Chapter 274: Moon Dock
Half past eight on Sunday morning.
An Wen took Chen Yun to the private airport.
The Black Dragon stopped on the run, and the 100 geologists who had won the place on the moon had already boarded.
Although they are all sitting in the cargo hold, the temporarily installed seats are also first-class, anyway, the Black Dragon has a large internal space and is not afraid of waste.
"Mr. An, the Black Dragon has been inspected, and all the personnel are ready to take off at any time."
"Let's go, then."
"Okay."
An Wen and Chen Yun were in the cabin and did not go to the cockpit.
"Is it okay without a spacesuit?" Chen Yun asked a little worriedly.
She and An Wen were both wearing civilian clothes, and they didn't wear protective clothing at all, so she was a little worried.
"Don't worry, it's okay."
An Wen waved his hand, as long as he didn't leave the Black Dragon, what kind of protective clothing would he wear.
Besides, it's more troublesome to take it off later.
As the Black Dragon took off, passed through the atmosphere, and came into space, Chen Yun was attracted by the scene in space, and gradually relieved his tension.
"The earth is so beautiful."
Chen Yun unbuckled his seat belt, floated to the porthole, and looked at the blue earth.
To be honest, the first time I came to space, experiencing weightlessness first-hand and seeing the Earth with my own eyes, the feeling was different.
Of course, this is only the first few times.
When you run to the moon every day, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, you will get tired of watching it.
At this time, Chen Yun suddenly felt that her skirt was loose.
When she looked back, she saw An Wen with a wicked smile on her face.
"You ......"
"Hey, hey, hey......"
At the end of the one-and-a-half-hour journey, when Chen Yun stepped out of the Black Dragon, it was still a little floating.
An Wen specially asked the robot to send a hovering motorcycle, put Chen Yun on it, and then took her around the moon.
"Look, isn't there a special beauty to the view of the moon?" An Wen said with a smile.
"......" Chen Yun didn't bother to deal with him.
"Look at the place, which place do you like, how about I build you a palace?" An Wen said to himself.
"What palace, Guanghan Palace?" Chen Yun said angrily.
"Yes."
"Hmph...... If you don't need a greenhouse, you can plant a laurel tree on the moon, and you can do whatever you want. Chen Yun said angrily.
was in a good mood, but An Wen rarely had the heart to take her to the moon, and she felt quite romantic at first.
The result......
It's that she's thinking too much.
"Isn't it just a laurel tree, it's a big deal." An Wen said that it was all right.
Normal plants certainly won't survive on the surface of the moon without any protection, but special plants are no longer listed.
This technology is actually a mining technology, plant mining technology.
Not to mention the Moon, even on the surface of Venus, mining plants can survive.
took Chen Yun around the moon, and the two came to the moon factory.
It is said that it is a factory, but in fact, it is more accurate to say that this place should be called a dock, which is used to make spaceships.
Although there is no anti-gravity technology yet, there is no jump engine or curvature engine.
But that doesn't mean he can't build a spaceship.
Although centrifugal force is used to create gravity, it can look a bit crotch-pulling.
But anyway, it's a spaceship.
Such spacecraft, which can only sail in space, can only be built on the moon before anti-gravity technology.
First, there are too many shortcomings of electromagnetic anti-gravity technology, if it is made on the earth, it is very difficult to take off, and the electromagnetic anti-gravity system alone will occupy a lot of space, and even special design is required.
But to build on the moon, it doesn't need to be so troublesome, the gravity is so much lower, as long as the engine is powerful enough, it can take off directly.
Second, that's the cost, you still have to buy metal on the earth, but on the moon, as long as you can mine it, and you have the processing and production technology, then you can do whatever you want.
This is also the main reason, otherwise the metal materials consumed by a spaceship are an astronomical amount.
"Why are you building such a tall factory?"
Chen Yun looked at the huge factory building in front of him and was very puzzled.
Whose factory is 500 meters high, and the production of ships does not need such a large factory.
"This is the workshop where the spaceship modules are assembled, and of course there is a need for plenty of space. The processing workshop and raw material extraction workshop in front are not so big. An Wen said while observing the factory.
"Spaceship? Are you going to build a spaceship? Chen Yun asked in surprise.
"That's right, a real spaceship, at least a spaceship capable of navigating the solar system." An Wen nodded and replied.
"You've figured out all the technology?" Chen Yun couldn't believe it.
"That's not it, that kind of anti-gravity spaceship, I don't have the ability to build it now, but it's okay to enlarge the current spacecraft."
"Zoom in? There are a lot of technical challenges to overcome, right? ”
"There are no technical problems, mainly material problems, but it just so happens that I am still very good at materials science."
That's right, Anwen's solution is to use materials to forcibly solve some technical problems.
For example, the spaceship he wants to build this time has a length of 1,500 meters, a width of 700 meters, and a height of 600 meters.
But the materials science of the other world is very awesome.
Especially after the previous upgrade, even the Bose-Einstein condensed matter material was made, and the spaceship was such a small thing, it was not easy to catch.
The design of this spaceship is not to upgrade the original equipment through Dawn.
The overall structure and functional modules were designed by himself, and it was only for Shuguang to optimize it later.
"What does a spaceship look like?" Chen Yun asked curiously.
"I'll show you."
Through the retinal projection technology inside the hunter's mecha, An Wen transmitted the three-dimensional simulation animation of the spaceship to Chen Yun.
This spaceship has an arrow-shaped front end, but there will be a huge circular turntable in the middle, a trapezoidal end at the rear end, and 10 thrusters in the tail, including 8 kN-class Hall thrusters and 2 nuclear-powered burst engines.
The front and rear ends of the hull are gravity-free, and supplies and equipment are stored inside, as well as weapons.
The circular turntable in the middle of the hull is the living area and command center, and human beings can't stand it if they don't have gravity for a long time.
"This ...... How much does this spaceship cost? After Chen Yun read it, the first thing that came to mind was money.
ZT is making a lot of money now, but this spaceship doesn't look like a bargain no matter how you look at it.
"The cost? Don't need money, the minerals on the moon are mined casually, and all the robots are used to make them, so what money does it cost except for electricity. An Wen was a little puzzled.
"Uh...... How long does it take to build a spaceship? Chen Yun also found out that he had asked a stupid question.
"Half a year, after all, the robot does not stop working 24 hours a day, and the efficiency exceeds manpower, and six months is enough."
An Wen has seen the construction plan before, and the estimated construction time is 176 days.
"Why hasn't it started yet?"
"Let's press the button, how can I say that this is also a spaceship, there must be a sense of ritual to start work."
