Volume 2 The Road to Redemption Chapter 100 Space Transport Ship
Wu Yi's task was to get Shi Hao ready, and when the time was ripe, he would go to Mars and get back Minsk's autograph.
Wu Yi also revealed that when Minsk marched into Mars, the strength of the starship had not been up to standard, so he went to Huaguo for help and got some Haoshi nano coating solution.
After Minsk was founded on Mars, China first recognized it, and later China also got Minsk's help to establish a Mars base, and he shared a lot of information and data about Mars.
If it was just to get Minsk's signature, the staff of the Mars base in China could have completed the mission, but Minsk also proposed that a large number of laser guns and laser cannons, as well as a large number of oxygen generators and preparations, and a nuclear fusion reactor.
Minsk will take the silicon Akashi mined from Mars in exchange, the establishment of the space dome is needed a large amount of silica Akashi, Shi Hao is responsible for transporting the silica Akashi, Lei Shiyou at the meeting repeatedly stressed the importance of exchanging silica Akashi with Minsk.
In the past decade or so, China has spent its main energy on building a lunar base, and the construction of a Mars base has just begun, and there is no exploration and mining capacity.
There are relatively few silica akashi mines on the moon, and the content is not high, so in order to ensure the smooth progress of the earth's space dome project, it is necessary to find another way.
In view of the importance of this trip to Mars, Wan Guoyong promised that the first starship will be handed over to Haoshi Group as a transport ship, and when fully loaded, the gravity offset rate of the new starship has reached 90%, and it can easily take off from the Earth into space, let alone from the Moon and Mars.
At this meeting, the ownership of the first starship transport ship in space was finalized, and a state-owned enterprise in Huaguo and Haoshi Group jointly established a joint venture company, named Huahao Space Transportation Co., Ltd., and Huaguo leased the starship to Huahao Transportation Company to engage in space interstellar transportation business.
This trip to Mars, deducting the lease fee, Huaguo also had to pay Huahao Transportation Company a transportation fee, the purpose of the country's operation is to build a space transportation fleet, before the outbreak of space trade.
After a month of preparatory work, Haoshi Group issued an announcement to participate in the establishment of Huahao Space Transportation Co., Ltd., to undertake the transportation business between the earth, the moon and Mars, and announced the relevant data of the first transport ship, Huaguo defined the starship as the "Earth" class, and the first two starships were defined as the "Moon" class.
At the same time, it was announced that Shi Hao, chairman of Haoshi Group, would leave for Mars in a month to complete the first space trade with Minsk.
For the safety of the first starship and to obtain complete driving data, the pilot was sent by the military, and two engineers were on board the ship for a long time to do data collection work.
Wan Guoyong recommended two retired pilots to Shi Hao to accompany the ship, ready to be trained as a reserve force.
During the summer vacation, Xu Yuan knew that Shi Hao was going to Mars, grandpa was long, grandpa was short, she was studying space economics, on earth, Shi Hao's Haoshi Group would soon become the originator of space trade, and Xu Yuan wanted to follow to Mars in the name of practice.
Shi Hao's first time to Mars, the first voyage of the new starship, there are too many unknown factors, Shi Hao will not take it lightly, and sternly refused Xu Yuan's request, but looking at her pitiful appearance, he promised to take her to space for an internship when she reaches her junior year, whether it is the moon or Mars, she chooses at will, but there is one, academic performance should be among the best, and urging the younger generations to study hard has always been the tradition and hobby of the elders of Huaguo.
Although China currently has passenger and cargo space routes from the Earth to the Moon, it all need space elevators to transfer to near-Earth space, and then transport to the Moon through passenger ships and cargo ships.
If you use a nova starship, the capacity will be greatly increased, the speed will be faster, the anti-gravity device can take off vertically from the ground all the way to outer space, and the cost of the same weight of cargo to the moon will be about the same as before.
At present, although many countries and customers want to cooperate, there is only one starship, which can only be scheduled, and the small tonnage is still transported through the space elevator, while the large tonnage or large cargo can only wait slowly.
Huahao Transportation has also offered to lease a new star ship from the military, but it is expected to be delivered in a few months.
Ten days before leaving, Wu Yi called Shi Hao over again and said that because the new starship visited Mars, it proposed to take the opportunity to transport a large number of materials to Mars and officially expand the Mars base.
But according to the feedback of the Mars base staff, if you want to expand the Mars base, you must first find a way to clean up the potential threats on Mars, as for what threats, I don't know very well, they asked to bring some high-end combat power over, and also put forward the same requirements as Minsk, laser guns, laser cannons, oxygen manufacturing equipment and preparations, and a huge number of small high-pressure gas tanks, and the expansion must also require energy, so let the above bring an additional set of nuclear fusion reactors. In addition, in order to solve the problem of ground communication on Mars, bring a quantum communication satellite, and the nova ship must first release this satellite into the orbit of Mars when it reaches the sky over Mars.
As for the high-end combat power, Wu Yi has been notified more than ten days ago to start upgrading for Laura, Big Man, Lao Hei, Black Feather, Wufeng, and carrier pigeons, all of whom have been upgraded to the Taishan level, and it is expected that in another five days, these people can all be upgraded, plus Wang Ping and Mickey, to form a Shenglong team, which will face the complex environment of space and complete various tasks in space.
Back in Luo City, Wu Yun-fat asked Shi Hao to bring Jupiter over, and the war pets would also be upgraded to the Taishan level to match their combat power.
The Earth-class starship is larger than the Moon-class, with a length of about 450 meters and a diameter of about 150 meters.
The head area is the central control room and the cabin, which is divided into crew cabin and passenger cabin, which occupy about a quarter of the space. At the rear are two fusion reactors, one dedicated to anti-gravity devices and the other for the entire starship. It occupies about one-fifth of the space.
The remaining space is all cargo pods, which are filled with containers containing laser guns, laser cannon components, nuclear fusion reactor components, many intelligent construction robots, exploration and mining robots, small hemispherical special glass for the moon and other building modules for building Mars bases, which can be assembled directly on Mars. Others, such as daily necessities, production materials, office communication equipment, etc., fill the entire cargo compartment.
Just three days before departure, Ilev and Katerina came to Huaguo to find Shi Hao. The tall Katerina wore an off-the-shoulder long dress, her beautiful collarbones loomed, and the purple gems inlaid on the two earrings set off the elegance and mystery of the person, summed up in two words that are charming, Tian Ying saw Katerina pouting her small mouth slightly.
Katerina said that she has retired and is now the owner of a company, and her goal is to enter space, to cooperate with Haoshi Group, and this time she is here to represent the company on Mars. As for whether it is on behalf of the company or the Russian Federation, Shi Hao did not study it in detail, she must have come prepared, the Russian Federation has an unmanned base on Mars, it is not difficult for Katerina to go to Mars, and Shi Hao is also happy to be a favor.
Ilev is very direct, he is here on behalf of Ukraine, hoping to follow Shi Hao to space to investigate, and Ukraine hopes to establish a base on Mars in the future.
Before the arrival of these two people, the Russian Federation and Ukraine had already communicated with China in advance, and they came over with the relevant procedures, which saved a lot of trouble.
Wang Ping took Laura, Mickey and a group of eight people to report to Luoshi with their respective war pets, all of them are Taishan-level, standing together with more momentum, everyone's temperament has a sense of heaviness, and Shi Hao is more similar.
Everyone's war pets are also built according to the standards of Taishan-level bionic robots, Ah Hu is still the image of a leper dog, but after consideration, in order to increase agility and strength, Wang Ping asked Wu Yunfa to make it thinner, but the body size is a third larger.
Considering that the Moon and Mars do not have an atmosphere or the atmosphere is very weak, they cannot spread their wings and fly, and the original flight pet of the carrier pigeon cannot be used, so they directly brought ten drones, and the paint color refers to the Martian camouflage, which is easy to camouflage, and the drones are surrounded by four small ion thrusters, which are propelled by ion vortex to fly, and the cost of each of these ten drones is comparable to that of a bomber.
There is no change in other people's war pets, the teeth of each war pet are still made of materials used in special daggers, and each war pet has a built-in rice earphone, which is connected through quantum communication, and can actively establish a connection with the owner's headset after activation.
Each war pet is tied with a special armor, the fabric is the same as the fabric of Shi Hao's protective suit, and the armor is surrounded by straps and buckles, which can be equipped with ion thrusters before going out on a mission in space to avoid floating into space and not being able to return.
Shi Hao and Wang Ping's protective clothing has also been re-modified, thickened, and added an anti-radiation protective layer, and the hood is directly attached to the protective clothing, which can be put on at any time. Titzan-class robots are theoretically safe in the space environment, but these protections are needed just in case.
The suits also have straps and buckles, and they also need ion thrusters to go into space, so that they don't get lost in space.
The carrier pigeon has not been idle recently, and has developed a glasses, which are a bit like swimming goggles, which can be tightly fixed to the eyes, and the lenses are also a screen, after wearing glasses, the screen is turned on to give people the feeling that there is a large-size projection at a distance of three or four meters, and this projection can project the content on the holographic phone watch screen.
If they encounter a battle again, they don't have to stare at the small watch screen to find their teammates, and they can see it at a glance through the lens screen. Everyone activates the positioning function, and the screen represents their position with a red ring, their pet is a red solid dot, and the other teammates are green rings, and the green dot represents their teammates' pets.
The weapon is a special heavy laser gun, and can fire magnetic storm bullets and metal gun bullets, and the size of magnetic storm bullets and metal gun bullets is also relatively large, which is not a problem for the Tarzan class with perverted weight-bearing ability.
Flying cones and special daggers are still standard, but everyone has an extra laser short gun that can be fired 30 times, Lu Wei lived up to his trust, went to contact a military energy research institute, and found a battery that had just been successfully developed with a smaller size and larger capacity, the battery can be replaced and charged.
On the day of departure, Ilev was dressed in a military uniform, Katerina was dressed in a strong suit, and both of them had weapons in their backpacks, Katerina was still carrying the bulging crossbody bag, and according to the regulations, the weapons of non-Chinese personnel should be handed over to the crew for safekeeping, but the satchel Katerina said that she had to carry it by herself, and Shi Hao agreed when he saw that she insisted. Tian Ying's equipment is the same as Wang Ping's, but it is equipped with a light laser gun.
Because the first stop of this earth-class starship's maiden voyage was Mars, Shi Hao directly named the starship "Earth Fire", and Wan Guoyong sent a new type of military frisbee, and they were ready to go.
