But fortunately, although there are already tasks on the shipbuilding platform in the spacecraft research and development center, there is no way to free up more shipyards to manufacture space mining ships, but the new shipyard is now about to be completed, as long as it takes another month or so, Zhu Lei He built a super-large spaceship manufacturing base in the synchronous orbit of the moon around the earth, although this manufacturing base is still mainly for manufacturing military spaceships, but this base has a place dedicated to manufacturing civilian spaceships.

After all, it has been almost ten years since the construction of this shipbuilding base began, so this shipbuilding base is very large, even more than the space city, but this manufacturing base is only a shipbuilding base and not a space city.

This spaceship manufacturing base has thousands of shipbuilding platforms, the largest of which can build five or six million tons of spaceship, and the smallest shipbuilding platform can also make tens of thousands of tons of spaceships, of which can make five or six million tons of spacecraft has more than 50 shipyards, these more than 50 shipbuilding platforms are the largest shipbuilding platforms in the entire spaceship manufacturing base, each shipbuilding platform is about ten kilometers long, about five kilometers wide, from a distance it looks like a giant spaceship docked in the lunar orbit, revolves around the Earth.

The entire spaceship manufacturing base looks like a beehive from a distance, and these dense shipbuilding platforms are like hexagonal beehives, and these shipbuilding platforms look very regular.

It can be said that as long as Zhu Lei's Yongan Group completes the construction of this shipbuilding base, it will continue to provide various spaceships for the Ming Empire in the future, but the largest spaceship in this manufacturing base can only make five or six million tons of spaceships, and no matter how big it is, it will not have the ability.

And with the earth's current science and technology, five or six million tons of spaceships are already the limit, if you still want to build a larger spaceship, then you must wait until the overall scientific and technological level of the Ming Empire breaks through to the intermediate intermediate civilization, it is possible to build a larger spaceship, after all, five or six million tons of spaceship, even in the general intermediate intermediary science and technology civilization is the backbone of the existence.

After all, not every civilization is the same as the earth civilization, in addition to the means of science and technology, there are also means of cultivating civilization in it, so from the advanced stage of the primary civilization, the gap between the earth civilization and the ordinary civilization has widened.

And the gap will only get bigger and bigger, after all, when the cultivation enters a certain height, and even basically everyone can travel between the universe in the flesh, which is very difficult for scientific and technological civilization to do, if you want to achieve such a height, scientific and technological civilization must reach the god-level civilization stage, and it is possible to reach such a height by developing various civilization means to the limit.

The cultivation civilization is different, especially the cultivation civilization, as long as they enter the intermediate and intermediate civilization stage, as long as the individual cultivation reaches the stage of cultivating qi and transforming gods, they can survive in the universe for a short time with their physical bodies, and once they reach the stage of cultivating gods and returning to the void, they can freely shuttle through the universe.

There is no need to worry about the depletion of physical energy, because at this stage they can already use all kinds of energy in the universe to maintain their own lives, so in terms of personal ability, technological civilization can never be compared with cultivation civilization.

With the opening of the purchase policy of early models of plasma thrusters by Yongan Group, only three months have passed, and the entire Earth and Moon system has begun to be lively.

Although it was said that the entire earth was already very lively before, it was a drop in the bucket compared to now, and the spaceship styles of the entire Ming Empire were almost the same before, after all, most of the previous spaceships were mainly practical, and they didn't consider whether the appearance was good-looking or not.

But now it is different, because private shipyards are involved in the space shipbuilding industry, various styles of spaceships near the earth have begun to appear in space near the earth one after another, although these spaceships are generally not large, around 1,000 tons.

After all, the current open-door policy is only a short three months, and it is already very fast to build so many spaceships in such a short time, and if you want to build a larger spaceship, it will take longer to build, after all, the larger the spaceship, the longer it will take to build.

And in the past three months, Zhu Lei's spaceship manufacturing base was finally completed a month ago, more than half a month later than expected, after all, such a large and complex spaceship manufacturing base, the difficulty of manufacturing is far greater than that of the space city, so it is understandable that the construction period is delayed by half a month.

With this experience, if you want to continue to build such a shipbuilding base next time, it will be relatively simple, and it will take ten years to create such a behemoth, and the speed of manufacturing is also very fast, after all, this is not a space city, it is a manufacturing base for long-distance spaceships, and its complexity is far from being comparable to that of the space city.

It can be said that this spaceship manufacturing base is the most complex project ever built by mankind, and there is no one.

And on the third day after the completion of the spaceship manufacturing base, the spaceship manufacturing base began to manufacture spaceships, but due to the lack of mineral resources, only a small part of the shipbuilding platform in the entire spaceship manufacturing base is working, and most of the other shipbuilding platforms can only be empty there, especially medium and large spaceship manufacturing stations.

After all, the entire Ming Empire is now very much in need of various metals for the manufacture of spaceships, although there are several mines on the moon that have been started in the past few months, but only the minerals on the moon are far from meeting the needs of the entire Ming Empire, not to mention that the Mars plan has not yet been carried out, if the Mars plan begins to be implemented, then the Ming Empire will have all kinds of metal panic.

And now the Ming Empire's smelting of metal minerals is far from meeting the needs of the Ming Empire, although now the Ming Empire and Zhu Lei himself and various mineral companies have begun to build various cosmic mineral smelting bases of different sizes in the universe on a large scale, especially the subsidiary company of Yongan Group, Yongan Universe Mineral Smelting Company.

Yongan Cosmos Mineral Smelting Company has actually begun to build a super-large cosmic mineral smelting base five years ago, but in fact, the entire base has just started until now, although this cosmic mineral smelting base is much smaller than the spacecraft manufacturing base, but its complexity is more than that of the spacecraft manufacturing base.

Therefore, it was not until last year that the design of this cosmic mineral smelting base was completed, and it was not until the second half of last year that construction began, and it is expected that it will take 5 to 10 years if the entire cosmic mineral smelting base is completed.

Even the first phase of the project will take two years to complete, it can be said that now the entire Ming Empire has begun to have a metal shortage, and the prices of various metals have risen many times compared with previous years, especially in the three months of this year.
