Chapter 30: Project Noah (2)
Yu Yifeng's way of speaking is very skillful, he didn't say bad news such as moon-earth collision and asteroid impact, anyway, human beings are going to leave the moon, and it doesn't hurt if you don't say these news.
"I, Yu Yifeng, am temporarily the first captain of the Noah!"
"Our spacecraft, measured from the outside, is a sphere with a diameter of 15 kilometers, and from the inside, the space is much larger, with a diameter of about 200 kilometers in the horizontal direction and a length of 60 kilometers in the vertical direction. Think about it, how big is this volume, enough for us humans. ”
"It has a constant mass of 1.03 million tons, which is the same quality no matter how much stuff is inside! We will propel the ship by detonating a nuclear bomb. ”
"Rest assured, the spacecraft is very safe, and we have enough technical means to ensure this!"
"Once the spacecraft takes off, it will only take four to five months to reach Mars. We will start a new life on Mars! ”
Every sentence of Yu Yifeng was like a bombshell, and every time he finished speaking, people cheered loudly, and gradually, the atmosphere of the venue reached its peak, and everyone began to fantasize about life in the interstellar era.
People are very polarized creatures, some people are very realistic, they think that ideals are scum, can they be eaten? Some people are very emotional and can sacrifice everything for the sake of their ideals.
However, it is often the latter that can make an earth-shattering career.
Of course, most people are centrists, and after they are well fed and clothed, they are willing to fight for their ideals. Now that all the plans have been made and it sounds highly feasible, of course they are willing to follow Yu Yifeng to do a big job. There are also a small number of people who are unwilling, but under the general trend, they are unwilling and can only be willing.
"Next, I would like to invite the person in charge of each project to give a speech......
After Yu Yifeng's speech, there was thunderous applause at the bottom, it can't last for a long time with enthusiasm alone, and it is necessary to use some solid and reliable plans to strengthen people's determination.
Designing a spaceship that can carry tens of thousands of people is very complicated, so many people are eating, drinking, and lazing in it, and all aspects must be considered, and how much oxygen to consume in a day, how much food to eat, and how much water to use are all very headaches.
Like air circulation system, water circulation system, power system, etc., these are all necessary, and ah, the sewage treatment system must also be required, you can't make the whole spaceship stink, right?
Not only that, but the ship also has to be productive and self-sufficient, and if something breaks, it can build one immediately. People need factories, they need farms, they need plantations, they can gradually live a better life.
These are all necessary systems for spacecraft, and nothing is enough, the moon base does have these things, but you must know that the construction of the moon base took thirty years, and now, people only have five months.
So, the first project is - demolition! Dismantle the original equipment and reassemble it on the spacecraft.
Don't think that this is a simple project, it has to be done gradually, and there has to be a sequence. Buildings such as nuclear power plants must be demolished at the end, and if they are demolished directly, won't all the power in the base be cut off?
Like the air circulation device, if it is directly dismantled, what will happen to the people in the base, won't they suffocate to death?
This demolition work must be carried out from secondary to major, from small to large, and at the same time to ensure that people's daily lives are not affected, and gradually relocate things to the spaceship.
The second project is - dig! The entire spaceship is buried deep in the ground, only a nod is revealed, and in order to make the spaceship take off, it has to be dug up, which means that people need to dig a large pit with a depth of 15,000 meters!
This amount of work is so large that it stands to reason that it will not be completed in five months. But in fact, people have been digging for thirty years, and there are a lot of ice mines under the spaceship, which are being excavated all the time, and now people only need to dig up the layer of rock and soil close to the side of the ship.
This leads to the third project - installation! Where do you put the excavated rock? Load it directly into the ship! Whether it's useful or not, put it in first. Anyway, the space inside is so large, human beings can only entrench in a small corner of it, and they can't pretend to be satisfied.
In the universe, there is no material supplement, there is a vacuum around it, and everything is used a little less. Although materials such as water and air can be recycled, they will eventually be consumed, and this little by little may add up to the end of the day.
Energy, in particular, is lost when it is used, and it is impossible to recycle it, nor can it be replenished on a large scale, so it must be brought in at one time. At present, 70% of the electricity in the base is supplied by nuclear power plants, and the rest is solar energy, temperature difference power generation, etc., accounting for only 30%.
Large-scale excavation of uranium ore is inevitable, as well as ice ore, iron ore, titanium ore...... Anyway, if you want anything, you lack everything, so let's put it all in and talk about it.
The last project is "building"!
This is also the most exaggerated, the most difficult, and the most exciting project, such as the "100 million tons of nuclear weapons promotion plan" and the "10 million tons of steel production plan" are all in this project.
When it comes to this project, there was chaos at the scene, and some of the original Russians and Ukrainians screamed and roared wildly, as if they had touched their climax. The Fighting Nation just loves this crazy plan.
Regardless of whether the major is right or not, they have asked to join the project...... As a result, it must have been ruthlessly rejected, the mining that should be mined, the demolition should be demolished honestly, and let you go to build a nuclear bomb across disciplines, can you?
Wang Zhiyuan took a notebook in front of the TV to see if this aerospace project could be realized. In the end, the huge amount of work and the intricate correlation are not clear at all. It is also said that 3,000 experts have forgotten to sleep and eat for two weeks, and it is strange that a small person can figure it out.
He reluctantly dropped the pen and found that Zhao Chao was like a child, jumping east and west, very excited, and couldn't help asking, "Hey, what are you doing?" ”
"Interstellar voyage, this is interstellar voyage! How can you not get excited?! Zhao Chao shouted incoherently, looking very excited.
"Didn't you also fly a spaceship when you came to the moon?" Wang Zhiyuan asked puzzled.
"That's different!" Zhao Chao shouted frantically again, "This is a real interstellar voyage!" Three-body civilization, god-level civilization, here we come, haha! "He's a big fan of science fiction, and he's seen a lot of weird things, so it's important to be YY first.
Wang Zhiyuan had never seen him so happy, perhaps most people were. I was struggling to survive, but suddenly, I found myself on the verge of ushering in a new era and becoming a hero of mankind? How can you not be happy, the mood before and after is completely different.
The first agricultural transformation program temporarily solved the problem of survival, but did not really change the plight of mankind. Humans guard a poor moon, do they really have a future, I don't know...... Or rather, no......
But this time the space program, it can be said that it is a real sense of the great change, so that mankind has found the way forward, the risk is huge, but the harvest is also huge, if it really succeeds, human beings can be completely reborn, from now on into the interstellar age!
Wang Zhiyuan keenly noticed the construction period of Noah's plan: 5 months, is human beings really so urgent? Not really. Maybe the collision between the moon and the earth will really happen, but so what, with Project Noah, he will never worry about such a thing again.
In this way, Captain Yu Yifeng is really powerful, not only in terms of his means, but also in terms of personal ability. As the leaders of the previous generations, they did not have the courage or the organizational ability, so they were scared for a long time, right? Wang Zhiyuan thought with admiration.
