group, the communication technology is still an old communication technology, and there is a long delay in sending information back from the asteroid-shaped belt, and the communication is extremely inconvenient.
It can be said that this spaceship is the pinnacle of human science and technology at present, and it is the crystallization of human science and technology.
