The second-generation spacecraft is becoming within reach, and as the research department breaks through one difficulty after another, the Changyang-class prototype ship, which is still being optimized, is nearing completion, and the Yuanyang-class will have to wait a few more months, but because the technology is already mature, there is no need to worry about anything.

The strong performance of the second-generation spacecraft has aroused the saliva of several major departments, considering the cost of the second-generation spacecraft, Cao Chuan is facing an arduous mission to expand productivity.

He watched Nana provide a summary report of the East Galaxy Company so far, with a total population of nearly 1.7 million, GDP is about 1.2 trillion, if according to his ideal shipbuilding speed, to maintain the speed of 2 Changyang-class and 0.5 Yuanyang-class every year, the annual investment is 160 million merit, converted into 160 billion, if you consider the near-supporting investment and maintenance costs, it has to be doubled or tripled, even if the East Galaxy Company as a fundamental force in the universe, the allocation for the development of shipbuilding can account for 20% of GDP, calculated that the East Galaxy must have at least 5 trillion GDP, can support the scale of such a large plate.

"There is still a four-fold gap between the goal, so such an idea is impossible to achieve!" He secretly thought, only honestly waiting for economic development to come up? It's going to take at least another 10 years, which is definitely a long time.

This is actually quite normal, who called the second-generation spaceship really expensive? In terms of raw materials by tons, the weight is about 8 times that of the Hengyue-class spacecraft, so the final 30 million merits are definitely a conscience price without any moisture.

Fortunately, in the past year, the development of the East Galaxy Company has been smooth, and the development of the system and Jupiter has been successful, bringing them a steady stream of wealth and population, and on this basis, there is no risk in expanding the productivity a little.

When it comes to their future spaceship, after hearing about the current problems of the company, several major departments have expressed that they want to solve the difficulties for the company, as long as the first Sun-class spaceship is given to themselves.

In the trade department, it must be the Yuanyang class, which is 100 times the carrying capacity of the Hengyue-class spaceship, and one ship is enough to match the scale of the current three major fleets combined, and it is easy to use for trade.

The Changyang class, which is favored by the exploration department and the combat department, is fast and convenient to come and go, plus they are not as wealthy as the trade department, so they definitely tend to be slightly smaller and have better comprehensive performance.

Therefore, Cao Chuan simply divided the two prototypes first to meet the imminent needs, and also intended to test the true value of the second-generation spacecraft in practice.

In return, first of all, several major departments recognized such a large investment, believing that the East Galaxy Company must maintain such a large fleet, so the figures of 2 Changyang-class and 0.5 Yuanyang-class ships a year are just right.

Several major departments have put forward plans for the next half of the year, such as the goals of the trade department, including opening up more than 31 ports in the solar system, striving to make the income of interplanetary trade reach 150 billion / month, bringing 500,000 new immigrants from the earth, outsourcing more low-end production and processing work to the earth, and reducing financial pressure.

The Exploration Department's plans include expeditions to Uranus, Neptune, and the Kuiper Belt, and aside from this pure spending plan, they will honestly devote themselves to exploring the surface of the Moon and Europa, bringing at least 20 more giant deposits to the East Galaxy Company, further alleviating their resource problems, and striving to achieve self-production and self-consumption.

The Pioneer Sector intends to bring in at least 200,000 Pioneers and try to establish a Callisto Frontier to "squeeze" the potential of Pioneers and fill their economic shortcomings by contributing at least 20% of GDP.

The plan of the war department includes cracking down on several star thieves "fat sheep" who are said to be hiding amazing wealth, and will act as "mercenaries" for other countries with the help of Mr. Advisor, and do several big deals.

In the face of the above ambitious plans, Cao Chuan suddenly had a posture of facing the pioneers, just because of the advent of the second-generation spaceship, all of a sudden everyone's enthusiasm and potential were stimulated.

He couldn't help but sigh, fortunately, this time he secretly transferred the manufacturing project of the White Lotus Princess to Pluto, and it was really a wise choice to not have to participate in the merger to grab meat to eat. The cost paid for this is about 100 billion, a not very high number, and he has to worry about whether Nana and Bailian are reliable, and whether there is really a way to build a second-generation spaceship.

In the next 3 months, the East Galaxy Company spent in peace, Cao Chuan was still the same as before, and hundreds of employees of the East Galaxy Company were also struggling for their spacecraft tomorrow.

The Yuanyang-class spaceship was the first giant spaceship with a length of 500 meters, and such a large size made the Changyang-class prototype ship, which briefly held the throne of the world's largest spaceship, have to be relegated to second.

The trade department has sent a huge team of 500 people to familiarize themselves with the operation, and they are even planning what to move in and what routes to run when the time comes.

Cao Chuan's arrival was welcomed by the staff, who took the initiative to get out of the way and let him visit the structure inside, a fortress-like behemoth, and he didn't know how much time it would take to walk through the whole room, and now, he was concerned about how the research department solved several technical problems.

For example, with the increasing size of the hull, the possibility of them encountering a wandering star impact is increasing at the same time, for this reason, in addition to strengthening the frontal armor plate of the spacecraft, the research department has also invented a technology called anti-gravitational deflection, even if a relatively large star collides, it will also interact under the action of the force field at the front end of the spacecraft, and the star will be deflected to one side by force, and the spacecraft will be deflected to the other side, so as to avoid the risk of frontal collision, at most "passing by".

For example, when they are extremely far away from the sun, the technology of spatial positioning is conducive to determining their correct position, since the general view is that the universe is expanding at an accelerated pace, and galaxies and planets are also in motion, it has never been possible to determine their position using an absolutely stationary coordinate system.

The research department uses a method that uses the center of the Milky Way as a reference coordinate system to determine their current position by the strength and weakness of electromagnetic waves sent by multiple distant planets.

Nowadays, with the increasing number of talents in the research department, coupled with the efficient research and development brought by wisdom stimulation, he has fully developed the ability to solve problems independently, which makes Cao Chuan very satisfied.

He looked at the schedule, half a month later, the two second-generation prototype ships will set off for their maiden voyage, and in another half a year, the more official Changyang-class spacecraft will be installed in the East Galaxy Company, contributing to their interplanetary trade, solar system security, and space exploration.

In August 2033, the general election of the Beacon of Liberty is approaching, and according to his previous agreement with Shapir, the faction supported by the Eastern Galaxy Company will officially appear. ―――――――――――It's another week of streaking, ask for tickets! ―――――――――――
