Chapter 172: New Plan Progress
On February 28, the alliance's annual show "Space Program Package" has been implemented for more than 20 days, but today people's eyes are no longer focused on the construction of "Space City", but on Mars.
On the 26th, the "Glow" was already very close to Mars, and its speed has slowed down to very slow, and it is gradually entering the orbit of Mars.
After staying in orbit for two days and checking all the systems on the spacecraft, they finally decided to land on the 28th.
Moreover, after repeated consultations between the high-level and the space agency, and confirmed the on-site situation of the "Glowing Confusion", they decided to broadcast the landing live, which will definitely raise the popularity of the alliance and contribute to the smooth implementation of the "package of space programs."
After all, this plan costs too much money, and the pressure at home is not small, especially since there are only so many people in the country.
There are a total of 20 people on the spacecraft, but only 15 people are on the landing mission, and 5 people have to stay on the spacecraft, while doing space experiments, they also provide various early warning tasks for the ground base, such as sandstorm warning, meteorite warning, etc.
These five people will not stay in space all the time, and they will have to rotate often after a period of time.
When the time came, the three landing spacecraft broke away from the "Glow" and flew to the surface of Mars with 15 Martian pioneers, and the separation picture that was delayed for several minutes was transmitted to the home star, which made the people on the home star extremely excited.
They all understood that this wave of Martian pioneers was of great significance, unlike the previous ones who just went up for a walk, planted a flag, and brought back a few rocks, they had to live on it for two years, which was basically a real alien existence.
It is still the alliance that is a reliable ally when it attracts the attention of the world, and half of the mining spacecraft on the side of deep space technology have been built, and the assembled spacecraft that is tens of meters long can definitely be used as a space station in the past, but now it is really inconspicuous.
The "Minecart" spacecraft is its name, the total length can reach 80 meters, and the cooperation between deep space technology and the government is destined to build its speed, although the official has a new construction task, but the length of 80 meters is really not worth mentioning compared to 10 kilometers, not worse than the number of parts.
The Alliance's construction plans are also sequential, the metal smelter and heavy industry area in the space city are the first to be built, and it will be much more convenient to build them after they are completed, and it just so happens that the "Minecart" spacecraft can drag the asteroids containing metal resources here after they are built.
Whether it is sold to the official or let the official refine and forge the required building materials, you can earn income by selling them to the official, and the building materials can build your own spaceyard, no matter which is very suitable.
When he was busy here in space, the undersea base was also ready, and since it was developing in secret, he could use the most advanced technology he could come up with, and the speed of construction really didn't have to be said.
"Sir, the ship carrying out the Jupiter biological exploration program is ready, ready to take off to Jupiter." Chu Xue said to Dong Qingchen.
At this time, Dong Qingchen had just finished a meeting with the employees, and immediately returned to his office when he heard Chu Xue's report, "Great, it's finally time to uncover the secret of Jupiter, give me the picture." ”
"Yes, sir."
Seeing the picture of the first snow turning, an aerodynamic spacecraft that is only 20 meters long is being hoisted into a deep-sea transport ship, this spacecraft is an unmanned spacecraft, the energy core is a small controllable nuclear fusion device, the latest ion engine can fly to a tenth of the speed of light, and because it is an unmanned spacecraft, this acceleration time can be very short.
At this speed, the spacecraft can soar to Jupiter's orbit in one day, which is very serious for the current Homestar technology.
The raw materials for the small nuclear fusion core are very abundant, and he has intermittently traded with the Alliance officials five times in the name of aliens, the most recent of which was just ten days ago, and the Alliance also took the opportunity to ask about the "Giants".
Dong Qingchen naturally didn't know what the "Giant Clan" was, so he casually talked about something else, such as "not in a star field", "haven't explored there yet", etc., and perfunctory the matter.
However, the alliance obviously didn't want to just forget it, and finally met such a kind alien race, so he then asked if he could give some support or make some intermediate adjustments when danger came.
Dong Qingchen agreed to this, saying that this was the responsibility of being a neutral race in the universe.
The alliance was stunned and left, but seeing that the construction speed of the space city had not slowed down at all, it was obvious that they didn't want to take any precautions, and if possible, they definitely wanted to fight it themselves.
Pull out a batch of space battleships first, even if the "Giant Clan" is that kind of warlike alien civilization, the home planet can get a little right to speak.
Soon the deep-sea transport ship loaded with the spacecraft sailed to the designated sea area, and since the color of the transport ship was similar to the color of the sea, even optical satellites could not necessarily see it.
The hangar hatch opened, and the spacecraft equipped with optical stealth equipment was immediately pushed out and flew into the sky at once under the strong impetus of electromagnetic catapults.
The advanced unmanned equipment is so powerful, it quickly broke through the atmosphere and reached space, and then turned around and flew towards Jupiter.
None of the detection equipment on the home planet has discovered its existence, and there is a proper technological generation.
"Sure enough, the homestar still needs me to protect it, and before I know it, I have become the guardian of the planet, starfish."
Dong Qingchen curled the corners of his mouth slightly, but immediately put it down again, and asked Chu Xuedao: "How is the simulation of the "Kuiper Belt Shipyard Plan" set before?" Now we need starships very badly. ”
"The progress has reached 87% sir, if it reaches 100%, I will inform you," Chu Xue showed the data to Dong Qingchen: "And the parts of the first engineering ship that have passed the verification have begun to be built, and it is guaranteed that the tasks you assigned will be completed on time." ”
"That's okay, it's not okay to hurry up and implement the 'Escort Plan' now," Dong Qingchen sighed: "The coordinates of the homeland star have been exposed to at least an alien civilization, and it is not wrong to arm yourself before you find out what the other party's attitude is." ”
Sitting on the couch and thinking about it, he then asked, "By the way, how are those two advances in quantum engineering?" ”
"The progress of quantum computers has reached 91%, and the progress of quantum communication has reached 93%." Hatsuyuki replied.
"Great, at this rate, it's probably in two weeks, right?" Dong Qingchen asked happily.
"Yes, sir."
"That's good."
After confirming the progress of these two technologies, he was relieved.
With a quantum computer, not only will Hatsuyuki's computing power increase dramatically, but the quantum computer is also a necessary device for calculating the jump channel, and without a quantum computer, any jump is uncontrollable.
Quantum communication technology, on the other hand, can ensure ultra-long-distance instant communication, with which there will be no information delay, as is the case with messages sent decades ago and no reply is now received.
