The 94th year of the imperial calendar is destined to be a noisy year, and people feel the innovation of science and technology and the tension of the human journey for the first time in this great era.

Fengchen Group, Sword Group, Monster Adventure Group and many other group companies have all decided to spend 80% of their strength to build a spaceship of their own, and target Glize, which is twenty light-years away. At the same time, a number of group companies decided that Glazer would establish a state system similar to the legendary system of chamber of commerce management, the empire was directly named the merchant alliance, and the national flag turned out to be two hands clasped together!

Feng Chen, the representative of the business alliance, said: The business alliance will take business as the top priority and make citizens rich as the first goal.

Because of such a strange positioning, many businessmen and some people with business ideas and visions chose Shangmeng for the first time, and it was really a cloud response, and in just a few days, the number of applicants was as high as 100 million people! It's just that the Shang Alliance's spaceship "New War" is still in the process of being designed, and the exact number of people carrying it is not certain—but there is definitely no problem in registering in advance.

Designing a spaceship is an extremely complex and massive undertaking. The construction time should be calculated according to more than ten years, so when building, it is necessary to fully consider the development status of the technology and the current status of the technology. Think about how to build the ship with the lowest unit price.

However, because the Youkai Adventure Group received a value equivalent to the first generation of the Civilization spaceship from the Empire, even if they don't do anything now, they can get a 30% stake in the Business Alliance. Directly become one of the most important organizations in the business alliance, and even control 30% of the military power in the business alliance - of course, the monster adventure group can't really wait for death, there are still moves.

However, other groups are not inactive, especially the Sword Group and the Fengchen Group, which have huge power and can spend enough manpower, material and financial resources for the construction of spaceships, and even move a complete set of industrialization bases into the spaceship, and these two groups alone can make up 50% of the technology - 50% of the entire human science and technology system. It's pretty scary. It can be seen from this. These huge groups themselves have the ability to conquer the earth, and it is not empty talk!

Just one business alliance is surprising enough, and now it's more than that. The empire even decided to do its best to send an envoy to Aquarius. save the "cute" elves there; And it was before ultra-long-distance communication technology was developed. Expeditions are needed – which means that too many relatives have to deal with a situation where they can only communicate once in decades. This made the citizens who had relatives on the expedition somewhat unhappy - at least in this way, the Empire broke its promise. Before the departure of the next spacecraft, research on ultra-long-range communication technology was not completed.

The consciousness of the citizens of the empire is very high, otherwise there would not be so many registrations. But enlightenment can't cut off family affection! Communicating once in a few decades, no one wants to suffer this pain. It is only natural that citizens have discontented voices.

Fortunately, it was the consciousness of the citizens of the empire that reassured the empire after all, especially this time the empire was promoting peace and civilization, and it was supported by a large number of citizens in this regard.

It's just that even the citizens understand that the pressure on the empire is not small. It's been 12 years since the signal was sent out on the elven side, and God knows if those elves have survived! Not to mention, it will also take more than 20 years to travel from Earth to Aquarius! That's at least 35 years! 35 years is enough to change a lot! 35 years is enough for a short-lived empire to experience prosperity and decline!

Also, the Empire is now replacing parts for the spaceship that has been renamed Hope - it will take a little time. With the completion of the development of the Dragonwings engine, the Empire decided to replace all the engines of the Hope spacecraft before setting off.

It's not a matter of patting the head, but sharpening the knife without making a mistake for a woodcutter, and replacing the engine may seem like a waste of time, but the new Dragon Wings engine is powerful, and with the characteristics of a magnetic engine, its thrust output is up to 200%! In the solar system, the thrust of a single aircraft is almost three times that of Gentian II, and such a powerful thrust is enough to make the spacecraft reach the established speed faster, or even increase the speed! In the same way, it can be used for a shorter time when slowing down!

The speed of the ship is not set randomly, especially considering the process of deceleration. If it accelerates continuously, even if the energy is sufficient, the ship's speed can continue to rise; However, because the overall power of the engine is insufficient, when it is close to the star system and needs to slow down, the deceleration is a big problem - if you are not careful, you will rush out and re-enter the vast extra-space environment; And with the speed and mass of the spacecraft, it is almost a fool's dream to make a U-turn, and the radius of a turn is estimated to reach more than a few light years, and it will take five or six years or even more than ten years in time! No one wants to bear such a price.

Therefore, if the engine is stronger, the final forward speed of the ship can be increased accordingly.

According to calculations, after replacing the engine, the overall performance of the ship can be directly increased by 20%! The reason why 20% is not more is to take into account the energy storage of the spacecraft, the capacity of the structure, and so on.

"Hurry! Faster times! For every day before the scheduled time, you will be rewarded with 1,000 yuan! Chen Qing exclaimed loudly.

As Chen Feng's grandson, Chen Qing also has too many high hopes on him, and people are eager to come out again with a great technician/engineer, who can further develop and integrate human science and technology - science and technology are not explosive development, science and technology must ultimately pay attention to application, and this is the responsibility of engineers and technicians.

Chen Feng was regarded as the master of the year, but his son's generation could only live in the shadow of his ancestors. But when it came to the era of Sun Tzu Chen Qing, it was just in time for human beings to integrate the cosmic information theory, which further detonated the explosion of science and technology. But too many explosions of science and technology have put new demands on the empire - to transform these technologies into productive forces as much as possible, rather than just merely relying on brilliant theories on paper.

This is the expertise of engineers and mechanics. It is enough for the scientist to sit on the sidelines and point out. Even the production plans formulated by many scientists have to be changed in actual production - because scientists often do not consider the cost, ease of use, and compatibility with the current mainstream technology. This requires engineers to make adjustments.

And now, Chen Qing has encountered the current bottleneck, the Dragon Wings No. 1 engine has been successfully developed, but it has been 3 months now, and its production line is still defective. For every scrapped defective product, the empire will lose tens of millions of dollars, and this price is too great!

As the presiding officer of this work, Chen Qing has not slept well for several days. Soak in the production line every day. The production technology that scientists came up with with their heads was adjusted to conform to the mainstream production technology. In this way, it can save more costs, and also allow workers to be trained simply to take up their posts without having to retrain.

And now, after continuous research. The new production line technology has been roughly determined. But the Dragon Wings engine is the most cutting-edge technology after all. Even if the requirements are lowered after rigorous calculations, it is still not something that ordinary skilled workers can do; Sometimes. Chen Qing himself even had to go into battle shirtless.

"Stuck, stuck! Pull out the iron pins! "This is a high-voltage discharge equipment that is being prepared for lifting, and to merge the magnetic engine and the plasma engine together, ultra-high temperature and ultra-high pressure are required. But such equipment weighs tens of thousands of tons. And now, it is necessary to lift such iron lumps and place them in the right position, so that the workers are scrambling. It's so heavy, and it's installed up to 20 nanometers! This kind of installation technology is definitely an unprecedented challenge.

In order to ensure the installation accuracy, every link of the entire lifting system needs to ensure the accuracy within 10 nanometers! Because the error has the effect of cumulative amplification, the accuracy of a single link far exceeds the overall accuracy requirements.

And now, just because the accuracy of the iron pin is 3 nanometers worse, it can't penetrate the pin hole, it's stuck in the semi-center, you can't get in, and you can't pull it out!

"Smash it in!" Chen Qing looked at it and decisively ordered, since it can't be pulled out, then smash it in! As an engineer, you must also have a certain amount of decisiveness and courage!

It is said that the cost of such a piece of equipment is calculated according to 100 million yuan, and it may not matter if there is a slight deviation of one or two precisions; But if the deviation is too large, this top-notch equipment will have to go back to the factory for repair. And such a violent operation will definitely make all scientists scold their mothers - such behavior will affect the accuracy of the equipment.

But engineers have a different perspective than scientists in this regard. In such a situation, the impact on accuracy is often greater when pulled out - pull it out, and you still have to plug it in at the end! Instead of this, it is better to gamble and operate directly and violently!

"...... a powerful worker picked up a sledgehammer and smashed it on the iron pin, so that the iron pin was in the pin hole and moved forward little by little. The huge vibration made the crane weighing 30,000 tons tremble a little.

The ......workers took turns to work hard, and they smashed the iron pins into it! Such an iron pin cannot be pulled out by conventional means in the future, and it can only be violently cut in the later stage. Although the position of the crane is set, even if it is cut, it will not affect the performance of the machine; But such violent manipulation is clearly not a reasonable means.

But in a hurry, you can consider it!

In fact, the installation was a great success - the engineers used alternative wisdom to solve problems that scientists would not dare to try. The machine weighs 10,000 tons, and the power of a human hammer is at best thousands of pounds - the difference is too great to theoretically have any effect at all.

Under the guidance of such engineers, the speed of production line construction has increased with a visible progress; And the workers are fighting for a reward of 1,000 yuan per day in advance! 1000 yuan, a month's salary for an ordinary low-level worker!

Thorn ...... Laser cutting began, and the iron pins that had been violently smashed into now needed to be violently cut down......

With the completion of the complete transformation of the production line, a Dragon Wing engine began to continue to walk off the production line, and the 100,000 space operation machinery that had been prepared for a long time became busy in an instant. Several kilometer-long mechanical arms continued to wave, replacing the Gentian No. 2 engines with a diameter of 50 meters and a length of 200 meters into engines that were almost the same size as the Dragon Wings No. 1 engine.

And the replacement engine is immediately ordered - these are real, undiscounted military qualities, and of course they are in demand. Virtually everyone understands that the non-military engines sold by the Empire, even if they are of the same model, are ultimately of slightly inferior quality - because military industry is another synonym for whatever the cost. Commercial products, on the other hand, need to consider profits. People rented flying saucers and so on, waited in the outer space of Mars, and shouted and bid without seeing a Gentian-2 being unloaded!

As the engines were constantly replaced, groups of soldiers and citizens began to board the ship. One has a factory, production lines, etc., which are moved into the ship for storage.

In March 96 of the imperial calendar, Zhang Wenliang re-emerged from the mountain and went to Aquarius on behalf of the empire; And for the sake of insurance, Gao Chengyang went out of the mountain and led more than half of the cultivation masters of the empire to set off.

The empire is extremely cautious about this elven civilization that suddenly jumped out! (To be continued......)
