Although Zhu Lei is very confident in the technology of the Ming Empire, after all, the Ming Empire is no longer the great empire of 20 years ago.

The current Ming Empire, Zhu Lei is confident that he can defeat the intermediate primary civilization under the same number, but now the Ming Empire has only a few dozen ships with real combat effectiveness, but these spaceships have no electromagnetic shield on them and cannot resist the solar wind, so if there is a solar wind, they can't sail at all, and can only fight near the earth, which is very dangerous for the entire human race.

And the entire Ming Empire has the ability to sail and can fight, and there are only three research ships, Pioneer, Explorer 1 and Explorer 2.

Although these three spaceships are scientific research ships, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, and their firepower is even stronger than that of real combat spaceships, but these three spaceships are not real combat ships after all, although their attack power is strong, they are much weaker than military spaceships in other aspects.

Moreover, these three spacecraft are still too small as military combat spacecraft, especially Explorer 1 and Explorer 2, so in the next 3 to 5 years, mankind must build a powerful space fleet, only in this way can we protect human beings or protect the security of the entire solar system.

And with so many tasks, it is far from enough to rely only on the official military of the Ming Empire and Zhu Lei's efforts, after all, to build a powerful space fleet, it must be composed of many warships, hundreds or even thousands, and even have super-large-scale warships.

And only relying on the efforts of Zhu Lei and the government of the Ming Empire, 5 to 10 years

It is still possible to build dozens of warships, but if you want to build hundreds or thousands of space warships, then Zhu Lei and the officials of the Ming Empire have no choice, so it is necessary to guide the private capital of the Ming Empire to participate in these projects, especially for the mining of asteroid mineral resources.

However, for the space shipbuilding industry, Zhu Lei is still more in favor of the introduction of private capital, after all, the power of the individual is too limited, although he has an absolute advantage in science and technology, but for some spacecraft with relatively low technical content, especially civilian spacecraft, he is still more in favor of openness.

After all, no matter what, as long as he masters the core technologies such as energy technology and plasma thruster technology, he doesn't have to hold the rest tightly in his hands, after all, he is not the same as he was 20 years ago.

He not only has to consider his own personal interests, but also has to consider things from a higher perspective, after all, now the entire earth already belongs to the Ming Empire, and there is no need to worry about other countries stealing some of the manufacturing technology of the Ming Empire, especially the manufacturing technology of spaceships, and there is no need to worry about the spaceship engines and various equipment sold by him being smuggled to other countries.

Therefore, Zhu Lei was there for a while after the Mars transformation plan demonstration meeting began, but after a while, he returned to Earth and came to the center of the Ming Empire, discussing this matter with the cabinet and military of the Ming Empire, as well as the royal family and the royal family.

After all, this matter is related to the interests of many people in the Ming Empire, and it is something that he cannot easily decide, even the current emperor of the Ming Empire must discuss with the cabinet of the Ming Empire before making a decision.

"What do you think, everyone has a statement." Now the cabinet of the Ming Empire and the military, that is, the Ministry of War, have been replaced with new faces, after all, more than 20 years have passed.

So now the center of the entire Ming Empire, except for the royal family and royal family personnel have not changed, the government personnel are basically new faces, among which the first assistant of the Ming Empire cabinet has only been in the position of first assistant for less than three years, and the oldest member of the cabinet is now only ten years old.

Although it is said that three years ago, that is, after the current cabinet chief assistant succeeded to the throne, the term of office of each cabinet in the future will be changed from the original to ten years per term, and the maximum term of office of each cabinet member cannot exceed three consecutive terms, that is, from now on, the first assistant of each cabinet may not serve for more than 30 years.

Although 30 years is only a blink of an eye for the current human lifespan, this is already a very long tenure compared to the original, and if you have the heart in such a long tenure, you can do a lot of things for the entire Ming Empire.

"Okay! As the capital of the cabinet of the Ming Empire, I will first express my attitude, I still agree with the proposal of the prince, after all, this is not only an official matter of our empire, so it is good for the civil forces to participate, which will greatly reduce the pressure on our Ming Empire government, after all, it is to transform Mars, and then to transform Venus, but also to deal with the alien civilization that may come at any time.

To be honest, since I served as the head of the cabinet of the Ming Empire, I have never had a good night's sleep in the past three years, and I am often woken up in the middle of the night, after all, the human race is too weak in space now, although the Ming Empire has built several space cannons in the lunar orbit in recent years, as well as a lot of defensive weapons in the nearby starry sky, but in fact, everyone knows.

We can only defend the airspace near the Earth now, and we can't do anything further away, after all, our previous resistance to the solar wind is too small.

Although we have now successfully developed an electromagnetic shield, which can effectively resist the damage of the solar wind to the spacecraft, these old ones cannot be installed at all, and even if they want to modify these old spacecraft, it is very troublesome, after all, the generator of the electromagnetic shield must be installed in the center of the entire spacecraft and must be connected from end to end.

In other words, if you want to modify a newly built spaceship, you have to dismantle half of the ship, then install the generator, and then reinstall the dismantled parts.

It can be said that such a cost is even higher and longer than the construction of a new spaceship, and in terms of combat effectiveness, it is simply incomparable with the construction of a new spaceship.

So no matter what, the human space fleet must be built first, even if the Mars plan is postponed, the space fleet must be built first, it should be without the protection of the space fleet, in case the alien civilization comes, the entire human race will be exposed to the cannon of the alien civilization, so, so if we don't want to become the sinners of the entire human race, then the construction of the space fleet must hurry up, I have a hunch in my heart, that is, it will not be more than 15 years at the latest, and the alien civilization will definitely come to the solar system, So we don't have much time left, we have to race against the clock. The head of the cabinet of the Ming Empire said to everyone.
