Chapter 229: Space City
After Zhu Lei and they completed the design of the first space fighter of mankind, they began to discuss the design of the space city, due to the development of technology, the design of the space city before this time is useless, after all, the design of the space city before is only how big. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info is not even as large as the hungry spaceship designed a few days ago, and the tonnage is not as large as the spaceship designed before, so the original design of the space city has become redundant. Even the tonnage of the converted surface warships is larger than the originally designed Space City, so the world is definitely no longer applicable now, and even the space station that has been completed is not very useful now.
Because now Zhu Lei and their casual modification of a warship has a greater role than the space station, and the role is not comparable to the small space of the space station, but since the space station has been built, there is no need to destroy or abandon it early, some biological experiments that need to be in space for a long time can still be done in the space station, and the energy consumption of the space station is much less than that of those modified hungry battleships. Even the space station can sustain its own energy consumption with its own solar panels.
So now the design of the space city must be torn down and restarted, and the new design must adapt to the future development, after all, the progress of technology, the volume of the spacecraft will definitely get larger and larger in the future, and all the space cities must be able to stop a certain volume of warships, for the super-large spaceships that appear in the future, it is obviously not possible to dock in the space city so close to this distance area.
Moreover, Zhu Lei's main role in designing this space city is to make the transit station between the moon and the earth, and the most important role is to dock spacecraft such as small spaceships and aerospace vehicles.
And the medium and large spacecraft Zhu Lei and they plan to compare the price of large space ports in lunar orbit in the future, after all, the distance between this space city and the earth is so close.
If a large spaceship approaches, the gravitational pull of the Earth alone will not be able to stand it, let alone dock on the Space City, which is very unrealistic.
So the construction of the spaceport must be far from the Earth, and the orbit of the Moon is just right.
"Okay, let's talk about our thoughts, how big does the space city we designed this time need to be, and what should the shape of the space city be, after all, with the progress of our human technology, the design drawings of the spaceship designed before are useless! So I want you to remember that this lesson is a new design that must take into account the problems that mankind will need to face in the future technological progress," he said to everyone as he sat down at the conference table that morning, after all the people had arrived.
"I think it's better to use the previous ring design.
"Although our current technology has improved a lot compared to before, because artificial gravity and technology have not yet made breakthroughs, it is necessary to use rotating gravity to provide the gravity problem that human beings have to face for long-term living in the space city, so I think it is better to use a ring design.
Rotating gravity, it must be designed in a circular or circular shape, after all, other shapes are prone to cause a series of problems caused by the imbalance of rotational gravity.
Although we now have a gravitational circle, this is only a temporary solution after all, and the existence of Space City is long-term.
So we can only employ rotational gravity to provide gravitational force. ”
Saying that, Li Xinyu built a huge ring model on the computer, and in the middle of the ring is a huge apron, the main role of this parking evaluation is very good, relatively small space vehicles such as Suzaku 1 and Suzaku 2.
This huge helipad is connected by 8 passages, and on either side of this circular space city, there are 8 platforms!
"Everyone, please see, this is a diorama that I designed for a while, first of all, this space city is a huge ring. In the middle, you can dock small aircraft and since then, between the Earth and the Space City.
There are only 8 platforms, and these 8 platforms are used to dock small spacecraft, and these small spaceships are the means of transportation between the moon and the spaceport.
And Ren Yuan, which is used in this space city, is also the nuclear reactor that we are using on the earth now, after all, our nuclear fusion technology is not yet mature, and it can even be said that it is still on the drawing paper, so it is still far away to adopt controllable nuclear fusion technology.
Therefore, the most applicable technology at present is nuclear reactor technology, after all, this technology is very mature in human beings. And it can also provide energy for the space city for a long time.
Of course, the space city I designed is not limited to nuclear reactor technology in terms of energy. With the exception of nuclear power, the materials used outside the space city are all solar panels.
Of course, considering that the space city may encounter various dangers in space.
So there are also super-large plasma thrusters installed on the periphery of the space city. , so this space city can be moved, so that in the event of an emergency, the space city will not become a target for the enemy, or can move quickly when encountering extreme environments!
The pre-space diameter of this design is 10,000 meters. The maximum thickness of the ring is 300 meters, and it takes time to build, which is about 10 years.
But considering the progress of human technology. So the construction time will also be shortened, and according to my inference, the whole construction time will take about 6 to 8 years.
And because the space city is doing its own rotation in space, and is still playing Lao Tzu Earth, in fact, the speed of the entire space city in space is very fast.
For safety reasons, the entire outer shell of the space city is made of a special alloy that is about one meter thick and is currently in use.
Although the space city is only a transit station between the earth and the moon, this space city is also equipped with weapons, but all the weapons in the entire space city are only an electromagnetic railgun, which is installed in the center of the space city. Caliber 1000 mm. Although it seems that the caliber of this electromagnetic cannon is not large, the guide rail of this electromagnetic cannon is 20,000 meters long, so this electromagnetic cannon can accelerate the projectile to zero tenths of the speed of light, it can be said that this electromagnetic railgun is the most powerful weapon of mankind so far, and with the existence of this electromagnetic railgun, the safety of the earth and the entire solar system will be further improved. After finishing speaking, Li Xingyu looked at everyone.
"Not bad! Very good design, taking into account the problems we are currently facing, it can be said that this space city is not only a transit station between the earth and the moon, but also an armed fortress. Very good. After listening to Li Xingyu's introduction, Zhu Lei thought about it carefully and said.
