Chapter 353: Unmanned Colonization
Two days later, Ye Ming set off for Jiangcheng.
At the same time, experts from the fields of aerospace and military industry also arrived in Jiangcheng.
In the afternoon of the same day, a research group codenamed "Xia" was quietly established and the first discussion meeting was held.
Before the meeting, Ye Ming first announced that cross-dimensional over-distance communication had been realized.
……
"The realization of cross-dimensional communication means that we can build a complete strike and defense system that relies on Aita, and the whole ship can be intelligent, even unmanned."
Ye Ming waited until everyone discussed for a while and then continued: "Of course, it is always people who master weapons, this is the principle. ”
Everyone nodded in unison, but immediately someone asked, "Will the interdimensional communication be interfered with?" ”
"If it's the electromagnetic shielding that directly affects the circuits and components, that's for sure, but not in terms of the signal itself, unless someone has mastered the dimensional weapon."
"Is there no delay in cross-dimensional communication?"
"The current measured delay is the delay of the terminal's data processing, within 3 milliseconds - this number does not increase with distance."
"Does that mean the missile can change lanes in time?"
"Yes, in theory."
Professor Huo Liang immediately pouted: "Then you still need a bird's plane, how good it would be to directly cause a fully enclosed missile to launch a hedgehog." ”
"All-missile missiles do not have the deterrent power of all-airspace dropping aircraft, which is contrary to the original design intention." Ye Ming looked at Huo Liang with a smile: "Teacher Huo, let's think about how to design this engine." ”
Professor Huo Liang, as the chief scientist of the first moon landing on the moon, although he went to the moon, he still did not stop working in Jiangcheng, and followed the progress of the helium-3 commercial reactor every day.
It is obviously unrealistic to rely on engines to push up tens of thousands of tons of aerospace carriers, and the only way to lift them up is to rely on anti-gravity force fields, and then use attitude engines to slowly accelerate into the air.
Therefore, the main topic of discussion today is to determine the tonnage of the space carrier.
100,000 tons, it's no problem to fool Lao Mei, but if you really want to be so exaggerated, there's no need.
"There's nothing to think about, the core engine must only be designed as a generator set." Professor Huo Liang pursed his lips and frowned slightly: "At present, our commercial reactors are designed to operate at full power of 45,000 megawatts, which is close to the two Three Gorges Power Stations. However, if a gravitational force field is generated, it can only ......"
Professor Huo Liang looked at Ye Ming.
Ye Ming lowered his head slightly, and quickly asked Yin Ta to calculate it in his mind and gave an answer: "35,000 tons." ”
"But the reactor itself occupies a lot of space, basically the size of half an invitation moon, and you have to take into account the additional heat dissipation modules." Professor Huo Liang frowned again: "The project is very big...... This is really much more difficult than a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. ”
"Yes, but Party A has needs, and we still try to meet them." Ye Ming held the pen and gently typed on the notebook: "Let's set the general specifications first." ”
Someone immediately said: "Then three engines, just 100,000 tons." ”
"No, we have to take into account engine overhaul and redundancy."
"The four engines?"
"What if the two are bad? And what about the electricity of the hull, laser weapons? ”
……
The first meeting lasted for three hours, and everyone discussed for a long time, and finally decided on the design plan of four engines and 60,000 tons.
Because taking into account overhauls, power consumption of the hull, power weapons, and redundancy guarantees in extreme cases, etc......
This is no more than a spacecraft like the Inviting Moon, which is either in orbit or on the ground, and does not have much time to really use anti-gravity.
It is a suborbital vehicle that constantly has to fight gravity.
But even then, a rough estimate of its construction cost went straight to 300 billion – not counting the design cost and other technical costs.
Of course, because of the existence of Aita, the cost of technology research and development has been greatly reduced, especially many technologies and modules on the Invitation Moon can be directly used, with these 300 billion, it is basically the same.
During the meeting, it rained heavily in Jiangcheng, and after dinner, the heat was completely gone.
Seeing that the weather was cool, Ye Ming didn't want to blow the air conditioner all day long, so he walked around the research institute with Professor Huo.
"Ye Ming, do you really support this space carrier project?"
Although the research center is heavily guarded, the environment inside is really good, between the office building and the dormitory center, there is a garden full of flowers, a small pavilion and a pond.
After walking to the pavilion and sitting down, Professor Huo Liang looked at Ye Ming and asked.
"Huh? Don't you support it? ”
"I'm in favor of it, but spending so much money to build such a big thing." Professor Huo Liang frowned lightly and shook his head slightly: "Isn't there a warship being built over there?" How's it going? ”
"Hmm...... Soon, I will probably be able to test fly next year. ”
The warship in Professor Huo Liang's mouth is a 3,000-ton missile air ship built with the same engine and the same idea as the Yueyue, and in the design, in addition to having laser weapon devices, the warship also has four strategic missile launch windows, 12 conventional missile launch windows, and 20 anti-aircraft missile windows.
They correspond to intercontinental strategic attacks, medium-range strategic defenses, and anti-aircraft self-defense attacks.
In Professor Huo Liang's view, in terms of practicality, this is enough.
"Mainly...... We don't have enough deterrence. Ye Ming was silent for a few seconds and then said softly: "We just established the helium-3 factory on the moon, and now the relationship between the whole world ...... It's all changed. You've probably heard about it these days, right? The EU plans to increase the number of places, and then the South American side also begins to plan to establish SAARC, and the United States jumps out again to shout for the integration of the Americas......"
Ye Ming shook his head lightly as he spoke.
Frankly speaking, he really didn't expect that after the successful landing of Yueyue on the moon and the establishment of the helium-3 factory, it would cause such a big chain reaction......
Now it is as if everyone is a group of monkeys living in the pit, and one of the smart monkeys is the first to find a way out of the pit.
This clever monkey said to the other monkeys, I have found a way out of the pit, I will take you out, and the other monkeys promised well.
But when the clever monkey actually climbed to the mouth of the pit and even reached the ground with his hands, the other monkeys grabbed it by the hind legs at once.
It's not that the smart monkey wants to take them up, it's that they don't let it go up.
So now, what should the smart monkey do?
The best thing to do is not to persuade education, but to grasp a stone in your hands.
Whoever dares to drag it back, it will smash his head.
Professor Huo Liang's brows furrowed again, and after a moment, he let out a long breath.
"Since this is the case, then hurry up, and send the industrial robot directly to the moon next time."
"Well, it's already being done." Ye Ming pursed his lips and looked at the half-moon gradually rising in the sky: "One day, we will realize the colonization of unmanned resource planets." ”
