The first year of the Milky Way, December 12.

The new Chang'an synchronous orbit space station (formerly the Dongtang synchronous orbit space station).

A combined spaceship consisting of one Qinglong-class Type 2 spacecraft and four Xuanwu-class Type 2 spacecraft is quietly moored next to the space station at this time.

Wang Tiejun and Li Zhongting of the Ministry of Aerospace and Astronautics were floating in the space station cabin, and the two were quietly observing the construction of the spacecraft, the largest spacecraft ever built by the Human Innovation Alliance.

How big is it, exactly?

We can deduce from the specifications of the Xuanwu-class 2-type spacecraft, the specifications of the Xuanwu-class 2-type spacecraft are 6 meters long, 18 meters high, hexagonal cylinder, the total volume is 1683.5 cubic meters, the dry weight is 124 tons, and the payload is about 420 tons.

And the spaceship in front of him is a combination of 1 Qinglong-class Type 2 spaceship and 4 Xuanwu-class Type 2 spaceships.

Its length is 56 meters, its height is 12 meters, its total volume reaches 8513 cubic meters, its dry weight is 846 tons, its fuel reserve is 120 tons (110 tons of plasma fuel, 10 tons of nuclear fuel), 45 tons of human life-supporting equipment (10 astronauts), and its payload is 2000 tons.

"That's a sub-light engine?" Wang Tiejun asked, pointing to a piece of equipment that had just been transported from the ground.

"Yes, it is made by the Ion Engine Research Institute in imitation of the Anluo Xingren sub-light engine, and the two equipment on the side are the Jinwu 3 nuclear fusion reactor developed by the Qinling base." Li Zhongting explained.

"With only 2,000 tons of payload, there are relatively few combat units that can be carried." Wang Tiejun was a little dissatisfied.

Li Zhongting shook his head and smiled bitterly: "My General Wang, this is an experimental spaceship, not a space battleship. ”

"How long will it take to build a spaceship with a full load of 100,000 tons?" Wang Tiejun continued to ask.

"This ......" Li Zhongting hesitated a little, thought about it and replied: "I can't guarantee how long it will take for the time being, after all, no one has ever built this kind of thing, and we must see the test of this experimental spacecraft." ”

"Alright! Just wait for the test situation of the experimental spacecraft. ”

"Don't stress too much." Li Zhongting patted Wang Tiejun on the shoulder and comforted.

Wang Tiejun did not answer, but quietly watched the construction of the experimental spacecraft, under the blue of the blue waves, the insignificance and greatness of human beings were contradictory and unified, he secretly clenched his fists in contemplation.

The construction of the experimental spacecraft is getting faster and faster, and in the mooring area of the new Chang'an, a spacecraft assembly plant has been renovated.

Countless materials, parts, and equipment were transported from the Blue Star ground through mass projectors, but this situation soon changed, as the Lunar Industrial Zone and the new Wuhan Synchronous Orbit Space Station (Space Factory) will gradually assume the production of some parts to reduce the over-dependence on the Blue Star ground.

At the same time, there are two other mass projectors on the Blue Star Ground, which are located in Omsk in the West Siberian Plain, and Lake Carnegie in the Western Australian District of Australia.

The construction progress of these two mass projectors has caught up with the Wenchang mass projector, after all, the Wenchang mass projector is an international project, and the mass projector of Omsk and Lake Carnegie is used by the Human Innovation Alliance itself, of course, it cannot be used by foreign workers.

Obviously, the crazy actions of the Human Innovation Alliance in the past few months have put a lot of pressure on both the Mi Lijia and the Xizhou Alliance, especially the Low Earth Orbit Legion has already arranged a small space fleet of 500 people on it.

Although the deployment of weapons and troops in outer space by the Human Innovation Alliance violates the outer space treaty, at this time the Human Innovation Alliance can already ignore international rules, and countries have nothing to do.

For example, a certain West Asian earth dog that danced happily was directly pressed to the ground and rubbed by a team of Xingtian mecha squads, and it was a back and forth friction, which was also the first time in the world that the world had seen the terrifying combat power of the Human Innovation Alliance.

Whether it is a precision-guided missile, or a saturated rocket artillery, or even a sea of aircraft or a sea of combat vehicles, it is useless, and the Xingtian mecha is simply invincible, and it is an invincible state without cooling.

In November, Wang Tiejun also organized a low-earth orbit airborne exercise, dropping 10 space-type Xingtian mechs from low-earth orbit to the ground of the Blue Star.

These terrifying deterrents suddenly silenced those beam-jumping clowns, afraid of being found fault by the Human Innovation Alliance.

……

December 18th.

The experimental spacecraft was finally completed.

There were five people, or four people and a robot, floating in the platform compartment of the berth area, who were members of the first team of the Space Expeditionary Force.

Because it is a sub-light speed spacecraft, if remote control is adopted, the spacecraft may hit the celestial body, and it will take several minutes for the control center to react, unless the quantum communication system is completed, otherwise the astronauts can only operate the spacecraft.

Quantum communication technology has not been able to enter the practical stage, and the Ministry of Aerospace has to adopt a more risky manual driving method.

Multiply! The airtight hatch of the platform compartment opened automatically, and Wang Tiejun and two Space Force soldiers floated in.

"Salute!" The four of them hurriedly saluted.

"Stand upright, take a break." Wang Tiejun saluted and said: "Very good, the alliance needs your spirit, let me remind you again, the mission to drive the Sun Chase to Mars may be sacrificed, and it is still too late for you to withdraw now." ”

"Guaranteed to get the job done." Squad leader Fang Tianbo raised his head and replied.

"Guaranteed to get the job done." Political Commissar Lin Lei also replied loudly.

The other two team members, Yuri?? Ifanov and Masashi Kishimoto also replied in unison: "Guarantee the completion of the task." ”

"Very good, you are all heroes of humanity anyway." Wang Tiejun awarded the Medal of Heroes to everyone: "Come back alive." ”

"Yes." Fang Tianbo immediately replied.

After a while, the first team of the Space Expeditionary Force began to board the spaceship Chasing the Sun, Wang Tiejun looked at the robot No. 9527 following the first team of the Expeditionary Force, and couldn't help but think of Huang Zhong, who had been seeing the dragon all the time.

Obviously, he had doubts about Huang Zhong's identity, but now was not the time to investigate this matter, Wang Tiejun secretly suppressed this doubt.

After the first team of the Space Expeditionary Force got on the cockpit of the Chase Day, they immediately entered the life-sustaining anti-load cabin, of course, in the life-sustaining anti-load cabin did not affect their operation of the spacecraft, and their work of piloting the spacecraft was very easy, most of the work was completed by the ship's artificial intelligence, they were mainly decision-making and correction, as well as responding to emergencies.

And robot No. 9527 is indeed Zhong's sub-program operation, and it follows the first squad of the Space Expeditionary Force this time, mainly just in case.

At 10:12 a.m., the spacecraft began to leave the berthing area of the new Chang'an space station, but at this time the spacecraft did not start the photonic engine, but used the ion engine.

Because the spacecraft is too close to the space station, starting the photon engine may affect the space station until the spacecraft leaves the new Chang'an space station about 100 kilometers or so.

[The spacecraft has entered the acceleration zone, and there is no threat to the cosmic region ahead, and the photonic engine can be activated.] Masashi Kishimoto sends out information through a brain-controlled system.

[Activates the Condensed Matter Shield.] Fang Tianbo commanded.

[Condensed Matter Shield has been activated.] Yuri?? Ifanov replied.
