Chapter 372, Kaguya is completed

Earth's outer space is very busy, and huge spaceships are being completed at a terrifying speed.

The first few months were just a skeleton, and in the blink of an eye, a huge spaceship appeared in space after a few months.

Mt. Fuji Space City.

A large spaceship appeared next to the entire huge Mt. Fuji Space City, which was full of streamlining and sci-fi atmosphere.

A huge plaster flag was imprinted on it, and at the same time, the three huge Chinese characters of the 'Kaguya' were also very eye-catching, if it weren't for the plaster flag next to it, everyone would think that this was a spaceship made in China.

"It's finally finished~"

Inside the Kaguya spaceship, Chief Engineer Jiro Omura carefully inspected every corner of the spaceship, and he was very satisfied with every design and detail of this huge spaceship that he had poured his heart and soul into.

"It's amazing, it's definitely the best spaceship."

Jiro Omura came to the cockpit of the spaceship, the field of vision here is very broad, you can see the busy scene of the entire outer space of the earth at a glance, the blue earth is like a sapphire standing quietly in the void, and the anti-gravity spaceships come and go in space, constantly rising and falling from the ground, there is a feeling of seeing the mountains at a glance.

"Of course, this is the crystallization of the struggle of hundreds of thousands of our elites for more than a year, and the embodiment of our great Japan's technology and strength."

Next to Jiro Omura, Masao Nakamura nodded solemnly, he was the person sent by the top to inspect the Kaguya spacecraft, and his level was quite high.

"Omura-kun, thank you very much, under your leadership, our scientists and engineers completed the project in just over 1 year."

"Uncle Sam's spaceship is only half complete so far, the European's Columbus is not even a third of it complete, and the polar bear's spaceship is only half complete, we have a big lead, thank you very much!"

Speaking of this, Masao Nakamura bowed very respectfully to Jiro Omura.

"This is what I should do, Kaguya was able to build it in such a short time, it is the result of the joint efforts of all our people, and I dare not take credit for it."

Jiro Omura hurriedly shook his head, he knew very well that in order to build this Kaguya spaceship, the whole of Japan was constantly working hard, ordinary people worked hard and made money, so that they could have more funds to build this spaceship, as for scientists and engineers, it was even more so.

Many people work day and night, and even haven't slept for several days, and they have to return to Earth to rest every few days, but many people have been working in space for several months in a row, and they almost become wasted when they return to the ground.

Everyone's dedication and efforts, he is in the eyes, which is why he is very proud, for a detail, they can repeat, tirelessly carry out many experiments, and strive for perfection, the spirit of the craftsman is vividly embodied.

"Omura-kun is humble, your contribution to this spaceship is seen by everyone, and your contribution is indispensable."

Nakamura Masao smiled, thought for a moment and said, "You said that compared to our Kaguya spaceship and the Blue Dragon spacecraft, how much difference is there?" ”

"The Qinglong spacecraft, which has a mass of more than 1 million tons and is huge, uses a new generation of anti-gravity engines developed by Galaxy Technology Group, which is very powerful and can drag an asteroid with a mass of 150 million tons."

"Our Kaguya spacecraft, although it is also huge, uses 8 heavy launch vehicles to obtain power, even if the power of 8 rockets is fully activated, it is not up to the level of the Qinglong spacecraft, according to our calculations, we can only drag an asteroid with a mass of 100 million tons at most."

"It's a technological gap, like the gap between the steam engine and the internal combustion engine, and although we've done everything to the extreme, the technological gap is like a chasm, and we still have to master anti-gravity technology."

"Only anti-gravity technology is the technology of the real interstellar space age, traditional rocket technology, the thrust is too small, and the cost is too high, the key is that the fuel consumption is very fast."

Speaking of which, Jiro Omura seemed a little helpless and not confident enough, he was an expert in this area, and he knew very well that there was no comparison between the two spaceships at all.

"Then you say, can we rely on Kaguya to mine asteroids in the asteroid belt?"

Nakamura Masao nodded, then thought about it and asked, this is the issue he is most concerned about, and it is also the issue that the whole of Japan is most concerned about now.

It took a huge amount of money to finally build the Kaguya spaceship, but whether this spacecraft can be put into use, whether it can mine asteroids from the asteroid belt and come back, this is the key and the most important thing.

"Yes, absolutely no problem."

Jiro Omura said with great certainty.

"However, we have to calculate everything accurately, the rocket as a power system, it is too fuel-intensive, although our ship is large enough, but most of the space has to be used to reserve fuel."

"Traveling to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids, there are at least 400 million kilometers of round-trip, and although most of the time they rely on inertial flight, the departure and return phases are enough to consume fuel."

"When you get to the asteroid belt, you also need to find the most cost-effective asteroid, this process is undecided, if you are lucky, you can soon find a suitable asteroid to drag back, and if you are unlucky, if you don't have enough fuel, you can only drag an asteroid back casually."

"But there is absolutely no problem in mining asteroids, but we certainly can't have more choices like the Qinglong spacecraft, and we have to calculate everything accurately."

As soon as the conversation changed, Jiro Omura also said very helplessly.

"I know, Omura-kun, you have a good rest, don't rush the construction of the next spaceship, let's take a look at the situation of Kaguya first."

Masao Nakamura nodded, all the circumstances had been figured out.

Soon, with the official completion and launch of Kaguya, the news of the whole of Japan was overwhelming, and for half a month, all the news in the whole of Japan was reported around this huge spaceship.

The completion of Kaguya also caused a sensation around the world, and Japan became the second country after Huaxia to successfully build a large spaceship, and countless countries sent congratulatory messages to Japan for a while.

At the same time, everyone began to pay close attention to Kaguya's trip to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids.

Kaguya uses traditional rocket power technology, this technology is very mature, the most important thing is that there is no difficulty, the countries that have mastered this technology around the world have grasped a handful, and countries with slightly stronger scientific and technological strength can study rocket technology.

Unlike Galaxy Technology Group's anti-gravity technology, only the Chinese people in the world have mastered it, and it is unique, although other countries have studied it for many years, they have not yet figured out what this anti-gravity technology is all about.

If the Kaguya spacecraft can successfully mine back the asteroids, this is an encouragement for everyone, because it means that even if you don't buy the expensive spaceship of Galaxy Technology Group, you can still build your own spacecraft to mine asteroids in the asteroid belt.

A spaceship of the level of Qinglong of Galaxy Technology Group actually offered 5 trillion Chinese dollars, and it really took everyone as a wronged person to slaughter, and if there were 5 trillion Chinese dollars, ten Kaguya spaceships could be built.

However, if the spaceship of Galaxy Technology Group can be cheaper and more expensive, everyone is actually willing to buy it, after all, for a spaceship like Kaguya, everyone actually has no bottom in their hearts, and Galaxy Technology Group's products, although they have always been heartbroken when they buy them, they are very happy to use.

The anti-gravity spacecraft bought from Galaxy Technology Group has not had any problems so far, and the quality is really not to say, expensive is expensive, but the price is worth the goods, and the quality is good.

With a lot of global attention, the Japanese are also under a lot of pressure, and although they were the first to complete the project, it also means that they have to go to the asteroid belt first.

If it succeeds, it is naturally the best, and if it fails, it will be a huge and heavy blow to the whole country, after all, the Kaguya spaceship has been receiving huge attention since the time of its construction, and even Japanese manga artists have created a manga called "One Piece" based on this spaceship, which is sold out of stock in Japan.

The entire country has concentrated its efforts on building a huge spaceship that has taken more than a year to build, and it can only succeed, not fail.

To this end, the Japanese National Academy of Sciences also organized a conference battle again, and a large team composed of many space astronomical scientists, aerospace engineers, astronauts, scientists, etc., made detailed plans for Kaguya's trip to asteroid mining.

From the time of departure, the route of the flight, the speed, the quality of the asteroid mining, the composition, construction, training and so on of the asteroid mining team, almost every detail has been carefully studied over and over again.

Even the astronauts living in space, what to eat at every meal, how much to eat, etc., they have to carefully study and draw up a very detailed plan.

Every detail, every detail, every point has been done to the extreme, and everything about the Kaguya spacecraft and the asteroid mining mission has been calculated in detail to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
