Chapter 310: Space City
The vast cosmic space, vast, magnificent, lonely, empty, dark and light coexist. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, Yuan Haochen was standing in a silver-gray spaceship, silently staring into the distance.
In front of him was an endless deep black, while behind him was a beautiful azure world.
After a while, Dock 1 began to gradually come into his field of vision, and if he continued to look farther away, he would see a behemoth with a regular body.
It was the first space city in human history.
Because of the use of standardized units, the space city sacrifices aesthetics, and the appearance is very regular and unpretentious, looking like an extremely flat box from a distance.
With a length of 20 km, a width of 15 km and a height of 0.8 km, it has an independently operating ecosystem that can provide a relatively comfortable living space for 300,000 people.
"Report to the Commander, the ship is approaching Spacedock One, do we need to dock?"
A staff member asked Yuan for instructions.
"Don't stop, fly straight to Space City! Let the engineers of the Spaceyard go to Space City on their own! Yuan Haochen ordered.
"Do as you ask!"
The staff saluted Yuan Chen, and then turned to leave.
Against the background of the vast universe, in front of the huge size of the Space City, the spaceship that Yuan Haochen was riding on was as small as a grain of rice.
"Hint, the spacecraft is close to Space City, start the connection procedure."
According to the design of the Interstellar Migration team, all future spaceships and shuttles (with the exception of battleships and large spaceships) will have a standardized process for docking with Space City. At the same time, there are supporting airports around the space city.
"The spaceship is connected to the space city!" The intelligent operating system prompts.
"Poof~"
After the sound of air pressure passing through, Yuan Haochen and the others began to enter the space city through the connecting passage.
In fact, the connecting passage of the Space City is only a transitional space, and there is still a barrier with the internal space of the Space City.
Walking through the passage, Yuan Haochen saw that there were already many scientists and engineers waiting in front to greet him.
"Dear Commander, welcome to the first space city in human history."
The first to come was Li Yueqing, a Chinese scientist, and he proposed the standardized construction plan of the space city. Therefore, he also participated in the construction of the first space city throughout the process.
"Thank you. Great work, everyone! ”
Yuan Haochen patted his old subordinate Li Yueqing on the shoulder, and then greeted everyone with a smile.
"Everyone, please move forward. It is a great pleasure for me to give you a detailed introduction to Space City. ”
After everyone arrived one after another, Li Yueqing enthusiastically assumed the responsibility of a tour guide.
"Please lead the way!"
"In addition to the power areas on the north and south sides of the space city, there are 10 entrance plazas on the east and west sides, which are responsible for converging and diverting spaceships and shuttles entering and exiting each side. We are now in the East Entrance Plaza No. 3. ”
Li Yueqing began to guide the crowd through the entrance plaza and into another enclosed space.
"Each space city is made up of 30 clusters, each of which covers an area of about 10 square kilometers. Among them, 4 clustering units are the power area of the space city, 2 clustering units are the power center of the space city, and 2 clustering units are the ecological adjustment center. Li Yueqing explained while leading the way, "And each gathering unit can be divided into 40 structural units, and what we are entering now is a structural unit." ”
Contrary to what most earthlings imagine, the interior of the Space City is not a huge space that cannot be seen at a glance, but is divided into 30 clustering units and more than 1,000 structural units by artificial areas. One of the structural units in front of you is a multi-storey space with a length and width of about 500 meters. As you can imagine, the entire space city is made up of many such structural units. Each structural unit has a clear division of responsibilities, and it can become an area for different functions such as life and entertainment, scientific research, industrial production, agricultural cultivation, or education and learning.
"It's a really stiff design, but the benefits are obvious." Li Yueqing continued to introduce to everyone, "There is a perfect isolation system between each structural unit, an artificial gravity system, and an air circulation system. If one or more structural units fail and have serious problems, or even are broken down by meteorites, they are quickly isolated to ensure that the other structural units can function normally. ”
"In addition, multiple isolation units can be combined to provide a wider space for independence. For example, People's Square, located in the center of Space City, is made up of 16 structural units. ”
"First of all, let's take a look at the power system of the space city, where a total of 10,000 artificial black hole engines are installed in the four gathering units located on the north and south sides of the space city. The black hole engines on both sides can flexibly adjust the injection angle to meet most of the flight attitude needs of Space City. Due to the large total mass of the Space City, even with a large number of artificial black hole powered engines, the acceleration process will be very slow. Fortunately, the black hole engine is not picky about fuel, and Space City will have no problem even if it accelerates for ten or twenty years in a row. ”
In the following time, Li Yueqing and the engineers led everyone to visit the power center, scientific research center, ecological center and other areas of the space city.
Of course, there is still some time before the completion of the space city, scientists and engineers still need to carry out the final commissioning of several core areas of the space city, a large number of living areas have not yet been completed, ecologists still need to fine-tune the ecological species in the space city, and the water cycle and oxygen circulation system also need to be further improved......
......
In a conference room in the administrative area of Sky City, Yuan Haochen and many researchers were discussing an important action.
"Is the Deep Space Resource Development Fleet ready?" Yuan Haochen asked.
"The First Deep Space Resource Development Fleet, with a total of 100 resource mining spaceships, is ready to head to the moon!"
The scientific researchers responsible for the development of the moon's mineral resources reported with confidence.
"Excellent! This is the first attempt by the Earth civilization to exploit a large number of interstellar minerals, and this is an important project to ensure the normal operation of the space city in the vast universe. Yuan Haochen said seriously and rigorously, "After the meeting, we will set off together to the moon to witness this historic moment!" ”
